Several years ago, my friends got married and Hector filmed their wedding. At that moment, I fell in love with his work and decided I would hire him for my wedding someday. Fast forward a few years, I met Erich, and he proposed on March 19, 20...14. THAT SAME DAY, I contacted Hector for pricing and booking info. Having followed his work for a while, I knew I didn't have to look any further as far as quality and style. What I didn't know at that point was how helpful Hector would be throughout the entire wedding planning process. Having little-to-no help planning my wedding, he gladly and enthusiastically helped me navigate through the planning stages not only when it came to my day-of timeline, but also with vendor suggestions and other tips. He always promptly responded to any question I had via text or email, which I found to be immensely calming. We never met in person until the day of our wedding due to my busy schedule, but did have a FaceTime meeting and he clicked with my husband and me immediately. I really cannot express how amazing Hector and House of Films were. He not only served as the director of our video, but of our entire day, as he coordinated with my other vendors on his own. His team's experience, foresight and professionalism are beyond measure. They arrived early and ready to go despite the inclement weather and annoying parking. They were prepared for the expected and unexpected. We were tight on time since we didn't want to do a first look, but Hector knew exactly how to make use of every spare second including an impromptu detour after the ceremony that he had already discussed and planned with my photographers AND limo driver after the ceremony (I still don't know when/how he had the time to coordinate this). All my husband and I had to do was whatever Hector said. When we arrived at the location, Hector was already set up in the middle of the street with his equipment ready to go (again, I don't know how he did it so fast). One of the things that impressed me the most (which may seem minor to others) was Hector asking me during our meeting whether, when the time came for him to pack up and leave, if he should quietly exit or approach me in the event that I wanted to hire him for additional time. I opted for #2. When the time came for him to go, he advised me that he hadn't gotten any dancing footage which I had mentioned I was important to me. I thanked him and had him and his team stay. It's this kind of foresight, attention to detail, and communication that only comes from experience and, in my opinion, makes vendors stand out from the rest. Within a week, Hector posted our teaser online and, needless to say, Erich and I absolutely LOVED it, as did all of our friends and family. Less than 2 months after our wedding, we had our finished video in our hands. The video was EXACTLY as I imagined it would be, except SO much better! He managed to make a video that seamlessly and beautifully captured two extremes: the dignified and spiritual feeling of our Catholic ceremony (full mass with communion) and our wild and crazy reception (think Mexican wrestling masks and gigantic cardboard cut-outs of our heads). I'm not simply thankful to Hector and House of Films for their creativity and professionalism in creating an AMAZING video, but also for guiding us in coordinating what turned out to be the PERFECT wedding day. THANK YOU!
