HIRE THEM! Ellyce Wedding Films knocked it out of the park. Fernando was so wonderful to work with. He is such a warm person and very calm. It was like having an old friend filming for the day. I was actually on the fence about hiring a videographer at all. If that is you, DO IT! You will not regret the money spent. I did not cry when I got engaged or when I walked down the aisle to exchange vows with the love of my life. But, let me tell you, when I saw the masterpiece that Fernando and his team put together….I wept! (Pretty sure I saw a tear trickle down my husbands cheek as well). They so beautifully captured the emotion of the day that I hadn’t really noticed with all of the hustle and bustle at the time. Small glances between my husband and I, stolen kisses, and the audio and music was incredible . They had full creative license and I can’t fathom anything more perfect than what they put together. I was truly blown away! Thank you so much Ellyce Wedding Films, for ensuring my wedding day can be treasured forever.

Lead Cinematographer & Founder

I have spent my whole adult life capturing love on film. On the weekends, through Ellyce Wedding Films, I film couples making a commitment to persevere and find joy together. During the week, through Social Impact Films, I uncover the acts of love performed by community organizations in order to reshape the conversation about the greatest challenges of our times. I do this because I believe in love. Because after all, love inspires. Love changes everything.

We were unsure whether we wanted a videographer at our wedding, but knew we wanted footage of the actual ceremony. We loved that ceremony footage was included in Fernando’s package...

s (along with the trailer and highlight video), and were sold once we talked to Fernando and learned about all of his experience in this industry. We’re so happy we went with Fernando and love all three of our videos! He was fantastic to work with throughout the entire process, and I’ve already recommended him to friends.

aft. Throughout the process, Fernando has always been easily accessible and willing to answer any questions or concerns of my wife or myself. Fernando’s knowledge of photography and videography impressed me when we met with the photographers to take pictures on our wedding day. Fernando gave suggestions to the photographers on what areas and angles were best to capture the best pictures that reflected our wants. Fernando created a three minute video, which captured all the highlights of our wedding day and paired it to music creating a wonderful video that we were able to email or text to our friends and family. People really enjoyed the short video and commented on how professional it looked and how they enjoyed watching it. In addition, Fernando created a full length video for us that allowed us to reminisce and watch our special day that was excellent quality. In conclusion, I fully recommend Fernando Avila to anyone who wants high quality video and professionalism that captures all the highlights and memorable moments of a wedding!
