Our wedding videos bring your day to life – allowing the two of you to relive every laugh, every tear, and every moment that went by in a flash. Your loved ones will thank you for allowing your celebration to serve as a legacy of family history for generations to come.

I cant say enough good things about our experience with Toast! Julianna was so communicative and fantastic with making sure that the memories of our day were captured perfectly! It's incredible that Toast has photographers nationwide that they contract with! Planning a destination -Oregon wedding from New York was made so much easier because of Julianna and her team! The photographer and videographer captured images and footage that were above and beyond what we ever dreamed! Plus, they were both beyond talented and great at directing us to make sure we got tge best images! Our photographer had a great idea to have me twirl and throw my dress, and it was one of the most beautiful images captured. Also, they were open to fun things we wanted to try. The editing process was seamless, and the product they produced was absolutely phenomenal. Like I said, highly recommend!

We were thrilled with the services provided by Reel Love Video for our wedding day. From the very beginning, Ash was warm, responsive, and professional in her communication. She worked with us to customize a videography package that fit our needs and budget perfectly. On the wedding day, Ash was discreet and unobtrusive, yet she was able to capture beautiful, artistic footage that truly reflected the spirit of our ceremony. We were so pleased by the quality of the final video, which included special moments and details that we had missed in the excitement of the day.

At Still Do Media, we believe your wedding deserves to be remembered beautifully. Choosing the right wedding photographer and videographer is one of the most important decisions you'll make, and we're here to make it easy.

Awarded Best of Zola
Still Do was so helpful and professional from the very first meeting. We booked for just videography services. Last week, our videographer was unexpectedly not available, but Still Do Media handled this situation very carefully and calmly, and they had a standby videographer in the backup team. Matt, our backup videographer, is amazing! He stepped in a few days before the wedding with professionalism and positive energy. He captured every detail in perfect style. I just had a little bad experience with how they deliver raw footage unprofessionally. Folders and clips are messed up and disorganized. But our experience with Still Do Media is incredible. We are always thankful for making our wedding such a memorable and joyful experience!

Mitchell Gaston Films

  • Documentary style
  • Starts at $2,000
  • Serves Algonquin, IL

I’m Mitchell. For more than ten years, I’ve been filming weddings across Indiana for couples who don’t want to feel staged or overly directed. My approach is simple: stay present, stay out of the way, and capture the day as it actually felt. I focus on real moments — the nervous laugh, the quiet glance, the way your people sound when they cheer. Wedding films aren’t about trends. They’re about memory. Styles change. Moments don’t. Your wedding deserves to be held for generations.

Mitchell Gaston Films truly went above and beyond to make our wedding day unforgettable. From the very beginning, Mitchell’s dedication and professionalism shone through. He held multiple Zoom meetings with me, ensuring every detail was tailored perfectly to my vision. On the big day, he and his wife traveled all the way from Indiana to Colorado for our intimate micro-wedding, seamlessly blending in with our family and making everyone feel comfortable. Mitchell is polite, respectful, and incredibly talented. When we received our wedding footage, my husband and I sat down together and were moved to tears of joy. He captured the magic, love, and beauty of our special day in a way that felt so authentic and heartfelt. It’s a keepsake that we, along with our family, will cherish forever. We couldn’t be happier with our decision to trust Mitchell Gaston Films with such an important moment in our lives. Thank you, Mitchell, for giving us a gift we’ll treasure for years to come! 3

We’re Hungry Heart Films, a husband and wife wedding team in Chicago. We believe the best wedding films are unexpected and sincere, the kind of film that can transport you back to the feeling of that awesome day every time you watch it! Your vibe as a couple is unique and your wedding film should be too! We capture your day as it naturally unfolds, whether you're on the quiet side or throwing a rager to remember.

We're so happy we booked Brian and Rebecca of Hungry Heart!! They were both so open, honest, and answered all of questions before we even had a chance to ask them. We both don't love being in front of a camera and were worried about having both a photographer and videographer at the wedding, but Brian and Rebecca were so respectful of our space. They were the perfect combination of warm, approachable, and professional. Our final film is so beautiful, we've already watched it a million times. Thank you both so much!

Food & Cake Wedding Films

HEYYY! *waves hands* We are Leandra & Clinton Cunanan, owners and lead videographers of Food & Cake Wedding Films. We are huge advocates for doing exactly what you want on your wedding day. We had the most epic wedding of all time (ask us about it!), but we didn't hire a videographer. And now this why we do what we do. It's the best feeling knowing each one of our couples will be able to relive their wedding day for the rest of their lives. We didn't have that, and now we get to give that to you!

I am so blown away by not only the quality of Clint and Leandra's work as videographers, but also what wonderful people they are! Not even halfway through our first zoom with them to talk about what packages they offer and our vision for the day I knew they were the perfect fit for us! Being with them on the wedding day felt like hanging out with old friends, they were amazing at blending in to the crowd to capture candid moments while also giving us prompts that created some of our favorite memories of the day. They worked so well with our other vendors and I don't think our day would have been complete without them. They are masters at what they do, and also the perfect people to have during a busy and, at times, stressful day (Leandra was able to bussle my dress when no one else could get the loop on the buttons AND snagged me some appetizers when I was resting my feet after the receiving line, she was a lifesaver!) My husband and I both teared up watching our trailer and highlight reel, and then happy cried getting to see our whole ceremony, private vows, speeches, and first dances. I know this is footage we’ll be so happy to look back on in the years to come, not just of my husband and I but of our whole families as well! I'm so happy we found Food Cake, you will not regret hiring this fantastic couple!

Hi, my name is Sean, and I love creating films. Being able to capture a day, an event, or a special moment for people to relive it, is why I do what I love, and I love what I do. Seeing how happy my clients are, inspire me to pursue more wedding films and making others feel just as joyful as these lovebirds. Because I enjoyed creating their love story, I know I want to create more films that other couples, like you, will cherish, remembering those special moments and little quirks you may otherwise forget as the years go by.

Sean was super easy to work with, he made us feel comfortable right away. He always emailed us back in a timely manner and listened to my very specific vision. He delivered a high quality wedding video we will cherish forever! Our family loved it and all commented what great quality it was! He was professional and worked well with our photographers. I would definitely hire him again!

Amanda was an absolute pleasure to work with. She captured all of the shots we wanted and more. Amanda didn't have to extend her time to capture us and our guests on the dancefloor but she did anyway! She worked well with all of our vendors to make our day perfect all while providing an easy going and calming presence. The quality of her work is outstanding. We highly recommend Amanda to those looking for a videographer.

We are not joking when we say that we hired Saja from Mawaddah productions at 8:30 am on our wedding day after realizing that we almost made one of the biggest mistakes by not having a videographer. And this was definitely the BEST decision we made. We were amazed that Saja not only managed to travel two hours from Boston to Alstead New Hampshire with a last minute notice for the job, but also exceeded our expectations by capturing all these priceless and unforgettable moments with little to no preparation other than a timeline flyer a few hours beforehand. The cinematography is insane: she films so beautifully and candidly, and her attention to details is unparalleled. Through her art and vision, she was able to translate this day which needless to say, went by overwhelmingly fast, into such a beautiful beautiful endless everlasting memory that we can now forever replay. We ABSOLUTELY ADOREDDDD the teaser, the short wedding film and the feature film. We shared it with our entire families and friends and they are completely in love. The short wedding film is on constant repeat. We could not thank her and recommend her enough for her incredible work and talent.

We used Conner for our wedding on May 3, 2025. We were looking for a DJ and our photographer who had worked with him multiple times had recommended him…. Fast forward we found out he also did videography and we booked him for both- and we are so glad we did! He was so amazing, along with our photographer, they worked together so well and made sure we stayed on schedule and got all the moments captured we wanted. We almost didn’t go with videography but I’m so glad we decided to! He did such an amazing job with both the video and DJ. If we could do the day again, we would 100% have him again! He is so great to work with and so professional, I would recommend him to everyone! Thank you so much Conner for capturing the best day of our lives, the video was even better than we ever imagined. I hope we have the chance to work with you again in the future for another event. THANK YOU!!!!

Hi I’m Anthony! I’ve had a camera in my hands since I was 14 - what started as a teenage curiosity quickly grew into a lifelong passion for storytelling. Over the years, I’ve taught myself everything I know about filmmaking, and after filming my first wedding five years ago, I knew I had found my purpose. There’s something truly special about capturing the emotion, laughter, and small, unspoken moments that make a wedding day unforgettable. It’s an honor every single time I get to help couples preserve that feeling forever

Anthony captured ALL of our favorite moments during our wedding. He was very attentive and even helped guide us during certain moments when taking photos. I have recommended him to many friends and they all love him and his work!!
