  • Serves Dowell, 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.”

Our photography style would be considered true color but cinematic. Our videos have that same true color, cinematic quality but also follow more of a documentary flow, so that it actually feels like you're actually reliving your wedding day every time you watch your videos.

“I am SO glad we decided to have a videographer, and we are so glad it was Gordon!!! Our wedding day went by unbelievably fast, and there are so many little moments that we didn't get to see or fully take in while everything was happening. As a bride, it never clicked for me that I wouldn't be able to see my family walking down the aisle until the day of! Having our wedding video means we get to experience those moments again... our vows, speeches, our families' reactions, all of the little candid moments, and things we didn't even know were happening. Gordon was so easy to work with and was incredibly professional without ever making us feel like we were constantly being filmed, especially as two naturally camera-shy people. He did such an amazing job of capturing everything naturally, and we barely even noticed the cameras were there. The final video was honestly more than we could have hoped for. It feels so personal to us and captured the feeling of the day in a way that photos alone just can't. I already know we're going to be watching it for years and years. If you're on the fence about hiring a videographer, PLEASE do it. Being able to hear and see our wedding day again is something I'm already so grateful we have. And Gordon was absolutely the right person to trust with it!”

He was friendly, professional, punctual and worked so well alongside our photographer for the day, filming all of the lovely moments we may have otherwise missed (dance floor, cocktail hour, etc). He also filmed our first look, which was one of the moments that I most wanted to have on film, and made it such a fun experience. We watch our video every year on our wedding anniversary (it's been almost 13 years!), and we look back so fondly on that day because of the sweet moments that Paul captured - and have also shown it to our kids, who love to watch it over and over again.

I became indulged in the story-telling of my wedding couples. Being surrounded by the excitement, sometimes nervous couples, and their loving families and friends made the filming such a rush. Then to have the honor to edit a film where their personalities and love shine through is the greatest privilege. I want to take them on a journey back in time to the most epic day where they laugh and cry with all their family and friends. I make films that last the ages. I love to think about how my couples might show their kids or even grandkids someday.

“We had such a great experience working with Trevor from Maloch Media! From the start, he offered a wide variety of package options, making it easy to find exactly what we needed. The team is incredibly easy to work with! They are friendly, professional, and genuinely invested in bringing your vision to life. Communication was seamless the entire time. He was ALWAYS quick to respond, organized, and made the whole process feel stress-free. You can tell he truly cares about his clients and the work he and his team produce. We couldn’t be happier with our experience and would highly recommend Maloch Media to anyone looking for high-quality, reliable, and creative services!

“Me and my wife were going mad with all the wedding preparation lol Lots of adds on, different vendors, style, packages, just overwhelming stuff. When I contacted these people, the conversation was cool and matching our vibe. Daria explained that they handle everything simple and fast. We decided to book with them. On the day of our wedding the team was sooo easy to work with! It's like they are here with you but at the same time like ninjas filming each moment from every corner. The 10 hours is a long work day but they never missed a moment. We are super excited, I'll definitely share their contacts with my engaged friend. Thanks guys!”
