If you are looking for a videographer, look no further! Rhys & his team were amazing to work with. They captured every detail of our day beautifully. The highlight reel turned out even better than we could have hoped, and we love that we can rewatch our ceremony and reception for years to come. Rhys was very responsive throughout the planning process. The day of, they arrived early, & we barely noticed the cameras the entire day. I highly recommend working with Rhys and his team.

Video Reflections

  • Storytelling style
  • Serves River Forest, IL

In 2005 Tim started capturing wedding stories and founded Video Reflections. In 2018 his sons Trevor and Aaron caught his passion. Trevor, the lead videographer and editor, captures the imagination of couples with his out-of-the-box creativity. Aaron, assistant videographer and graduate of Columbia College Film School, is a visionary filmmaker. His portfolio includes several short films, documentaries and viral stop motion animations. In 2019 Abby joined the family team and now assists Tim with his recent addition of wedding photography.

I was looking very hard for a videographer that met our budget and delivered a high quality product. I spent more time searching for a videographer than any other wedding vendor because I was not happy with the majority of videographers I found on the internet. Video Reflections was one of only a few I contacted because I was impressed with the quality and artistry of their work. When we met Tim and Trevor, we were very happy with their professionalism and caring. They rolled with our unconventional plans, meeting us again a week before the wedding to make sure they understood our plans so they could capture them. We ended up buying the package that included a highlight video and a documentary and we are so happy with our decision. We were very budget conscious with our wedding but we knew that we wanted to prioritize the photography and videography so that we had the priceless memories. They are very reasonably priced compared to other videographers, but I would not have spent the money for a sub-par videographer if I did not like their portfolio. They did a wonderful job and were very calm and supportive the day of our wedding-very easy to work with. I loved seeing the parts of the day I missed and remembering parts that had flown by in the rush of it all, which, sadly, was a lot. My highest recommendation.

My husband and I had the absolute best experience working with Trey and team. Trey truly took the time to learn about us as individuals, who we are together, what mattered to us most, and our vision for our wedding day. He is personable and professional and will truly feel like a friend that you are excited to see when the big day comes. Our video turned out better than we could’ve ever imagined and it is such a treasure to have such an elegantly captured representation of our day to look back on. It has also been the perfect way to share our experience with family and friends who weren’t able to make it. Watching the days events unfold through the perspective of a guest is such a cool experience and had us falling in love with the day all over again. Working with Trey was a flawless and stress free experience and took the pressure off us because he really was able to lead our team through the events seamlessly. We are so happy with the finished products down to being obsessed with the song choices he picked. He took all our feedback and ideas into consideration and just made our video spectacular. He is truly an artist in videography and we cannot recommend working with him enough!

Hi, I'm Jazmin! I’m passionate about what I do and love creating and capturing genuine, candid moments. I’m there to capture the joy, laughter, emotion, and beauty of your wedding day. I love it when my couples relax, go with the flow, and enjoy themselves. My mission is to help put your love story on display for the world with the memories we capture together — and have an amazing time in the process!

Awarded Best of Zola
I really don't even know where to start!! From start to finish, Jazmin was so amazing, sweet and kind! My wedding video is SOOOO FREAKING BEAUTIFUL and makes me and my husband cry every time! Best decision EVER! Every single important moment of my wedding day was captured, even moments I didn't even realize were being filmed or moments I didn't think I needed! She never missed a beat and was so professional and amazing! The time, effort, and passion she puts into her work is something most people dream of, but me, my husband, and our families witnessed it firsthand, and it's so beautiful and comforting (especially on a stressful day like a wedding)! My guests LOVED her because she was so considerate of them as well, making sure she wasn't blocking their view if she could help it, and just being kind and interacting with them throughout the entire day! Months before my wedding, she was prompt, professional, communicative, and laid out everything as far as what we should expect before, during, and after our wedding. I am so so glad we went with Jazmin and Jayzie Kaye Wedding Films!! I don't plan on getting married again lol, but working with her is an experience I would repeat if I could! Thank you so much Jazmin for being the most beautiful human being (inside and out) that I have ever met! You are a true gift!

I love coffee. I never leave home without it. I’m easy going. I love to chill. I’m a huge sports fan and I love watching Skip Bayless and others argue on Fox. Basketball was my first love and even in my thirties I still daydream about playing in the NBA. As a teenager, while most of my peers were listening to 2Pac and Biggie, I preferred Marvin Gaye, Al Green and The Temptations. I’ve been told that I have an old soul. At the end of the day I love life, I love my job and my customers always come first.

Awarded Best of Zola
It’s very important that the photographers and videographers not only get along with, but work well together. Making sure you’re not in each others shots and staying creative through the day. We had a great time working alongside Lawrence and his second videographer. I highly recommend them for your big day!

I am Angela; owner, lead photographer, and wedding film director. My husband, Zac, is my favorite teammate and covers lead (gimbal) videography, or 2nd shooting (photography). We've been photographing and filming weddings together since 2010! He has a storytelling perspective, while I love details and intimacy. The tension between the two creates such a romantic vibe! When you need a larger team, we pull in our favorite colleagues - professionals in their own right - to work with us for the day. We have very close peer-vendor relationships with a solid group of amazing artists we work with regularly.

Almost Fantasy Photo Video were an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding day. Their communication style was kind, fun, and excellent from start to finish. The quality of their work was beautiful, high quality, and had great lighting - we got so many amazing pictures that we'll cherish forever. They were so sweet and helpful throughout the day, and were very flexible in accommodating our needs. We couldn't be happier with the memories they captured of our special day.

Our approach to wedding filmmaking is simple- deliver the most sincere, organic recollection of the day by acting as unnoticeably as possible. By eliminating the pressures of being filmed, our couples are able to enjoy each moment of their day and be truly present in the experience, providing us with an authentic and emotional collection of frames. Weddings are our passion and we enjoy being able to assist with planning, coordinating and timeline creation throughout the months leading up to your big day. We’re with you every step of the way and are dedicated to creating the best possible version of your love story.

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've worked as an editor and videographer for the last 6 years of my life and filming weddings has allowed me to connect storytelling to a lifelong hobby and passion of mine; videography. In the off-season, I work for creative agencies, production houses, and all kinds of others as a videographer and editor. Follow me on Instagram to see some of my other commercial and creative work that I've had the pleasure of working on.

I have known Brad for a few years and have worked with him on different projects and let me tell you – he is so dang talented. His assistant Andy is also just as wonderful! Those two are seriously ninjas and most of the time you didn’t even know they were there. Our ceremony set up had many angles, and he had sneakily hid microphones too! We had a few things change with Covid and he was right there and communicated quickly. I cannot put into words how happy we are that we hired him to capture out day! (We haven’t gotten our video yet, but I’ve watched friends of ours who have used him and I sob every time because they’re just so beautifully created)

Award winning Videographer team that specialize in the very best day of service. Telling your story of the entire day from start to finish with a Cinematic touch. Everything filmed in 4k with the ability to livestream.

If I could give Chris more than 5 stars, I WOULD! He did such an amazing job at our wedding! Not only was he professional and punctual, but he went above and beyond! Helped me stay calm when we hit a couple bumps along the way, brought me water after the ceremony (I hadn’t realized I hadn’t drank any for awhile), made sure I had drinks throughout the night, but also made sure I ate before attending to my guests! He helped me take care of myself in the midst of the chaos! My husband and I read our vows privately before the ceremony and Chris already sent that over and I have cried so many times watching it already because he captured the moment perfectly! I can’t wait to see the rest of the footage! 10000/10 would recommend Chris for your wedding videographer!
