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.

We were thrilled with the services provided by Reel Love Video for our wedding day. From the very beginning, Ash was warm, responsive, and professional in her communication. She worked with us to customize a videography package that fit our needs and budget perfectly. On the wedding day, Ash was discreet and unobtrusive, yet she was able to capture beautiful, artistic footage that truly reflected the spirit of our ceremony. We were so pleased by the quality of the final video, which included special moments and details that we had missed in the excitement of the day. Ash's quick turnaround time allowed us to relive our wedding day soon after, and we know we will treasure this video for years to come. We highly recommend Reel Love Video to any couple looking to have their special day preserved on film!

We were gifted a videographer last minute before our wedding and I am forever grateful we were able to work with Akachi Media! Kyla worked alongside our photographer to capture our day in the most beautiful video. We felt she was reasonably priced and I would suggest adding on the documentary film so you get even more video. She was professional and made the experience so fun! I would highly recommend Akachi media for your wedding!

Wedding Weekender

  • Serves Serena, IL

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.

Where do I start with Wedding Weekender… if you’re looking for a camcorder for your wedding/event and to capture all the silly, raw, fun, beautiful moments, Wedding Weekender IS IT. My maid of honors surprised us with this gift and the WW team was so helpful from the beginning. Our friend knew exactly what to do with the camera, it was small and compact, and people even felt comfortable passing it around to get different POVs. We shipped it back and what we got 2 months later was beyond our wildest dreams. They made it everything we wanted: nostalgic, fun, loving, and such a perfect snapshot of our weekend. I even had 2 small edits after they delivered the video and they had it back to us right away. The team processing and editing these videos truly have a magic touch. This was priceless and we can’t wait to relive our wedding through this video forever and ever. Thank you for being a part of our special day!

We used Conner for our wedding on May 3, 2025. We were looking for a DJ and our photographer who had worked with him multiple times had recommended him…. Fast forward we found out he also did videography and we booked him for both- and we are so glad we did! He was so amazing, along with our photographer, they worked together so well and made sure we stayed on schedule and got all the moments captured we wanted. We almost didn’t go with videography but I’m so glad we decided to! He did such an amazing job with both the video and DJ. If we could do the day again, we would 100% have him again! He is so great to work with and so professional, I would recommend him to everyone! Thank you so much Conner for capturing the best day of our lives, the video was even better than we ever imagined. I hope we have the chance to work with you again in the future for another event. THANK YOU!!!!

Hi I’m Anthony! I’ve had a camera in my hands since I was 14 - what started as a teenage curiosity quickly grew into a lifelong passion for storytelling. Over the years, I’ve taught myself everything I know about filmmaking, and after filming my first wedding five years ago, I knew I had found my purpose. There’s something truly special about capturing the emotion, laughter, and small, unspoken moments that make a wedding day unforgettable. It’s an honor every single time I get to help couples preserve that feeling forever

Anthony captured ALL of our favorite moments during our wedding. He was very attentive and even helped guide us during certain moments when taking photos. I have recommended him to many friends and they all love him and his work!!

From the start, I take time to understand your story and vision so your film reflects who you are as a couple. On the wedding day, my approach is calm and intentional — I blend into the background while staying tuned into the details that matter. I use cinematic techniques and thoughtful editing to transform your day into a timeless story you’ll want to relive over and over. ​At the heart of my work is passion: passion for storytelling, for creating art from real moments, and for giving you something that feels as alive as the day itself. My goal is not just to document your wedding but to create a film that moves you every time you watch it

Working with Grace Kristine was an absolute joy from start to finish. She radiates warmth, love, and positivity in everything she does, and it truly shines through in her work. Grace has such a beautiful, artful eye — she captures the sweetest, most genuine moments in a way that feels effortless and authentic. Her communication was clear and consistent throughout the entire process, and she delivered everything exactly as promised — on time, with every detail thoughtfully executed. The final video exceeded all my expectations; it perfectly reflected the emotion and beauty of the day. Grace’s cheerful demeanor makes everyone around her feel comfortable and at ease, which allows her to capture those natural, heartfelt moments that make her work so special. I couldn’t recommend her more highly — she’s not only incredibly talented, but also one of the kindest, most genuine people you could hope to work with. I highly recommend Grace!

Working with Pat and Sam has been super fun and stress free. You can just feel that they not only know what they are doing but they work so well together, laughing and joking and made us feel so at ease. I hate being on camera or public speaking in general, but instantly forgot we were filming.
