About

Storytelling is our passion, and we have countless hours of experience to support us. Yes, you could just have Aunt Muriel record the ceremony on her iPad or home camera, and some people do! Everyone has different opinions on what's important for their wedding day (as we're sure you've already noticed from friends and family). But Aunt Muriel doesn't have years of practice and technical knowledge behind her, and she probably doesn't have high-quality equipment either. If you are looking for a video that not only captures the events of the day, but the emotion of it as well, nothing comes close to having a professional wedding film.


Experience Matters

White Tree Studios has been filming weddings all over the country for the past 6 years. Since then, we've filmed over 100 weddings, each with their own new challenges. On the day of your wedding, you want someone who has a firm grasp of the flow of a wedding day; not someone who just does this for some extra cash on the weekends. We're a small, personal wedding film boutique; not a big cookie-cutter, multi-city production company. We won't be outsourcing your work to whoever happens to be available that weekend, and we won't be shipping your video overseas for editing (yes, this really happens). With those 100 weddings under our belt, we have all the backups and workarounds to get you an incredible wedding video, no matter what comes our way.

Another huge part of hiring your wedding videographer is finding someone who you're actually going to enjoy being around on your wedding day. We've seen plenty of "professional" photographers and videographers who seem to think it's their day, rather than yours. We're not ok with that. Our priority is getting you a wedding video that you will love without annoying the heck out of you or your guests. No bright lights right up in your face. No ticking off the officiant to get a "cool" shot. If you honestly forget we're there most of the time, then we've done our jobs right.

Best Videographer Ever! Great to work with!

I cannot say enough good things about White Tree Studios - they are amazing videographers and great to work with. From our first call, Alex had the same vision we did, to capture our love in the truest way and on our wedding day him and his wife did just that. We received our video and watch it all the time - they captured our day beautifully. If you are looking for a wedding videographer the best decision you can make is hiring White Tree Studios! It’s our one year anniversary and we just watched our video and I’m so glad we can keep this tradition and watch it every year on this special day. Thank you White Tree Studios, you were amazing to work with and we love our video! White Tree Studios is amazing, reasonably priced and the quality of the video exceeds our expectations!

Top tier quality and service with White Tree Studios!

We could not have asked for a more seamless process while working with Alex and his team. They are remarkable at being behind the scenes while producing a front row seat to all the major and minor details of our wedding day in the footage. As a bride, they made me feel at ease and captured the moments I want to relive daily. I highly recommend their flexible packages and services!

Favorite vendor hands down

My husband and I cannot recommend Whitetree Studios enough! They were the first vendor we booked and hands down our favorite to work with. They were extremely responsive from the very beginning, and continued to be so right up until our wedding day. (Unlike some vendors who seem to be distant for a year after receiving their full payment)

On our wedding day they were professional, timely, and had a great vibe. They were extremely laid back and made us feel very comfortable while also getting all of their shots that needed to be done. They blended in perfectly throughout the ceremony/reception and were flexible when running behind etc.

We received our wedding videos and are THRILLED. They capture our day perfectly and everyone we show them to raves about how wonderful they are. We continue to watch them over and over-especially our highlight video!

Overall they were fun to work with, very reasonably priced, and the finished product was everything we could have hoped for if not more!

Excellent Experience

We LOVED working with White Tree Studios throughout our wedding planning. From the beginning, they were attentive and caring, and you could see their dedication to their job. It was wonderful working with both Alex and Amanda, as they tag-teamed our wedding day- capturing both the quiet, beautiful moments as well as the traditional, spotlighted portions of the day such as our vows, speeches, first dance. Our wedding day did not make it easy for them given the threatening storm in the background, but they somehow were able to put together videos that surpassed our expectations. I loved how they weren't just our videographers but actually cared about our day. White Tree Studios- thank you so much again!

Dream Videographer and Couple Goals

The most genuine, heart-felt, authentic, and valuable vendor we had! I constantly find myself thinking of ways to need a videographer again just to be able to work with Alex and Amanda again! They were a dream team, produced the most incredible work, and even on my own wedding day had me admiring their commitment to both, their work and each other! #couplegoals

Highly recommend

Hiring a wedding videographer wasn’t originally in my budget but I decided later in the planning process to hire white tree and I am SO thrilled I did. They were wonderful to work with. We just had our one year anniversary and we spent it watching our videos, our vows, the reception speeches, and it was the best way to relive the day!

Best Day Ever with White Tree Studios!

We hired Alex and Amanda for our winter wedding in Chicago because we LOVED their storytelling video style! Beyond their obvious videography skills, Alex & Amanda were SO much fun! We all instantly clicked and they truly shared in the joy of our big day. They were also up for anything and were totally easygoing. It was so nice to be surrounded by people like Alex and Amanda who made us feel at ease during what can be a stressful day! We are so thankful we hired them, and now have beyond incredible videos to watch. Thank you, White Tree Studios!!!

We loved White Tree Studios!

I loved my friend's wedding video, and she referred me to White Tree Studios - she only had positive things to say about her experience and the footage! I knew after my first call with Alex that I wanted to hire him - he patiently answered all of my questions, walked me through his process, and gave us several package options to consider. We are SO happy with our four-minute video, and it was so special to watch our ceremony and reception footage on our first anniversary. Alex captured our day perfectly, and somehow managed to stay out of view while doing so - I don't remember seeing him until he said goodbye! I have recommended White Tree Studios to friends and would 100% Alex again to capture our wedding day! https://vimeo.com/263583430

We loved working with Alex through White Tree Studios for our wedding! He has a very friendly and easy going personality so it was a pleasure having him along on our wedding day. We absolutely adore our wedding video, and several of our friends and family members have since used him based off the video he made for us. Would highly recommend!

Alex is a joy to work with! He is kind, caring, and listened to not only my style and must-haves but to me unnecessarily gush about the love of my life on our first call. He chatted with me through every concern, answered emails promptly, and never gave me a reason to worry. My husband couldn’t help but tell me how much he enjoyed meeting Alex after our wedding and while I heard a lot of praise, I still wanted to see the final product before sealing my loyalty to White Tree Studios. When we finally received our highlight reel, I couldn’t stop watching it. The 4 minute video was everything I could’ve wanted and more: Alex highlighted my most favorite moments as well as those I missed. He chose my husband and Is favorite song for the music and truly captures all the joy, love, and happiness we felt on that day and everyday since. While Alex’s work is impressive, it speaks for itself. What I can attest to is how easy and care free it was to work with him. He was one vendor I never had to worry about! Please, if you want videography, give Alex a call and hear him out. He had me sold after the first 15 minutes. Check out our video: https://vimeo.com/292036704

I just worked with White Tree Studios on a long wedding day. At times having a videographer there can make a photographer's day more difficult, but Alex worked with me, helping both of us achieve the shots we needed. He's professional and friendly and I'd highly recommend him to any couple or photographer!
