We approach weddings as a creative production rather than a simple shoot. Every project begins with intentional pre-planning, including wardrobe review, hair and makeup alignment, storyboarding, and timeline collaboration so the day has structure without feeling staged. Our team works across both photo and video, with drone coverage and content creation built into the process, allowing us to capture real moments efficiently while delivering cohesive, thoughtfully crafted media.

I've had the pleasure of working alongside the Ageless Media team on multiple weddings, and they are consistently a joy to collaborate with. Their communication style is prompt, professional, and friendly, which helps make the planning process seamless. The quality of their work is truly top-notch - they bring a creative, luxury approach that captures the magic of the day. Their pre-production planning and attention to styling really sets the tone, and nothing ever feels rushed or chaotic on site. As a fellow vendor, I appreciate how thoughtful and collaborative their process is. The end result is consistently fantastic videography that I'm proud to recommend.

Hey there! I'm Fernando Ávila. I founded Ellyce Wedding Films while my wife and I were planning our wedding in 2019. By this point, I had already accumulated 15+ years of experience shooting wedding videos and my wife felt I could be a breath of fresh air for couples in a highly saturated market. She encouraged me and I founded the company in 2020. Because love inspires, love changes everything, I named my company after my love, Ebony Ellyce Ávila.

Ellyce Wedding Films was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding videography. From the very beginning, Fernando’s communication was clear, concise and professional, putting us at ease throughout the process. The quality of his work was truly amazing - delivered the final video in a timely manner and went above and beyond by providing us with all of the extra raw footage and clips neatly organized. The team at Ellyce Wedding Films contributed so much to making our special day feel even more special. We had a really great experience overall and would highly recommend them to any other couples planning their wedding.

We used Eivan's for both engagement photos and our wedding and couldn't be happier. They are wonderful about asking for your input and making sure you are truly happy with what you are getting. The photographers and videographers are the perfect mixture of professional and casual/friendly so that you are comfortable. We loved Rachael H for engagement photos, and Heather G (photo) and Dmytro L (video) for our wedding. They also actually care about you and the event itself, starting with asking you about your story. We got both a photographer, videographer, and engagement photos for a great bundle price, which was so helpful. Customer service is also fantastic about answering questions thoroughly and quickly. After booking and after the events, they send you information about what to expect, etc. I did quite a but of research into photography companies, and I would highly highly recommend Eivan's!

Shutter and Sound

  • Cinematic style
  • Starts at $2,800
  • Serves Essex, IL

Hi! Courtney here (that's me on the left!). Shutter and Sound is the brainchild of renowned wedding videographer Ryan Geldermann. Ryan began his wedding videography career in 2010 in Los Angeles and quickly became recognized as one of the top videographers in the U.S.. After relocating to DC and still receiving countless inquiries from all corners of the country, Ryan decided to recruit and train a few talented friends so he could continue offering the quality wedding videography he’s known for in SoCal and eventually over 10 cities. Shutter and Sound is a very small group of filmmakers dedicated to turning your big day into a work of art.

Awarded Best of Zola
We had an exceptional experience with Shutter and Sound. Our photographer Joanna and lead videographer Michael—along with a second videographer—worked seamlessly as a team and were collaborative, professional, and incredibly adaptable when timing got tight. We didn’t have a coordinator or planner, and they fully stepped up: organizing people, calling the shots when needed, keeping everything on schedule, and making the day feel calm and put together while still filming and photographing. They treated everyone with genuine respect, helped with anything we needed (even holding our dogs’ leashes for group photos), and stayed focused and positive through a very long day—including hiking to our site. We truly could not have pulled off this wedding without them. Their work ethic, skill, and presence made it the best day of our lives.

Any talented wedding videographer can create a 5-minute cinematic wedding film of your wedding but there's so much more to a wedding day than that. That is the most distinguishing feature about my work. While, I craft my videos around the love you share, the fun you have when it's just the two of you as well as the celebration with your family/guests is what makes each story so unique. So, as you'll notice in the examples, no two wedding videos are the same. I customize each wedding video I create to fit the couple I'm working with as well as the flow of the day, which will allow you to relive your day the way that it actually happened!
