Rooted in Southwest Florida, Vela Film House was founded by Tariq Castillo, who serves as the head filmmaker for La Casa Toscana—a luxury venue celebrated in publications such as Vogue. With a strong background in beauty-industry cinematography, Tariq brings a refined, detail-driven eye to wedding storytelling and an ability to guide people on camera so they look confident, natural, and elevated.

Alongside Tariq is a team of filmmakers whose diverse experience—including event production, audio design, and cinematic timing—adds depth, balance, and creative dimension to every film we craft. Together, we combine intuition, artistry, and technical excellence to create a seamless, fully supported experience for every couple we serve.

We believe the best wedding films are rooted in trust and connection. Taking the time to truly know each couple allows us to create an atmosphere where they feel comfortable, grounded, and fully present. And because we understand the weight and beauty of your wedding day, we approach our work with intention and care, knowing that when you remember the day you promised forever, our aim is to create a film that returns its sound, its emotion, and every treasured moment—so those who watch can feel your joy and be moved by the love you lived.

As our portfolio continues to grow, our commitment remains unwavering: to craft romantic, timeless, emotionally rich films that honor your story in the way it deserves.
