Shutter and Sound

  • Cinematic style

  • Serves Island Lake, IL

Hi! Courtney here (that's me on the left!). Shutter and Sound is the brainchild of renowned wedding videographer Ryan Geldermann. Ryan began his wedding videography career in 2010 in Los Angeles and quickly became recognized as one of the top videographers in the U.S.. After relocating to DC and still receiving countless inquiries from all corners of the country, Ryan decided to recruit and train a few talented friends so he could continue offering the quality wedding videography he’s known for in SoCal and eventually over 10 cities. Shutter and Sound is a very small group of filmmakers dedicated to turning your big day into a work of art.

Awarded Best of Zola
We are thrilled with the stunning work of Shutter and Sound! Their highly talented videographers perfectly captured all the love and memories of our wedding day, and helped preserve them in film. Reliving the day by watching our highlight video brought us and our family to tears of joy. Every beautiful moment was captured with crystal-clear visuals from getting ready with our wedding attendants to our sparkler send off at the end of the night. The drone footage and details shots also perfectly blended with the rest of the film and helped set the stage for our perfect day. We can’t thank Shutter and Sound enough for the creativity and care they put into making our wedding video. I highly recommend!

But, the Eivan's team was quick to come up creative ways to capture the moment and patient under chaotic times. I could not have been happier with the photos or the experience.

I started communicating with Tom less than two months before our wedding date because I had a moment of panic and realized I would regret not having video at our wedding. I am so grateful that our weekend was one of the few weekends in June he was not booked. Tom was so easy to work with, and the shots that he got were amazing! My husband really wanted to prioritize photos over video, so we communicated that to Tom and he let our photographers take the lead on everything without getting in their way, but at the same time he didn’t miss any important shots. He also helped to capture the first look prank that I had pulled on my husband with his best man in a wedding dress, that was featured in the one minute teaser he sent us the day after the wedding. It. Was. Incredible. I didn’t actually get to see the prank because I had to hide for our actual first look, so I’m so glad Tom captured it on video it was just so funny. It also rained in the middle of our ceremony so we ended up getting married in a downpour, and the slow motion shots that Tom got of me and my husband kissing in the rain brought tears to my eyes. People always tell you that your wedding day will be a whirlwind and it’s over before you know it, but you don’t truly appreciate that until you’re in the moment. Then it’s midnight and it’s over and you wonder how the whole day just passed in the blink of an eye! We cannot wait to see the final edited video that Tom puts together for us. There was so much on the front end of things, people’s emotions, etc that I didn’t get to see as the bride walking down the aisle last. Deciding last minute to hire a videographer was one of the best decisions I made during this whole wedding planning process because now we have the opportunity to relive our wedding day! Tom also sent us all his raw video footage a week after the wedding and it has been so fun to basically enjoy our own wedding day from our guests’ perspective! I found Tom because he was the videographer at a friend’s wedding and she highly recommended him. I will definitely be recommending him to anyone I know who is looking for a wedding videographer in the future!

I am passionate about giving each couple’s wedding a cinematic feel, ensuring their emotions shine through every moment, whether it’s an intimate gathering or an extravagant reception. Filmmaking has always come naturally to me; I’ve loved working with a video camera since I was young. When I filmed my first wedding in 2016, everything fell into place, and my years of experience behind the lens helped me find my creative edge.

My husband and I hired Nathan and his team at ND Film & Media based on the amazing work featured on their Instagram. We just loved how Nathan and his team captured couples on the most special day of their lives. We were reassured we made the right decision after meeting with Nathan via Zoom before the big day. It was important to him that he and his team provided us with everything we had envisioned. They definitely delivered! They were all so great the day of the wedding. They arrived early and were all very professional, detailed, and kind. They captured moments I didn’t even realize were being recorded! I was so pleasantly surprised and ecstatic! Nathan and his team were able to provide us with our pictures and videos in a timely manner! Nathan also gifted us a sentimental surprise recently! He really didn’t have to do that but it was SO nice of him, and honestly expected because not only is he a professional in what he does, but he’s also a genuinely kind soul. I’m so happy we hired them to capture the best day of mine and my husband’s lives!

Time capsule films for memory collectors. Our ability to capture and preserve some of our most pivotal life moments really is a gift. Every film is intended to act as a time capsule for my couples to re-live in 25 years.

Kyrie is insanely easy to work with and made our wedding day feel so seamless and special. Her communication is spotless, consistent, and effective. Additionally, we were *floored* that a mere week after our wedding we received a minute long preview video that was more perfect than we could have imagined. After a year of working with her, she felt like not only our videographer, but also our friend and forever hype-woman. We will never be able to recommend her enough!

Mark and his team confidently tackled the task of live-streaming the service while also capturing amazing moments throughout the day. From the “must haves” in the ceremony to the creativity of the highlights reel, Flower Oak delivered on all levels. I come from a technical background (audio recording) and ran sound for our wedding, so being able to “talk nerdy” with Mark, while also being able to “let go” and let him and his crew do their thing to capture our special day was super exciting. He is friends with our photographer and having their collaborative energies together was the best of all worlds.

If you’re reading this review, you’re likely considering Steven and Wild Light Films as part of your big day. DO IT!! We were originally drawn to his unique style of work, music-video like approach, and storytelling ability in capturing the essence of people’s wedding days. Working with Steven was incredible and we can’t say enough about how much we loved his work. We booked him back in 2019 for our 2020 wedding, but of course with COVID we had to push it back a year. He was super flexible and accommodating, and we still figured out a plan to have video footage of an intimate ceremony in 2020, as well as the original plan for 2021. He did such an amazing job incorporating the two ceremonies together into one seamless video, which he turned around even quicker than we expected! Steven is a delight to work with—truly a genuinely kind person. His video editing craftsmanship and storytelling are compelling—rewatching our video + highlights felt like taking us right back to the memories and joy of our day. Do yourself and your future self a favor and get Steven to make your wedding video that you’ll cherish for years to come.

Any talented wedding videographer can create a romantic cinematic wedding film of your wedding but there's so much more to a wedding day than that. While we craft our videos around the love you share, the fun you have when it's just the two of you as well as the celebration with your family and guests is what really makes each story so unique. So, as you'll notice in the examples above, no two wedding highlight videos are the same. We do our best to customize each wedding video we create to fit the couple we're working with as well as the flow of the wedding day, which will allow you to relive your day the way that it actually happened!

We had the best time with him and it was like you didn't even know he was there.

Hello! My name is Brandon Wilson, together with my wife Rosaida; we own and run Brandon Wilson Films. We are a husband and wife team, we specialize in cinematic docuseries-style wedding videos. We love the real emotions and events of a wedding day. Our approach is a little different to filming weddings, we mic up more than just the couple, preferably some of the bridal party and some of the parents. This allows us to pull from real conversations, and constantly show the wedding how it unfolds.

My fiancé and i are shy people, but Brandon made us feel so comfortable during our engagement session. We laughed during the entire session, i would recommend them to anyone looking for a videographer. Once we saw our video we posted it immediately to share with our loved one. Absolutely amazing!

TLDR; Highly recommended! I can’t say enough wonderful things about our wedding videographer, Desmond! From the very start, his communication was exceptional—he reached out proactively, making the entire planning process so much smoother and less stressful. His punctuality and meticulous planning leading up to the wedding were a godsend during the stressful wedding planning process. What truly set him apart was his dedication to customizing our wedding video. He didn’t just capture generic moments; he went all out to tell our unique story. For example, he asked how we met and encouraged us to share our love story. Although my partner and I have been together for 13 years and thought our story might be too ordinary, Desmond captured the essence of our deep friendship, bond, and love for one another. We may see our relationship as casual, but he beautifully highlighted the family-like connection we share. Additionally, he generously suggested capturing our pre-day rehearsal dinner, an intimate gathering with just family and close friends and seamlessly incorporated it into the final video. Despite the challenging weather on the rehearsal day—rain and wind—he didn’t let it hinder his efforts. He captured the most authentic and memorable moments, proving his commitment and skill. Traveling from DC to Boston for our wedding, he ensured that all coordination was flawless, which was crucial for the wedding weekend. The beautiful aerial shots he included, capturing the mood and ambiance of the day, were the cherry on top of an already fantastic video. We couldn't be happier with the outcome and are so grateful for his exceptional work.

We are Aleksei and Victoria, a team of professional videographers. We are based in New York but shoot videos all over the world. Our experience in videography began in 2007, during this time we have done more than 1000 shoots. We mostly shoot weddings because we really enjoy it. We love it as much as other events, engagement videos, content shooting - this is only a small part of what we do.

From the start, they were incredibly attentive to our vision and offered creative ideas that perfectly captured our day. On the wedding day, they worked with such professionalism and subtlety, documenting every key moment and emotion without being intrusive. The final video is magical — emotional, beautifully shot, and perfectly edited. We can relive our day again and again, savoring each moment. Aleksei and Victoria are true masters of their craft, and we highly recommend them!

I HIGHLY recommend our videographer Justin at Villa films. Funny story was, we actually won a photo booth with him. That’s how we came across him and saw he also offered other services. We wanted to use him for one of his other services because we were so thankful for winning the photo booth. He just started in the wedding industry not too long ago, but he is an absolute dream to work with !! Even with eveything changing with COVID he has stayed consistent. Having our zoom meetings with him actually got me excited for our wedding again that we had in January. I was always able to reach him if I had any questions. My favorite thing was he worked with us and our budget. He would listen to everything that was impotent to us and what we wanted in the video. If your looking for videographers I would definitely talk to Justin. He is truly amazing at what he does!

This is the greatest day of your life! Weddings are a celebration of love and it's our privilege to tell the stories as they are. To show those raw emotions between the couple and their family and friends. Our approach is to bring out that authenticity. We capture real moments as they actually happen. We do this by keeping things really simple and relaxed. With our team, your wedding will be a warm, light-hearted environment. As we start filming, we want you to forget that we’re even there. Focus on yourselves and really embrace that love that you have for each other. 

All I can say is WOW! Daniel captured our day so beautifully. He was able to capture the true essence of our wedding and I couldn't be happier with the results of the videography. It was truly a one of a kind experience to be able to work with him.
