Chris Castillo Films | Veteran-owned Wedding Cinematography in New Orleans, LA

Wedding SERVICES

We capture the moments that matter so you can experience the love, joy, and emotion of your wedding day any time you choose.

Your wedding day is one you’ll cherish forever. Unlike still photos, a professionally crafted video of your wedding day allows you to listen to your vows spoken with earnest devotion, hear the laughter of loved ones, and be engulfed in the full range of emotions of your wedding day once again.

Chris Castillo Films takes great pride in curating wedding cinematography that captures your personality and tells your love story.

“He genuinely captured real feelings and reactions that take you back to that exact moment.”

Here’s how our process works:

1. GET IN TOUCH

The first order of business is to hop on a call with Chris Castillo Films. We’ll discuss all the details of your big day including your wedding date, the specifics of your venue, and what your vision is for your one-of-a-kind wedding film.

After our call, I’ll send over a contract and proposal based on your unique needs. Once the contract is signed and the first payment is received, our services are officially booked for your wedding day.

2. LOGISTICS & DETAILS

A month before the wedding, your final balance will be due. We’ll set up a time to connect and dive into all of the logistics of the event day.

We’ll finalize the details and make a plan for the day of the wedding so you can feel confident and assured that we’re prepared to capture all the special moments of your big day.

3. FINAL CHECK-IN & DAY OF

The week of your wedding I’ll touch base to confirm the logistics and details for our wedding day plan.

On the day of your wedding, I’ll show up before things kick off. Because of our planning and communication, you can enjoy every moment of your wedding knowing that I’ll be there to capture it all.

4. CRAFTING YOUR FEATURE

After the wedding, your film will be personally edited to tell the story and portray the emotion of your day. Because each film is different, we always use a unique creative process and don’t have a standard blueprint.

We use custom footage to edit back elements that best showcase the day in visuals, audio, and storytelling. Ensuring your story is presented in the most powerful way involves intricate and repetitive work, and as such, the average time of completion for our videos is 2-3 months.

I especially loved receiving the digital video with easy-to-navigate menus to quickly get to certain parts of the ceremony and reception! If you are in the market for videography, Chris needs to be your first call. I promise he'll be the last because you'll book him immediately!”
