“We hired Ariel after going back and forth about spending money on videography and could not be more thrilled and grateful we chose to go with him! Ariel was quite the stealth videographer and obtained footage I don’t remember anybody being in the room to take! He captured our day so beautifully and vividly captures the joyful emotion we all experienced that day. The livestream quality of our ceremony for friends & family to join us was far superior to any virtual wedding I’d attended this year (which was several!). You won’t be disappointed, and if you’re on the fence about videography, I assure you it is SO WORTH the investment and Ariel is the best! Videography documents the day completely differently from photography and holds so much more emotion and captures moments you’ll want to remember forever!”

“Ariel is an amazing videographer/livestreamer and an even better person! Ariel did our livestream for our SURPRISE wedding and we LOVED everything about him. His professionalism, energy, knowledge, and technology/product added so much to our wedding experience, and working with him was an absolute pleasure.

From the beginning, Ariel was the perfect combination of professional and fun, allowing us to feel comfortable while learning about his craft. It was easy to tell he knew what he was doing but he wanted to blend in with our team and support us through the whole process. One of his top priorities was working alongside and in collaboration with our other vendors (videography, photography, DJ, etc), and he never wanted/needed the accolades to do his job well.

For our wedding, Ariel coordinated and produced our livestream from beginning to end using the DJ’s sound in conjunction with his own cameras, along with putting together a picture slideshow and including a pre-recorded video of us for our livestreaming guests. The livestream was AMAZING and allowed our virtual guests (and us after) to be a part of the action from multiple angles with clear sound and picture. He made us look so much better than we could have imagined.

For all our guests who missed the livestream, the video is still available for viewing for up to a year after the event, and he has sent us a high-resolution copy already in less than 2 weeks since our wedding. Everything about working with Ariel has been more than we could have asked for, and we are so thankful to have Ariel on our team!”

“Ariel truly blew us away with our wedding videos. Even before we received the final cut, he was such a pleasure to work with. He was always so accommodating during the planning process, even when we had to change our original plans due to COVID. On the day of the wedding, he was super professional, unobtrusive, and we barely noticed what or when he was shooting until we got the final film and realized just how much footage he was able to capture. Because we had a micro-wedding, he even set up a Live Stream for our friends/family who couldn’t be there, so that was an extra special service (which also turned out great!). Everything was perfect, from the camera movement down to the music selection and editing. I would highly recommend every single (engaged) couple to hire Leira Productions!!”

“We are so incredibly grateful for everything that Ariel and the Leira Production team did to capture our wedding. We originally did not give much thought to videography, but our wedding planner introduced us to Leira Production and we are SO grateful he did.

Ariel took time before the wedding to get to know us, our history, and learn what was important about the wedding well in advance. He proactively reached out to our photographer, sound team, and other vendors so that day of, he knew the entire run of show and had planned exactly where to be to capture the best moments.

When our video was ready, Leira Productions created a teaser for us on social media, a one minute clip we could share, and a full video that captured the entire day. Ariel’s ability to mix our vows with moments of celebration, dance, toasts, and laughter was truly remarkable. He thought of everything from keeping our color palette and fonts in the video for continuity to even checking the licensing for music before sharing with us so we could post on Facebook without any trouble.

Hands-down this was the best way we have been able to remember our wedding and it was an incredible experience working with Ariel. We are so grateful and cannot recommend Leira Productions enough if you are thinking about a videographer for your big day.”

“One of the best vendors we had hired for our wedding! Leira Productions (Ariel, the main videographer) was responsive, professional, efficient, and totally affordable! The day after our first phone meeting, Ariel had already contacted our church coordinator and figured out the whole layout of the church, such as the number of videographers and equipments required, so he could accurately provide us with a quote. Unlike a lot of vendors in the wedding industry (perhaps just in LA), who charge you a tremendous amount of $$ for any tiny amount of additional service, Ariel was very reasonable in his pricing. The end result came out to be like a mini movie, and we and all of our family members were very pleased. My husband and I are grateful for Ariel and his team’s hard work in preserving our special day so beautifully in a digital memory. Highly recommended!!”

“Above and beyond. Ariel was excited and open to all our very specific requests for what we wanted to be preserved from our ceremony and reception, and was responsive and available in the lead up to our big day for consultation. He made himself clear on what equipment he was bringing and what he needed from us well ahead of time so there were no surprises to contend with on the day. He and his team were unobtrusive during the whole event; we got our videos back and I see angles and shots that I am astonished to believe I don’t remember seeing anyone with a video camera in front of me. Finally, the end result is beyond what we could imagine. The clarity of the video, the editing, all the color and lighting matches from shot to shot, every word is legible (even though it was competing with an ocean wind as our ceremony was outdoors) and he provided us with exactly what we asked for plus his own touches that we didn’t envision but were amazed to see. As one friend commented upon seeing our “highlight” video, “This isn’t a wedding video - this is a pilot for a TV show that I want to keep watching!” All this for a competitive and reasonable fee, and compared to what so many other vendors are charging, Leira Productions is who you want to create not only a record of the event but they really capture the feeling and emotion of the event; it was like living it all over again. And again and again.”

“#1 reason why we loved working with Ariel at Liera Productions - Ariel is so super down to earth, friendly, and relaxed when so many things are going on. Ariel worked with us to outline the elements of what to capture in our wedding video. On the wedding day, Ariel was extremely professional and knew exactly what to do and where to be, and was able to blend into the scene seamlessly. He was able to capture so many amazing moments, and was really great working with us and our families through the whole day. The finished videos were amazing quality. He posted them to a micro-site for us, and we shared them to our friends and family. They all told us how beautiful it all was and how well the video captured the day. If we were to plan a wedding all over again, I would 100% choose Ariel and Leira Productions to capture it all.”
