My documentary filmmaking journey has taken me around the country and to Central America. I have a Master's in Visual Anthropology from USC and am professionally trained to adapt to any and every situation I encounter. I am technically skilled, artistically inclined, and most of all, possessed of a remarkable empathy that enables me to capture the human essence of every couple I encounter.

From the start, Steve and his team were extremely responsive and eager to earn our business, clearly devoted to making our day special.

Awarded Best of Zola
Discovery & Initial Communication I learned about Gui’s services through word of mouth. A friend highly recommended him after hiring him for her son’s birthday party. Based on her glowing review, I decided to hire him for my very intimate civil ceremony. My main goal was to have the event beautifully documented so we could share the final video with family and close friends. From the very start, communication with Gui was seamless. He was responsive, efficient, and incredibly patient when addressing my detailed inquiries. One aspect I truly appreciated was his initiative to schedule a pre-event video call. This gave him the opportunity to get to know us, understand our personalities, and discuss our expectations for the shoot. His willingness to listen and incorporate our ideas made the entire process feel collaborative and personal. Planning & Preparation One of the reasons I chose Gui was his ability to include a highlight reel in the video package—something I really wanted. During our meeting, he welcomed my ideas and suggestions for the final video, showing a genuine interest in delivering a product that reflected our vision. Gui’s level of preparation was impressive. He took the time to scout the courthouse and a nearby park beforehand, ensuring we had the best possible locations for our shoot. His preparedness and attention to detail gave me peace of mind leading up to the event. The Day of the Ceremony On the day of our civil ceremony, everything went smoothly. Gui greeted us warmly at the courthouse, immediately setting a positive and reassuring tone. His calm and easygoing demeanor helped ease my nerves—something I truly appreciated amidst the mix of adrenaline and excitement of the day. He captured moments effortlessly, allowing us to be present and enjoy our special day without feeling overly directed or staged. Final Thoughts & Recommendation Overall, I couldn’t be happier with Gui’s work. His professionalism, creativity, and dedication to capturing our special day exceeded my expectations. If you’re looking for a videographer who is not only talented but also personable and well-prepared, I highly recommend Gui. 10/10 – Would definitely hire him again!

Working with Benjamin Thomas Film for our wedding videography was truly an incredible experience. Ben has a personable, easy-going and professional communication style that made us feel comfortable from our very first conversation. The attention to detail and high quality of his work is evident in the beautiful wedding video he created for us. Ben took the time to capture both of our personalities and showcased this in the video. He also added a personal touch by including a special section dedicated to my mother who is no longer with us, which is a memory that brings everyone to tears when watching our video. We love ending our anniversary each year by watching the video, and our guests always comment on how much fun was had on our special day when we post it online. Thank you for the memories, Ben!

Hey Chicas and Chicos, I would love to introduce myself. I'm Thomas, but you can call me Tom. I'm a DP, Editor, and Director located in downtown Los Angeles. I have been making videos and film projects since I was a teenager. I actually learned videography shooting weddings! I have spent ten years in LA working on my craft as a filmmaker (check out my website under the profile photo with the little globe). I would love to take that knowledge and apply it to your story as you tie the knot. It would be my honor to capture your day, so please send me a message and let's chat about your goals and dreams. Congratulations! :)

Working with Tom Gault Creative was an absolute delight. From our first conversation, Tom's communication style was direct, warm, and polite. Tom was super thoughtful and came up with shot ideas I would have never dreamt of, and the footage feels like a beautiful piece of art that my husband and I will forever be able to look back on with pure happiness. I'm not typically comfortable in front of the camera, but Tom made us feel at ease the entire time. We are so grateful for the incredible service and final video. Thank you, Tom!

He is a passionate tennis player, chef, and world adventurer.

Awarded Best of Zola
I made the best decision on behalf of my clients by hiring 550Park as their wedding filmmaker. I was planning the wedding for my clients in New York City and Brent of 550Park was extremely very courteous, attentive, and professional towards myself and the bride. As a wedding planner, I have a longer list of videographers I wouldn't recommend than ones I would use again. However, I would and I will book Brent with 550Park again anytime! I always tell my brides that besides their wedding planner and photographer, their videographer will be the one in their face all day long. Hence, it matters how they make you feel and communicate with you. Brent made my clients feel comfortable and happy throughout the day. He was able to capture beautiful moments of my clients who are usually not comfortable in front of the camera, and made them feel so comfortable and 'confident in their skin'. 550Park truly did an amazing job!

Still Do was so helpful and professional from the very first meeting. We booked for just videography services. Last week, our videographer was unexpectedly not available, but Still Do Media handled this situation very carefully and calmly, and they had a standby videographer in the backup team. Matt, our backup videographer, is amazing! He stepped in a few days before the wedding with professionalism and positive energy. He captured every detail in perfect style. I just had a little bad experience with how they deliver raw footage unprofessionally. Folders and clips are messed up and disorganized. But our experience with Still Do Media is incredible. We are always thankful for making our wedding such a memorable and joyful experience!

Wedding Weekender is redefining wedding video with a more authentic, accessible way to capture your celebration. We send camcorders for your friends and family to film candid moments across your wedding weekend — from getting ready to the dance floor and everything in between. Afterward, our editing team shapes that footage into a thoughtful, nostalgic wedding video that feels true to your celebrations. We believe meaningful wedding video should feel personal, accessible, and rooted in real moments.

Simply OBSESSED. I worked with the Wedding Weekender for my bachelorette and wedding and both times was SO happy with the result. The team is prompt and communicative, answering our questions before and quick to provide our footage afterward. It was such a bonus to get all the raw footage in addition to the final video - my husband and I watched clips every night on our honeymoon, the best way to reminisce!! I loved having content that was from the POV of my guests, it makes you feel like you’re right back in the middle of things. Lastly, this was such a cost effective solution when you already have so many other things to worry about. Video was the first thing we cut from our budget, but with this we were able to have it all. I couldn’t recommend them more!!!
