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!

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
It’s very important that the photographers and videographers not only get along with, but work well together. Making sure you’re not in each others shots and staying creative through the day. We had a great time working alongside Lawrence and his second videographer. I highly recommend them for your big day!

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.

- 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!

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’ve spent over a decade painting love stories in motion—capturing not just moments, but the emotional truth behind them. My approach is rooted in trust and collaboration. 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.

I was one of those brides who thought of not hiring a videographer due to budget and well didn't think it was that important; but after much consideration and recommendations from our coordinator we hired Ephraim and I must say the video is one of our favorite things from the wedding. Yes photos capture some moments but most of those are staged so the video is really what allows you to relive the day over and over again. Ephraim was great! He was professional and worked great with the photographer and coordinator and the best part to me was his camera set up was so minimal that It did not get in the way of photos or looked tacky during the wedding. You will not regret it !

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!

John is a Chicagoland native. After graduating and traveling, he returned back to Chicago’s Lakeview and South Loop neighborhoods. In 2009, he married his wife Sarah, and moved back to their native Oak Park to raise their two children, Stella and George. John is always available to chat with you about your ideas and answer any questions. He’s excited getting to know you as a couple and share your vision for your wedding day.

Everyone gets a photographer but honestly wedding videos capture the night on entirely different level. Having professional videos from my wedding helped capture the moment with all the live emotions, vibes, and reactions. It is definitely a must if you want to remember your big day vividly for years to come! All of my family and wedding party watched the videos Smiling Toad created and we found ourselves crying and laughing all over again. It truly is so special. Smiling Toad was a great vendor for our wedding! John, the owner, is very responsive and great at communicating. On our wedding we had two videographers, Kevin and Sandra, and they were wonderful. They were super professional, detail oriented, and worked perfectly with our photographer and planner’s team. The videos came out SO GOOD and I am seeing so many silly and lovely moments that they caught on video that I had not noticed. I’m so glad we hired Smiling Toad to capture our wedding, we could not recommend them more!

I really don't even know where to start!! From start to finish, Jazmin was so amazing, sweet and kind! My wedding video is SOOOO FREAKING BEAUTIFUL and makes me and my husband cry every time! Best decision EVER! Every single important moment of my wedding day was captured, even moments I didn't even realize were being filmed or moments I didn't think I needed! She never missed a beat and was so professional and amazing! The time, effort, and passion she puts into her work is something most people dream of, but me, my husband, and our families witnessed it firsthand, and it's so beautiful and comforting (especially on a stressful day like a wedding)! My guests LOVED her because she was so considerate of them as well, making sure she wasn't blocking their view if she could help it, and just being kind and interacting with them throughout the entire day! Months before my wedding, she was prompt, professional, communicative, and laid out everything as far as what we should expect before, during, and after our wedding. I am so so glad we went with Jazmin and Jayzie Kaye Wedding Films!! I don't plan on getting married again lol, but working with her is an experience I would repeat if I could! Thank you so much Jazmin for being the most beautiful human being (inside and out) that I have ever met! You are a true gift!

My husband and I got married last May and it was a dream day. The Honeymooners only added to the magic of it! Luke and Maddie were made for this job because they value their relationship with you and it shows through the care and joy they bring to your day. We felt so comfortable with them around us and our bridal party and they helped create an atmosphere of joy and fun! Not only are they wonderful to have around on the day of but our video turned out AMAZING! They captured the atmosphere of our wedding perfectly and is a video we will always treasure! We are so thankful we chose them for our footage!
