I was getting 2–3k videographer quotes and honestly thought I’d have zero wedding footage… UNTIL I stumbled across this company. Affordable, simple, and truly so special. I now have memories of my parents, grandparents, and friends that I’ll treasure forever. I almost tried to DIY the whole thing, but realistically editing my own wedding footage would’ve taken me until our first anniversary. They made everything fun and effortless. Thank you SO much!

My name is Bailey O'Neal -- I am the owner + videographer of Avant-Garde Videography located in the Chicagoland area, and I love making videos! I love going places with my camera and enjoy capturing the content around me. I love starting a new project, and having an open opportunity to be creative and original. And finally, I love making a product that can be used as a keepsake to help relive and remember special times.

Awarded Best of Zola
Bailey is a true artist! Our wedding video is something we were very nervous about. We even considered not hiring a videographer because we were so worried about feeling uncomfortable on camera! Bailey moved about our wedding day capturing every important moment completely undetected, and I mean that in the best way possible! We didn't even realize in the moment that we were being filmed. She captured the most meaningful, genuine moments of our day and after seeing the final product, we can't even imagine not having this video to cherish for the rest of our lives. At our reception we had an audio guest book that provided us with a bunch of audio from our loved ones. We gave Bailey the huge task of adding some of that audio to our final video. We were completely blown away by how she mixed the audio from our friends and family with the other audio and video from the day! We now have a beautiful highlight reel that we can show to friends and family, we have an edited video of our vows with multiple angles, we have all of the toasts in an edited video, and, one of our favorite things about what Bailey offers with her videography packages, we have all of the raw, unedited footage so we don't forget a single moment of the day. Bailey is caring, flexible, professional, and has an unmatched talent for the art of videography!

They were very upfront about their affordable pricing, which was a big factor in our decision. On the day of the wedding, the videographers were professional, discreet, and captured all the special moments we wanted to remember.

I’m Victor, a Chicago wedding photographer and filmmaker who understands how quickly the day moves. Having experienced weddings both behind the camera and as a groom, I guide couples with a calm, intentional approach so they can stay present and fully experience their day while their story is preserved authentically. I serve couples across Illinois, Wisconsin, Indiana, and destinations worldwide.

We had a wonderful destination wedding, and choosing Visil Photography turned out to be one of our best decisions. From the start, Victor helped us plan the timeline, ensuring the day felt smooth and unhurried. That really made a big difference. On the wedding day, it was never overwhelming or like a photo & video shoot, which was a huge relief for us. He guided us gently when needed but mostly kept things relaxed so we could just enjoy each other and soak in the moment. The videos and photos turned out absolutely stunning, and what surprised us the most was getting some lovely teasers just days after the wedding. Rewatching these amazing shots now feels like reliving the entire day exactly as it happened. I strongly recommend.

I became indulged in the story-telling of my wedding couples. Being surrounded by the excitement, sometimes nervous couples, and their loving families and friends made the filming such a rush. Then to have the honor to edit a film where their personalities and love shine through is the greatest privilege. I want to take them on a journey back in time to the most epic day where they laugh and cry with all their family and friends. I make films that last the ages. I love to think about how my couples might show their kids or even grandkids someday.

Trevor and his team are some of the best in the business in central IL! I have had the pleasure of working with them at weddings. They are professional, hardworking and a great asset to anyone's big day!

A fun, candid alternative to traditional wedding videography. Your favorite people capture the laughs, happy tears, behind-the-scenes moments, and dance floor chaos on easy-to-use camcorders, and we turn it all into the wedding home movie you’ll watch for years to come. Add a nostalgic touch with our 35mm camera rentals — perfect for candid guest photos, behind-the-scenes moments, and flash-filled memories that feel straight out of a family photo album.

We worked with YouFilm for our Las Vegas elopement and working with them was such a joy! It was such an easy process, and they were responsive and kind from start to finish. We received the camcorders quickly, and they came with great instructions on how to operate them and how the YouFilm process works. Our friends filmed the whole day, and we packed up the camcorders and sent them back to YouFilm. They also provided a link for us to upload any footage people might have taken on their phones, to supplement the camcorder video. The wedding video we got back from YouFilm is so special, I feel like it really captures the joy and silliness of the day. The camcorder footage gives the whole day a dreamy, nostalgic feel, and they did such a beautiful job editing and curating footage that really feels like us. They even included a social media edit, which was set to the music of our own Elvis officiant! Absolutely loved working with YouFilm, can't recommend them highly enough.

Paul Hairston is an award winning and nation-wide wedding, documentary and commercial filmmaker for over 13 years. He loves anything and everything about human storytelling and creating impact through the medium of film. He strives to capture your special day with earnestness, trust and top shelf visuals. Throughout his career he has worked to blend vérité filmmaking with a production value those stories and emotions deserve, while never getting in your way. Providing painterly and elegant coverage with an unobtrusive but attentive presence that documents every unique detail is Paul’s goal with every film.

We had such an excellent experience with Paul on our wedding day! He was so communicative leading up to the day, as well as the actual wedding day. He was friendly, professional, punctual and worked so well alongside our photographer for the day, filming all of the lovely moments we may have otherwise missed (dance floor, cocktail hour, etc). He also filmed our first look, which was one of the moments that I most wanted to have on film, and made it such a fun experience. We watch our video every year on our wedding anniversary (it's been almost 13 years!), and we look back so fondly on that day because of the sweet moments that Paul captured - and have also shown it to our kids, who love to watch it over and over again. We highly recommend Paul to also capture your wedding day!
