About Isaac Leka Films

Isaac Leka Films

I absolutely love what I do! It gives me great joy and humility to know what I create will live on for generations to come. The smiles, the dancing, the special moments, will only happen once. Never again will the same people be in the same room for the same reason. It is my responsibility to take the stress of you, and document this amazing occasion.

There is no cookie cutter system to my films. Every couple and story is different. Therefore, every film is unique to each couple. Telling thier love story in a way that is 100% them. That is the Isaac Leka Films way.

    Do not hire!

    Do not hire Isaac Leka. He will ghost you and take your money unless you fight him fiercely. I hired Isaac for my Oct 2024 wedding. He was personable and affordable. I signed a virtual contract and paid a 50% deposit. The stress began after the wedding. The deadline to receive my footage passed with zero communication. I sent multiple emails, texts, and calls with no reply. When I checked my contract, my access had been removed. I saw another bride’s review describing the same experience. When I finally got a response, he claimed he had just had a baby. I tried to be understanding, but the lack of communication was extremely stressful. He gave me a new delivery date that also passed with no communication. The pattern of ignoring me continued for months: May 19, 2025: I sent a formal request for a partial refund for the undelivered 1-minute social media trailer, with a deadline of May 30, 2025. He did not respond. May 21, 2025: He finally emailed, claiming the edited “last dance” video (with Super 8 footage) was a substitute for the teaser. I responded the same day stating this was never clarified and requested the original trailer. June 20, 2025: I followed up with no response. August 4, 2025: I sent another email asking for an update or a refund, noting it had been almost 10 months since the wedding. He did not reply. December 4, 2025: I reached out to a third party regarding the issue. Trusting my instincts, a friend reachedu out to him as a “potential client.” He replied INSTANTLY and was eager to schedule a consult. He would reply to her but ignore me. I eventually demanded a full refund, a copy of my contract, and threatened legal action. He sent me the contract. I strongly feel he removed the language about refunds for missed deliveries. After I demanded the video, contract, and refund, I received the video. The quality was fine but had a few rushed moments—I imagine he threw it together after I demanded it. My purchase included a social media trailer which I NEVER received. He claimed the “bonus” Super 8 footage replaced the trailer, which I never agreed to or was informed about. It had been months beyond my wedding. The stress was exhausting. I’ve only watched my wedding video once in 2 years because I associate it with the stress of worrying I was scammed out of 2,600. It’s unfair that he has done this to other brides. A wedding coordinator friend asked about my experience because her client had hired him. I shared everything and she was horrified. Unfortunately, that bride could not cancel. Last week I received an update that Isaac has now ghosted that bride as well. Isaac will take your money, film your wedding, and then avoid fulfilling his commitments. If you get a video at all, it will be average at best. Do not hire him.

    TERRIBLE DONT SPEND A DIME

    Isaac got "covid" a few days before our wedding and sent someone random to be our video guy (carlos was great honestly). Isaac completely ghosted us for months until i started bugging others like carlos to get an answer and then he blamed it all on carlos. we finally got our video back several months later, and then he thought it was all cool and offered us a fruit basket.. Seriously a terrible terrible experience. This guy tries to steel money...look at other reviews.

    2024 Fall Bride

    We have now waited almost a year and have not received any footage from our wedding. We have followed up many times via email and text message and received promised delivery dates only to now have Isaac cut off communication. I have reached out to other brides who were married around the same time (fall of 2024) who have also not received their videos. It is so sad to trust someone to capture your special day only to realize you may never get to see your first kiss, father daughter dance, or speeches ever again. If I could give zero stars, I would.

    No Delivery

    Delivered only partial video and cut off communication after requests and followups. Very unprofessional and shady business. Do not pay upfront.

    Beyond satisfied and extremely happy

    When I watched my wedding video I was blown away with the creativity and quality of Isaac's work! It was everything I didn't know I wanted since giving him complete control of direction and ideas. I was in the happiest of tears as I relived the most important day of my life in my wedding video. Man...I was blown away with how amazing it turned out and working with Isaac was so easy and what a professional guy!
