Anchored Films 
Rating: 5.0 (3 reviews)
West Chicago, IL
  • Videographer
  • Storytelling style
  • Starts at $3,850

- 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 :)

I can’t say enough wonderful things about the glam team that made me, my bridesmaids, and my mom feel absolutely gorgeous on my wedding day. Selena has been with me through it all—my engagement shoot, courthouse wedding, trial, and finally the big day. She is truly phenomenal at what she does. Selena has such a great eye for what looks good, while also listening to suggestions and making sure her clients feel comfortable and confident. She doesn’t just “do makeup”—she creates a look that enhances natural beauty, lasts all day, and makes you feel your absolute best. Every time she worked with me, I felt like the most beautiful version of myself. Jeanette is a true hair artist. Her skills are top tier—she has the hands and vision to bring any hairstyle to life and somehow make it even better than the inspiration photo. She did my hair for the trial, and when I wasn’t sure if it was exactly what I wanted, she was so quick to suggest adjustments and work with me until I felt 100% confident. On my wedding day, my hair was everything I dreamed of and more—elegant, secure, and perfect from start to finish. Katie is so sweet. She actually did my wedding hair for my courthouse ceremony, and on the big day she took care of my bridesmaids’ hair and makeup as well as my mom’s. She made sure each one of them looked stunning while still feeling like themselves. The girls couldn’t stop talking about how much they loved their looks and how comfortable Katie made them feel during the process. And a special thank you to Colette, who handled all of the scheduling. She was so accommodating with my needs and always willing to adjust things when plans shifted. Having someone so organized and flexible made the whole process stress-free, which is invaluable when planning a wedding. This team went above and beyond to make us look and feel beautiful. Their professionalism, kindness, and talent made such a difference on my wedding day, and I am so grateful for each of them.

I chose ICC for my bridal shower venue because the venue is absolutely gorgeous! I loved the large venue spaces, beautiful landscapes through the windows, and overall airy feel! We ended up picking the Lyons room because it was spacious but not overwhelming. The natural lighting was gorgeous. Everything from the initial tour to the final product was gorgeous. All the staff members were incredibly kind and helpful throughout the process. Even when we came to set up the morning of, some wonderful team members were already helping to put favors on the table exactly where we wanted them (it’s like they read our minds!)

Specializing in both photography and cinematic films, we preserve your day frame by frame, blending artistry with storytelling. From the smallest details to the grandest celebrations, our goal is to create timeless images and films that let you relive the magic for a lifetime.

From the bottom of my heart, I will always be grateful for the way they captured our day. Our wedding was small, just close family and friends, but they made it look like the most magical celebration ever. I didn’t even notice half of the little details until I saw the pictures later, like how my husband looked at me during the vows or how my best friend wiped away a tear. The editing was done with so much care it feels timeless, not trendy. The video is something I’ll keep forever, and I can’t wait to show it to our kids one day. They were punctual, kind, and really felt like part of the family that day. What I loved is that they didn’t rush us, they worked around the flow of the day while still capturing everything important. I’ve never felt so beautiful and natural in front of a camera before. They gave us memories that will last long after the flowers and cake are gone.

I love working with all of the gorgeous venues we have here in the suburbs of Chicago and can't wait to get started planning your dream wedding.

Awarded Best of Zola
Hiring BreAnn to be our day of coordinator was hands down one of the best decisions I could have made. We got married this past June and our day went perfectly, so smooth, no hiccups and this is all because of Bre. Anytime I recommend Bre to a future bride, one thing I always say is that when you consider how much money is going into a wedding - you should also make an investment in making sure your day runs smoothly. Bre met with me a year prior to my wedding, helped create a spreadsheet to keep track of all vendors, gave amazing recommendations on vendors, did a walk through of the venue with me, created timelines, helped with o ur rehearsal & so much more. All of that was done BEFORE the wedding day was even here. Bre goes above and beyond to coordinate all your vendors and puts so much effort in making sure your vision comes to life. The day of my wedding I, nor anyone in the bridal party was bothered with vendor questions which really allowed everyone to just be able to relax. When arriving to our venue Bre had helped set up the decor and everything was stunning. Because I live close by her she even came and picked up my welcome sign prior to the wedding day along with the marriage certificate so I truly had nothing to worry about the day of the wedding. Bre helped everyone stay on track with timing, helped everyone throughout the ceremony know where to stand, when to start walking, etc - which is so helpful when you’re trying to get a bunch of people in a bridal party to listen. Once the wedding was over Bre packed up all of our decor making sure everything was extremely organized and she even took home my flower bouquet since I was having it preserved and helped coordinate that to ensure the bouquet would be safe at the end of the night. If you are on the fence about hiring a coordinator - just do it. You truly will not regret hiring Bre, she was the best vendor/decisions I could have made for our wedding!

Svat is a professional and an artist! We had a few hours set aside for photos before the ceremony and I honestly feel like we could have just taken pictures with Svat all day. He gives enough direction without it feeling like he's just shouting at you; the photos we've received so far are edited SO beautifully; and he worked with us to curate a mix of posed and candid shots to perfectly capture our big day! I feel like we got so lucky booking Svat and would definitely work with him again, given the opportunity!

We couldn't be happier with our decision to hire Wedding Studio Pro for our wedding! From start to finish, they exceeded all of our expectations and beautifully captured every magical moment on our wedding day. From our first Zoom call, their professionalism stood out immediately, as well as clear and prompt communication. They made us feel completely at ease during our pre-wedding consultations. They took the time to understand our vision and even suggested creative ideas that enhanced the overall experience. On the day of the wedding, their calm and friendly demeanor put everyone at ease, even my camera-shy husband! They managed to be everywhere at once, capturing candid moments, heartfelt emotions, and all the little details we worked so hard to plan. The final photos are nothing short of breathtaking. The composition, lighting, and attention to detail make each shot feel like a work of art. Looking through the gallery felt like reliving our wedding day all over again. We’re especially thrilled with the way they caught the joy and love shared by our family and friends—it’s clear they have a true gift for storytelling through photography. If you're looking for photographers who are talented, professional, and an absolute joy to work with, Heather and Eddie at Wedding Studio Pro are the ones! We will treasure these memories forever and cannot recommend them enough.

Sarah is amazing to work with. We had a large backyard, outdoor wedding .. the day ended up being the rainiest day in June but Sarah executed the day perfectly. From the very beginning, She was so easy to communicate with, very helpful and always thought of things that I would never even thought about. If you are looking for someone to ease your mind, I recommend hiring Sarah for your big day, you won't regret it! Thank You Sarah!!!
