about your wedding filmmaker & photographer

California Wedding Cinematographer and Filmmaker

Ernie Gochez

I’m Ernie—filmmaker, photographer, and full-time artist. I’m drawn to the quiet in-between moments: the exhale before you walk down the aisle, the hands that find each other, the laughter that happens when nobody’s performing.


My work has been published in Forbes and has taken me into projects with celebrated musicians and creatives—but my favorite stories are always the personal ones. The kind you feel in your chest. If you want something honest, romantic, and timeless, I’d love to tell your story.
