Hi, I am

LOve Genre Films


about

My love of capturing special moments began at an early age in my childhood creating family videos, short films, snapping 35mm photos of family trips. This love eventually led to a career as a television journalist, where I refined my ability to capture candid, raw emotions.  I started shooting weddings in my spare time and quickly fell in love with it. The shift from fast-paced news, where stories are quickly forgotten, to creating timeless memories for couples to cherish forever, gave my work a deeper meaning. In 2013, I founded Love Genre Films, and a few years later, I left the news industry to fully pursue my passion.

About

Love Genre Films was born in 2013 from a deep passion for storytelling and a genuine love for creating heartfelt, meaningful work. What sets us apart is our personal approach: we never outsource  and take on a limited number of events each year. This allows us to give your special day the focus, care, and quality it truly deserves. Every wedding we capture is personally led by Alex Cristescu, our founder and the creative force behind both cinematography and photography. With a background in journalism and film, Alex brings a sharp eye for detail and a gift for authentic storytelling,  perfectly suited to preserve the once-in-a-lifetime moments of your big day.


With experience in both videography and photography, we understand the importance of balance and seamless collaboration to keep your day smooth, fun, and stress-free. Whether you're looking for just one service or a thoughtfully bundled package, we’re proud to offer both cinematography and photography—individually or together—to best suit your needs. Did we mention drone coverage is included with all of our packages! We are licensed by the FAA for commercial drone work!
