Monday through Friday we shoot food, ads, TV, live events, products videos, documentaries, narrative films, corporate stuff and more. But when the weekend rolls around, we shoot weddings. Our appreciation for directing and videography is rivaled by none. Whether you want something candid and simple or a more elaborately planned wedding video, we'll be there- caffeinated and ready to go! We can now boast that 6 of Chicago’s best videographers are on the Whole Heart Video associate roster. To keep quality high (and to make sure we have back up shooters), we limit the number of weddings accepted to 3 per day.

We had the absolute honor of working with Ben & Nikolai for our recent wedding. We had friends who chose them for their wedding in March of 2025, so when it came time for us to pick someone, Whole Heart Video was at the top of our list. From our first call to wedding day, things were exactly what you hope for when in the chaos of wedding planning: simple, efficient, and you feel understood. Once the wedding day arrived, as someone doing all the planning myself, it felt awesome to not have to micromanage Ben or Niko and to trust them to capture incredible moments in a style that truly reflected us. There was also a moment we had told Ben we wanted captured and he made sure to find us and make sure we got it, that meant the world to us!  I appreciate their approach because they make you feel completely comfortable, especially if you’re not someone who is used to being the center of attention.  Their communication, attitudes, and kindness are standout among the MANY reasons we would recommend them.  We haven’t even received our finished product yet, as we JUST got married last week, but I know it is going to be something we cherish for the rest of our lives and we feel such happiness that Ben & Niko captured our 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.

Awarded Best of Zola
Chelsea was the perfect match for our vision for the wedding! She did a wonderful job capturing the vibrant colors of the day and the intimate moments between us and our friends and family. She put everyone at ease and was not intrusive in private moments. She was also fantastic when it came to turning around our videos in a timely manner and creating the perfect highlight video. We can't recommend her enough for the entire process, from planning to the final product. P.S. her second shooter Phil was great to work with as well.

John Severson graduated from Washington University in St. Louis in 2004 with degrees in Anthropology and Film. His passion for film has taken him all over the world, from Vietnam to Zanzibar. John is a Chicagoland native. After graduating and traveling, he returned back to Chicago’s Lakeview and South Loop neighborhoods. In 2009, he married his wife Sarah, and moved back to their native Oak Park to raise their two children, Stella and George. John is always available to chat with you about your ideas and answer any questions. He’s excited getting to know you as a couple and share your vision for your wedding day.

Everyone gets a photographer but honestly wedding videos capture the night on entirely different level. Having professional videos from my wedding helped capture the moment with all the live emotions, vibes, and reactions. It is definitely a must if you want to remember your big day vividly for years to come! All of my family and wedding party watched the videos Smiling Toad created and we found ourselves crying and laughing all over again. It truly is so special. Smiling Toad was a great vendor for our wedding! John, the owner, is very responsive and great at communicating. On our wedding we had two videographers, Kevin and Sandra, and they were wonderful. They were super professional, detail oriented, and worked perfectly with our photographer and planner’s team. The videos came out SO GOOD and I am seeing so many silly and lovely moments that they caught on video that I had not noticed. I’m so glad we hired Smiling Toad to capture our wedding, we could not recommend them more!

  • Serves Calumet City, IL

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.

This past weekend, our team had the pleasure of working alongside Travis and the Bella Tiamo Films team at Venuti’s Banquet Hall & Italian Restaurant for an incredible 300-guest wedding—and we cannot say enough great things about them. From start to finish, Travis and his team were absolute professionals. They were incredibly dialed in with the event timeline, proactive in communication, and seamless in how they helped manage the flow of the day. Their ability to work calmly and efficiently with the couple, guests, and fellow vendors made the entire event feel effortless and elevated. From a production standpoint, they were locked in—the attention to sound, camera placement, and cinematic detail was next-level. You could immediately tell this was a highly experienced, intentional team that takes immense pride in their craft. What truly blew us away was the 2-minute teaser film they delivered to the couple in under 48 hours. It was polished, emotional, and cinematic—honestly something you’d expect from a high-end movie trailer or commercial. An unreal turnaround paired with unreal quality. Bella Tiamo Films is a talented, reputable, and incredibly easy company to work with, and they elevate every event they’re part of. We would recommend Travis and his team without hesitation and look forward to many more weddings together in the future! — John G.

We’re Viktor and Karolina, the team behind Kosto Production. We believe your wedding film should be more than just a recording - it should be a timeless story filled with emotion and meaning. Since 2016, we’ve filmed over 700 weddings and projects, capturing love stories across the U.S. What drives us is not only our cinematic style but also our passion for preserving real, intimate, and joyful moments. With care, creativity, and dedication, we ensure every film reflects the unique journey of the couple in front of the camera.

Viktor is incredible and captured our vision for our wedding video so perfectly. I asked for something that was documentary style yet cinematic and that is exactly what we got. Getting to see everything in motion and hear our guests and cherished loved ones speak gave us a whole new perspective of the day and made us so so happy to see everything come to life. The video style felt so US and it was obvious how much care was put into making it down to every detail. I’ll cherish our wedding video and clips from the day forever. Viktors talent and artistic eye is second to none! Some of our favorite shots from the day are from the video clips he captured. A videographer is a MUST in addition to an incredible photography team. Viktor was so easy to work with and communicate with leading up to the day and after. We consider hiring him one of the best decisions we made for our wedding, and we wholeheartedly recommend his services to anyone seeking a videographer who is both incredibly talented and dedicated to making your special day unforgettable.

I don’t know where to start!!! Everyone always wishes that they could go back and relive their wedding day… With Lauren’s attention to detail and passion for capturing memories, she makes that wish come true. I still can’t watch our videos without bawling. 100/10 recommend.

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.

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!

Any talented wedding videographer can create a 5-minute cinematic wedding film of your wedding but there's so much more to a wedding day than that. That is the most distinguishing feature about my work. While, I craft my videos around the love you share, the fun you have when it's just the two of you as well as the celebration with your family/guests is what makes each story so unique. So, as you'll notice in the examples, no two wedding videos are the same. I customize each wedding video I create to fit the couple I'm working with as well as the flow of the day, which will allow you to relive your day the way that it actually happened!

Awarded Best of Zola
Visual Reflection Video was one of the best wedding videographers I've ever worked with! Their communication was consistent, prompt and professional throughout the entire planning process. The quality of their work and value was truly amazing - they were so knowledgeable and went above and beyond to make our special day perfect. When our photographer no-showed, the videographer took the initiative to use his own camera to capture some getting ready photos of us, even though it wasn't in our contract. He really took control of the situation and made me not worry about a thing. Visual Reflection Video will exceed your expectations and deliver an incredible final product that you'll treasure forever!

We had an amazing experience working with Katie as our wedding videographer (for an Indian Hindu wedding). From the very first planning call, she was professional, organized, and really listened to our vision for the day. On the event days, she arrived on time, fully prepared, and managed everything smoothly. Katie was attentive to our needs, knowing exactly when we needed a break, which made the whole experience so much more comfortable. She and her team were incredibly friendly and worked seamlessly with both our planner and photographer. Although we’ve only seen the trailer so far, it perfectly captured the energy and emotion of the week. We can't wait to see the rest! Highly recommend Katie and her team for any event!

They were open to all our ideas and inspiration photos throughout the entire process. Their warm and friendly personalities made both sessions so enjoyable, and the turnaround time for our wedding gallery was remarkably fast.
