My husband and I had the absolute best experience working with Trey and team. Trey truly took the time to learn about us as individuals, who we are together, what mattered to us most, and our vision for our wedding day. He is personable and professional and will truly feel like a friend that you are excited to see when the big day comes. Our video turned out better than we could’ve ever imagined and it is such a treasure to have such an elegantly captured representation of our day to look back on. It has also been the perfect way to share our experience with family and friends who weren’t able to make it. Watching the days events unfold through the perspective of a guest is such a cool experience and had us falling in love with the day all over again. Working with Trey was a flawless and stress free experience and took the pressure off us because he really was able to lead our team through the events seamlessly. We are so happy with the finished products down to being obsessed with the song choices he picked. He took all our feedback and ideas into consideration and just made our video spectacular. He is truly an artist in videography and we cannot recommend working with him enough!

Almost Fantasy ~ Photo + Video

I am Angela; owner, lead photographer, and wedding film director. My husband, Zac, is my favorite teammate and covers lead (gimbal) videography, or 2nd shooting (photography). We've been photographing and filming weddings together since 2010! He has a storytelling perspective, while I love details and intimacy. The tension between the two creates such a romantic vibe! When you need a larger team, we pull in our favorite colleagues - professionals in their own right - to work with us for the day. We have very close peer-vendor relationships with a solid group of amazing artists we work with regularly.

We can’t say enough about Angela and her team. Her professionalism, creativity and expertise made the picture taking and video of our wedding very special. It was very clear that they have extensive experience and we found ourselves being very comfortable working with them to capture the moments on our special day. Her follow-up and results truly exceeded our expectations and their fee was very reasonable. I should note that we had a Covid wedding and they managed to all of the concerns and special situations which we appreciated. Angela and her team will always be remembered as being part of our “family” and in sharing in our day. We highly recommend Almost Fantasy. If we could give more than a 5 star rating, we would!

Our approach to wedding filmmaking is simple- deliver the most sincere, organic recollection of the day by acting as unnoticeably as possible. By eliminating the pressures of being filmed, our couples are able to enjoy each moment of their day and be truly present in the experience, providing us with an authentic and emotional collection of frames. Weddings are our passion and we enjoy being able to assist with planning, coordinating and timeline creation throughout the months leading up to your big day. We’re with you every step of the way and are dedicated to creating the best possible version of your love story.

Rhys was great to work with!! He provided so much guidance leading up to the wedding day, going over my timeline and making recommendations based on how long he's seen things take. He also provides a list of suggested do's and dont's that you wouldn't realize have an impact on the video - it was so helpful!! Before the wedding he also has a prep call to go over all the details and any notes/requests we have for the videos (vibe we're looking for, any cinematic requests, song requests, etc.) He was another great presence to have the day of! We haven't gotten the video back yet but right after our wedding we got an email that lists out all the steps they take throughout video production. We've since gotten emails every time our video has moved to the next step. The communication from Rhys since we booked has been so incredible!

I’m Holly (she/her), a 28-year-old wedding videographer based in Grand Rapids, MI. I love for telling stories. Being a wedding videographer is truly a fly on the wall experience and I get to let you truly relive that day through video. You'll see yourself hugging your mom/dad at the end of the aisle, your first kiss as you're pronounced married for the first time, hear your vows to each other. I cannot explain how grateful I am to give you those slices of time.

Holly was absolutely amazing from the time I booked her to receiving my video. She knew what I wanted for a videographer and she exceeded my expectations. Her communication and timeliness on getting things to me was great! I’d book Holly all over again.

Your wedding or elopement is one full of raw moments, and it is our job to weave these together cohesively. We always approach each film with a detail-oriented eye, considering you, the film, the composition, the audio, the lighting, and everything in between, to ensure we achieve a comprehensive film with an emotional impact. It is also a priority of ours that your film resonates with your spirit. That it represents you, your story, your love, and your style authentically. That's why we get to know you and your partner well and cater to your preferred look.

My husband and I recently got married in December, 2023. I'm so grateful we hired Rick and his team to be our videographer!! I would highly recommend using them. Rick was very professional and supportive throughout the entire process. We set up a few calls while being engaged to prepare for the day. He also worked really well with our photographer to gameplan for the day. This was HUGE because they were able to work together to obtain all the shots needed and didn't step on each other's toes. Rick put together a 2 minute clip of the day, and I watch it everyday! The shots he chose and the music he tied with it was so meaningful. It was a perfect video to showcase the day. I shared it on social media. He also put together a full 45 minute video of the day that includes special events and speeches of the day, so we won't forget anything special that happened! Again, we are so grateful we worked with Rick. He captures all the special moments and now we have his work to look back on the wonderful day! Thank you!

Hi, I am Emily! I'm happy that you've landed on my page. I specialize in covering videography as well as photography. I have been shooting weddings since 2013. I fell in love with watching people be in love! You can't find a better gig. I went on to receive my Bachelor of Arts in 2019. I've really been able to put my education to work in regards to all things wedding films. When I'm not shooting weddings, I am doing real estate photography, binge watching Bob's Burgers and Saturday Night Live, or most likely eating something delicious. ;)

We couldn't have been happier to hire Emily for our videography. Like many other 2020 couples, we downsized our event to be an intimate ceremony. We last minute decided to hire a videographer, and luckily for us Emily was available! Our day was pretty chaotic with a lot of moving pieces, and she went with the flow with patience and kindness. By the end of the night, we felt like she had been a friend forever. The video is absolute perfection, and we are so thankful she saved the day last minute and gave us an impressive video to share with our family and friends who could not be in attendance. If we could give more than 5 stars on every category, we would!

I'm a wedding filmmaker based out of Chicago, IL and I love my job. It’s been nearly 4 years since I was asked to film my first wedding. Capturing the emotion, the details, and love portrayed from each couple’s special day has been unimaginably rewarding. I am thankful to everyone who has placed their trust in me to capture one of the most important days in their lives. When I’m not working I’m most likely trying to improve my latte art on my Breville Barista Express espresso machine or most importantly spending time with my beautiful wife and daughter. My goal is to create a family heirloom which can be passed down for generations to come.

Luis was incredible to work with. He is truly an artist. His work exceeded anything that we could have ever imagined. We knew that we could rely on Luis to deliver but OMG, the first time that we watched our wedding film our jaws dropped to the floor! It felt like we were watching a Hollywood movie! His storytelling and attention to detail are absolutely breathtaking! We truly can’t thank you enough Luis! To anyone considering hiring a wedding videographer, look no further and hire Luis. He’s the best!

Chris and Maddie blew us away with how quick we got our video full wedding video back. We got the trailer posted the next day and then the full video mid week, we were on our honeymoon still! We went with them because they offered the raw video footage for a little more and worked with us to capture exactly what we wanted. It was a flawless experaince and go greatful for meeting them both!

I was born and raised in Ukraine where I studied at a law school. When I moved to the USA in 2016, I dramatically switched my career path from a lawyer to a digital artist. I got a degree in Media Arts and Filmmaking and started shooting dance, fashion, music, and became a wedding videographer located in Chicago.

I don’t have enough kind words to express how great Sofiia was to work with. She truly has a gift for seeing the creative vision, telling stories, and finding pure magic without feeling like you’re acting. My husband was nervous about feeling like the moments we filmed being inauthentic or staged, but Sofiia works hard to let you be and capture real emotions. She’s passionate, so creative, and was someone we genuinely loved working with.
