    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!

    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!

    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.

    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!!

    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!

    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.

    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!

    We are blown away!

    Being a wedding photographer for 7+ years, I understand the importance of documenting one of the most important days of someone's life...their wedding. My wife and I both understand that this was going to be an investment and we didn't want the best price, but rather we wanted the best value. There are many options when searching for a wedding videographer, but when we stumbled upon Aperina Studio's work it shined above the competition. After viewing a number of wedding films in Vitaly's portfolio, my wife and I were both impressed by the quality, consistency, and emotional value of his work. Once we spoke with Vitaly and learned about his approach to weddings we booked right away.

    During our wedding day, Vitaly and his brother David knocked it out of the park with both professionalism and competency. They arrived early, stayed late, and were quick to adapt to any ideas we threw their way.

    Lastly, the final product is nothing short of amazing. Every time we watch our wedding film, we're blown away. They nailed it! Our film makes us laugh, makes us tear up, and makes us 100% grateful we invested in Aperina Studios. 10/10 across the board!

    The Best Investment We Made on our Wedding

    I cannot express enough how impressed I am with the Aperina team! From start to finish, Vitaliy provided the best service of all of our wedding vendors. He took the time to get to know us and find out what was important to us, and the video he created truly captured the essence of us and the beauty of our wedding. I cannot say enough what a talented, professional, and wonderful person Vitaliy is. His videos will take your breath away! Absolutely, 100% the best investment we made on our wedding day!

    Amazing experience!

    The Aperina team is phenomenal! They were amazing to work with. They were responsive, professional and exceptionally helpful (I am not Indian, but planned an Indian wedding, and Vitaly helped me every step of the way). Aperina was incredibly patient and flexible as our plans constantly changed due to Covid 19.
    During our wedding weekend Aperina was punctual, creative and so much fun to work with. We had a lot of laughs behind the scenes.
    The end result: our video is absolutely breathtaking. They intertwined our cultures so exquisitely, both of our families were moved to tears. My favorite part is that they captured everyone dancing with a drone, I had no idea! It’s such phenomenal footage! Thank you Aperina for our incredible memories.

    Highly Recommend

    Choosing Aperina Studios was one of the best decisions I could have made when it came to planning my wedding. I had total faith and trust in Paul and Vitaliy to do an amazing job, and I was never stressed when it came to photography and cinematography. I absolutely loved working with them, and highly recommend them to all my friends who are getting married. The team goes above and beyond what is expected. I remember there was a moment, during one of my pre wedding events, when the film ran out. I remember Paul running to grab new film from his car, honestly, he was back within a blink of an eye. I am not exaggerating, that's just how quick they are! I appreciate these two so much, they helped capture such beautiful memory. I still gasp when I watch the wedding videos and scroll through the photos.

    I highly recommend using Aperina Studios. They will be our cinematographer and photographer for life!!

    Amazing team at Aperina

    We hired Aperina Studios for both wedding cinematography and photography originally and have since had Paul take all of our family photoshoots! Our wedding day went smoothly and they captured every last detail of that day. We love our video and photos! We received our video and photos way sooner than expected and the quality and professionalism was impressive. He is extremely flexible and was able to work around several date changes, both our wedding date and some last minute photoshoot changes. Even after moving out of state, we still traveled to Sacramento for our photoshoots. Paul does such amazing work! Overall, great customer service, very responsive and a great team to work with. Definitely recommend hiring Aperina Studios for both photography and video. They are a great team and work very hard to make sure they get every last capture perfectly.

    Look no further for a videographer

    My husband and I booked Aperina Studios as soon as we got engaged, as we had been following their work on social media and they do an amazing job! Vitaliy (the main videographer) made it really easy to set up an appointment to meet with him and discuss our vision for our wedding day video. Vitaliy was EXTREMELY knowledgeable, accommodating, and professional throughout the entire planning process. During the wedding, him and his team were extremely professional and made it very easy for my husband and I to be in front of the video camera! They knew EXACTLY what they were doing, even though our venue was a tricky one to film in, and worked hard and diligently the entire duration of the wedding day! We absolutely cannot wait to see our wedding video! We love Aperina Studios and their team and hope that you look no further for an AMAZING wedding videography experience and book Aperina Studios!

    Aperina Studios's reply:

    Awww. Thank you so much! It was such an honor to being part of your wedding day! The footage we captured from your wedding (and of you two) is amazing! I'm confident we will be able to tell a beautiful story through our film.

    Professional and delivered beyond expectations

    Aperina delivered videos beyond our wildest dreams. I cannot thank them enough. The whole team was extremely professional and easy to work with. My husband and I were debating on even having a video and we are so happy that we did and that we chose Aperina. The final wedding video brought back all the amazing memories and we were able to relive the moment. It was so well done and my friends and family described it as a real "Hollywood movie" If you are looking for a team to capture the best day of your life, then Aperina is the right choice!

    Amazing Team!

    My mother in law was recommended Aperina Studios by our family friend who had their amazing wedding photography and videography from Paul and Vitaliy, and this team definitely exceeded our expectations!

    I had a call with Paul several weeks before our wedding and went over every detail of our 4 day wedding celebration. He asked all the right questions and wanted to make sure he captured what my husband and I valued most for our wedding. During the wedding week, Paul and his team knew exactly where to be and what photos to take. My husband and I rarely take photos and are completely clueless on how to pose, so we appreciate Paul directing us from the angle of our chin down to the placement of our fingers.

    Vitaliy and his team captured so much footage behind the scenes that I was floored when we saw our final wedding video! There were drone shots of the Bay Bridge, crane footage of my cousins' dance, action shots of the dance floor, and much more that captured the essence of our wedding. It's true what people say - the wedding happens so quickly that by the end of it, you can't remember all the details with the adrenaline and excitement. I'm so glad we can look back on the video and remember how happy everyone was at the biggest party of our lives.

    Excellent!

    Overall, I am totally satisfied! We had so much fun getting our wedding pictures taken by Paul with Aperina studios. He is professional, creative, talented, and so easy to work with. The pictures were sent to us almost immediately after the photo shoot. They all turned out great with each picture perfectly capturing the emotion of the day! You will absolutely love your experience with Paul!
    Excellent service, great to work with, with the best quality of pictures! He will make the best out of your big day!

    Amazing Experience

    If you are looking for an amazing, professional, and reliable cinematography and photography team, no need to keep looking. Booking Aperina Studios was my first decision towards wedding planning. I had been following their work on social media and so booking them was a must. They really know what they’re doing. We received our photos and video very quickly and they exceeded our expectations. Absolutely breathtaking. I always feel awkward having pictures taken of me because I don’t necessarily know how to pose but Paul would tell me exactly where to tilt my head, how to place my hands, and just was very detailed oriented. Therefore, the photos and video weren’t awkward in any way but looked really natural and captured our story. Thank you so much Paul and Vitaliy for making our big day extra special!

    Paul was an amazing photographer. We loved how our photos turned out. He was patient with us and very calm. Every aspect of photoshoot was perfected because of him. He listened to our ideas and incorporated some of his own which turned out great. Definitely hiring him for our next shoot.
