Julian was the videographer on our wedding day and he was so accommodating, lovely to interact with, calming and professional. Worked seamlessly with our photographer team. Thank you! read more

A videographer arrived and recorded the contracted portion of our wedding ceremony and reception. Not the most professional appearance but got the job done. That was where the positives stopped. The contract allows 90 days after the wedding for the video to be completed. We are now well over 100 days with no response to multiple emails and calls. Unfortunately we may end up with no wedding video and a trip to small claims court in an attempt to get our money back. Avoid at all costs. read more

Probably the best deal you will get during your wedding planning. Amazing work for a shocking low price. Such a friendly comp. to work with. Probably the easiest process as well. Guy was very clear very knowledgeable and helpful with the booking process. very straight forward no extra add on or shenanigans. They just give you what you asked for. We had Christian as our videographer, didn't even know he was there, very professional, and super nice guy. Thanks so much for everything! read more

My husband and I just received our wedding DVD and it is wonderful. Our Wedding movie did a great job. Being a bride and/or a groom you do not get to see how the bridal party enters the wedding or the reception, our videographer did a great job capturing them. Guy was a little slow to respond to my emails and phone calls, but the end results more than made up for it. I believe Devin was our videographer, he was real polite, the wireless mic on my husband worked out well and you can hear our vows loud and clear. They are very reasonable priced and our DVD arrived within 8 weeks, as promised. Thank you!!!! read more

Our Wedding Movie - Videographers Near Me - Schaumburg, Illinois

Our Wedding Movie was the perfect choice for our wedding. We knew we wanted a videographer, but didn't want to spend $2k+. We were already on a tight budget and had limited resources for an extra vendor. I stumbled upon OWM, saw they were reasonably priced and had add-on's to accommodate all our needs. We chose the silver package and added the highlight reel, an additional hour, and 2 physical discs. The cost of all these items together was a fraction of what other companies were charging. The owner Guy was easy to communicate with - I did have to follow up on a few emails during the time we signed our contract to the days before our wedding, but I didn't mind because I prefer to be on top of things and had to do the same with other vendors. Guy also helped us out when our photographer failed to capture images for us. It meant a lot to me and my husband that Guy graciously offered his help and eased our after wedding stress. Christian was our videographer for our wedding day and was so great to work with! He arrived early, was attentive and captured so many beautiful moments of our day. He was very kind and professional. He stayed until our contracted end time and made sure to find me on the dance floor to let me know he was taking off rather than just disappearing. It was great to work with him! Overall, if you are on a budget and want a simple, well constructed video to capture your day, go with Our Wedding Movie. They will not disappoint! read more

We were originally going to forego the videographer, assuming pictures and friend's videos would be sufficient, but instead called "Our Wedding Movie" as a last minute add on. I'm glad we did because I really wanted and received a basic copy of the ceremony and special moments throughout the night. While our videographer was pleasant and captured the main parts of the evening, Guy, the owner, made the whole process difficult and uneasy. The only time I received a quick, immediate response was when I input the initial inquiry and made the deposit. After that, he was nowhere to be found. I even had to HOUND HIM to make my final payment so I wouldn't default on the contract and lose my deposit. Just radio silence. No confirmation unless I asked for it multiple times. I'm not sure if it's because we did not get a platinum package, if he's just extremely busy and unorganized, or if it's because he's just apathetic, but I would not recommend this company based on the customer service alone. read more

My wife and I got married September 28, and had the videographer booked way ahead of time. Initially, everything was fine. We got our quote quickly and it was a great price. Between signing the contract and the wedding day, it was rather difficult to get a response from them. Around 8 weeks after our wedding, I mailed Guy to check on the progress of our wedding video. The response I received seemed like I was an inconvenience to him, and simply stated that my contract says 90 days - I understand that, however I don't feel that asking for a progress update is too much to ask. On the night of our wedding, our videographer (Tobias I believe) attempted to leave 45 minutes early. He came to us and asked if there's anything else we needed before he left, despite this being significantly before he was supposed to leave, with the bouquet toss having not even been done yet. I was forced to grab my iPhone and search through my emails to prove to him that I had scheduled him to be there until 10pm. I find this disgraceful that something so simple was not communicated effectively by the company, resulting in unnecessary stress on my wedding day. We have just received our finished video. Firstly, I must admit it meets what you would expect. The visual quality isn't fantastic, quite pixely at some points, and sound quality is awful (can't hear either of our vows). I understand this is partly due to the church restricting the videographers positioning, and the fact that the company charge such a small fee. Overall, if you want a high quality video memory of your day, go find another videographer. If you simply want a video to send to family and friends that couldn't make it and are on a budget, this is a decent option. Quite simply you get what you pay for quality wise. I would only recommend using this company if your budget is very limited. If I could go back, I would spend the extra $ for a better quality video and better service read more

Unbeatable prices but the microphones during the ceremony they used for video cut out even though they were tested before the ceremony started.... my husband made his vows off the top of his head so you can see how this can be upsetting. However they did compensate me in the end as it states they would in the contract if there were any technical issues on their end. Per contract you will receive your video in 90 days... they waited all the way until almost 8pm on day 90 to send me the link to download my video.... You have to pay an additional fee for a physical copy. Friendly to work with, make sure you put any special requests in ahead of time. read more

I cannot speak more highly about Our Wedding Movie. On our wedding day, unfortunately, our hired photographer did not show up, or her assistant photographer. As you can imagine, our day of joy quickly turned to anger and disappointment. However, Our Wedding Movie more than made up for the lack of a photographer. We were worried that priceless moments wouldn't be captured because of no photographer, but Vick, our videographer from Our Wedding Movie, more than stepped up. Our replacement photographer would not be able to make it until after the ceremony, but Vick took charge and led the way and helped organize everything for our wedding guests who volunteered to take photos. We ordered the package that included two Blu-rays. I could not be more blown away by the packaging, the presentation, and the overall quality of the Blu-rays. I have seen other friends' wedding videos, and they do not even compare to ours in those areas. I have shown this video to a few friends, and they were blown away by it. Vick, as well as Our Wedding Movie, did an absolutely tremendous job capturing our special day, and they really saved the day when we needed them. I cannot recommend this company more for your special day! read more

This company was referred to me by "the Knot". Well their judgment is not so good. First of all my contract stated that I had a Photographer/Videographer. The day of my wedding I asked the "Videographer" why he was only taking video and not any pictures. He proceeds to tell me he is only contracted to do video. I said absolutely not, who wants only a video I want pictures of my weddings well. The gentleman sees I'm furious so he then calls the owner and mind you it was the day of my wedding so what was I to do continue to argue and get no where and have no video or anything at all? Now it's almost 4 weeks later and I haven't received a response as to where my video is. I've called and left voicemails and emails and nothing! Very unprofessional. The camera guy was very nice he should find a better business partner. Because Guy Balita you need to do better! read more

Our Wedding Movie was probably one of my favorite wedding vendors! We were in a bind 2 weeks before our wedding as my originally booked videographer bailed on us and we contacted Guy and met with him not even 24 hours later. He was super responsive and willing to help us out with such late notice to him and his team. We are so pleased with our footage and have received many compliments on it from family and friends! They are very affordable and I love how we were able to build our own package to get everything we wanted without the extra cost of things we didn't care for. We would book them again in a heartbeat, thank you Guy and Jimmy! https://youtu.be/0QrN7BQkn6M read more

Amazing! Professional, friendly, helpful and the final product is perfect! I called Guy and he was so helpful and friendly and asked all the right questions so that we could decide what package was best for us, he was great to work with. The day of the wedding, Christian, our videographer arrived on time and was professional, friendly and great to work with. He did an excellent job and he made the day so easy and effortless, he captured all of our most wonderful moments of the day without being in the way like some videographers that I have seen at other weddings I have attended. I shopped around and the price points for the packages offered and for the quality of the product and service is unbeatable. If I could I would give this vendor 10 out of 10 stars. Excellent service and product! We love our wedding movie! I'm so happy I found this vendor, thank you Our Wedding Movie! read more

If I could rate 0/5 if I would. This company has been very unprofessional and has been dishonest. Our wedding occurred the week that COVID went live (March 21,2020)what originally intended to be a ceremony and reception of 200+ guests, turned into an intimate ceremony of 10 at our home. Due to the quick and unexpected occurrence we requested a refund for the services that we never rendered. Guy (the videographer/owner) agreed to such and stated that deposit was non refundable but would return remaining balance. After a year we received not even half of the refund and was told that we would receive the remainder within 3 months. I chose to be very reasonable due to the toil of the pandemic and the hardship most businesses occurred. As of this year it's been 2 years and I've yet to receive a refund. I've left messages and messages, emails and emails, just to be ignored. I'm now pursuing legal action for a due that is owed to me. I would not recommend this business due to the professionalism and dishonesty of the business. This company made the disappointment of not having my dream wedding even worst read more

Our wedding movie was an amazing company to work with. Guy was very responsive & professional! I also really enjoyed working with our photographer Anthony, he made me feel very comfortable on our wedding day and did a great job capturing our day. Excellent value for the money in comparison to anything else you can get in Chicago. I highly definitely recommend them! read more

We used Our Wedding Movie for our April 30th wedding. Admittedly we were late to the game in hiring a videographer (as in 3 weeks before the wedding!). When we contacted the company, Guy got back to us right away and said there was availability. After reviewing the website and other reviews we read we hired them. Vic was our videographer and he arrived at the venue about 2 hours before the ceremony. He went right to work scoping out the venue and setting up the stationary camera for the ceremony. He was able to capture some moments with the groomsmen before the ceremony and also myself and my bridesmaids while we were having some photos taken. After that, I can honestly say that I really did not see him, in a GOOD way. Meaning, he was so inconspicuous that we did not even notice he was there. We received our video this past weekend and we loved it! The final product was a beautiful video that captured all of the moments that I missed and then some. The video is about an hour and a half long and I watched it twice that night! My husband pulled off what I will call a "music debacle" by having the DJ cut the music just before I was to walk down the aisle and then had the members of a string quartet in the audience come up to play my processional song. Vic captured all of this but we neglected to communicate to Guy that this was part of the plan so it was omitted from our video. However, when we contacted Guy about it, he got back to us within just a couple of days, said he found the footage and the editor that it was a mishap. He is adding the footage to the video and sending us 2 new Blu-ray discs. Now that's service! I would highly recommend Our Wedding Video, and especially Vic, to anyone. Great customer service and a beautiful product! read more

My husband and I LOVE our wedding trailer and video. Guy was very professional and was a pleasure to work with! We are so happy we chose Our Wedding Movie as our videographer. read more

Amazing work!!!! Where should I start? We met with Guy a few months before for our daughter's Quinceanera. Guy was very professional and very straight forward. He explained every detailed and was very helpful. Kevin was our videographer and he was amazing. He was very professional and great to work with. I wouldn't change a thing. I would recommend "Our Wedding Movie" to anyone.. If you are looking for affordable prices and great quality Guy is your guy.. Thank you for making that day unforgettable. read more

We were so pleased with Our Wedding Movie! Julian was so great during the ceremony and the reception and got some wonderful shots. The company was so organized and answered emails right away and followed up after. I would strongly recommend! read more

We recently had Our Wedding Movie film our big day in May, and we're so happy we did! They're affordable, friendly, and professional. Julian was our videographer for the day, and he did a wonderful job. Now we can relive those special memories whenever we want! read more

I don't even know where to begin! I was originally not sure that I wanted to spend the money for videography but a lot of friends told me that I would regret it if I didn't. I shopped around for a while trying desperately to find a reasonably priced videographer that still produced awesome videos and boy did I find that and more. Julian and Amanda absolutely crushed our day and we are so in love with both productions. I have watched it at least 10 times and still cry. Your wedding day goes by in the blink of an eye and it's amazing to see all of the little things that you didn't originally catch. I will treasure these forever and can't wait to show them to our kids. From the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU to Our Wedding Movie (specifically Julian, Amanda, and Guy who were absolutely a pleasure to work with)! read more

Terrance from our wedding movie was amazing! He made the experience unforgettable and made all of us feel comfortable.We couldn't stop laughing! The finished product was amazing and my husband and I are thrilled and so happy we picked our wedding movie to capture the day! read more

Terrance from Our Wedding Movie was very professional and easy to work with. He was a fly on the wall capturing all the important aspects of our day, which was exactly what we were looking for. He always had a smile on his face and a cheerful demeanor. He captured all the right moments at my sister's wedding. Watching the video brought tears to my eyes and it was so nice to have these memories captured. I highly recommend Terrance from Our Wedding Movie for your next event! You will not regret it! https://ourweddingmovie.com/ read more

Our Wedding Movie was fantastic. We weren't sure we were going to go with a videographer but my husband's brother and sister in law said it was the best decision that they made. When meeting with our photographer he suggested Our Wedding Movie to us and after checking out their samples we were convinced this was something we should do.Their package prices are very reasonable and they allow for flexibility and lots of add ons if you choose to do so. Our videographer was "T" and he was amazing to work with! He was so much fun and smiling the whole time. He was running around the entire time and getting all kinds of angles and his creativity paid off because our video turned out better than I could've hoped for. It was so nice to be able to see the day through another person's eyes and to be honest as the bride the day was a blur so having this to be able to look back on is priceless. I love how they did the highlight video as well. It's nice to have a quick look back at the day instead of watching the whole video. read more

We used "Our Wedding Movie" for our videographer for our wedding. The finished product was beyond what we expected. We paid for the Gold package and were very satisfied with the end results. The person on location the day of our wedding was Christian and he was very friendly and easy to work with. The prices are very reasonable. The only reason I gave a 4/5 instead of 5/5 is because communication via email was not the greatest. Slow response time until the week before the wedding when we had a form to fill out for the videographer assistant to know where to go for the day and for the videographer, Guy, to know what music we wanted as background music. Phone calls are the best form of communication that I found. The DVD we received as the final product looked like a movie starring me and my husband. We are very happy with choosing Our Wedding Movie as the videographer for our special day. read more

Originally my wife and I were not going to have a videographer for our wedding in order to stay within our budget. Boy are we glad we changed our tune and found Our Wedding Movie! We were fortunate enough to work with Vic on our wedding day. He was very easy to work with and was able to capture all the important moments throughout the day without it feeling like someone is hovering over your shoulder. He was able to work perfectly in coordination with our photographers so they could all get the shots they needed without stepping on each other's toes. We recently received our full highlight reel and movie and are so so glad we ended up with a videographer. Having the ability to go back through and rewatch our wedding day through the lens of a guest allowed us to see our friends/family enjoying the day in a way that we could not have when we were Bride/Groom. I highly recommend using a videographer for your wedding and more specifically, Our Wedding Movie, to capture your special day. These films will be an amazing way to relive our wedding and continue to share memories with our families. read more

This place only gets two stars - one for the employees being nice and one for the video being decent. That being said, the lack of communication is AWFUL so zero stars for that. Our wedding was in July 2014. Guy was so pleasant/sincere over the phone so I didn't bother meeting him in person, and the pricing was great (I paid $1915 for their platinum package in advance). Our wedding weekend flew by with Friday night and entire Saturday all filmed by Guy, Vincent and their staff. They were so professional/nice and on time to all our events. In Dec 2014, we met with Guy to provide him some music. I asked him when we could expect to see a rough first draft and he said about 2 weeks. After me leaving lots of phone messages and emails with NO response whatsoever, I complained to Better Business Bureau mid-April 2015. In May 2015, we finally get a first draft in the mail. This is 11 months after my wedding and 5 months after meeting Guy. I sent an email right away with all the changes that I wanted to make for the final copy. Julia from this company responded by saying they would get back to me shortly. As you can guess, I sent umpteen more emails and left phone messages with NO response again. Finally, my last email to them was in March 2016 where I wrote about how this experience was so traumatizing to be begging for my videos that I paid for in full before our wedding weekend. In April 2016, (without any emails from them still), I finally get a package in the mail with all the DVDs!!! I was shocked but grateful to receive this! Also, I noticed that my Vimeo highlights from the wedding were posted Aug 2015 so they were working on my wedding videos but couldn't bother to keep me in the loop or provide any updates. I know that there are many positive reviews out there for this vendor (which is what convinced me to book them too!), so I suggest you read all the reviews (even the ones that Yelp marks not useful enough to currently recommend) and even BBB/Knot/Wedding Wire to make an informed decision. read more

After I searched far and wide for a videographer that fit in to our needs and budget I stumbled across Our Wedding Movie. What a gem! Guy was so great in the planning and on the day of. He was their at every important moment but not in the way at all. We haven't seen the video but if it is as good as the sample he sent us before booking we are in for a treat. He also has great rates, so other companies are charging up to $2000 for a video. We weren't looking for a Hollywood production but we wanted our day on video. He took a little longer then expected to produce the video but threw in some extras to make up for it. I would recommend this company to anyone! read more

Our Wedding Movie 5.0 /5.0 Wedding: 11/29/2014 Wedding Movie is outstanding! From the first emails of inquiry with Julia to the amazing finished wedding DVD - you will not find a finer company to film your wedding! Our daughter and son-in-law felt they could not afford such a luxury of a video of their wedding. How thrilled they were to find and then book Our Wedding Movie! We've all watched the amazing video that Our Wedding Movie created - multiple times. The flawless DVD is beautiful, complete with music and a cover that shows as a first run movie, Guy, the photographer is the best ever! It's hard to believe all the footage he was able to capture - everything important and then so much more! Our family will be forever grateful to Guy's gift of shooting our daughter's wedding and then the masterful arrangement he made into their wedding dream movie! You wont' find a better wedding videographer in the Chicagoland area and Wedding Movie is very fair in offering affordable packages. Trust me on this - book Wedding Movie today and hoping for you they're available! Oh - our daughter's video came in 92 or so days. Sure - go ahead and pay double, triple or more and receive your video in less time. Or be patient and receive a masterpiece from a small company that is passionate and love the work they do and are willing to share their gifts with you in their artful creation of a dream day wedding. read more

When doing your research on this merchant, dig deep! Don't fall for the recent good reviews, look at ALL of the reviews on the next page. He will tell you everything you want to hear when initially signing up. He'll tell you that he'll provide the draft and everything within 90 days. Keep in mind, he tells you this verbally, but does not put it on paper. I didn't see all the past reviews till I started having issues with this merchant. He does NOT answer phone calls or respond to emails. I had to file a chargeback in order to get his attention then he rushed the whole thing and sent it to me without even calling me or emailing me. This is your wedding, work with a reputable company and do deep research. You'll see that others have had these same issues when looking at the reviews on Yelp, BBB, Wedding Wire, and Google. You don't want to trust a merchant like this for such a special occasion. When he had sent the dvd/blue ray, the cases were all cracked and it was very unprofessional. Also one of the DVD's does not work and skips. At this point, I haven't heard from the merchant. read more

Day of wedding, they were fine. The follow up & having to beg for our video was very unprofessional. I have an email from the owner Guy stating they guarantee the video within 90 days but try to get it out sooner. I called him weeks after the 90 days & he blamed the delay on the holiday & said he would mail it that weekend. Weeks later I call him & no answer or return call. Finally I have my husband call too. We received the video with a post mark of the day before. We were repeatedly ignored & lied to. read more

The video was great, once we finally received it. My lower rating is a result of the customer service. Initially we told that we would receive the final product 90 days after the wedding. After 4 months, we had not received the video nor had we heard from Guy. My husband and I both called, left voice mails, and emailed over the course of about 2 weeks and received absolutely no response. I began to worry that we may never get to see our wedding footage and that we had paid a vendor that would not deliver. I then called Guy from my work phone line instead of my personal cell phone and surprisingly he answered the call. I had to threaten legal action to get a draft of the video. A week after we reviewed the draft, my husband contacted Guy and requested a minor change. Guy told my husband we'd receive the final product in a week. Fast forward to February 2016 and we still had no finished product. My husband had to contact Guy once again and we FINALLY received the final video roughly 8 months after our wedding. I understand that sometimes these things can take longer than expected, but we should have been notified and I shouldn't have had to go out of my way to get a product that we paid for in full. read more

My husband and I got Married Dec 21, 2013 and hired our wedding movie for our special day. Guy was very professional, on time and attentive to what we wanted. We received 1 blue ray dvd, and 2 regular dvds in a timely manner and couldn't be happier with the quality and artistic effect. as most couples, we were on a budget, and their price was just right. i highly recommend them. read more

Guy was very attentive leading up to my wedding day and he and Jimmy were very nice and professional. After the wedding I was told it would take a certain amount of time before I received the final product. That time came and went without a returned email or phone call. I was calling daily and emailing multiple times a week with no response. Very frustrating! We finally heard back from Guy and were told it would be shipped the next day. I didn't receive anything for another 2 weeks. The final product is absolutely beautiful and he did a great job but the overall communication and timeliness was horrible. Great prices and great product but if you like to be in contact with the company you are paying this company is not for you. read more

We loved worked with Our Wedding Movie on our special day. Jimmy was our videographer and he did a wonderful job getting all the shots and going with the flow of the whole day. He was very friendly and social and got along great with all the other vendors and guests. We received our wedding video right before out 2 month mark and it was perfect! It's a great way to always remember our special day. The final product came in an actual DVD case with pictures from our day on it. Also, we had an issue with one disc and it was solved very quickly. We are so happy with our experience and are so thankful to Guy for helping us with this part of our day! read more

My husband and I got married last year on August 28th. Guy was our videographer for our wedding day, and he did an amazing job! He was referred to us by my sister-in-law, and she loves her wedding video. Guy is friendly, fun, and very professional. I love how he records moments as they come. In other words, he doesn't tell you how or where to stand, pose, act, etc. I totally refer him to anyone! read more

I drove a hour to meet with this videographer hoping I wasn't wasting gas. Videography was not in the original budget. This was last minute decision. Our budget was already bursting at the seams. I didn't have a lot to spend on videography. In dealing with wedding vendors, I realized many are snobby, unprepared, or annoying to work with. I was pleasantly surprised in my consultation! It was definitely worth the drive. The company has a nice facility. He showed me and walked me through all of the equipment. He had all the options and samples right there at his desk. He was very clear and very pleasant in his explanations. He was patient and very thorough answering any questions I had. I felt very confidant with him immediately. Once I saw all of his work, I became excited! His work is amazingly professional and the DVD setup is very clean and perfect. I was shocked how affordable he is. Believe me he is worth a whole lot more than his prices. He is the ONLY vendor I booked on the spot. He had the best consultation of any other vendors I had met with. (venues, photographers, caterers, etc). In reading previous reviews, if I have to wait 4 months for an awesome edited movie and save THOUSANDS of dollars, I will take it. $3,000 for a wedding video with a different company of the same quality?....Pahhhlease I don't think so! read more

My husband and I got married in June of 2016 and we were super impressed with our experience with Our Wedding Movie! Our videographer (Vic) was kind and very good at his job. He also knew our photographer so that made for a fun dynamic and they worked very well together! We couldn't be happier with the video that we received after our wedding. It was 90 minutes long and captured all the moments we were hoping for, from special moments before everything started to the entire ceremony and the special toasts, prayers, and even dancing! Guy mailed us 2 copies of our video and when I called and told him how much I loved it and that I wanted to order more, he sent me two free videos! I really couldn't believe it, not only did I call expecting to pay something for them but I only asked for one additional video and he gave me another one free! I highly recommend Our Wedding Movie if you want to have a videographer at your wedding, not only are their prices the cheapest around, but you get so much for what you pay. I will definitely be telling everyone I know about my experience and suggesting it to future brides! read more

So, the process leading up to and including the wedding was fine. The videographer was very professional and seemed to do a good job. I was told through email that our video would be ready by the end of September. It's now the end of October, and we haven't gotten it. I've sent 2 emails and haven't received a response to either. It's interesting how when I was booking them and sending money, I got responses right away, but now that they have our money and product, nothing. If they were behind, I'd understand and a simple email response informing us of that would have been fine...but to just not respond? Very unprofessional. Luckily for us one of my friends is a lawyer, and has already agreed to help us, if it comes down to it. Such a shame that their customer service is so bad. read more
