My name is Bailey O'Neal -- I am the owner + videographer of Avant-Garde Videography and I love making videos! 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 can not recommend this husband and wife duo enough. We could not have asked for a better edit on our wedding video, it the perfect mix of emotion and fun! We had check in calls with them leading up to the wedding getting all the details we wanted ironed out. They were more than happy to answer any and all questions we had.

I love coffee. I never leave home without it. I’m easy going. I love to chill. I’m a huge sports fan and I love watching Skip Bayless and others argue on Fox. 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 love running, dogs, donuts, yoga pants, Parks + Rec, Sherlock Holmes and a ton of other random stuff. - I am originally from San Diego, CA so adjusting to Chicago winters has been ROUGH. - My husband and I love to travel and find new adventures together, but also really enjoy a night in having absolutely no plans. I personally have always been in love with stories. Reading them, listening to them and finally telling them. There is something so incredible about how good stories can draw out deep emotion. THAT is what I love.

Anchored films is hands down the best of the best in wedding videography. Katie and her team go above and beyond from start to finish, making the entire process easy and seamless for you (something we all need when it comes to wedding planning). Katie is truly an amazing person, with a great heart to serve others and make them feel comfortable when the nerves are at their peak on your wedding day. From her fun energy and enthusiasm, to her immense attention to detail, and overall professionalism in which she approaches her job, she will ensure that you ultimately receive exactly what you’re looking for in wedding video 10/10 times. She strives to give you a product that truly reflects you and your spouse. She told our story and our day far better than we could have ever imagined (Ephesians 3:20) and we are beyond grateful we chose her. She is so dedicated and committed to serving her clients and making sure they are thrilled and overjoyed with their wedding film. I promise you will get endless compliments from family and friends (if that matters to you) once they see the level of professionalism, care, and love that pours out of an Anchored Films wedding video. You will have this for the rest of your life and be able to continually reflect and celebrate the commitment and covenant you made to each other. Don't you want to be proud of the story that your wedding film will tell? I know we did. I wouldn’t recommend anyone else, genuinely. Thanks for everything Anchored Films :)

  • Storytelling style

  • Serves Sugar Grove, IL

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!

Amy was even there for the wedding rehearsal! She was so much fun to be around and worked out all the details with the photographer & both together can capture the priceless moments. We can not wait to see the final production. She and her assistant were so professional. She kept us up to date on the shooting events and schedule and even asked if we wanted other things included that came up. That is why she can be counted on.

I'm a wedding filmmaker based out of Chicago, IL and I love my job. It’s been nearly 4 years since I was asked to film my first wedding. Capturing the emotion, the details, and love portrayed from each couple’s special day has been unimaginably rewarding. I am thankful to everyone who has placed their trust in me to capture one of the most important days in their lives. When I’m not working I’m most likely trying to improve my latte art on my Breville Barista Express espresso machine or most importantly spending time with my beautiful wife and daughter. My goal is to create a family heirloom which can be passed down for generations to come.

Luis was incredible to work with. He is truly an artist. His work exceeded anything that we could have ever imagined. We knew that we could rely on Luis to deliver but OMG, the first time that we watched our wedding film our jaws dropped to the floor! It felt like we were watching a Hollywood movie! His storytelling and attention to detail are absolutely breathtaking! We truly can’t thank you enough Luis! To anyone considering hiring a wedding videographer, look no further and hire Luis. He’s the best!

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
We are so thrilled to be writing this review because we simply cannot speak highly enough of Trey and TreeHouse. We have never worked with video for another event before, so we weren’t sure quote what to look for, but came across Trey’s videos and could immediately tell they were something special. We’re both musicians and also appreciated how well the edits synced with the music as well. We were hoping that our wedding video would have a documentary feel — capturing the beautiful natural location in New York’s Catskill mountains and the feeling of our group of people coming together to celebrate us. It was a laid back wedding and a really amazing group of loved ones and we wanted to see and hear things that wouldn’t be captured in photos and we wouldn’t be able to take in at the time. Trey helped craft a specific package to meet our request and speaking to him it was clear he understood what we were hoping for and built on that vision with his perspective. Wow! Trey delivered!! He brought in a second shooter, Brent, who was so helpful in capturing the day. Not only were they truly amazing people to be around (all of our friends and family were so comfortable and at ease with them), they were exceptionally professional and skilled. They kept us calm and collected in the midst of details and a tight wedding day schedule. Watching the videos was an emotional experience because Trey managed to capture the feeling of the wedding celebration perfectly and get candid and intimate interviews with our friends and family that touched us (and were new to us) months after the wedding. It was clear just how carefully Trey had listened to us in our meetings leading up to the wedding — he heard us and did an amazing job bringing our dreams to life. I really wish I had videos like this capturing other important times in my life. If you are considering whether to get a videographer for your special event or wedding, you absolutely should. If you are considering Treehouse Creative, I cannot recommend it highly enough as people and as professionals! Seriously!

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 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 Honeymooners made our wedding day so much fun. The duo was the perfect addition to our perfect day. They not only got the best footage of our day, but had us laughing and enjoying ourselves all day long. They had our teaser done within a few weeks and the whole video done shortly after that. Each video was made specifically for us and were absolutely perfect. Watching the videos is like reliving our day over and over again! The drone footage was SO worth is and turned out amazing. It highlighted our venue, our guests, and all of our details. Everyone should use them!!

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.

Paul and his assistant were absolutely amazing. I actually found him when googling videographers in my area and LOVED all his work as I could tell he took true pride in his films and caught all the little details of the weddings he videoed. When setting up a meeting, I realized he actually lived 4 hours away from me... BUT that didn't stop him! He was willing to travel with his assistant for a VERY cheap price and was there the whole time. He actually asked ME if he could come earlier to ensure he got all the little details on camera and capture every minute of us getting ready, etc. He was quick to respond throughout the whole planning process prior to the big day as well. Paul was in school for cinematography at the time which is very evident in his work as you can tell that film is his true passion in life through his work. We had no idea he was even there and he stayed until the very end (little did I know) to ensure he captured everything on film. As most brides (and grooms) do, we put a LOT of planning into our big days and a lot of thought into every single little detail. Of course your own wedding day is such a blur you never even get to appreciate all your hard work... but thanks to Paul, I am able to see every little part of the wedding from the place settings to all the little signs we had everywhere. He did an amazing job capturing every moment and I love my highlight film. Thanks to him, I get to witness and relive what was my dream wedding over and over again... I knew I wanted to hire him when his highlight films of complete strangers brought me to tears! He is now videoing my brother's wedding and a family friends... So Yes.... I HIGHLY recommend him :)"
