It was exactly what my husband and I were looking for. Becky was the best at communicating and making sure everything was in place for us. It was so nice (and important) that we met with Becky, Ben and Aaron a couple days before our big day so that Aaron, our main videographer, could get to know us and our wants for the wedding day. He absolutely nailed it and was always on point to be where he needed to be and manage the team so that they were in place to capture the perfect moment. Our creative film for our wedding is more than what we imagined and truly fits to us personally. Look no further, because it's a guarantee they will give you the unique film that fits you as individuals. Well worth every penny. Thank You LEAP Weddings!

Ben was really great to speak to for our first conversation and discovery to understand what we were hoping to have captured throughout our wedding day. Then Bailey took over to coordinate things leading up to the big day and she was speedy to communicate, had suggestions for us on timing and number of hours to purchase, and kept us in the loop on timing for our questionnaire as well as who we would be working with on the day of as our filmmaker. Ian was our lead filmmaker for the day of the event and we could not be more grateful for what we created for us to capture the day. We got the video back in just over 2 months (WOW - so incredibly fast!!!) and watched it the other night for the first time and were blown away with how he captured every moment, our silliness with each other and with our family/friends, how he transitioned from moment to moment to tell the full story and how beautiful the entire video turned out. On the wedding day itself, the team was prompt, easy to communicate with and made it feel like there were not even cameras there. It was so easy for us to just be ourselves and that came through in the final video! We had initially been hesitant to do a video because of how much we had been spending on the full wedding but saw a sample video LEAP had done at Artifact Events (our venue) and fell in love with their work. Thank you Ben, Bailey, Ian and the full LEAP Team for blowing our expectations out of the water and for giving us the gift of such a beautiful video/film that we can have forever to remember our wedding day by.

Words can't describe how thankful we are for 312 Films. Our wedding video is beyond stunning..it's something we'll cherish forever. You can feel the heart, care, and creativity that went into every single frame. These memories are truly priceless, and because of your team, we get to relive them for the rest of our lives. You gave us the greatest gift of being able to relive the day over and over again, and we'll never stop being grateful.

They are prompt and responsive so you don't need to keep emailing them to reach out or remind them of things. They pay attention during your meetings so you don't end up repeating yourself- they understand exactly what you're looking for/what kind of couple you are/what you'll end up caring about and then make a super individualized video for you. They gave the perfect amount of direction to us throughout the day, so my husband and I look natural- not awkward or forced- but we have all of the gorgeous romantic/epic moments you'd want in a wedding video. Anna is SUPER creative so she had me do little things for the camera that came out GORGEOUS (ex: she had me walk down the hallway and open the double doors to my bridal suite and I look like a QUEEN in that shot). They even split up- so Anna filmed my morning, while Artem filmed my husband's morning-before coming together for the 1st look and rest of the day's events and the film product ended up so cohesive with such an epic style. I think because they're two married artists, they have a deep, almost telepathic understanding of what will work so Anna and Artem would be filming us without having to talk to one another and interrupt/ruin a candid shot as it was unfolding or make us reenact things. These 2 can communicate just by looking at each other so they were able to capture us genuinely laughing or talking and those little natural soundbite pearls made the video extra special for us. Anna and Artem are such pleasant, loving, genuinely empathetic people that made a stressful day feel safe and relaxed. They have such a wonderful disposition and energy. I spent over 12 hours with them and never one time felt irritated, even during moments of stress (which you will inevitably have on your wedding day!). Lastly- Anna and Artem worked super well with my 2 photographers- which I didn't realize would be so important! 312Film would create a situation or give us direction on something to do and it gave our photographers some of their best shots/our favorite pictures. If you're shopping around- just take my advice and hire 312Film. You will not regret it. They are worth every penny and I'd use them again in a heartbeat!
