Better Half Wedding Video 

5.0

  • Documentary style
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Palos Park, 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

  • Documentary style
  • Serves Palos Park, 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 are privileged to comment on Brent's work. We were one of his first clients of the 2023 wedding season in the NYC-NJ area. As with many couples, we struggled with finding a great videographer at a reasonable price. Brent was a godsend. Brent came to meet us near where we lived. He was very realistic about how our film would come together, what was feasible and what was not. The contract was very reasonable and covered various situations. Quality: the films were excellent. Brent has worked in the videography world for many years, so he's used to adapting to changing environments and getting the best shots describing a particular moment. Interaction: Brent's interaction with us was one of utmost professionalism and warmth. He was very friendly and respectful toward all of our attendees and staff at the wedding and reception. Most of our guests were working professionals and our guests loved this guy. Attire: he was dressed just as sharp as anyone else in attendance. No worries there. Brent does the ground-work well in advance of the event - scouting the sites we were going to be at on the big day: wedding venue, scenic portrait locations, reception. He met with the primary staff there, surveyed the location for good vantage points and potential issues and let us know in advance if there were any issues he foresaw. He was respectful of the restrictions at the church wedding while managing to get all the right shots. He's the kind of professional you would want to be friends with outside of the wedding. We highly recommend Brent and would hire him for future family events. Good luck on your event!

I cannot thank Saja and Mawaddah Productions enough for producing the wedding film of my dreams! Saja was a joy to work with. She is exactly the type of person you want around you on your wedding day: calm, kind, and professional. Saja was proactive about communicating with my husband and I during the planning process and made an effort to get to know us and understand our hopes for our wedding day. The final film reflected that intentionality by showcasing the feelings and details of our day beautifully and authentically. Saja made us feel valued throughout the process of working with her, and went above and beyond by including some surprises with the delivery of our film. We will treasure our wedding film for decades to come.

LEAP Weddings

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!
