Awarded Best of Zola
Godfred was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. He captured every moment flawlessly and worked very well with our wedding planner and photographers. The 3 videos he delivered gave us the perfect variety of choices when it came to sharing footage with our guests and family. He really took the time to understand the tone of the wedding. His outfit for the wedding also matched the vibe we were going for and I really appreciated that extra touch. I hope I never have to get re-married, but if I do I'd go with Gordino Photo and Video again 100%!

Awarded Best of Zola
We hired Munaco Pictures to film our wedding and Tom was absolutely amazing! He never stopped from the first moment until the last, working hard to capture everything with his multiple cameras, a drone, and even a GoPro that he strapped to a champagne bottle for some awesome bottle-cam shots! He was also a pleasure to have around during the entire getting-ready process, as well as throughout the wedding ceremony and reception. He captured everything candidly and without us having to worry about a thing, but he also made sure to involve us directly in some of the epic drone dance floor shots and anything else that was extra special so that we wouldn’t miss out during all the wedding commotion. And his turnaround time was astounding! We received an awesome teaser video of our wedding in less than 24 hours! It was great to have that video so that we could immediately share our wedding highlights with our family and friends. And everyone loved it! We also appreciate him going above and beyond with the little details of our big day, like purchasing a white lapel mic to match the groom's uniform during the ceremony. That was truly the mark of a great videographer who cares about his clients! Thank you so much for everything, Tom! We can see now why you are one of the best in the biz! You certainly worked extremely hard and captured some amazing shots for us! We are truly happy to have had you as our videographer on our wedding day and we love having all of our special memories preserved so perfectly on video. Thank you again for a job well done! :)

Having grown up on a farm in Central Illinois, I am a filmmaker living in Chicago. I began doing wedding videography in 2017 while living in Bend, Oregon. I love intimate, small-scale weddings and elopements.

Awarded Best of Zola
Hiring Jacob is a NO BRAINER! I cannot say enough great things about or experience! From the moment we hired him, and the whole process of receiving our video and raw footage afterwards... was smooth, easy, and we are eternally grateful! To this day, we always tell everyone how important it is to hire a videographer... the emotion is very different from photos. Live footage just helps you piece back together and process your perfect day! I had asked for a few different things, like having music playing through the whole video and snippets of both of our vows and Jacob way overdelivered and exceeded my expectations! Check out his Vimeo videos- they are unreal and will give you all the feels! Do not hesitate in hiring him. The video he creates will bring back all the best moments of your wedding day!

I grew-up in Belém, the state of Pará, in Brazil. When I explain where Belém is, I always say it is next to the Amazon. I also say what a beautiful city it is. After Belém I moved to Rio, where I realized how much passion I have for photography. It wasn't until I came to Chicago that I could be myself and do what I love. I studied video before photography and started doing short films. Today, I am a photographer and videographer with a great heart, who wants to capture memories. This is the way I express myself. That is Izabella West -- happy and in love with the world!

One of the best decisions we made was to use Izabella and West Films to capture our wedding. She had done my sister's wedding a couple of years prior and my family loved her immediately and she did such an incredible job. Izabella is friendly, professional, and an extremely gifted videographer. She exceeded our wildest dreams and we cannot stop watching our wedding rehearsal dinner highlight videos on repeat :) Izabella and her team captured the most special moments and we couldn't be happier with the quality of the end products. Izabella worked in the background throughout our day but still felt like part of the family. Take this as your sign to connect with Izabella and West Films. You will not be disappointed!!

Something New Media

  • Serves River Forest, IL

Your wedding is one of the most important days of your life as you walk down the aisle to say yes to forever. You have spent months or even years planning for it. Perfecting every detail. Making it uniquely yours. The ultimate celebration of your love. Our passion is to capture those moments in time on film so you can relive the greatest love story ever told… Yours.

If you are debating on hiring Something New Media to capture your day this is your sign to STOP and hire them immediately!!! During my wedding planning process, I read so many reviews and opinions on if hiring a videographer for your wedding is “worth it” and it is!! Something New Media did such an amazing job from start to finish! I absolutely LOVE pictures, videos and anything that will help me relive the big moments in my life. I came across Something New Media on Instagram and I knew I needed to hire them after my first interaction. I reached out to find out if they were available on my wedding date and then they sent me some sample work. I am not lying when I say this was the first and ONLY wedding video that I watched in its entirety. I didn’t even know these people and I was getting so emotional. I felt like I did know the couple, their love story and that I was at their wedding. It was incredible, and, in that moment, I reached back to find out the steps to reserve them. They were great with communication during the entire process, they made changes to arrival times to ensure I got everything I paid for, they were so personable the days of. Ovi and Tyler captured so many amazing moments and they were so fun. They did not interfere with any of our moments and just made sure to capture all the small details…. Then we received our videos. HIRE THESE PEOPLE!!!! Our videos are INCREDIBLE! As the bride I will tell you there are so many moments from the day that I did not get to see or just simply was too overwhelmed to soak in. The entire ceremony video allowed me to see my husband walking his grandma and my mom down the aisle. It allowed me to see my bridal party dancing the aisle and it allowed me to relive the moments in our vows when we both had the most genuine and excited expressions. And then there is the highlight film, I want to literally put this video on repeat and watch it nonstop for the rest of my life. If you have the chance to hire Something New Media, again do not hesitate. You will not regret it.

Hey there! I'm Fernando Ávila. I founded Ellyce Wedding Films while my wife and I were planning our wedding in 2019.

I have been filming weddings for 10 years now with over 300 weddings under my belt. I have been extremely blessed and honored to have been apart of so many beautiful love stories. As a musician who studied music, filmmaking has truly captured my heart and allowed me a creative fusion of music and visuals. The song selection is so important to me in my films that I dedicate a lot of time to find those perfect songs that truly reflect each couple. I love to tell stories, I love to travel, and I love my family. I love to create and capture moments that tell a story while leaving people emotionally engaged and captivated throughout the film.

Hi! Courtney here (that's me on the left!). Shutter and Sound is the brainchild of renowned wedding videographer Ryan Geldermann. Ryan began his wedding videography career in 2010 in Los Angeles and quickly became recognized as one of the top videographers in the U.S.. After relocating to DC and still receiving countless inquiries from all corners of the country, Ryan decided to recruit and train a few talented friends so he could continue offering the quality wedding videography he’s known for in SoCal and eventually over 10 cities. Shutter and Sound is a very small group of filmmakers dedicated to turning your big day into a work of art.

Awarded Best of Zola
We are thrilled with the stunning work of Shutter and Sound! Their highly talented videographers perfectly captured all the love and memories of our wedding day, and helped preserve them in film. Reliving the day by watching our highlight video brought us and our family to tears of joy. Every beautiful moment was captured with crystal-clear visuals from getting ready with our wedding attendants to our sparkler send off at the end of the night. The drone footage and details shots also perfectly blended with the rest of the film and helped set the stage for our perfect day. We can’t thank Shutter and Sound enough for the creativity and care they put into making our wedding video. I highly recommend!
