Cristian Marcelo Vélez
Primary Cinematographer | Owner
I'm the founder and owner of CINEMARVEL FILMS LLC, a New York/New Jersey based wedding cinematography company.
My journey into filmmaking started over 15 years ago, documenting my daughter's childhood with one of my first DSLR cameras. From ages one to seven, I captured the everyday moments that pass too quickly. When I edited those memories into a film, I realized the power of preserving life as it truly happens. That film became the foundation of my passion for storytelling, and the reason I still approach every project with intention and heart.
She's in college now and wants nothing to do with being in front of my camera, but that's where it all began.
Over the past five years, I’ve had the privilege of collaborating with several respected production companies, including HAND STITCHED FILMS (destinations world-wide cinematography), HAND CRAFT PICTURES (a London-based cinematographer), ROCK LIFE STUDIOS, PACIFIC PICTURES (internationally acclaimed wedding films), KENNETH COOPER FILMS (luxury destination weddings), SOLIDITYFILMS, ROMANTIC WEDDINGS by LORENZO MEDIA PRODUCTIONS, and CINEMACAKE (a leading wedding video company in Philadelphia).
I film weddings the way they're meant to be remembered: not perfect, no posed, but deeply human. My approach is rooted in storytelling, emotion, and authenticity. I focus on the in-between moments: The breath before you walk down the aisle, the squeeze of a hand, the laughter you didn't know anyone was watching. Every film is crafted to feel personal, immersive, and true to who you are.
