Cheers to my essay review! LOL. We had an absolutely amazing experience with Vitalii and his wife Lena from Chapala Weddings! (10/12/2025) They were incredibly easy and fun to work with, making the entire process feel stress-free. They were very accommodating with my budget and timeline, and Vitalii was extremely fast at responding to all my questions and last-minute changes.
I ended up sending my final timeline super late (like 3 AM late - I'm still so sorry), and Vitalii had it ready by the next morning. Even when the venue had an unexpected second event that completely threw off our timeline, they were both so reassuring and flexible. Despite the time crunch, I never once felt rushed by them, and they captured every special moment beautifully.
Both Vitalii and Lena showed up on time, with all their equipment set up and good to go — we didn’t have to worry about anything. They delivered everything exactly as promised — and really fast. I received the highlight video, full-length video, and all our photos in less than a month.
If I had to point out any "con," it would just be that my wedding itself didn’t have a ton of "fun" activities to capture — but somehow, Vitalii and Lena still made it look like an absolute blast. They even encouraged my husband and me to step outside for portraits after the Ceremony, which meant we entered our reception a little later — but those outdoor photos turned out to be my absolute favorite shots of the day. Vitalii’s eye for detail was incredible; he made sure to avoid distracting backgrounds and caught things I never would have noticed myself.
Don’t let the limited number of reviews steer you away — their work is absolutely beautiful, and I am SO thankful I chose them. I highly recommend Chapala Weddings to anyone looking for talented, reliable, and professional videography and photography. I love sharing their content every chance I get!! Annnnd DONE! :) GO BOOK!

Vitalii captured our day so beautifully, with such emotion and attention to detail. Every moment, from the big highlights to the little candid in-between shots, was filmed with such care and creativity. Watching our videos felt like we were reliving our wedding day all over again, and we couldn't stop smiling (and tearing up)!
If you're looking for a wedding videographer - Chapala Weddings is the one!

We loved working with Chapala Weddings! They were incredibly receptive to all of our questions and concerns! My husband and I said that one of the biggest things we wish we could have seen more of during the wedding was our family and friends having a great time and when we received the wedding videos back, we got to see so much more of the wedding and reception! We were so happy to be able to live in the moment during the wedding and then be able to watch the videos to be able to re-live the day over and over again! We absolutely recommend Chapala Weddings to anyone looking to tie the knot anytime soon! He was a pleasure to work with and was able to capture precious moments from our entire wedding day!

Our experience with Chapala as our videographer was awesome. They were on time, professional, and delivered the final product more quickly than we expected. More importantly, the final video and highlight video are FABULOUS. They caught the best stuff and the editing is on point. I'd definitely use again (hope I don't need to!) and would definitely recommend them.

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!

I am so so happy that we chose to go with Chapala Weddings!! They made the whole process so easy — quick responses and punctual. I never had any doubt with my choice. They were so kind too!! We had lots of compliments after the wedding telling us they were a great crew and that they can’t wait to see the video. Our guests even made comments on how they KNOW they got a ton of footage because they were everywhere and at all the right moments— and sure enough they did. Our videos turned out amazing! STOP LOOKING — you’ve found your camera crew!! Thank you Vitalli and crew!

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. I also want to thank Tiffany (2nd photographer) and Andrew (2nd videographer) for helping with everything! Thank you again!!!

The absolute best videographer for a very affordable price! We did our research before finding a videographer and Chapala’s package was truly the best in terms of what you receive and the quality! Vitalii was such a pleasure to work with. He was so gracious in working with us and accommodating requests for the video. We are so pleased with how it turned out and can’t wait to watch it for years to come to relive our favorite day!

I’d give more stars if I could! They really captured the whole vibe and highlighted the best parts of the night. Also, did a very good job of editing out parts that needed to be (ex. The best man speech that went on WAY too long lol).
Great communication with booking, pricing, locations and through the whole day of. We received the videos pretty quickly too! Can’t express how happy we are with all the footage.

We are absolutely thrilled with the exceptional work of Chapala Weddings Photography at our wedding! From our initial consultation to receiving our final photos and video, every step of the process was seamless and professional.
Vitalii and Lena captured the most beautiful moments of our special day with such creativity and attention to detail. The photos are stunning and truly reflect the emotions and joy of the day. They managed to capture both the big moments and the small details that we might have missed otherwise.
They did an outstanding job with our wedding video. The editing was impeccable, and they managed to perfectly capture the essence of our day. Watching the video felt like reliving the entire wedding all over again, with all the emotions and happiness vividly portrayed.
Chapala Weddings was incredibly professional and easy to work with. They made us feel comfortable and relaxed throughout the day, which really shows in the final results. We couldn't have asked for a better team to capture our wedding memories.
Thank you so much!

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING VIDEOGRAPHY!! We expected the video to be great from seeing their work, but Chapala Weddings absolutely exceeded our expectations! We have gotten TONS of compliments from people saying this was the BEST wedding video they've ever seen! Having the groom/officiant/dad mic'd up just made the videos 10000x better actually being able to hear all the small sweet comments, and the first look/ceremony/vows. They even incorporated some of the actual songs that were playing during the wedding day/night in our longer recap video. We will recommend Chapala Weddings to everyone and anyone! Vitalii was great to work with and was sure to understand what vibe we were going for. You will not regret booking them!!!!

Thank you very much Vitalii! I am convinced of how important it is to choose the right videographer, so subtly, gently was emphasized every detail of our celebration, the delight of the result. Vitalii is responsible and nice person, we discussed all the details before the celebration, all our wishes and ideas were taken into account. Responsive, always in touch, so all five stars and many thanks! We recommend
