Alma Films was absolutely incredible! They took the time to connect with us prior to our special day to review our day, ask what moments we would like to capture and they went above and beyond on our special moments and day! We are so, so thankful for their expertise and beauty! With their incredible help, we can now relive our day over and over again! Thank you for helping us relive our fairytale day!
We loved having Alma film our wedding day - not only were they amazing and attentive, they were kind, personable, and supportive. We absolutely love reliving our wedding day and watching the film, it was done so beautifully and captured moments we didn’t even realize the day of! We will cherish this film forever, thank you thank you thank you!
I was initially super hesitant to have so many cameras in our faces on our wedding day, but I cannot say enough good things about Alma! They made us feel so comfortable and were so enjoyable to work with. While we haven’t gotten our video yet, we are SO excited to play it back. Your wedding day goes by SO fast, and while you can try your best to really soak it in and live in the moment, I am so glad to have these videos to look forward to so that we can relive our day over and over!!
We could not be happier with our films from Alma! Sofia and her team did such an incredible job working in tandem with our photographer to capture everything we could have dreamed - and more. Although we originally were not sure that video was a big priority of ours, we ended up upgrading our package to get even more footage, and it was worth it and then some! So much was poured into making our day so special, we were glad to be able to truly be in the moment and know that we could go back and relive pieces and parts that were being captured later on. We would hire Alma again in a heartbeat!
Josh & Alma Films perfectly captured our wedding day. They were so personable and easy to work with. Prior to our wedding they asked what we wanted captured and each and every thing we mentioned was beautifully captured. Turn around of our film was quicker than expected and our film is hands down the favorite piece from our wedding day. It allows us to relive the sights and sounds of our day. I would recommend Alma to anybody looking for a videographer!
Our experience with Josh and Sofia from Alma was nothing short of wonderful! Our preparation and planning went smooth and we felt they understood our vision from the start. They did a great job of capturing every shot and moment of the day while not making it obvious they were there. Even though they also felt like two friends and them being there during it all just added to the magic. They are an amazing and talented couple that we would 100% work with again. Thank you for the best wedding gift!
Alma was AWESOME. Super easy to work with and very transparent about pricing! We loved having them work with us on our wedding day. The day itself they were super professional, worked great alongside our photographer and laid out a plan for getting allll of the best shots for the video. Honestly I was worried about feeling awkward but Josh made us laugh all day, we felt super comfortable with them. We got the video back a little early too! It was absolutely GORGEOUS and has made everyone cry so far!!! Love you Alma team! Could not recommend them enough. ♥️♥️♥️
Josh and his wife are the ultimate dynamic duo! They are so sweet and so accommodating. The process from start to finish was smooth and stress free. They do a great job of getting to know you and your vision before the big day, so come time, they're able to capture everything you dreamed of. Our video is the perfect memory for such a special day!
Alma was such a delight to work with from the very start. They are extremely organized, timely, and professional while, also, maintaining such a personal, comfortable, and fun environment while working together. My husband, family, bridal party, and I had such a blast with them on our wedding day and were absolutely stunned by the amazing videos they delivered. Sofia and Josh are beyond talented and would recommend a million times over.
Sofia and Josh are truly remarkable. I hired them for my Malibu destination wedding for photography and cinematography. From the moment i found their Instagram *5 YEARS* before i was engaged, i knew their skill and style were unmatchable. When i had my first call with Josh, i was blown away by his level of care and ability to make me feel like i had known him for years! Not only were they absolutely amazing to work with, Sofia got me a sneak peak of my photos within 48 hours!! To say I’m obsessed is an understatement - their ability to capture the moment is absolutely perfected. I can honestly say that for any life event of mine i will be hiring alma films. don’t wait on hiring them! They are outstanding and will undoubtedly make all of your photography and videography dreams come to life!!
Alma Films was one of the first vendors I booked for my wedding last August. I knew that something as important as capturing the imagery and emotion of my wedding day was one area where I could not leave quality to chance. Each wedding video I had previously seen from Alma was a dream, and - as I had hoped and expected - mine turned out just as lovely. Everything in the film, from the little detail shots they included to the perfect dreamy background music, works together to convey the tone of the day and to remind us vividly of the many special moments we treasure from our wedding!
Where do I begin? Alma Films is professional, personable, and will make the best addition to your day. It was important that we captured our wedding to share with loved ones that couldn’t be there because of the global pandemic. We couldn’t imagine a more perfect look into our favorite day! Sofia was so warm, sweet, and made the day that much more special. Thank you Alma Films for something we will cherish for a lifetime.
Do we hire a videographer??? This was the most debated topic between me and my husband during our wedding planning. Ultimately, we decided to make the investment and I can't emphasize how happy I am with that decision!! The video Alma Films put together for us perfectly captured the emotions from our wedding day that I will cherish for a lifetime. I imagine 10-15 years down the road sitting our kids down and showing them this video and reliving the love we experienced on our wedding day. Truly worth every penny!
Alma Films is first class all around, wonderful to work with from my very first encounter to the last. Making payments, arranging a schedule and all of the logistics was easy to do with the Alma team. Additionally, the beautiful energy Sofia brought to our wedding day was appreciated. What I didn't realize during wedding planning is the vendors you choose are the people that you are surrounded with every minute of your wedding day. I'm so grateful I was surrounded by someone like Sofia who is so sweet, calm, complimentary .. everything you want around you on your wedding day.
Both me and my husband highly recommend Alma Films!!
Josh and Sofia with Alma Films were an absolutely incredible crew! They were extremely understanding and accommodating and independently worked around us throughout the day to make our photos completely effortless! They exude natural talent and bring out the best in the subjects they’re capturing. I will be recommending these incredible artists to all my friends and family in the future!
We were so grateful to have Alma Films be a part of our big day! Sofía took the most amazing photos that we will treasure forever and our film by Josh and Sofia turned out better than anything we could have imagined! Thanks again you two!
Alma Films are the only ones I would’ve ever trusted to shoot my wedding. The photos and video turned out beautifully and I would recommend them to everyone! They made me and my husband look amazing and we’re definitely not naturally comfortable in front of the camera but they make it so effortless it takes the stress out of it.
Best film crew EVER! They're work ethic and amazing personality were such a pleasure to work with on one of the best days of our lives! We would chose ALMA over and over! Only thing we would have done differently, would be to hire them as our photographers as well!!
As a mother of the bride as well as event designer, let's just say I had a LOT on my plate for my daughter's 9/7/19 wedding. I follow a lot of other local vendors on social media, so when my daughter and her fiance said they wanted to find a great wedding videographer, I immediately told them to check out Alma's work.
From our very first meeting, Josh exuded kindness, professionalism, courtesy and unbelievable dignity. The groom wanted to capture the engagement on video, so he hired Sophia and her brother to shoot the proposal. I don't know how they did it, but in a 60-second video they captured every wonderful moment of that day! They also took still photos of the proposal, and they turned out just beautifully.
The wedding only took place on Saturday, so we haven't seen any video yet, but I cannot wait! We wanted to add drone coverage at the last minute and they said "sure!" On the wedding day, they were attentive, thorough and almost invisible.
If you are on the fence about wedding videography, don't be. My other daughter and her husband opted not to have it for their wedding and it's their biggest regret. DON'T skip it! And definitely don't look any further than Alma. They're simply the best.
In the months leading up to our wedding, I asked a couple friends, "what do you most regret not having at your wedding?" They both said hiring a videographer. While wedding photography is amazing, there is movement and joy in video you simply cannot replace with a photo. We are absolutely thrilled with Alma Films work, professionalism and authenticity. Our wedding video was not some awkward, staged show piece. It is truly a glimpse into the most special day of our lives. Every clip was thoughtfully selected to weave into our story. We had a few relatives and friends who could not attend our wedding, so it was really special to share our highlights film. Videography is an investment, but it was most certainly a worthy one! We cannot wait to watch our documentary cut on our one-year anniversary.
Alma was so amazing to work with before, during, and after our wedding! They were able to capture our wedding day in such a way that we couldn’t have even dreamed of! We received so many complements on our highlight video and are grateful to have it to cherish for eternity. We absolutely recommend Alma!
We have nothing but the best to say about this team!
We worked with Alma Films on both our Love Story Film and our Wedding Day Film. Throughout the entire process, they were helpful, professional, and lovely to work with. They helped us figure out what was important to include or leave out and even customized packages that made sense for what we wanted. We showed our Love Story Film at our wedding reception and it was definitely a highlight of the night - would recommend everyone do this if they can! It is such a fun thing to keep for yourselves as well. We just received our Wedding Day Film back and are completely blown away by how perfectly they captured the feel of the day. I am so happy we went with the best of the best to document this process for us!
Do yourself a favor and look no further because Alma films is the best! Sofia and Josh are such kind and genuine people. You can tell they are passionate about capturing your unique love story and are so thoughtful to get all of the details exactly right. They were very professional through the entire process, the day-of they captured every moment while maintaining a quiet presence and collaborated really well with the other vendors & had fun with it - which I loved to see! They really understood the tone of the day, and captured our favorite parts, creating an incredible short film that makes us feel like we are reliving our big day all over again. We are so happy to have this film to cherish and look back on forever. Please trust me and look no further. You are in the best hands with Alma films!
Working with Alma was an all-around wonderful experience. They’re complete professionals – both during our interactions as well as the work they produce. Once we received our film, we we’re both in awe because it had actually exceeded our already high-set expectations. We feel so grateful that we were not only able to find you, but work with you. The film you produced so eloquently summarized our wedding that we couldn’t help but feel the emotion . It is something that will be cherished in our family for generations to come. Thank you for being you and leaving a lasting impression on our favorite day.
Alma is amazing! They are all so kind and made the whole process easy. They captured our day better then we could have ever imagined. We have not stopped watching our film. Alma made sure they knew what we wanted our video to look like! They are so amazing at what they do and most importantly they truely care that their clients wedding day goes smoothly and makes them feel at ease! Highly recommend!
Hiring Alma was one of the best decisions ever! Our video turned out absolutely perfect. I cared just as much if not more about video than photo and they delivered. One of the things that stood out the most was that the whole day they worked alongside the photographer making sure she got the shots she needed without getting in the way. Prior to the wedding day they will give you a form to ask what you want captured and the final product mirrored the exact aspects of the day we asked for. While everything seems like a huge investment and it is really difficult to chose, I am so happy we have our amazing video to cherish forever! People seem to say video is one of the last things you should add but I disagree...hire Alma first and cut in another place...you won't regret it!!
Josh and Sofia are amazing to work with with! From my first meeting with Josh, to our event, they were both so kind and professional. We used Alma Films for photography for our engagement party, and the pictures turned out AMAZING! We continue to receive compliments on our pictures and we are so thrilled to have chosen Alma Films to work with. We would highly recommend them!
Josh and Sofia were amazing!! They captured our whole wedding day perfectly from start to finish. I've watched our wedding film countless times since receiving it. They were so fun to work with and are extremely talented at what they do! I HIGHLY recommend them!
WE LOVE ALMA!!! Tears every time I watch our video! This was the absolute BEST investment we made for our wedding! I can't wait to be able to someday show our children the day mom and dad got married. What a gift!! Being able to hear our vows again puts you right back in that moment. Josh and Sofia were so great to work with and made you feel like you weren't even being filmed! They are so professional and so much fun to work with!!
Josh and Sofia were wonderful to work with in all regards. They were a friendly voice during a stressful wedding planning process and a friendly face on a stressful wedding day. They make their couples feel at ease and their creativity is exceptional. The finished product moved my husband and I to tears!! Couldn’t have captured our day more accurately or beautifully. Will continue to recommend to EVERYONE!!
Amazing job this photography and videography team! The unforgettable moments that were captured are rarely seen these days. Alma Films is in its own category when it comes to getting just the right look. Highly recommend them to everybody for whatever the occasion.
Alma was amazing! Meeting with them before the wedding was always fun and they had insights that we would have never thought of without them. The day of the wedding they were fantastic and when the location my wife and I picked for our bridal party fell through, they were able to help us find an even better location on a moments notice! I would highly recommend them to anyone!
