Hi! I’m Maria Nivar!
For years I’ve had a strong passion for videography. In 2010 that materialized in the form of weddings. Since then I went to college and got my associates degree in Video Production - I also became a certified videographer. Throughout my years filming weddings I’ve learned to create a very unique style - something I believe you can’t find anywhere else. Furthermore, Nivar Photography is a wedding business for the couple who views video as a priority for their big day. I am not a documentary based wedding vendor. Instead, I aim to create an artistic movie - entirely centered around the couple.
Filming weddings gives me a sense of peace and excitement that I can hardly explain. Each and every wedding I film I take it as seriously as I possibly can. This is the biggest day of your life and I plan to produce for you a video that goes above and beyond your expectations. When you book with me you’ll not only receive a killer video - but a new friend. My attitude is very laid back; I aim to make the entire experience as comfortable and as stress-free as possible. I once had a photographer ask me how long I had known the groom - and to her surprise I said only a couple hours. The camaraderie and fun we will have together is unmatched, and I know for a fact we will have a blast!
Before your wedding film, I’ll talk with you and find out exactly how to mold your video. We’ll talk about your story and everything that makes you great and unique. These traits will be artistically crafted into your film that will create not just a highlight film - but a story. I’ve done roughly 90+ weddings since 2010 in and around the Florida area. Several have been destination weddings. Wherever you go, I’ll go - and we’ll create an amazing video together!
Hi there! my name is Alberto and I specialize in wedding cinematography; a contemporary, stylized and somewhat dramatic approach to the more traditional “wedding video.” I’m extremely passionate, almost to the point of obsession, about what I do. I’m constantly trying to better myself, pushing the boundaries, evolving and perfecting my skills. I continually invest in my film techniques, design, equipment and technology to ensure my work is both elegant and innovative, with a contemporary edge. My biggest goal? – to make each wedding video better than the last one.
From the bride and groom preparations in the morning, right through to the first dance, you won’t even know I’m there. As a cinematographer, I’m not there to direct you, but simply to capture your day as it unfolds. With my unique style and elegant approach, I’ll take your special day and turn it into a movie, telling the story of you as a couple and the day you shared with your closest friends and family that you can treasure forever.
Mariano Paulino . When I was 11 years old, I got my hands on my first camera. I instantly fell in love with photography. What I love most about my job is that I get to create beautiful moments every photo session. I capture normal people, every day people. They are not models…they are not actors. They are you and me. They don’t know what to do or how to behave in front of the camera. We really enjoy helping our clients feel good and natural in front of the camera by sharing our passion and showing them how enjoyable the process can be. We are there with you, by your side, to guide you with our experience and knowledge. We know how important your moment is and want to ensure that you are happy with the outcome! We would be honored if you would allow us to be there to capture your journey. Weather it is that exciting first step towards a new life with your spouse, or the thrill of seeing your daughter turn 15, or just photos with your family, we will capture the moments in beautiful photos to showcase in your home. We will be sure to capture your love, excitement, joy and pride in every photo. We can’t wait to meet you so we can work with you on coming up with concepts and ideas for your photos that really capture your personality and who you are. We can’t wait to tell your story with photos!
