Wedding Films for the Bold, the Artful, and the Wildly in Love.
We believe wedding films should feel as alive as the people in them. Sometimes cinematic and soulful. Sometimes playful and wonderfully chaotic. Always honest, artful, and unmistakably you.
Hi there! We're Rafael & Pauahi, a husband+wife filmmaking duo. We're storytellers at heart, drawn to the wildly joyful, deeply emotional, and beautifully unscripted moments that make every love story unique. With over a decade of experience & 100s of couples served, we create wedding films that feel as unforgettable as the day itself.

FEATURED WEDDING FILMS
MALLORY & McLEAN
A sun-drenched winery wedding in the heart of Santa Ynez Valley, overflowing with style, elegance, and main character energy from every angle. With beautifully refined design and a crowd that brought effortless cool, this film captured the kind of wedding day that feels cinematic from start to finish, and went on to become a Film of the Year finalist at the Wedding Film Awards.
⚲ SUNSTONE WINERY, CA
SHELISE & JONATHAN
Shelise and Jonathan had such vision and creativity which they poured into every detail of their wedding day. From producing their own proposal short film, which premiered at the Hollywood Theater as the prelude to the ceremony, to styling the entire celebration with a stunning 1920s flair, the day felt like stepping into another era. A wildly creative, transcendent celebration that went on to become a Themed Wedding finalist at the Wedding Film Awards.

Why AMORA?
More than beautiful films. An experience to match.
-
Five-time nationally awarded and featured in Vogue, BRIDES, People, LoveStoriesTV, and more. With over a decade behind the camera, we've earned recognition for films that feel as unique as the people in them.
But accolades have never been the end goal. We believe extraordinary filmmaking isn't about following a formula or chasing trends. It's about finding the magic in your story and creating something that could only belong to you.
-
We're here for ALL of it. The happy tears, the belly laughs, the nervous anticipation, the champagne-fueled dance floors, and the wonderfully unpredictable moments in between.
Some weddings are deeply sentimental. Others are one big, unforgettable party. Most are a beautiful mix of both. Whatever your day feels like, we're there to embrace its energy, not force it into a certain mood. Your wedding film should feel just as alive, layered, and wonderfully human as the day itself.
-
We've been telling love stories since 2016, documenting everything from intimate elopements to elaborate, multi-day celebrations.
After hundreds of weddings, we've learned when to anticipate a moment, when to step in, and when to simply let life unfold. We know how to navigate the unexpected, work seamlessly alongside your vendor team, and stay one step ahead without getting in the way.
That experience means you can be fully present, knowing the moments that matter are in good hands.
-
Beautiful imagery is just the beginning.
We believe exceptional wedding filmmaking should come with an equally exceptional experience. That means thoughtful communication, intentional planning, professional production, and a genuine investment in the people and stories we're entrusted to document.
From our first conversation to the moment you press play on your finished film, we're committed to making the entire experience feel effortless, personal, and worth every bit of your trust.
-
From sun-soaked celebrations in Mexico to intimate elopements in faraway places, destination weddings have a special place in our hearts.
As a husband-and-wife team with a shared love for travel and adventure, we're no strangers to working away from home. We understand the logistics, the moving parts, and the importance of arriving early, prepared, adaptable, and ready for anything.
And because we believe planning a destination wedding should be exciting, not stressful, our quotes are always all-inclusive, with zero added or surprise travel fees. What you see is what you pay.
Whether you're celebrating across the country or across the border, we bring the same level of care, creativity, and professionalism wherever your story takes us. You focus on soaking it all in.
We'll take care of telling the story.
