“It was an amazing experience working with the three amazing people we were assigned for our wedding. We booked a photographer, videographer, and DJ through this company and I don’t think I could have asked for much more than what they did for us! Finding vendors for these three jobs was very important to me as a bride because I wanted to make sure it was going to be a stress free and memorable day. I wanted to make sure everything was captured and that friends and family would have the best time possible celebrating with us. To start with our photographer Sean, he is such an amazing individual and was such a light hearted and fun energy to have. He got along with everybody and was so patient with our youngest and oldest family members. The photos we received were amazing and captured so many great moments without feeling posed. Our videographer Jason captured such great moments for us and cracked so many jokes throughout the day. Our video is absolutely amazing and was pretty close to what I had imagined before receiving it. When your videographer willingly whips out a kart wheel to show off to a group of dancers, you know he’s passionate about his job. Lastly our DJ John was the perfect DJ for our party! He was so attentive and absolutely hilarious. An amazing MC and worked with me to create several surprises throughout the night. As a dancer and perfectionist, I could not have asked for someone to have read the room any better! I never had to ask for songs to be skipped and my guests felt so comfortable to approach him with requests. I don’t know if we could ever put into words how well they worked together. Everyone that we dealt with through this company made our experience so easy to manage.”

On the day of, Kylie checked in with me and my husband multiple times to see if we needed anything and to check if things were going as planned. The reception space (Wisconsin ballroom) we rented was so beautiful as well and the food was AMAZING! We had the perfect day and would recommend the Concourse to anyone looking to have their wedding in the Madison area.”

JLP Films 
Rating: 5.0 (3 reviews)
Madison, WI
  • Videographer
  • Storytelling style
  • Starts at $2,500

Jacob Phillips founded JLP Films, an award winning wedding videography company in 2018. He’s had the privilege to work with couples all over Wisconsin & Minnesota to bring their love stories to life. At JLP Films, our goal is to offer the best experience possible for each of our couples. We are dedicated to answer your questions, provide guidance and support, and to ensure that you feel relaxed and at ease throughout the process. We prioritize the enjoyment of not only you, but also all the vendors involved to help make your day unforgettable.

“If you’re reading reviews trying to decide whether to hire Jacob with JLP Films LLC, let me save you the time: book him!!! Out of every decision we made while planning our wedding, choosing Jacob as our videographer was one of the very best. From our very first meeting, we knew he was the best of the best. Jacob is one of the most detail-oriented, organized, and thoughtful people we’ve ever worked with. During wedding planning, there were moments where Rob and I felt overwhelmed or like we didn’t have everything figured out, but Jacob always did. He had a vision from the beginning, asked questions we never would have thought of, and made us feel completely confident that every meaningful moment would be captured. Our wedding was spread over three days, and Jacob was there through it all. Not because he had to be, but because he genuinely cared about telling our story the right way. By the end of the weekend, our family and friends weren’t just talking about how talented he was, they were talking about what an incredible person he is. He has such a calming, genuine presence that everyone naturally gravitated toward, and somehow he managed to capture the most beautiful moments without ever making it feel like a camera was there. My husband and I aren’t people who are naturally comfortable in front of a camera, but Jacob made us feel like ourselves. He knew exactly when to step in with direction and when to quietly let moments unfold. I trusted him completely!  Then came the video. I honestly don’t think either of us were prepared for what we watched. It wasn’t just a wedding film - it was our story. Somehow, Jacob captured the emotions, the little moments we missed, the laughter, the tears, and the feeling of the entire week in a way we didn’t think was possible. Watching it felt like we were living our wedding all over again, and we both cried from beginning to end. It’s something we’ll treasure for the rest of our lives, and I know we’ll be watching it for years to come with our kids one day. And somehow, he delivered it so quickly that we were genuinely shocked. The turnaround time was incredible, especially for something crafted with so much care and attention to detail. People always say your wedding day goes by in a blur. They’re right. But because of Jacob, we get to relive the best weekend of our lives whenever we want. If there’s one thing I’ve learned after planning a wedding, it’s that it will fly by, but your wedding film lasts forever. Invest in the person who’s responsible for preserving those videos (memories). Jacob wasn’t just the best videographer we could have hired, he genuinely was the best vendor we worked with!!  Thank you, Jacob, for giving us something that we’ll cherish for the rest of our lives!!!!”

“I first went to the State Line for the incredible Halloween event a couple of years ago, and have been coming back ever since! When my partner and I decided to hold our wedding reception at the State Line Distillery, Shelby was incredible. She made sure I was able to see the space and visualize the layout for our guests, she helped decide on a caterer who knew the space well, and she even let me use some of the wedding items that the State Line offers for events. We rented out the back room, the bartenders were *amazing* all evening, and Shelby made sure the space looked phenomenal and flowed well from the indoor space to the outdoor back patio. Most memorable of all, when it turned out our caterer was expecting us to pick up the food instead of delivering it, Shelby WENT AND PICKED UP OUR FOOD HERSELF, just to make sure the night went off without a hitch. She really went above and beyond for us, and I’ve heard so many people who have said the same about her help at their events — from book launches to college graduations to birthdays. Shelby is an incredible resource and phenomenal event planner, and she is the absolute star of an already great space with amazing drinks. Thanks, Shelby (and thanks, too, to the amazing bartenders for keeping up with our demand all night with your kickass drink menu, too)!!”

Lucca made the whole process easy and fun, we have said many times she was one of the best parts of our day. We received our photos much earlier than anticipated and have loved the results. She captured many great moments between the two of us, as well as many beautiful candids of our guests throughout the night. If you can book Lucca, please do! We are excited to have these photos to look at for years to come!”
