The Pinwheel Film Co. family is comprised of part-time film lovers & full-time filmmakers. It’s all we know & we like to think we know it well. We’re more quality than quantity…literally. We take on no more than 24 weddings a year and believe this is the magic number to produce timeless films & treat our clients more like family than just another client.
Outside of Pinwheel, Alonso is also an acclaimed local Director, who has produced and directed multiple, award-winning commercials for internationally-know brands like Nike, Hilton, Zumba and Magnavox through our commercial/advertising sister company, Luminary Visuals, bringing a high end, storytelling touch to Pinwheel that is rarely seen in the wedding cinematography realm.
Elsie, having been extensively involved in the wedding industry for almost a decade now, handles our client experiences, making sure that every meticulous detail of the needs of each of our clients are met day in and day out. She also runs the popular Photo Booth company, Shutterbarn where the most fun moments of the night, can be captured and shared instantly.
With the advancement of technology, even a phone could document your special moments. But it’s the innovation, care & attention to detail that will tell your story in a timeless way.
We don’t believe in cookie cutter. We believe in personalizing a couple’s story & telling that story through a cinematic lens.
With our background in film production and both fiction & non-fiction documentary storytelling, our cinematography surpasses the standard high contrast, high saturation “I set my camera on auto” look. Every frame is a painting and requires custom cinematography techniques to take the moment to the next level.
No one likes to brag. But you have to admit that trophies are a classier way to do so.
ISO, Shutter speeds, Aperture, picture profiles, codecs, color grading. Let us worry about these things. We are certified technical geeks, and we love every iota of it.

“Very professional, totally unobtrusive wedding cinematography! They listened to our needs/requests and were very accommodating. We booked them very late in the game and had very patient and pleasant interactions with the whole team.”
