Better Half Wedding Video

Chicago, IL
  • Documentary style
  • Starts at $3,000

Better 1/2 started in 2011 in the San Francisco Bay Area. In 2019, I relocated to Chicago. I've filmed about 30 weddings for couples with a range of venues and guest counts. What's consistent is my style, which is personal and beautiful. I tell each couple's wedding story in a tailor-cut video, highlighting the big moments and spotlighting the small ones.

Working with Jenn was as much of a dream as our wedding. I told Jenn I wanted a docu-style video - something with a beginning, middle and end. She exceeded expectations by using our first dance and allllll the practices we had as the main focal point. We are so happy with our video. Our family is so happy with the video. It perfectly encapsulates the hard work we put into hosting a wedding, but the immense love we felt from our guests and for one another. Affordable, kind, and accommodating, Jenn is the best new wedding videographer here in Chicago. Highly recommend Jenn for your special day. You will not regret it.

We’re Hungry Heart Films, a husband and wife wedding team in Chicago. We believe the best wedding films are unexpected and sincere, the kind of film that can transport you back to the feeling of that awesome day every time you watch it! Your vibe as a couple is unique and your wedding film should be too! We capture your day as it naturally unfolds, whether you're on the quiet side or throwing a rager to remember.

We're so happy we booked Brian and Rebecca of Hungry Heart!! They were both so open, honest, and answered all of questions before we even had a chance to ask them. We both don't love being in front of a camera and were worried about having both a photographer and videographer at the wedding, but Brian and Rebecca were so respectful of our space. They were the perfect combination of warm, approachable, and professional. Our final film is so beautiful, we've already watched it a million times. Thank you both so much!

So… After 2019, I decided that 2020 was going to be the year. It was going to be the breakout year for weddings and events. Filming every other weekend, capturing all the precious moments that every videographer cries over in their editing room about. I prepared my box of tissues at hand, (100 boxes in fact). All the beautiful moments in 2020, I couldn’t wait! Well that never happened! But here we are in 2022! It’s time to get the dress, get the photographer, walk down the isle and have the wedding of your dreams. My name is Andrew McCarthy, I would love to film your wedding :)

My husband and I were looking for videographers for our wedding when we met Andrew. In addition to Andrew, we met with another small business owner who had been in the industry for 10 years and a large, well established business. To be honest, we were on the fence about having a videographer due to the skyrocketing cost of our wedding however, after watching some Wedding videos we decided that it was important to us. As I mentioned, we met with a few different business owners. I usually make my decisions based on reviews and previous work. Andrew provided all of that to us but the other businesses we were talking to obviously had more in their portfolios since they have been around for some time. We decided to move forward with Andrew because of the gut feeling that we got from him. He was so extremely kind, attentive, flexible, determined and we could tell that he would do an amazing job with capturing our wedding! The day of our wedding, it rained and our day of coordinator turned out to be more hands off than we had anticipated. This basically left a huge gap in our wedding. Andrew was 1 of 3 of my wedding vendors who stepped in and really helped make sure that I didn't worry about anything other than enjoying my wedding. He absolutely did more than what his job was for that day (like getting the bride water and directing guests etc.). At the end of the night, we even had 2 additional hours left per our contract so Andrew came to our afterparty to capture some additional footage. If you're considering Andrew for your event, take my word and book him!!! He has a heart of gold and will treat your wedding like it's his own sister's/brother's wedding. We are so glad to have met Andrew and know that he will be so successful!!!

  • Serves Chicago, IL

Brent is considered one of the top wedding cinematographers based out of the Northeastern USA. He frequently travels the globe, documenting weddings for couples who deserve the best of the best. After growing up in Central Jersey, Brent chose to move down to Nashville for college and then shortly after graduation, officially founded 550Park out of New York City. He is a passionate tennis player, chef, and world adventurer.

I feel like I could write for hours about our experience with Brent. From the moment I first spoke with Brent I knew I had found exactly what I was looking for. As much as I loved our wedding and it truly was the most amazing weekend of our lives, sometimes when so many things are going on you aren't able to be apart of everything. The way Brent made himself available for most of our weekend to video not just our ceremony and our reception but our rehearsal dinner, the property, testimonies from our friends and family and just overall capturing the whole vibe of our wedding. Moments. That is what we wanted for this weekend. Was for everyone to have a least one moment where they felt nothing but love. I am beyond happy Brent and Cam were there to capture our special weekend and for any of my friends getting married I will recommend them over and over again. Thank you so so much Brent!

Awarded Best of Zola
I found Saja through a tagged video of my wedding venue (The Glen Manor House) midway through planning, and was immediately sold! Her artistry, talent and the opulence mirrored my vision so much that I ended up firing my previously booked videographer! So if you’re reading this, and you already booked a videographer; you may need to reconsider because every bride needs a Saja on her wedding day! She is personable, professional and extremely considerate! The produced work is phenomenal and is a keepsake that will transcend family generations!! You regret hiring Mawaddah Productions for your big day!

LEAP Weddings

After graduating from the University of Iowa with a degree in film, I hit the ground running and began LEAP Weddings, which allowed me to do something I truly love - create films, every weekend. LEAP has taught me how to improve my skills as a filmmaker, editor, producer, leader and entrepreneur and, as a result, I have been able to build three more companies - The BMP Film Co., Epoch Studio Salon, and Our Days. It's been a great run so far and, from the looks of it, I don't really plan to stop running anytime soon. Thank you for checking us out and I look forward to working with you.

My husband and I hired LEAP to film our wedding in 2019 and we are so glad we did! They filmed my brother's wedding a few years before and I knew they were our top choice for ours. From the initial appointment, the LEAP team talked to us and to hear about who we are, our relationship, and our vision for our wedding. They were easy to talk with, fun to be around, and very professional. On our wedding day, the entire team was great to have around. The were comfortable to talk to, but not intrusive, and they were able to capture everything from the big moments to the little details. The final product was so beautifully put together and truly encapsulated our favorite and most memorable parts of what we had envisioned. When we received our video, it was so much fun to relive our wedding day and I am so grateful to have it for the rest of our lives. I cannot recommend LEAP Weddings highly enough!
