Last year, we had the absolute pleasure of working with Balerina Films for our wedding, and I’m thrilled to share that it was a truly fantastic experience.
From the beginning, their professionalism and creative vision stood out. The engagement shoot was honestly one of our favorite parts of the entire process—I would highly recommend it to anyone who’s on the fence.
While their pricing is on the higher end, it’s well aligned with market standards and absolutely justified by the quality of their work. The team was easy to collaborate with, and their attention to detail captured the magic of our day beautifully. We received over 2,000 photos and a two-hour cinematic film—both of which are now treasured keepsakes.
The only downside was the long turnaround time for the final edits. There were moments when we felt we had to nudge the process along a bit, and the wait was longer than expected. That said, once we saw the final product, it was abundantly clear that it had been worth the wait.
In the end, I wouldn’t have chosen anyone else to capture our wedding. Balerina Films delivered exceptional work and their commitment to our story was evident throughout. If you’re looking for outstanding quality and a team that truly cares about your vision, I can’t recommend them enough.
Thank you, Balerina Films, for being such an important part of our special day!

Working with this incredible team of videographers and photographers was an absolute joy from start to finish.
From the moment they arrived, they brought a vibrant energy that perfectly matched the spirit of our celebration. Their fun, lighthearted personalities instantly put everyone at ease, allowing us—and our guests—to feel completely comfortable and natural in front of the camera.
It was immediately clear that not only do they have amazing chemistry as a team, but they also bring a contagious enthusiasm that makes them a dream to work with. Their ability to capture the essence of our story through their lens was nothing short of magical.
We are endlessly grateful to Arina and her team for the beautiful memories they helped preserve, and we feel incredibly lucky to have had them as part of our wedding weekend.
We couldn’t recommend them more highly.

We absolutely loved working with Arina and the entire Balerina Films team for our wedding photography and videography!
From the start, they made us feel completely at ease—natural, relaxed, and never awkward in front of the camera. By the end of the wedding weekend, they felt more like friends than vendors, which made the entire experience even more special.
Every piece of content they delivered—from the engagement shoot and same-day edit to the full highlights video, photo gallery, cinematic film, and even a few bonus Instagram reels—was simply flawless. Their attention to detail and storytelling ability were truly next level.
They even provided live streaming services so our family abroad could be part of the celebrations, which meant the world to us. The full wedding film was packed with emotion and still managed to perfectly reflect the fun and joy of every event across our three-day celebration.
While the turnaround time was a bit longer than anticipated, the final result made it completely worth the wait. In fact, we were so happy with the entire experience that my family is bringing Balerina Films back to capture my sister’s upcoming wedding!
If you’re still looking for the best photo and video team—look no further. Balerina Films is everything you want and more.
