Katie captured every last detail of the day. The photos are stunning and tell a story. She was such a pleasure to spend the day with, and she made sure to get everything without and disruption. We couldn’t be happier with the photos -

We would like to thank Sam and Katie for being our videographer team for our wedding! Sam did a great job keeping the energy going and was communicative throughout the day. We liked the ideas that you brought for the video led portions of the shoot, and appreciate how you gave the tip for Venuti’s patio as a great shoot location. The poses and even the before day chats on the phone and in person meeting helped us receive a product we were happy with. WCP also helped us after the shoot get copies of the video in our requested format, which was an awesome bonus. -

Katie and Sam were the absolute best. We got married on NYE in 2021 and they helped to make the night extra special. We had so many guests come up to us saying how awesome they both were, and we even had a friend book them for their own wedding later this year because they were so impressed with Sam's video coverage. They are sweet, understanding, flexible, and SO. TALENTED. We got our photos and video back incredibly quick and loved everything. 10/10 would recommend using them for your special day. -

Sam Sent on 08/13/2021Fantastic option for wedding photos and video
Great pictures, high level of professionalism and communication, and fun to work with! We hired Katie and her associate production crew for a photo & video combo. They did great work and we found the quality of the end product to be consistent with everything we saw online. If you are in the Chicagoland area, you should definitely consider working with this business. -

This is going to be a long BUT WORTHY review because my husband and I couldn’t leave any detail about Windy City left out! We booked Windy City Productions to use as our wedding videographers after seeing their fabulous work at my cousins wedding. After having our first phone call about wedding details, timeline, ideas and much more, I knew we were in great hands because Sam was so helpful and took a lot of stress off of our shoulders. Fast forward to our wedding day.... we could not have been more blown away by Sam and Windy City Productions. From the beginning of the day to the very end they were a blast to work with. They made everything easy and fun and were able to handle our very big and obnoxious bridal party. Our absolute favorite thing about the day was the little video (I call it a sneak peek) they put together for us during our wedding reception. We could not believe the talent behind this video!! It had clips from the whole day in it and they were able to put this together before the night even ended! The video had all of our guests in happy tears. And now, after receiving our final wedding video, we haven’t been able to turn it off! We’ve watched it 20 times and each time we love it more and more! We’ve had many, many people asking about Windy City Productions after seeing them at our wedding and so many compliments on them and their work. We will be recommending them to everyone and anyone! -

I truly can't say enough great things about WCP! After doing a TON of research, reaching out to a bunch of places, and reviewing endless galleries, we hired Katie and Sam to shoot at our wedding. We could not be happier with not only the results, but the care, service, and kindness that came along as well!
Katie was fantastic through the entire process. Always kept me updated, and was more than patient with all my questions - even setting up time for us to meet in person (pre COVID) and over the phone when needed to make sure I felt at ease. From the day I met her, I already knew that we were going to choose them.
Katie and Sam literally felt like family by the end of this process. Not only are they just genuine people, they are CHAMPS at what they do - I would put them against any other company and bet you they're would be absolutely no comparison. They are passionate about what they do, and who would have thought smiling for so many pictures could be SO FUN!
They knew exactly what to say to get perfect pictures - no fake laughing here, it was all genuine and they could not have captured our day any more perfectly. I'm getting emotional writing this, reflecting back a few weeks to our big day and how incredible Katie and Sam were. My family loved them, and they completely shocked us with a video teaser toward the end of the night - WHO DOES THAT?! Same day?!? Absolutely incredible - we are still getting compliments about that!!
The finished product was ready in 2 weeks.. Yes, 14 days!!! All of our fully edited pictures, and am almost 10 minute video, along with all our raw footage. Everything was way above our expectations, and it's impossible to pick favorite pictures!
If you're on the fence, do it. Spend the money, make the investment. You wont regret it! There is only one shot at getting the pictures that capture your special day, and if you want it done right you HAVE to go with Katie and Sam at WCP! -

Leandra B. Sent on 04/17/2020Excellent work and fun team!
Katie and Sam were absolutely wonderful to work with and so kind! They shot our wedding video in Puerto Rico and were such a blast. Their approach is very fun and energetic. As two people who don’t typically like to be in front of the camera, Sam made us feel incredibly comfortable and at ease. They have a great eye and were able to capture many special moments. We were so impressed with how fast the turnaround time was for our sneak-peak video. The pair had it back to us within just a couple days! We can’t recommend Windy City Productions enough.
Thank you so much, Katie and Sam! -

Katie and Sam were so kind and made the experience so effortless before and during our wedding day in Costa Rica. We had a small wedding and they were great at making everyone feel comfortable and act natural throughout the day. I'm so grateful and it was so special to have our wedding day recorded in such a beautiful and meaningful way. Thank you Katie and Sam! -

Kirsten J. Sent on 04/30/2020Windy City Production is amazing !
Sam and Katie are so kind, caring and patient. First of all Katie and Sam are genuinely good people who truly care about their clients, we instantly gained a friendship across the country just through talking to Katie and Sam throughout our day during and between all the amazing shots they captured. Both Sam and Katie display such a calming presence that made my husband and I so relaxed and comfortable during hours of photos and video footage being captured. Katie told me something very important on my wedding day that I will never forget for the rest of my life. She said “don’t be sorry, this is your day! ”--- after I apologized for the hundredth time that day for something silly, like needing another minute to collect myself before leaving the hotel room for my soon-to- be husband to see me for the very first time as his soon-to-be wife. We stumbled upon Sam and Katie by chance and like Katie said in our original email “ I’m so happy the stars aligned and we will be able to film your big day in the beautiful country of Costa Rica”. Meeting Sam and Katie truly reminded me of the saying my husband and I live by- “Everything happens for a reason”. Just a few short hours before hearing from Katie, I was devastated that we would not be able to have a film, as prior plans fell through and suddenly I was introduced to Katie through email just 3 short weeks before our wedding and was reminded that in fact everything does happen for a reason and that after all the worry, stress and months of back and forth decision making, a video of our big day was in fact in our future. Katie reassured me that they would be able to capture our big day and meet us in the beautiful country of Costa Rica in just a few short weeks. I knew just from her emails I couldn’t wait to work with her and Sam. Fast forward to our days as Mr. & Mrs. The minute we landed in Philadelphia from our amazing wedding in Costa Rica my phone dinged I had a new email, it was from Katie, our video was edited and published on YouTube. As I stumbled off the plane carrying way too much luggage strapped to every part of my body, I soon too had tears running down my cheeks as I watched our wedding video so creatively captured and pieced together by Sam and Katie! Their work is truly so unique and beautiful! The video is nothing short of amazing and has allowed us to reflect back on the best day of our lives. Katie and Sam made all the shots they took so easy to capture by allowing the shots to be captured naturally with simple suggestions. Save yourself the worry of deciding what videographer or photography company to go with and email Katie NOW to book! I promise you will not regret it ! Sam and Katie rock and made our big day even more memorable, special and magical than it already was! We could never thank you enough Sam & Katie, the moments you have captured will live on with us forever. Your both so inspiring, never change and keep up the beautiful work !
Windy City Production is amazing !

Katie and her team at Windy City Production did our photography and videography for our 200 person wedding. I cannot recommend them enough- every detail was captured beautifully. Katie is so friendly and personable, she makes you feel like a close friend. She met with us to find out our wedding vision, was able to help us out with a schedule and plan of action for the day of (I'm not someone who knows a lot about weddings or how things should go) and she and her team executed that plan totally. The team was everywhere to capture every detail, but also not obtrusive. Looking at all of our photos, there is not one detail that was missed. Every guest raved about how excellent our photographers were. AND THE VIDEO. The most perfect thing. We have access to all the raw video from our wedding but they also edited a cinematic version complete with my mother-in-law's reading during our ceremony as part of the audio. Amazing, amazing, amazing. So happy!!! -

Sam completely blew us away! He just does his job so well. He MAKES moments happen by pulling you aside with not only your groom but also with all the other behind-the-scenes people like your mom, your sister, etc. He really gets you to come back to the moment and BE PRESENT with those around you amidst the chaos. Like everyone says, your wedding day is a blur and I cannot tell you how thankful I am for what he did. Those are the moments I remember. And, of course, his day-of edit was priceless. I felt like our entire reception was crying (even some of my husband's ex-rugby teammates!!!). Our guests continued to talk about the video into the next day and a week later I am still getting texts asking when I will be able to share it. It was THAT good, I'm telling you...(and it was not because we do well in front of a camera - quite the opposite actually)! I would recommend Sam whole-heartedly and without reservation. Thank you so much, Sam!
