Describe your business in 1-3 short sentences.

Hydro Pictures is a modern style of wedding video. I specialize in creating a post-worthy film for you to share on social media. Your wedding video will look like a music video. It’s a fun way to see your special day.

Why do you want to work with APW couples?

I love to work with fun and interesting people who think outside the box. After a photographer friend suggested APW and the clients here are exactly the kind of people I would love to help. This a place for creatives to get away from the traditional marriage concepts and create beautiful ceremonies together. I love that and I cant wait to see what we come up with!

What is your artistic approach to weddings?

I like to think I’m not like other Videographers,  just there to quietly document your day from afar.

First I like to meet with every couple to get to know your personalities and feel out what you want your video to be.  Music is very important so I ask that you tell me the song/songs you want to use so I can feel the rhythm and conceptualize what shots can go with the lyrics and beats.  This way on the day of the wedding, I will know what the video will look like and the shots I need to get to make it all fit together. I look at each wedding as telling a story, based on my couple’s likes, I create their own personal work of art.

What are your non-work-related hobbies?

I’m very into an active lifestyle. Anything outdoors and adventurous is fun for me.  I love to exercise by running, biking, snowboarding, Jiu-Jitsu and I like to film it all. (I’m the guy you see with a Go-Pro on his head running around.)

When I’m not outdoors, I enjoy cooking and reading. I’m very into self-improvement and living a loving a peaceful lifestyle while at the same time continuing to work hard doing what I love, making a successful living for my family. And yes, I’m also the guy following his kids around the park with a video camera 🙂

What's your favorite book?

The Diving-Bell and the Butterfly (Jean-Dominique Bauby)

The Secret (Ronda Byrne)

One Hundred Years of Solitude (Gabriel Garcia Marquez)

What's your favorite movie?

Fools Gold lol, I like moves that take place in beautiful tropical beaches with crystal clear water.

If you could have a one minute dance party at your desk, what song would you pick?

Umm… Lady Gaga (Just Dance) of course.

Pros

Carlos is a true professional and his wedding films exude that in quality. He is pleasant, responsive, easy to work with, and makes your wedding day more enjoyable with his presence. We were beyond impressed with his film. The video truly captured each aspect of our day. We cannot say enough about working with Carlos. He traveled for our wedding, was timely, stayed until the very end, and responded to all emails and calls almost immediately. If you are looking for a quality video, look no further.

I decided to hire a videographer a month before my wedding. Carlos was amazing. We met with him prior to the wedding to discuss filming details. On the day of the wedding he was there when I got ready to the end of the wedding. I rec'd the video the following week while I was on my honeymoon!!!! The product was truly amazing!! He is a very talented man!!! I would highly recommend him...

Pros

Can't say enough great things about Carlos. Very professional, very talented, nice to work with and a true master at his craft!!! When I let my A/V Panasonic friends see the finished product their response was the same. "Wow... this person is a true professional!!!" Plus after getting the shots he needed he disappeared into the wedding and seemed to be everywhere, capture everything but totally invisible to us...LOL Hire him and you will have the wedding video of your dreams and it will make your friends jealous!!!

Pros

Carlos was absolutely amazing! He was incredibly attentive to make sure he got some amazing shots and was able to direct us with ease. Him on the photographers were able to work together and ensure each was able to get what they needed without stepping on each other's toes. He showed up when at the time he stated and was able to work around us being a bit delayed without issue. The video he created for us was perfect as well. Everyone that has seen it has only had great things to say. We HIGHLY recommend Carlos. Thank you for everything!

After seeing a friends wedding video, I had to ask who they used! They referred me to Carlos and since our first interaction, it has been nothing but a pleasure to work with him. He was right on the phone with me giving me a play by play of what his services include for the day of and beyond. On our wedding day, he made it so easy to have fun and worked GREAT with our other vendors to make sure everyone was getting enough time with us. He was so flexible and really listened to what we wanted. Our video is AMAZING and I absolutely love it. He matched up the flow perfectly with our song choice and captured the day so nicely. Book your video service with Carlos, you will not regret it!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!

Carlos was absolutely fantastic! He was responsive since day 1, spent time helping us pick the perfect music for our wedding video and was outstanding with us onsite. We received our video extremely fast and could not believe how well it captured the entire day. We are continuing to receive amazing feedback from friends and family and are amazed each time we watch it! We are SO happy we decided to go with a videographer and so pleased we were introduced to Carlos!

Pros

Shortly after I got engaged, Carlos asked me if I wanted an Engagement Video. I had never heard of one before, but knowing Carlos' style and quality of work I agreed and was excited. Leading up to the shoot, Carlos continually asked questions trying to get a feel of what type of video we wanted. I discussed it with my fiancé numerous times, and we finally decided to leave the whole thing up to Carlos. When we arrived at the location, Carlos was waiting and ready to go. It turned out to be a really fun time for all 3 of us. Carlos had plenty of ideas, asked all the right questions, and made us feel extremely comfortable; his direction was great. We ended the day with one on one interviews that fit perfectly throughout the video. After watching the finished product for the first time, my fiancé and I (all choked up) looked at each other and said, “We are playing this at the wedding!” We could not have been happier with the engagement video, and we now have something to play at the wedding; something I’ve never seen done before and something I’m sure everyone will talk about for a long time. Thanks Carlos!
