Hi, I'm Jesse, an award-winning, international wedding filmmaker. I love to tell stories in a strong and original way. My work today is all about STORYTELLING and the PEOPLE that help move your story along. I have been part of so many incredibly personal moments, memories, laughs, tears, and emotions over the past decade. I understand the magnitude of what it is I do. My passion is telling your unique story and I'd love to be the first and maybe only professional you hire to document your life!

I am truly so thankful for Jesse and his team. His talent in catching and documenting special moments on your wedding day is beyond what you can anticipate. The art of taking those special moments and forming a video with music and voice recordings from the ceremony and speeches is not something just anyone can do. I have to say, our wedding videos are BEYOND. The more we watch them, the more thankful we are to have hired Jesse and his team. Besides the fact that Jesse was so wonderful to work with from our first phone call to the day of our wedding, he is so kind and has amazing attention to detail. He caught everything on our video "wishlist" and gave us some of the best tips before the wedding. He asked for our vows, speeches, and ceremony script ahead of time and then incorporated video shots with special words as they are played. All around, incredible! I'd hire him again in a heartbeat and recommend him to no end!

We hired Brendan Reiss to film our wedding. Brendan was easy to communicate with and was able to answer all of our questions. The way Brendan filmed our wedding was truly magical. One unique thing Brendan did was filming aerial views of our wedding venue with his drone. He used top of the line equipment to film our wedding and didn’t miss any important shots. The highlight video and long video Brendan provided us was breathtaking. The videos were high quality, and the music chosen truly matched our wedding.

Sagebrush Films specializes in candid, natural wedding films. Weddings are awesome. Most wedding videos are corny. Sagebrush Films was created to fix that. We capture your day as it happens naturally, without the gimmicks and cheeseball editing. It should go without saying, but we film weddings for couples of any religion, orientation, color or creed.

Awarded Best of Zola
Most wedding videographers have no creativity. They recycle the same corny edit with a few speeches and a Michael Bublé song overlaid. Joel and his team are different. They delivered something that truly feels unique and fresh. Literally dozens of guest from our wedding have reached out to us and told us that we have the best wedding film they have ever seen. Working with Joel was a pleasure and we could not be happier with the end result! Our video is definitely something that we will cherish and revisit for many years to come. Thanks again, Joel!

We are passionate about filmmaking and can't wait to hear more about your love story!

Emily and Dominic are an incredible team to work with! The quality of the content they delivered to us was top-notch and truly captured all the little details of our big day.

- I love running, dogs, donuts, yoga pants, Parks + Rec, Sherlock Holmes and a ton of other random stuff. - I am originally from San Diego, CA so adjusting to Chicago winters has been ROUGH. - My husband and I love to travel and find new adventures together, but also really enjoy a night in having absolutely no plans. I personally have always been in love with stories. Reading them, listening to them and finally telling them. There is something so incredible about how good stories can draw out deep emotion. THAT is what I love.

Anchored films is hands down the best of the best in wedding videography. Katie and her team go above and beyond from start to finish, making the entire process easy and seamless for you (something we all need when it comes to wedding planning). Katie is truly an amazing person, with a great heart to serve others and make them feel comfortable when the nerves are at their peak on your wedding day. From her fun energy and enthusiasm, to her immense attention to detail, and overall professionalism in which she approaches her job, she will ensure that you ultimately receive exactly what you’re looking for in wedding video 10/10 times. She strives to give you a product that truly reflects you and your spouse. She told our story and our day far better than we could have ever imagined (Ephesians 3:20) and we are beyond grateful we chose her. She is so dedicated and committed to serving her clients and making sure they are thrilled and overjoyed with their wedding film. I promise you will get endless compliments from family and friends (if that matters to you) once they see the level of professionalism, care, and love that pours out of an Anchored Films wedding video. You will have this for the rest of your life and be able to continually reflect and celebrate the commitment and covenant you made to each other. Don't you want to be proud of the story that your wedding film will tell? I know we did. I wouldn’t recommend anyone else, genuinely. Thanks for everything Anchored Films :)

We believe that your event is just one chapter of your story. It's about the bigger picture.

We cannot recommend Stacy highly enough. During the planning process, she provided fun and helpful suggestions and helped to keep us on track. We checked in with her regularly to make sure that preparations were moving along apace. On the day itself, everything went *incredibly* smoothly, and we were able to relax and enjoy the company of our guests, dance, eat and drink, and simply have a wonderful time -- because Stacy knew all the vendors and handled everything and anything that might have otherwise come our way. We loved working with her!

But just a few months later and you have a literal masterpiece film to remember your one and only special day by.

HEY! I'M ASHLEY! Aka, Your Professional third wheel! I am so happy you dropped by! I am a uber bubbly, warm hearted, person who loves to order 3 drinks at Dutch Bros and say its for other people but really its just for me. When I am not spending my lifes savings at Dutch Bros, I am professionally following peeps in love and photographing their stories. I am a lover of true crime and murder podcasts! (But I mean who isnt! I just cant help it!) FUN FACT: I speak switzerdütsch, aka a German slang. My mom is originally from Switzerland and my dad from Jamaica, so you know I am always hungry for adventures (and new places to binge eat at).

Ashley is one of the most caring photographers I’ve ever had. She really went above and beyond even before I booked her. She sent out a timeline of how my session was going to go and even send me suggestions of what to wear. Then came the session, she made me really comfortable in my own skin and made me giggle so much with her awesome humor. I was really worried about how I would look, but when I saw the photos I was so happy I almost cried! She got all my best angles and captured my true personality in those photos!! If you want someone that goes above and beyond, takes care of your needs, and is FUN to work with and captures your best angles, SHE IS THE ONE!!!
