Lead Cinematographer - Augusto Lopez
When we are young, we have exciting ideas of what we want to do with our lives but as age sets in those wild dreamy notions begin to seem “far-fetched”.
I went from a child that made all his toys come alive through elaborate action scenes to a teenager always experimenting with his dad’s camcorder to an adult with a 9 to 5 and no outlet for my creative juices…then it happened, my cubicle existence was cooked.
I bit the bullet and dived headfirst back into the creative realm. In the course of 2 months, I abandoned the safe confines of a familiar cubicle and a steady paycheck and moved my ass to NYC. It began with photography but quickly evolved into filmmaking. I made time to return to school full-time to focus on the technical aspect of cinematography. My time at SF State taught me a lot about the craft and helped me realize that there’s nothing better than real world experience.
In regards to my name, you can call me Gusto. My full name is Augusto and no, I was not born in August and yes, Mucho Gusto to you too.
On your wedding day, I do not concern myself with “directing” you but instead work in a stealthy manner so that what I capture are moments in their most natural form. Love isn’t planned, it just happens. In a way, that’s how documenting a wedding should be too.
My goal is to capture all of the raw emotions that take place on a wedding day. Tears of joy and endless smiles are inevitable and that’s what we love to capture.
We are here to document one of the most memorable days of your lives.
