    Nina & Lev are amazing!!

    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!!

    Kaitlin & Waseem wedding Las Vegas April 2022

    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...

    One of the best and most important decisions of our day!

    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...

    5 stars for the best husband+wife wedding videographer team!!

    Using Vanilla Film as our wedding cinematographers was one of the best wedding decisions that we made! Lev + Nina are an incredible husband and wife team, a phenomenal addition to our wedding. Their talent shines through all their content, from their highlight films, full length documentary of our wedding day, and even their IG posts. I’ve rewatched our films probably 50 times, complete with tears and laughter. Their style is unique, fun, and whimsical, exactly how we enjoyed our wedding day. If you’re looking for a video that encapsulates how intimate your wedding day is, while also capturing how lively and electric your wedding night is - Vanilla Film is the way to go!

    The perfect wedding experience!

    Lev and Nina literally saved 2020 for us. Not only were they awesome to be around from the second you meet them, but they produce incredible quality work with a very unique vision that wedding video industry really needs right now! They were the best wedding vendor I worked with and provided an incredible final product, great and easy communication, and they are a perfect edition as guests to any wedding day. I definitely hope to hire them again in the future, and can't believe how well they executed my vision, even better than I could have imagined myself! Keep crushing it guys!

    Outstanding Videographers!!!

Lev and Nina are such a generous, selfless, compassionate couple that put %150 into each film! I had my wedding during Quarantine in Seattle which was hit hard and my wedding plans were changing and canceling multiple times. Nina and Lev were there every step of the way with us and were the most positive uplifting couple that made the wedding in general so much easier! They respond so fast, go over and above to make me feel better and less stress! I couldn’t imagine having anyone else film our wedding! I would...

    Amazing Experience with Vanilla Films

    Lev and Nina are absolutely amazing cinematographers and even better people. They were so much fun to “work” with, and they were really enjoyable to be around. My husband is somewhat shy in front of the camera, but Lev and Nina put his mind at ease. Their films are of the highest video and sound quality. They were able to capture our full wedding day beautifully in an hour and twenty-minute film. We also received a stunning highlight video that was masterfully edited with the perfect clips and music choices…it literally looks like a move trailer. They really have a wonderful eye for angles and lighting, and their creativity shines in their videos. While Lev and Nina are as...

    Phenomenal wedding video service!

    Lev and Nina of Vanilla Film were such fun to have at our wedding. We found them via WeddingWire and communication was very fast and easy through email and a FaceTime session. Their style of video is what we really enjoy and I believe the videographers will adjust the mood of the films depending on the day of the wedding to keep the vibe organic. On the day of, we met at our getting ready location and they proceeded to film us all the way through the end of our reception. Lev and Nina are so kind and warm that we felt instantly comfortable and our wedding party also really enjoyed their presence. We loved the final video as the mood is exactly what we wanted and Lev and Nina made us look so good. Highly recommended!

    Highly recommend! Nina & Lev surpassed our expectations!

    My husband and I can't recommend Vanilla Film enough! Nina and Lev were so professional and easy to work with from the moment they arrived--from making us feel comfortable in front of the camera and providing clear direction during the posed shots, to capturing all the candid footage without distracting us and our guests. They brought all their gear and were well prepared to shoot outside when it started raining as well as inside our dimly lit venue. 

    We absolutely love our video!  It beautifully captures all our emotions on our wedding day. All the shots and transitions are so seamless, and the cinematic style is perfect.  They even delivered our highlight video and raw footage much earlier...

    Best Videographer

    Lev and his partner were superb. We did only meet on Skype to discuss about our wedding and the contract. Since everything was done pretty much remotely, my wife and I were doubtful about them, but when they showed up on the wedding, these guys were on time with all their equipment. We just love how they were so proactive, starting doing the work without us telling them what to do and when to do it. They were very flexible to offer the kind of service we needed. Even though it was their first time to work on that venue, they really demonstrated high level of creativeness. Overall, I would recommend because of high quality of their work and professionalism.

    Lev & Nina are so sweet, kind and talented! From the moment we met them, they immediately put us at ease. The quality of their footage, editing, and artistic ability is breathtaking. They spent the whole day with us and no one even realized we had a videographer there! They sent us our footage and highlight video after a few short weeks. I would recommend this team to anyone who is looking for a videographer who can capture the feeling and tell the story of your wedding day. So grateful to have found them.

    The Best Videographers!

    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...
