LOVEEEEEE cannot thank you all enough. AMAZINGGGGG! These came out so perfect.Vitalii and Lena were one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! The high energy they brought helped add excitement to our day and the video result from the day was pure magic! Not only did they capture the best moments, they also brought a strong videography style that really captured the essence of our wedding. Watching the video we laughed, cried and danced along. I cannot recommend them enough!

If I could give more than 5 stars to rate Chapala Weddings, I would!!! Vitalli and Lena were absolutely EXCELLENT!!! They were both very professional. They gave us what we wanted and more! Everyone we've shown the video and pictures have told us the quality were very high-end and very professional in appearance. Vitalli communicated well and promptly answered any of our questions and requests! It was awesome to have a fun and creative couple capture all of the special moments at my son's and new daughter in law's Wedding day. Both Lena and Vitalli were able to record their beautiful and magical LOVE story on film that we will AlWAYS treasure and will want to watch over and over again. It is great to be able to relive the moments that are beautifully captured on film. I want to Thank Chapala Weddings for sharing and for being a WONDERFUL part of their Wedding day.

On January 3rd, 2025, we celebrated our wedding at The Ritz-Carlton, New Orleans, and Chapala Weddings captured every moment more beautifully than we could have ever imagined. From the quiet excitement of getting ready to the magic of our second-line parade through the French Quarter, the emotion of our ceremony, and the joy of our reception, they preserved every detail with such care and artistry. Looking through our photos and video feels like stepping right back into that day—reliving every smile, every tear, and every unforgettable moment. Chapala Weddings didn’t just document our wedding; they told our love story in the most authentic and heartfelt way. We are beyond grateful for their talent, professionalism, and the memories they’ve given us to cherish forever!
