    BEST wedding videographers in Chicago!

    We could not have asked for better people to spend our wedding day with than Jesse and John - they were prompt, brought great energy & captured the true vibe of the day without anything feeling forced. Our teaser video came within a week as was beautifully edited - they took our initial vision & made it even better! 11/10 recommend working with Old North Film Co :)

    Amazing!

    Old North Film Company was incredible... we worked with Caleb and Matt and they were both so kind, helpful, insightful, and DEDICATED! Matt was working all the angles, I felt like I was on the set of a James Cameron Film. They were also great team players... I have heard (and seen) horror stories of photographers and videographers who haven't worked together before, not collaborating well the day of. Matt was incredibly respectful to our photographer and truly did collaborate with her to make sure we got everything on our wish list.
    I cannot recommend them enough... PLEASE consider Old North for your perfect day!

    Hire them!

    We absolutely loved our experience with Old North Film Company. At first I was hesitant on whether or not we wanted a videographer, but I am SO glad we decided to. From start to finish and everything in between was exceptionally fabulous. Alex was very communicative and thoroughly answered my hundreds of questions before booking. Matt and team were such a pleasure working with leading up to our wedding, the wedding day itself, and afterwards. Matt and team delivered the MOST PERFECT video that we will now cherish forever. If you're considering a videographer, DO IT and hire Old North Film Company because they will exceed your expectations. Highly recommend!!

    Thank you Old North!

    We absolutely loved our experience working with Old North!! They were down to earth and a ton of fun. While filming, you did not even notice they were there. We could not love our video more - the emotion and joy was PERFECTLY captured. Many happy tears have been shed while watching, and the pure joy and emotion of the day is evident! We would absolutely recommend Old North to anyone and everyone in need of a fantastic video team!

    Outstanding experience

    My husband Charlie and I booked Old North Film Company for our wedding in downtown Chicago in late April of 2022. They were a pleasure to work with and we are blown away by our wedding video!!

    Caleb was the lead videographer on our big day - he was super friendly, laid back and had a good sense of humor. He made us both feel comfortable right away. Even when we spoke to him on the phone a few weeks beforehand, we could tell we were in good hands with someone who has creative vision. Also, at our reception we were running behind and our band got started a half hour late - Caleb even stayed later to make sure he captured some of the dancing. What amazing customer service! We can't thank him enough.

    We also communicated with Alex and David on some of the logistics stuff - they were easy to work with and made the process as simple as possible.

    Finally, the video itself is everything we could have dreamed of and more! My husband and I work in TV so we were really picky about our videographer as we both have training in production/film. The shots were beautiful, well composed, captured the moment, and the editing tied it all together, seamlessly weaving in speeches and music. You need to book Old North Film Company now - you won't be disappointed!

    Fairy Tale Wedding Captured!

    Alex from Old North Film Company was very easy to work with. I initially planned a wedding at a venue and had to unexpectedly change my location to my house. Alex was very flexible, approachable, courteous and did a wonderful job. She promptly finished the video editing and the short film within a few days and made it available for me. It captured all the magical moments. We also used the live ceremony feed option, which my family and friends appreciated and viewed who could not attend. They were very affordable to use as well. We appreciate them making lasting memories for us and making the experience memorable. I highly recommend them!

    Unbelievably magical and thoughtful work!

    Old North Film Company was recommended to me by my floral and wedding designer. I trusted their opinion, and boy did we hit the jackpot! We were looking for high quality at a reasonable price, and we found that and SO much more with them. They are responsive, they are personable, they take the time to understand what's important to you, they were punctual, very professional, and very kind and light-hearted. They captured EVERY important moment. The finished product is better than anything we could've DREAMED of, and I'm not always the easiest audience! It is so creative, so thoughtful, so special. We still tear up every time we watch our video! I would recommend them to anyone and would use them again and again.

    Nice guys, easy to work with GREAT RESULTS

    Old North have cinematic Wedding Videos down-pat. They are really good communicators, capture the feel and emotion, feature the highlights and present a remarkable story of the magical event. The only thing I would suggest is hiring a stylist or good friend with a great eye to make sure you are presenting your best.

    Beautiful work!

    Alex and her team were incredible to work with. They created the most beautiful wedding video for us and captured all of the beautiful details of our day. Her team made my husband and I feel comfortable in front of the camera and were so professional. We couldn’t have asked for a better team to work with on our wedding day.

    Dream wedding video!!

    So happy that I stumbled across this company when searching for a videographer that creates highlight videos. We worked with Alex and she was amazing! She captured all the best moments and I could watch the video a thousand times over and each time I could cry feeling all the best emotions all over again! The video was everything I imagined it would be and Alex made my dreams come true with what I was looking for. I would highly recommend going with this company for your wedding video! So worth it! Very professional, affordable, and amazing quality!

    Dream videographer!

    We lost our original videographers when we had to postpone our wedding due to the pandemic. It turned out to be a blessing in disguise because Paige and Lara captured our wedding day to perfection! There were so easy to work with and brought our vision to life!! I will truly treasure our wedding video forever!!

    10/10 would recommend

    Documenting our special day was top of mind during our wedding planning process. We left no stone unturned as we searched for the perfect wedding videographer to capture all of the unforgettable moments. I’m happy to say that we made the perfect choice. There is truly no substitute for Old North Film Company when it comes to promptness, professionalism, and a stellar final product. The process with Alex was such a joy from start to finish. Her communication, direction, and final edit were exceptional and we could not have asked for a better outcome. I would recommend Old North to anyone looking for a wonderful videographer experience. Best decision ever.

    More Than Expected

    When it came to choosing a videographer we were so out of our element. We wanted someone to capture the day exactly how we remembered it. My husband and I are so awkward in front of the camera so we were especially nervous on how our video was going to turn out. FORGET THAT. Lara was amazing. Legit never asked us to do anything awkward or uncomfortable. The video was exactly what we remembered our day to be and more. Easiest recommendation for vendor by far!

    Amazing videographers!

    We had a great experience with Old North Film. They were super responsive, helpful and friendly. We love our footage and couldn’t ask for anything better. You don’t even realize they are around filming you so it feels natural. We worked with Jono, and we would recommend him and this company to anyone!

    Obsessed!

    STOP RIGHT NOW and choose Old North as your videographer. Seriously!!!!! They are INCREDIBLE and genuinely care about you, and your day. You would never guess they have a bazillion other brides & grooms, because that's how personal the experience felt. We had Caleb and he was seriously such a blessing on our wedding day. He is SO responsive, pays so much attention to detail, has an amazing personality, and is SO kind. He listened to every note that I had, answered every question, made sure to address/fulfill everything we asked for, and genuinely made me feel like I was the only person he was working with. On top of that, our video is PERFECT. I am so beyond grateful we went with Old North and Caleb for our special day.

    The Old North Film dream team made our PERFECT video

    Our video was better than anything I could have ever imagined. Caleb’s professionalism, eye for creativity and passion for his art made him wonderful to work with. He was sociable and friendly and seamlessly fit into the hustle and bustle in our suites getting ready, but also made himself undetected at times to get truly candid shots. We never felt forced to do certain things and it showed in our video that our day was fun and we lived in the moment during all of it. It was important to me not to do things that we would never do naturally. Caleb and his assistant were able to capture all the great moments throughout the whole day without being intrusive or making us and our guests feel like we were being filmed. Our video shows such an out pouring of love; the rawness Old North was able to capture is unbelievable. Their editing was perfect too. They were able to splice together meaningful footage with fun party scenes and make it all flow together beautifully. The voice overs they chose to incorporate make it truly a masterpiece. I couldn’t have written a better script for the video if I tried. Old North Film is an amazing company to work with and I highly recommend Caleb. This was definitely one of the best allocations of our budget. Our video will always be close to our hearts and something we will proudly share with others for years to come.

    LOVE Old North Film Co!

    My husband Kevin and I knew that one of the most important decisions we would make is choosing a videographer to film our big day. I discovered Old North Film Co online. After watching a few of their videos, I knew their team was the right choice for us! The owner Tyler set up a call with me months prior to determine what we were looking for and make sure he understood us as a couple, which I really appreciated. Kevin, our lead videographer, then reached out two or so months before our wedding day. He was thorough, detailed, and very deliberate in running through our day of timeline with us via email and phone call. He and his associate videographer were so easy to work with day of, and so friendly! Our preview and feature films turned out AMAZING and we could not be more grateful to this team, and to Kevin for dedicating his day to capturing ours. Outstanding team of professionals who execute and take pride in their quality of work. Thank you so much!!!!

    A Huge Thanks to Old North & Alex

    We hired Old North Company to film our Wedding and Reception early in September 2019, and it was one of the best decisions we made! We were partnered with Alex Oeschel, who was a pure joy to work with. Alex and her team came bright and early in the morning, and filmed our whole day even with her partner. They were kind, courteous, and seems to have a great tandem going with each other filming different aspects of our wedding simultaneous. The cinematography, editing, and just overall flow of the cinematic short she created was absolutely amazing. I can’t begin to tell you how many times my wife and I have rewatched it; they captured the day so perfectly and beautifully. Also their filming of the events of the day was absolutely perfect. Know that in Old North’s hands, your special day will be captured perfectly. A huge thanks to Old North and Alex!

    Videographer was my most important selection

    The video footage of our wedding was one of the things that I was most looking forward to. We hit the jackpot with Old North working with Kevin. They had such an amazing vision as they shot the footage. They were never in the way but still somehow managed to get an upfront and unobstructed shot of every main event. They made us so at ease and were able to shift seamlessly with the flow of the day. The finished product was SUCH high quality and really represented us, the vibe of the day and is something we will watch again and again! We cannot recommend this team enough

    Our favorite souvenir from our wedding!

    We decided at the last minute to add a videographer for our wedding and thank goodness Old North was available.

    From the moment we started working with them- they were friendly, easy to work with, and just as excited as we were.

    Caleb was our videographer and we loved working with him the day of! He helped us feel natural in front of the camera yet also did not interrupt our day from actually happening. We never felt like we had an overwhelming amount of paparazzi all day :)

    When he sent the video, we had no idea what to expect but it blew our expectations out of the water! Not a dry eye in the house. It is our favorite thing to remind us of how the day really FELT rather than just how it looked in pictures.

    I could not recommend them more!

    Amazing team!

    We absolutely loved working with Old North Film Co. as our wedding videographer. Lara was our lead videographer and could not have been better to work with. She was kind, energetic, flexible and made the process fun. Both videographers were professional and on-time. We cannot wait to see their work!!

    Professional and Seamless Service

    Fantastic communication and service. Knowing the stress that hinders both the groom and bride on the wedding day, Old North Film Co. were quick and professional. They were always in the background - meticulous in capturing every moment without being in the face of the subjects.
    The final product was also better than we could have ever imagined! Alex made the shoots effortless (for awkward subjects such as ourselves).

    10/10 would definitely recommend!
