PLANNING YOUR WEDDING IS HARD ENOUGH. WORKING WITH US WON’T BE.

“Out of all of our vendor reviews, this was one of the hardest to write because it’s merely impossible to put into words the amount of gratitude and respect we have for Leap Weddings and the team that created our wedding video. To put it simply, they gave us one of the best gifts of all, and that is the ability to relive each special moment from July 3rd as if it were happening for the first time.”

Dina B.

“The LEAP Weddings team is charismatic, professional and so easy to work with. Their product is unparalleled in style and quality. If you’re looking for a creative film that will truly capture your special day, we highly recommend LEAP Weddings!”

Justin C.

“If you are on the fence about getting a videographer, do it. The day goes by in a blur so having the video footage to play back is huge. It lets you reminisce with family/friends on all the things that happen throughout the day.

And don’t just use any videographer. Use LEAP! I promise they will be the best vendor you work with.”

Paul C.

“As a former wedding planner, when it came time for my own wedding I knew I only wanted to work with Leap Weddings as our videographer. For my own clients, they were the only company I recommended because they seamlessly mixed incredible art, talent, professionalism with genuine joy on the wedding day.”

Ashley L.

“…And when we got the final product!? My Dad’s first response was: “we got our money’s worth!” If that isn’t a rave review from a father of the bride, I don’t know what is! Everyone who watched the video sobs happy tears, and the video truly captured our day and who we are as a couple. I could not be more thrilled to have this masterpiece for eternity to commemorate a day that flew by so quickly!”

Sterling B.

“He said he had so much with Ben and Josh and they made it so easy and relaxing. A month later we were out for St. Patrick’s Day downtown and Bryan goes “you should text Ben and see if he’s out”. If after only one whole day you feel like you’re good friends with someone, chances are they’re pretty awesome. Our parents and bridal party had nothing but good things to say about them.”

Courtney S.

“Ben and Josh will forever hold a special place in my heart because they were by our side on such an important day and then they gave us the most priceless gift of being able to relive it over and over in the most extraordinary way. Leap Weddings exceeded my obscenely high expectations in every way.”

Stephanie L.

“The difference between Leap Weddings and every other video team you will find is that they make your wedding into a movie while providing an amazing set of personalities. The family interviews, drone shots, and detail coverage. They organize it all to make the event just as special (if not more) than you actually remember it. It is one of our favorite (if not THE favorite) things about the wedding, next to actually getting married. :P”

Zee G.

“If you are planning a wedding, and you are thinking perhaps just maybe you might like to have the incomparable team at Leap document your big day, this is no time for indecision. Your married self will call you a hero. Sign the contract this very minute.”

Rozanne L.

“As other reviewers mention, LEAP doesn’t come cheap – but what you get is worth every dollar and more. Photos and video are the things that you get to take with you from the wedding day long after it has passed, and you can go back to them over and over–and when they’re done this freaking good, you WILL!”

Nerissa I.

“My husband and I did a TON of research before selecting our wedding videographer. We are SO glad that we selected Leap and beyond thrilled with how our wedding video turned out. As my dad said, I think Spielberg produced this.”

Carly O.

“I cannot fully describe how much we cherish our video. Of all the expenses of our wedding, this is the easiest one to say – absolutely worth it, without a doubt. Hire LEAP, you will not go wrong.”

Allison T.

“Not only did they add to the happiness of our day, but they really created a piece of art that will always take us right back to that moment. Best decision ever to hire these guys!”

Brittany J.
