    The BEST videographers

    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!!

    Such a lovely experience! Highly recommend!

    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!!

    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!!

    Book them now, don’t overthink it. They will exceed your expectations in every way.

    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.

    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.

    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 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.

    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 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!

    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 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!

    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!

    Lev + Nina were so great to work with, their love for each other and their craft shine through their projects, and they are able to capture all the love, intimacy, and fun within the wedding day. They are really the complete package.

    Lev, Nina, I can’t thank you enough for the joy you have brought my husband and I with your films. These memories will last forever, thanks so much.

    Lev & Nina are awesome! From the initial kick off call we felt we were in good hands. They were very professional and really listened to what we wanted. They captured all our most important moments and more importantly they captured our vision and love. They were easy to work with and delivered our videos in a timely manner. We loved the final videos and their artistic expression. All of our friends and family loved it!

    Best in the business!

    We simply do not have enough words to describe how AMAZING it was working with Vanilla Film. Through the entire wedding planning process, they were there to answer any questions we had along the way. We also changed our video package multiple times as we got closer to the wedding, realizing we basically wanted it all! They were so patient & kind to adjust with whatever we were looking for. The day-of was so magical. Unfortunately, Nina was out sick on the week of our wedding, but they quickly had another team member step in to help Lev, who was also incredible! Lev was so nice, gentle, and gave us so many ideas to capture the day perfectly. He even stayed a little longer to get extra footage of our friends & family dancing!

    Having a video of our wedding day is one of the best decisions we could have made. We are so excited and blessed to have worked with Vanilla Film and get to treasure a video re-cap of our special day! We can’t thank you enough!

    Made our small wedding so special

    My husband and I eloped during covid so the video was the biggest part of our smallest wedding. So I spent days to search for the right videographer(s) who can not only capture that special moment of our lives but also deliver our stories, our vibes. We are introverts but when we are with each other and feeling comfortable, we bring the goofy, bold side out of each other and I wanted the video to show that. It was a lot to ask I know (lol) but Lev and Nina DELIVERED and more!! They are delightful people to be around so the shoot was a breeze. We had SO MUCH FUN and the shoot was filled with great conversation, (note that we are introverts! They KNOW how to make ppl feel comfortable) And they have a great focus on details and make sure they have all the shots they need, and they make sure you are on the same page with them regarding what to expect, etc. We still talk about how great decision it was to work with them, so if you are pondering over whether or not you should hire them, just book a consultation already! You'll thank yourself later when you watch the video :)

    Incredible!

    Vanilla Film is a dream to work with. From the first contact with Vanilla Film, to receiving the final product, we could not have asked for anything better. For most people, especially for me and my husband, having a camera around is not something that we are used to. Lev and Nina, from the moment they walked in, made us feel comfortable and confident. Now we have a video that captured true and raw emotion that takes us back to our very special day. If you are looking for a videographer, look no further!! We are grateful beyond words.

    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!!!

    If there was a way I could give them 10 stars I would ⭐️ It’s hard to put into words how amazing Lev and Nina are. 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 recommend adding a pre video. It was a blast and so much to hang out with Nina and Lev alone on the wedding and they already knew us and how we are before the wedding day and it felt like good friends enjoying our wedding with us instead of our videographers!

    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 sweet as vanilla, there is nothing vanilla about their services. Prepare to cry tears of joy as you watch and remember your special day that only Vanilla Films could flawlessly capture.

    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 than expected.

    We are forever grateful for this gift that allows us to relive one of the most important days of our lives. Thank you, Nina and Lev!  Your work is amazing!

    1 of best decision made

    Hi Lev and Nina,

    Thank you again for being able to be part of our special day and capturing the most unforgettable moments. (one of the best decisions made)

    We absolutely loved both the featured film and highlight footage. Not only were we blown away with your ability to edit, produce, and capture sentimental moments, we were also amazed at your ability to blend in both background sound and music so well with the footage. (Bravo!!!)
    The cost were competitive/better than the other vendors we researched (It's definitely a commitment for videography, but one that is well worth the investment).

    Once again, thank you for capturing our special day and very making it so easy to work along side you during our big day.

    The single best vendor hire of our wedding

    Hiring Lev and Nina for our wedding video was the best vendor decision my now husband and I made during our planning process. We almost didn't even hire video because every portfolio/website/video we had seen prior, we hated (I am SO particular, and everything we saw prior to finding Vanilla Films... was overdone, cheesy, basic and cringey LOL, sorry for the truth). They are worth every dollar. They are worth more than the value most people put on video as photo typically trumps video in this process.

    Lev and Nina are such talented artists, they are quick, they require NO direction (seriously, trust them and let them do what they do best) and on top of that, they are the most respectful, kind, easy people to work with.

    I enjoyed working with Vanilla film. They are very professional and quick to respond. It’s definitely the best wedding video I’ve ever seen. I highly recommend Vanilla Film to anyone who’s looking to capture their big day in a cinematic style!

    Would absolutely recommend!

    Lev and Nina captured our day perfectly and we love the finished product! We were able to meet them before the wedding and they were so fun and professional, we knew they would do an amazing job. The day of the wedding, they were able to film everything without being intrusive and I'm so glad they were there! Not just because we now have a beautiful film to relive our special day, but also because it felt like we had two extra friends at the wedding!

    I would definitely recommend Lev and Nina to anyone and if you are on the fence about hiring videographers, please do it! My advice to brides now would be put aside money in your budget for a video and cut costs somewhere else because it is so worth it!

    Fantastic videography team!

    Lev and Nina were a fantastic videography team to have for our wedding day. We are so glad that we chose to hire videographers because we have loved watching our wedding videos and sharing them with our family and friends. Nina and Lev did an amazing job and captured our day beautifully. They did a great job capturing the mood of the day as well as the little details that made it so special, and we loved their editing style. They were professional, friendly, made us feel at ease, and were fun to have around on the wedding day. Cannot recommend them enough!

    Creative Authenticity

    Lev and Nina had surprised us with the best Christmas gift as we had recieved our wedding video that day! It was on repeat the whole day for our family to watch. They truly captured the most important day of our lives that was so authentic. They were so comfortable to work with from start to finish. We were at first questioning if we needed a video but with Lev and Nina’s creativity it was more than we could have ever wanted. Thank you Nina and Lev for the best experience, you guys were truly amazing!

    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.

    If you're thinking of hiring Lev and Nina to do your wedding video, stop thinking and do it! We had such a great experience with them from our very first talk up until receiving our videos and being blown away by what they put together for us. They are such sweet people and incredibly talented videographers, we honestly cant imagine finding anyone better to capture our day in the way that they did! They shared with us such special moments that we didnt even realize were so special until we saw them in our videos, and added all the fun and craziness that went down at our wedding. I could go on and on, but they are the best and you wont regret making them part of your special day!

    Nina and Lev were so great to work with! They beautifully captured our day in the wedding highlight and feature films. We’ve gotten such wonderful compliments from our family and friends. They were great at making us feel comfortable on camera and directing us in shots as well as capturing the candid moments. They were very responsive in all our emails and were accommodating to changes that we wanted made in our feature film. Getting a videographer for our wedding was completely worth it and we are so glad we hired Nina and Lev!

    Lev and Nina are incredible! We booked them early without actually meeting them in person - the price was right and Lev was easy to talk to in our initial discussions, so decision made! Fast forward 7-8 months, and OH MY. They delivered. Nina and Lev are the sweetest people, who can make anyone feel comfortable in front of the camera! They are masters at their craft and do an incredible job directing their clients, while still making you feel like you're actually just enjoying the moment candidly rather than filming. There is also something to say when your videographer and photographer gel SO well. Thank you, Lev and Nina, for such a wonderful experience working with the two of you! We can't wait to see the final product!

    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.

    Lev and his wife Nina were amazing! Lev was super responsive and flexible with our payment plan. They were so great the day of the wedding, super professional, and providing great direction and generally being really easy to be around during somewhat stressful times leading up to the ceremony. Rory and I are so glad we trusted Vanilla Film with our important day. We look forward to seeing the final product soon!

    I researched lots of videographers until I found VanillaFilm. I fell in love with their videos on Vimeo!
    From our first conversation on the phone to the last email I have enjoyed every interaction. They were on time (early even!), made us feel relaxed and then became pretty much invisible the rest of the day, yet able to capture shots I didn't remember they were there for. I got my video within the timeline quoted, and it looked amazing!
    Lev and Nina were friendly, easy to work with, professional and always made me feel like I was in trusted hands. 
    I highly recommend VanillaFilm to everyone, they are truly talented filmmakers.

    Lev and Nina makes the absolute best video to your personal style and taste! They just know the right moments to capture that brought about so many emotions (tears, laughter, and joy) and now I have for a lifetime to enjoy.
    We received our video much quicker than anticipated and it is awesome! The video are high quality and so well put together - we can't stop watching and reliving our day! We went back and forth on whether or not to hire a videographer and we are so happy we did - thanks to VanillaFilm! Great couple to work with!
