Vanilla Video answered every single question and was very prompt in responding. What impressed me the most was the quality of their work.

John Johnson of Captured Productions videotaped our daughter's wedding at Chicago's Carnivale in…read moreAugust of 2018. We found him to be professional, personable, prompt, and his services very reasonably priced. Mr. Johnson did an excellent job of communicating with us prior to the wedding to ensure that he met our needs and knew the order of events; communicating with the venue to arrange set-up location and times; and he discussed the ceremony order again prior to the beginning of the wedding in case we made changes (which we did), and he easily adapted to the changes. During the wedding and ceremony, he and his assistant were unobtrusive in getting a record of all the events, and everyone responded happily to him when asked to give advice or feedback on video . We're so glad we had him do the video because there were so many things that we missed seeing while we engaged with guests. We have watched the video numerous times since the wedding and it feels like that day all over again!!! Well done, Mr. Johnson!!!!

Wedding Video Review! Could not have nicer things to say…read moreabout WCP! My husband and I decided 4 months before our wedding to add video vendor services as most friends said it was their biggest regret to not have. WCP offers both photo and video packages but also different price points if you hire Sam/Katie or a Junior Associate. We loved that there was a value option for us to include video. Jamie was our Junior Associate. He came highly recommended by our wedding coordinator and I see why! His bubbly personality was a welcome addition day of to keep the energy high and make the documented moments feeling authentic and intentional. He went above and beyond with capturing drone footage and every wedding moment start to finish. After our big day, Sam edited our video to deliver a 2 minute teaser, 8 minute video capture, and provided us all raw footage. On top of this, they give couples the option to select songs. Our video was ready in about 6 weeks which was exactly in the middle of the proposed delivery timeline discussed. All email outreaches were responses to within 24 hours. They are simply good people to work with and were a great addition to our wedding vendor team! Tip: They offer a 5% discount with all cash payments.

The WCP Team is ABSOLUTELY incredible! They shot our wedding video which is literally a…read moremasterpiece. From the time we booked to the time we received the finished product everything was seamless and we could not be happier!
