I have always had a camera. Yes, I was that one kid in HS. Drove my mother's freckles up the wall. But HEY, here I am doing what I absolutely love. My heart, is that you should not have to take out a loan to pay for your wedding, you can if you want, you should not HAVE to. This is where I come in, I work with my bride's unique budget and curate packages unique to their needs. It's an absolute joy!

Courtney has worked for us on several occasions. She has been phenomenal. Her time management skills are excellent. Her professionalism and work ethic are incomparable. I was impressed by her performance and efficiency. She also showed up early and stayed later than expected. She went above and beyond.

Wedding Weekender

  • Serves Cottage Hills, 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!!!

Mitchell Gaston Films

  • Serves Cottage Hills, 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.

As a wedding venue owners of The Wilds Wedding Venue in Bloomington, Indiana (www.thewildsvenue.com), we have had the unique opportunity to work alongside several amazing wedding industry vendors. In doing so, we’ve grown to greatly appreciate Mitchell Gaston Films. Their team is not only incredibly talented, but are also experienced, true professionals. If you're looking for an amazing videography experience and film, look no further!

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!!!!

Anthony was easy to work with at the wedding. I was a DJ at the wedding I worked with him and from an artistic standpoint, what I saw of his work so far was great. Just like the rest of the vendors at this wedding, he went with the flow and went above and beyond to give the couple the best experience they could get especially under the crazy weather circumstances we had! Rain almost all day, thunderstorms, a tornado warning (it was an outdoor tent wedding) and some high winds that almost took out the tent! Despite that, he remained positive and fun. His needs from me were minimal (tapping into my sound system) and he made sure I wasn't busy when he asked me about it. If the rest of his work is as good as the little I've seen so far, you can't go wrong with his video service!

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!!
