Fede is the BEST! My husband and I searched high and low for a videographer. We wanted someone who could capture our essence in an authentic and playful way, and Fede more than delivered.
From our very first conversation, the entire process was seamless. Fede has such a calm presence and an incredible artistic eye. Getting to experience our day through his lens was truly the greatest gift.
We just received our recap video and I’ve watched it no less than 10 times. It feels like the perfect capture of our day. While I may be biased, every friend and family member I’ve shared it with has been absolutely blown away by the artistry and heart behind it.
Fede truly felt like an integral part of our day. His genuine excitement on our wedding day filled our hearts with so much love and appreciation.
If you’re looking for a videographer, seriously don’t look any further. Fede is your person.
Thank you, Fede. You’re the best!

We had a fantastic experience with Gran Torino Productions. The whole process from the beginning until the end was smooth. They were punctual and made the process of capturing video shots seamless. They were always in communication with us before and after our wedding. Alfy’s professionalism and expertise in handling the shots were outstanding. Federico’s excellent communication ensured that everything was taken care of, allowing us to simply show up and enjoy our moment. The final product exceeded our expectations, giving us a memory to cherish for a lifetime. I highly recommend Gran Torino Productions for your wedding or next event.

I had the pleasure to work with Federico last month for my wedding reception. From the initial phone call to the end of our reception, Federico showed professionalism throughout an...
d puts great emphasis on his work. He arrived slightly earlier than the agreed time to ensure his set up is in-place prior to event start. His vision on capturing key moments during the video recording sessions were fantastic and it's reflected perfectly on the final video products. Federico was receptive to my suggestions regarding the video editing/processing/music. The final products (We got the highlight + extended version package) came out very cinematic and had captured the emotions portrayed on film. Overall, Federico and his team are worth it and they will make sure to take care of what you want captured in addition to what they think is best for the final production presentation.

r. I would say that the fact that Federico and his team also covered the specialized drone footage as well as the event video made our wedding video the most unique and special that I’ve seen among all of my peers!

They were also a delight to have by our sides on the special days of our life and I cannot recommend him enough!
