I chose Lena and Camerative to film my micro-wedding/elopement. Lena was amazing! Once we booked her, she reached out to introduce herself which made me very confident that she was responsive and attentive. I didn't know what to expect, but she checked with us ahead of time if our officiant + the groom could wear a mic during the ceremony for best sound quality. I felt very respected by her asking ahead of time rather than day of! Our video is extremely beautiful and I am SO glad I chose to hire a videographer even for a small ceremony - this video will be cherished for the rest of our lives

For our wedding we got referred to Camerative and the first time I spoke with Lena, she was so personable. After meeting her, she made me even more confident that she will capture all the moments/highlights of our video.
On our Wedding day, Lena & Kril did an amazing job coordinating with our photographer making sure that they were on the same page. Throughout the big day, she kept a smile on her face and you can tell she genuinely loves what she do and tries to make sure it's all about you. She communicates really well and makes sure you are comfortable at all times.

What can I say about Camerative! Lena & Kirill are the best videographers ever!! They're a power couple and we love them dearly. They did an awesome job capturing the most special moments for my husband Josh and I's wedding. They made our day so special. They're not your typical videographers. They actually care about you and your special day. They go over and beyond expectations!! I recommend them to anyone who wants to have the best memories ever on film! They have superb editing and filming skills. They listen carefully to what you want and make sure to bring it to life. Go

We hired Lena and Kirill as our videographers for our wedding on 9/7/19. Lena was my main contact leading up to our event, and she was absolutely amazing throughout the entire experience. She checked in with me regularly each month and even helped me put my timeline together.
On the day-of, she arrived and got straight to work. She remembered everything we had spoken about and had my entire timeline memorized. As my girls and I got ready in my hotel room, she stayed in the background, even going as far as climbing on the kitchen counter to get some great shots! Meanwhile, Kirill was in the boy

I am incredibly picky when it comes to choosing the right videographer for my events. Camerative owner, Lena, does not disappoint every single time. She has produced numerous videos for my family's and friends' weddings, anniversaries and milestone parties. I couldn't be happier with the final products - the videos that we will cherish for many years to come.
As a videographer, Lena brings a truly unique, perceptive vision to her clients. Her impeccable attention to detail, allows her to guide her subjects in a non-pushy, gentle manner. Many of us are not comfortable being in front of the camera

We hired Camerative for my niece's wedding video and couldn't be happier with our choice. Camerative crew was very professional to work with leading up to the wedding and afterward. They were quick to respond to email and phone communication and always available to answer any questions. Lena Shabanova was a fabulous videographer, and we are so incredibly excited about how video turned out. She captured the joy of this special day in a way that we never could have imagined. We were beyond satisfied with our choice for wedding videographer.

We were on the fence and really did not think we wanted a videographer but hiring Camerative was the best wedding decision we made. Lena & Kiril shot out our Sonoma wedding this September. They were fantastic. Really prompt, professional and friendly. Leading up to the wedding, they were great at communicating and quickly responded to all our inquiries quickly.
They arrived early and stayed late. For most of the day, we didn't even know they were filming. We barely noticed them as they stealthily captured all the important moments and the dancing. A couple of weeks after the wedding,

I had the pleasure of working alongside Lena for a wedding and I was so impressed by her expertise. She knew exactly what she was going for and carefully evaluated each setting we were in to be sure lighting and angles were as perfect as possible. She and her husband were patient and easy going, and I wouldn't hesitate to team up with them for future events.
Being a photographer, I would recommend Camerative to anyone in need of video services.

Lena at Camerative was great! She helped to create video tutorials and an introduction video for us and it turned out amazing. She was able to capture the best moments of our stylist and our model, as well as of our store. The video in our boutique turned out great, so I can only imagine what she could capture at a wedding! Book Lena today, you won't be sorry!

Camerative was a recommendation from a friend of mine who got married last year. I will now do you a favor and recommend her to you! Lena and her husband spent the day with us filming all our special candid moments. The Highlight Video is SO amazing and has everyone in tears every time they watch. Not only does she provide GREAT service, she is amazingly priced and works to provide you footage rapidly. I will forever be grateful for the memories captured live!

I had the opportunity to work alongside Lena as we created a series of video tutorials and introduction videos for the wedding dress shop I work for (Helen Miller Bridal). This was my first experience in front of the camera and boy was I nervous! Lena was great at making me feel comfortable and coached me through what I was supposed to say and tempering my nervous movements. I know for a fact I was SIGNIFICANTLY more awkward in the video than the final cut, so she is definitely skilled at selecting only the perfect moments while mixing it with gorgeous scenes of the store! Lena worked great with
