I looked at SO MANY wedding videos and they were all so similar and cookie cutter. They were lacking something but I couldn’t put my finger on it. THEN I FOUND JIMMY SHIN. I watched his videos and found myself sobbing at strangers videos! He made me feel like I knew the bride and groom after just 7 minutes. He's so good! Jimmy will take your wedding video and turn it into the most beautiful story. The video he made for us just so beautifully captured my husband and I's day! It's a video i'll cherish for the rest of my life. I can't wait for our kids to be able to watch it. UGH, seriously hire this man and you won't regret it. Best wedding money we spent. https://www.youtube.com/watch?viVAKZzODr6E

Caleb Lee Productions

  • Storytelling style

  • Serves Ottawa, IL

Caleb Lee Productions is a family-owned wedding videography company operating out of Bartlett, IL. We are a husband-and-wife duo that is devoted to creating custom life event films. We look forward to capturing the uniqueness of your love story, with every detail and moment accounted for. Combining Caleb's passion for filmmaking with Brittany's strengths as a coordinator we aim to give you a seamless videography experience and an elegant final piece.

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.

Lawrence Connor Films

  • Storytelling style

  • Serves Ottawa, IL

I love coffee. I never leave home without it. I’m easy going. I love to chill. I’m a huge sports fan and I love watching Skip Bayless and others argue on Fox. Basketball was my first love and even in my thirties I still daydream about playing in the NBA. As a teenager, while most of my peers were listening to 2Pac and Biggie, I preferred Marvin Gaye, Al Green and The Temptations. I’ve been told that I have an old soul. At the end of the day I love life, I love my job and my customers always come first.

Awarded Best of Zola
It’s very important that the photographers and videographers not only get along with, but work well together. Making sure you’re not in each others shots and staying creative through the day. We had a great time working alongside Lawrence and his second videographer. I highly recommend them for your big day!

Maloch Media

  • Storytelling style
  • Serves Ottawa, IL

I became indulged in the story-telling of my wedding couples. Being surrounded by the excitement, sometimes nervous couples, and their loving families and friends made the filming such a rush. Then to have the honor to edit a film where their personalities and love shine through is the greatest privilege. I want to take them on a journey back in time to the most epic day where they laugh and cry with all their family and friends. I make films that last the ages. I love to think about how my couples might show their kids or even grandkids someday.

It is so hard for me to write a review on Maloch Media, because it is so hard to put into words how exceptional they are. Trevor and his team are such a joy to be around on one of the most important days of your life. Trevor wasn't just there as a videographer but there as a friend. Throughout the whole day he was making sure that I was comfortable and had what I needed, and he was there to comfort me during the overwhelming times. He exceeded any expectations that I may have had. I truly cannot say enough great things about him and his work, it is truly exceptional. Every time that we watch our wedding video we are just overwhelmed with emotions, the video makes us feel like we are reliving the day all over again. He captured things that we don't even remember seeing on our wedding day. His work is impeccable. Maloch Media is the perfect addition to any wedding, they are worth every penny and more!

  • Serves Ottawa, IL

Our approach to wedding filmmaking is simple- deliver the most sincere, organic recollection of the day by acting as unnoticeably as possible. By eliminating the pressures of being filmed, our couples are able to enjoy each moment of their day and be truly present in the experience, providing us with an authentic and emotional collection of frames. Weddings are our passion and we enjoy being able to assist with planning, coordinating and timeline creation throughout the months leading up to your big day. We’re with you every step of the way and are dedicated to creating the best possible version of your love story.

Rhys was great to work with!! He provided so much guidance leading up to the wedding day, going over my timeline and making recommendations based on how long he's seen things take. He also provides a list of suggested do's and dont's that you wouldn't realize have an impact on the video - it was so helpful!! Before the wedding he also has a prep call to go over all the details and any notes/requests we have for the videos (vibe we're looking for, any cinematic requests, song requests, etc.) He was another great presence to have the day of! We haven't gotten the video back yet but right after our wedding we got an email that lists out all the steps they take throughout video production. We've since gotten emails every time our video has moved to the next step. The communication from Rhys since we booked has been so incredible!

Hi, I am Emily! I'm happy that you've landed on my page. I specialize in covering videography as well as photography. I have been shooting weddings since 2013. I fell in love with watching people be in love! You can't find a better gig. I went on to receive my Bachelor of Arts in 2019. I've really been able to put my education to work in regards to all things wedding films. When I'm not shooting weddings, I am doing real estate photography, binge watching Bob's Burgers and Saturday Night Live, or most likely eating something delicious. ;)

Awarded Best of Zola
We couldn't have been happier to hire Emily for our videography. Like many other 2020 couples, we downsized our event to be an intimate ceremony. We last minute decided to hire a videographer, and luckily for us Emily was available! Our day was pretty chaotic with a lot of moving pieces, and she went with the flow with patience and kindness. By the end of the night, we felt like she had been a friend forever. The video is absolute perfection, and we are so thankful she saved the day last minute and gave us an impressive video to share with our family and friends who could not be in attendance. If we could give more than 5 stars on every category, we would!

Musaab is the man! From the first point of contact to after the wedding day, he has been wonderful to work with. Musaab is very professional and very good at what he does behind the camera. He made my wife and I feel like 1 million bucks on our wedding day. His ability to capture the small details and special moments of our big day is impeccable and we will forever cherish the memories he was able to record for us. His vibe is really cool, he's the type of guy you want to go get drinks with or invite over for a good barbeque to hang and solve the world's problems with. Would totally recommend Musaab for your wedding videography!

Films by Emelie

  • Storytelling style

  • Serves Ottawa, IL for additional fees

I grew up in a small town on the west coast of Sweden and while my heart will always long for the ocean breeze, I have made Indiana my home together with my husband, Ryan, and our three children, Felix, Axel and Elinora. I specialize in wedding films that capture all those fleeting moments; the nerves, the excitement, the happy tears, the joy, and the pure love unfolding on one of the most special days of your life.

My husband and I had the pleasure of having Emelie shoot the video for our wedding in April 2020. When we chose Emelie we had planned a large extravagant wedding at our venue with 250+ people. With the pandemic hitting our country just the month before our big day we were stuck with a ton of options and not really knowing what to do. We decided to go through with our wedding plans on our original day but we were only allowed to have 10 people there- including ourselves. There was absolutely no doubt in my mind that Emelie would be one of those 10 people no matter what, and I have never regretted that decision. Emelie captured our day and our love perfectly. I think my favorite thing about her is that she is so quiet that you barely realize she is there but the creative juices are flowing through her and that really shows in all of her videos. My favorite thing to do (probably once a week) is watch our video and cry many happy tears. I love the way she tells all of her couples love stories, but especially ours. My best advice is if you’re thinking about video but don’t know how to fit it in your budget- FIND A WAY! Save all the pennies and throw them toward Emelie. You will never regret it.

I began my filmmaking journey twenty years ago in middle school, making silly videos with my friends in the backyards of Indiana. Somewhere along the way I got a chance to film a wedding and I haven't looked back since.

As a wedding venue owners of The Wilds Wedding Venue in Bloomington, Indiana (www.thewildsvenue.com), we have had the unique opportunity to work alongside several amazing wedding industry vendors. In doing so, we’ve grown to greatly appreciate Mitchell Gaston Films. Their team is not only incredibly talented, but are also experienced, true professionals. If you're looking for an amazing videography experience and film, look no further!
