I can not recommend Leira Productions enough. Our wedding highlight video came out like a movie trailer to the best love story ever ( imo :) ). Ariel and his team were kind and fun. From the moment you book you feel important and like he cares about who you are as a couple. If you are on the on the fence about a videographer remember all you have left of that beautiful day is the video and pictures. Book a videographer and book Ariel with his team at Leira Productions. Oh! He has a drone! It's so cool. read more

WOW thank you Ariel! After spending weeks if not months researching options to film our wedding, we are beyond happy with how everything turned out. Ariel is a true pro who takes great pride in his work that shines through in the final product. My favorite part is his ability to story tell and work your emotions throughout the film. He takes you on a journey vs just mashing video and music together. We had a viewing party with our families and they have requested to watch it again multiple times since. If you're looking for a videographer, look no further! read more

What a wedding. A covid wedding at that ! You hear about things not going as planned the day of but this took the cake ! I cant thank Ariel enough for capturing all these great moments that I will cherish forever. If it wasn't for him being there the bad would have out weighed the good. The video truly captured the reason we chose to get married. It was to celebrate our union with our loved ones. It made us realize how grateful we are to have amazing family and friends in our lives that wouldn't allow for any negatively. Our fairytale Wedding happened! We absolutely loved the way the video turned out and the challenges we faced to capture them ! Areil was so very helpful and understanding of the situation. From beginning to end he made my dream day possible. We had alot of family and friends that couldnt attend due to covid. He was able to stream my ceremony live so that they can be apart of our special day. He arrived earlier and stayed later than expected. Dont worry about him being in the way of your photographer He works well with your photographer and will stay behind the scenes .He literally followed us through all mishaps and still managed to pull this off .Only those that were witness saw the "flaws". Many of these shots were in our backyard and you wouldn't have even guessed it . I wouldn't change these moments for anything in the world .I married the man of my dreams! Thank you Ariel for such a wonderful job ! We definitely will cross paths again . Side note: Due to covid and normal wedding expenses everyone wanted services paid in full upfront. This was so difficult. He was flexible with payment methods and allowed us some time. He is very efficient with the time frame in having your footage ready. He allows for editing and add ons. We did add on because that day went by so quickly and we wanted to remember every second. We are thinking of getting all the raw footage as well. Its definitely worth it to get the package . Instagram clip was amazing and different than your video so it doesn't feel that your waisting your money for just "30" seconds. He really takes the best moments and worth every penny. He walks you step by step to ensure that you can view your footage in all apps. read more

Leira Productions - Videographers Near Me

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! read more

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. read more

Ariel captured all the magic of our big day! Would certainly recommend him to others looking for beautiful video coverage of their wedding!

We are so happy that we found Ariel! We had to change our wedding plans due to COVID and needed to have a micro wedding rather then the large wedding that we originally planned. Even though we couldn't have everyone attend in person it was very important that we included all of our guests virtually. Ariel made that happen for us! We virtually streamed our wedding ceremony with the help of Ariel so that all of our out of town guests near and far could still be included in our big day. The video quality and sound was out of this world amazing. We're still getting comments from our guests on how much they enjoyed being included and how great the quality of the stream was. Ariel was so on top of everything and so easy to communicate with during the whole process. We're so grateful that we found him! read more

Excellent quality and great, kind team to work with. Timing was 2 months behind schedule on video / edit delivery due to a lot of clients but we had a great product in the end that was worth the wait. read more

Ariel was crucial in helping us get our Zoom setup working the way it did. He handled everything! We were able to even give a special hello to all the zoom attendees while watching them on a big screen. Couldn't be more grateful to Ariel and all his professional work. Highly recommend him to everyone! read more

I hired Ariel to do a video for my twin daughters second bday party and he did such a lovely job. He got shots of all the family and activities and kids and edited together seamlessly. He arrived early to set up and got an idea of the layout. He asked me about what things were important to me. He made sure to identify the grandparents and family members so he can feature them in the shots. My girls watch the video ALL the time and it's such a wonderful keepsake of them at that age. He was responsive afterwards about minor changes I wanted and got the video ready quickly. I can't wait to hire him for another event. read more

Bottom line - If we were to plan a wedding all over again, I would 100% choose Ariel and Leira Productions to capture it all! Ariel from Leira Productions was amazing to work with for videography for our wedding in November 2019. Ariel helped guide us through the elements we wanted 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. Ariel is also super down to earth, friendly, and relaxed when so many things are going on. 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 came on a great micro-site he setup, and were amazing quality. We shared them to our friends and family and they all told us how beautiful it all was and how well the video captured the day. read more

Choosing to work with Leira Productions for our wedding videography needs was one of the best decisions we made. Not only is Ariel easy to work with and get along with, but he is also extremely talented. The videos he produced are thoughtful, creative, and captured every detail of our wedding perfectly. Ariel truly exceeded our expectations! read more

Ariel and his team were incredibly professional and a lot of fun to have document our big day. His unique attention to detail in shots and care about quality (both picture and sound) made for an amazing video of our wedding that we are proud and excited to share with family and friends. He had great communication before, during, and after the wedding. Highly recommend!! read more

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!! read more

I'm very happy with Ariel's service. We love the video. Ahead of the wedding day, we had discussions over the phone and via email several times, going over everything so that I was part of the production. He goes above and beyond. The edits are amazing and I think he did a great job capturing the essence of my wedding. read more

SO happy to be able to share this review of Leira Productions. Ariel was absolutely fantastic to work with for my daughter's wedding! He went way above and beyond to accommodate some very tricky requests and never batted an eye. He's very creative and thoughtful. I trusted him to record one of the best days of our lives and it was a VERY good decision! read more

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!! read more

Working with Ariel was seamless, and the video he put together for us exceeded all our expectations. He made something that didn't just document our day, but captured the feeling with artistry. read more

We were absolutely thrilled when we saw Leira Production's video of our daughter's wedding! Ariel captured not only the beauty and joy of the day, but our daughter's personality, as well. He caught intimate moments even while keeping a low profile during the ceremony and the bridal party's preparations earlier in the day. One of the things that made his video stand out was that he used the speeches and rabbi's words to narrate the video, syncing and blending it perfectly with occasional visuals of the speaker. Hard to describe, but beautiful to see! He also used drones -- I assume, though never saw them! -- to present an overview of the venue and perfectly set the stage for what was to come. The couple was intent on their wedding being "casual but elegant," and Ariel's video illustrated that beautifully. You can't experience the whole wedding when you're in the middle of it. With Ariel's video, we get to see the whole thing over and over. Of everything we spent, I'd say we got the most for our money with the videography. I can't recommend him highly enough! read more

Ariel of Leira Productions was a dream! He traveled from LA to Portland, Oregon for our wedding. We felt very supported by Ariel throughout the entire process. During our initial conversation, he took the time to ask my partner and I about our video vision and expectations. His questions helped us further clarify what we wanted, and he was available to answer questions and work through ideas. On the day of, Ariel showed up early to scope out the wedding venue and got some drone shots (yeaaa!!). His presence was subtle in the way that I didn't feel as if I was being watched the entire time (I don't like being on camera, so this was really comforting for me); he was respectful of space and sensitive to individual needs. The final video moved us through a whole range of emotions -- joy, tears, gratitude, laughter, excitement, and much more. The best part about watching the video was I could glimpse into so many moments I didn't even know happened that evening. Ariel's attention to detail was impeccable, and he combined music and video superbly. I wholeheartedly recommend Ariel of Leira Productions. read more
