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!

Hello! I’m Amy Lynn, owner and lead videographer at Forever Hello Films. I've been a fashion photographer and music video director for 13 years, and storytelling has always been at the heart of my work. When my closest friends started getting engaged and approached me wanting me to be involved in documenting their days I knew creating films was what I wanted to do for them. The truth is, I love love. I wanted to capture their day in a way that would truly allow them to relive those moments again and again. Re-experiencing the love they shared on that day and what it felt like in a way that feels like them.

Awarded Best of Zola
Amy Lynn's attention to detail, beautiful storytelling, and utmost professionalism is unmatched! She captured our day flawlessly and I have had so many people tell me how they love our wedding photos and day-of video. She is such an easy-going and friendly person that it feels like your best friend is photographing you the entire day. I felt so comfortable with her around us, especially during those intimate "getting ready" moments and the "first look" with my dad. Her time, professionalism, and high-quality photos and videos are definitely worth the investment. Since our wedding, we have asked Amy Lynn to photograph milestone moments in our lives. This just is a testament that not only will she become one of your favorite vendors, but become a life-long friend. Do yourself a favor and just book her!

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!!

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.

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.

I came across Brent with a quick google search when looking for a wedding videographer and he was one of a couple videographers that got back to me. I knew immediately that I wanted to work with Brent because not only was he the first to respond, but he genuinely wanted to get to know my husband and I. The other videographers just let me know they were available for our date and then gave me their prices. Brent wanted to know how we met, how my husband proposed, etc., not to mention he responds to emails and texts and any questions very fast. On our wedding day, Brent help keep everyone moving along on and on time for all of our events and timeline details. He was so easy to work with and captured our day perfectly. We also only had to wait a couple weeks to get our first wedding film teaser video. I can’t recommend Brent enough to anyone looking for a wedding videographer!

Steve was amazing to work with. He makes everything so personal and takes the time to get to you know his clients to create a film that genuinely shows who you are as a couple. I have never been filmed before, and I was nervous about it... but I didn't even notice he was filming half the time because he made us so confrontable. Not only did he film the us, but he had a drone to capture the whole atmosphere of our weekend. He was so professional and FUN to be around and captured the important relationships that you would have wanted in your forever wedding film. A HUGE THANK YOU FOR helping keep the memory alive for the rest of our lives. I have had the film now for a few days and seriously need to stop watching it but i cant...its beautiful.

If you’re reading this review, you’re likely considering Steven and Wild Light Films as part of your big day. DO IT!! We were originally drawn to his unique style of work, music-video like approach, and storytelling ability in capturing the essence of people’s wedding days. Working with Steven was incredible and we can’t say enough about how much we loved his work. We booked him back in 2019 for our 2020 wedding, but of course with COVID we had to push it back a year. He was super flexible and accommodating, and we still figured out a plan to have video footage of an intimate ceremony in 2020, as well as the original plan for 2021. He did such an amazing job incorporating the two ceremonies together into one seamless video, which he turned around even quicker than we expected! Steven is a delight to work with—truly a genuinely kind person. His video editing craftsmanship and storytelling are compelling—rewatching our video + highlights felt like taking us right back to the memories and joy of our day. Do yourself and your future self a favor and get Steven to make your wedding video that you’ll cherish for years to come.

Any talented wedding videographer can create a romantic cinematic wedding film of your wedding but there's so much more to a wedding day than that. While we craft our videos around the love you share, the fun you have when it's just the two of you as well as the celebration with your family and guests is what really makes each story so unique. So, as you'll notice in the examples above, no two wedding highlight videos are the same. We do our best to customize each wedding video we create to fit the couple we're working with as well as the flow of the wedding day, which will allow you to relive your day the way that it actually happened!

Visual Reflection Video was one of the best wedding videographers I've ever worked with! Their communication was consistent, prompt and professional throughout the entire planning process. The quality of their work and value was truly amazing - they were so knowledgeable and went above and beyond to make our special day perfect. When our photographer no-showed, the videographer took the initiative to use his own camera to capture some getting ready photos of us, even though it wasn't in our contract. He really took control of the situation and made me not worry about a thing. Visual Reflection Video will exceed your expectations and deliver an incredible final product that you'll treasure forever!

We love the real emotions and events of a wedding day. Our approach is a little different to filming weddings, we mic up more than just the couple, preferably some of the bridal party and some of the parents. This allows us to pull from real conversations, and constantly show the wedding how it unfolds.

My fiancé and i are shy people, but Brandon made us feel so comfortable during our engagement session. We laughed during the entire session, i would recommend them to anyone looking for a videographer. Once we saw our video we posted it immediately to share with our loved one. Absolutely amazing!
