We were very selective with choosing our videographer to match the vision that we shared for our wedding video. Puremotion's style suited our taste perfectly and did not disappoint...
. What we liked the most is that their approach is very unique, decadent, and genuine just as they are. The videos are now a living memory that we'll be able to revisit for years to come. We can't thank them enough for bringing our big day to life. Thank you, Max and Daniela!
All I can say is WOW. From the moment we began communicating with Daniela and Max we knew we picked the right videoagraphers. They were not only easy to work with and incredibly ta...
lented, they truly cared about us as a couple. Their work captured who we are incredibly and we are so lucky we have such amazing videos to look back on to remember our special day. We can't reccomend Max, Daniela and Puremotion Cinema enough!!
Daniela and Max are two genuine people with an incredible talent. They filmed our wedding day on 8/9/25 and we, along with our family and friends, cannot say enough great things ab...
out them. They took time to get to really know us as a couple before hand. On the wedding day, their presence was calm, kind and they blended in seamlessly. That being said, their cues and guidance throughout the day were very helpful and made for some great shots. They captured the emotion of the day in the most beautiful way and we are so thankful to them. We would book them a million times over and will be recommending them to all our family and friends! - Ciara and Cody
I can’t say enough wonderful things about our experience with Daniela, Max, and Anthony. They are true artists in every sense, and their talent shines through in every second of fo...
otage. We watched so many of their past videos before booking them, and each one felt better than the last—yet they still managed to blow us away with what they created for our wedding. Every frame, every transition, every piece of audio—it all came together to perfectly capture the emotion of the day. The deep love between my husband and me, the joy and support of our families, and the incredible party we threw—they somehow managed to bottle all of that magic and turn it into videos we can’t stop watching. Our friends and family haven’t stopped talking about them either!
On top of their STUNNING work and incredible professionalism, Daniela, Max and Anthony are truly wonderful people. From the very first meeting, it was clear that they weren’t just there to film our wedding—they genuinely wanted to get to know us as a couple. They were kind, thoughtful, and truly invested in capturing our story in the most authentic way possible.
One of the many wonderful stories I have of them throughout the process and on the day was when my husband realized he forgot a tie clip. Without hesitation, Anthony took off his own and gave it to him. It was such a small gesture on the surface, but it meant so much and perfectly captured the kind of people they are—caring, generous, and completely in the moment with you.
I cannot recommend them enough. Their work is unmatched, and we will treasure our wedding video and the experience of working with them—forever.
Max and Daniela are truly something special. They are an incredible team, and we loved working with them every step of the way! Their calming presence and genuine energy made the e...
ntire process so enjoyable, and their love for what they do shines through in every detail.
From the very beginning, Max and Daniela were there to guide us, offer support, and make the journey of planning our wedding seamless. They have an extraordinary eye for capturing the details and emotions of the day, allowing us to relive the most special moments in a way that we’ll treasure forever.
The work they delivered was nothing short of incredible. The highlight video they created is absolutely stunning—it perfectly encapsulates the joy, love, and magic of our day. Watching our video brings all the emotions of our wedding back to life in the most beautiful way. They perfectly preserved one of the most important days of our lives.
Max and Daniela are not only incredibly talented but also an absolute joy to work with. We feel so lucky to have had them as part of our wedding day. We can’t thank them enough for creating something so timeless and meaningful!
We found deciding on a videographer challenging because we weren't exactly what we wanted in terms of style. Daniela & Max were recommended to us and we are so glad they were. They...
are two of the kindest and creative people we've met. We were nervous about being in front of a camera all day, but knew we wanted videographers. Their style just put us at ease all day. They were there, but not at all in a way that felt intrusive or overwhelming. Some of what they asked us to do felt a little "silly" in the moment, but we're so glad we trusted them. The videos are just stunning. They captured the day in such a beautiful way and some of those "silly" directions resulted in these beautiful moments in their videos. They worked so well with our photographer. They were also able to work with our planner to stream the wedding for one of our dads who couldn't attend unexpectedly at the last minute. Their ability to connect the microphones in the ceremony to the stream so the ceremony could be watched is something we'll always be eternally grateful for. As we spent time with them through the day they quickly felt like more friends that were celebrating with us. We're very grateful they captured our day and would highly recommend them.
Daniela and Max were a pleasure to work with for our July 2024 wedding! Leading up to the wedding, they made a huge effort to get to know us so that they could create wedding conte...
nt that represented us as a couple. They have an impressive attention to detail and they were super responsive via email throughout the planning process. Daniela and Max were such a calm and kind presence on the day of the wedding and I could relax knowing that they were there to capture all of the memories. We love our wedding films so much and will cherish them for years to come. You will be so happy with your decision to book Puremotion Cinema for your special day!
Daniela and Max were so incredible and we are so grateful we hired them to capture our wedding day. They value personalization and met with us a few times before our wedding day to...
get to know us and who we are as a couple. It really meant a lot that it was important to them and showed in their work! The day of the wedding they went above and beyond for us, they truly were such a joy to work with. Our teaser video right after the wedding was so fun and exactly what we envisioned. Then we received our Highlight film several weeks later which we were completely blown away by. Our full footage of the big moments of the day we received shortly after and we loved all of it. We cannot recommend them more and are so grateful!
We found Daniela and Max through our photographer. Their work was so different than everything else out there. They were professional, quick to respond to our initial email and se...
t up a meeting to get to know us. We met with them a few weeks prior to our wedding to discuss final details & they listened to our ideas and give suggestions. On our wedding day, they made us feel so comfortable.
My husband and I just got our wedding video back with the highlight film, full ceremony, speeches and formal dances and we are blown away with how perfect everything came out. Our families and friends have commented how great our instagram reel and highlight film look. They definitely make you feel like you are movie stars. The music they chose for the highlight reel flows with all their footage. Book Daniela and Max and you will not be disappointed! 5 ⭐️
We can’t say enough about Daniela & Max! Every step of the process was easy, thorough, and they made us feel so comfortable. They were also very accommodating and flexible with sch...
eduling so our wedding planner could attend our detail meetings. Also, when we found out the location for our first-look wasn’t going to work and they helped us quickly plan an alternative location and helped coordinate the logistics so it wasn’t stressful for us at all. Everyone has been blown away with our teaser video - the quality of their work is unmatched! Daniela & Max are truly the best!
Max & Daniela were such an amazing team to work with from start to finish! From our initial meetings before our wedding day they took the time to make us feel comfortable and get t...
o know what was important to us as a couple -- they concentrated not only how we wanted our wedding day video to look but also how we wanted the day to FEEL which to us was so important and thoughtful. They spent time with us and our planner before and on the wedding day to review our timeline, planning details and made sure they knew exactly what we wanted highlighted in our video. On the day of the wedding they were phenomenal - they remembered details I had mentioned and then forgot in the business of the day and thanks to them they made sure we got them. They encouraged us to get out of our comfort zone and try things to fit different vibes discussed in our meetings (like getting drama shots in honor of our love for mob movies!) They worked seamlessly with our photographers team and executed the perfect balance of being front and center to capture everything but also blending into the background. So many of our family and guests commented that they barely noticed them moving about the crowd capturing all our special moments but when we did notice them, we were having fun! We felt so comfortable and supported by them, they fit right in with our crowd and we felt like they were friends! Absolutely loved working with them!
We love Max and Daniela!
I sat on countless phone calls with videographers and could not find the right fit, until I spoke with PureMotion!
Max and Daniela were so lovely, and re...
ally made me feel like they loved creating wedding videos. Their work speaks for itself. They truly take pride in their work and the couples they capture and we are so beyond blessed to have had them be apart of our day!
The communication was outstanding, and on the day of the wedding they were so easy going and wonderful to work with.
I highly recommend them to anyone that wants to relive the special memories of their day over and over again!
We can't say enough good things about Daniela and Max. From our first video meeting with them, to our big day, they did nothing but put us at ease and make us laugh and smile. They...
are so fun and easy to get along with, which goes a long way with the people behind the camera capturing your big wedding day moments. Their style is effortless and they do such a good job of capturing all the moments in a way where you almost don't even realize they are there, until you catch one of them giving you a big smile that just puts you at ease. Thank you, Daniela and Max, for all that you do!
Incredible experience working with Max, Daniela, and Yusey. They are truly experts at their craft! I would highly recommend utilizing their services. You will NOT be disappointed.
Puremotion Cinema far exceeded any of our expectations for videography and we are thrilled that they were able to catch these lifetime memories! Max, Daniela, and Yusey have such a...
fantastic way of positioning and guiding you to get the perfect shot without making things feel scripted at all! We were able to laugh along with them and felt so comfortable having them there to capture such special moments from our day. They not only captured those special moments, but so clearly painted the story of our love and our personalities in what they put together for us. They are experts at what they do and they work with such excellence! We cannot thank them enough.
Could not be more happy with Puremotion Cinema, Daniela and Max! They bring a personal touch to approach and we truly felt we were part of their family. Their expertise throughou...
t the whole process, in additional to the most beautiful wedding videos, we could not be more happy. Thank you again!!! Mary Beth and Nick
There were many lovely aspects about working with Max and Daniela— I echo all the comments from other brides about their professionalism, attention to detail and enthusiasm.
I’l...
l highlight some additional reasons we enjoyed working with them:
-You’ll see this if you watch more than two videos of theirs, but they take a more individualized approach than what one typically sees. They listen to your story and will bring it to life. We loved how they emphasized our Mass and also played up our a salsa band, which was a more unique detail of ours.
-They ask about details that are important to you as well as things that you don’t want, from your favorite type of music, to avoiding anything you don’t want (for us, it was avoiding a heavy ‘getting ready’ portion)
-We started out with the basic package, but had the option to upgrade after our wedding. Max and Daniela filmed our entire Mass, first dances and speeches in their entirety. Some of those moments were more powerful than we could have predicted, and since it was already captured, all we had to do was an additional payment (which helped to handle when the wedding was over). Four months later we know it was worth it, and can only imagine how we’ll feel in a few decades.
-Don’t shortchange the fact that you are getting two videographers when you choose to work with them — in addition to that yielding a high production value (again, why their videos are better than others) my husband and I were getting ready in different locations and they were able to handle easily.
-There were a few shots I asked to be tweaked, and they were gracious and accommodating.
They were our easiest vendor to work with— they didn’t require tons of calls and direction. Their chill vibe in a wild industry and stressful year was appreciated. They are great people — the day of the wedding I was genuinely happy to have them there and they did not stress us out. Months after the wedding they bumped into my husband’s 84 year old abuela and they remembered her and took time to chat with her in Spanish :)
Max and Daniela were truly a dream to work with and the video they made for us exceeded all of our expectations. For a while, my husband and I couldn't decide if we were going to h...
ave a videographer at our wedding (mainly due to our budget), but getting Puremotion was the best decision we could have made. Max and Daniela were incredibly warm every time we spoke to them, and they were extremely patient with us.
We wanted a particular type of video that highlighted specific things that mattered to us and wasn't just a typical sappy wedding video, and boy did we get just that. The instagram reel that they created alone was AMAZING - they included one of our favorite songs and captured the best moments from our wedding. I'm not even sure where to begin regarding our highlight video, I still cry every time I see it. It truly captured who we are as a couple and the type of people we surround ourselves with. I even had family members who don't typically get emotional tell me that they were tearing up while watching it! Everyone told us it was one of the best videos they have ever seen, and I had future brides messaging me asking for details about Puremotion! The video is beautiful and I am so thankful that Daniela and Max were there to capture our day. It was also so nice to see how much they loved working on our video and how much time and thought they put into it. This wasn't just another job for them, they truly love what they do. On our wedding day they never interrupted us, or made us feel like they were in our way, they were patient, kind, loving and fun. A HUGE THANK YOU to you both!!!
When my husband and I were looking for our wedding videographer, there was something about Daniela and Max that we gravitated towards. As a husband and wife team, they did an impec...
cable job at being able to make us feel comfortable, and really get to know us before the wedding day. By doing so, they captured the most incredible moments throughout our magical day. On our wedding day, they worked so effortlessly together, and somehow gathered every detail in the most beautiful way. They gave 110% of themselves to us from the morning of getting ready, all the way to the very last moment when we had our grand exit with sparklers. The end result was pure magic. They captured the true essence, beauty and love of our day in a short film that we will treasure forever. It was an emotional moment watching our day on video, and seeing that what they captured, laid out our love on the screen in a "fairytale" way. Not only is their work incredible, but they also are incredible humans- so caring and attentive to you leading up to the day, the day of, and even after. We would highly recommend them again, and again!
Absolutely phenomenal wedding videographers! We hired PureMotion Cinema to capture our wedding day and it was the best decision we made. Max and Daniela are two of the most talente...
d individuals I’ve ever met and made our vision come to life. Our wedding video was incredible. I can’t say enough about them - highly recommend!!! Thank you Max and Daniela.
My Husband and I got married on September 30th at the Heritage in Southbury, CT and having Daniela and Max on board was one of the best decisions we ever made 💛 The moment we met ...
Daniela and Max, we knew we wanted them to record our day. The video is very important to us and we had spent a lot of time researching, but no one felt right. When we spoke to them, it just fit. We had so much to talk about and laughed together so much. Not only had we been moved by their work product, but we instantly connected with them as people. They are such an incredible and special couple and we just love them! On the big day, they made us feel so comfortable and calm. It felt like they were there with us and we knew they were going to capture the special moments in such an impactful way. Some of our requested moments were particularly emotional, and it felt amazing having them there with us. The preview they sent was already unbelievable, and we have no doubt that the video is going to be everything we dreamed 💛 There are so many videographers out there, but they don’t give the same attention and put the same cinematography into the work product that Daniela and Max do. We are so thankful to have met them and to now have them in our lives!
So we got our highlight video yesterday and I don’t get tired of watching it! We get to relive our day over and over again and I’m obsessed! Lol
Daniela & Max are so awesome to wo...
rk with, they are down to earth and really try to get to know you as a couple. The way this video was put together, from the transitions, to the drone shots, the various angles, was just perfect.
You never get to experience your wedding the way your guests do, so to be to able preserve the raw emotions of the day in this way it’s just incredible and worth every penny!
Daniela & Max, thank you again for capturing those special moments for us, & for creating a piece of art that will forever be a family heirloom. 💞 Looking forward to the rest of our wedding collection!
Daniela and Max are extremely talented and were absolutely wonderful to work with from beginning to the end of this entire process! Their talent and the quality of work they do is ...
top of the line. We were extremely impressed, happy and truly touched with the highlight video and Instagram reel that we were provided after the wedding. I tell my husband everytime I watch it that the video brings me right back to that day and I feel like I'm reliving it all over again. :) All of the intricacies, details and thought put into the videos were unbelievable. Beyond the fact that their work is exceptional, they are great human beings. They were so kind, organized and prepared from the beginning of the process moving all the way through to the day of the wedding. They took the time to get to know us,
what's important to us, our style and it showed in the videos that really resonated with us. They showed up well in advance on our wedding day and were there until the end. They were so kind and respectful. You would never even realize that they were there. I would recommend them a million times over again!
Daniela and Max were amazing to work with! They filmed our wedding day in June 2022 and did an awesome job. They made us feel so comfortable the entire day and worked with us close...
ly prior to and after the day. Everyone we've shown our teaser to is so impressed with the quality of video and cinematography. They are the best and it's definitely important to hire videographers that you know personally will be there that day - I wouldn't have wanted to hire a company that may change out who actually comes! Thank you Puremotion! We love you!
Booking Max & Daniela was hands down the BEST decision of our wedding planning! We cried and watched our highlight video at least 100 times when we first received it! The day was m...
agical but, it goes by SO fast! We were grateful that we hired Puremotion Cinema so we can relive the day over and over! They are extremely professional, friendly & their work makes you feel as if you are a star in a movie! The lighting, drone work and edits are out of this world. If you are thinking of hiring them, DO IT! You will not regret it!
Having Puremotion Cinema capture the most intimate moments of our special day was the best desicion we made! Daniela and Max are so talented at what they do and made us feel so com...
fortable throughout the day. Looking at our video was pure magic it was like watching our love story unfold in a movie, but through their lenses. This husband and wife team are great at what they do, initvative, profesional, respectful and and felt like family to be honest. If you haven't booked a videographer team look futhur because this is the team you want and need at your wedding!!!
My husband and I cannot rave about Max and Daniela enough! They were SO easy to work with, especially with not knowing exactly what we were looking to get out of a video. To say we...
are obsessed with our highlight video is an absolute understatement - we have watched it a million times! They captured all of the right moments - so much so we just had to purchase the raw footage too so we can see it all. We are on the edge of our seats waiting for our full video! 10000/10 would recommend them for any event!
Max & Daniela are simply amazing! If you’re on the fence about hiring an videographer – do it, and book Max and Daniela! They captured the true essence of our day so perfectly, rec...
ording all the amazing moments that we did not want to forget. They were so fun to work with on the day of our wedding and helped in more ways than we even imagined - my wedding dress had many buttons which we were struggling to get buttoned – and Daniela swooped in and buttoned them all in 5 seconds (it was amazing). We keep watching our wedding video over and over, and have received so many compliments from friends and family on the true emotion that Max and Daniela were able to capture. They’re the absolute best, and we could not be more grateful for them!!
Max and Daniella were absolutely amazing to work with. They are the kindest husband and wife duo, and are so awesome to work with on the day! We used them for both of our weddings ...
(one small one in 2020 and our large one in 2021). Our 2020 videos are so beautiful and make me tear up every time I watch them! We displayed our 2020 video on a tv during the reception of our 2021 wedding and our guests loved it!
During the day, they were respectful out of photographers to get their still shots, then would ask us to do something for the video. It was awesome to just look at Max and Daniella and know they were ready to go with what they wanted us to do! They are so creative and I can’t wait for what our videos look like this year!
From the first conversation me and my husband had with Max and Daniela, we had intuition that Puremotion Cinema was the right fit for us. Max and Daniela went out of their way to a...
ddress all of our questions. From meeting up with Max and Daniela in person to zoom conferencing, my husband and I felt comfortable and respected. Max and Daniela always brought a positive energy to our conversations during the planning phases of our wedding. They always listened to our visions of the wedding day we wanted and dreamed of and made those dreams possible. Witnessing the special couple that they are themselves working professionally together is amazing! I believe that is what sets them apart from other videographers. They capture love stories for a living and get to work with each other as husband and wife! My husband and I recommend Puremotion Cinema to all couples looking for high quality work that is motivated by a passion for love and work.
Max and Daniela are the absolute best!! Planning a wedding during a pandemic was not an easy task and required some creativity when choosing vendors (especially when we couldn’t me...
et any vendors in person). I spent hours searching through Instagram tags, reviews on The Knot and all over the place. PureMotion Cinema (formerly known as Motion Videography) caught my eye right from the start. Each video they had done was absolutely gorgeous, different from the last and you could feel the love between every couple we watched. We knew that we had to have them capture our wedding! Max and Daniela took the time to FaceTime/Zoom us on multiple occasions to talk about our vision, get to know us and really understand our story! They really care about their couples and capturing the importance of each unique love story. We’ve seen our teaser trailer so far and are blown away by it. We can’t wait to see the whole video! Thank you so so so much for capturing the BEST day of our lives!!
Max and Daniela were absolutely wonderful to work with. They’re very professional & I couldn’t have asked for such an amazing vendor.
Daniela and Max really captures every couple ...
as they are and really makes sure that their video encompasses all of that. They’re really fun to work with too!
Truly amazing work and I would highly recommend using them!
Daniela and Max are an amazing couple to work with! They truly love their job and do it well. They captured such beautiful moments that we hoped for and moments we missed, which we...
re so great to see. They were very quick with their responses and extremely fast with the delivery of the footage after the wedding. We highly recommend Motion Videography to anyone!
Max and Daniela are truly the KINDEST people around, and they make the most amazing wedding videos! Not only were they accommodating with our postponement due to COVID, but they ca...
me to our wedding 100% prepared and so enthusiastic about being there. They truly care about their clients and deliver a timeless product that is so tailored to each individual couple. Our package included a 1-minute social-media formatted video, a 5-6 minute highlight video and a FULL documentary style movie. I have watched them NUMEROUS times in the two months since our wedding day. Max and Daniela make you feel like family - and provide so much comfort and expertise at the same time. They are professional, fun and their videos will carry our wedding memories on forever! As so many other reviews have said before me - do yourself a favor, and book them!!
BOOK THEM BOOK THEM BOOK THEM!!!! I literally cannot say with words how happy I am with Motion Videography in a review, but I need try because if you’re reading this and you don’t ...
book Max and Daniela for your wedding, you are making a mistake! This couple is the nicest, most genuine pair I have ever met. I never imagined a vendor putting as much thought and care into my wedding as this couple did. MV was taking charge when they needed to get something specific for the video, but most of the day they captured soooo many amazing candid shots when we didn’t even realize they were there! Our photographer said they were so easy to work with, too. I truly enjoyed my wedding so much more because of Max and Daniela, thank you two so much for being a part of my day!
Motion Videography is incredible! I can not say enough good things about working with Max and Daniela AND the incredible videos we got. They were so responsive, knowledgeable, and ...
invested I didn’t need to worry about a thing! I watched so many highlight videos and was so scared to pick a company that couldn’t make that picture perfect fairytale dream video- well luckily I picked right!!! They went above and beyond to do whatever it took to get the best footage!! My husband was not on board with video- he thought it was a waste and we would have a video a couple hours long that we wouldn’t watch... well after the wedding he was so happy we decided to do it! (Enough to even convince his friend to do the same, also not easy) the highlight is unbelievable and the full video was edited so we can watch all of the pieces we love without sitting through pieces that we didn’t really want... I just love them and anyone not sure about video- if you get a good one it’s SOOOO worth it and motion videography will 10000% deliver something even better than you could imagine ❤️
We were absolutely blown away by their work. Our highlight video is superb and captures the best moments of our day. Both of them were so kind and respectful throughout the whole p...
rocess: I barely even noticed they were there most of the time!!! I can’t recommend them enough. Very talented and thoughtful!
Very professional and great value. We barely noticed they were there and are beyond excited to see the finished product. We highly recommend Motion.
