We used Eivan's for both engagement photos and our wedding and couldn't be happier. They are wonderful about asking for your input and making sure you are truly happy with what you are getting. The photographers and videographers are the perfect mixture of professional and casual/friendly so that you are comfortable. We loved Rachael H for engagement photos, and Heather G (photo) and Dmytro L (video) for our wedding. They also actually care about you and the event itself, starting with asking you about your story. We got both a photographer, videographer, and engagement photos for a great bundle price, which was so helpful. Customer service is also fantastic about answering questions thoroughly and quickly. After booking and after the events, they send you information about what to expect, etc. I did quite a but of research into photography companies, and I would highly highly recommend Eivan's!

Absolutely great experience! We had so fun working with this team. We hired two photographers & a videographer. The photos as you see came out amazing. They had great ideas for posing & shots. Our highlight clip was fantastic. They added something special that we did not expect and it was so sweet and we loved it. (Don’t want to ruin the surprise).

Ellyce Wedding Films

  • Serves Essex, IL

Hey there! I'm Fernando Ávila. I founded Ellyce Wedding Films while my wife and I were planning our wedding in 2019. By this point, I had already accumulated 15+ years of experience shooting wedding videos and my wife felt I could be a breath of fresh air for couples in a highly saturated market. She encouraged me and I founded the company in 2020. Because love inspires, love changes everything, I named my company after my love, Ebony Ellyce Ávila.

Ellyce Wedding Films was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding videography. From the very beginning, Fernando’s communication was clear, concise and professional, putting us at ease throughout the process. The quality of his work was truly amazing - delivered the final video in a timely manner and went above and beyond by providing us with all of the extra raw footage and clips neatly organized. The team at Ellyce Wedding Films contributed so much to making our special day feel even more special. We had a really great experience overall and would highly recommend them to any other couples planning their wedding.

I was getting 2–3k videographer quotes and honestly thought I’d have zero wedding footage… UNTIL I stumbled across this company. Affordable, simple, and truly so special. I now have memories of my parents, grandparents, and friends that I’ll treasure forever. I almost tried to DIY the whole thing, but realistically editing my own wedding footage would’ve taken me until our first anniversary. They made everything fun and effortless. Thank you SO much!

Hi! Courtney here (that's me on the left!). Shutter and Sound is the brainchild of renowned wedding videographer Ryan Geldermann. Ryan began his wedding videography career in 2010 in Los Angeles and quickly became recognized as one of the top videographers in the U.S.. After relocating to DC and still receiving countless inquiries from all corners of the country, Ryan decided to recruit and train a few talented friends so he could continue offering the quality wedding videography he’s known for in SoCal and eventually over 10 cities. Shutter and Sound is a very small group of filmmakers dedicated to turning your big day into a work of art.

Shutter and Sound were a joy to work with. They blended seamlessly with our photography team, even though they hadn't worked together before, and you barely knew they were there.

Getting ready for my wedding was fun but stressful and while we were thinking about how we would record our special it was another stressful thing we needed to add. But we came across Munaco Pictures and it was seriously one of the best experiences we ever had! Not only were they on time and super professional, but the quality of our wedding video was awesome and not to mention that Tom was super cool to chat with. They were very patient with us and even made sure our video came out the way we wanted. I had never had an easier time being recorded. It was so smooth the way they worked around our fiasco at our wedding (yes we had a fiasco) that I almost forgot they were there. I would HIGHLY recommend Munaco pictures to anyone getting married soon. I would even love to have them at any other special event. If you ever get the chance to book with any videographers, these are the people to go to.

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!
