Caleb Lee Productions provided exceptional videography services for our wedding. Their communication style was quick, to the point, and thorough, which helped keep us informed and on track throughout the process. The quality of their work and value was outstanding - they were attentive, hardworking, and detail-oriented, capturing all the important moments of our special day. For example, when the bride became ill and the schedule had to change unexpectedly, they were able to quickly adapt and get all the necessary shots without disrupting the flow of the event.

We LOVE telling stories and what better story to tell than one of the best days of your life! We know wedding films can seem similar, but what truly makes them different is you! Your love and passion is the story and we are here to tell it!

Can't say enough positive things about Rhys, he was very easy to work with and produced the best wedding video I could have ever asked for! I chose him because I love how he layers in audio from the vows/speeches over the video footage - everyone was raving about our video and how they'd never seen anything like it! It was also so special seeing the full length video that he provides so we could relive the full ceremony and all the speeches. I also really appreciated how Rhys went above and beyond to produce a separate video for my father/daughter dance since we surprised everyone with an eight-song medley. Thank you Rhys for capturing the magic of our wedding day!

I wasn't born with a camera in hand, but I was born with a passion for telling stories. I started college with dreams of becoming a young adult writer, but a screenwriting seminar taught me that video can tell a story more powerful than words alone ever could. Now, instead of dreaming up fictional love stories, I get to document real ones.

Chelsea was a pleasure to work with leading up to our wedding and ensured our wedding day ran smoothly - from keeping us on schedule to helping bustle my dress, she truly overdelivered and was a blast to hang out with too! Her videos captured our day in such a classy, intimate way and we can't wait to watch them for years to come. Thank you for everything Chelsea!!

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!

Video Reflections

  • Serves Thornton, IL

In 2005 Tim started capturing wedding stories and founded Video Reflections. In 2018 his sons Trevor and Aaron caught his passion. Trevor, the lead videographer and editor, captures the imagination of couples with his out-of-the-box creativity. Aaron, assistant videographer and graduate of Columbia College Film School, is a visionary filmmaker. His portfolio includes several short films, documentaries and viral stop motion animations. In 2019 Abby joined the family team and now assists Tim with his recent addition of wedding photography.

I was looking very hard for a videographer that met our budget and delivered a high quality product. I spent more time searching for a videographer than any other wedding vendor because I was not happy with the majority of videographers I found on the internet. Video Reflections was one of only a few I contacted because I was impressed with the quality and artistry of their work. When we met Tim and Trevor, we were very happy with their professionalism and caring. They rolled with our unconventional plans, meeting us again a week before the wedding to make sure they understood our plans so they could capture them. We ended up buying the package that included a highlight video and a documentary and we are so happy with our decision. We were very budget conscious with our wedding but we knew that we wanted to prioritize the photography and videography so that we had the priceless memories. They are very reasonably priced compared to other videographers, but I would not have spent the money for a sub-par videographer if I did not like their portfolio. They did a wonderful job and were very calm and supportive the day of our wedding-very easy to work with. I loved seeing the parts of the day I missed and remembering parts that had flown by in the rush of it all, which, sadly, was a lot. My highest recommendation.

I was born and raised in Ukraine where I studied at a law school. When I moved to the USA in 2016, I dramatically switched my career path from a lawyer to a digital artist. I got a degree in Media Arts and Filmmaking and started shooting dance, fashion, music, and became a wedding videographer located in Chicago.

I don’t have enough kind words to express how great Sofiia was to work with. She truly has a gift for seeing the creative vision, telling stories, and finding pure magic without feeling like you’re acting. My husband was nervous about feeling like the moments we filmed being inauthentic or staged, but Sofiia works hard to let you be and capture real emotions. She’s passionate, so creative, and was someone we genuinely loved working with.

Travis and Emily’s relationship started around the same time that Bella Tiamo began back in 2011. A few years and a wedding later Emily went from being the tag along on a wedding day to a crucial part of the Bella Tiamo Team. A husband and wife team has a special dynamic that is hard to find in a solo shooter, or 2 videographers who have never worked together before. We are never duplicating each others shots or getting in the way of each other. We are working as a well oiled team complimenting each others strengths.

Travis and his crew have done an AMAZING job at Stonegate Manor. Our couples have been over the moon with the pictures and videos and we are always proud to showcase their work on our website and social media. They stay on the cutting edge of new technology. Simply wonderful.

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.

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!

Katie at 97 Films was an absolute dream to work with. If you're on the fence about spending the money on a wedding video, like I was- DO IT! The first time I met with Katie, she immediately put my mind at ease. She's down to earth, knowledgeable, professional, and extremely talented. I could not be more thankful that we made the decision to work with her. The day of the wedding she made my life so easy. She went above and beyond her videography responsibilities to make sure I was happy and having fun! Katie and her team made sure they captured all of the shots I wanted and more.
