One word. AMAZING. Book them now, you will not regret it! Ben and his team are worth every penny! If I only could afford one vendor for our wedding I would book Leap Weddings and skip the food and flowers:). Just watch some of their work and you will be sold! read more

My husband and I were married in a multicultural, multi-ceremony (Catholic & Hindu), 230 guest destination wedding at The Grand Velas Resort in Riviera Nayarit, Mexico. As one might imagine, logistics and details surrounding our nuptials were complex. When it came time to select a videographer to capture our vision and all of the special moments that I had carefully planned, I wasn't about to mess around - especially when it involved flying out a team I could trust South of the Border. Being an event planner myself for the past decade and working with hundreds of the best and brightest in the industry, I of course pooled and evaluated all of my creative resources. Besides saying "I Do" to my wonderful husband, videography with Leap Weddings was the easiest decision made for our wedding. Ever since I met Ben in the early 2000's, his work has stood above the rest. I've worked with him on a number of projects (corporate, nonprofit, private, etc.) over the years and he and his team have always surpassed every expectation. I always knew that if I were to get married one day he would be behind the camera. Wedding planning and decision making isn't easy. For most, it's emotional, time-consuming and let's face it, can get expensive. Some guidelines I give clients to look for in a vendor that Leap far exceeded: YOU WANT: 1. QUALITY - Experienced motionographers along with the best cameras & editing platforms 2. CREATIVITY - Raw talent, skill & vision - something that is intrinsic 3. RELIABILITY - Let's talk international travel & carrying a drone through customs 4. VALUE - Leap delivers an exceptional product that is competitively priced in the market 5. TEAMWORK - Simply put, you want to collaborate with the most genuine, intelligent, hardworking & caring individuals that love what they do From the bottom of our hearts, the biggest THANK YOU to Ben, Josh, Stephanie and the whole crew at Leap Weddings/BMP. We had so much fun working with you and are still blown away that we have this special piece of our lives to share with family and friends forever: https://vimeo.com/138915983 To couples weighing this decision, look no further. You are in excellent hands! read more

I met Ben while he was shooting a friend's wedding. I was her day-of-coordinator and, as soon as I met Ben, I knew I would not have anything to worry about with his shooting. He is a total pro. He gets in for the right shot without being at all intrusive. So many times, I've been to weddings where the focus becomes the cameras instead of the wedding. Not with Ben. After seeing the gorgeous footage that he got and the even more fantastic way he edited it together to tell their story, I knew that we had to have him shoot a corporate event that I was working on. It was kind of last-minute and pretty involved. Ben was a true joy to work with though. He was professional, calm, positive and went above-and-beyond to do what he could to help us get the footage we needed. If I ever need another videographer in Chicago, Ben would be my go-to guy. read more

Having Leap Weddings do our videography was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! The team that was with us on our wedding day was amazing. We had Josh as our main guy, and loved him. Especially because he put up with my ridiculous friends all day! They arrived at the hotel where we were getting ready at early and immediately got to work, even staying a little longer at the reception to get some more of our guests dancing. They went above and beyond at every level. Our video is amazing - we watched it probably 20 times in a row when we first got it. Literally everyone who has watched it told us they were crying the whole time and that it was so amazing. The videos they make tell a story and so wonderfully capture the day - we are SO grateful to have this to remember our wedding day for years to come! If anyone is on here reading reviews to try and figure out if they are worth the price, trust me, THEY ARE! Leap is pricey, but you get what you pay for. It is worth making room in your wedding budget for them. The video (and photos) of your day are all you have to remember it by, and your wedding day goes by so fast in such a blur that it's hard to remember all the little details. Do yourself a favor and hire Leap Weddings to film your wedding day! read more

We had the opportunity to work with Ben Mahoney Productions and his associate on more than one occassion last year and were extremely impressed by their uncanny ability to connect with the bride and groom in an unobtrusive, yet personable manner. As wedding photographers, we meet lots of vendors with different styles and approaches. The first time we worked with Ben we thought he was a close friend of the couple because they were so comfortable with him. Additionally, Ben is phenomenal to collaborate with and produces creative, non-cookie cutter videos that convey the couple's style. If you're looking for a wedding video that rocks, look no further. read more

If there's a pattern here with five star reviews, it's for a reason. With regard to the quality of the product, others have enthused sufficiently, and I will simply say -- it surpassed even our lofty expectations. Check out their Vimeo page if you want to see some examples, and rest assured that your own footage will make you tear up even quicker. I'll concentrate here instead on the actual experience of working with Leap Weddings. Jack and Josh filmed our late-September wedding, and Stephanie was our point person. All three of them were a delight, the whole way through: responsive, friendly, professional, punctual, and downright charming. On the day of... As silly as it sounds, having Jack and Josh with us actually seemed to add something to a day that was already bound to be amazing (I mean, when almost everyone you love has gathered in one place to wish you well, it's hard to imagine that two strangers could make the day even better. BUT THEY DID.). They were just so fun, friendly, encouraging, and enthusiastic. It was like having a Greek chorus of positivity occasionally popping up to say, "You're awesome!" This isn't to say they got in the way, though -- which was my main concern when it came to hiring videographers. I do not like cameras in my faces. I don't like bright lights, either, and I was worried that our reception venue (Ruggles, at the Newberry Library) would be dim enough to require those awful floodlights that blind people. I've no idea what Jack and Josh ultimately employed, because I didn't notice any glaring lights in my face, but the footage from within the reception was as crystal clear as the footage from our first look (inside the Sofitel) and our formal photos (taken in some uncharacteristically balmy sunlit weather in Washington Square Park). I didn't know I wanted a videographer until I stumbled across a wedding video made by Leap Weddings. After that, I fretted over the budget and investigated slightly less expensive companies that offered similar products. My fiance and I watched a bunch of "wedding films" made by a variety of very talented folks around the Chicago area, but we never found another one that evoked the kind of emotion that a Leap Wedding film did (even though all their films that we watched on Vimeo featured total strangers!). Ultimately I thought, "If theirs was the product that made me want this so much, I might as well bite the bullet and find a way to save up the extra grand." Having watched the final product ten times now (eep), I have to say, it was one of the best decisions we made in the whole wedding planning process. My husband's colleague, who has experience as a wedding planner in Philly and asked to see of the short films, told him that she'd never seen a wedding film so artistically and beautifully rendered. I'd like to think part of the credit goes to us, for being such a conspicuously lovestruck couple -- but I suspect most of the credit should go to Leap, and Jack and Josh, for their extraordinary talent and skill as filmmakers. read more

Is there a rating higher than 5 stars?! I wish, because the crew at Leap is beyond incredible. The whole planning process was completely seamless with Becky at the wheel, making sure that everyone had the timing and details down to a science. We had a crew come out to shot our Rehearsal Dinner speeches, and they were timely, professional and unobtrusive and I am so glad that we have those memories on record forever! As far as the wedding day, I don't even know if I can tell you how great it was. Josh, Aaron and Ben really knocked it out of the park. They are instantly part of your family, and even my Mom, who was totally freaked out about the having a videographer, felt at ease with them. 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! THANK YOU LEAP I LOVE YOU YOU ARE THE BEST read more

I am so excited to have the opportunity to endorse Ben. He was phenomenal! Not only did he travel to Ann Arbor to shoot our wedding, but he did an engagement video shoot in Chicago just for fun!:) He went way above and beyond what we paid him for and created a masterpiece video of our wedding that we will cherish forever. If I had to decide between a photographer or a videographer, I would choose the videographer hands down, and Ben would be my guy. His creativity in editing far out-weighed the competition that we interviewed and watched online. Every person who has watched our video has had tears in their eyes from the very beginning because of Ben's fantastic editing. I can't rave about him enough and am so thankful to have found him for our wedding day. In case this recommendation doesn't convince you to use him for your next videographer needs... I'm happy to give you more reasons over the phone as to why you should hire Ben. Thanks so much again Ben for all of your great work!! read more

My wife Mary and I hired Ben Mahoney to do our wedding video based on a lot of positive feedback on this website. Our final product lives up to our image of what we expected. The story does not end there. When we got our first edit we were a little disappointed and thought there was possibly some footage missing. We called Ben to discuss. He was a man of his word and jumped into action. He told me his name is on the door and he wants everyone to be happy with their work. I have heard that a number of times from other service providers..... He really did everything in his power to make us happy. And the final product included some footage that was accidentally overlooked and was perfectly mastered. Ben has talent to spare and is worthy of our 5 stars, but I would recommend him for his business integrity first and talent second. Any friend we have planning a wedding will hear about Ben Mahoney Productions. Oh...and they have moved their offices and are now located on Ohio, near Grand and May. read more

I met Stephanie at an expo when I first started my wedding planning. She was super nice, and I thought I would at least give her a shot for a hair trial on the day of my engagement shoot. She did a great job with my hair, and even took down the updo to get my hair ready for the e-shoot. I had a lot of compliments, so of course I booked her for my wedding. She was great to work with as far as bringing ideas from pics to what looks great for me. Stephanie is professional, responsive, and wonderful to work with. Her work ROCKS and of course more compliments poured in for my wedding up-do. Thanks Stephanie!! read more

I'm not sure that 5 stars is enough to express just how happy we were with Ben and the whole Leap Weddings crew. Like many of other reviewers, my husband and I were reluctant to spend the extra money on a videographer...that was, until we saw some of Ben's work online. There was no question in our minds from that day forward that this would be one of the best investments made for our wedding day. From our first email correspondence to the day of (and even after) Ben and Stephanie were so responsive and helpful. My husband and I had a hard time settling on style, music, etc. so we put it all in the hands of Leap Weddings. It was like they knew us better than we knew ourselves. All of the selections made were AWESOME! On our wedding day Ben and Aaron were the perfect combination of fun and professional. A few people from our bridal party actually asked 'where'd you find these guys? I feel like we should go out for a drink with them later'. You spend the whole day with your videographer. It definitely helps to feel like they're just one of your friends with a camera. We just posted the links to our segments a few weeks ago, and I've already had a number of people contact me for more information about Leap Weddings. They exceeded all expectations. I can't say thank you enough to these guys for making such a wonderful memory of our wedding day. Everything was captured just as we wanted it; from the speeches, to the shopping cart, to an IOWA football game and of course the ceremony and reception. If your still debating using Leap Weddings, stop. You won't regret the decision. read more

Listen, I have never been so into something as I am with this wedding video. I can not tell you how you went beyond my expectations. Every aspect of working with you guys was flawless. From the moment I met Ben in the initial meeting until the very end. You guys are truly the best in the nation as far as I am concern. Ive seen some videographers, and their sh*t,(pardon) just doesnt even touch what you have going on. I literally have never felt so great about making a purchase, well maybe my Jeep and Chloe bag.... LOL but lets just say it ranks up there really high with best purchases of my life. Ben, you captured every moment I just did not even see or think twice about and you dealt with my harassing family members I heard. "Hey dude you know who you look like Zach Galafanakis?" Steph, you have been amazing the entire time and now I can see what you are saying about me being super relaxed. Haha. Glad it came across that way. Let me just say, both of your laid back attitudes, really goes a long way. Your so chill and just so cool and confident and it really shows. I literally will endorse every single aspect of all your businesses. My hair f*cking rocks. (pardon, again) Crystal is amazing, everything is amazing and I know you guys will continue to grow and just continue on with all the amazingness that is happening there. You've made a life long client in me! Love you guys! (is that appropriate?) LOL read more

5 stars is not enough. Can we give them 10??? We had Jack and Eric as our videographers. They were patient - meeting with us, talking through everything, hearing what we liked or didn't like from other Leap videos we saw online. They were unobtrusive the day of the wedding - catching all the right moments without taking over the scene or stumbling into the shots our photographer was taking. And the end result was FABULOUS!!!! Exactly what we were looking for. Captured the essence of the day and key moments from getting ready activities and speeches. We just loved working with them and loved their final product. They were GREAT. Cannot recommend them enough!!!! read more

Ben leads a creative team of videographers, editors and producers. One of the most creative and talented videographers in Chicago in my opinion. His work with Hereschicago.com video site tours has been outstanding. His work in covering our meeting, event and hospitality events is phenominal. He creates a story with both corporate video and wedding video. He is a "hidden gem"! Ben found out how to clone himself because his team is equally talented. I have worked with multiple team members of BMP including editors, videographers and producers and it just seems to get better with each of them. read more

My husband and I could not be more thrilled and satisfied with our leap weddings wedding DVD! We had extremely high expectations after watching all of their previous work online and in person at their office, and our expectation were more than exceeded! The thought and creativity that goes into their work is amazing and is the reason they stood out to us from their competition. While being fun and unique they were always extremely professional and took care to be unobtrusive. From the minute we pressed play to watch our movie we couldn't stop smiling! They managed to create a fun, modern, creative, high quality, emotional, easy to watch piece of art that summarizes our day without leaving out any of the important pieces. We are obsessed with our video and will be referring Leap Wedding to all of our family and friends in the future! read more

Words cannot describe how thankful my husband and family are to Leap Weddings. We loved having them attend and be a part of our special day, you can't get a better group/company than this!! The planning process is grueling and weddings are expensive and overwhelming! At first a videographer was out of our budget but due to so many friends raving about Leap Weddings and talking to my family, we decided to go for it. So many people contribute to the hard work and effort that goes into the perfection of your wedding day and I am so lucky i made the right decision to move forward with Leap Weddings! Leap weddings savored all of the special details of my wedding and handed me a day full of memories that WILL last a lifetime. When i first watched the video, I broke down. My wedding video was beautiful and I felt the day all over again, the feeling was priceless. This is all due to the creativity and personality of Leap Weddings. Many moments were captured that I did not know existed or was not able to experience because of how wrapped up my husband and I were- your wedding day flies by! We had a 100 person wedding and I thought i would have time to savor each memory...not the case....until i received my video! Ben, Steph, and the crew were friendly, and very professional. I could not see this group getting less than 5 stars or high remarks. They are "real" and listen to what YOU want. They are not in your face or cheesy, they are a group of people that want you to remember your wedding day cookie cutter to you and your husband because that's the main point, right? The reviews speak for themselves, this group has it together and knows how to make your wedding day live on for the rest of your lives. Thank you Leap Weddings!! L&T read more

I don't know if I can demonstrate the appreciation I have for Ben and his team. . . he captured our night EXACTLY the way we wanted to remember it. What I think makes Ben and Leap unique is he really takes time to get to know you, and then reflects what he remarkably absorbs into your wedding video. We LOVED our first meeting with Ben and while I'm sure ALL of Leap is amazing, we both felt a real connection with him from the first minute we met him. We got married in June of 2014, and we wanted to write a review immediately after but we decided it would only be true justice AFTER we saw our video. In short, had I written this review before we saw the video...he would have 1,000stars. He made us feel comfortable, but most importantly you can tell he wants to get a feel for his clients and their personality so that he can incorporate that into the video. AFTER viewing the video we would give him 1,000,000 stars. . . . this was the best investment of our entire wedding. . .and goes back to what we were saying in that he captures your personality into your video. A wedding day can be very stressful and as much as you'd like to remember everything, it's hard as a bride and groom to do that because of the adrenaline, timeline, family, etc. Leap captured our day EXACTLY how we want to remember it and will cherish this for years to come. We were so fortunate to be referred to Leap through friends. . . . we're telling you, if you're on the fence of spending money on a video, get off that fence. . . you'll regret not getting one...which I've heard a few times after showing our video to our married friends that did not have one. And if you're going to do it. . . TRUST US, there is only one way to go: the Bearded Experience (or any of the amazing staff at Leap). read more

HIRE THEM!!! Amazing! Creative! Emotional! Fun! Worth every penny! These are just some of the adjectives that immediately come to mind when I think of Leap Weddings. When we first met with Ben and Stephanie, I felt that I have known them for years! They just got us and our vision for our wedding. We had a sort of complicated situation being that we were living in Hawaii and had to plan everything from Chicago; not to mention that we wanted a military and jewish theme . We simply told Ben and Stephanie what we wanted and they made it happen. Since we were so far away and loved Leap so much, we ended booking all things wedding (photographer, DJ and wedding planners) either though LEAP or by their recommendation. We were a little worried about what everything would look like since we basically gave Ben the reins. Within 5 seconds of them arriving on island, that worry went away. They got everything done and it was all amazing. We had them video the entire week from our night out on a pirate ship to the rehearsal dinner and of course the wedding day. The week was the best of our lives and it just went by in a whirl wind. I didn't remember half of what happened to be honest but Leap helped with that. They shot it all and the videos they created are amazing. We ended up with quite a few videos. They made a rehearsal dinner one with all our friends and family giving us advice. A day of edit which showed the ceremony at the reception. A 17 minute to music montage of the rehearsal dinner and wedding day. And last all the raw footage edited into final films. It was a lot and we loved every minute of every video. I highly highly recommend spending the money on all or at least some of the video options that they have. As we watched each video, it was like we were right back at the wedding week. We laughed, cried and best of all got to see all the things we missed. We truly felt like we received a gift with the videos because it was like having the wedding all over again. We had the most amazing wedding and we can truly say that it was because of Ben, Stephanie and the rest of the Leap crew. A huge thanks to all of you! read more

Masters of their Art and Domain...... thank you for traveling all the way out to Hawaii and capturing our special place in time. You guys are the best and much Mahalos!!!! read more

LEAP weddings did our video in July 2017. I had seen their work and knew before we were even engaged I would use them. Their videos are unlike anything I had seen before. I had people unable to attend our wedding that said "I feel like I was there from the summary video" and that's just how good they are. Rob and Cesar are incredible and captured all the perfect moments without being intrusive at all. They worked well with our other vendors and were flexible with our crazy timeline. The turn around time was fast (I mean I started bugging them for a video the day after our wedding and it still felt fast)! Everyone cried and still talks about our video. Family members ask for copies. 100% just hire them. The quality is unlike anything else out there! read more

LEAP Weddings has a way of capturing your love story and the day of your wedding and weaving it into a cohesive, beautiful cinematic video that you will cherish for the rest of your life. They go above and beyond just capturing your wedding. They are the best in the business and are worth every penny. Our videographers Josh and Nick were so easy to work and got amazing video. Stephanie, edited our video to really show our love story and what our wedding day felt and looked like. Amazing since we never met her! Becky was so easy to work with in this process! We could not be more happy or thankful we went with LEAP! read more

Josh, Becky and Ben were amazing to work with! They captured our wedding day so perfectly it felt like we were reliving it. The quality and attention to detail was the best I had seen in my search for a wedding videographer. They made everyone feel extremely comfortable, which made for genuine, funny, heartfelt moments we will treasure for a long time to come. We even visited their studio after to review some of the raw footage and were very impressed! Highly recommend them to all future brides and event planners. read more

Your wedding video is as important as your photographer! Working with Ben on our wedding day was great. He was so patient with me (crazy bride) and you barely knew he was there. He captured everything. When we received the final video I was a mess. His creative editing and song choices perfectly captured the moments I will never forget. I think every one of my friends cried at some point when they watched it. All my friends that are engaged asked for his information after they saw our videos. Ben is as good as it gets. His videos are gorgeous. The song matches the moment perfectly. Easy to work with. Prompt. Efficient. Creative. 5 stars! Thank you Ben! read more

I can undoubtedly give Ben Mahoney Productions 5 stars, easily! I was in the same boat as many other brides planning their wedding thinking if I wanted to save some money I could skip on a videographer. Like Ben had said when I first met with him, "it's kind of like the red headed step child." :) After reviewing his work and tearing up watching wedding videos of people I didn't even know, I knew I needed a videographer and it had to be Ben and his team! A few weeks after our wedding we got our wedding pictures, which was great and I loved them but I was so excited to have the videos to look forward to. We could not be happier! My husband, who was indifferent about having a videographer, was also very impressed and loved the videos! The day goes by so quickly, it's the best way to relive it all. The vows, guests, the dances, speeches and the dancing! If there is a bride who is hesitant about getting a videographer, trust me, it's worth it! Ben Mahoney is unbelievably talented and looking back, hiring him was one of the best decisions I made when planning our wedding. Ben, you are awesome! read more

My husband and I got married last May and Leap Weddings was there to capture it all. Going into the wedding planning process, we didn't think we would hire a videographer. We'd attended so many lovely weddings that were nearly ruined by obtrusive videographers. Our neighbor works in the wedding industry and was able to suggest some really great vendors. The first person she recommended was Ben. We checked out his vimeo site and were really impressed. We were sold on Ben, Steph and the rest of the team within seconds of meeting them. We were blown away by how professional, kind, funny, smart and creative everyone was. Ben was booked the night of our wedding, but we were lucky to have Meg and Jack there on our big day. Their prices are incredibly reasonable. They have several different packages and are respectful about budgets. They deliver an amazing final product in a timely fashion. At every turn, I've been blown away by Ben and his crew. We are so happy that we hired them. Watching our video is such a great way to relive the day. read more

Leap Weddings did an incredible job at capturing our wedding day this past summer. We had the pleasure of working with Meg and Aaron who went above and beyond to get that special shot. From the initial meeting to the final consultation, Leap Weddings did not disappoint. Meg and Aaron picked up very quickly on our style and what type of video we were looking for. Some serious thought and talent went into the final edit which turned out unreal. Simply put they are creative, professional and trustworthy. When looking for a videographer for your big day, do yourself a favor and setup an appointment with Leap, they'll have you covered. read more

Like some of the other reviewers, my husband and I wavered a bit when deciding whether or not to hire a wedding videographer. I consulted several friends during the decision process, and they all gave one of two responses: either (a) they were happy they'd spent money on a wedding video, or (b) they hadn't hired a videographer and regretted that they didn't have film evidence of the most touching moments of their wedding day (notably the toasts by their friends and family members). So Ben and the Leap Weddings team were a somewhat late addition to our wedding "vendor team," but we couldn't be happier with the finished product, and have no regrets about hiring them. Our wedding video is unique, professional, and well edited, with the perfect song selections to accompany the video montages. Watching the film brings tears to my eyes every time I see it, and my husband and I are so glad we made the decision to hire Leap Weddings. Finally, the days/weeks (even minutes!) leading up to your wedding day can be very stressful, and Ben and his team were very good about responding to our emails/queries/requests during that time. Our situation was further complicated by the fact that we were planning our wedding from abroad, but we were pleased with Leap Weddings' responsiveness and understanding (especially when it came to mailing checks from Asia!). Additionally, Ben and his team were great about keeping their video subjects at ease during the filming day. It was actually kind of fun to have them around while we were prepping for our wedding! read more

I highly recommend Leap Weddings! I had the perfect St. Patrick's Day Wedding!!!! Leap Weddings was able to capture my perfect scenes of the Green River with my Husband and Wedding Party!!! There are moments in the wedding I did not see as we were so busy but having a Wedding Video, I have memories for a Lifetime!!!! Ben and Stephanie are wonderful to work with!!!!!! read more

It was wonderful to have Ben and Jack videoing my daughter's July wedding. They were so professional. They were there, but not there. By that I mean that they covered her day from start to end. They could not have been more accomodating to us; I can not wait to see their results! Thanks again for helping to make Jillian and Michael's wedding day a day to remember. You guys are the best!!! Diane Akins read more

There is a reason Leap Weddings has 5 Stars and are getting 5 stars from me - They are the best in class. My review is for my June 2012, Chicago wedding that they captured. My wife and I met with them in the spring, once you enter their very cool studio it is hard not to pull out the check book, to lock them down for your date. We discussed what we were looking for and they different options they provide. Watched some of their previous work and shared a few laughs. We knew Ben and his crew were the easy going creatives we wanted on our day. We stayed in contact with Steph until we came in again a few weeks before the wedding to discuss the details and hand over some songs we would like incorporated in our clips. We met Megan and Jack who would be our shooters. They made us feel completely comfortable and we were stoked to have them take on the important responsibility. The wedding came and went. But they were wish us from start to finish, capturing so much more than I could ever remember. They were terrific with our Photographer, playing off each other for shots. They never got in the way of our guests, or our guest don't care about cameras( ie our dancing montages!). We even kept them a little longer as we did not want them to leave us just yet. We stalked their vimeo site to watch their other work till the day our DVDs were ready (in the time frame they promised). The disc has lived in our DVD player ever since. THANK YOU so much Leap weddings. Each clip keeps our Wedding day alive (in HD). My wife and I did not see each other till the church so it is so cool to see her getting ready, and visa versa. The editing they did is so great. Little things that I would have never thought of, like their wireless mics make the church part sound so much better than the real life echoing speakers, add up to the perfect video. Look no further. They are top of the line. I 100% recommend Leap Wedding to anyone. It is absolutely worth the investment. read more

If 5 stars means "woohoo!" then I wish I had the option to pick 6 stars... or 7... Ben, Aaron, Stephanie and the team at Leap Weddings are the best in the biz. I already knew Ben's work because he shot my friend's wedding back in 2010, so I felt SO lucky that they were available for my husband's and my wedding in June 2012. As much as I anticipated my actual wedding day, I think I anticipated seeing the video even more!! On such a crazy day I barely remembered all the speeches, I didn't see all the action on the dance floor, etc. and watching everything again on the video was so amazing. But it's not just being able to relive the day that's fun... it's reliving the day through Leap's amazingly creative, cinematic eyes. I was blown away at how beautifully and artfully they shot and edited everything. Any videopgrapher worth working with is going to be a chunk of change, but Ben and Aaron went above and beyond. I had them contracted for pictures and the ceremony/reception (I think 8 hours?) but they showed up at the hotel over an hour early and got shots of me getting ready with my bridesmaids.... I can't even believe I didn't think that was super important - having that experience on video now means the world to me. Ben and Aaron- thank you. I know there were many other people (Stephanie!) involved behind the scenes, too, so double thank you! For anyone who's going back and forth about if they can afford to/want to have a videographer document their wedding day - DO IT, and call Leap Weddings. You won't regret it for a single second!! read more

We knew right from the start upon watching the video's on their website that these guys were exactly what we were looking for in a wedding videographer. Our video was a hugely important piece of our wedding so we wanted the best and we got the best in Leap Weddings! We met with Stephanie and Josh and were very comfortable. We could totally be our goofy selves and my husband really wanted to create his own music video and they were totally on board. We brainstormed on how to make him famous! haha! The day of the wedding you barely knew Josh and Cesar were around, we just did our thing and they made us feel comfortable. Mickey really had a great time with these guys when he was getting ready. Since us ladies were running late at the salon they had extra time to hang out and shoot his video which he and everyone who has seen it absolutely loved! Both the money and the wait were worth the final product we received! We got 4 copies which was perfect for our parents and ourselves to keep a copy each. Everyone that I have shown the video to wants a copy. No one can believe how awesome our wedding movie is, its something we will cherish and actually watch over and over again and not just sit and get dusty. I tear up every time I watch it and relive that beautiful day all over again! Thank you Josh, Cesar, Stephanie, & Leap Weddings for making the biggest day of our lives so amazingly special. I know we will refer every single person we hear that needs a videographer and if the time arises we ever need a videographer for ANYTHING we're calling you guys again!!! Thank you so much a thousand times over!! Mickey and Aja Delos Santos read more

These guys are absolutely amazing!!! I am so happy that they were the ones to video our wedding. They came in that morning of the wedding and were so nice and professional right from the get-go. They made me, my family and our wedding party and guests feel so comfortable, and they captured all the special moments of our day without being intrusive. I can't say enough wonderful things about them. I was sad when they left at the end of the evening!!! AND THEN, we got our wedding video and when I saw the beautiful masterpiece they so thoughtfully and artistically put together, I was speechless and beyond grateful to all of them. Thank you LEAP Weddings for being so fabulous! WE LOVE YOU!! :))) I hope every bride and groom books you - they will not be sorry! read more

My now-husband and I weren't sure about hiring a videographer for our wedding. We thought that the photographs would be enough to capture the events of the day and refresh our happy memories. Not to mention that weren't all that excited about paying for what we thought would be cheesed up cinematography set to sappy music. Not our style. Nevertheless, our planner suggested that we check out Leap Weddings. We scheduled a meeting, and by the end, not only were we convinced that we needed a videographer -- we were convinced that we needed Leap Weddings. Ben, Aaron, and Steph are fun, likeable, professional, and awesomely creative. At our first meeting, we watched a recently-finished project, and I found myself tearing up at wedding footage of a couple I've never met! Their videos are so moving, yet so cool. The footage (mixed with songs selected from a list of your favorite tunes/artists), makes you want to laugh, cry, and dance all at the same time. I just watched our trailer again (http://vimeo.com/80502229), and I love it just as much as the first time we saw it. Although our photographs were amazing and captured each part of the day, nothing can compare to having such a beautifully edited film of the reactions, voices, and dance moves of all our family and friends on that very special day. I can't thank or recommend Leap Weddings enough. Five stars! read more

I love working with Leap Weddings, Ben and Josh are really the best at what they do. This company is so easy to work with and produces a quality and beautiful product.every time. read more

We hired Leap for our February winter wedding and I simply can't say enough about them. As you can tell from their videos online, Leap is not your run of the mill video company. They care about their work and their product is always unique. You will not get the same cookie cutter video that they do over and over. Each video is crafted to really reflect your wedding day. Furthermore, the creativity exuded by Leap is simply amazing. Every time we spoke to Jack he said something along the lines of "I was thinking about your wedding and I'd like to try x." He was planning our wedding day months in advance! By the time our wedding day finally arrived, we felt like we had known them for years. I actually was a little sad when filming ended that night. Not because I really wanted the taping to continue, but rather because I felt like a friend was leaving. The people at Leap are simply amazing. Enough about the people, right? You are here to read about the video. Our video came out amazing. I watch it pretty much every day and my wife watches it more than that. They really captured our wedding day in a way that I could have never imagined. This is one wedding video that we will actually watch for years to come. If you are planning on having someone create a video of your wedding day, you have to go with Leap. read more

First of all, I can't say enough good things about Leap Weddings. From the moment we sought them out until the delivery of our wedding video, everything was on point! They NAILED the video, they captured the spirit of the day and totally blew my expectations away. The team (videographers/producer) was super cool and professional. They made me feel comfortable and confident all the way through the process. On the day of the wedding, it was apparent how skilled the videographers were. They were everywhere, capturing all the moments, but they were in no way an interference to the event. They have such an artful eye and record from interesting angles/perspectives. The footage is beautiful - so colorful, vibrant, sharp...I love everything. If I ever need personal video services again they are definitely my go to and I'd recommend them anytime. -Sandra (Bride) read more

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. From the first time we pressed play to the twentieth, the tears continue to flow (on my end), the laughter grows, and we're left more and more amazed by all of the love that filled the room that day each time we watch it. We owe so much of this to Leap Weddings! If you are a videographer skeptic or someone who doesn't want to spend the money on videography, my husband and I can easily say that choosing Leap was THE best money we spent out of all of our vendors. Not only is the end product outstanding, working with Stephanie, Josh, and Carl was a pleasure from initial planning meetings to the day of. They were organized, efficient, funny, creative, and overall, great people to be around on such an important day. Between the wedding morning chaos, the management of our large wedding party, and the overwhelming emotions of the entire experience, Josh and Carl fit in seamlessly and made everything look effortless. (Josh definitely added an extra element of pre-reception fun with his Drone camera shots!) Most importantly, the amount of talent that each of them possess is extremely impressive and we can't thank them enough. The footage they captured, the editing, the story it conveyed, the music selection - it was absolutely perfect from beginning to end. These ladies and gentleman truly have a gift and this is why they are considered THE BEST in the business. Thank you thank you LEAP! We look forward to starring in our siblings' videos in the future ;) Or we may just have to throw a really large party just to get the chance to work with you again! Dina and Tommy read more

There are no words to describe how great of a decision it was to have Leap film our wedding! As the bride, the videographer was one of the most important choices to me since it's the best way to remember the day for years to come. I immediately loved the way Leap incorporated interviews into their films, and the way they are able to evoke emotion from their choice of music and the way they cut the footage together. Josh, Erik and Becky didn't disappoint when it came to our film--they were super easy to work with, had a great sense of humor, and were clearly passionate about their work. The day of, they were very professional and we hardly noticed they were there, but they captured all of the best moments of our wedding. We couldn't have asked for a better team or a better finished product. All of our family and friends have said this is the best wedding video they've ever seen! read more

My Husband and I went back in forth for a couple of months as to whether we could book Leap Weddings for our October 2017 wedding. I had followed them for a long time and knew that if we were going to have a videographer it would be Leap Weddings or just simply no videographer. We can never thank them enough for all of the incredibly hard work it took to give us something no one else would ever be able to. The ability to look back and relive. They make the videos appear absolutely effortless. We forever thank you! read more
