These guys went above and beyond our expectations, and the pictures turned out perfect. Even though it was just an elopement with the two of us, they made the day feel genuinely special — like we were the only two people in the world for a moment. I’m so grateful that they captured the essence of our day and our time in New Orleans. It’s already a beautiful city, but somehow they made it shine even brighter in our wedding photos. They didn’t just take pictures; they bottled a memory we’ll treasure for the rest of our lives.

They are amazing at what they do! I would highly recommend this couple for anyone who wants stunning photos and phenomenal videos. I would hire them again in a heartbeat! The turn around time was so quick too (less than a month). We just can't stop looking at our gallery! They captured each moment and so many more. I am truly grateful for these memories and will cherish them forever. Thank you for your hard work and talent!

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!

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!

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!!!
