    1000/10 Two Elated Brides

    My wife and I chose Gallardo Films for their refined, cinematic style and their intentional ability to capture melanated skin tones with depth, richness, and accuracy, something that was non-negotiable for us. They not only honored that vision, but elevated it, preserving the warmth of our earth tones palette with striking elegance. Our film is nothing short of exquisite. Each frame feels intentional, immersive, and emotionally resonant, allowing us to relive our day in its fullest, most beautiful form.

    The Carlos, Isaac, and Brenda operated with effortless professionalism, moving in amazing rhythm with our other vendors while capturing every meaningful detail both seen and unseen. As a queer couple, it was especially meaningful that both of our experiences were documented with care, time, and reverence.

    From across the distance of planning a destination wedding from North Carolina in the States to Quintana Roo, MX, communication remained seamless and attentive from the moment we connected with Jho in Client Relations until well after our wedding with the receipt of videos. The inclusion of surprise messages from our loved ones added an intimate, unforgettable layer to our film, one we continue to cherish deeply.

    Set against the stunning backdrop of Riviera Maya, Gallardo Films didn’t just document our wedding, they crafted a visual legacy of our love. We are forever grateful for how wonderfully our journey was captured.

    They are amazing!

    From the very first Zoom call with Gallardo Films, we knew we were in the best hands. Carlos was SO genuinely excited to work with us. He made us feel like our wedding wasn’t just another date on the calendar. It felt special, personal, and important to them. There was such an authentic gratitude in the way he spoke to us, and that meant everything. At no point did it feel like they were juggling a hundred other weddings or that ours was any less meaningful.

    They were also incredibly understanding when it came to terms and creating a package that truly fit our situation. It never felt transactional. They wanted us to feel comfortable, confident, and taken care of, and they made sure of it.

    From day one, Jho was seamless in her communication. Organized, kind, and always responsive. She has this calm, reassuring presence that every bride needs. No matter the request, she handled everything with a smile and such patience. You can tell she genuinely cares about the couples she works with, and that sensitivity is rare and so appreciated during wedding planning.

    On the wedding day, the entire team was amazing. Let’s be honest — filming can feel awkward — but they have such a gift. They guide you, find the perfect lighting, gently pose you when needed, and somehow make it feel effortless. At times you do not even realize they are there, which is how they capture those raw, authentic moments. Other times, they create stunning editorial shots that look straight out of a magazine. It is the perfect balance.

    And then there is the final product. The execution is art. They truly listen to what you want. You do not have to repeat yourself because they just get it. They take feedback thoughtfully and implement it in a way that feels aligned and intentional. The video they create reflects you as a couple while still carrying their beautiful signature style. It is not just a wedding video. It is something you will watch with your kids and your grandkids one day.

    They care. They listen. They are incredibly talented.

    If you are even doubting for a second whether to hire them — don’t.

    Thank you to Carlos, Jho, Christian, Brenda, and the entire Gallardo team! ❤️

    Simply the best in the business.

    Gallardo films and their entire team was incredible. Professional, willing to work with me. I am not a creative person and had very little direction over the photo/film aspect of the wedding, and let me tell you, they completely exceeded my expectations. As soon as I saw their portfolio of work, I knew I had to have them. They just "get it" and everything they do is incredible. Not to mention they are so much fun! They ended up being one of my favorite vendors of the day. I would hire them a million times over. Thank you Gallardo!

    Simply Incredible

    We’re over the moon with our choice to contract gallardo’s videography for our wedding.
    Our wedding video makes us and our family cry every time we watch!

    The music selection, the close ups of us & our family’s expressions, the editing, the quality.
    Their product is simply unmatched.

    This video memorialized our wedding day so that we can always have something to look back on.
    It allows us to relive our day which is so monumental as weddings go by sooo fast!

    Reminder* as the bride you don’t see every part of your wedding i.e. the processional, your flower girls, your family walking down the aisle, the cocktail hour, guests expressions during the wedding.
    So it was so moving for us to watch it back and relive the day in a way that would be impossible during actual the wedding.

    Do your self a favor and hire Gallardo Films, they will not disappoint!

    Thank you Gallardo Films we are forever grateful!

    Amazing! Highly recommend

    Not sure why it took me so long to write the review, but Carlos was the videographer for our Central Park, NYC wedding in 2017. My husband and I just re-watched the wedding videos and were amazed and so happy that he was able to capture our special day in such a nice way. He was very friendly and pleasant to work with and the turnaround time to get our videos was also on-point.

    Professional, high quality, and creative!

    The Gallardo team captured all the special moments of our wedding day. While we were nervous and stiff behind the scenes none of that showed in the videos they made for us. They gave us great guidance and direction while filming the shots and eventually it was like they weren't even there. We are so glad to have been able to work with them to create something that we can always look back on to remember the amazing day.

    We did a lot of hunting before we decided on Carlos and his team, I'm so glad we went with them. We wanted someone who could really capture the feel of our wedding, but also find those intimate moments that we may have missed. We work in film so we were very particular! Carlos was incredible. We love all our footage. I highly recommend using them for your wedding. They are easing going, talented, and will listen to exactly what you want!

    Carlos Gallardo and his team are THE BEST in the business! The video they created for us is positively MAGICAL! They have an incredible cinematic approach to their shooting and editing, it makes your wedding day look like a Hollywood movie!! Everyone who has seen our video has commented that it is the most beautiful wedding video they have ever seen, and we have the Gallardo team to thank for that! Also, they are really wonderful to work with. The Gallardos came in like a Special Ops unit from the army, in less than 5 minutes they had their equipment set up and were busy at work capturing every last detail of our special day - they didn't miss a thing! They are such lovely people, so accommodating and they do whatever it takes to get the best shot. Their talent is IMMENSE - and they are clearly so passionate about what they do. I cannot recommend them enough!

    Would highly recommend Carlos and his team! Received our teaser video within 2 weeks through email. And our 2 blue rays were mailed to us in Canads within 2 months. Amazing quality and very great to work with. A beautiful memory captured that we will have of our wedding day in Mexico! Thank you again Gallardo Films Caitlyn and Adam

    We had our wedding at Moon Palace on 11/29/2014. One of the most important things for us was making sure that every significant moment was captured and it was. Carlos was referred to us by a friend who used him for their wedding a couple of months before ours. When I saw his website I fell in love with the quality of his videos. He was really flexible and very professional. I felt like I knew him from before. He worked well with our photographer and they worked as a team. Our final video was only going to be an hour and he gave us over 3 hours. We were grateful because we wanted as much as we could get. The film is clear and well done. I highly would recommend Carlos and his prices are reasonable.

    Where do I even start? I found Gallardo films while browsing wedding videos on Vimeo. I was blown away by the quality of the film, the cinematography and lighting, and the editing that I saw. We were in the early stages of planning our destination wedding at the Grand Palladium in the Riviera Maya, and I decided that I had to reach out to Gallardo films to see if they would be available. I am SO glad I did!

    Carlos was very prompt to respond to my message and sent me his offerings and price list. I couldn't believe the prices I saw. Having worked with some film in the U.S., I was expecting the prices to be more than double what he was charging. Without hesitation, I put down my deposit to have him shoot our wedding and a "Trash The Dress" (TTD) shoot a few days after the wedding. At this point, the wedding was more than 9 months away, but I am so glad that I booked him early because there is simply no one better.

    We asked Carlos if he knew any photographers in the area he liked to work with, and he introduced us to Jhankarlo (the BEST wedding photographer in Mexico). They worked together so well and we had so much fun with the whole crew.

    Carlos and his team were always on time, spoke perfect English, made sure we were comfortable and understood where they would be at what times, what shots they would be sure to capture, etc. Everything worked so seamlessly at the ceremony and reception that we didn't even realize it was all happening. We were so impressed by Carlos and his team and even our guests commented on their professionalism and skill.

    The equipment Carlos used was also state-of-the-art. The clips that we got to see of the wedding day, TTD, etc. literally blew us away. The lighting, the angles, the focus of the shots, everything was PERFECT. I cannot recommend Carlos Gallardo and his team highly enough. THE BEST value, skill, and experience I could have ever asked for. THANK YOU CARLOS!! :)

    We hired Gallardo Films for a full 8 hours on our wedding day and I could not be happy with him and his team! What a sweet, professional and wonderful group of people to work with! They made us feel at ease and having a video of our wedding day was easily the most important thing (next to saying our vows!) to capture!

    Carlos was communicative in the months leading up to the wedding, worked extremely well with our photographer and was flexible to meet us in the days leading up to ensure that everything was as we would want it.

    I HIGHLY recommend having a videographer at your wedding - the day flies by and its so important to capture on video, all of the special moments.

    So much love and admiration for this groups work!

    Carlos Gallardo is absolutely amazing in every way imaginable! Words cannot justly describe how wonderful & genuine he truly is. I promise that you will not be disappointed. He was definitely one of the best investments of our entire wedding! He is so talented and creative and puts his heart and soul into every second of what he is filming and it is obvious that his passion continues throughout the editing process as well. In the end you can relive the best day of your life in the most beautiful and heart felt way over and over till the end of time! Without a doubt, I would choose him every time no matter the cost. But in reality his prices are a steal for the quality of work that he provides. They say pictures are worth 1000 words but in every love story there are so many more to be told, and Carlos knows just how to capture them all so beautifully, both the spoken and unspoken! Every time I watch our video it makes me laugh and cry all over again, and again and again! Gets me every time! So far I've only seen the highlight video and I can't wait to see the rest because I know that every second will be put together with the same passion and creativity. We feel so lucky to have had him there on our wedding day to capture it all in such a way that I am certain no one else could, and we can never thank him enough for creating our very own most beautiful film that we will have forever to remember the best day of our lives together so vividly. There were so many little things about him that made him so personable and wonderful! We simply loved having him there and we couldn't have felt more comfortable around him. I felt as if he were a friend there to support us on our special day! And on top of all that, a true professional. Truly the best! Love! Love! Love! everything about him and his work! He deserves an infinite number of stars!

    They do not honour the terms of their contract

    They do not honour the terms of the contract we signed. Told me after I signed the contract that the prices have increased because I had to rescheduled my event due to covid, which they agreed to reschedule. They said a lot of time had passed but they never reached out to me in that timeframe. Also, no clause in the agreement about prohibiting me from transferring my contract yet they state it’s not allowed. I have emailed them a few times and at first they responded right away and now they are ignoring me. All I want is my deposit returned or the ability to transfer my contract to someone else. They don’t want to do so because they charge more for the package now. I can’t believe they can sign a contract with a customer and then change the terms of that agreement (price and other terms). I would not recommend them at all. I will be pursuing legal action against them.
