About Me
Perhaps the name Nico Constantinides is a giveaway - I'm Greek.
That's the source of "Agápe" - which means unconditional, spiritual love.
I was born and raised in Santa Barbara.
I know Coastal California very well.
I’ve been filming weddings for over 10 years.
I’ve had the opportunity to shoot at most of the venues in and around town. Many times.
I was trained at the University of Southern California in Film and Television Production.
In total I have over 20 years of filmmaking experience, with a few awards to my name.
I'm in love with my family, which helps me connect to the love in yours.
Shooting Approach
This is a wedding - not a film shoot.
I take a low key approach, intentionally trying to take up as little space as possible.
I’m not going to be circling the dance floor for your first dance.
I’m not bringing a paparazzi - in fact 95% of the time I'm shooting solo.
I won’t be asking you to pose unnecessarily all day long (maybe just a little bit during the couple’s shoot).
I’ll be contributing to the good vibes of your bridal party by quietly filming the candid moments that arise.
your guide
Bottom line is that I'm your guy.
I've got your back through this whole process, and will make it seamless for you.
The guarantee of working with me is that you will receive a wonderful set of films. That's a given (just check out my reviews on Yelp or Google or Wedding Wire or The Knot).
I will also support you with a calm and pleasant energy.
I’m a team player that will collaborate with your photographer and coordinator effortlessly.
Let me help you be present during your wedding day, while simultaneously creating something eternal for your legacy.
