Vitaliy Lyubezhanin
Filmmaker, Father, and Small Business Owner in Sacramento, California
I grew up loving cinema. A camera was my toy. When I got a chance to start a wedding videography business with my uncle and brother in 2005, I did. Working at my first wedding business, I mastered many new techniques in art, filming and editing. In 2010, my brother and I founded Aperina Studios to continue growing our passion, kickstarting my full time career as the Executive Producer. Influenced by many leading videographers, I pursue even a greater standard, hoping that one day through my dedication and hard work, I will make an evolution in wedding art.
I am a self-taught cinematographer who received his training from online forums, YouTube, Vimeo and Ugol Studios, where I currently have a part time position. Working for Ugol Studios taught me many professional aspects of videography and gave me an edge over other wedding cinematographers - a professional training. I enjoy what I do.
When not behind a computer you may find me in my garden or around legos. Recently, I got married to a beautiful woman Ilona and have 2 handsome boys. My family make me smile each day.
