Since 2016, my team of 10+ has planned, filmed, and edited content that looks great and drives results—across brand/profile videos, Google Business Profile content, testimonial reels, short-form ads, product/food shoots, corporate events, and headshots. What sets us apart is the blend of creative direction + marketing strategy. Every shoot starts with your goals (trust, traffic, leads), then we design a clear plan—shot list, scripts, locations—and deliver polished edits sized for every platform. Clients range from local contractors and med-spas to national brands like Capital One, Costco, Chopt, Patrón, and Bacardi. What you can expect • Strategic pre-production and a smooth, on-time shoot • Crisp visuals, clean audio, and scroll-stopping edits • Transparent pricing, quick communication, and dependable turnaround If you want content that looks premium and performs, let’s tailor a package to your goals and budget.

Gabe was the best. We used IDNTY-Cinematography as a videographer/photographer for a three-day weekend B-day celebration. He was the best. The quality of the photos and videos was superb! I recommend it.

I had the pleasure of working with Gabriel, and the experience was beyond incredible. From the initial consultation to the final reveal, he demonstrated absolute professionalism, creativity, and a passion for the craft. Gabriel has a remarkable eye for detail and a unique ability to capture moments that feel both genuine and beautifully composed. The lighting, angles, and candid shots all turned out stunningly, far exceeding my expectations. Every shot tells a story and brings back the emotion of the moment perfectly. I highly recommend IDNTY Cinematography to anyone looking for breathtaking photos that capture not just an image but a memory!

Gabriel was amazing! The original photographer had a family emergency and cancelled last minute. We were able to get in touch with Gabriel, and book him the day before the wedding. He responded quickly, he sent examples of his work, was more than reasonably priced- especially for so last minute. He was punctual- despite the wedding starting a bit later. He was patient, kind, and he literally saved the day in so many ways. We are so incredibly thankful to have found him. He made capturing my best friend’s special day possible, and we can’t speak any more highly of him. We can’t wait to get the pics back. Thank you so much!

When my previously booked photographer cancelled last minute, I was in a bind for my Foundation’s event. Gabriel came to the rescue and saved the day! His professionalism was outstanding and the gallery of photos he produced were fantastic. He knew the images we needed and wanted without me even directing or explaining. His intuition is excellent! I would definitely hire him again.

Sharel H.Nov 2023

Gabriel was very professional and thorough while setting up our family photo shoot! The photos turned out perfect with the location we selected, and he truly made our inspiration photos come to life. Thank you IDNTY Cinematography for our forever memories!

I’m not one to leave bad reviews usually, but I had one of the worst experiences with Gabriel as a professional. Prior to booking him he seemed super professional and had amazing response time and communication. We were really excited to work with even. We were charged $650 for a 3 hour photo and video session (which I know is above market average), but he guaranteed us that his services are excellent. The day of our event he arrived an hour late. We really wanted pictures of the venue and decor before guests came and we missed that due to him being late. Throughout the event he left the venue several times to his car and missed important shots that we wanted. We had to ask him to take the different pictures that we wanted. To me, this doesn’t seem professional that the customer is telling you what to take shots of. A contract was drafted up that we would receive our pictures and videos a week after our event. It has now been 2 months and whenever I reach out to him, he has tons of excuses. I have been patient and giving him more than needed time. He now doesn’t reply to calls or texts (whereas his communication was great before we paid). It’s so disappointing that we paid so much and were so excited to work with someone who ended up doing this. Beware if you work with this photographer.
