“I looked at SO MANY wedding videos and they were all so similar and cookie cutter. They were lacking something but I couldn’t put my finger on it. THEN I FOUND JIMMY SHIN.

“Caleb Lee Productions provided exceptional videography services for our wedding. Their communication style was quick, to the point, and thorough, which helped keep us informed and on track throughout the process. The quality of their work and value was outstanding - they were attentive, hardworking, and detail-oriented, capturing all the important moments of our special day. For example, when the bride became ill and the schedule had to change unexpectedly, they were able to quickly adapt and get all the necessary shots without disrupting the flow of the event. We were extremely pleased with Caleb Lee Productions and would highly recommend their services to any couple planning their wedding.”

“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!”

“It is so hard for me to write a review on Maloch Media, because it is so hard to put into words how exceptional they are. Trevor and his team are such a joy to be around on one of the most important days of your life. Trevor wasn't just there as a videographer but there as a friend. Throughout the whole day he was making sure that I was comfortable and had what I needed, and he was there to comfort me during the overwhelming times. He exceeded any expectations that I may have had. I truly cannot say enough great things about him and his work, it is truly exceptional. Every time that we watch our wedding video we are just overwhelmed with emotions, the video makes us feel like we are reliving the day all over again. He captured things that we don't even remember seeing on our wedding day. His work is impeccable. Maloch Media is the perfect addition to any wedding, they are worth every penny and more!”

I became indulged in the story-telling of my wedding couples. Being surrounded by the excitement, sometimes nervous couples, and their loving families and friends made the filming such a rush. Then to have the honor to edit a film where their personalities and love shine through is the greatest privilege. I want to take them on a journey back in time to the most epic day where they laugh and cry with all their family and friends. I make films that last the ages. I love to think about how my couples might show their kids or even grandkids someday.

“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!”

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.

“Finding the right videographer was incredibly important to us because we wanted more than just photos. We wanted to capture the voices, the laughter, the tears, the movement—every emotion that made our day unforgettable. At first, we struggled to find a connection with the work we saw, but after months of searching online, we came across Alex V Films, and his work left a lasting impression on us. It was exactly what we had been searching for. From the moment we met Alex, his warm personality and passion for his craft put us completely at ease. He took the time to understand our vision, showing incredible attention to detail and truly listening to what we wanted. His talent for capturing not only the big moments but also those small, candid interactions brought everything to life in a way we could only dream of. Alex was able to beautifully weave our vows into the movement and storytelling of our film, bringing each word to life. In my vows, I shared a memory about my papa. As he approached his final days, I asked him, “Papa, what can you tell me about love?” He gently touched his chest and said, “You feel it in your heart.” Alex captured this moment with such care; as I spoke the words, “my papa touched his chest,” the video transitioned to my wife, sliding her hand gently down my chest, mirroring my papa’s gesture. It was as if he had breathed life into our vows, capturing not just the words, but the emotion and legacy behind them. Alex made the experience of working with him enjoyable. Throughout the process, his communication was top-notch, and professionalism shone through every step of the way. He was attentive of our needs and made the process easy. Alex didn’t just record our day—he captured its essence. Every look, every laugh, every precious detail we wanted to hold onto is now a part of a beautiful memory we’ll cherish for a lifetime. These are moments that photos alone could never fully capture; they’re filled with emotions that will be felt and connected to for years to come. At the beginning of this process, Alex was a stranger. As we got to know him we felt as though he became a friend. We’re forever grateful to have found Alex, who created more than just a video—he created a keepsake of our love and joy that we will cherish for a lifetime.”

“My husband and I had the pleasure of having Emelie shoot the video for our wedding in April 2020. When we chose Emelie we had planned a large extravagant wedding at our venue with 250+ people. With the pandemic hitting our country just the month before our big day we were stuck with a ton of options and not really knowing what to do. We decided to go through with our wedding plans on our original day but we were only allowed to have 10 people there- including ourselves. There was absolutely no doubt in my mind that Emelie would be one of those 10 people no matter what, and I have never regretted that decision. Emelie captured our day and our love perfectly. I think my favorite thing about her is that she is so quiet that you barely realize she is there but the creative juices are flowing through her and that really shows in all of her videos. My favorite thing to do (probably once a week) is watch our video and cry many happy tears. I love the way she tells all of her couples love stories, but especially ours. My best advice is if you’re thinking about video but don’t know how to fit it in your budget- FIND A WAY! Save all the pennies and throw them toward Emelie. You will never regret it.”
