About Better Half Wedding Video

Better Half Wedding Video

Videographer

Better 1/2 started in 2011 in the San Francisco Bay Area. In 2019, I relocated to Chicago. I've filmed about 30 weddings for couples with a range of venues and guest counts. What's consistent is my style, which is personal and beautiful. I tell each couple's wedding story in a tailor-cut video, highlighting the big moments and spotlighting the small ones.

That's me tucked out of the way, capturing the moment without intruding on it. I'm a nice person with a camera who blends in with the crowd and reemerges from your wedding day with a wealth of beautiful footage that tells your love story. Each video I edit is tailor cut for the couple, with music choices and feedback welcome. I can deliver more story-driven structure or stick to the flashy, poignant highlights, or both! Not a single one of my videos is like the other, because my couples are all different too.

    If you're considering booking Better Half Wedding Video and you don't want a generic "Hallmark" feeling video, do it. My husband and I are so incredibly happy that we booked with Jenn! She was a dream to work with and we both teared up when we she sent us the highlight video. It feels so personal and is such a testament to the roller-coaster of joyful emotions on our day. We explained to her our vision and Jenn really brought it to life. Plus, she was very collaborative in the editing process to make sure that she delivered exactly what we were looking for. We didn't really have to guide on much of anything though, just trusted her artistic vision and are so glad that we did. Thank you so much, Jenn!! -Katrina & Brandan

    I worked with Jenn at a wedding recently and loved everything about it. She’s caring, polite, funny, creative, respectful and joyful. Her final product was SO COOL…. Very original and unlike many of the wedding videos I have seen!!! I cannot wait to work with her again!!!!

    As a wedding photographer, working with videographers often makes my job more difficult. In my experience, most videographers try to create moments by having people do things they would never normally do. They are often an obstacle for photographers to work around. Sometimes multiple videographers are working to get all the angles and they end up creating something of a spectacle of an event when folks are just trying to be natural and enjoy themselves. I had a hard time recommending videographers to my wedding couples... until I met Jenn. Jenn from Better Half Wedding Videography is the exception. She is an incredibly nice person, super respectful of people's time and space. She brings a calming presence to weddings and eases people's nervousness. Jenn is upfront, honest, and discreet. Her work is fun and natural. I am so bummed that she no longer lives in California. When people ask about videographers, I still recommend her. She is the best!

    Working with Jenn was as much of a dream as our wedding. I told Jenn I wanted a docu-style video - something with a beginning, middle and end. She exceeded expectations by using our first dance and allllll the practices we had as the main focal point. We are so happy with our video. Our family is so happy with the video. It perfectly encapsulates the hard work we put into hosting a wedding, but the immense love we felt from our guests and for one another. Affordable, kind, and accommodating, Jenn is the best new wedding videographer here in Chicago. Highly recommend Jenn for your special day. You will not regret it.
