WE JOURNEY ALONG LIFE’S PATH AS A TEAM AND AS SOULMATES
We’re the couple and videography team behind Madeinvideo. For over seven years now we’ve been documenting weddings together and capturing the love stories of amazing couples in different parts of the world. There is no doubt that engaging in this has been one of the best decisions of our lives. Coz we love what we do and we love being together.
Those closest to us know it: as far as we’re concerned, this is much more than just a job, it’s a way of life. It’s what we think about all day, what we talk about all the time and even what we dream about. So, yes, you could say we’re a little obsessed, haha.
From a very young age, and before we met, the pair of us were fascinated by filmmaking and carrying a camera around all day, whether it was to document the lives of our friends or to shoot our first short films. So it’s hardly surprising that we ended up meeting and falling in love, years later, studying for a master’s degree in filmmaking. Since then, we’ve been inseparable.
For over seven years now we’ve been documenting weddings together and capturing love stories in different parts of the world.
We’ve got the best job in the world! An outdoor “office”; where we are surrounded by happiness and confetti all the time.
THIS IS OUR STORY, WHAT’S YOURS?
We’ve completed a heap of projects together (writing scripts, filming commercials...) but shooting our first wedding changed our lives. Since then, we’ve been hooked. OK, it may sound a little corny, but finding what you want to do for the rest of your life is an incredible feeling. We’re very lucky: we’ve got the best job in the world! An outdoor “office” where we are surrounded by love, happiness and confetti all the time.
Besides, we adore people and we love to hear their stories, because there is beauty in all of them and they deserve to be told. That’s our mission, not to let them get lost, to regale those stories for them, because they’re part of their legacy. It’s a huge great responsibility, but also something we’re passionate about, because we’ve spent our whole lives learning the art of storytelling. That’s why we get a rush when a couple asks us to document the most important day of their lives. To capture with our cameras the real and genuine moments, the laughter, the tears, the emotion... and the very special connection between two people, is what fills us most.
Well, enough about us, now it’s your turn. We want to know your story. Write us a message and let’s start talking.
LIFESTYLE
We live on the beautiful island of Mallorca (Spain) and we love it. Not only because it’s one of the most famous places in Europe to celebrate destination weddings, but because it dovetails perfectly with our Mediterranean lifestyle. Bathing on the beach, walking in the Tramuntana mountains and eating healthy food. There’s a reason they call it the “Island of Calm”. An ideal setting to keep us inspired and creative.
And even though we think there’s no better place to live than Mallorca, we are mad keen travellers. We’re lucky enough to get to travel several times a year, either to document weddings in other parts of the world or because we take a much-needed holiday at the season’s end. Getting to know new places and cultures keeps our curiosity about life and the world alive, makes us learn to look at what is around us with different eyes and makes us better people and videographers. That is why we believe in gathering experiences, not things.
Although we love to travel, we’re also very homely. We like to enjoy the simple things, like listening to the latest album by our favorite artist, kicking back with a good novel, or getting our hands on Kubrick’s entire filmography again. Because often, there’s nothing better than being at home. Especially, if that day we get an Amazon delivery with a new lens to try out, haha.
Plus, we love to cook and learn new recipes. The perfect excuse to invite some friends over (most probably photographers) and give them a taste of our attempt at Pad Thai while we gabble nonstop about our adventures in the world of weddings. Yeah, we told you, it’s a lifestyle. That’s who we are.

MEET THE FILMMAKER
MEET THE FILMMAKER
A failed actress since I was 8 years old, when the leading role in the school play was stolen from me! In my opinion I was the perfect Juliet, although as soon as I had my first video camera in my hands something told me that I would be better off on the other side of the camera and I wasn’t wrong. Even so, my dream is to write, direct and star in my own film, a la ‘Woody Allen’. On top of all that, I love being with my family and my latest obsession is my little niece, so you can often find me watching the videos of her that my sister sends me via WhatsApp.
I’m a self-taught person who obsessively researches those topics that interest me: pop culture, the use of technology in creativity, or psychology. That’s why, since I was a teenager, I’ve infiltrated a great many urban tribes and tried out all kinds of hobbies. So my tastes are very eclectic. You can catch me listening to hardcore metal one day and Taylor Swift the next. One year I’m a skater and the next I’m learning to spin indietronica. If we only have one life, we’ll have to try everything, won’t we? The only love that is not fleeting is the love I have for my work as a filmmaker.
