Oakhouse Wedding Films

  • Cinematic style
  • Serves Dakota, IL

Oakhouse is collective of filmmakers and videographers based in Rockford, Illinois, that are obsessed with making and telling great cinematic stories through video. What better way to tell one of the most important stories of your life than a film of your big day!

We had the most amazing experience hiring Oakhouse Wedding Films. We were first introduced to them when I stood up in a friends wedding and we met Taylor. We then attended a wedding and Taylor was at the event. We saw the results of both weddings and knew Oakhouse was the right vendor for us. Everyone at Oakhouse, Nick, Matt and more were so great and communicative throughout the whole process leading up to the wedding day. Our videographer was Taylor and he is absolutely amazing!! We had the best time with him and it was like you didn't even know he was there. My photographer and Taylor worked together like a dream and I feel like they captured all of the important moments for us. Taylor and my husband really hit it off and the groomsmen were raving about how great he was, (yes! the groomsmen were into it!!). We got our video in lightening speed and I couldn't have asked for someone better for our wedding day and would recommend Oakhouse and Taylor any day.

My husband and I hired Tom to shoot our wedding and I'm so glad we did! From our first meeting together, Tom was professional, communicative, and clearly passionate about his work. On the day of the wedding, he captured every single moment beautifully and I'm grateful to have the raw footage from him to relive the day. Less than 24 hours after our wedding, we received a teaser video to share with our friends and family. Both the teaser and the longer video Tom put together for us perfectly encapsulated the day.

Ashina was a joy to work with throughout the entire wedding process. We decided somewhat late in the game that we wanted to have our ceremony recorded, and Ashina went above and beyond to accommodate. She was open and upfront on pricing and expectations, and offered us a great deal. She responded to every question and request we had quickly. On the day of, she traveled a far distance over the 4th of July weekend to record our 20 minute ceremony. She was professional, and none of the guests nor wedding party even noticed she was there filming. She turned the final video around in about a week, and it was incredible video quality and sound, and included some wonderful shots of the crowd before the ceremony. We've only been married a few weeks and we've already watched it several times, and will enjoy it for years to come. We'd highly recommend Ashina to anyone looking for a wedding videographer!

Rosanna & Co. is very fortunate to have connected with Caleb Lee Productions. Caleb and Brittany were a kind, patient, and attentive video team for a February 2023 couple at The Drake Chicago. Our couple was really excited to work with Caleb and Brittany after their initial phone consultation--they felt very confident and comfortable when it came time for them to capture video on their wedding day. While Caleb and Brittany were present and professional as they worked, they were also very under-the-radar—organically capturing and documenting the couple, their day, and their details without interfering. Caleb truly knows what it means to be a part of a vendor team—ready and willing to work with the venue and other vendors to make sure the day is a success for everyone involved. His use of a drone and go-pros was the perfect way to capture this couple’s gorgeous décor, rooftop photos, and lively dance floor. And the icing on the cake? The turnaround time is quick.

Steve was amazing to work with. He makes everything so personal and takes the time to get to you know his clients to create a film that genuinely shows who you are as a couple. I have never been filmed before, and I was nervous about it... but I didn't even notice he was filming half the time because he made us so confrontable. Not only did he film the us, but he had a drone to capture the whole atmosphere of our weekend. He was so professional and FUN to be around and captured the important relationships that you would have wanted in your forever wedding film. A HUGE THANK YOU FOR helping keep the memory alive for the rest of our lives. I have had the film now for a few days and seriously need to stop watching it but i cant...its beautiful.
