Contessa Films

I can’t say enough kind things about Anthony! He worked with my photographer so unbelievably well and I can’t wait to see the footage! He was so sweet and genuinely helped us out if we needed anything at all. He has super quick response time, and was always ready to answer any questions we had for him. He made sure to get every shot we wanted, and helped my girls and my guys to feel super comfortable in front of the camera. If you are in need of an amazing videographer… hire Anthony!

Anthony was so great to work with for our wedding! He has great attention to detail and made sure to capture all of our special moments throughout the day. We are so glad we have these wedding videos to cherish as a keepsake of our special day. We can't recommend Anthony enough!

I can not recommend Anthony and the Contessa crew enough! From the first time I spoke to Anthony, I knew how dedicated he was to his job. Every interaction I had with him was professional and he is just the absolute sweetest! I was really impressed that on our wedding day him and our photographer worked so well together - they were extremely courteous which was a breath of fresh air seeing how some of our other vendors interacted. And then... WE GOT OUR VIDEOS. And let me just say, it is without a doubt the vendor I am so happy we spent the money on. I can’t stop watching the trailer which is everything I could have dreamed of and more. I love that the documentary captures every little detail, even things that my husband and I didn’t notice at the time! Thank you Anthony for turning our fairy tale wedding into memories we get to experience over and over again!

Anthony did an AMAZING job for my wedding(s)!!! With COVID cancelling the first wedding, having to change my location and date for my micro-wedding; Anthony’s enthusiasm and professionalism never faltered. He will go great lengths for the perfect picture/video. Rain, shine or sweat does not affect him 😃 we are very thankful we had Anthony there to capture our perfect day.

I cannot say enough good things about Anthony. He last minute picked our wedding up and provided the most beautiful content. He works so hard and you can tell he truly loves why he does. I cannot recommend Anthony enough — very knowledgeable and on top of it. Additionally, Anthony was very good at keeping in contact, ensuring he got all shots that we wanted, and went over and above to help us weeks after the event to make sure everything was nothing less than perfection.

Contessa Films with Anthony and Alex was the BEST hiring of all our vendors, and we had some GREAT vendors. We continue to hear compliments about the whole wedding, with Contessa Films and their video and photography work being highlighted. Anthony working with the drone and its FANTASTIC SHOTS, the creativity and insight from his filming experience thoroughly show in the process and final product. We fully recommend Anthony and Alex with Contessa Films, and we still love and enjoy watching the detalied video and over 800 pictures of our huge day and evening. EVERYTHING, all elements are above and beyond with Contessa Films service and product. I am one who writes reviews only if product is seriously bad....or as in Contessa Films case is THOROUGHLY FIRST CLASS. I FULLY RECOMMEND CONTESSA FILMS and am very happy to do so! No limits to the quality, effort, insight, creativity and dedication in their service and product.

Wedding was May 4th. We were on lockdown. Our venue canceled our wedding without giving us a chance to make a decision for ourselves. With doing so we decided that having a destination wedding would not be the best for our friends and family. Mainly because it really wasn’t our choice to cancel in the first place. You would think that maybe there would be a little bit more understanding about whole situation. Instead Anthony decides to email my wife about taking her 1 star review down Because it hurt his ego. Criticism is part of the world. Good or bad. In this case. I feel that it should be known that this guy is worried more about his 1 star reviews than being a decent human being in the middle of a pandemic. Of course the contract states that there are no refunds. That is very understandable. Our photographer also had the same contract. He sent our full deposit back to us letting us know that out of the GOODNESS OF HIS HEART he didn’t feel right keeping his money. THAT is the way I feel more people should be. I’m just here to warn you all to rethink before hiring this guy.

Kept my entire deposit, never did an inch of work. Our wedding was cancelled due to covid, the venue itself canceled our wedding and they shut down there building for over a month! Anthony would not work with us an kindly give us the money that we so deserved back. Hard times really expose ill hearted individuals. On the other hand I'm glad we never gave him more money or had to work with him. Pls keep this into consideration when choosing your "vendors" !!!!!!!!!!

I cannot recommend Anthony with Contessa Films enough! He was incredible throughout the entire planning process, the week of, and the day of. He was so professional and truly wanted to absolute best for my husband and I. He really wanted to capture what we wanted our day to look like! He worked so well with all of our other vendors and really brought up the energy the entire wedding day! I felt so calm, cool, and collected around him and so did my husband! He is so sweet and even our guests talked about how fun he was at the reception! I couldn't be happier we chose him to shoot our big day, and can't wait to see the masterpiece he puts together for us! We are so grateful for you, Anthony! Thank you!

I'm so happy we chose Anthony to film our special day at Casa Lantana. His prices are very reasonable for a trailer and hour long film, and you get a quality product on top of all that. The drone footage was a really nice touch and captured the landscape, as well as all of the wedding reception action. His videos have a truly cinematic quality to them. Additionally, Anthony made sure to make my husband and I comfortable in front of the camera and did not get in the way of our wedding guests. I highly recommend Contessa Films for your wedding!

Anthony did an amazing job filming our special day. We are so happy we went with him! Choosing the videographer is one of the most important steps of your wedding. This is something you are going to watch over and over again until you grow old. Anthony not only has a great personality but has the skills to match up! Thank you Anthony!

Anthony did a fabulous job at capturing our personalities together for our engagement session. He made us feel comfortable and slid in his expertise in a kind professional way. His turnaround time was short and we loved his work! I would recommend him to all of my friends!! Thank you Anthony!! ~Lindsey and Taylor

Anthony is so personable and talented. He was able to capture every moment we wanted on our special day. He can do it all! He went well beyond our wildest expectations and we couldn’t have asked for more. Thank you so much!!

Anthony is the most professionnel videographer I never met, he is very passionate about his job. He makes everyone feels confortable, my husband and i are so greatfull to have him as videographer for our big day. Thank you from Belguim.

Anthony is a real artist, real talented person.

Antony is the best photographer ever

What can we say except Anthony is the kindest and most genuine person we have ever encountered. Nothing was too much trouble for him and he helped us create memories that will last a lifetime. We are from the UK but had our wedding in Florida on the beach. We did some research for some videographers and Anthony stood out immediately. His portfolio is a true reflection of what he offers and he truly offers 100%. Anthony’s videos were amazing to watch and exactly how we wanted to capture our day. His customer service is second to none - he is the most down to earth, personable individual we have ever met. It was hard to find someone that could do cinematography and my partner and I really wanted a movie style video. This is exactly what we got with Anthony. Our film came out better than we ever expected. Anthony’s work is incredible and shows the amount of thought and detail he puts into each one of his videos. He had tonnes of equipment and for us, his drone shots were the icing on the cake. You can tell Anthony has an eye for shots - he is so creative, it is honestly incredible to be around. The final edited video is fantastic! My partner and I constantly re-watch it. We would not hesitate to recommend Anthony at Contessa Films to anyone, he is a true artist and will work with you to get the best possible shots, not matter long it takes or how dark it gets! Anthony turned up on time and went above and beyond what was expected, purely because of his passion for his work. My partner and I will always remember our special day thanks to Anthony, he truly made it fun and an exciting time. His enthusiasm is just infectious. If you ever need a videographer you would be crazy not to book Contessa Films, you will not regret it. Not only will you get an amazing videographer but I can promise you will gain a friend. Thank you for everything Anthony, you became a part of our wedding and we are forever grateful. Matt & Hardeep

Anthony is very professional and amazing to have! Even when he left the country two weeks before my wedding for another commitment, Anthony would still stay in contact with me and answer any questions I would have. He was truly accommodating and helpful in every aspect. We were very lucky to have him as our videographer for our special day.

Amazing. Incredible. Beautiful. Stunning. Just a few of the words we, our family and friends, feel about Contessa Films. Anthony and his unbelievably creative team made our wedding into the most memorable movie. Anthony and his team are patient, experienced, very easy to work with, professional, and down to earth. Strongly, strongly suggested. Thank you Contessa Films.

I have been holding off writing a review as I wanted to have possession of our video first. We received our trailer and full video via Dropbox a little over 45 days after our wedding despite the contract stating we would receive the trailer 3 weeks and the full video 45 days later. We are still waiting on the physical USB to arrive as our contract states we should have received one as well by now. Anthony informed us the week of our wedding he may not show up the day of due to a family emergency (also the cause for the delay in our videos). We tried to be understanding as life happens. However, the gentleman who arrived did not know how to work the drone apparently and clearly NO communication had been had between the two of them. He did not even stay til the end for our sparkler exit! It is obvious the drone footage in our videos is not from the day of our wedding as it is the wrong time of day and our cermony was not set up, etc. At this point I am just grateful we have the footage because for a long time I was scared we would never get it or that it was lost entirely. Hiring Contessa Films was my biggest mistake in all of wedding planning. They are the only vendor I completely regret hiring.

Anthony was so much fun to work with. He was definitely one of our favorite vendors! Professional, skilled, easy to work with and great sense of humor are just some of the ways I can describe him. Thank you lots!!!

Anthony and Alexandra are simply amazing. They treat you as more than just a client and by the end of your wedding you are wishing you were best friends with them! We picked Anthony as soon as we got engaged. He was the first and only videographer we met with and that was enough. He has such a gift for what he does. My Husband and I were incredibly lucky to come across him. We had our engagement photos done with him (another photographer cancelled on us the day of the shoot and Anthony saved the day). And we cannot wait to see the magic he creates with our photos and videos from our wedding 2 weekends ago. Anthony is true to his talent/art. His passion for what he does is so obvious. I will be recommending him to all my future engaged friends.

I highly recommend Contessa films! My daughters wedding video was the best I’ve ever seen! I was truly amazed when we got it. It was even better then I expected. It took a little longer then I expected but once we saw it I can understand why. Anthony the owner is very nice and always gets right back with you when you try to contact him.

Anthony and his team gave us an incredible wedding video and a beautiful trailer! It’s great to be able to relive your special day. Their price point is perfect and WELL worth it. We will cherish these videos for the rest of our lives. If we did it over I would choose Contessa Films again and again. Very pleased with the outcome! Thank you Anthony and team for giving us our dream video!

Anthony was great to work with! Very personable and easy to communicate with. On the day of the wedding he was so amazing and had great energy! He captured every moment perfectly. The trailer video looked like a music video, it was done so well. We couldn’t be happier with the final product! Go with Anthony if you want someone who is easy to work with, professional, and produces the most amazing work! We couldn’t be happier.

Anthony was amazing to work with! Our videos came out amazing! He captured all of the things I wanted and he also made sure to capture all of the little things. The wedding video I will have for forever. Anthony was very attentive to my emails and my wish list of musts.

There are no words to express how perfect our wedding day was and one of the reasons is our amazing videographer. Not only did he do a wonderful job on our wedding video but he was so fun to work with. He was very professional but it also felt like he was celebrating with us. His energy was so fun and positive and that's so important when choosing the right videographer. He's also there for you if you have any questions about your video. Thank you Anthony!

"Wow"...was my initial reaction! Contessa Films created stunning videography of our wedding day, captured in a film makers style not a cheesy "video" look! Anthony is a creative visionary and assembled our trailer and full length film with impeccable style, transitions and to the music selected! My wife and I cherish these films as they truly immortalized our wedding day. We can honestly say, the financial investment has many returns so do not hesitate if you are on the fence. And, since ours was a destination beach wedding, we did the Drone Package...what a different perspective the aerial views bring to your wedding film memories. Anthony and Contessa Films are the way to go!!! He creates magic!

We were so please to have Anthony as our wedding videographer. He is very professional but also so passionate about what he does and brings excitement to capturing those special moments on your wedding day. He was filled with energy, got all the shots that we wanted and more, and was super helpful throughout the entire wedding planning process. We are so thankful we found him! Would definitely recommend!

Anthony did a fabulous on the video of our daughter, Catherine's wedding was held at the Floridan Palace this past June. The trailer of the wedding video that he sent us was so beautiful that both my husband and I were crying when we watched it. When the entire wedding video arrived and we watched it, we were awestruck. Anthony captured every nuance of the bride and groom getting ready for the wedding, the ceremony and the reception. His work is outstanding. We would highly recommend Contessa Films. Anthony is a kind, compassionate professional Videographer. We would definitely use his services again!!!!

Anthony was amazing to work with on our wedding day!! He was friendly, funny, and captured every aspect of our wedding day. I would definitely recommend him to anyone getting married or would need a videographer for any reason. Thank you for everything, Anthony!

The first time I had my phone conversation with Anthony I knew we were just going to click. Anthony did my videography for my October wedding in Sanibel, Fl. He captured amazing scenes and the beauty of the island. Anthony put so much thought into my wedding trailer. I love his technique, skill, and cinematographic touch but what I love the most was his charismatic and fun personality. He got along with everyone and was so, so easy to work with and understand what I wanted to highlight for my wedding day. Until this day, my family and friends think he is wonderful and are so happy he was on my team. Thank you again, Anthony. I will always think of you when I watch my lovely wedding videos.

Anthony was very helpful, energetic and friendly. I’m so glad that we chose Contessa Films to work with, everything went well from the beginning till the end, he made sure everything was easy going and there wasn't any problems! The entire experience and ease of everything made an already stressful event for planning that much easier! My husband and I are so thankful for the priceless video that anthony had created for us. He captured our special day in a way that we never could have imagined. We are very pleased with the outcome. If you are thinking about booking Contessa films for your wedding, DO IT! We highly recommend Contessa Films to anyone!

Anthony with Contessa Films exceeded all of our expectations! We met Anthony at a bridal show and knew immediately that we wanted him to capture our wedding day. He has such a passion for what he does and it clearly is represented through his work. The quality of his videos and attention to detail are seriously unsurpassed. It was important to my now husband and I to have more video coverage over having a million still shot photos taken and we are just blown away with both our wedding trailer and full length wedding film. I 100% recommend allowing Contessa Films to capture your special day! From small details to drone coverage, we can now relive our special day over and over again experiencing all the same feelings we had that day.

Anthony thank you so much for being part of our wedding! You made me feel so comfortable although typically I am shy, the footage you captured replicates everything I feel and wanted to remember about my most special day! Ladies and gentlemen there is no better videographer (& person in general) out there, anthony is like 3 people in one I don't know how he does it but you will only know what I am talking about if you are lucky enough to have him at your wedding!!

Anthony runs a very professional operation....he is punctual and organized, uses state of the art eqipment including drones and a variety of cameras. He has a keen eye for the right shots and captured the entire spirit of the event at a competitive price on video that we will treasure forever!

When looking for a photographer and videographer I was getting doubtful, especially when seeing the prices for certain vendors. I came across Contessa and thought it was too good to be true, with the price and the quality of their pictures/films. I took a chance and I am so happy that I did they were the best vendor we booked for our wedding! Anthony and his team were amazing! He really captured every moment that I wanted and more! He was so easy to work with and even though our wedding got hectic he managed to make sure I got all my photos and not worry about the time. I booked for a certain amount of time but my wedding and reception all became longer than expected and Anthony did not say anything he did my entire wedding+reception. It was really amazing how thoughtful him and his team were. We had enough to worry about with other parts of our wedding going wrong and they really stepped up and made sure we had an amazing day! Anthony and his team became a real contributor to our wedding going so well since they also help guide many of our guest and bridal party when the time came to get to wedding venue and then going to the reception hall, something I did not expect the photographer/videographer to do! Also our wedding video and trailer was beautiful, Anthony really works with you hand and hand even after the wedding to make sure everything is what you want! I am so happy with Contessa films, I recommend that everyone book them!

Contessa Films is amazing! My husband and I would recommend Anthony to anyone! We booked last minute and he was so kind and even offered us a great deal. During the wedding he was smiling and energetic while I, the bride, was nervous and discouraged because the music had abruptly stopped as I was walking down the aisle of our beach wedding. I was trying so hard not to let it affect the rest of the day. Of course seeing my husband's smiling face as I walked toward him helped keep me from crying but Anthony from Contessa Films was there filming the whole time. He was also smiling all evening and even helping our somewhat timid photographer with ideas for poses and shots which also helped us feel more comfortable on our special day. I'm so glad he was a huge part of our wedding. We got our trailer back first and we were both completely blown away when I watched it. He made the trailer so beautiful the edits fit perfectly with our first dance song. In the video, I was suprised to find he caught beautiful details in nature and the small details like decorations that I worked so hard on and thought no one would notice. I told him that the video was so well done that it seems to just completely make up for the fact that the music stopped as I was walking down the aisle! We shared the video trailer with friends and family and even a co-worker who teared up when he saw the trailer. A week later we got the full video with color correction and background music. He did such a wonderful job! He not only is really great at what he does but he also was an amazing person to have be part of the wedding. He was even memorable to our guests. We are so bless to have found such a quality videographer last minute. Please go to his website and check out some of the video trailers and I'm sure you'll be impressed as well.

My husband insisted on hiring a videographer. We were browsing through vendors on the knot when we stumbled upon Contessa Films. We both admired the style and detail of the teaser videos. We got married 3 months ago. Anthony was truly a pleasure to work with. He surpassed all of our expectations. Not only did he creatively capture our big day and every detail possible. But he was like one of the family... He made sure to get shots he knew we wanted. We hardly knew he was there during our celebration. Trust me ... you put so much thought into your wedding day. Why not invest in a time capsule that will bring back all of your emotions from that moment. A treasure you will share with your children and grandchildren. Contessa Films certainly treats you like royalty! Customer service is superb! I can't stop watching our wedding video over and over, it's a genuine representation of our magical day.

Anthony is great!! He makes you feel so comfortable like he is family! From the first time you speak with him you can tell he loves what he does and his passion shows in his work. We just received our video and it’s amazing! He responds very quickly to emails and was very accommodating to all our requests. Thank you!

Anthony is not only an expert at what he does but he has an amazing personality. From the moment you meet him you feel so comfortable, like you’ve known him forever. He was amazing at returning emails and answering questions. Our trailer and video came out better than we ever imagined. I loved it more than my photos. We have relived our special day again and again thanks to Anthony. We are so glad we found him!

Absolutely love our wedding video that Anthony captured of our special day! he got everything we wanted and more. I can't stop watching our wedding trailer, it's honestly so beautiful. He did such an amazing job. I would highly recommend him! we are so happy that we booked him as our videographer. Thank you so much again Anthony!

Contessa Films was amazing to work with. We got our wedding pictures and video done with them, and I couldn't be happier. Both came out amazing! Also great pricing and quality. Would highly recommend them to anyone.

Anthony was a truly incredible guy to work with! His price is affordable and he was so much fun to work with. My new husband and I enjoyed working with him. He made the videos even better than what we could have dreamed of! Truly a talented man who you should have with you on your important day! Those moments are so important to capture and he did it very very very well.

Anthony was absolutely amazing! He is beyond talented and we loved working with him! Anthony was very professional but also did a great job of fitting in with our group for the day! He had great ideas and we especially loved the drone that he used! We recently received our full wedding video and he captured everything! We laughed, cried, and smiled while watching the video. i would recommend Anthony to anyone as he helped make our entire wedding day perfect!

Anthony was truly amazing and has extraordinary talent in what he does! After hating my photography pictures (completely different vendor) he went above and beyond and out of his way to do screenshot from the footage he got for us of the special moments that were missed. We cannot be anymore greatful for his hard work when videoing our wedding day! He did not miss a thing! Thank you so much again Anthony! Your amazing!

I actually booked Anthony through another company, I didn't realize they were third party when it came to videography and would outsource. The original company tried to short sell me on what was promised, and Anthony made sure to fulfill the promised time even though they did not book him for the time they promised me. He used his spare time to make sure he got every aspect of my wedding the way that I wanted, and was constantly right in the action to catch the priceless moments. I haven't seen my edited videos yet but I'm sure they'll be amazing!
