ble and has a payment plan that helps people who are on the brink of not hiring a videographer to make it work with your budget which I very much appreciated. Him and his second shooter took the time to interview my husband and I and everything was so personalized. Love him!

our rehearsal beforehand to familiarize himself with the venue and setup, ensuring he captured the best possible footage on our wedding day. The final videos are absolutely beautiful and perfectly capture the emotions, details, and special moments of our day. The drone footage was an amazing touch and added a unique perspective. He also delivered everything within a reasonable timeframe, which we greatly appreciated. If you’re looking for someone who is dependable and truly talented at capturing memories, we highly recommend him!

o understand what was important to us and cared about capturing our wedding day in a way that matched our vision. Ali was there on the wedding day for the recording portion and did an amazing job. He communicated very well, explained everything clearly, and helped us understand things like the footage, microphones, and how everything would be captured throughout the day. He was extremely nice, respectful, and easy to work with, which made us feel very comfortable. David handled the editing portion, and we were very happy with how everything came together. The video turned out beautiful, emotional, and something we will always be grateful to have. You can tell a lot of care went into the editing, music, storytelling, and overall feel of the final video. We were very happy with the entire package we received. Everything felt detailed and meaningful, and it was clear that they truly care about their couples and the work they do. We would definitely recommend AcuñaCinema to any couple looking for a videographer. They are talented, caring, professional, and genuinely want to create something special. We are extremely grateful for everything they did for us.

the videos and truly appreciated the variety of angles he captured, especially with the handheld footage, which added a lot of great moments to our final edits. There were a few minor areas for growth. The video quality varied slightly between the stationary cameras and the handheld camera, though we did like the angles he was able to capture. Additionally, clearer coordination with the photographer could help refine shots and angles even more. Small things like this happen, and overall they didn’t take away from our experience. Acuña Cinema offers very affordable pricing, which made videography accessible for us, and the value for the price was excellent. David is clearly passionate about his work, and this is definitely a growing business worth giving a shot. We’re grateful to have these memories captured and would recommend Acuña Cinema to couples looking for quality video
