Ari is an incredible videographer, and my husband and I are so grateful that we picked him for this job. To be honest we didn't budget much for our video because we didn't think it would be that important to us. In my search for a decent videographer I came across his website and fell in love with his work. As result of this we now have ourselves an incredible piece of work that perfectly captures our day. He is so taleneted and his work is clean, innovative and nothing like I ever imagined a wedding video to be. He is also the nicest guy and helped make the day fun and easy. He is unobtrusive and does his job without becoming a feature on the day. I really could not be happier with his work and the final product. I have told him that he is one of my absolute favorite vendorsand I really mean it. You will not be dissapointed!
Ari, Thank you so much for the gorgeous job you did shooting our wedding video.Ryan and I absolutely love it! The highlight video you made is fantastic…we watch it over and over again. Every single person who watches our video absolutely loves it. Your ability to make our dream day such a beautiful memory is beyond words. You have an amazing talent. Ryan and I, as well as all of our families, can't thank you enough.
You grabbed all the magic that occurred that day and brought it to life through your artistic talent. I also appreciate how calm and unobtrusive you were on our wedding day. I was amazed when I saw the footage because I didn't realize you were there capturing all of the moments and details. You did a fantastic job on everything. You got all of the perfect shots and truly captured the beauty of the day. You do fabulous work. I will definitely be recommending VIP to all of my friends. Thank you so much!!
Ari and his team were truly a pleasure to work with and we appreciate everything they did for us. My new husband and I are so thankful that we chose to have our special day captured professionally on DVD. Before our wedding, I was hesitant to invest in video in addition to professional photography. It wasn't until we were able to watch the finished DVD after our wedding that we realized how truly special it was to be able to relive our wedding day. Being able to relive our day was especially important to my husband and I since we both felt that our wedding flew by so quickly, and that, as the Bride & Groom, we had missed out on, or didn't remember, many important details. Looking back, I realize how difficult it was to recognize how important the DVD would be to us, until seeing VIP's finished work.
It is my strong recommendation for all brides-to-be to make the investment in a professional produced DVD for your big day.
VIP really went above and beyond the call of duty in not only capturing our special day, but also in his skilled and creative production of our Wedding DVD. My new husband and I are very pleased to have chosen such great talent as VIP to capture & preserve our special day on DVD.
Hey Ari! We received the DVD's and it turned out AMAZING! I LOVE the case and the highlights to our day is perfect! You and your team did an amazing job and we would like to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for helping us document the most important day of our lives! Bravo!
This was Mallisa's response when asked if the DVD was better than she expected.
To be honest, yes! I was used to watching my sister's wedding video from like a decade ago (that wasn't very good) so the quality of our video just blew that away... I guess I didn't really think about it too much because I wanted to be surprised. What I mean to say is that I knew it would be good because I have seen your stuff before but the way you edited everything was so clever... it felt like a movie! I guess it is just different when it is your wedding. Thanks again!!
VIP was recommended to us by a photographer and right from the first meeting we knew we had met the right company to capture our precious memories.
I knew from the sample clips on their website that VIP was very creative, and after meeting Ari, we found his enthusiasm enticing, and his budget quote was not unreasonable! Their work just speaks for itself and you really get what you pay for.
We had two separate functions, one at our home in Santa Monica, and one at a restaurant in Beverly Hills. Both days were PERFECT! Ari and his team were very hard working, professionally dressed, and unobtrusive.
We really loved seeing our clip on their Blog and we sent the clip around the world many times over. The final DVD's are incredible and we are absolutely thrilled with them.
Our DVD's are the best Wedding videos we've ever seen, and we will recommend Ari Perilstein and his team whenever we can. Actually, we recommended VIP to our close friends 60th Birthday party and the video is better than I thought it would be. VIP delivers and always exceeded our expectations.
Thanks so much and we look forward to seeing you at our events in the future.
Thank you so much for everything! It all feels like a blur now and it was wonderful to have something to look at and remember certain moments. The video was soooo amazing!!!! You really are so creative and we feel that we couldn't have made a better decision than using VIP and will recommend you to everyone we know. The actual DVD captures everything that we felt, and we are so happy that we put the memories of such a special time in the hands of VIP. Thank you again!!!

I would like to take this opportunity to express our complete and total gratification to Ari Perilstein and his staff for their magnificent work at our son's March 22, 2008 wedding. From the moment we met Ari and viewed his "artistic achievements", we all knew that we had chosen the right company. We had interviewed 7 other videographers first and once I saw Ari's presentation, we knew that we didn't need to look any further. He is an extremely personable, accomodating young man who made the experience sheer joy from beginning to end. His work speaks for itself, but I wanted to address his character and personality. He completely gets the flavor of the day and did everything within his ability to make it magical for our family. He captured every moment without our ever realizing he was around. The smallest details are on our video for us to cherish forever.
Videography is something that bride's and their families tend to leave for last on their vendor list. I did the same thing as well. I was fortunate to find someone who we immediately connected with and left enough in our budget to hire someone of his capablities. It is a mistake to leave videography for the last to hire. When Ari delivered our video (after only 6 weeks), we were captivated by the whole experience all over again. Seeing the magic of the day and re-living it in such a glorious video made us all realize how necessary and important it was to make sure the videographer is right on top in terms of the first vendors to be hired.
To sum this up, when my daughter gets married next May, I am considering flying Ari to Israel to record her special day. If you would like to speak with me, please contact me at:
Boy did we get blessed!Choosing vendors for a wedding is a trying and difficult task and we relied heavily on other people to assist us in this process. Our Wedding Planner suggested VIP and Ari Perilstein as Videographer; we had no idea what to expect. Well, Ari came out to meet us, did you get that? HE came out to meet us; we didn't have to go meet him.
Immediately we knew this was different. When Ari arrived, he was very polite andpersonable, almost "unflappable" as even my corny jokes and twisted wit did not faze him. He genuinely wanted to know "us"and we opened up to him explaining what we really wanted. He was unbelievable! On our wedding day he and his partner were "all over" from beginning to end. Within 3 days we had a 4 minute "teaser" video compilation on his blog of our special day. Another gentleman we work with had been married months earlier and when he heard us playing the teaser video he was irate that he hadn't even heard from his videographer. As promised we had the full wedding on DVD within 6 weeks. It is spectacular, and so well done that we can literally "re-live" our wedding day, over, and over!
Ari was amazing, the music and video mesh together so well it's like they're dancing together. We couldn't be happier! Oh and the other guy, he's still waiting for his video...
My wife and I were referred to VIP productions by a friend and had a very pleasant experience from the start. The price seemed reasonable up front but after we saw the amount of work that went into the whole project, we knew we had come across a great deal.
Ari was professional and very accommodating to our increasingly busy schedules. He got a feel for our personalities and tailored the Love Story, Picture Montage, and wedding video to match us.
We highly recommend V.I.P. for professional, reliable service with an end product of superior quality.
Hi Ari The video was absolutely perfect. You really captured all the love. We all cried when we watched it. We are both very happy to have had you a part of our wedding. Thanks so much again. Darby and Amber
Ari, WE LOVE IT! Senthuran and I are both extremely pleased and impressed with the way the video turned out. It really exceeded my expectations and left big smiles on both of our faces as we were watching them. We both really appreciated your creativity and artisitic touch, as it made the video unique. I don't think either of us were aware of how a GOOD wedding video could/would look, since we were so used to the cheesy ones. But ours turned out wonderfully and not cheesy in the slightest sense. The transitions between the scenes were very smooth and we liked the special effects! It gave the video the look of "professional completion". We also were pleasantly surprised that the music worked out so well! I know it must have been a little confusing but you really seemed to know which music fit the scene. It really was fun to watch and turned out beautifully. You made sure all the traditonal aspects of the wedding were included and really did a thorough job.I really liked the angles you used as well (i.e. not too close, etc). I also liked the style --It was very natural, not forced. You knew what angles would work at specific points in the ceremony and reception. All in all, we couldn't say more about how happy we both are about the final result!
It really was a pleasure to watch the videos and we appreciate all your hard work. I know the day was long and you must have worked long hours editing the video. But it turned out beautifully and we really look forward to recommending you to friends that may be getting married or have other big occasions coming up in the future.
Thanks so much for all your hard work! We are genuinely happy!
VIP was so easy to work with. They were on top of everything! I felt they were very personable and professional. They started out by showing us a sample dvd which they had done in the past, which really gave me comfort in knowing what I was going to get. Also, they were very reasonable and had lots of options of packages to choose from. As well, they tailor-made the package to fit our needs. On the wedding day, they were prompt and dressed appropriately. They did not interfere with the actual ceremony at all and we didnt even notice them there. It didnt take away from the day at all! I was so amazed with the final product, it was more than I expected. We even got to choose the music for the video. I am so happy I choose VIP for my videography needs. I am more than pleased with the results and am so glad that I can enjoy watching it over and over again, for many years to come!
Ari,
Thank you again for your effort the day of our wedding and with the editing, it really shows in your work. We especially liked that you captured several of the formal pictures, the shots at the park, the interviews from our family and friends, and the wedding highlights at the end. Also, you were very easy to work with which we totally appreciated!! :-)

Boy did we get blessed!
