Paul & Vlad + the Aperina Team are THE BEST

My now-wife and I had the absolute pleasure of working with Paul, Vlad, and the rest of the Aperina team and we so happy that we chose them; when I say they are THE BEST in the business I truly mean it. Starting from the consistent communication prior to the wedding, they were prompt to respond and ensured that the photography/videography was going to be to our liking and that we were all on the same page artistically and otherwise (pricing, number of staff on site, details etc.)

And my god were the results worth it. We are floored by how everything turned out - everyone who's viewed our photos/videos has given us constant praise and many have inquired "WHO TOOK THESE?" Their product speaks for itself; all the praise and popularity you see online understates truly how great the team and their extraordinary product is.

Apart from their stellar work they are truly a personable and wonderful group of people. Along with being one of the most important days of your life, your wedding day also tends to be very anxiety filled, and with the entire team there I felt a minimal amount worry/concern and overall anxiety. The team was reassuring, comforting and put the both of us in great spirits. Thank you Aperina for everything; you all truly made our day magical and were an absolutely joy to work with, from the start of the wedding planning process months prior to the final minutes the night of, everything was perfect.

Truly Thankful for the Aperina Team

Aperina, as a whole, is a phenomenal team. Paul’s photography is amazing - he has an eye for it and knows exactly how to make magic happen in order for his lens to capture it. He was all in - 100% dedicated to creating a beautiful album for us to look at for years to come. Vlad produced the most beautiful, gentle, and symbolic cinematography possible. It was truly a marvel to see how he took clips of our wedding week and told a story far beyond what the events of that week. His lighting and frame transitions told a beautiful story of us starting our lives together. We are so thankful to have had Aperina as our photography and cinematography team!

The BEST wedding Cinematographers!

Vitaliy & the entire team at Aperina Studios did a PHENOMENAL job with our wedding film & documentary edits. From start to finish, it was such a seamless process working with them. From signing the contract to the hectic wedding week to curating the perfect wedding film & documentary edits — the team was TRULY impressive the entire time.

When my husband & I got our wedding film and documentary edits back, we were excited to relive all the memories of our wedding week. The videos instantly made me tear up — it was everything I had envision and more. I’ve watched the wedding film so many times, and it still gives me the chills. Every emotion & moment was captured so beautifully.

The best part of the entire process was that once we hired Aperina, we didn’t have to worry about a thing. The team was communicative & response, made sure that everyone was on the same page about what we wanted from the videos and then executed that to perfection. We didn’t have to worry about the process and the little details at all since Vitality and his team were on top of all the details. My husband and I would strongly recommend them to anybody who are looking for an amazing team to capture their special moments.

Aperina Studios truly put their heart and soul into our wedding film & documentary edits and we couldn’t be happier.

An amazing photographer and vendor!

Paul and Tanya knocked my photos out of the park. They were a joy to work with. They told us exactly how to pose and were able to collaborate so well with my other vendors. They have already edited so many of my photos and they continue to upload them as they are done. My wedding was only 3 weeks ago! 8349573985/10 - I couldn't recommend Aperina more!

Hire aperina!

BEST WEDDING VIDEOGRAPHER EVER!!!! We loved all of our vendors, but Aperina definitely stood out as going above and beyond on everything they did. Even from before the wedding I remember them clearly asking us for photos of immediate family to make sure they were included in the video. Vitaliy and his team were true professionals and were so much fun to work with. We did a Same Day Edit and let me tell you I was CRYING by the end of it. They truly encompassed all the raw emotions and live shots of our wedding perfectly. This may just be more our style- but there were close to NO STILL SHOTS in our video which is a huge factor for me! The quality of products they delivered was truly exceptional and We could not recommend them enough to anyone!!

Amazing Videographer with a one-of-a-kind vision!

Vitaliy was an absolute dream to work with. Our initial call was a deep dive into who we are, both individually and as a couple. He took the time to understand our vision, emphasizing what we wanted showcased, and taking note of what we preferred to keep subtle.

On the big day, his skills were evident. Not only did he seamlessly collaborate with our photographer and wedding planner, but he also had an innate ability to command the space without overshadowing our moments. What we especially appreciated was his knack for capturing the most beautiful memories without pulling us out of them. He was efficient in his direction, making sure every second counted.

Post-wedding, Vitaliy's accommodating nature shone through. He was incredibly responsive, flexible, and open to feedback on the initial edits. We had multiple follow-up calls, and during each one, he took pains to ensure all our desires were met without compromising the creative essence of the video.

The final products? Simply perfect. Both the short film and documentary edits were incredible, and stitched together in such a cinematic manner. It all had a movie-like flow, and it truly captured the magic and love of the day. We couldn't have asked for a better videographer!

Absolutely AMAZING Videographers

Vitaliy and his brother were such incredible people to work with. They were very friendly and professional. They try so hard to make sure they capture everything they can from the wedding. We had wedding guests come up to tell us how surprised they were to see them run all over the venue so they didn't miss anything. Even other vendors told us how great it was working with them. The song choice, the video editing, the colors, and the way they match the speeches with the clips just blew us away. I cannot say enough how amazing our wedding video came out. It truly exceeded beyond our expectations. We got married in 2021 (yes, this review is long overdue) and till this day, I still cry every time I watch it. I highly, highly recommend them! Thank you so much, Aperina Studios!

Amazing Vendor!

Vitaliy was hands down one of our favorite vendors! He did such an amazing job capturing our wedding and I’m so glad we chose him. Vitaliy was very professional and easy going throughout the whole process. As novices to the wedding realm, we didn’t know what we wanted but Vitaliy told us his vision and gave us his recommendations. Also, as a stranger to our love story, he took the time to know about us and what mattered - the video truly captured who we are. It was a pleasure to work with someone so kind, experienced, professional, and relaxed. Having a videographer is worth every penny because you and your partner can watch and relive the day forever (I tear up every time I watch the beautiful work Vitaliy orchestrated).

Fantastic!

My wife and I were lucky enough to have Vitaliy from Aperina studios capture video for our wedding. We booked him and his team after seeing examples of the awesome work he has done. What stood out to us was that the videos he crafted felt like genuine representations of the couples and their weddings, instead of the cookie-cutter videos we had seen with other vendors. After meeting with him, we understood why. He made a genuine effort to get to know us and our relationship so that he knew what aspects of the wedding to focus on in order to capture the story of our wedding. The result was a video that we felt truly reflected how we experienced the wedding, which we are looking forward to continuously rewatching over the years to remember our wonderful day. During the wedding, he was extremely professional and thorough with his coverage. Other than the pre-planned videography shoots during which he did a great job of directing us, we didn’t notice his presence during the wedding (which is what we requested). We felt like he and his team were able to stay hidden in the background, but still capture all the little moments we wanted to remember. We highly recommend Aperina studios for anyone looking to immortalize their special day on video.
