We’re James and Austin, and we’re absolutely obsessed with telling love stories. But not just any love stories, yours. For us, wedding filmmaking isn’t just about capturing the big moments (though we love those too!). It’s about the small, quiet in-betweens, the nervous excitement before you walk down the aisle, the way your partner looks at you when they think no one’s watching, the laughter shared with loved ones. We pour our hearts into every wedding film, blending documentary-style storytelling with a cinematic touch to create something that feels real, raw, and timeless.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you Next Chapter Films! James and Austin captured the magic of our wedding day in a way that words can’t describe. Reliving those moments brings me to tears (happy ones!)—every laugh, every smile, and every special glance between us was beautifully remembered. You were so patient and warm, making us feel like we were just spending time with friends. It all felt so natural, and it shows in everything. The wedding film felt like a real-life fairytale, and we will cherish it forever. I’m so glad we trusted you with our memories. Truly the best decision we made for our wedding!

Every moment at your wedding day is a memory, and we are dedicated to preserving them in our films. From the butterflies of the first look, to the epic send-off into your honeymoon. We let the raw emotions tell the story. I Josue and my partner Gio are your filmmakers if you seek bold, authentic storytelling of your day.

Awarded Best of Zola
Truthfully in the beginning part of our wedding planning journey we were only looking for a photographer and weren't very interested in a wedding film, however after our first sit down with Josue and Gio we were sold! We instantly felt comfortable and felt that they really understood us as a couple so we moved forward. We didn't know what to expect from our wedding film but we felt total trust in Josue and it paid off. Some of my favorite footage is of my husband and I just talking to one another and it really is just some of the sweetest moments that we get to watch over and over (which we do). Our photos are absolutely beautiful. I had a really hard time describing what I wanted to see but Gio was able to translate my thoughts and produced the perfect photos. Josue and Gio were so easy to talk to and they made it feel like we were just hanging out with our friends. We've already recommended them to all of our friends and we will continue to do so.. and really we're just looking for any excuse to hang out with them again!

After 6+ years of shooting for other wedding businesses, working on commercial sets, taking courses on Color Grading theories, and stocking up on camera equipment, I decided it was time I took my skills to create unique, personalized, and inspiring wedding videos. We spend the time getting to know you, your story, your friends, and your family to build and create a unique story with your voices and vision at the forefront of ALL DECISIONS. We create films so that someday when you decide to rewatch, you'll feel connected to the moment again and hear and connect with the people that matter most to you.

Jose has demonstrated time and time again (or you can say wedding after wedding I’ve worked with his company) his professionalism and passion for his work. He is always in communication with his clients and goes above and beyond to make suggestions they didn’t think about to better improve their day as well as the service they receive. I have worked with many wedding vendors for over 60 weddings and I would definitely choose to work with Jose and his team again.

Freshly landed from Paris, France. Christophe has been a travel photographer for the past ten years and decided to expand his creative horizons toward white dresses and bow ties here in California. His European touch will definitely bring something special to your wedding day.

“She plans, He captures” really doesn’t do justice to this extraordinary dynamic duo. Our wedding was based in Julian, not at a venue but at a family home with very limited cell phone service. Despite all the possible limitations, these two got it together. Whether it was pre-wedding cocktail meetings at cool bars, endless rambling phone calls, to advocating on our behalf, Heather and Christophe made the wedding of our dreams a physical reality. Heather’s meticulous organization and detailed checklists ensured every aspect was perfect, while Christophe’s boundless enthusiasm and positive energy kept us excited throughout the planning of our wedding. What set them apart was their personal touch – the calming shoulder massages, the genuine concern for our well-being, and their unwavering support during stressful moments. They didn’t just plan and capture; they became an integral part of our wedding journey, making us feel like family. We do not doubt that the photos and videos they capture will be filled with the same passion and love they put into every moment of our special day. Heather and Christophe, you are not just wedding planners and photographers; you are artists, storytellers, and friends. Thank you for creating memories that will last a lifetime. Love always, A&B

While our goal is of course for you have have an incredible wedding film. That is second of course to ensuring you have an amazing wedding day experience. We want to make sure that when you think back to your wedding day that you think of memories of laughter and tears with family and friends, rather than us with our cameras in your face. This is why we prioritize candid, documentary-style filmmaking over forcing moments. We want you to live your story so we can tell it.

Like many couples, we initially weren't sure if we would have videography at our wedding purely because of cost. However, we ultimately decided to have it because we wanted to capture as many memories as we could from the day. We could not be happier that we decided to work with Altar and Aster!!! In researching our wedding, I watched a ton of films from different videography companies of varying price points, and Altar and Aster came up on top by far, not only in quality and content of their videos, but by value!

I started to explore the world of wedding filmmaking in high school - thanks to my dad. However, it didn’t become a passion until he gave me the task of editing one of his wedding films when I started college. I quickly fell in love with combining visuals, music, and dialogue to create a piece of art. By the grace of God, I managed to do this full-time since 2020 in the - midst of a pandemic! It is a miracle. My craft is constantly evolving. and I seek to grow my craft to please my couples and my own dreams as a filmmaker.

If we could give more than 5 stars, we would. Trevor went above and beyond as our wedding videographer. He was patient and kind, and very responsive throughout the entire planning process. On the day of the wedding, he was so fun and easy to work with. And once we got our films, we were blown away by how absolutely beautiful and perfect they were. I have watched them over and over again. Our family and friends have loved watching the films, too, and reliving our special day. We chose to go with the Highlight Film, Documentary Film, as well as Drone Footage, and would definitely recommend all of them. Our highlight film was so "us." Trevor captured the moments perfectly, put them together into the most beautiful film, and picked the perfect music to go along with it. Trevor's talent and passion for his work is amazing; we just cannot say enough good things about him. Hiring Trevor was by far one of the best decisions we made for our wedding, and we would HIGHLY recommend him for anyone looking for a wedding videographer. Thank you for capturing our special day, Trevor!

With a background in photography and graphic arts, the transition into film and video production was a natural one for us. We were drawn to wedding video in particular because of the unique opportunities and challenges of telling a couple’s story and capturing their personalities all in the span of one amazing day. There are few events that combine the disciplines of journalism, portraiture, cinematography, storytelling and live events like a wedding does. Oh.. and it also just makes people really happy to relive one of the biggest events of their lives and that’s makes us feel pretty good.

As a professional photographer, Shawn and his team of associates are a pleasure to work with. They are camera aware, don’t overly pose scenes, are extremely considerate about time, and are always very professional at the 20+ weddings and events we’ve worked together on. I can’t recommend this team enough!

Finding the right videographer was incredibly important to us because we wanted more than just photos. We wanted to capture the voices, the laughter, the tears, the movement—every emotion that made our day unforgettable. At first, we struggled to find a connection with the work we saw, but after months of searching online, we came across Alex V Films, and his work left a lasting impression on us. It was exactly what we had been searching for. From the moment we met Alex, his warm personality and passion for his craft put us completely at ease. He took the time to understand our vision, showing incredible attention to detail and truly listening to what we wanted. His talent for capturing not only the big moments but also those small, candid interactions brought everything to life in a way we could only dream of. Alex was able to beautifully weave our vows into the movement and storytelling of our film, bringing each word to life. In my vows, I shared a memory about my papa. As he approached his final days, I asked him, “Papa, what can you tell me about love?” He gently touched his chest and said, “You feel it in your heart.” Alex captured this moment with such care; as I spoke the words, “my papa touched his chest,” the video transitioned to my wife, sliding her hand gently down my chest, mirroring my papa’s gesture. It was as if he had breathed life into our vows, capturing not just the words, but the emotion and legacy behind them. Alex made the experience of working with him enjoyable. Throughout the process, his communication was top-notch, and professionalism shone through every step of the way. He was attentive of our needs and made the process easy. Alex didn’t just record our day—he captured its essence. Every look, every laugh, every precious detail we wanted to hold onto is now a part of a beautiful memory we’ll cherish for a lifetime. These are moments that photos alone could never fully capture; they’re filled with emotions that will be felt and connected to for years to come. At the beginning of this process, Alex was a stranger. As we got to know him we felt as though he became a friend. We’re forever grateful to have found Alex, who created more than just a video—he created a keepsake of our love and joy that we will cherish for a lifetime.
