We absolutely loved working with the Balerina team! From our first call to the post-wedding emails, the team was professional and communicative. We had a multi-day wedding with a same-day-edit shown at our reception - and WOW was it the most incredible video - creative, artistic, capturing the emotions of the events and incredibly polished. The team was a pleasure to work with throughout the weekend - always on time, helped us to feel comfortable (my husband and I are not influencers and do not love taking a lot of photos :), gave us helpful direction - and the product quality spoke for itself. Big thank you to the entire team - Lera, Lesya, Alex, Diana, Max! Highly recommend working with Balerina and we are so grateful that our special weekend was captured so elegantly!
Arina and her entire team is the best in the industry. She is a true artist and her creative vision is exemplary. She will go out of her way to make sure you’re comfortable. She communicates very well and was perfectly on time (even early) with providing us with our photos & videos. The only thing you have left from your wedding are your memories, some gifts and your pictures. These are pictures that will go on your wall and on your phone screensaver which you see daily. Your children & grandchildren will watch that video for years to come. My biggest takeaway from my wedding planning was that Arina was the best investment I made and I am so grateful to her for her work. Everything came out just how I imagined it would look and I had 0 experience in professional photo shoots etc. Tip: hire her content creator for your wedding day too. She took my phone and took videos, made reels and clicked many pictures that were available to me instantly after the wedding. Don’t miss out. Cut your budget for flowers and hire her! You will not regret it :)
Where do we even begin with Balerina Films?! 🤍 From the moment we started working with their team, we felt so cared for, supported, and genuinely excited for by everyone involved. They were not only incredibly talented, but also some of the warmest, kindest, and most calming people to have around during such an emotional and fast-paced wedding weekend. Every single person on their team brought such amazing energy, professionalism, creativity, and heart into what they do. Our wedding was a multi-day South Asian celebration, and they captured it all so beautifully. Watching our wedding film and same-day edit felt like reliving the entire week all over again — every emotion, every tradition, every happy tear, every little in-between moment. There were so many clips where my husband and I looked at each other and said, “Oh my gosh, I am so glad they captured this moment!” That’s how fully and thoughtfully they documented everything. Their storytelling is truly art. The cinematography, editing, transitions, music, and emotional flow of the film were all beyond anything we could have imagined. They somehow made such a large wedding weekend still feel deeply intimate and personal. Our same-day edit had the entire reception cheering, emotional, and completely captivated. One of the most special parts for us was how beautifully they captured our first look. It felt so emotional, cinematic, and genuine, something we will treasure forever. Beyond the final product itself, what stood out most was how wonderful the entire team was to work with. They made us feel comfortable, celebrated, and fully present throughout the weekend. They worked so hard behind the scenes while still bringing such positive and calming energy to every event. We truly cannot thank Balerina Films enough for giving us memories we will cherish for the rest of our lives. We already cannot wait to continue seeing their art out in the world and hopefully cross paths again at future weddings. If you are considering booking them, do it!! They are absolutely incredible. ✨
What a fun experience to shoot with Balerina Films. There is a perfect combination of improvising, taking charge of unpredictable situations - think rain, public spaces, crows, and still absolutely delivering. I'm still in awe of the creative prowess and efficiency.
There are truly no words that could express the perfection of the Balerina team. We had so many people come up to us throughout our wedding with compliments on every single team member’s professionalism, skill, and even personality. As people, I can’t imagine a team working better together. They made us feel totally confident in their vision from the first moments. We felt like they were part of our family and made us so comfortable that I found myself asking them for opinions on outfits, makeup, etc. As expected from watching their previous videos on repeat before choosing them as our photo/video team, they captured the most sincere/beautiful/silly/special details and made them into art. For all of the “what ifs” and stressors that could happen throughout wedding events, we never once questioned the Balerina team. The way they captured our love and story will be forever cherished. Beautiful people, beautiful art. We love you Balerina!
