I could not have asked for a better crew for our special day! They arrived punctual to our hotel room to get special moments of the ladies getting ready, while the other crew was at the church getting ready to film! They fulfilled my biggest wish of wanting the whole ceremony filmed, but also had a special added note from our loved ones on marriage to start our video. I am so lucky to have this to cherish for the rest of our marriage!Chicago Cinematic Weddings's reply:
Thank you so much for the very kind words, you planned the perfect day! Good Shepherd was wonderful and Elements at Water Street was awesome! So thanks to you and Patrick, family and friends for welcoming us to be part of your wedding day.
Sincerely, Barb Scott Javi -

Hannah Z. Sent on 12/20/2023AMAZING Experience !
Barb & Scott captured our wedding exactly how we envisioned. Working with them & their assistant was an absolute blessing. They were very communicative, easy going & fun to work with. They’ve worked with almost all of my husband’s family members with their weddings & did not disappoint with ours!
Was a little nervous because I’m a little uneasy in front of cameras, but they both made the experience so comfortable. They managed to get shots of things we didn’t even think of, but are so happy they did. Things like different angles in the church, the utilization of the drone capturing our car as we drove away (didn’t think we’d want a drone but am SO happy they have one!), and capturing family/friends emotions through film. Those are just a few examples of the many. They’re all small details, but they’re the big points of the night that encapsulate everything we want to remember.
Thank you again Barb & Scott, so happy to have worked with you!Chicago Cinematic Weddings's reply:

Chicago Cinematic Weddings was a perfect choice, and I couldn't be happier with the beautiful video of our wedding day. They captured all the moments. I wasn't sure if I wanted to splurge on a videographer, but I am so happy I did. It was totally worth it!Chicago Cinematic Weddings's reply:
Wow, thank you so much Kate, we are so happy you love you wedding video! And we thank you for trusting us to document your day! -

I would hire them over and over again.
This company was recommended to us by another videographer who was booked the day of our wedding, and we have no regrets about booking them! First, we had to postpone our wedding due to COVID-19 and Scott was very accommodating. He was absolutely incredible to work with and made everything so easy. Scott and the second videographer went above and beyond, giving us posing instructions, finding scenery for photographs, and including small details from our day in the video highlight. My husband and I were comfortable with the videographers and that was a huge relief for me, since cameras are not my thing! Our highlight is just perfect--I wouldn't change a thing about it. I would recommend Chicago Cinematic Weddings to everyone for their weddings! (The picture included is actually a screenshot from our highlight video!)Chicago Cinematic Weddings's reply:
Wow, thank you so very much! The day was perfect! Bleu and Trevor, your family and friends were a pleasure to be around. It was our honor to be chosen to be apart of your wedding day.
Sincerely, Barb Javi Scott -

Words cannot describe how beautiful and professional our wedding video turned out. Barb and Scott were so flexible and understanding when we had to postpone. They captured the highlights of our special day as well as special moments that we couldn't see that day! They created something so special for us that allows up to relive and share our wedding day for years to come!Chicago Cinematic Weddings's reply:
Wow, thank you so much Maureen, you and Brian looked so happy and in love all day! Being around family and friends was a pleasure.

Scott and his team at Chicago Cinamatic Weddings did a fantastic job filming our wedding and capturing all the special moments of our wedding day! They captured all the big moments and even the small details details perfectly. The highlight video and full video edit of our entire day exceeded our expectations. You can really tell they put a lot of work into the edits of raw footage to ensure a quality video. The investment was so worth it.
I initially had to convince my fiancé that we needed a videographer. After seeing the completed wedding videos he is now a believer. We are so happy we hired Chicago Cinamatic Weddings and we would recommend them for all of our best friends and family!
Everyone that we show the highlight video to tells us how amazing it is and it brings them to tears! Happy tears of course! My parents described it as a true Hollywood production!
The videos will be something we will cherish forever! We couldn’t be happier with the outcome!Chicago Cinematic Weddings's reply:
Amber, thank you so much for the very kind words! And Adam I'm glad we converted you, lol. Being with you two and family and friends made the day so effortless, even with all this craziness going on. So Thank you for choosing us to be a part of your day!

Holly B. Sent on 12/14/2020Amazing Videographers
Working with Scott, Barb, and Javi was a wedding dream come true. We didn’t originally plan on having videographers included in our wedding, but after some convincing from our families, we reached out and found Chicago Cinematic Weddings. Scott was amazing to work with and was flexible with our changing ideas as time went on and we decided to add more time and services than originally requested. We were incredibly thankful as well that they continued to work with us when we decided to keep our original wedding day instead of postponing. They were professional and courteous and blended in seamlessly with our other vendors and during the wedding day overall. Now, after seeing their work and having our wedding day captured through their lens, I can’t imagine ever not having videographers. They were so incredibly sweet and wanted to capture the best of our wedding day. I can’t even count how many times I have watched our highlight video and cried every single time from happiness. To anyone who was on the fence about having your wedding day captured in video like I was, do it. And work with Chicago Cinematic Weddings. I am so, so thankful that we did and look forward to watching our wedding video for years and years to come.Chicago Cinematic Weddings's reply:
OMG, Holly, thank you! we are honored you chose us to be with you on your wedding day. The Brix was a fantastic back drop for you guys and on a perfect day. We cherish these words.

Scott's Team was perfect from start to finish. They were not only professional but also personable. They completely captured every detail, moment, and personalities of our day. The end product truly show cased our wedding. Bravo!
I loved their attitude also, they were all happy to be there and helped direct the beautiful shots without interfering with the flow of the day, which makes it all more magical. I mean Javi showed me how to carry my dress while i walked so i looked graceful and pretty instead of the hot mess I usually am haha. We can not thank them enough for all the work they put in. All of my family and friends who have seen the video all said it looked like a hollywood movie.
I would highly recommend them you will not be disappointed.Chicago Cinematic Weddings's reply:

Michael Sent on 04/30/2019Fun and professional during the wedding and then absolutely perfect videos afterwards!
The full wedding video and the highlight video really blew us away. They captured all of the emotion, joy, and fun from the night so wonderfully.
During the day of the wedding, they were professional, gave clear instructions when they wanted a particular shot, and were receptive to any ideas that we had. They did a great job of capturing all of the moments, while also giving us space; it never felt like we were being watched and filmed the whole time.
We received our highlight video shortly after the wedding. It's roughly 7 minutes long and has clips from all throughout the night. Most of the video has music in the background, with the exception of a brief audio clip from the ceremony, and it worked really well. We had some input on the songs that are played during the video and having music that's special to the two of us in the video really helps make it just perfect. The highlight video is perfect for sharing and watching with friends and family.
The full video really did a great job of capturing everything that happened during the night. Watching it was a lot of fun, since we got to see a bunch of moments that we missed during the day-of. The shot quality and editing is very professional; you can definitely tell a lot of thought and care was put into the videography and editing.
Overall, we are extremely happy with both the day-of experience and final products and will recommend Chicago Cinematic Weddings (and Barb and Scott, in particular) to everyone we know!Chicago Cinematic Weddings's reply:
Michael and Ginny,
It was our pleasure to be with you two and family on your most special day! We are so happy you loved your wedding video and highlight of the day!

They are the best!!Chicago Cinematic Weddings's reply:
