  Henry is one of a kind! HIRE HIM!

  I'm writing this review as a full-service wedding planner who recently worked with Henry for a client's wedding and I can not sing his praises enough! Henry is beyond talented, I've admired his work for a while and I was THRILLED to be working with him for my client's wedding weekend!
  
  Not only is Henry hilarious, but he's a kind, genuine soul that brings a true sense of ease on a day that can feel high-stress with a ton of moving parts. It's very clear he's dedicated to his art and loves what he does, I can't wait to see the final video I know it's going to make me emotional and capture their entire day perfectly! I HIGHLY recommend Henry and his talented team, I can't wait for the next opportunity to work together and will be referring him to all of my clients!

  Beyond thrilled with our video!

  I knew from a few videos that Henry's style was everything I was looking for in a videographer. But seeing my own video has absolutely blown be away. He is so talented and captured the day's emotions in the most beautiful way. Patting myself on the back at the wonderful decision I made :)

  Best Videography Around

  Where do I even begin? When we started the planning process for our wedding, we knew we wanted someone who could capture the day perfectly and that ended up being Henry. He went above and beyond to make sure he was able to tell our story in the most special way. We cannot be more grateful for the gift he has given us - a lifetime of memories. Cannot recommend him enough for your wedding! You will not be let down, trust me. Thanks Henry!!

  Henry is a true artist!

  Words simply cannot describe how wonderful it has been to work with Henry as our wedding videographer. Planning and executing a wedding during the pandemic was stressful, but Henry certainly wasn't a part of that stress and actually worked to alleviate it as much as he could. Henry was an integral part of our wedding planning process -- he answered our many questions quickly and thoroughly, and he even attended our venue's final walkthrough so he could visualize and prepare for shooting the day. He worked well with our photographer and made shooting a wedding throughout an entire day, in multiple locations, seem effortless. He was a joy to be around on our wedding day and has continued to be great to work with since; he is so kind. Henry is a seasoned and knowledgeable wedding expert and artist, and he is truly a master at his craft. He captured even the most minute of details that made our wedding day so special. The highlights film he produced for us is immaculate and so tastefully done. We haven't stopped watching it since we got it! We also purchased the documentary edits of our ceremony and reception and are eagerly awaiting those as we know they will undoubtedly be fantastic. There is no one else you should hire as your videographer if you're looking for a film that is authentic to your wedding day -- Henry is the best there is.

  Incredible - Don't hesitate to work with Henry!

  Henry Wu was incredible to work with, from start to finish. We first met him at a bar for drinks, and instantly got good vibes. He was incredibly thoughtful and provided us with insights that we didn't think of - like that he worked with our photographers to ensure they wouldn't be in each other's way on the day of the wedding. He was an absolute gem to work with - our final products came out amazing. We have evidence of one of the most special days of our lives that was beautifully and artistically captured - I would book him again in a hearbeat. Thanks for everything Henry!

  Henry is an absolute MUST for your wedding videographer

  First of all, Henry is INCREDIBLY talented. He came as a STRONG recommendation from a friend who had used him in their wedding and when I saw his work, I almost immediately knew I wanted to work with him. When we met him for coffee, he was extremely attentive and asked questions to really get to know my husband and me to film the most authentic and beautiful wedding video. To say he captured the most special day of our lives so beautifully doesn't even do it justice. He truly exceeded all of our expectations; we were absolutely blown away. Several of our friends and even people we didn't know that well who saw it on FB said it brought tears to their eyes how beautiful it was. It truly was beyond anything either of us could have imagined. He really pays attention to what's important to you, your partner, and the overall sentiment/mood of the video that you want. If you are considering hiring Henry for your wedding videographer, do it, you will not be disappointed.

  The best wedding videographer in the Midwest

  We LOVE all of the videos produced by HWu Studios! We worked with Henry's associate team for shooting the wedding (they were great - capturing great shots / angles without being in the way at all) and then Henry produced the finish products. We highly recommend him, his team and their collective work. My wife and I are so glad we got video in addition to photography - as my wife said, "it brings life to all of the photos and brings me back much more." Stop thinking about it and get it with Henry.

  Henry’s Work Is Absolute Perfection!!!

  "From the moment I saw Henrys work I KNEW that he was the videographer that needed to capture my husband and I's big day.
  There is something about Henrys documentary style footage that is truly unlike anything I have ever seen. It is so breathtakingly beautiful, so real & raw, and so truly perfect in every single way. In a huge sea of wedding videographers in the Chicagoland area, Henry easily stood out above the rest. His work spoke for itself, but then to meet him in person truly sealed the deal. He is such a kind and easygoing person. He helps to assure you that all will be taken care of on the big day, and he helps to answer any questions you may have, but he also doesn't overwhelm you with messages back and forth. He KNOWS what he's doing and shows up to get the job done.
  It is so crazy, but to capture such intimate moments on your wedding day you feel like it would be so odd to have a videographer following you, but Henry and his crew truly do not even make themselves seen. They have a calming way of being where they need to be to capture all of the moments, yet not getting in the way at all, and making sure that all the Bride & Groom focus on are each other!
  They made our wedding day truly effortless and it was so comforting to know we had them there to capture moments that we would want to relive forever.
  I knew I would love the final edited work because I had seen so much of Henrys work prior to our Wedding Day, but I didn't know I would love it to the extent that I did. Truly, I am speechless. The highlight reel leaves me in tears every time I watch it. The way that it's captured, that it's edited, that the voice clips are utilized, and that the most beautiful but subtle music is playing... Henry is an actual genius behind the camera and within the editing process! Then to top it all off, to receive our fully edited wedding footage of the ceremony and the reception. I have no words. All I can say is I am FOREVER grateful that my husband and I chose Henry as our wedding videographer because I KNOW that there is NO ONE that could've captured the day the way that he was able to. We cannot thank him enough. It is because of Henry that we can sit on our couch, EXACTLY one year after our wedding date (1/19) and FULLY relive the magic of that day.
  Your wedding day flys by faster than anything you could ever imagine, but having Henry capture the day helps to keep those moments alive so that they will always be with you, and we are forever blessed for that."

  Truly Grateful

  I debated hiring a wedding photographer due to the cost, and that wedding videos seemed to be running pictures instead of telling a story.
  
  Henry was recommended by my photographer. That night I researched his work, and no other artist compared. I was sold, and even my husband to be couldn’t provide an argument against hiring him!
  
  Henry was extremely professional and straightforward about his work. During the day of the wedding, you barley knew he was there. He captured moments I didn’t even know happened.
  
  Words cannot express how grateful I am for the beautiful work Henry produced. A wedding video is something you can never redo or get back. Hiring Henry was the best decision my husband and I made. We are so thankful for him and his work!

  Hire Henry Now, Thank Me Later!

  Working with Henry was an absolute pleasure - start to finish. He is kind, creative, talented and so easy to work with!
  
  The level of quality he puts into his work is truly unparalleled, and we've found ourselves saying (on multiple occasions) that Henry was the best money we spent on our wedding day. I was extremely picky about the aesthetic I was looking for (aka nothing cheesy) and I wouldn't change a single thing about Henry's vibe, editing, etc.
  
  Book him! I promise you will not regret it.
  
  Oh! One last thing... I can't forget about his photo booth services! It was by far the best set up I've seen at a wedding. The photo strips are customizable, super quick and easy. Plus he gives you digital copies of all the photos!

  The videos Henry produced made us feel like we were reliving our wedding

  Henry and his team did an unbelievable job filming our wedding (8/4/2018). He brought along a partner so they got multiple angles of our ceremony, speeches, etc. The quality of the video is unbelievable - it felt like movie quality! I can’t say enough good things about his final product - it was just incredibly well-done.
  
  We also used his photo booth services and I thought it was totally seamless!
  
  The only minor complaint I have was that it took a while to get the videos (believe we received the highlight film around 11/20/2018 and the final product around 5/5/2019) but after watching them, I understand why. I wholeheartedly recommend Henry and his team!

  I don't see how you can't not book Henry to shoot your wedding day. Not only is he ridiculously nice but pretty much everything out there pales in comparison to his technique, artistry and ability to be in a room without being noticed. That last trait was key for us considering I have a fiancé who doesn't like to be filmed! We so enjoyed working with him (and Justin- he was awesome too!) and would recommend him to anyone who wants their day filmed beautifully and authentically.

  Henry was wonderful! Neither of us felt comfortable with being filmed, but he made us feel at ease. We'd definitely recommend Henry!

  From the moment we met Henry it was clear how professional and passionate he was about his job. We met with Henry once before signing the contract to make sure we had the same vision in mind and everything matched up perfectly. After watching all of Henry's videos online multiple times we had no doubt he was the one to capture our wedding. Henry is an incredibly humble person who has an amazing talent of capturing the most special, tender, and genuine moments of the entire day. Henry was there without making himself obvious, it was easy to forget we had a videographer at all! After the wedding we were so excited to see our video and he exceeded our expectations. My husband and I have watched it more times then we can count and still get choked up each and every time. After sharing it with family and friends, we have had so many people who weren't even at the wedding praise Henry's work and say they feel as though they shared our day with us. Not only is Henry incredibly talented, he is a genuinely kind and caring individual who has given us the opportunity to relive the perfect day for the rest of our lives. We would recommend Henry to anyone getting married, he's the perfect addition to any wedding.

After sharing it with family and friends, we have had so many people who weren't even at the wedding praise Henry's work and say they feel as though they shared our day with us. Not only is Henry incredibly talented, he is a genuinely kind and caring individual who has given us the opportunity to relive the perfect day for the rest of our lives. We would recommend Henry to anyone getting married, he's the perfect addition to any wedding.

  I absolutely recommend Henry to anyone looking for a great videographer. My husband and I found out about Henry through our photographer, and we are so glad we did! His films are stunning and when he sent us our highlight video, we got to relive our day in the best way possible. We found ourselves laughing, crying, and smiling the whole time - Henry captured our day perfectly and the video represents us and our families so well. On the day of the wedding, Henry and his crew were fantastic. They blend in and go unnoticed and capture every moment so wonderfully. His videos are truly a work of art and worth every penny.

  We frantically found Henry 3 weeks before our wedding and we are SO thankful that we did! He is so personable, just a great guy to have around on your wedding day. Not to mention the feature film he made for us is the most incredible thing I've ever seen. He captured every emotion of our wedding day...happiness, excitement, nervousness, passion, laughing, crying, and, most of all, love. He captured the fun moments, special moments, intimate moments, you name it. And most of the time I didn't even realize he was around to film it all. I don't have the words to express how talented Henry and his crew are..he created the perfect film, a film that will forever remind my husband and I of exactly how we felt that day.
  
  I highly recommend Henry for any wedding!

  Henry Wu is AMAZING! When I was looking for a videographer, I only wanted someone to film my ceremony. Henry was the only person willing to only film the ceremony without me paying for the full day package. From the get go, he was professional, personable, and super laid back. I knew we were in for amazingness ( I eventually changed my mind and had him film the whole day). I had probably seen every one of his videos before my wedding, so I thought I knew what I was going to expect, but when I got my highlight video, we were blown away! The fact that he was able to capture the emotion and meaning of our wedding day in a 3 minute video was incredible. The video quality alone is top notch ( many people pointed this out), and he makes each video personal to each couple he films. It really bothers me when I see a video with a couple being all lovey dovey and there's some romantic song in the background. Totally fine, if that's your style, but I knew I didn't want that. I wanted a video that was personal to my husband and I, and Henry went above and beyond. Our ceremony and reception video is absolutely incredible. I love that Henry put a mic on my husband, because you can hear our little conversations we had during the ceremony. It brought us back to that day and even brought to light things we said that we didn't remember! :) Henry is the best of the best. I'm so glad I chose him to film our special day, and I will cherish these videos and be thankful to Henry for the rest of my life.

  If I could have Henry document every major event in my life, I would. The entire journey, leading up to the wedding, the day of the wedding, and watching the finished product...I could not have been more lucky to have chosen Henry to help me. He was extremely accommodating during the planning process. Our work schedules are inconsistent, but Henry was always willing and met with us past working hours. Our wedding day was packed with events, from the tea ceremony, the door games, and the actual wedding itself. Henry captured every single detail, and things I don't remember happening. Watching the finished short film a few months later made me bawl my eyes out, because I felt like I was reliving the actual day and moment my husband and I exchanged our vows. Thank you, Henry, for everything! Your talent cannot be expressed in words, and Ktrice and I are so blessed to have had you document our special day!

  We researched several different videographers in Chicago, IL, and we decided to go with HWu Studios because of their professionalism, efficiency, and amazing creative process. We chose them knowing that they are expects in the area of a documentary style video.The initial conversation was brief and thorough; we trusted Henry to do his thing and make magic out of the ordinary. Overall, a great experience and amazing video of our wedding! I'd definitely refer HWu Studios to my friends.

  Henry was an absolutely amazing videographer. He knew exactly what we wanted, and while he was filming, we could barely tell he was there filming us. He caught so many of the personal and intimate moments that we would have forgotten had we not asked him to film our wedding. All of our friends who watched our video said they were bawling by the end of it and said that Henry caught the essence of our personalities and the love we have for each other. He was even flexible with us to make our highlight video a bit early in order for us to share with my grandmother who was unable to come to the wedding due to an illness. Thank you so much Henry!

  When Chad and I had only a few weeks to pull together our wedding in September of 2014, one of the most important things was capturing the day on video. Chad was terminally ill, and losing his battle with cancer. Henry found out about our wedding and volunteered, of his own time and expense, to video the ceremony. He showed up that day, was professional and kind and we were so greatful. I didn't know anything about his work at the time, but was happy to have someone capture the ceremony. The best surprise came when he sent us the final edited video. It was beautiful, creative, thoughtful compilation that captured the spirit of the day, more than photos or words could translate. We watched it over and over, our friends and family as well. It was that good. Henry shared with us the gift of his talent for film making, his ability to capture the feeling of the day, and the final product was a work of art. Thank you Henry. I highly recommed Henry for any event- you are getting someone with talent and that will take the time to "tune into" the vibe for your big day. We were so happy with his work that we used him to film another event for us.

  Full disclosure: Henry is an acquaintance of mine prior to me hiring him as our videographer. I also worked as a wedding photographer for a couple years and have worked with many different videographers including Henry/HWu Studios.
  
  Looking at different videographers and all their offerings and eventually choosing HWu studios was not a simple task. In the end, we loved the style of Henry's films and loved the creativity in his productions. I would recommend you watch through a few of the videos on his blog and you'll really feel like you're experiencing the day for yourself. Even the wedding of a couple of strangers has the power to evoke emotions and that was truly powerful. He has the talent and skill to do just that and that's the one thing we loved.
  
  The day of the wedding and leading up to the wedding were seamless - schedules were sent out and Henry showed up on time. I noticed how Henry went unnoticed through the day and loved that he didn't disturb the ceremony or reception like some videographers have a tendency to do. I also received good feedback from the church's audio team and our DJ that Henry was a pleasure to work with in terms of syncing audio, timing, etc. All in all, a pleasure to have as our videographer.
  
  The moments that Henry captured really help us to relive the day and the 3 minute highlight video that Henry blogged has been played countless times and shared with family and friends across the globe. Highly recommended!

  Henry is amazing! He was great in getting to know us and our story before the wedding so he could capture the essence of who we are as a couple. He is professional, kind, and worked well with my bridal party. The actual video is AMAZING and he is truly an artist. Thanks so much Henry!

  Henry was awesome from the beginning to the end. He was responsive and responsible. I however, was not so much. 2 weeks before the wedding, my wife and I were still deciding if we would hire a videographer (based on our budget). After we gave Henry the go though, he flew bought a ticket and flew to Virginia.
  
  Hire him.
  
  If its quality you are concerned with, Hire him. Hope this can a little credibility to his review, I'm a photographer, so I'm pretty picky with my visuals :)
