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!

Good Vibes, High Quality, and Professional

Cd Leland was by far the best choice I made! I am beyond happy with the production of film that I will forever get to look back on. Not only was the quality amazing but the interaction and conversation with Leland made me feel comfortable, excited, and understood. Do not look any further- Leland is your guy!

Videographer Who Truly Got the Vibe!!

We could not have asked for a better videographer for our wedding. He arrived on time and delivered everything he promised, and then some. From the very beginning, he was incredibly responsive, thoughtful, and easy to work with, which made the whole process feel effortless.
On the day of the wedding, he brought such a great energy with him, calm when we needed it, fun when the party started, and it truly added to the overall vibe of the day. The videos he captured are moments I’ll treasure forever. He documented our ceremony in a way that felt absolutely serene, like something straight out of a fairytale, and then perfectly switched gears to capture a reception that was an absolute rager.
One of my favorite moments he caught was my mother-in-law completely throwing down on the dance floor with me and my friends, something I never want to forget and am so grateful to have on video. His attention to detail and ability to capture both the emotional and joyful chaos of the day is unmatched. I cannot recommend him highly enough.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
