    Excellence in Videography!

    I had the pleasure of working with the team at Altamira Film Co. in March of 2023 for my big day. We worked with Nick on the day of, which was like working with a film producer. Nick was able to capture the best parts of our wedding and was very professional throughout. My wife and I couldn't be happier with the finished product!

    Perfection

    I don't even know how to put into words how amazing these people were at their job! They were so professional and so much fun to be around. We received so many beautiful pictures that I don't even know which ones to pick to hang in our house! They are worth every single penny. And if you're thinking about the videography bit, DO IT. I don't know how they did it but they somehow captured the love and the magic and made it into a movie. They caught every special moment the entire day held. The pictures and videos will last a lifetime and I could not be more grateful to them for their services.

    Altamira review

    Altamira was the best choice for our photographer and videographer! We used them for our engagement photos and our wedding day and could not have chosen a better team! They are amazing at what they do and create quality work. We will cherish our photos and wedding film forever. You will not be disappointed. If you are trying to choose a photographer/videographer, just check out their Instagram and you will want them for your wedding! Even family and friends commented on how professional and “on top of it” they were! Would recommend again and again!

    Phenomenal!

    Cory was incredibly impressive! Not only did he show up early, but he took the reigns right away. We did not have a laundry list of “wants” for photography, we just really wanted the candid natural moments of the day. He grabbed what he needed when he needed it, wrangled in the groomsmen, and was extremely pleasant to work with during portraits. We received our pictures so quickly and they blew us away. The vibe and expertise of the photos are amazing. We can’t believe how great they came out. Additionally, Cory did our engagement photos. He was fun, made us comfortable, and was willing to run all over the National park to grab a variety of knock out photos. Altamira Film Co. is hands down our forever recommendation for photography. They are pros. Their great attitude and professionalism is unmatched!

    A Cinematic Dream

    We are beyond impressed with Altamira Films, and would recommend them to anyone and everyone. We hired them as our wedding videographer for our Sept 26 wedding and just got our video back. Many of our friends and family have shared that it is “the best wedding video they’ve ever seen” and we have to agree. Altamira Films really listened to what we wanted for our final edit- cinematic & dramatic- and wow did they execute. It was SO much fun working with Nick. From the moment we arrived at the venue, he was giving off the best energy and was eager to capture our special day so perfectly. He was interactive with the entire wedding party, he was creative with every shot and every angle, and he worked seamlessly with our photographer. He took the dreamiest still shots- I truly can’t stop staring- and I would totally recommend him as a photographer too. My husband and I purchased all of the raw footage from the day and it was the best decision we’ve ever made. The picture quality/ lighting/ angles are incredible, and we truly feel like we get to relive the day over and over again with all of the video, audio, and drone footage. I really just can’t express how amazing this team is and how in love we are with the wedding video. They are worth every cent. The communication with Cory and Nick was timely and professional from the very first conversation we had them, and it is still ongoing to this day. We see Nick as a friend now and I think that’s very special! There are a ton of videographers out there but I’m telling you these guys are insanely talented and will exceed all of your expectations. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts -Haley & Jeff

    We Like Them

    Cory and Ross, what can I say. Bosses, both. We were so incredibly impressed with the entire experience of working with them. They truly made the day memorable, both in their unobtrusive and graceful immersion in the event, and in their breathtaking documentation of not just the big moments, but countless fragile ones. We experienced and loved our wedding. Then we got the link to our finished photos, and re-lived it over and over again, elevated and refined, gaining so many intimate perspectives and connections between all of the most important and loved people in our lives. Cherished pieces of the evening otherwise lost and overlooked, evasive in the present, but made memory and tangible, by means of those two virtuosos of the preserved instant. We like them.

    Videographer - Exceptional Work

    I did quite a bit of research on Videographers along with my daughter for her wedding day. I watched hundreds of videos and was so impressed with Altamira Film Companies work that I knew they would be perfect for our wedding. Cory was outstanding to work with during all of the planning phase and right before the wedding about 30 days out he had several meetings with Michelle and Andrew about the event. The final meeting with Nick who along with Jordan ultimately filmed the day was to sure up any last minute details and give them an opportunity to ask any questions. Nick and Jordan worked so hard the day of the wedding and were everywhere. From the bridal suite, to the grooms suite, to the church and then ultimately at ShadowCreek where they filmed from 3-11 straight at the reception they captured every moment. Every time I turned around I saw them, but I never knew they were there because they just captured moments without you even realizing they were. They stayed until the very end and captured the Sparkler exit and it probably is the only good pictures of that because it was just not working on phones. This team is exceptional and there work speaks for itself and we can't wait to see our highlight film, ceremony and full unedited reception. It will be a party because the hours of footage of the best day ever will be well worth watching. Thanks Altamira for being an exceptional part of Michelle and Andrew's wedding we can't say enough great things about the entire team!

    Amazing team! We highly recommend Altamira! You won't regret it!

    From the beginning to end, we were truly impressed with the professionalism and skills of Cory and Ross. Our wedding ceremony took place in a Catholic church so there were strict rules and "off-limits" areas but the Altamira team still managed to capture beautiful and captivating moments. They were adaptable and stayed in the background but still made necessary calls/commands to get everyone in order. We chose their photography & video package for our wedding and that was one of the best decisions we ever made. Thank you, Altamira team for capturing our love story on our special day!

    Highly recommend altamira film co

    We had an incredible experience from start to finish with Cory from Altamira Film Co!

    Cory was so easy to work with. Everything through the whole process--signing the contract, engagement pictures, planning for the wedding photos, and the wedding itself was seamless and without stress. Cory was everywhere during the wedding: snapping pictures of us, family, the venue, and sprinting to catch the sunset with us, and alongside everyone at the dancefloor. We were impressed by his work ethic - he was on his feet all afternoon and evening - but the pictures did not lack in quality at any point. He was exactly what we were looking for...We even had wedding guests coming up to us at the wedding saying the photographer was great!

    Needless to say, we are so happy with all of our photos and know we will look at them for years and years to come. Thank you Cory! We hope to find an excuse to use you again someday :)

    Incredible videography for a South Asian wedding!

    We were so lucky to have worked with Altamira Film Co for our wedding videography. Ross’ vision is unparalleled and perfect fit the style and creativity we wanted for our multi-day Pakistani carnival mehndi and rustic barn wedding. He was so easy to work with on both days and made the whole process so easy. We are so lucky to have such special memories captured for us to look back on and cherish for a lifetime. Thanks to the Altamira Film Co team for beautifully capturing our wedding days. We would recommend Altamira to any South Asian couples looking for talented and creative videographers in the DMV area!

    Photography and Videography were two of the most important things that I wanted to be perfect for our wedding and Altamira did not disappoint! I am so glad that I used them for both services, because you can tell that they truly know how to work as a team. Cory, Nick, and Sydney were so great! They are professional, so friendly, and what my husband and I love the most, is how evident it is that they truly love what they do! We wanted to take a few night portraits, including some with sparklers, and they had so much fun testing new methods and trying to get the perfect shot. Their passion and dedication to their work is so evident.

    Our photos and video turned out just as perfect as I imagined they would and I love knowing that I will have these to cherish for the rest of my life. The hardest thing will be trying to figure out which of the few thousand photos I love, I want to print and hang in my house. My husband actually didn’t want to spend the money on a videographer at first (obviously I won that debate) and after watching the video, he told me that it was some of the best money we spent and he’s glad I didn’t listen to him. I, my husband, my guests, my family, and my friends can all attest that Altamira is a phenomenal choice if you want high quality photos and video.

    We were so pleased with Altamira's work on our wedding day. They made a highlight, extended highlight, and full ceremony edit for us and they all so perfectly captured our day. Nick and Ian were our day of videographers, and were super easy to work with and relaxed. So we did not have to record our letters to each other in our heightened emotional state on the day of the wedding, we actually went to their studio a few days later and that was so nice to be able to do. We can't thank them enough!

    We had Cory and Nick for our videography and Brittany for our photography-- it was an amazing idea to contract Altamira to do both photo and video because the team works so well with each other. Seamless. I barely remember any of them being there that day because their timing and placement was just *perfect* for every moment of the event. They deliver on concept and creativity and it really shows in the end result. I love love love the timeless look of their editing. Also super impressed with the professionalism and service of the team. I can't thank Altamira enough for their work!

    We first found out about Altamira through good friends of ours who used them for their wedding. We got engaged about a week after their wedding and once I saw their highlight video, I knew we needed them for our wedding. Best decision I made in the vendor selection process! On our day, we had two videographers which was awesome because they were able to split up and capture me and my husband pre-wedding with our guys/gals, getting ready, etc. as well as get different angles/shots throughout the entire day/night. They did a great job of communicating with us beforehand and the day of to make sure they were getting all the footage we wanted to remember this day forever.

    Not only did we get full video of our entire ceremony and a perfect 5-minute highlight video that really captured the true happiness of the day...but we also received a hard drive with ALL of the raw footage...including some AWESOME drone footage of the location. I can't tell you how special it is being able to rematch speeches, pre-wedding fun, and reception fun whenever we want to relive the best day of our lives! This team is so good at what they do, you will not regret adding them to your list of vendors for your special day!

    Danny Freshley is absolutely amazing to work with. He is so responsive, professional, and truly passionate about videography. One of our favorite people that we had the pleasure of working with!

    Danny and Cory were absolutely amazing to work with at our wedding. We hired Altamira for videography and all I can say is WOW! Not only were they so fun and talented, they were EVERYWHERE! They knew how to capture the most amazing shots. Right after our wedding, Danny sent me some screenshots from their film footage which was such a nice surprise - I was able to relive the night again right away which I appreciated so much. They worked so well with our photographers too. They have an amazing eye for the right angle and cued us on what we should be doing to get the optimal shot. Thank you guys so much for everything you did. We can't wait to see the film!!!!!

    Amazing work!

    I did a lot of research when it came to hiring wedding vendors. Altamira didn't have very many reviews, but they have an extensive Vimeo page where you can watch their numerous wedding highlight videos and judge the work for yourself :) I did exactly that, and was VERY impressed by their ability to capture the emotions and beauty of a wedding day and then edit it into a short video. Hiring Altamira was one of the best decisions I made; since getting our own highlight video back I've watched it TOO many times to count. My husband said that it was the best investment we made. Although I didn't hire Altamira for photography, I've since seen some of their photos and am convinced they are equally as good at that. Their videos and photos are dreamy and artistic and you won't regret hiring them.

    Photography and videography was one of the highest priorities for us on our big day and we are so grateful to have found Altamira. They are so much fun to work with and very professional. Most of all, they are unbelievably talented and captured our wedding day in the most dreamy, beautiful, photographs and film. My husband and I (like most people) aren't super used to being professionally photographed on the regular and they gave us great direction to help us be ourselves but also look good enough to be straight out of a magazine. We're so happy with our decision to hire them and highly recommend them to anyone who wants to remember their big day with art that reflects all the emotion of that day.

    Fantastic Work!

    Altamira was nothing short of great. They were the best choice for us and our wedding day. Cory was with us through our entire journey. He photographed our engagement session and stuck by us throughout the Covid pandemic. We are so grateful to have had him as our photographer because he genuinely cares about delivering good quality work and he was just so extremely pleasant to work with. A year later on our wedding day, Cory and his team made sure to document every moment while being super graceful about it - and so many of our guests kept coming up to us and telling us that they're an awesome team and that they're working really hard. When we received our final photos and video we were in Awe. They captured all the important moments from our wedding day and watching our highlight video made us feel as though we re-lived our special day. We were truly impressed by their drive to deliver outstanding work. We would definitely recommend Altamira to our friends, they will exceed expectations for sure. Thank you so much Altamira!!! -Mahnoosh & Naveed
