It's been almost a full year and I can say I am finally back on track ready to talk about what a…read morestressful (but beautiful) time in my life. One person that made my life easier during this time was Paul from Orange Candy. He met us at our venue, not once but twice in advance to discuss shots. He was open to my suggestions and responded to my constant emails about shots I saw on Pinterest and wanted to emulate. Day of the wedding he was super professional, showing up to my hotel room early and relaxing me with his joking nature and calmness. He took beautiful shots of me getting ready which I will treasure forever. Since we did not see the need for a limo to go 30 blocks from the hotel to the venue, Paul drove me to my wedding! What more can you ask for in a wedding photographer?! During the wedding he let me be the boss and was hands-off and let me tell him what I wanted pictures of (lots of dancing and partying). After the wedding he delivered exactly what he promised, images of my wedding edited and burned onto DVD's in a timely fashion. If I had to do it all over again there are some things I would change (my florist and event planner) but my photographer would definitely be Paul!!!

I called several photographers in the Miami area and Paul was the one who immediately returned my…read morecall. Paul was very accommodating of my requirements and addition to be being professional.

He scheduled calls to answer any questions we had and to go over any pertinent details. This made us feel at ease and comfortable in choosing Gamut Cinematography, as we could tell they would make our wedding a priority. Fast forward to our big day, German and his assistant arrived timely at our getting ready location. Despite the tight/minimal spaces, we were astonished with the footage they were able to get on camera. We were overly impressed with their attention to detail, ideas brought to the table and overall execution. During our ceremony and reception, there was not one moment missed! They worked so well with our photography crew and it felt like the day ran like a well oiled machine. We received our wedding highlight teaser today and WOW! they exceeded our expectations! I never thought watching a 50 second clip would feel like we were reliving our day. I probably had it on repeat for an hour straight and got emotional watching the video each time. Absolutely beautiful work and we are excited to see the final video! Thank you German and team for making our wedding experience so special.

I don't have enough wonderful words to describe Ivan. We were introduced to Ivan through our…read morewedding planner, Melissa Caceres of Events on a Budget (http://www.eventsonabudget.com). We first met him a few months after we got engaged for a complimentary engagement session (http://apfelphoto.com/2010/08/01/ashely-alexs-engagement-session/), which was so much fun. He quickly realized my fiance and I weren't the best posers, so he ended up taking great shots of the two of us just having fun and laughing, which is what we do best. :) And our wedding photos... I can't stop looking at them. They're beautiful. He captured every moment as I remembered it and I'm especially impressed by the moments that he captured that I don't even remember because I was either too nervous, trying not to cry or having too much fun. I knew he was there snapping pictures, but at the same time I didn't notice he was there. My husbnd and I were able to have the time of our lives without feeling like our photographer was in the way. I love his work so much I've even promised to see if I can pull some strings and get him to come to Colombia with us whenever we plan our second wedding (my husband's family is in Colombia and couldn't make it to the U.S.). Ivan - THANK YOU for capturing these memories for us.
