Thanks to recommendations from couples on The Knot
My specialty is providing affordable videography for couples and their families to share and preserve memories of special times. Few times in life are more special for families than weddings. Producing wedding stories has become my art and passion as well as my primary video business focus. Places, faces, music and voices will be woven into your wedding story. I strive to exceed expectations and still fit within most budgets. Past work filming human interest productions for local cable TV taught me to pay attention to recording the details that make moments special.
Your wedding video can begin with some of your preparations - location & timing as needed for YOUR plans. Maybe record a short message to each other before the ceremony to capture some of the emotions of those moments? Film a gift exchange or a first look? Maybe a blend of rushed activity mixed with a start to celebrations? Your day....your choices....your memories.
I usually record the full ceremony, reception speeches & toasts, bridal dances, cake cutting, as well as the spontaneous fun happening all around. Coverage of only your ceremony with limited time before or afterwards is also available. Years of experience have taught me that recording more footage than seems needed is better than missing the chance to record important moments. To capture some of the emotions from that special time before your ceremony, I recommend having me record a short message to each other on camera. This will provide unique memories for you to cherish for years to come. I will also film guest congratulations & advice - if you so choose. This is a FUN activity for your guests and nice memento for you as well.
You receive an artistically assembled short highlight clip set to voices & music special from your day AND a full feature length documentary video. Samples of some recent highlight videos can be viewed here on The Knot. Your more complete full feature edit can be tight to reduce the video to essential content as a mini-documentary - or left longer for a detailed telling of your wedding story.
A proof for your approval will usually be available within 2 to 3 weeks. The final HD video can be delivered digitally online, on USB flash drive, or even on DVD or Blu-ray. A basic description of my typical services can be viewed on the AE price & services list attached as a PDF to this page. Something more ? Something less? Just ask. I try to be flexible to your needs.

Telling wedding stories has become the most enjoyable part of my videography work. Producing human interest stories for cable TV taught me to pull together pieces of our communications, conversations and my experience filming events into a story of your day that will fuel memories for years to come. Meeting new people for what is always a happy time adds frosting to this already pleasurable cake. A focus on people aspects in telling your special story results. Affordable wedding videography has become my passion and art, as much as - or even more so than my business.

Jeff did a wonderful job on our wedding video! From the beginning, his price point is what caught my attention. Then he was very quick to respond, and very professional throughout. He spent 10 hours on our wedding day (staying until after midnight on NYE!) and caught some many memorable moments that I’m so happy to now have forever! Jeff worked very hard to ensure we were happy with our highlight video, plus provided us with hours of footage from our day. We are very happy with our choice, and will be watching Jeff’s work for the rest of our lives!

Jeff at Athenas Eyes Productions was the perfect choice for our wedding. We went with his Gold package for our wedding. He captured our wedding ceremony with a stationary videocamera from a balcony and also with another videocamera at floor level. He does the work of two people. He was very timely and patient. He was so friendly and our guests all complimented us on how nice he was. He was very flexible with our requests. We asked for him to interview our guests during our reception and he did an awesome job with balancing the interviews while also capturing the most important parts of our day. If we had to re-do our wedding, we would definitely keep him as our videographer. Great job, Jeff! Thanks again!

ddings is where both of you will enjoy some of the best memories of the day. Especially in a wedding like yours with guests from both near and far away. Glad to hear that your guests enjoyed offering "comments, congratulations, and advice" and mentioned that to you. Capturing the planned events goes without saying, but the spontaneous fun is all the more special. Thank you for your review.

They showed up on time and made all of our guests feel comfortable while capturing every special moment. Their attention to detail and commitment to excellence have truly gone above and beyond our expectations. The video is absolutely beautiful, and it’s clear they put their heart into their work to make sure we were 100% happy. We highly recommend Jeff with Athenas Eyes Productions for anyone looking for a talented and dependable videographer!

We absolutely love Jeff with Athena’s eyes! He did our wedding on Oct.14 2023 and was a perfect fit. He was so easy to work with and fit right in with the whole group making him even easier to work with. Everything was edited and turned over to us super fast with special personnel touches. We %100 recommend

. Spending time with you during your preparations while you explained your complications and how you worked through them gave me a bit more appreciation of your efforts, and helped make for some extra memories since I recorded some of your comments for the full feature documentary. You pulled it all together! And capturing some of your creative twists plus lots of smiles and laughs made for a very enjoyable day of filming. Thanks again for choosing me to tell your wedding story.

Jeff was AMAZING!! From our first communication to the big day he was there through it all! We had a small wedding and reception and Jeff captured every moment perfectly! I don't like being on camera but Jeff was like a ninja..I knew he was there but didn't! Our highlight video was amazing and brought me right back to my wedding day. Jeff is very friendly and fun, I even saw him bopping to some of the music. 🙂 I would give him 10 stars if I could! Thank you again Jeff for everything!!!

Jeff was an awesome videographer for our wedding!! We really lucked out in finding his work online. He's super affordable and really goes above and beyond to make the best momento you'll have of your big day. He was there pretty much the whole day and even went around the tables to get a little comment from everyone! We couldn't be more excited to see the full feature video after watching the highlight video and the teaser for Instagram posts.

Jeff was wonderful to work with. My dad was the one that found and hired Jeff to record our wedding. My wife and I are simple, we didn’t want a grand big thing when it came to our wedding video. I mean the day is stressful enough as it is! Jeff immediately reached out and we discussed the do’s and don’t’s of what we wanted for our wedding. He was very easy to work and communicate with.
Like I said, we’re simple, and already had one camera in our face the whole time (the photographer) and we didn’t want another one. So, our biggest this I asked of Jeff was, “I don’t want my wife to know you’re there”.
Jeff kept his premise. The few things he needed from us, he came to me and asked. It was simple and smooth and exactly how we wanted it to go.
In the end, the video turned out wonderful. It didn’t take long for him to send over the files and we were able to share with our families and laugh at those little moments my wife and I didn’t get a chance to see!
Truly am grateful to have Jeff offer my wife and I a different perspective of our wedding so we could see how our family and friends saw it.
Thank you Jeff!

We hired Jeff at the last minute to record our wedding ceremony. We were planning to have a family member do the recording but realized it would be smarter to hire someone so we didn’t have to worry about it on our wedding day. He was easy to work with, reasonably priced, and captured all the special moments of our ceremony. We weren’t looking for anything fancy or artsy, we just wanted a recording of the events as they unfolded and Jeff honored our requests. The video and audio quality were good and he had our highlight reel and final film done very quickly for us. We are so glad we had Jeff do the recording for us instead of worry about having a friend/family member do the recording. Thanks Athena Eyes!

I can't say enough about Jeff and the video work he did for my sons wedding in Milwaukee Labor day weekend. He was extremely personable. He seemed to be everywhere and captured everything perfectly. The utube and final video were amazing. He was flexible and the price was extremely reasonable. I give him 100% backing. It turned out better than I could ever have imagined!

Jeff was amazing. he truly captured the day and was an absolute pleasure to work with. He caught so many incredible moments and we cherish the videos that he took. I also love the fact that he went above and beyond with the short clip. Not only did i cry watching it, but everyone else did too! I would highly recommend him for any event! Thank you so much for capturing this day, I love everything that I have seen and enjoy sharing it with those that couldn't be there.

Jeff was phenomenal to work with from the first email we sent him to the final video he produced. Jeff listened to our ideas and was able to perfectly capture everything that we had in mind. He responded quickly to every email we sent him. He was friendly and professional both in emails and at our event. Many of our guests commented that he was a pleasure to talk to as he made his way around the ballroom asking guests for advice or a message for us. Both our highlight video and our full length video were better than we could have imagined. We will cherish this special memory for years to come.

Jeff was fantastic!! Originally while planning we thought we didn't need a videographer, but we're so thankful we went with one, especially Jeff! He was punctual, courteous, easy to communicate with and worth every penny! He went above and beyond my expectations, and was a real trooper during our ridiculously HOT wedding day! The final product was amazing and it was so fun to see the whole day unfold all over again. Jeff did a great job capturing the most special memories of our wedding day, even ones we didn't know he caught. He even offered to send us a draft of the video to review and he catered to our requests to help make our video special to us. All around great guy, wonderful work, and all for a great price. Even though we weren't originally planning on having a videographer it was well worth the money, and looking back I can't imagine not having one. Jeff managed to capture memories that we will cherish for many years to come. I would highly recommend him to capture your wedding day memories!! Thank you Jeff for making our wedding day extra special and for the wonderful moments you captured!

Jeff had made the suggestion to have our guests give marriage advice and we were so glad he did. We would highly recommend Athenas Eyes for your wedding.

Pleasant and courteous service. Jeff maintained excellent communication lines in the months and days leading up to the big day. His professionalism ensured a smooth process of videotaping as well as catering to any request that we or the other vendors had. His offer to come to the rehearsal and send us drafts of the final product were very generous and thoughtful. We could not have asked for a better videographer. God bless Jeff!
