312Film brought our wedding day vision to life! They made themselves invisible on the day of the wedding and captured the moments most important to us. They are extremely talented and it was no surprise to us since they shot all 3 of my brothers weddings in the past and did an incredible job. We are forever grateful and highly recommend their services.
Anna and Artem were fantastic to work with, and I highly recommend them to couples looking for a high quality, professional, and timeless wedding videographer. 312FILM knows exactly how to capture your day without making you feel too posed or unnatural. We were very happy with the quick turnaround on the trailer video and were wowed when we received our highlight video. The highlight video feels like a movie, and we couldn't believe how many details and clips were packed into the film. Anna and Artem captured every moment and wove the clips together to truly tell the story of our relationship and wedding day. Everything about 312FILM is top notch, from their professionalism, to the ease of working with Anna and Artem on the wedding day, to the film quality and final product. I would choose 312FILM again in a heartbeat!
Ana & Artem with 312 Film were incredible to work with. They are passionate about their work and really invest in the emotion and sentiment of your wedding day. I cannot describe how many positive comments we had just on our "trailer" alone. Their work is outstanding! I would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone who is looking for a videographer - they are the best of the best!
When the costs of a wedding are racking up, videography can really feel like a splurge. I wanted to use a videographer ever since my cousins wedding. I STILL have memories of watching her wedding videos repeatedly and laughing with my family at some choice dance moves and great moments. It was so fun getting to relive that great night. So, when we got engaged, and I found out my fiancé also wanted a videographer, it was an easy sell. And 312 Film was an even easier choice. I had already loved their videos from looking at options in the area, and had them at the top of my list. When both my planner AND my photographer endorsed them, I knew it was meant to be. But as the wedding drew closer, I started to have a little buyer’s remorse. After all, it’s not something the guests would really get to enjoy (or so I thought) and it seemed like a selfish spend. But, as always, my planner was the voice of reason, assuring me that no one ever regretted getting a videographer. Not only did we not regret it, I am overwhelmed with gratitude for 312 Film. Because of the crazy COVID world we live in, we didn’t get to meet them until the wedding day. When Anna walked into the room, she had such a lovely energy and the most beautiful smile. I knew we’d made the right choice. They gracefully blended in throughout the whole day, thoughtfully capturing all the important moments without being pushy or obnoxious. They allowed our photographer to get her shots while also making sure to capture the action and emotion of the “moving moments”. Even their short “sneak peek” video made my heart so full and brought the biggest smiles to our faces. No one can stop talking about it! I can’t wait to have the highlight video to look back and remember the wonderful time we all had together. This duo puts so much creativity and heart into what they do, and I’m so lucky we got to work with them.
In 2016, I saw a wedding video from a coworker and my mouth hung open - it was like a scene from a movie captured so beautifully! I knew then that I wanted Anna & Artem to capture my big day. Once we got engaged, I quickly reached out to secure them as videographers. Anna’s communication leading up to the big day is wonderful - she really puts you at ease. The day of the wedding, Anna & Artem did a great job of gathering footage of all different aspects of the entire wedding day. They do a great job of staying “hidden” - no bright lights, no cameras in your face. They really were more like super talented wedding guests! When we received the social media trailer video the day after the wedding, I was shocked - that 1 minute brought back all the feels and emotions and was captured like a movie, just like my coworker’s was in 2016. I knew then and I really know now that Anna & Artem were the best decision for videographers. Don’t miss out on having the best day of your life captured by Anna & Artem!
312 Film was my only choice for a wedding videographer after being in love with their cinematic style of video. When I got engaged, they were the first ones I called. Then I actually worked with them, and I was even more impressed. They are incredibly professional and so kind - they are excellent communicators and were always so responsive. On the morning of my wedding, they showed up early to get set up, say hello, and started filming. I felt so comfortable with Anna the entire day - she was so kind, and seamlessly blended in with the day, and offered enough guidance so that I didn't feel awkward, but also wasn't intrusive in any way (as some vendors can be!). My husband felt the same way - he raved about Artem and how he was so impressed with him and the expertise he offered throughout the entire day while also making it fun. We both felt that they made an AMAZING team and worked so well with our photographer which made the entire day stress free because we had full trust in them. They also sent a teaser clip a couple of days after the wedding which was such a nice touch, and made me so happy to be able to relive the best day of our lives.
THEN we got our video. I watched the video, and felt like I was watching a movie. They made our wedding feel like a feature film with the way they edit and pieced clips together with music. They are true artists, and made the most special day of our lives something that I will never forget. I can't even explain how happy I am to look back at this video and know that our day was captured to perfection. Choosing a videographer is money well spent, and incredibly worth it. And if you get one, the only choice is 312 Film. Hands down the best in the business.
312Film is the best choice for your wedding video, period! Anna and Artem run 312Film- they are an extremely talented husband and wife team who personally film your day, edit the video, and deliver your final product.
They are prompt and responsive so you don't need to keep emailing them to reach out or remind them of things.
They pay attention during your meetings so you don't end up repeating yourself- they understand exactly what you're looking for/what kind of couple you are/what you'll end up caring about and then make a super individualized video for you.
They gave the perfect amount of direction to us throughout the day, so my husband and I look natural- not awkward or forced- but we have all of the gorgeous romantic/epic moments you'd want in a wedding video. Anna is SUPER creative so she had me do little things for the camera that came out GORGEOUS (ex: she had me walk down the hallway and open the double doors to my bridal suite and I look like a QUEEN in that shot).
They even split up- so Anna filmed my morning, while Artem filmed my husband's morning-before coming together for the 1st look and rest of the day's events and the film product ended up so cohesive with such an epic style.
I think because they're two married artists, they have a deep, almost telepathic understanding of what will work so Anna and Artem would be filming us without having to talk to one another and interrupt/ruin a candid shot as it was unfolding or make us reenact things. These 2 can communicate just by looking at each other so they were able to capture us genuinely laughing or talking and those little natural soundbite pearls made the video extra special for us.
Anna and Artem are such pleasant, loving, genuinely empathetic people that made a stressful day feel safe and relaxed. They have such a wonderful disposition and energy. I spent over 12 hours with them and never one time felt irritated, even during moments of stress (which you will inevitably have on your wedding day!).
Lastly- Anna and Artem worked super well with my 2 photographers- which I didn't realize would be so important! 312Film would create a situation or give us direction on something to do and it gave our photographers some of their best shots/our favorite pictures.
If you're shopping around- just take my advice and hire 312Film. You will not regret it. They are worth every penny and I'd use them again in a heartbeat!
Working with 312Films from start to finish was a seamless experience and the results of their work were well worth it. Anna & Artem are true professionals at what they do and they just so happen to be genuinely kind people as well. They were incredibly helpful on the day of our wedding, taking on responsibilities outside of their primary tasks, while still managing to perfectly capture the day. We would recommend them to anyone.
Anna and Artem were absolutely incredible to work with! They made us feel comfortable in front of the camera and did a beautiful job seamlessly capturing all the details of our wedding day. The final products far exceeded all our expectations. They created lasting memories for us to share with our friends and family for years to come. It is such an incredible gift to see our wedding day come to life with Anna and Artem`s creativity. In addition to being incredibly talented professionally they are the warmest people and it was such a pleasure getting to know them. If you are lucky enough to have the opportunity work with them for your wedding, I highly recommend it!
We could not have asked for a better experience and final product from 312 Film. Anna & Artem were a pleasure to have with us on our wedding day. We just received our wedding highlights video and we are absolutely stunned by how beautiful it is. From capturing so many special moments with both family and friends, beautiful editing & lighting, great music selection, and stunning aerial footage. We cannot thank 312 Film enough for capturing our wedding day so beautifully on film for us to remember forever!
Best film couple for weddings ever! Anna and Artem expertise is beyond amazing! We could not have asked for a better film vendor! Both Anna and Artem have been a great pleasure to work with and made the entire day fly by so smoothly! Artem also was our bee savior at one of our photo locations. Both of them have provided great suggestions throughout the day to capture all video before it rained. They already have provided us with a teaser video that was absolutely beautiful! The quality of their work is priceless! Not only do they capture all the important aspects but also aerial drone footage. We could not have asked for a better video team! We highly recommend to anyone looking for a videographer for their wedding!!
You will not regret choosing 312Film as your wedding videographers!! We revolved our wedding date around their availability that's how important it was for us to have Anna and Artem!! I spent countless hours researching different videographers and nobody's work compared to 312Film. They do breathtaking work, pay attention to every detail, the videos they create tell a love story. The video quality is unreal and the way they produce the video is incredible. Not to mention, Anna and Artem are such a pleasure to work with. Both incredibly kind and warm. They made us feel very at ease throughout the entire day. Extremely professional. We recently received our 10 min wedding video and I cry every time I watch it! It perfectly reflects how special our day was!!!! I am eternally grateful for them capturing our wedding day, memories that we will have for the rest of our lives!!! Thank you so much, Anna and Artem!!!!!!!!
We couldn't have imagined a more perfect videographer team than Anna and Artem to capture our wedding day. Choosing a wedding videographer was always an important decision and we’re so grateful we chose them! Due to COVID, we ended up having 2 weddings. A small backyard ceremony in September 2020 and a larger celebration in August 2021. There were a lot of twists and turns and they were such a dream to work with for both events! They are so talented and truly capture the most beautiful video that we will cherish forever. They were so easy to work with and make you feel so comfortable and capture such lovely, organic shots! They were one of the best investments we made for our special day. Highly recommend!
Anna and Artem are an absolute joy to work with. They captured every moment of our day while at the same time being unobtrusive. They are artists and the film they produced for us is absolutely breath taking. If you are on the fence about the investment, it is 100 percent worth it and one of our most cherished mementos of our wedding. I can’t recommend 312 film enough!
One word-OBSESSED!! Our wedding video is amazing even after watching it for the 32434 time :-) We got married on 11.23.19 and the day couldn't have gone any better, we are so glad it was captured beautifully to remember it forever.
I absolutely love that they did a 1 minute highlight video and got it to us so quickly after the wedding. I showed it to everyone and they all thought it looked like a commercial! Anna & Artem are so sweet and so easy to work with throughout the whole process- before, during, and after the wedding, especially since I was an out-of-state bride.
By far one of the best investments you should make on your wedding day! You will not regret hiring 312!
Anna and Artem of 312Film were such a pleasure to work with. They were so easy to communicate with leading up to the wedding as well as after the wedding until our videos were complete. They share in such a creative and artistic talent in telling your wedding story. We are so happy to have gotten both the short and long form highlight films. All along I knew their work was incredible. I had my heart set on working with them knowing the quality of film they produce. When making vendor selections, no other wedding video I saw compared to Anna & Artem’s work. Working with Anna and Artem was the best decision and I could not recommend 312Film enough. They not only were wonderful people to work with, they also created a wedding video that we will cherish for the rest of time.
You can stop searching now - this is your wedding videographer. We hyper-researched everything about our wedding and vendors, and we came across 312 Film when we saw they had filmed another wedding at our venue. We fell in love with their beautiful style and watched several of their videos and knew we had found exactly what we were looking for. They tell a beautiful love story by capturing moments throughout your special day. The most amazing thing is that when we re-watch the video, I am not just remembering what happened that day - I actually feel what I felt that day. I have no idea how they do that, but it is a wonderful gift (and something we have enjoyed returning to watch many, many times – long after the dress is boxed up, the photos have been viewed, and the honeymoon has been enjoyed). From the very first meeting with them, throughout the actual day, and through to the final delivery of the video, they were the kindest, most professional, and most engaging team that we could have hoped to work with. You can tell that they love what they do, they have great ideas and are helpful with guiding you, and they can capture the essence of the day perfectly. The fact that they even do a “next day” teaser video is incredible - we used it as a quick thank you message to our guests the next day. While we don’t plan on getting married again lol, we have actively looked for other projects to work with them again on to capture life moments. Do yourself a favor and hire them as your videographer – that will be one part of the wedding you won’t have to worry at all about. They are simply amazing at what they do.
Anna and Artem are amazing!!! I knew after watching the first of many of their videos that I needed to have this team film our wedding day. It is 100000% worth the extra cost. Anna is absolutely amazing and so warm and respectful. We are one of the COVID weddings, so to have the support from Anna and Artem during this incredibly difficult time was beyond anything that we could have imagined. The teaser video is amazing - we cannot wait to see how the highlight video will turn out. We have the pleasure as well as having Anna and Artem for our wedding next year!
Anna and Artem are a fantastic duo! They are professional and understand your desires for your wedding day video footage. When I saw examples of their work, I knew they were perfect for our wedding day. I think spending money for video is necessary, as it is the one way to truly capture the day and have the memories to relive over and over again. Anna and Artem arrived on time and prepared to film the entire day. They went out of their way to make sure they got separate footage of both of us getting ready and captured the ceremony and reception perfectly. They sent the teaser link immediately after our wedding and the highlight and full film were worth the wait! After initially debating whether or not to spend the extra money for the full film, we are so happy we ended up doing so. You will not regret hiring Anna and Artem for your big day. Doing so will give you beautiful videos to remember one of the most important days of your lives!
313 film will be the best investment you make for your wedding day! They honestly are the best, no question! They are such a lovely couple and easy to work with. We love and miss them!! Our video is stunning and I love That I get to relive this day forever! Xoxo
Take it from a recent 312 bride, make sure you hire Anna and Artem from 312.I struggled with finding the right videographer and when we met with Anna, I felt like she would really capture the emotion of our day beautifully, and I couldn’t have been more right. It’s so easy to get caught up in the day of details and not out enough thought in the memories you’ll have from the day forever, but I’m so glad we did. It’s amazing how quickly the day is over and the video is what you’ll have to look back on to really remember every detail and emotion. I can’t even tell you the reaction we received to our teaser video; no one could believe the quality and how much they could fit in a minute video. Then came our longer version and it was even better; having these videos are the perfect thing to share to really get a feel for the day and also the perfect way to get all the emotions back you felt on the day of your wedding. The work Anna and Artem do is amazing but so are they. They’re so kind and calming and capture every moment without even noticing they’re there but provide support and guidance on shots; trust them. Every pose they recommended looked incredible on film. There’s a reason their in such high demand; they make the best product, are true professionals while doing it, but also so incredibly kind as well. I am SO happy we made the decision to work with 312 and as a recent bride thankful we made our video a priority of the day, you’ll be so thankful to have this piece of art to relive your day.
Anna and Artem are simply the best. I would 100% recommend them to anyone getting married in Chicago. They produce high quality, professional videos that are beautiful. I cannot say enough great things about the two of them. They were easily the nicest and most flexible vendors we hired. They blended in with the day effortlessly, yet captured every detail. Not only did they not miss a thing, the talent they have to edit and tell a story of the day is priceless. I could not ask for a more beautiful wedding video. Anna and Artem, thank you so much for creating videos we will cherish forever.
My husband and I cannot say enough amazing things about Anna and Artem! We were on the fence initially about investing in a videographer (wondering if the extra expense would be worth it) and it was the BEST decision we made for our wedding, by far. Both of them are so professional, calming and people you want around on your big day. You can tell they know what they're doing. Not to mention, their work is INCREDIBLE. We received an overwhelming amount of compliments on our wedding video from family and friends. They make your wedding video so personal and tailored to you as a couple, which makes it so incredibly special. No wedding video of theirs is just like the other, and the quality is outstanding. You can just tell they pour their hearts into what they do. We feel so lucky to have these "live" memories to watch forever. We could not recommend these two lovely people more -- if you are on the fence, you will NOT regret it! I promise you!
Where should I start? 312 (Anna and Artem) were AMAZING. They are very very professional. They know what they are doing. They are not only videographers but also producers! They created magical videos for us. Amazing image quality, perfect choice of songs, captured everything perfectly and so romantically and elegantly. This was basically the best money we spent in our weeding without a doubt.
On a personal level, they are very professional, timely, responsive and most importantly very pleasant which we really appreciated during the wedding day. They were very easy to work with, not only with us but also with our photographer which made things easy!
I found them for the 1st time on instagram and their videos touched me right away. I contacted them and our 1st interaction was so smooth so I decided to go with them right away. I got so many compliments and people from all over the world (I have a big family that live in different areas in the world) asked me about their fantastic work.
I loved working with them and I genuinely strongly recommend them. You will not regret choosing them I promise :)
If I go back in time, I would choose them over over again. The video they gave me is from my dreams. I am so grateful to them
I fell in love with 312 Film’s wedding videos the first time I visited their website. After meeting with Anya in person, there was no question that this was the perfect person to film my wedding day! Even before the big day, Anya & her husband, Artem, were in touch to make sure they were prepared for the day. On the day of our wedding, they were extremely professional and incredibly easy to work with. They had told me ahead of time that they needed 5-10 minutes at each photo spot. They knew exactly what shots they wanted to do and were quick and efficient to get them done with always a smile on their faces! Additionally, our church had strict rules for videographers and they were very respectful of those rules. They were never intrusive and were willing to help throughout the day wherever needed. We received our trailer video the morning after our wedding and it brought so much joy to my husband and I. Our wedding day was perfect but it all happens so fast. To be able to watch the trailer together, and send it to our friends and family, the next day was very special. We also received a highlight video and purchased the additional full wedding video. Each one was amazing quality with beautiful footage (including drone!) and they were always willing to make any adjustments that we needed. Best decision we made for our wedding!
Anya and Artem are simply the BEST wedding videographer you can get in Chicago! They are so PROFESSIONAL, extremely kind, flexible and super nice to work with (which's very important when it comes to a stressful wedding day).
The package we booked includes Aerial Shots and over 10 hours of coverage and multiple length footages, it is really helpful if you'd like to post the short ones on social media or share the entire wedding with guests who weren't able to make it. The videos they took for us look like coming out of a Hollywood movie (I couldn't stop watching the teaser/short video over and over).
Our family and us are so happy about it. Anya and Artem even so kindly offred to put Chinese subtitles for our mandarin speaking grandparents.
It's the BEST investment for our wedding. If you are looking for a videographer and video is an important part of your wedding day, FILM 312 is the one! Look nowhere!
312 Film is by far the vendor we had for our wedding. Right from the get go, Anna and Artem were extremely professional in providing us quotes and information about their videography services and genuinely wanted to get to know us and what we wanted in our wedding video.s. We had a multiple day South Asian wedding and both Anna and Artem showed up to every event early and often stayed late to make sure they got all the coverage they felt was necessary. They are so extremely good at what they do and they make it look incredibly easy while doing it. They are incredibly creative in their shots and they make it so much fun to be filmed!
The next day teaser was so amazing to watch the day after the wedding, and the short film was even better. Anna and Artem work tirelessly to make sure the video you want is perfect. We had made multiple changes to the short film and they executed our changes to perfection and made a final product that we can forever look back on.
We can’t truly express in words how amazing our experience with 312 films was. Although they are on the higher price range of videographers, it is totally worth going with 312 films for your wedding, trust us you won’t regret it!
We LOVE 312, an invaluable investment! We had an absolutely unbelievable experience working with 312Film. The video that we have of our wedding day is truly invaluable - breathtaking, thoughtful, sentimental, the perfect representation of us, our family, and the entire day... something we will treasure for a lifetime. We cannot speak highly enough of Anya and Artem - they are two of the nicest, most genuine people. They go above and beyond to capture all of the best moments while simultaneously providing a sense of comfort, calm, and guidance that is so helpful on your wedding day. This investment was worth every penny and we LOVE 312!
I could write pages about how much I love Artem and Anya at 312Film! Choosing a videographer was initially very overwhelming as there are a lot of options available in Chicago. When looking at different companies, no one really stuck out my husband and I - until we came across 312Film.
Our vision for our video was we wanted something that allowed you to feel the emotion of our wedding day, even without anyone speaking in the video. The videos I watched on 312Film's website made me cry like a baby - and I do not know any of the couples in them. You could just feel the love between the couples and we loved how everything was done - the music, effects, angles, and on and on - in each video.
Our first conversation with Anya was fantastic. She really got our vision and made it clear that they were going to do everything that they could to make it come to life. On the wedding day, they were a complete joy to work with. They were so accommodating, professional, pleasant, gracious and were clearly invested in our wedding and in us as a couple. We could not have had a better experience.
Anya and Artem left our wedding at about 10:30 pm or so on a Saturday. By Sunday morning, before 11 am, they sent us a 30 second teaser video that made our jaws drop. We could not believe the put together such a beautiful reflection of our day in such a short amount of time. We have since received our highlight video and our longer video - and I still cry every time I view each video. The videos are more than what we ever dreamed and that is all because of Anya and Artem.
We have had so many people compliment our video and ask who we had as our videographer. Do yourself a favor and book them for your wedding - you will not regret it!
Originally, videography was a vendor I thought I didn't need and put on my 'cut' list to cut costs. It wasn't until my parents insisted that I have a videographer which I wasn't too passionate about that I started researching videographers in Chicago. One day I noticed a teaser of one of my sorority sisters that got married in Chicago and instantly was intrigued. What was this magical thing I was watching? It looked like a Hollywood movie trailer and I was in awe of how emotional the 10 second trailer made me. This was NOT what I expected of a wedding videographer and had always thought they were cheesy and cliche. 312Film, instantly became my favorite vendor. I would watch their trailers on their website during my lunch break at work and cry in my office because their work made me feel something and I couldn't wait to be that couple on my wedding day in the video. Watching strangers and reacting with such strong emotion is a testament to their work.
Anya & Artem are so talented, gifted, and passionate about what they do and it shows. Meeting Anna over the phone and then in person I totally 'fanned girled' out and told them how much I loved their work. On the day of my wedding, they 100% lived up to the expectation I had built up in my head. They were so kind, sweet, professional and respectful. When my husband and I shared a quite moment to ourselves the next morning to watch the 'teaser' that they emailed us, I cried. Watching the video brings me so much joy because in those 10 seconds they captured the essences of our wedding day so perfectly that I can't wait for more. I'm SO elated that we went with the full package. I highly recommend getting everything they offer! Get the full length video you will not regret it. My husband and I literally can't wait until we get it. We truly had the best day of our entire lives and we feel so honored and blessed that it was captured by such talented people like Anya & Artem. If Anna & Artem could capture the rest of my life I would hire them! They are hands down THE most talented videographers in the Midwest and I would recommend them to any Bride & Groom. Their work is elegant, classic, emotional and timeless. I'm forever appreciative and grateful to Anya & Artem for helping to make my wedding experience so magical!
Words cannot describe how amazing Anna and Artem are to work with.
After our venue, booking 312Film was the first major wedding decision we made. With a slightly higher price tag, I knew we needed to commit before other costs began to chip away at our budget and we changed our minds....and I am SO INCREDIBLY HAPPY we did. Here's why:
INTRODUCTION: Anna and Artem are fully committed to giving you a final product that is reflective of your relationship, and that truly shows every step of the way. After initially reaching out for a quote, A&A asked us to met them at a cafe to get to know each other better. This alone was an amazingly thoughtful step and allowed us to feel comfortable with each other prior to our wedding day.
RATES: Yes, 312 Film is more expensive than some other vendors, but we loved that their package was simple and straightforward—no upgrades and extras. If you're investing in a wedding video at all, it's worth going big and preserving your day in the best way possible. With them you get more than a camera for a couple of hours, but gifted storytellers and editors who are dedicated to showcasing your wedding in a way that's better than you even remember.
WEDDING DAY: I'll never forget the moment Anna showed up (Artem was in large part with my groom—which is another HUGE perk of booking the two of them), she walked over to my stressed self and was an incredibly calming presence, crouching down while I was getting my make-up done and holding my hand to say hello in such a soothing way. I immediately knew that whatever happened, I had the most capable crew and absolutely nothing to worry about. Throughout the day, they were so thoughtful and considerate and really worked hard to collaborate with our photographer (someone they hadn't worked with before), being patient and scrappy to get the perfect shot when time wouldn't always allow. They also give the best direction, making me, someone who's awkward at best, look effortlessly beautiful on camera. I still wish I had some of their video shots as stills! Also, having a drone might sound extra, BUT IT IS SO WORTH IT.
PRODUCT: First of all, not enough can be said about the next-day clip. It may seem unnecessary on paper, but when you wake up the morning after your wedding a jumble of emotions and "did that just happen?" thoughts, it's the most incredible gift to receive. I IMMEDIATELY burst into tears upon seeing it and was so excited to share. Weeks later, I had the same teary eyed reaction to our highlight video which was perfectly edited to tell such a meaningful story of our relationship and marriage. I loved every minute—and when there were three shots that I was self-conscious about, they were so easy to work with in providing an edit. As for the full length, the one added cost of working with 312Film, DO IT. I can't imagine our wedding day being whittled down to 8-minutes, and this cut is just perfect in capturing every minute—including the ones we don't quite remember.
All that said, I wish I could hire Anna and Artem to video our entire life. They are ABSOLUTELY amazing, worth every penny, and genuinely great people. My only regret is it took me this long to write a review!
My husband and I absolutely loved working with Anna and Artem! They are the sweetest couple, very professional, and phenomenal at what they do. Hiring a videographer was last-minute decision, but we are absolutely thrilled that we decided to hire a videographer, and that it was 312 FILM.
The planning stages couldn't have been easier. They were quick to respond, and took all of our feedback into consideration when making our video. They were amazing to work with on our wedding day--half the time we didn't even realize they were filming! They were also flexible with our wedding day schedule; we had a long break between the ceremony and the reception, which they were willing to work through (which was appreciated--during our research, we learned that a lot of other videographers aren't quite as flexible when it comes to breaks). We got our teaser trailer back the day after the wedding during the post-wedding brunch, which was amazing!
We received the full wedding video approximately 2 months after the wedding, and we have probably watched it over 25 times. We have gotten so many compliments from friends and family on the wedding video, and could not be more pleased with how it turned out. We highly recommend 312 FILM to anyone who is looking for a wedding videographer--they create beautiful videos and were an absolute pleasure to work with!
312 Film does an absolutely amazing job in capturing your wedding day! Our wedding highlight video is spectacular and we love the full-length video they were able to make for us as well. They are quality videographers who are the nicest people and were very easy to work with - they also worked extremely well with our photographer which was very important for us. All in, this was worth every penny.
It was a great pleasure working with Anna and Artem! During our first conversation, Anna not only answered all my silly questions, but talked about their experience as videographers, explained the equipment they use, and the thought process that goes behind producing a beautiful piece of art. Both Anna and Artem are amazing at what they do, and are super friendly! My husband and I did not meet them until the day of the wedding, but we felt instantly comfortable working with them! They’re super sweet, punctual, organized, very creative, and very professional! I love that they share a short 15 second teaser the day after the wedding. Our wedding highlight video captures our day perfectly and we couldn’t have asked for anything more! As I mentioned earlier, Anna and Artem are super creative and they captured every little detail that was important to us at our wedding. Everyone who has watched our video had nothing but great things to say about 312Film! We couldn’t have worked with anyone better! I’d recommend 312Film to anyone and everyone! Thank you so much for everything, Anna and Artem!! You guys are the best!
Yes to 312FILM! One of the best decisions for our wedding! Please people, if you are looking for the best videographers, please take a look at 312FILM. Not only have I made my whole office, family, friends all cry with our video, it has made my wedding day that much more special. I can't wait to show our kids one day! Anna and Artem go above and beyond to create a masterpiece. They are easy going and such wonderful people. I am so glad I chose them over all the others! They have ONE package and it guarantees everything. I loved that I never had to worry about missing out on something. Their quality of work is amazing and I am going to recommend them to everyone!!
If you were lucky enough to find this company, look no further! I felt like they truly captured my emotions and feelings of the day PERFECTLY. Their turn around time was they fastest I have ever seen. They were kind, patient, and professional throughout the entire day. Anna & Artem... Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
312 Film will be the best money spent out of your wedding budget. Book them early (because they are quite popular ;) and don’t look back!
Anna and Artem are extraordinarily skilled at what they do. As observant story tellers, they “blend” with your family to unobtrusively capture the most golden moments of the day. They have an eye for subtle beauty and a pulse on the tone of your day. In fact, we’re such fans of their work that 312 Film has become somewhat of a family affair—within two years, they’ve captured two different Guarnaccio weddings.
Reasons why we love 312 Film:
1. An administrative breeze. Approachable and accommodating, they ensure that everything from booking to timing to follow through is easy.
2. When they perceive that it’s necessary, they take the reigns and subtly direct. I’m easily frazzled when I’m the center of attention, so in the joyful chaos that followed our ceremony, with the photographer trying to get shots and everyone milling about….Anna lightly touched my shoulder, subtly pulled Chase and I aside, and made sure we had some romantic, intimate, and more relaxed moments alone, just us two. I was so distracted by all of the other activity that I didn’t realize it at the time, but she noticed that we needed some moments alone and made sure—gently—that it happened. Needless to say, the footage of those moments is incredible.
3. Their work is beautiful and the quality impeccable.
4. They bring amazing ideas and creativity to the table, and leverage their prior experiences to create a work of cinematic art.
5. They are able to take hours of raw footage and create a highlight real that captures of all the joy, emotion, and hopefulness of your wedding day. In ~10 minutes, they told our story in a way that is so truly unique to us, and they somehow captured the warmth and joy that we all felt on that day.
6. Everyone who has watched our video is absolutely blown away. Based on the cinematic quality, you believe you’re watching a feature film at the movie theater. Absolutely incredible.
7. They were flexible, reasonable, and responsive in our communications after the wedding. We had a few requests in the post-production period that they incorporated flawlessly.
Anna & Artem, we can’t thank you enough. You have given us a treasure, and our family is forever your biggest fans.

Top Notch! I would like to thank Anna and Artem with312 Film for the awesome memories. Our wedding video was stunning and beautifully captured the day. You both are truly talented and the quality of our wedding video reflects that. The attention to detail especially impressed me as there were so many details forgotten in the crazy of our wedding day. Thank you both so much.
I would hire them again in a heartbeat. I didn't know much about them prior to booking them however the video they delivered is amazing. They were able to capture all of the special moments of the day. The most amazing part is that they sent me a video teaser literally the next day.
312 Film was absolutely amazing! Anna and Artem are two of the most genuine and sincere people we have ever met. We truly felt that they were there to make our day special. We don't even need to say all that much about the quality of their work because you can see it on their website. Our wedding video was stunning! It was unique and beautiful and captured the day perfectly. These are just some of the things that made 312 Film the perfect choice for us:
• Throughout the process, they quickly responded to all of our questions and emails. The communication before, during, and after was excellent and we never worried about anything.
• We received our teaser and highlights video much faster than we expected.
• They were so easy to work with and helped make our day stress-free.
• Anna and Artem are so knowledgeable about what they do – they had amazing ideas and visions which we saw come to life in the video.
• Everyone who has watched our video is absolutely blown away. A few people, who I don’t know very well, have told my parents that they watched the video multiple times…it’s just that good!
• They were present but discrete while filming. The day just felt normal. We felt so comfortable while they were directing us. It didn’t feel forced or unnatural. During the ceremony they were so discrete – I didn’t even realize they were there.
312 Film is definitely the way to go. You will not be disappointed. If I could give them more than five stars I would. Thank you Anna and Artem for everything!! You were such an important part of our day and gave us the most amazing video to remember the day.
I'm not even sure where to begin in reviewing 312Film. I feel like I owe them so much more than just a 5-star review for so perfectly capturing our wedding day. I spent hours upon hours researching videographers, watching samples, and comparing prices. The tell-tale sign of a great video, to me, was that it makes me happy/ugly cry--and every one of their videos did that for me. Because of how perfect all of the videos on their website were, I assumed I would find out that their work was FAR out of our budget. I was THRILLED to find out that they were much more reasonably priced than many other (less talented) videographers in Chicago...so I booked them immediately. 312Film was the one vendor that never gave me ANY doubts or fears throughout the planning period, and that sentiment continued during the wedding day. They were prompt, polite, and after I revealed my video on social media, many guests said that they didn't even know we had videographers because Artem and Anna were so discreet. But, most importantly, their work left me speechless. They somehow managed to send me a "teaser" from the previous night before we had even finished our brunch the day after the wedding. Then, when I received the highlights video, we were absolutely amazed. It was perfect. They had used a DRONE (!!) to get overhead video of my parents' home and our church, which added to the professionalism of the video. Their music choices were perfect, their angles were perfect, and they included the most important pieces of the day. They were even MORE than kind and accommodating when I asked them to make a small change to the video to include a particular part of a speech. I have never felt more like a movie star. They even sent us the DVD versions of the films in the mail, with a personalized DVD case and a beautiful keepsake box with the zip drive version.
If you were having ANY doubts about booking 312Film for your big day...DON'T! You will absolutely not regret the decision!! THANK YOU ANNA AND ARTEM!!!
Anna and Artem were such a pleasure to work with! They made us feel very comfortable and did not interfere with anything we had planned. I have had so many people tell us that our video is the best wedding they have ever seen- and it truly was! They have no hidden costs and their turn around time is incredible. They even made a 30 second clip for us the day after the wedding for us to share and thank our guests! Such a great team- highly recommended!
Anna and Artem of 312Film were absolutely amazing! They were definitely our favorite wedding vendors. They were super responsive, professional, and friendly throughout the entire wedding process. We were planning our Chicago wedding from the East Coast and it wasn't difficult to communicate with them.
We found 312Film online and watched all their wedding videos. There was one in particular video that really fit our style. About 14 months before our wedding, we visited Chicago and scheduled a meeting over coffee to get to know them. Afterward, we knew they understood our vision for our wedding video and signed the contract.
A couple weeks before the wedding, we had a phone call with them to make sure that we were all on the same page. We continued to watch their new wedding videos posted online and grew more excited. We were very confident that they were going to do a fabulous job, which was very helpful as it was one last thing for us to worry about before the wedding.
On the wedding day, they exceeded all our expectations. They showed up a little earlier than our scheduled time, which was great so that they could set-up our getting ready items and details. There was a lot of anxiety and emotions and throughout the getting ready process and they were so professional and sweet. It was the first time they worked with our photographer and it seemed pretty seamless. We spent some time alone with Anna and Artem to get specific shots. We loved our wedding teaser the next day! It was so fun to get a sneak peek the day after. The turnaround time for our wedding highlights video went by fast. We fell in love with our wedding highlights video. It truly captured the magical day and all the emotions. We could not stop watching it and were so thrilled to share it with our family and friends. We cannot wait to get the full video. Thank you so much Anna & Artem!
312 Film captured our day perfectly!! They were wonderful to work with and very professional! Our highlight video is the most amazing video I have ever seen in my life! Such an incredible way to capture the best day of our lives!! I HIGHLY recommend 312!!
You want to use A&A for your wedding day video. They are absolutely the sweetest couple and also run a professional business. THey were wonderful to work with during the planning process. They respond almost immediately and took all my suggestions and incorporated them into the wedding videos. You receive three videos from them 1 is the teaser the morning after the wedding (which is awesome because you're still on such a high from the day before - a lot of videographers don't give a teaser immediately) 2 is a high light video 3 is a full video that has full speeches etc. The other thing that was wonderful about them was that they seemed to be in the shadows all day. They were never in our way and seemed to capture all the special moments. They were absolutely incredible. I would recommend them to anyone who really wants a timeless memory of your wedding to share for all the years of your marriage.
My husband and I can't thank Anna & Artem enough for their talents and dedication on our wedding day. Our video is simply amazing. A month later, and the oohs, ahhs and compliments have yet to subside. Our family and friends refer to it as "the movie" because they say that it all looks like something from a fairytale. The attention to detail is indescribable and the flow keeps you on your toes wanting more. We can't wait to show our kids one day! If you're looking for a loving couple to invest their time, patience and creativity into that ONE special day, look no further. Anna and Artem, there's so much more that you guys are going to show the world, and I'm honored to have worked with you.
Anna and Artem were a true pleasure to work with. Very professional, responsive and such high quality service and final product for the value. They blended in so well with the day, we barely felt them there from start to finish. They were even able to do a same day edit, at our personal request. On top of all this, the highlight video (trailer) came out wonderful! We are anxiously anticipating our full-length video, but we are confident it will be just as beautiful as the highlight. Thank you Anna and Artem for capturing our day so beautifully!
Anna and Artem were simply amazing. When I first was looking for a videographer, I searched many local and not local companies. Initially what drew me to them was the name of their company, but after speaking with Anna for over an hour when I called to inquire about their services, I felt confident I had made the right choice. We ran down all my personal requests and timeline for the day, and kept in contact until the big day. They were very professional during the entire day and in their final work. Anna and Artem made me feel very comfortable as I am camera shy, and I pretty much didn't even notice they were there sometimes. Their work is simply amazing. We are SO pleased and happy with our film, and we love sharing our video with those did not make it and know we will share for years to come with our friends, family, and one day our children. You will not go wrong in choosing 312Film to film your wedding and perhaps other services. The work is perfect, they captured the vibe of our wedding that words cannot explain. Just watch our video! :) Anna & Artem, thank you for capturing this event. With your talent and vision, we couldn't have asked for anything better!!
I highly recommend 312 Film!!
Anna, Artem and team were very friendly, warm, timely and professional to work with from the time we first met them to wedding day to video production. Especially on your wedding day you want to be surrounded by warm lovely people and 312 Film's team were exactly that!
The quality of the videos (they give you 3 videos!) were excellent. The editing is of a very high quality, the feeling and atmosphere of the video is spot on, it is classy, professional, captures the emotion of the day, and our experience really well. It was really a great piece of cinema from the footage, music, to editing!
I probably researched about 7-8 options and 312 Film's video quality was the best and their price was less than half of the highest priced videographer. AND, 312 Film was the only videographer that included a movie length (60min+) video option--I was shocked they no other videographers offered this option. All other crews only offered the 10min highlight video, which misses all the things that happened during the day, including speeches, etc etc. 312 film gives you the short teaser, the 10min highlight video and the 60min+ movie!
So best in quality, great in price, I would recommend to anyone looking for great videographer team! 312 Film is the complete package!
312 Film gave us incredible results! We are so happy with everything - from the teaser, to the highlight, to the long video DVD and Blue-ray! Everything was perfect and on time or early. I strongly recommend considering their service!
It is so clear that Anna and Artem love what they do. The detail and time that goes into making their videos wonderful is clear. I have rewatched our trailer video it feels like 100 times already. Anna and Artem are such a warm and talented couple, it was a pleasure to have them be a part of our wedding day. Throughout the entire process they were professional and responsive. We weren't even sure we were going to get a videographer and I am so so glad that we did - great value, great couple and we would highly recommend working with them.
Anna & Artem at 312 Film were amazing! From how professional they were, to the fact that they beautifully captured our day...we could not be happier! They were amazing with communication before and during our event, and the finished product shows how passionate they are with what they do. They were affordable and made sure everything was perfect for our day. Can not say enough about how happy we are that we chose them!
