HELLO, I’M ARIEL, A LOS ANGELES BAR AND BAT MITZVAH VIDEOGRAPHER

And the founder and creative force behind Leira Productions

In addition to having had the honor of serving as a bar mitzvah videographer for many Los Angeles families, I’ve also had my own bar mitzvah and attended countless others for my family and friends. In short, I know exactly which essential moments to capture. 

But more importantly, I know from experience that the best films are not about reliving every minute exactly as it happened. They’re about feeling the pride and joy all over again. And being able to share that feeling with anyone who couldn’t be there. 

That’s what I bring to bar and bat mitzvah videography: emotional storytelling. 

If you want a quality, story-driven film of your teen’s mitzvah, we should talk.

Have a question about hiring a bar mitzvah videographer? 

  • Rates start at $4,300, but we will share a custom estimate for you after we talk.

  • Yes; in addition to filming many bar and bat mitzvahs, our founder, Ariel, had his own bar mitzvah back in the day, and as a part of the Jewish community in Los Angeles, he’s attended many bar and bat mitzvahs of family and friends.

  • The options vary, depending on what’s important to you. We will walk you through your options when we talk.

  • Yes, we are available to travel anywhere.

  • You will receive your final film within four months of your event. It takes some time to select the shots, edit, and choose music to tell the story, but it’s well worth it.

  • No, we will not send you all the raw footage (trust us, you don’t want hundreds of hours of random film…). But, if there are certain scenes that don’t make it into the final films that you want us to send you on their own, we can discuss options.

Kind Words

    “Ariel was so easy to work with and did such a beautiful job with our videos. He knows how to get a bar mitzvah boy to take direction for the videography and everyone in the family had a great time working with him. We will cherish these videos forever!”
