Carlos here, the Creative Director of IZ Cinema, and on behalf of the team, we'd be thrilled to get the chance to create something for you. Locally or abroad, no destination is too far. IZ Cinema is a TEAM of talented individuals, all whom have slightly specific skill sets.
From myself, to Austin, David and the rest of our crew we feel that learning and growing with other professionals is the only way we know how to stay fresh, motivated, and ready at a moment's notice.You'll get to know at least 2 of us so we can all feel comfortable about what you want and how we can make it happen.

Carlos and the IZ Cinema team went above and beyond for our June wedding. When we emailed Carlos about potentially shooting our wedding at Holman Ranch, he immediately set up time to discuss logistics, get a feel for what we were hoping to capture and offer one-of-a-kind creative ideas. He knows the ins and outs of shooting at Holman which helped us create a unique and personal wedding video.
100% Classic Momentum style from soft buildup to crescendos. Spoken words complement flashbacks, and the optional family interviews - contact us for menu items - Read about their gorgeous Holman Ranch Wedding in the "Inspiration" section. Bold, inviting, unapologetically ecstatic. This is a teaser - see the full version below - for a New Year's Eve wedding complete with fireworks!
Engagement / Save-The-Date videos show you two in your natural element, being yourselves and having fun as a couple. These are mini-experiences, and fun to share after. Notice how all of these are very different. You have your own style and your video should too. John Paul is a Head Chef at a restaurant managed by Annie. in fact, that is where they met!
Dream Inn Santa Cruz needed a splash of life to make their website pop and increase their retention rate. We listened to what they wanted to showcase. Our job was doing it in a way that achieves our ultimate goal: create a feeling of wonder and curiosity. There's always a gap to bridge between what the client wants to achieve and how to get there.

Super grateful for IZ cinema as they came through for us in the middle of a pandemic!
Carlos -- awesome dude, great personality and has some seriously amazing editing skills! The last couple of months leading up to our wedding day in July were very stressful, but Carlos worked with us and reassured us that everything was going to be okay, and he was right!
Although Carlos couldn't be there to film our wedding, he sent his colleagues, David and Chrystal (videographers) and they were amazing -- they captured all the right moments at the right time!
Two weeks later, Carlos sent us our wedding

I was unsure about whether I wanted a videographer for my wedding or not -- in the end I decided it was a go but it was really an afterthought for me. I am soo soo glad I did it. It's just the best getting to relive the most magical day of your life. I rewatch the videos anytime I am having a bad day and it automatically cheers me up! Carlos did a great job and delivered exactly what I wanted.
I had received quotes from many others that were completely outrageous-- and since I was still on the fence about it -- there was no way I was going to shell out ~$10K for a video. Then came Carlos

I used to work in the film industry (wedding videography in particular) and when my little sister told me she was hiring videographers for her wedding, I HIGHLY advised her against it because it always feels like they are in the way. Being the MOH and very much involved in the wedding, I was surprised to find how distant the crew was throughout the entire day. Not to mention, they were still able to get such incredible footage!
Most videographers focus on "getting the shot" rather than letting the moments be more candid, but if you value a high-quality videographer who is non-invasive

When I married the love of my life, I wanted to be sure to have a great video that we could look back on for years to come. The IZ Cinema team made sure that happened!
Austin and Nick worked the cameras on our day and were absolutely fantastic. They're professional, talented, and really know how weddings work. We often say that taking sunset shots with them and our photographer was one of our favorite moments, as we finally got to take a breath. Austin and Nick have an extremely calming presence and don't add any stress to what's already a stressful day.

I was the mother of the bride, and we financed the October 2019 wedding at the beautiful Sand Rock Farm in Aptos. We planned the wedding for one year and as everyone knows there is an overwhelming number of decisions to be made. My daughter found Carlos and IZ Cinema and we could not have been happier.
Carlos' two assistants Austin and Nick worked our wedding and they were fantastic about working alongside our photographer Amber (DeJoy Photography - also highly recommended). As my daughter said, they were great because they were so chill- barely knew they were there a lot of the time.

Wow wow wow Carlos work speaks for itself. I live in OC and I found him on yelp, I talked to 10 people and due to his professionalism I picked him. I didn't go wrong. From start to end his work is amazing. @pauljonesuptop is my video he did and I can't stop watch it. My GF wanted a different pic of her and he changed it no problem. I can't wait for my wedding. I hired him for my engagement and yeah PERFECT. Most of all he didn't bug me about money once he got his deposit he was fine. The way he handles everything in detail and just how great his work is SIMPLY AMAZING

I cannot begin to express how grateful we are to have found Carlos. He was referred to us by our amazing Wedding Planner, Patty Speirs. She gave us (3) different companies to choose from and just based on his website alone, we knew we had made the best decision. I'm all about photography, but what makes moments captured even BETTER is a video.
Carlos and his team were professional and patient with my crazy crew. He captured footage that nobody would've thought was as important as it was and we are just thrilled with the results!!!! He chose thee PERFECT background music that fit our

Carlos exceeded our expectations in every way! From our save the date video to our wedding day - we could not have asked for a better experience. The connection we made with Carlos was almost instantaneous - after our first meeting we knew he was going to be so much fun to work with. On our wedding day, he truly made us feel comfortable, knew exactly how to make us laugh, and went above and beyond to produce the most beautiful video capturing our special day! We are so grateful. Thank you Carlos!

I can't even begin to say how fantastic my experience was with Carlos. I researched a LOT of different videographers and looked at different videos, and none came close to the quality that Carlos with IZ Cinema produces. Videography was something I decided to add on only a few months prior to my wedding. I wasn't originally planning to do it primarily because of cost. However, I am SO glad I ended up moving forward with it and hiring Carlos. Not only was he an absolute pleasure to work with (very detail oriented, responsive, professional and talented), but the videos that he created are

We were very happy with the services provided by Carlos. He is not only a great artist but a remarkable person. He is patient, flexible, and detail oriented. The end product was unbelievable and he went above and beyond to ensure that we felt supported throughout the process. I would certainly recommend Carlos Izquierdo to anyome looking for a videographer.

Wedding update* Our wedding day was absolutely amazing! I feel like our wedding video captured all of it! Every time I watch it it bring tears to my eyes. It came out so beautiful! Working with Carlos was so easy, he worked hard to make sure to get the images and parts of the wedding I wanted even though the wedding venue was not easy to navigate. Carlos also worked very well with our photographer making each transition so seamless, whether we were inside or out. Carlos kept me updated on the time to make sure we had enough time for the video and he never once made anything feel rushed. It was

Carlos was a pleasure to work with before, during and after the wedding. He was extremely thorough, which is always nice. Beautiful shots, really captured the moment and the highlight reel from my brother's wedding is probably my favorite wedding video of all time. He had a couple spots where he layered the speeches and the music and it really just added to the depth of the video. He used a drone (camera on a helicopter) and did these amazing fly over shots. On top of that, he was friendly with our family and friends, while maintaining his professionalism. He dressed appropriately and truly

Carlos was the videographer for our wedding in Aug 2015. We really enjoyed working with him and would recommend him to anyone looking for an excellent and professional videographer!
He was wonderful to work with because of the following:
1) Carlos was great with communication, he was reliable, and he was overall a great guy - He would call, email, and text with responses VERY quickly. This mattered a lot to me when I was looking for wedding vendors. He would call at the promised time and he would show up at the correct location. About 2 weeks before the wedding, we spoke in great detail about
