They were incredibly prompt on the big day and kept everything moving smoothly without us ever feeling rushed. Their friendly, upbeat attitude made it easy to relax and enjoy every moment. Because they knew the layout of Stambaugh so well, they anticipated shots and transitions perfectly. That familiarity with the venue helped everything flow naturally throughout the day. They captured so many meaningful moments, both big and small, that we still cherish. Our wedding was documented beautifully and authentically. Even now, six years later, we find ourselves watching the footage on a regular basis.

I'm a Brazilian photographer and filmmaker based in Los Angeles, specializing in multicultural weddings since 2018. I've photographed couples from over 40 countries, blending traditions from Mexico to Morocco, India to Ireland, Japan to Brazil. My style is vibrant, natural, and true to life—focused on authentic emotion and joyful moments.

“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!”

We shipped it back and what we got 2 months later was beyond our wildest dreams. They made it everything we wanted: nostalgic, fun, loving, and such a perfect snapshot of our weekend. I even had 2 small edits after they delivered the video and they had it back to us right away. The team processing and editing these videos truly have a magic touch.

When we received the final video, we were blown away. It was better than we could have imagined, perfectly capturing the joy and love of our wedding. We 101% recommend Williams Event Services for any event. Conner and his team are not only talented, but also genuinely caring people who will go above and beyond to make your day unforgettable. Thank you, Williams Event Services!”
