Toast Weddings

  • Documentary style
  • Starts at $2,500
  • Serves Carthage, IL

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.

Kyrie Copeland Films 

4.4

  • Documentary style
  • Starts at $5,200
  • Serves Carthage, IL

Time capsule films for memory collectors. Our ability to capture and preserve some of our most pivotal life moments really is a gift. Every film is intended to act as a time capsule for my couples to re-live in 25 years.

Kyrie was amazing from start to finish! From our introduction call I knew she was such a great fit for us and would match our energy and sass that we thrive on, on our special day. She’s your best hype girl and absolutely will get your partner out of their shell if one of you is camera shy. My husband hates being in front of a camera and Kyrie got some of the BEST shots and scenes we’ve ever had of him, and we’ve been together almost nine years now. I would see Kyrie again in a heartbeat just to hang out if she’s ever in our neck of the woods of Oregon. Our video is so special and including the pre and post ceremony interviews and family interviews was such an amazing treat we’ll cherish forever.

Wedding Weekender

  • Documentary style
  • Starts at $459
  • Serves Carthage, 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.

Simply OBSESSED. I worked with the Wedding Weekender for my bachelorette and wedding and both times was SO happy with the result. The team is prompt and communicative, answering our questions before and quick to provide our footage afterward. It was such a bonus to get all the raw footage in addition to the final video - my husband and I watched clips every night on our honeymoon, the best way to reminisce!! I loved having content that was from the POV of my guests, it makes you feel like you’re right back in the middle of things. Lastly, this was such a cost effective solution when you already have so many other things to worry about. Video was the first thing we cut from our budget, but with this we were able to have it all. I couldn’t recommend them more!!!

We cannot say enough wonderful things about Nakayoshi Studios and their incredible work! From the moment we met them, their kindness and professionalism put us at ease. They have a remarkable eye for creativity and an elegant style that beautifully captures every meaningful moment. Their attention to detail and ability to stay on top of the latest trends made our daughter’s wedding film feel both timeless and modern. The way they filmed the wedding was nothing short of breathtaking. From the unique angles to the small, intimate moments they preserved, every frame told the story of our day in the most heartfelt way. The memories they captured—the joyful tears, the laughter, the stolen glances—are absolutely priceless. Watching the wedding film feels like reliving the magic all over again. Because we were so impressed with their work, we didn’t hesitate to hire them again for our son’s surprise engagement. Once again, they exceeded our expectations, delivering photographs that perfectly encapsulated the love and excitement of the moment. Their talent, professionalism, and genuine passion for their craft shine through in everything they do. If you’re looking for a videographer who is not only skilled but also a joy to work with, Nakayoshi Studios is the one. We are forever grateful for the beautiful memories they have given us! Just waiting to hire them for our next daughter’s wedding!

I found Saja through a tagged video of my wedding venue (The Glen Manor House) midway through planning, and was immediately sold! Her artistry, talent and the opulence mirrored my vision so much that I ended up firing my previously booked videographer! So if you’re reading this, and you already booked a videographer; you may need to reconsider because every bride needs a Saja on her wedding day! She is personable, professional and extremely considerate! The produced work is phenomenal and is a keepsake that will transcend family generations!! You regret hiring Mawaddah Productions for your big day!

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!!

You can just feel that they not only know what they are doing but they work so well together, laughing and joking and made us feel so at ease. I hate being on camera or public speaking in general, but instantly forgot we were filming.
