Our Approach

Beautiful, cinematic, and deeply personal — without ever feeling overly produced or removed from the reality of the day.

“Alma” means soul in Spanish — a name rooted in Sofía’s Chilean heritage and a reflection of what draws us to wedding films in the first place: the part you can't stage, but you feel.

We believe the best films come from paying attention to what's actually happening. The people, the place, the energy of the room, and all the moments in between. Our approach is thoughtful and unobtrusive, allowing the day to unfold naturally while capturing the details and emotions that make it uniquely yours.

The result is a film that feels as real as it is beautiful.

Sofía + Josh

Founded in 2013, Alma Films is a Minneapolis-based wedding film studio led by Sofía and Josh. Together, we've built a studio around a shared appreciation for beautiful imagery, meaningful stories, and the people at the center of them.

We've had the privilege of documenting nearly 400 celebrations across the Midwest and around the world. As owners and creative leads, we shape the vision behind every film, from the way we approach a wedding day to the way each story comes together in post-production.

Outside of Alma, we're raising three little ones, finding excuses to travel, spending time at the lake, and making the most of the everyday moments that seem to pass the quickest. It's a perspective that finds its way into our work and reminds us why these stories matter.

Kind words

“Among their gifts is to be present as elite professionals and also the charming couple that you want on your guest list. They were predictably inconspicuous and always where you hoped they would be — capturing the shared and small moments that would be our best memories.”

The Alma Team

Alma is more than the two of us. We work alongside a talented team of filmmakers and editors who share the same appreciation for genuine moments, thoughtful storytelling, and beautiful imagery.

Whether we're behind the camera ourselves or one of our team members is, the intention stays the same. Every wedding is approached with care, creativity, and a commitment to making something that feels personal to you. From the first moments of the day to the final edit, our team works together to bring each story to life.

Because years from now, we want your film to do more than remind you what your wedding looked like.

We want it to take you back.

From the industry

“We cannot say enough incredible things about Alma Films! They are our go-to partner for all things videography, and there is a reason we continue to recommend them time and time again.

Their films are nothing short of extraordinary. Timeless, exquisite, emotional, and so thoughtfully crafted. They have an incredible ability to capture not just how an event looked, but how it felt! Their attention to detail, storytelling, and artistry is truly unmatched, and the videos they create are pieces their clients will treasure for a lifetime.

But as beautiful as their work is, what makes Alma Films truly exceptional is the people behind the camera.

Josh and Sofia are some of the kindest, most genuine, thoughtful, and collaborative professionals we have the pleasure of working alongside. They are responsive, considerate, flexible, and always approach each event with a team-first mentality. As planners and designers, we cannot emphasize enough how valuable that is. They understand that creating an exceptional event takes an entire team working together, and they consistently go above and beyond to make the experience seamless for everyone involved.

They bring a sense of calm, professionalism, and genuine joy to every event, and they care just as much about the client experience as they do about the final product. That combination is rare, and it is something we value tremendously.

We work with so many talented creatives in this industry, and Alma Films is truly in a league of their own. They are the kind of partner who makes our job better, our clients' experiences more meaningful, and the entire creative process more enjoyable.

Beautiful work is one thing; beautiful work created by truly wonderful people is something entirely different. Sofia and Josh deliver both, every single time!

We are so grateful for our partnership with them and could not recommend them more highly!”
