We are grateful for Flower and Oak for capturing our wedding day so beautifully! They were professional and took the time to understand our wedding day and our vision.

They were also very receptive to feedback. We had few edits for the documentary video and they did it right away! Thank you again for being a part of our wedding!

  • Serves Makanda, IL

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!

Awarded Best of Zola
Gordon was so nice to work with! He also was always checking on me throughout the day. the photographers of course will lead the way throughout the day and Gordon made sure he was capturing more natural things. We received all our footage so quickly! Gordon also cares about giving the best product to his clients and that’s something I really appreciated about him. The product was amazing and so flawless. Our short clip had all the perfect words from our ceremony and the video was like what happened the whole day! I loved it!!

Hey guys, we are a collective that has come together to better serve our community. They say “if you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.” Benjamin and Kelsey met at a coffee house when Kelsey was a cute girl with a camera in hand. Needless to say, they discovered that they had a mutual passion for more than just photography. We are chasers of our next adventure. Whether that be on a windy mountaintop, or in a deep valley for intimate quite moments. We are obsessed with capturing images of our couples that truly resonate with them.

If you are of the opinion that the photographer is one of the most important roles in your wedding, you are looking in the right place. Ben of Boxcar was exactly what I wanted in a photographer: easy to work with, flexible, personable, adventurous, respectful, responsive, passionate and generous. In addition to being an all-around great guy, Ben also knows how to use a camera. I'm not sure I am qualified to try and classify his style, but I would say it has a certain photo-journalist quality to it. A quality that conveys realism, but is also very artistic. Long and short of it is, I highly recommend this guy. You will not be disappointed.

My name is Gage Horne, the owner of Gage Horne Studios. I started my company in 2019 (officially) but have been doing video work starting at the age of 11. It started as gaming videos uploaded to YouTube, to shooting professional dance films in college, to starting my own Video Production Service. I found true passion in my work when I realized how important wedding videos are. I had already shot 100+ films before my wedding but realized as a consumer how valuable it is. I love what I do and finding intriguing/interesting ways to display those pieces is what keeps me creative and constantly making my films better.

I have filmed over 700 weddings since 2006. I film in 4K resolution from multiple angles, because the happiest day of your life is too important to only film with only one camera. Filming weddings is the best part of my job, because I get to meet so many people and make their memories last forever. I'm always thinking long term; Someday you'll watch your wedding video with your children and grandchildren, and I take pride in making that a beautiful experience.

Aaron was an absolute delight! So considerate and friendly. He made the process fun and relaxing! I couldn't have asked for a better person to do the job on my big day! Thanks Aaron!
