A Stellar Wedding Videography Experience I couldn't be happier with the exceptional work of Brittany and Caleb for our wedding on August 10th. From the moment we first contacted them, their professionalism and friendliness were evident. They were incredibly easy to work with, making the entire videography process a breeze. While there was a slight change to their packages after we signed the contract, they were completely upfront and transparent about the adjustments, ensuring we were fully informed and comfortable with the updated options. This honesty and open communication were greatly appreciated. The teaser video they created was absolutely stunning, capturing the essence of our special day perfectly. We were so impressed that we immediately wanted to see more footage. Their creativity and skill were evident in every shot, and they managed to capture the most beautiful and meaningful moments of our wedding. One of the highlights of our experience was their willingness to go above and beyond. When I asked for a specific clip of a speech from the reception, they not only provided it but also gave me the entire speech free of charge. This generous gesture was a testament to their commitment to customer satisfaction. Overall, we are incredibly grateful to Brittany and Caleb for their outstanding work. Their talent, professionalism, and dedication made our wedding videography experience truly unforgettable. If you're searching for a videographer who will capture the magic of your special day, I highly recommend Caleb and Brittany!

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!

- 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 came recommended to us from a close friend and we could not brag about Katie & the team enough. From our very first conversation, Katie was an absolute dream to work with and exceeded every expectation we had on the delivery. Since we had a Catholic & Hindu wedding, we had a lot of details to work through and when I tell you I never doubted Katie, I NEVER. DOUBTED. KATIE. The Anchored team truly makes you feel like you're the only couple they're working with and if you stalk their social like I did, you know they're keeping busy over there! I had a very specific vision on how I wanted to remember our wedding days and now I wish I could hire Katie to capture every moment of our lives. From the bottom of our hearts, we're so grateful to have worked with you and know you'll make future couples just as obsessed with your work!

We believe there’s nothing in this world more powerful than a good story! Yes, we borrowed that from Game of Thrones (thanks, Tyrion). But hey, it perfectly sums us up—minus the dragons and drama. We craft unforgettable wedding films that turn your love story into pure cinematic magic!

We were so lucky to work with Kurt, Stephen and Riane from KL Media for photo and video on our day! We were so pleased with the teams professionalism, punctuality and friendliness, fully adhering to our shot list while allowing us to be ourselves. We were so excited to receive our teaser video and photos so quickly after the wedding and our full video and assets just a month later! They sent us an amazing keepsake box to store our personalized USB and we're so looking forward to the photo book they're developing for us. An amazing value for quality photo and video assets and an incredible photo/video team.

  • Serves South Elgin, 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!

  • Serves South Elgin, IL

I'm a wedding filmmaker based out of Chicago, IL and I love my job. It’s been nearly 4 years since I was asked to film my first wedding. Capturing the emotion, the details, and love portrayed from each couple’s special day has been unimaginably rewarding. I am thankful to everyone who has placed their trust in me to capture one of the most important days in their lives. When I’m not working I’m most likely trying to improve my latte art on my Breville Barista Express espresso machine or most importantly spending time with my beautiful wife and daughter. My goal is to create a family heirloom which can be passed down for generations to come.

Luis was incredible to work with. He is truly an artist. His work exceeded anything that we could have ever imagined. We knew that we could rely on Luis to deliver but OMG, the first time that we watched our wedding film our jaws dropped to the floor! It felt like we were watching a Hollywood movie! His storytelling and attention to detail are absolutely breathtaking! We truly can’t thank you enough Luis! To anyone considering hiring a wedding videographer, look no further and hire Luis. He’s the best!

We're all about telling epic love stories – no cookie-cutter stuff here. Based in Miami but up for an adventure anywhere, we're not your average wedding videographers. Think of us as your partners in memory-making. We'll be there laughing, dancing, and capturing every crazy, beautiful moment. Our mission is simple: make your love shine. No rules, no boredom. Your love story is one-of-a-kind, and that's how we approach filming it. We're not just about the big scenes; we're into the little details, the stolen glances, the goofy grins – everything that makes your love yours.

Awarded Best of Zola
We are so thrilled to be writing this review because we simply cannot speak highly enough of Trey and TreeHouse. We have never worked with video for another event before, so we weren’t sure quote what to look for, but came across Trey’s videos and could immediately tell they were something special. We’re both musicians and also appreciated how well the edits synced with the music as well. We were hoping that our wedding video would have a documentary feel — capturing the beautiful natural location in New York’s Catskill mountains and the feeling of our group of people coming together to celebrate us. It was a laid back wedding and a really amazing group of loved ones and we wanted to see and hear things that wouldn’t be captured in photos and we wouldn’t be able to take in at the time. Trey helped craft a specific package to meet our request and speaking to him it was clear he understood what we were hoping for and built on that vision with his perspective. Wow! Trey delivered!! He brought in a second shooter, Brent, who was so helpful in capturing the day. Not only were they truly amazing people to be around (all of our friends and family were so comfortable and at ease with them), they were exceptionally professional and skilled. They kept us calm and collected in the midst of details and a tight wedding day schedule. Watching the videos was an emotional experience because Trey managed to capture the feeling of the wedding celebration perfectly and get candid and intimate interviews with our friends and family that touched us (and were new to us) months after the wedding. It was clear just how carefully Trey had listened to us in our meetings leading up to the wedding — he heard us and did an amazing job bringing our dreams to life. I really wish I had videos like this capturing other important times in my life. If you are considering whether to get a videographer for your special event or wedding, you absolutely should. If you are considering Treehouse Creative, I cannot recommend it highly enough as people and as professionals! Seriously!

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!

I love it when my couples relax, go with the flow, and enjoy themselves.

I really don't even know where to start!! From start to finish, Jazmin was so amazing, sweet and kind! My wedding video is SOOOO FREAKING BEAUTIFUL and makes me and my husband cry every time! Best decision EVER! Every single important moment of my wedding day was captured, even moments I didn't even realize were being filmed or moments I didn't think I needed! She never missed a beat and was so professional and amazing! The time, effort, and passion she puts into her work is something most people dream of, but me, my husband, and our families witnessed it firsthand, and it's so beautiful and comforting (especially on a stressful day like a wedding)! My guests LOVED her because she was so considerate of them as well, making sure she wasn't blocking their view if she could help it, and just being kind and interacting with them throughout the entire day! Months before my wedding, she was prompt, professional, communicative, and laid out everything as far as what we should expect before, during, and after our wedding. I am so so glad we went with Jazmin and Jayzie Kaye Wedding Films!! I don't plan on getting married again lol, but working with her is an experience I would repeat if I could! Thank you so much Jazmin for being the most beautiful human being (inside and out) that I have ever met! You are a true gift!

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.

Trevor and his team are some of the best in the business in central IL! I have had the pleasure of working with them at weddings. They are professional, hardworking and a great asset to anyone's big day!

Your wedding or elopement is one full of raw moments, and it is our job to weave these together cohesively. We always approach each film with a detail-oriented eye, considering you, the film, the composition, the audio, the lighting, and everything in between, to ensure we achieve a comprehensive film with an emotional impact. It is also a priority of ours that your film resonates with your spirit. That it represents you, your story, your love, and your style authentically. That's why we get to know you and your partner well and cater to your preferred look.

My husband and I recently got married in December, 2023. I'm so grateful we hired Rick and his team to be our videographer!! I would highly recommend using them. Rick was very professional and supportive throughout the entire process. We set up a few calls while being engaged to prepare for the day. He also worked really well with our photographer to gameplan for the day. This was HUGE because they were able to work together to obtain all the shots needed and didn't step on each other's toes. Rick put together a 2 minute clip of the day, and I watch it everyday! The shots he chose and the music he tied with it was so meaningful. It was a perfect video to showcase the day. I shared it on social media. He also put together a full 45 minute video of the day that includes special events and speeches of the day, so we won't forget anything special that happened! Again, we are so grateful we worked with Rick. He captures all the special moments and now we have his work to look back on the wonderful day! Thank you!
