My name is Bailey O'Neal -- I am the owner + videographer of Avant-Garde Videography located in the Chicagoland area, 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!

We had the absolute best time working with Homa. Aadhiv and Sagarika were amazing to work with. The day of our wedding they did such an incredible job hyping us up, keeping a huge smile on our faces, and most importantly keeping us calm and relaxed. 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. They really paid attention to exactly what we wanted! We will cherish this video and the memories they helped capture forever. Thanks again Aadhiv and Sagarika!

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.

  • Starts at $2,500
  • Serves Wood Dale, IL
  • Offer

I’m Lanre Esho, a wedding filmmaker passionate about telling love stories that feel real, emotional, and timeless. I believe a wedding film should be more than a recap—it should capture how your day truly felt. I’m drawn to the in-between moments—the quiet glances, genuine laughter, and raw emotions that often go unnoticed. My approach is cinematic and intentional, focused on preserving your story in its most honest form. Every film is crafted so that years from now, it still feels fresh and meaningful, using timeless music and a style that never feels dated.

We chose Lanre Esho Films for our wedding videography and couldn't be happier with our decision. From our first conversation with Lanre, we appreciated how clear and straightforward he was about what to expect and how he'd approach our day. The film he created truly captured the essence of our love story in a way we didn't think was possible. His storytelling is on another level—he managed to weave together all the special moments into something that feels genuine and emotional. When we watched the final video, we both got tears in our eyes. I recommend Lanre Esho Films to any couple looking for a videographer who actually listens and delivers something truly special.

We had to let go of our first photographer, and I’m so thankful we found Eddie! From the start, he was so kind, professional, and easy to work with. He made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera and had great ideas for poses and photo spots. On the wedding day, he captured every single moment beautifully and made sure to check in with us throughout the day.

- 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 came recommended to us from a close friend and we could not brag about Katie & the team enough. From our very first conversation, Katie was an absolute dream to work with and exceeded every expectation we had on the delivery. Since we had a Catholic & Hindu wedding, we had a lot of details to work through and when I tell you I never doubted Katie, I NEVER. DOUBTED. KATIE. The Anchored team truly makes you feel like you're the only couple they're working with and if you stalk their social like I did, you know they're keeping busy over there! I had a very specific vision on how I wanted to remember our wedding days and now I wish I could hire Katie to capture every moment of our lives. From the bottom of our hearts, we're so grateful to have worked with you and know you'll make future couples just as obsessed with your work!

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. You could see how much pride she has in her work and wants only the best video ever and nothing less!

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!

Any talented wedding videographer can create a 5-minute cinematic wedding film of your wedding but there's so much more to a wedding day than that. That is the most distinguishing feature about my work. While, I craft my videos around the love you share, the fun you have when it's just the two of you as well as the celebration with your family/guests is what makes each story so unique. So, as you'll notice in the examples, no two wedding videos are the same. I customize each wedding video I create to fit the couple I'm working with as well as the flow of the day, which will allow you to relive your day the way that it actually happened!
