Lev and Nina of Vanilla Film are simply amazing videographers, exceeded our wildest expectations, and were some of the most accommodating and kindest people we could have for our wedding.

Their professionalism and commitment went above and beyond our expectations, capturing our most treasured moments and beautifully combining them into films of cinema-level quality. We sincerely cannot provide a higher recommendation for their level of cinematography, artistic vision, and genuine compassion in helping us through our wedding day.

For context, we did not have much initial direction when we started our search for a wedding videographer. However, we knew our wedding was going to be incredibly hectic and wanted to ensure we had a solid video team so we could actually appreciate our wedding after the big event. We searched through countless websites and sample videos to little avail, but knew we found exactly what we were looking for when we found Vanilla Film.

Lev and Nina immediately jumped on a video call with us to introduce themselves, learn more about us as a couple, and provide some direction on how they would personalize their videography to match our personalities and expectations. Their kind-heartedness and creativity shined through their personalities, and we could instantly tell they were going to be fantastic to work with.

They made everything so easy for us, accommodating the schedule and locations of our multi-day wedding, and staying in consistent contact with us leading up to our big day(s). We knew we could rely on them through every step of our wedding planning process and they produced a spectacular video we will treasure forever. We honestly felt like movie stars and you can see their commitment to quality film-making through every shot of our video.

We cannot speak more highly of Lev and Nina and their cinematography. They were professional and genuine through every step of our wedding and will forever be a part of our fondest wedding memories. We know they will only continue to make some of the best wedding cinematography on the market and we will genuinely miss our interactions with them.

Wow… just WOW. We were completely mind-blown by our wedding film from Vanilla Film. They captured our day so beautifully and perfectly reflected the joy, love, and emotion we felt, not only in marrying each other, but in having all of our favorite people together in one place. The film was incredibly thoughtful, cinematic, and emotional in the best way. We immediately shared it with our friends and family and everyone has been raving about how talented the team at Vanilla Film is. We’re so grateful to have such a beautiful keepsake of our wedding day and truly couldn’t recommend Vanilla Film more highly!!

I had such a wonderful time working with Vanilla Film! Lev & Nina are not only exceptional videographers/photographers & creatives, but wonderful, wonderful people. They brought a sense of calm to our photoshoot/videoshoot in Central Park and carry themselves with the highest level of professionalism. The promotional video & photos they produced for my business are EXACTLY what I was looking for. They captured the vibe of my ensemble so perfectly! If you are looking for a videographer/photographer in New York City, Lev and Nina from Vanilla Film are absolutely THE people to go to! Can't recommend them enough!

Nina & Lev are amazing! From our first conversation, I truly felt a connection with them as a pair and was excited to see their skills and passion come to life while recapping our special day. Communication was great and transparent throughout and we LOVED our finished products. The highlight film captured our wedding in such an awesome way.. and looks like it could be a movie clip that I could watch over and over again 😊 We also purchased the documentary film and instagram reels which were lovely. We did not have Nina or Lev on site at our wedding to film day of, but their team was a joy to work with and made us very comfortable. (Di was our lead videographer who was great!) I would definitely recommend hiring Vanilla Film!!

Simply put: Vanilla Film are the dream team you need for your wedding. From start to finish, they were phenomenal. They took the time to truly understand the vision we had for our wedding film and brought it to life in a way that exceeded every expectation. Their creativity, attention to detail, and artistic eye are unparalleled.

Lev and Nina were incredibly patient and personable, making us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. They worked tirelessly to capture every special moment without ever feeling intrusive. Their professionalism is top-tier: they were timely, communicative, and went above and beyond to accommodate our requests.

We were blown away by how quickly they delivered a highlight reel for Instagram—it was stunning and beautifully encapsulated the magic of the day. The final film? It’s something you’d see in Hollywood... It surpassed every expectation we had, and something we’ll treasure forever. We must have watched it 100 times by now.

If you’re considering Vanilla Film for your wedding or any special event, stop thinking and book them NOW. Lev and Nina don’t just make wedding films—they create memories you can relive over and over again. Thank you both for being such an integral part of our day. We couldn’t be happier!

Lev and Nina are absolute masters of their craft! Watching our wedding video feels like stepping back into that magical day, reliving all the emotions and joy we experienced. They not only captured stunning visuals and crystal-clear audio but also managed to convey the love, happiness, and essence of the entire celebration. We are beyond grateful to have this beautiful keepsake to cherish for the rest of our lives.

Their professionalism and talent exceeded all expectations, and we are so glad we chose them as our videographers. If you're looking for someone to perfectly capture your special day, look no further. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

Lev and Nina are artists of their craft!
They created the best memory for us to have forever and captured our wedding day perfectly! They were both so kind from the start and made it so easy for us throughout the day.
We highly recommend working with this talented couple. 10/10

I had the absolute pleasure of having Lev and Nina as our videographers for my wedding with my beautiful wife, Kaitlin. Let me start by saying that they are simply amazing. Their ability to capture the essence of our special day and turn it into a cinematic masterpiece is truly incredible.

Lev and Nina went above and beyond to make us feel like family. From the very beginning, they took the time to get to know us as a couple and understand our vision for our wedding video. Their personal touch and genuine care for us shone through every step of the way.

Their videography skills are unparalleled. They have an eye for capturing the most precious moments and emotions, creating a video that tells the story of our love in the most beautiful way. Every time we watch our wedding video, we are transported back to that day, reliving the joy and happiness all over again.

Not only are Lev and Nina incredibly talented, but they are also a joy to work with. They blended in seamlessly on our wedding day, making everyone feel comfortable and at ease. Their professionalism and dedication to their craft were evident throughout the entire process.

What truly sets Lev and Nina apart is their ability to be a part of our family. They celebrated with us, laughed with us, and supported us every step of the way. It felt like having close friends capturing our special day, and that made the experience even more memorable.

I cannot recommend Lev and Nina highly enough for anyone looking for videographers for their wedding. They are not only exceptional professionals but also become a cherished part of your journey. Their amazing talent, personal touch, and ability to make you feel like family will undoubtedly create a wedding video that you will treasure for a lifetime.

My husband and I were fortunate enough to have worked with Lev and Nina for our October '22 wedding and could not have asked for a better experience.

Throughout the entire process, the 2 were so incredibly friendly, attentive to detail, respectful of our our vision but also ready with great suggestions, and worked so wonderfully with our planner and the other vendors. Day-of their sweet and cheerful dispositions never wavered [throughout the entirety of the 8+ hours they worked!] and only added to the incredible energy of the celebration. Most importantly, they were seamlessly able to make themselves slip into the background when necessary, so as not to disrupt the "candid" vibe we wanted with our video. The outcome of the process was a short/highlight film that I've watched almost everyday since receiving it, as well as the most special full-length, documentary style video of the whole day, which my husband and I plan to watch every wedding anniversary.

If you're debating on whether or not videographers are worth the extra expense for your wedding, I can say without a shadow of a doubt that it was the best investment we made–all those special small moments that would otherwise be forgotten to time are right there for you to refer back to whenever you want and Nina and Lev did the most spectacular job capturing them. You needn't look further for your videographer!

Working with Nina and Lev was truly an amazing experience from start to finish. From our first intro call to our wedding day, they were so kind, creative and easy to be around. They completely understood our vision and honestly were so nice to have around on the actual wedding day - they were both such a kind, calm presence to be around with all the nerves in addition to doing an incredible job guiding us to get the shots we needed!

As for the actual wedding films, I truly can't say enough good things. Both our 5 minute shorter film and our movie-length full film are absolutely incredible! They came out better than we could have imagined. Watching them is truly the second best thing to reliving the wedding in person. They fully captured the joy, excitement, fun and all the love on film and turned it into such a beautiful final product. If you can, I would absolutely recommend getting the full length film as well as the shorter one. Being able to watch over and over again and feel the joy of the day is such a special thing.

Nina and Lev are true artists as well as lovely people. Working with them was one of the best and most important decisions we made for our big day and we couldn't be happier!
