Better Half Wedding Video 

5.0

  • Documentary style
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Arlington Heights, IL

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.

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!

We’re Hungry Heart Films, a husband and wife wedding team in Chicago. We believe the best wedding films are unexpected and sincere, the kind of film that can transport you back to the feeling of that awesome day every time you watch it! Your vibe as a couple is unique and your wedding film should be too! We capture your day as it naturally unfolds, whether you're on the quiet side or throwing a rager to remember.

We're so happy we booked Brian and Rebecca of Hungry Heart!! They were both so open, honest, and answered all of questions before we even had a chance to ask them. We both don't love being in front of a camera and were worried about having both a photographer and videographer at the wedding, but Brian and Rebecca were so respectful of our space. They were the perfect combination of warm, approachable, and professional. Our final film is so beautiful, we've already watched it a million times. Thank you both so much!

So… After 2019, I decided that 2020 was going to be the year. It was going to be the breakout year for weddings and events. Filming every other weekend, capturing all the precious moments that every videographer cries over in their editing room about. I prepared my box of tissues at hand, (100 boxes in fact). All the beautiful moments in 2020, I couldn’t wait! Well that never happened! But here we are in 2022! It’s time to get the dress, get the photographer, walk down the isle and have the wedding of your dreams. My name is Andrew McCarthy, I would love to film your wedding :)

My husband and I were looking for videographers for our wedding when we met Andrew. In addition to Andrew, we met with another small business owner who had been in the industry for 10 years and a large, well established business. To be honest, we were on the fence about having a videographer due to the skyrocketing cost of our wedding however, after watching some Wedding videos we decided that it was important to us. As I mentioned, we met with a few different business owners. I usually make my decisions based on reviews and previous work. Andrew provided all of that to us but the other businesses we were talking to obviously had more in their portfolios since they have been around for some time. We decided to move forward with Andrew because of the gut feeling that we got from him. He was so extremely kind, attentive, flexible, determined and we could tell that he would do an amazing job with capturing our wedding! The day of our wedding, it rained and our day of coordinator turned out to be more hands off than we had anticipated. This basically left a huge gap in our wedding. Andrew was 1 of 3 of my wedding vendors who stepped in and really helped make sure that I didn't worry about anything other than enjoying my wedding. He absolutely did more than what his job was for that day (like getting the bride water and directing guests etc.). At the end of the night, we even had 2 additional hours left per our contract so Andrew came to our afterparty to capture some additional footage. If you're considering Andrew for your event, take my word and book him!!! He has a heart of gold and will treat your wedding like it's his own sister's/brother's wedding. We are so glad to have met Andrew and know that he will be so successful!!!

550Park Luxury Wedding Films

  • Serves Arlington Heights, IL

Brent is considered one of the top wedding cinematographers based out of the Northeastern USA. He frequently travels the globe, documenting weddings for couples who deserve the best of the best. After growing up in Central Jersey, Brent chose to move down to Nashville for college and then shortly after graduation, officially founded 550Park out of New York City. He is a passionate tennis player, chef, and world adventurer.

We loved getting to work with Brent. From the moment we got a response back to our final questionnaire, Brent was professional, easy to work with, and very fast at communicating. Of all our vendors, Brent was the best one. The day of our wedding, he arrived early and ready to go! He was like a spy, didn't get in any of our photos, and his documentary approach to capturing the wedding day was reflected in our wedding video, we got such great candid moments from our guests and ourselves. Our final video was insane, and we love it! It was better than we could ever have imagined. The moments and quality of the video and the sound was crazy good! We didn't originally think a wedding video was as important as wedding photos, but after getting our photos back, we love our wedding video 1000x more. Having this video to show our son, remember our special guests after they have passed, and to remember how happy we were on our wedding day is more special than words can say. A wedding package from Brent is a must!

Hi there! I'm Anthony Hagen, the creative heart behind Wedding Love Film. I've filmed over 350 weddings, using a cinematic style to capture your unique love story in a film you'll treasure forever. My customized videography packages fit your budget and vision, from all-day coverage to a shorter, intimate edit. I specialize in capturing candid emotions, turning real moments into unforgettable memories. Not sure how much coverage you need? I’m here to guide you! Let’s create something beautiful—reach out today to discuss your perfect package.

Anthony was easy to work with at the wedding. I was a DJ at the wedding I worked with him and from an artistic standpoint, what I saw of his work so far was great. Just like the rest of the vendors at this wedding, he went with the flow and went above and beyond to give the couple the best experience they could get especially under the crazy weather circumstances we had! Rain almost all day, thunderstorms, a tornado warning (it was an outdoor tent wedding) and some high winds that almost took out the tent! Despite that, he remained positive and fun. His needs from me were minimal (tapping into my sound system) and he made sure I wasn't busy when he asked me about it. If the rest of his work is as good as the little I've seen so far, you can't go wrong with his video service!

I found Saja through a tagged video of my wedding venue (The Glen Manor House) midway through planning, and was immediately sold! Her artistry, talent and the opulence mirrored my vision so much that I ended up firing my previously booked videographer! So if you’re reading this, and you already booked a videographer; you may need to reconsider because every bride needs a Saja on her wedding day! She is personable, professional and extremely considerate! The produced work is phenomenal and is a keepsake that will transcend family generations!! You regret hiring Mawaddah Productions for your big day!

After graduating from the University of Iowa with a degree in film, I hit the ground running and began LEAP Weddings, which allowed me to do something I truly love - create films, every weekend. LEAP has taught me how to improve my skills as a filmmaker, editor, producer, leader and entrepreneur and, as a result, I have been able to build three more companies - The BMP Film Co., Epoch Studio Salon, and Our Days. It's been a great run so far and, from the looks of it, I don't really plan to stop running anytime soon. Thank you for checking us out and I look forward to working with you.

My husband and I hired LEAP to film our wedding in 2019 and we are so glad we did! They filmed my brother's wedding a few years before and I knew they were our top choice for ours. From the initial appointment, the LEAP team talked to us and to hear about who we are, our relationship, and our vision for our wedding. They were easy to talk with, fun to be around, and very professional. On our wedding day, the entire team was great to have around. The were comfortable to talk to, but not intrusive, and they were able to capture everything from the big moments to the little details. The final product was so beautifully put together and truly encapsulated our favorite and most memorable parts of what we had envisioned. When we received our video, it was so much fun to relive our wedding day and I am so grateful to have it for the rest of our lives. I cannot recommend LEAP Weddings highly enough!
