Serves Santa Barbara, CA

I'm a Brazilian photographer and filmmaker based in Los Angeles, specializing in multicultural weddings since 2018. I've photographed couples from over 40 countries, blending traditions from Mexico to Morocco, India to Ireland, Japan to Brazil. My style is vibrant, natural, and true to life—focused on authentic emotion and joyful moments.

“Discovery & Initial Communication I learned about Gui’s services through word of mouth. A friend highly recommended him after hiring him for her son’s birthday party. Based on her glowing review, I decided to hire him for my very intimate civil ceremony. My main goal was to have the event beautifully documented so we could share the final video with family and close friends. From the very start, communication with Gui was seamless. He was responsive, efficient, and incredibly patient when addressing my detailed inquiries. One aspect I truly appreciated was his initiative to schedule a pre-event video call. This gave him the opportunity to get to know us, understand our personalities, and discuss our expectations for the shoot. His willingness to listen and incorporate our ideas made the entire process feel collaborative and personal. Planning & Preparation One of the reasons I chose Gui was his ability to include a highlight reel in the video package—something I really wanted. During our meeting, he welcomed my ideas and suggestions for the final video, showing a genuine interest in delivering a product that reflected our vision. Gui’s level of preparation was impressive. He took the time to scout the courthouse and a nearby park beforehand, ensuring we had the best possible locations for our shoot. His preparedness and attention to detail gave me peace of mind leading up to the event. The Day of the Ceremony On the day of our civil ceremony, everything went smoothly. Gui greeted us warmly at the courthouse, immediately setting a positive and reassuring tone. His calm and easygoing demeanor helped ease my nerves—something I truly appreciated amidst the mix of adrenaline and excitement of the day. He captured moments effortlessly, allowing us to be present and enjoy our special day without feeling overly directed or staged. Final Thoughts & Recommendation Overall, I couldn’t be happier with Gui’s work. His professionalism, creativity, and dedication to capturing our special day exceeded my expectations. If you’re looking for a videographer who is not only talented but also personable and well-prepared, I highly recommend Gui. 10/10 – Would definitely hire him again!”

When your veil flies in your face, when you wipe your tears on your sleeve, when you dance until you can't breathe, that's where we thrive.

“We cannot recommend KURO Creative House enough. This review is long overdue but we couldn’t be happier with our wedding video and our experience working with them (formerly Hereafter Films). When we were deciding if we wanted a wedding video, we initially came to the decision that they were all a bit too cheesy or formulaic for our tastes. We consider ourselves sentimental but not sappy, and weren’t about to book a cinematic-style videographer since we didn’t care to have a faux movie trailer. We actually didn’t find any other videographers that resonated with us, even briefly looking outside of Texas, so we were planning to forgo video since we didn’t want to spend money on a product we weren’t excited about. Then we found KURO Creative House. Like others, we initially considered videography an “extra” when making our budget, but once we saw their work, we knew we had to prioritize it, if we were lucky enough for them to be available for our date. I never loved that seemingly all wedding vendors use the term “investment” in lieu of “pricing” on their materials, but the term is befitting of their work. It truly was one of the best investments we made for our wedding, and we absolutely adore and cherish our video. (Just a note that photography wasn’t an offering at the time we booked, but they have photo/video packages now!) Aside from their incredible work, which speaks for itself, one thing we were drawn to when reading about their shooting style was their use of the phrase “90% fly on the wall” — and they really were just that. I’ve been to several weddings since ours and it made me realize how much I hardly remember seeing Ryan & Sharayah the whole day?! As introverts, their noninvasive style and their chill, calming presence was key for us being able to feel relaxed enough to enjoy our day. If you’re on the fence, book them while your date is still available! Go check out their work on their Vimeo (linked in the footer of their website) and see for yourself. But get the tissue box ready, because all of their films are so touching and authentic and completely unique.”

The cinematography is insane: she films so beautifully and candidly, and her attention to details is unparalleled. Through her art and vision, she was able to translate this day which needless to say, went by overwhelmingly fast, into such a beautiful beautiful endless everlasting memory that we can now forever replay. We ABSOLUTELY ADOREDDDD the teaser, the short wedding film and the feature film. We shared it with our entire families and friends and they are completely in love. The short wedding film is on constant repeat. We could not thank her and recommend her enough for her incredible work and talent.”
