About This Vendor

my approach

I am Seattle based wedding videographer inspired by indie films. I believe in keeping things personal and for my work to live on for generations to come. I am not one for tricks or trends or false promises, I simply document you, your story and what I see in the most organic and sincere way. As a cinematographer I love story telling and weddings are the perfect love story, I feel very lucky to be able to be part of this memorable day. Each couple have theirs own unique romance that brought them together to celebrate their bond and my craft is to embrace it and to document it. I hope your film will live forever and be past through generations, to tell your beautifull love story. Some may say that having both photography and videography on your wedding day is overkill. However, after the day you have been planning for months flies by in what feels like seconds, you will be so thankful for a way to remember it. Video captures moments in a way that no other medium can, recording not just the sights, but the sounds of your day. From your vows to your first dance, a short film gives you the ability to replay the most special moments in your life. I am all about getting to know you. I want you to feel like we’re friends - you’re never just another client, job, or payday to me. When your wedding day comes, I truly want to celebrate you and your love story. I love working with couples who share an adventurous spirit and have the desire to have a video legacy of their wedding day. I understand that your wedding is YOUR story. It is going to be beautifully, completely, uniquely you, and I am thrilled about capturing every moment!

bridal party before the ceremony, us reading our vows, family members giving speeches and everyone busting out their moves on the dance floor. Eugene and and his wife Amanda (an amazing photographer!!!) were the best duo and work so well together- they made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera, and it really felt like we just had two more of our friends at the wedding. When our video was delivered, it was more than we could have ever hoped for- so perfect! We probably watched it 10 times the day we got it, and many more times since then! We quickly sent it to family and friends who were equally in love with the video and the ability to reminisce on the day. We are so grateful that we will always have it to look back on for years to come. One of the best decisions we made was to hire Eugene with Fresh Format Films to capture our special day! We HIGHLY recommend using him as your videographer- you won’t be disappointed!!

de us feel so at ease - he was caring, professional and super fun to work with. My husband and I aren’t the best when it comes to “poses” but Eugene made us feel comfortable and gave us some incredible suggestions that look so natural and elegant. We were so sad the day ended because we had so much fun! The next day Eugene published a little teaser/preview video on Instagram he had made on the side on his iPhone and it was such an incredible surprise. That teaser video alone was ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE so we are super excited to get the elopement day video back. I still to this day watch the preview video every day because it makes me so happy and put an instant smile on my face. I HIGHLY recommend Eugene!

Eugeniu Levinta

Owner

Hi, my name is Eugeniu, a indie cinematographer based in Seattle,WA. I came to the United States from Europe to pursue my film career. A few years later I fell in love in storytelling, where I get to be part of the most magical day of your lifetime. When not creating art I can be found up in the mountains , looking for inspiration and peace. I believe that the videographer is more than just someone who records your wedding. My desire is to design a visual poem that display the beauty of marriage. It’s my aim to perfectly weave and evoke emotion that is joy-filled and timeless.
