Chris & Jacque
“We cannot begin to express how much we enjoyed working with Abel. Although weddings are meant to be a celebration, it's no secret that there is a fair amount of stress that comes with the planning. Not only did Agape Filmworks not do anything to add to the stress, they manage to keep it as enjoyable as possible. He and his team were virtually unnoticeable except for when they were setting us up to get some amazing shots. As for the video itself? Incredible! It is honestly movie trailer quality. We have probably watched it 1,000 times and we still can't find anything that we would want to change. I'm sure there are other good wedding videographers out there, but I am willing to bet that few (if any) are as good as Abel. The man truly is an artist.”
Viet & Angela
“My husband knew Abel through TCU… On our wedding day, Abel was the first vendor to show up and ready for the whole day! What I love most is that he does not have time limit like others so we have a piece of mind that he would always be there for us! We finally received our wedding films and could not be happier. Abel captured every detail beautifully and authentically with his amazing storytelling skills. We definitely loved working with him and would highly recommend him to anyone!!!” Angela Tran
Lauren & Thiago
“Abel is extremely talented and dedicated to what he does. He made incredible engagement and wedding videos for my husband, Thiago, and I. They are the kind of videos you want to watch over and over again :)
We are so happy we picked Abel. He included personal details and emotion into our videos and we couldn’t be happier with the end products. We strongly recommend!” - Lauren Parravicini

Abel Pérez- Arita
Established in 2016, Agape Filmworks is the culmination of my life’s purpose. Through my art, I aim to inspire THROUGH MEANINGFUL ART the preservation of values such as
family, friendship, and community.
Every frame of love I capture is a painting to me - each is encrypted with artistic elements that help uphold the everlasting union of all the LOVING couples who step in front of my camera.
Weddings to me are celebrations of DEEP spiritual significance. I am a firm believer in the power of love and the positive difference it makes like a ripple effect.
A romantic at heart and lover of cinema, “the moment” is precious to me. Helping couples relive such authentic and passionate memories is a privilege I do not take for granted.
Camera in hand, I chase after these moments with agape, a Greek word for love that captured my imagination years ago when I started filming weddings.
Let’s make history with your art.
