Swinton Estates, UK wedding

Hiring Leland for our wedding was the best decision we could have made. He embodied exactly the vision I had for our wedding day. Reliable, friendly and professional. He came all the way to England for our wedding and he was able to get himself to our venue and did not add stress to us by having to help him figure out how to get there. It was a last minute booking for us. We got so lucky he was able to get us in! I will continue to recommend him to anyone I know that’s getting married!!

Best Videographer

Leland is amazing. We didn’t know what to expect for our wedding day other chaos, but he showed up on time, ready to go. He knew exactly what we were looking for from our meeting and he executed beautifully. Did not get in the way of anything directed us to make sure we knew what was happening and getting better angles. He was super informational, made every laugh and super friendly and easy to talk to. Any request we had he did with no hesitation just making sure we always looked good. After getting our videos they were more then we could of imagined and so perfect with timeings and how he put everything together. Even let us change things after final edits with no issues.
LeLand your the best we are so greatful and thankful you were there do video our wedding. We hope to have you again for other special events.

We love Leland!

Leland has been wonderful for every step of the process. He did a great job of helping us figure out what we wanted, keeping a low profile during the ceremony, and helping direct us where we needed it! We love the final photos and video and would hire him again in a second!

Absolutely amazing!

We are so happy we picked Cd Leland Films as our videographer. He created a beautiful video that captured our entire day from start to end. He we above and beyond to capture every detail, every moment and every emotion that made our big day so special. His ability to create a video that fits our vibe and allows us to relive the love and happiness we felt on our wedding day is amazing. Not to mention, the day of the wedding he was extremely professional, fit seamlessly into our schedule, worked along side our photographer and vendors, and was able to capture moments we didn't know we needed! He somehow was undetectable and yet captured every important moment that made our day so special. My husband and I are so happy we chose Cd Leland Films to create a wedding video that we get to cherish forever.

The best decision we made for our wedding

We honestly couldn’t be happier with our experience working with Leland. From the very first conversation, he made us feel completely at ease and genuinely excited about our wedding day. On the day itself, he blended in seamlessly—calm, professional, and somehow everywhere at once—capturing moments we didn’t even realize were happening.

When we received our film, we were blown away. It didn’t feel like just a wedding video—it felt like a movie that perfectly told our story. The emotion, the pacing, the music, the little in-between moments… everything was intentional and beautifully done. We’ve already watched it more times than we can count and cry every single time.

If you’re looking for someone who truly cares, has an incredible eye, and delivers something timeless and cinematic, CD is absolutely the one. Hiring him was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding.

Mario B. Review

Leland was so great! He took into account what my partner and I both wanted and threw together some personal touches that made me feel like the love was captured. He had a few sneak peeks available the morning after and the rest not long after. Would highly recommend!
