Godfred is amazing !! I can’t stop raving about him because we truly had a wonderful experience with him. Not only was he able to accommodate my needs in such a short term notice , but he was super patient and understanding throughout the whole process . I felt blessed to have found Godfred (Gordino Photo and Video) on such a short period of time . I literally booked him a few weeks before my wedding day and I Godfred helped me with everything . Not only did he agree to change my bonus to an engagement photo session prior to the wedding day , but he also worked with me in terms of my timeline and changes of a typical wedding day schedule . I thank God so much for Godfred because I probably wouldn’t have any wonderful memories of such a special day if it hadn’t been for him . Thank you again Godfred for ALL your help every step of the way and always keeping that smile on . My photos reflect all my joy and happiness before and during the wedding . May God bless you abundantly . I highly recommend anyone looking for a true photographer who cares for his clients and is willing to listen to you and help you throughout the whole process .

I became indulged in the story-telling of my wedding couples. Being surrounded by the excitement, sometimes nervous couples, and their loving families and friends made the filming such a rush. Then to have the honor to edit a film where their personalities and love shine through is the greatest privilege. I want to take them on a journey back in time to the most epic day where they laugh and cry with all their family and friends. I make films that last the ages. I love to think about how my couples might show their kids or even grandkids someday.

Hey guys, we are a collective that has come together to better serve our community. They say “if you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.” Benjamin and Kelsey met at a coffee house when Kelsey was a cute girl with a camera in hand. Needless to say, they discovered that they had a mutual passion for more than just photography. We are chasers of our next adventure. Whether that be on a windy mountaintop, or in a deep valley for intimate quite moments. We are obsessed with capturing images of our couples that truly resonate with them.

If you are of the opinion that the photographer is one of the most important roles in your wedding, you are looking in the right place. Ben of Boxcar was exactly what I wanted in a photographer: easy to work with, flexible, personable, adventurous, respectful, responsive, passionate and generous. In addition to being an all-around great guy, Ben also knows how to use a camera. I'm not sure I am qualified to try and classify his style, but I would say it has a certain photo-journalist quality to it. A quality that conveys realism, but is also very artistic. Long and short of it is, I highly recommend this guy. You will not be disappointed.
