I could not speak more highly of Ben, the quality of the product and person. When our usb was later corrupted, Ben saved the day by providing a whole new set of photos and videos. Our family still talks about how great Ben and his team were and how amazingly he corralled both families seamlessly so it did not take forever to take group photos. Do not look further, he and his team will be the perfect addition to your wedding.

We needed a local and reliable Chicago Videographer who could shoot and edit videos for us at the drop-of-a-dime. Irwin is a skillful productions ninja, he always has the right solution. We are a local marketing company, so you see how we need someone who will make us look good. The team at Video one productions are the best of all the video editors we've worked with thus far. If you want it done right, these are your go-to!

The process was good and the product was amazing. I was shocked as to the professional feel and look of the end product was for the price.

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!!!!

When I got engaged - Kai was the first vendor I booked. He was so easy to work with. The videos he created were INCREDIBLE. It is the best money I have ever spent.

We knew we wanted videography for our wedding, but had no clue where to start. I watched so many…read morevideos in hopes of finding a theme or style I'd like without much luck. Too many seemed cheesy, had slow music, and seemed forced. After watching several of Kai's videos I knew we had found the right person. His amazing personality burst via email, showing genuine excitement and care about each step of the process. We explained certain aspects of the wedding we definitely wanted captured (first look, bouquet toss, drone footage, dancing during reception) and could not believe it was OUR wedding. The final product was gorgeous! He captured Chicago so perfectly, our special moments, and hilarious scenes we didn't even know happened at the wedding. Our friends instantly felt comfortable with Kai filming, making the entire day so genuine and filled with love. I have watched our video so many times in disbelief he was able to combine some of our favorite songs to our wedding day. Kai's creativity and vision exceeded our expectations. We are eternally grateful to have such a beautiful video to reminisce one of the best days of our lives!
