We've been honored to create wedding films for hundreds of incredible couples. Each one of their stories is distinctive and we pride ourselves on creating moving films that artistically convey those love stories. We believe your wedding is not just about one day. It’s about your story leading up to that day and the stories that will come after. 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.

https://vimeo.com/386274683 From the very beginning, booking and coordinating with our wedding videographers was simple and stress-free. They were incredibly prompt on the big day and kept everything moving smoothly without us ever feeling rushed. Their friendly, upbeat attitude made it easy to relax and enjoy every moment.
Because they knew the layout of Stambaugh so well, they anticipated shots and transitions perfectly.
That familiarity with the venue helped everything flow naturally throughout the day. They captured so many meaningful moments, both big and small, that we still cherish.
Our wedding was documented beautifully and authentically.
Even now, six years later, we find ourselves watching the footage on a regular basis. The video instantly brings us back to how that day felt. These guys truly helped us forever capture our wedding, and we can’t recommend them enough.

Wedding Weekender

  • Serves Altona, IL

Wedding Weekender is redefining wedding video with a more authentic, accessible way to capture your celebration. We send camcorders for your friends and family to film candid moments across your wedding weekend — from getting ready to the dance floor and everything in between. Afterward, our editing team shapes that footage into a thoughtful, nostalgic wedding video that feels true to your celebrations. We believe meaningful wedding video should feel personal, accessible, and rooted in real moments.

Where do I start with Wedding Weekender… if you’re looking for a camcorder for your wedding/event and to capture all the silly, raw, fun, beautiful moments, Wedding Weekender IS IT. My maid of honors surprised us with this gift and the WW team was so helpful from the beginning. Our friend knew exactly what to do with the camera, it was small and compact, and people even felt comfortable passing it around to get different POVs. We shipped it back and what we got 2 months later was beyond our wildest dreams. They made it everything we wanted: nostalgic, fun, loving, and such a perfect snapshot of our weekend. I even had 2 small edits after they delivered the video and they had it back to us right away. The team processing and editing these videos truly have a magic touch. This was priceless and we can’t wait to relive our wedding through this video forever and ever. Thank you for being a part of our special day!

My husband and I spent months looking for the perfect videographer for our wedding- since we are both creative people, we wanted someone who values storytelling, has a documentary style that captures the real emotions of the day, and cares deeply about their craft. Talking to Saja felt like finding our creative soulmate, because she goes above and beyond on all of these fronts. She is incredibly detail oriented and has an incredible eye for elements you might not think of as a bride and groom. And to top it all off she’s super down-to-earth and was so fun to work with day-of. I can’t recommend her enough!

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!!
