You're the story
No two films look alike, because no two couples are alike. The edit is built around your voices, your vows and your people.
About
Hawaii · Filipino roots · Story first
Hi there! I'm Mark.
Hawaii wedding videographer. Filipino warmth. A creative heart that's all in on your story.
Sc. 01 The story
Centered on you.
I'm Mark Arista, your Hawaii wedding videographer. Infused with Filipino warmth and creative heart, my films are entirely centered on you, your love, and the community surrounding you on your biggest day.
Whether your celebration takes you to a Hawaiian beach and mountains, a classic church, or beneath the stars, I'm there to capture the magic — transforming your once-in-a-lifetime moments into a story you'll relive for a lifetime.
A wedding is never only about two people. It's the families who flew in, the elders who gave their blessing, and the friends who would do anything for you. That's who I film for — so years from now you can hear the laughter, see the tears and feel the whole day again.
More than an artist, I consider myself a keen observer: a visual storyteller who loves listening to unique love stories. The result is simple — authentic, heartfelt and handmade.
Sc. 02 What I believe
Three things I never compromise.
Presence over poses
I'd rather you live your day than perform it. I stay close, calm and unobtrusive, so the real moments happen on their own.
Community matters
The hug from your lola, the toast from your best friend, the whole family on the dance floor — they all belong in the film.
Sc. 03 The promise
Once-in-a-lifetime moments, told as a story you'll relive for a lifetime.
