We’re so grateful we chose Press Record Co for our wedding video! My husband and I had an intimate wedding where we didn't feel the need to spend thousands on a videographer as well as our photographer. We rented a camcorder from Press Record Co & created us a dreamy, beautiful video from the footage. The final result was heartfelt, high-quality, and captured the spirit of our day so perfectly—it truly brought tears to our eyes. It had a bit of each of our family members which meant so much to us. The whole team was kind, responsive, and clearly passionate about what they do. Thank you for helping us preserve such a special memory.

Time capsule films for memory collectors. Our ability to capture and preserve some of our most pivotal life moments really is a gift. Every film is intended to act as a time capsule for my couples to re-live in 25 years.

Kyrie is hands down the best vendor to work with in the entire wedding industry. If you're considering having a wedding video, check out her work and you will be beyond convinced that it is the most worthwhile investment of all time. Kyrie is insanely easy to work with and made our wedding day feel so seamless and special. Her communication is spotless, consistent, and effective. Additionally, we were *floored* that a mere week after our wedding we received a minute long preview video that was more perfect than we could have imagined. After a year of working with her, she felt like not only our videographer, but also our friend and forever hype-woman. We will never be able to recommend her enough!

I’m Victor, a Chicago wedding photographer and filmmaker who understands how quickly the day moves. Having experienced weddings both behind the camera and as a groom, I guide couples with a calm, intentional approach so they can stay present and fully experience their day while their story is preserved authentically. I serve couples across Illinois, Wisconsin, Indiana, and destinations worldwide.

We had a wonderful destination wedding, and choosing Visil Photography turned out to be one of our best decisions. From the start, Victor helped us plan the timeline, ensuring the day felt smooth and unhurried. That really made a big difference. On the wedding day, it was never overwhelming or like a photo & video shoot, which was a huge relief for us. He guided us gently when needed but mostly kept things relaxed so we could just enjoy each other and soak in the moment. The videos and photos turned out absolutely stunning, and what surprised us the most was getting some lovely teasers just days after the wedding. Rewatching these amazing shots now feels like reliving the entire day exactly as it happened. I strongly recommend.

Let’s connect and turn your honest moments into a timeless, personal film you’ll cherish forever.

Awarded Best of Zola
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!

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!!!

Hiring Jacob is a NO BRAINER! I cannot say enough great things about or experience! From the moment we hired him, and the whole process of receiving our video and raw footage afterwards... was smooth, easy, and we are eternally grateful! To this day, we always tell everyone how important it is to hire a videographer... the emotion is very different from photos. Live footage just helps you piece back together and process your perfect day! I had asked for a few different things, like having music playing through the whole video and snippets of both of our vows and Jacob way overdelivered and exceeded my expectations! Check out his Vimeo videos- they are unreal and will give you all the feels! Do not hesitate in hiring him. The video he creates will bring back all the best moments of your wedding day!

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.

A fun, candid alternative to traditional wedding videography. Your favorite people capture the laughs, happy tears, behind-the-scenes moments, and dance floor chaos on easy-to-use camcorders, and we turn it all into the wedding home movie you’ll watch for years to come. Add a nostalgic touch with our 35mm camera rentals — perfect for candid guest photos, behind-the-scenes moments, and flash-filled memories that feel straight out of a family photo album.

We didn't hire a traditional videographer, so ordering cameras from YouFilm Weddings for our guests to use was the perfect solution. The team was so friendly and easy to work with from start to finish, answering all our questions and making the whole process simple. The cameras were straightforward to use, and our guests loved being part of capturing the day.
