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.

I had not considered a videographer in our initial wedding planning but changed my mind after seeing Trey's portfolio. Most wedding videos I had seen looked cliched but Trey's videos were lively and unique. Trey spent time getting to know us and took our style into consideration. The whole process was professional and individualized to us and the result was exactly what we hoped for. The wedding day was such a blur that we're so glad to have this curated, beautiful keepsake. We would absolutely recommend!

I looked at SO MANY wedding videos and they were all so similar and cookie cutter. They were lacking something but I couldn’t put my finger on it. THEN I FOUND JIMMY SHIN.

Jimmy will take your wedding video and turn it into the most beautiful story. The video he made for us just so beautifully captured my husband and I's day!

I’ve spent over a decade painting love stories in motion—capturing not just moments, but the emotional truth behind them. My approach is rooted in trust and collaboration. I take the time to truly connect with each couple because I’ve found that the most meaningful films are created when my clients feel seen, heard, and understood. If you’re looking for a cinematic experience that lingers—where shots breathe, and your story is told with intentionality and emotional depth—I’d be honored to explore what we can create together. I don’t just show up with a camera; I show up ready to partner with you in crafting something heartfelt and lasting.

It’s easy to say in the moment how ammmmaaazzziiinnnnggg someone is. The high of the wedding definitely had me singing praises to all the wrong people. I will say that to date, I am still very happy with my wedding video. I got married 4/28/2019 in De Leon Springs, FL. Ehrpraim met with my (then fiancé) and I on Skype a few weeks before. We had nothing for him… what do you mean 'what theme do we have for our wedding?!?!?' We were the kind of bride and groom who had no idea of what we wanted but knew very well what we didn’t want. Ehpriam was awesome. It’s obvious he has been doing weddings forever… he was calm and cool while I’m sure I was seconds away from passing out. He talked us through everything, gave suggestions, listened (that was big). When the wedding day came I felt like I was 100% not prepared. It was Ehpriam and one other person (I think... i mean who can remember such details lol). They were professional and he had a great sense of humor. It was a hot day but they didn't complain. Ephriam smiled the entire time and that was so reassuring. The video process is kind of awkward but I can actually say I enjoyed myself. I really didn’t have to think about anything. He moved us around and gave directions. We didn’t ask questionsbecause… why would we? He knows what he is doing! One of my top moments at the wedding was when his assistant hid in 3 foot grass to hold my smoke bomb. We found out later there may have been garden snakes in there but I try to forget that bit of information. The preview and the video were amazing. If I had to do it again (im not lol) I would still pick EFP. I don’t remember seeing much of the cameras but they got all of the moments I was hopping for. I got top notch service for a fair price. I can’t complain. I know 50 years from now I will still tear up when I see my wedding video! I couldn't have asked for a better videographer.

I love going places with my camera and enjoy capturing the content around me. I love starting a new project, and having an open opportunity to be creative and original. And finally, I love making a product that can be used as a keepsake to help relive and remember special times.

Awarded Best of Zola
Bailey is a true artist! Our wedding video is something we were very nervous about. We even considered not hiring a videographer because we were so worried about feeling uncomfortable on camera! Bailey moved about our wedding day capturing every important moment completely undetected, and I mean that in the best way possible! We didn't even realize in the moment that we were being filmed. She captured the most meaningful, genuine moments of our day and after seeing the final product, we can't even imagine not having this video to cherish for the rest of our lives. At our reception we had an audio guest book that provided us with a bunch of audio from our loved ones. We gave Bailey the huge task of adding some of that audio to our final video. We were completely blown away by how she mixed the audio from our friends and family with the other audio and video from the day! We now have a beautiful highlight reel that we can show to friends and family, we have an edited video of our vows with multiple angles, we have all of the toasts in an edited video, and, one of our favorite things about what Bailey offers with her videography packages, we have all of the raw, unedited footage so we don't forget a single moment of the day. Bailey is caring, flexible, professional, and has an unmatched talent for the art of videography!

I was born and raised in Ukraine where I studied at a law school. When I moved to the USA in 2016, I dramatically switched my career path from a lawyer to a digital artist. I got a degree in Media Arts and Filmmaking and started shooting dance, fashion, music, and became a wedding videographer located in Chicago.

What an experience! You can stop searching now! This is the best wedding film crew. We spent a LOT of time searching thoroughly everything about weddings, planning, and vendors. Then it was time for the videographer and we got some recommendations from our friends. We fell in love with Sofiia’s beautiful style and watched a few of her works. She doesn’t simply film a wedding - she creates a story, she connects dots, and she sings it with her own words. It’s amazing. Help yourself - hire Sofiia as your wedding videographer!

Basketball was my first love and even in my thirties I still daydream about playing in the NBA. As a teenager, while most of my peers were listening to 2Pac and Biggie, I preferred Marvin Gaye, Al Green and The Temptations. I’ve been told that I have an old soul. At the end of the day I love life, I love my job and my customers always come first.

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.

The adventurous duo behind A New Odyssey. Life's most beautiful stories aren’t just in the big moments — they’re in the quiet, unexpected ones that catch you off guard. We live for capturing the raw, unfiltered energy of your love, whether it’s a windswept kiss at sunset or a spontaneous laugh shared when no one’s watching. Every moment, big or small, deserves to be remembered because the people in them are what matter most. For us, being a part of your journey means celebrating each fleeting second as if it were our own.

Working with A New Odyssey — the incredible duo Chantal and Harry — was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From the very beginning, nearly two years before our big day, their professionalism and communication stood out. Every message, question, and detail was handled with care and clarity, and they made us feel supported and confident throughout the entire planning process. When our wedding weekend finally arrived, they didn’t just show up to capture moments — they became a part of the experience. From our rooftop welcome party to the wedding day itself, Chantal and Harry brought such warmth, artistry, and ease. They documented every laugh, every hug, and every little in-between moment that we’ll cherish forever. All of the details I (the bride) carefully planned, they made sure to capture with immaculate detail (some of the details I forgot to tell them about and they still found them and captured them)! Their calm energy made us (and our families) feel completely at ease, even during the most emotional and fast-moving parts of the day. The photos and video they delivered are nothing short of breathtaking. Every frame feels intentional and full of life — the joy, the emotion, the love, all perfectly preserved. Watching our wedding film and scrolling through our gallery truly brought us back to that weekend; it feels like reliving it all over again. Our friends and family were so eager to share their amazing work. We can confidently say A New Odyssey gave us the best weekend of our lives, not only by capturing it so flawlessly but by enhancing it through their presence, professionalism, and passion for what they do. We will forever be grateful to Chantal and Harry for the timeless memories they created. If you’re looking for a photography and videography team that genuinely cares about their couples, goes above and beyond, and delivers art you’ll treasure for a lifetime — look no further than A New Odyssey.

Our approach to wedding filmmaking is simple- deliver the most sincere, organic recollection of the day by acting as unnoticeably as possible. By eliminating the pressures of being filmed, our couples are able to enjoy each moment of their day and be truly present in the experience, providing us with an authentic and emotional collection of frames. Weddings are our passion and we enjoy being able to assist with planning, coordinating and timeline creation throughout the months leading up to your big day. We’re with you every step of the way and are dedicated to creating the best possible version of your love story.

Rhys was great to work with!! He provided so much guidance leading up to the wedding day, going over my timeline and making recommendations based on how long he's seen things take. He also provides a list of suggested do's and dont's that you wouldn't realize have an impact on the video - it was so helpful!! Before the wedding he also has a prep call to go over all the details and any notes/requests we have for the videos (vibe we're looking for, any cinematic requests, song requests, etc.) He was another great presence to have the day of! We haven't gotten the video back yet but right after our wedding we got an email that lists out all the steps they take throughout video production. We've since gotten emails every time our video has moved to the next step. The communication from Rhys since we booked has been so incredible!

I am Angela; owner, lead photographer, and wedding film director. My husband, Zac, is my favorite teammate and covers lead (gimbal) videography, or 2nd shooting (photography). We've been photographing and filming weddings together since 2010! He has a storytelling perspective, while I love details and intimacy. The tension between the two creates such a romantic vibe! When you need a larger team, we pull in our favorite colleagues - professionals in their own right - to work with us for the day. We have very close peer-vendor relationships with a solid group of amazing artists we work with regularly.

We can’t say enough about Angela and her team. Her professionalism, creativity and expertise made the picture taking and video of our wedding very special. It was very clear that they have extensive experience and we found ourselves being very comfortable working with them to capture the moments on our special day. Her follow-up and results truly exceeded our expectations and their fee was very reasonable. I should note that we had a Covid wedding and they managed to all of the concerns and special situations which we appreciated. Angela and her team will always be remembered as being part of our “family” and in sharing in our day. We highly recommend Almost Fantasy. If we could give more than a 5 star rating, we would!

Paul Hairston is an award winning and nation-wide wedding, documentary and commercial filmmaker for over 13 years. He loves anything and everything about human storytelling and creating impact through the medium of film. He strives to capture your special day with earnestness, trust and top shelf visuals. Throughout his career he has worked to blend vérité filmmaking with a production value those stories and emotions deserve, while never getting in your way. Providing painterly and elegant coverage with an unobtrusive but attentive presence that documents every unique detail is Paul’s goal with every film.

We had such an excellent experience with Paul on our wedding day! He was so communicative leading up to the day, as well as the actual wedding day. 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. We highly recommend Paul to also capture your wedding day!

When I'm not shooting weddings, I am doing real estate photography, binge watching Bob's Burgers and Saturday Night Live, or most likely eating something delicious. ;)

Awarded Best of Zola
We couldn't have been happier to hire Emily for our videography. Like many other 2020 couples, we downsized our event to be an intimate ceremony. We last minute decided to hire a videographer, and luckily for us Emily was available! Our day was pretty chaotic with a lot of moving pieces, and she went with the flow with patience and kindness. By the end of the night, we felt like she had been a friend forever. The video is absolute perfection, and we are so thankful she saved the day last minute and gave us an impressive video to share with our family and friends who could not be in attendance. If we could give more than 5 stars on every category, we would!

A husband and wife photo video team based in Illinois, but say the word, and we are out of here! We absolutely love to travel and explore new places! So many of our clients have become our friends because We love getting to know you, and your family and friends and making everyone comfortable in front of the camera while capturing the real essence of you and everyone you love. We have been together for seventeen years, married for six. We truly are best friends who love working together and we think this shows in our work when shooting weddings together!

Ashley & Ryan are my favorite co-workers in this industry. Zero clarity issues, overall vibe is middle of the dance floor until we drop. The quality of video is more than expected when I see co-clients post. Their work in both areas is phenomenal and truly are sweethearts. Great communication with other photographers and the clients we work with. Highly recommend them as a team!
