I truly can't say enough great things about working with Elegante Media!!! Mark/Oscar were recommended by our photographer, and from the get go they were easygoing, flexible, and great to work with. I even had a bit of an "unusual" request where I asked if they could pull my grandparents aside to get their relationship advice on video, and they were happy to fit this into the schedule.
Day-of...you know how sometimes you meet people, and you just immediately hit if off and understand each others personalities? That's exactly how it felt with Mark and Oscar. My husband and I didn't want our wedding to be too serious; we're sarcastic and laid back and wanted the day to feel like us. Mark and Oscar goofed around with us, but still managed to capture some AMAZING footage (we even had a drone!!!) and incorporate key moments from our day. They turned our teaser video out SO fast and were open to feedback on our full wedding video with the edits we looked to make.
If you are looking for a videographer, I can't recommend Elegante Media enough. They were truly one of our favorite vendors we hired and I can't imagine having gone with anyone else - my husband and I have talked about needing to plan another big event just so we can hire them again!!!
Oscar at Elegante Media and his team are the best!! He was so professional, accommodating and friendly from the very start, before we signed out contract all the way through the finals edits of our highlight video. He was so patient as we went back and forth with our edits to make the final product our dream. We would definitely recommend!!
Elegante Media did such an amazing job capturing our wedding day! We were so so happy with our highlights video and received many compliments on how beautiful it was! Everyone from Elegante Media was very professional and easy to get along with. Oscar was very helpful during the consultation and answered questions promptly. We highly recommend using Elegante Media to capture your special day!!
We hired elegante media off of the recommendation of our photographer, and what a great choice that was! I was not sure I needed a videographer AND photos, but am THRILLED we added this on. The highlight video brought us to tears the first time we watched it and have watched it about 20 times since. All the details were captured flawlessly and the final product was breathtaking. Oscar was so responsive during the planning process and both Eric and Mark were amazing day of. Couldn't recommend this vendor enough!!
As a fellow vendor who had the pleasure of working alongside Oscar at a recent wedding, I can't emphasize enough what an absolute delight it was to collaborate with them!
Oscar is the epitome of professionalism and talent. Their commitment to capturing the most exquisite moments of the day while seamlessly coordinating with the entire vendor team is truly commendable. Their attention to detail and dedication to perfection shine through in every frame they capture.
From a vendor's perspective, it's incredibly reassuring to work with someone who not only delivers top-tier results but also fosters a collaborative and FUN working environment. Oscar consistently went above and beyond to ensure that everyone's needs were met, and their friendly demeanor made the day even more enjoyable.
I cannot wait to see the end product and the stunning wedding video they create. I look forward to the opportunity to work with them again and would highly recommend their services to any couple looking for a wedding videographer.
Thank you,Oscar, for making our collaborative experience truly memorable and for delivering exceptional results that exceeded all expectations!
We couldn't have asked for a better wedding videographer. From the first phone call with him it was clear that he and his team are professionals who put a lot of time and attention into each video. Oscar really took the time to understand our what we were looking for in a video, and he brought it to life in the most incredible way. He even used one of our favorite songs as the background for the highlight video and it was just perfect.
Our wedding highlight video highlighted all the joy and love that everyone was feeling that day and we love watching it because it really does remind us how great of a day it was! We will treasure our wedding video forever and can’t thank Elegante enough for providing us with this keepsake. If you're looking for a professional, talented, and kind videographer, we absolutely recommend Oscar!!!
We could not be happier with how our wedding video turned out! We've watched it so many times already, and we get emotional watching it back every single time. Before getting married, I never thought about how much of the actual day you forget once it's over. Being able to relive so many favorite memories is truly invaluable. Elegante Media knows their craft well and make your moments beautifully.
Oscar was wonderful to work with throughout the entire process. He does a thorough job of making sure he understands your style and that all of the most important things are captured. And on top of that, his two associates were a joy to be alongside with throughout the actual wedding day. Having vendors with awesome personalities is such a key part of the entire experience. I cannot recommend this team enough for your wedding day!
Oscar and the Elegante Media team were so great and easy to work with throughout our whole wedding process! Elegante Media was recommended to us to us by our band. We worked with Oscar from the beginning- we loved his energy and his passion for what he does. He was a great communicator and really listened to what my husband and I wanted for our big day and what our vision was. He did not rush any meetings and really took everything we were looking for into account. On the day of our wedding, the team showed up a few minutes early and brought great energy to my bridesmaids and I getting ready for the day! It was seamless- the recording did not feel forced and they really captured some great candid moments. We got our videos back in the time frame that we were told, both our highlight reel and our documentary film. Both films looked beyond amazing and made me cry as it brought me back to our special day! All of the detail and thought that went into it was truly amazing. Oscar allowed us to make a few changes to our highlight reel and was very understanding about what we wanted to showcase. I would definitely use Elegante Media again, and would recommend them to any couple looking for a wedding videographer! :)
I could not recommend Elegante Media more!!! From my preliminary phone call with Oscar, I knew I could trust his work ethic, talent, and vision completely. He is so easy to talk to and made the entire experience so fun and relaxed. Working with him and his team during my wedding weekend was a total blast - I knew that I was in great hands and that he and his team would produce a wonderful wedding video... and wow, did they deliver! The highlights video they finalized was so beautiful, emotional, and showcased so many incredible moments of our wedding weekend. Oscar is a true artist. Please do yourself a favor by hiring Elegante Media, you will end up with the most gorgeous wedding videos!
My husband and I heard about elegante media through friends who has use them at their weddings. After seeing Oscar and his team's work, I knew he was the one we were picking for our wedding video. Chris, our videographer, was professional, attentive to details, patient, kind, and gave us directions for posing, which all paid off. We got our highlights film back, and it brings us back to to re living our special day again.
Oscar and his team at Elegante Media are amazing to work with and exceeded all our expectations for our wedding video. He previously worked with my sister for her wedding and after seeing what was put together my husband and I knew that when we were planning our wedding that we wanted to work with him. He took all the special moments and really brought them to life into a memory we'll cherish forever. We'd recommend Elegante Media to anyone who wants a true once in a lifetime video!
We are so impressed with Elegante Media. They did such an amazing job with our wedding video and we could not be happier with how everything turned out! Mark was a joy to have around on the wedding day. He was very professional and thorough, and somehow managed to get footage of every little detail. He definitely brought a good energy to our day and made everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera. Oscar was also amazing to work with throughout the entire process. He was open to suggestions and welcomed our feedback. The result was the most perfectly shot and edited wedding highlight film that exceeded all of our expectations. We look forward to watching it for years to come. Highly recommend Elegante Media!
Oscar was wonderful to work with!! He made it seem super easy and fun! Our video exceeded our expectations 🥰
We were on a tight timeline, but I loved Oscar's aesthetic and videography and was so grateful that he was available for our wedding on 8/15/21. He is so friendly and easy to work with, but he is also the consummate professional. He was always available and easy to get a hold of for any questions or concerns I had leading up to the big day.
On the day of our wedding, he and his partner showed up on time; Oscar was assigned to my bridal suite and his partner was assigned to my now husband's suite. They requested a list of all of my "must have" shots and got them all! They also were able to capture so many other special moments that I hadn't even requested, but am so glad to have now. I am so happy to have requested the additional "documentary" add-on, as our entire wedding day went by so quickly that I'm so happy to be able to relive all of these amazing memories. The end product (the videos) are works of art in themselves. The editing is perfect and Oscar is happy to accommodate your suggestions or any changes you would like to make. It was such a pleasure working with Oscar, and I can 100% without a doubt recommend Oscar and the Elegante Media team for your wedding or any event that you may have.
As a wedding vendor myself, I have the opportunity to work with some of the industry's best providers. I am happy to report how thrilled I am to have worked with Elegante Media--some of the best in the business! For me, personality, talent and diligence are keys to a successful event, and Elegante Media delivers on all counts! They're fun and hardworking...and the result is top-notch!
We hired Oscar pre-pandemic and he stuck with us the entire time. I loved working with him, he was very easy going and such a down to earth personality that it made the entire process go that much smoother. Unfortunately he wasn't able to personally be there to document our wedding due to a date change but the team he provided, Mark & Julian were amazing. They were extremely helpful and funny on the day of and put up with all of our jokes and shenanigans.
The highlights video is incredible, I've had so many people compliment the crispness of the video and the smoothness of the transitions. Just top notch editing. My wife and I highly HIGHLY recommend using them.
We originally hired Oscar and his team in 2019 for our September 2020 wedding. Oscar was incredibly flexible and understanding when we re-booked our wedding reception to August 2021 due to COVID. In the weeks leading up to our reception, he reached out, helped finalize our timeline and manage our expectations with the team. We couldn't have been more thrilled with the finished product! He incorporated all of our requests and we were so impressed by his attention to detail. Thank you Oscar for capturing our special day!
Oscar and Mark were a pleasure to work with for our wedding! To start, Oscar was very informative during our initial call, and was able to answer any questions we had. The payment options were very easy as well, ½ payment down once we signed a contract followed by the remaining payment due about a week before the wedding. You might not think this is a big deal, but it made life so much easier not having to remember to give the payment to the vendor the day of the wedding especially when you already have so much going on. About a month or two before the wedding Oscar called to help create a timeline for our day which we used to help other vendors determine what time they had to be at our venues ect. And they sent out many questionnaires to determine exactly how you want your wedding video to be. As my now husband and I were doing a Russian wedding at a Russian venue there were a lot of nuances such as many toasts, lots of breaks, dancing, and lots of food and Oscar was able to accommodate for all that time. There was never a minute that Oscar and Mark weren’t capturing all the events going on the day of the wedding, and they just had the best personalities which made working with them that much better. I cannot wait to see the final product!
We originally booked Oscar in 2019 for our July 2020 wedding, which was postponed and Oscar was graciously flexible to work with us on our new date in July 2021.
Oscar was a joy to work with, he provided incredible recommendations for our photo and video locations, and delivered such a beautiful product in the promised turnaround time. It was also really important to me that the person we hired not only delivered a great video, but also a good person; and Oscar gave me that impression from the moment we had our first call. He's very down to earth, genuine, and the person you want around you capturing your most special moments on your big day. I would book him again, and highly recommend! Thanks so much Oscar and team, you all are incredible :)
Oscar was so awesome to work with! I definitely recommend him for your wedding videographer. A few weeks before my wedding I made a last minute decision to add a videographer for the day. I contacted Oscar after seeing a video of his on Facebook. He was so nice, organized, and easy going on the phone. He was able to work with me on such a short timeline. I was initially hesitant of having video cameras the day of but you would have never known everything was being recorded. Oscar and his assistant blend right in and everything is done so seamlessly. Most importantly I cry every time I watch the video it was done so beautifully!
If you are contemplating who to use as your videographer, stop right now and choose Oscar! I can't tell you how many people told me they cried watching our highlight video. It was amazing! We completely changed our plans, due to COVID, and Oscar was there to support us along the way. He is extremely creative with the work he does. Most of all he is a genuine, amazing, passionate, human being. Don't hesitate to choose him! You will not be disappointed!
I can't say enough good words about Elegante Media! From the beginning process talking with the owner, Oscar, about my vision for our wedding film to the day of our wedding with Mark as our videographer... Our experience was absolutely perfect!! Mark was awesome to spend the day with and he got the most amazing footage! I'd recommend Elegante always.
I would 10/10 recommend Elegante Media for a videographer for your wedding! We had the best experience working with Oscar leading up to our wedding day and the day of. My husband at first was hesitant about having a videographer with the thought that it would be distracting during the ceremony and reception, and that it was an added expense. But Oscar did an amazing job being discrete while also capturing the details throughout the day.
Wedding photos are great to have, but having a video highlighting the special moments from getting ready, the first look, taking photos around the city, the ceremony, speeches, first dances and reception makes you feel like you are acutally reliving the day as you watch it. We originally chose to purchase the highlight film, but after seeing it there was no hestitant that we needed to get the additional footage of the full ceremony, speeches, first dances, etc.
Oscar was great to work with and ensured he understood what we wanted out of the highlight film by having us fill out a questionnaire along with what important parts of the day we wanted captured. His film editing skills are amazing and we absolutely LOVE our highlight film. If you are looking for a professional, talented and friendly videographer for your wedding, work with Elegante Media!
We cannot say enough great things about Oscar! He has been so helpful from the beginning and even during our intimate ceremony due to COVID-19, he still came in with enthusiasm and professionalism on our special day! Thank you Oscar for making our makeshift wedding ceremony still as special as ever! We cannot wait to see the footage from our ceremony!
Oscar is the best to work with! He is punctual on the day and catches all the important moments without you knowing he’s even there!
Our highlights video was amazing but our documentary was what really made me so happy that we went with Oscar. He brought such a smile to my face with the documentary I struggled remembering the day because of how quickly it went and I can’t express to my appreciation for how he captured all of it and the beautiful work you did. I wish I more friends getting married to refer to him! name. Oscar are truly an amazing artist.
I was referred to Oscar by my photographer Kay Warner and I couldn't be more impressed. Oscar is communicative, organized, kind, professional, and unbelievably talented!! on the day of our wedding, Oscar and Nick were a blast to work with and seem to truly enjoy their work. we just got our wedding highlights video today and we were sobbing babies! it turned out more beautiful than I could have imagined! if you need a videographer, choose Elegante Media and you won't be disappointed!
Oscar was amazing to work with from start to finish. His communication was always returned promptly and he set up a call prior to our big day to go over all of the details. Julian was also great the day of. We felt in great hands the whole time and we absolutely love our highlights video. Highly recommend!
Oscar was the best! We are in love with our video. He was so easy to work with, very responsive, and friendly. He also added clips to our video that we specifically requested. Can’t recommend him enough. You will want this memory to have forever. Oscar is your guy.
Oscar and Mark were amazing to work with. They were extremely personable, professional, and timely. They were on top of everything throughout the process and made us feel so comfortable on the actual wedding day. Our video turned out even more amazing then I could have imagined! I have gotten endless compliments, and I would recommend them to anyone and everyone.
All I can say was I was absolutely blown away by our wedding video and how it turned out! I never had any doubts to begin with, but somehow Oscar managed to exceed my already high expectations. From the beginning, he was so helpful and so quick to respond to all of my questions. He went above and beyond to make sure my requests were included in the video. My main concern was trying to capture my youngest sister’s memory who passed recently, and he beautifully did it in a way that made us feel like she was there on our wedding day. He’s one of the easiest and nicest people I’ve dealt with professionally. Don’t think twice to book him if you have the opportunity. You will not regret it, and I cannot thank Oscar enough for making our wedding video something truly special. He has a god given talent!
Finding a videographer was not the easiest task until I spoke to Oscar. Right away I knew he was so sincere and genuine and only wanted to produce beautiful films for his clients. His amazing communication through all the months kept us on top of payments and plans. He was so flexible and truly willing to create exactly what we wanted. Our video has only been posted for a few hours and I have numerous people commenting on how much they love it. Oscar and his other videographers are incredibly nice and truly made us feel like they weren’t even there but still had so much fun with us. 1 million percent recommend!!
When we first met Oscar, we knew he was the perfect fit for us. He is the laid back and organized person that you want to work with on your wedding day. He took the time to meet with us and make sure we were on the same page and our results were perfect! All of our friends and family happy cried when we watched the video and we are thrilled that we we get to have these memories for the rest of our lives! We would highly recommend working with Oscar to capture your special day!
Oscar was amazing to work with! Very accommodating and always responded ASAP to any of our questions or concerns. I'm so glad our friend recommended their services! Our teaser trailer and highlight film are beautiful reminders of our special day, and the documentary film includes the rest of the small details :)
We're so happy with our decision and can't thank Oscar and his team enough!
I cannot say enough about Oscar and his team! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAMAZING!!!!!!!!!! loved his patience and communication thru out our day! I am so happy I was referred to him! Absolutely amazing! A must have for wedding event and it HAS to be Elegante Media.
Professional
Communicative
Patience
Organized
Patience HAHA!
Amazing!
I am so thrilled that we chose to work with Oscar for our wedding day video coverage. He took the time to meet with me over the phone (with a 6 hour time difference from HI) in preparation for our wedding weekend, which helped us to build our vision. I didn't have to worry about guidance on our wedding day, as he took over and made all the magic happen in the background as we celebrated with our loved ones. The teaser video and highlight video he made us are so special. He captured the joy of the day so perfectly, and created videos that felt like us. The music he chose was perfect as well. Another thing I loved was that we did not originally purchase the package where we would receive all the raw footage from our wedding day or a documentary edit of the film, but he holds this footage for a year to give you the option of purchasing later. After our wedding, I realized I really wanted all the rest of the footage, so I was able to go back and work with him to get that! I would highly recommend working with Elegante Media if you want a kind, organized, creative professional!
Let me start with one word- SPECTACULAR. Since day 1 Oscar was great with us. He makes sure to get to know you as a couple to make your experience perfect-literally! He takes the time to make in-person appointments with you to go over all details needed. Not only was he a great videographer, but he helped us find other vendors as well with no hesitation! He puts YOU first and it shows in his personality and his passion for videography. Just taking a look at his videos on his website/facebook page, you can see the top notch quality and effort poured into each video. He is super fast at responding which as a bride and groom, is very important in a vendor. In all honesty, if you are truly looking for a talented, amazing and overall grand videographer - just stop here: know that you have found the one!
Oh my gosh! I cannot say enough about Oscar and his team. He did such an amazing job capturing our big day and rehearsal dinner. He delivered the highlight video and documentary edit earlier than we had anticipated and it was everything we could dream of and more. He has such talent and is so easy to work with. We asked for a few additional edits to our highlight video (like include more reception dancing) and within a few hours he had edited it and given it back to us to review! If you are looking for a videographer, look no further than Elegante Media. You will not regret it!!
The best ever - 5 stars is not enough!! Oscar was one of the best decisions that we made for our February 16th wedding at the gorgeous Salvage One in West Loop Chicago. If his work alone didn't sell Elegante Media Chicago to us from the beginning, the reasonable prices, close attention to detail, communication, and his sweet personality in general would have definitely sealed the deal.
After a brief introduction over the phone, Oscar, my husband Kevin and I met for a pizza and some beer at one of our favorite neighborhood places... and I highly suggest taking Oscar out!! We had such an awesome time getting to know each other and we believe that our videos are so special to us because they really capture who we are and what we love most about each other and our wedding day. We feel that after spending some time together beforehand, Oscar knew exactly how we wanted our love to be captured and showed. I still tear up every time I watch the videos!
It was our absolute pleasure to have Oscar with us on our wedding day. He's a perfect mix of pure talent and kindness and everyone felt so comfortable and relaxed having him around. Oscar truly did a better job that I could have ever imagined or hoped for, and I know that we'll share a pizza again someday!
THANK YOU OSCAR!
I had the opportunity to see Oscar in action as a bride, bridesmaid and guest. I was extremely impressed with his work and his ability to capture so many special moments. Being able to watch his videos from all 3 weddings really solidified how talented he is and how much he cares about the couples he’s filming. Hiring Oscar was one of the best decisions we made. I would recommend him over and over again!
Hiring Oscar was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! From the moment we first chatted on the phone, Oscar was friendly, professional, and made us feel at ease. Leading up to the wedding he took the time to check in regularly to make sure he was truly getting to know/understand us and what we wanted out of a video, as well as answer any questions and make sure we felt comfortable with the decision. When Oscar found out that an important family birth may overlap with our wedding date he reached out right away and offered us the option of backing out of our contract at no cost, going with a friend of his, or talking it through some more. His honesty and transparency made us even happier that we'd made the decision to go with him in the first place and we could tell that Oscar would do anything he could to make sure we got the video of our dreams. Luckily there was a healthy birth a few weeks before our wedding and Oscar was present and alert all day. He was everywhere and nowhere all at once -- he captured every important moment from our day, but we could barely feel that he was there which is exactly what we wanted. Fast forward to less than a month after our wedding and we have already received our wedding video -- and it is phenomenal!! Despite going through a busy time of the year -- and life -- Oscar delivered on everything we asked for with complete perfection in a fraction of the time it takes some other companies. For so many reasons I highly recommend you go with Oscar/Elegante as your videographer -- I promise that he will not disappoint!
We truly enjoyed using Elegante Media Chicago for our videographer for the wedding. Oscar was great at communicating throughout the whole wedding planning process and was extremely accommodating of what we were looking for. He also reached out to my photographers to make sure everything would run smoothly on the day of the wedding. It is evident that Oscar is professional and hardworking and creates a special product that will forever remind us of the best day of our lives. I would definitely recommend this company!
WOW. Let me start off with that finding a great videographer for a reasonable cost was one of our top priorities when we started planning our wedding. After weeks of looking online and not finding anyone that I felt connected to through their films, I stumbled upon Elegante Media on The Knot. At the time there were only three videos up but, I figured I’ll watch the most recent one anyway because what person doesn’t like wedding films? After that video, I grabbed my husband, made him watch it and I told him, “He’s the one, contact him,” and boy was I right. Oscar makes magic happen without you even feeling like he’s there. He took the time to go over our wedding timeline and helped make sure that everything for the day of would flow beautifully. You can tell that he really loves what he’s doing through the films and it was so important for me that, that came across in our film. Watching that film back makes me feel like I am reliving that day again and it’s a beautiful feeling. My biggest piece of advice is to have a videographer at your wedding and my biggest recommendation is to have Elegante Media at your wedding. Oscar continues to get more amazing wedding after wedding and I am so thankful that I found him and that he had our date available. I can’t even begin to express my gratitude for such a beautifullyy captured memory.
Many couples end up cutting videography from their budget. While I myself debated whether or not it was a "must-have", I am SO happy I decided to move forward with hiring Elegante Media. From the very beginning, Oscar was incredibly helpful in answering all of my questions and even helping me build out my day-of timeline.
On the wedding day, Oscar was punctual and very professional. What impressed me most, was he managed to capture all of the important moments without my husband and I feeling like there was a camera in our face all day. In fact, most of the time I forgot we were being filmed.
We are so incredibly pleased with the final product. Both the highlights video and the full feature video turned out amazing. The wedding day goes by so quickly, so it is truly amazing to have those memories captured forever.
Lastly, I just wanted to compliment Oscar's communication. He truly went above and beyond to check in with me prior to the wedding and even afterwards providing me with the status updates.--moreso than any other vendor I worked with
I highly, highly recommend Elegante Media. You will not regret it! In fact, my maid of honor already hired Oscar for her wedding next year :)
My husband and I couldn't be happier about hiring Elegante Media Chicago for our wedding day! Oscar was an absolute pleasure to work with. He took the time to really get to know my husband and I, and to really understand what we were looking for in our wedding video. He sent example full length and highlight films before we signed anything, which we really appreciated. My husband and I were initially hesitant about hiring a videographer for our wedding, as we didn't want cameras/lighting in the way of our guests or disrupting our ceremony. I can honestly say that I don't remember seeing Oscar, his assistant, and/or a camera one time at our venue! They did such a great job in making sure all cameras were in discrete locations, and nothing was disruptive or in the way during the ceremony, speeches, first dances, etc. Oscar and his team also worked very well with our photographer, and he also made sure to reach out to our venue before the wedding in order to get any questions answered, etc. We couldn't be happier with our decision to work with Elegante Media Chicago, and we'd recommend them to anyone and everyone for their wedding day!
Hiring Elegante Media Chicago was one of the best choices I made during the wedding planning process!! When I first heard of the company, I reached out, and Oscar spent nearly an hour on the phone with me going over exactly how I envisioned my wedding video! He was then very understanding as I went back and forth about hiring a videographer, since I had to make room in the budget for it (and really didn't make it official until very close to the wedding!)! On the actual wedding day, Oscar felt like part of the family! My photographer was a childhood friend, and the DJ was a coworker of my husband's, so I really wanted to find a videographer who would fit in with so many people who already knew each other! He did just that, and really felt like part of the party. He made me feel like the most relaxed bride during the whole day, and I could go on and on about how much I love our highlights video. Every aspect of our wedding was in the video, the quality was amazing, and I truly don't understand how he was able to capture everything so perfectly. He even incorporated footage my family sent in from the proposal and rehearsal dinner! You won't find better quality, attention to detail, or care for the client anywhere else. Wedding planning can be so stressful, but the decision to hire Elegante Media Chicago should not be!! I'm so thankful for this perfect keepsake from our perfect day!!
Oscar was incredible to work with! Everything went so smooth from the planning prior to the wedding to the day of. He worked very well with my photographer and we loved all of the moments he captured. The highlight video was amazing! Prior to making it he asked us what was wanted and it was exactly how we envisioned. I have not stopped getting compliments about our highlight video, very well done. The prices for the entire package that we got was very reasonable compared to other companies I researched and the quality is even better.
Oscar has been a great partner for our wedding. He was very communicative and friendly during the prep process, setting up expectations for the wedding day process and video production timeline. We went through the timeline a month prior to our wedding, and Oscar brought his experience to advise us on other aspects of the wedding, including games, creative shots, etc.
He had an additional staff working with him, both were non-intrusive and creative. They produced a wedding highlight video that brought our guests to tears.
He has a two-person team and he treats each client as a unique love story, documenting happiness are tears of that story.
Highly recommend Oscar!
Thanks,
Qing
One of the best decisions I made was hiring Oscar to be our videographer!! He is extremely meticulous, so passionate about his work and so professional! We chatted with Oscar and knew he would be perfect! We hired him and then had the opportunity to meet him at my best friends wedding that he was shooting and he took the time to chat with me that day and even went out of his way to say goodbye to me & my fiance! The weeks leading up to the wedding we connected with him & he sent me a detailed timeline that i didnt even know i needed but i definitely needed!! The day of he was on time and kept us on schedule. Oscar is SO friendly and SO easy to chat with which made our wedding day that much better! He worked so well with my photographer and they worked together to get some great shots! I very much wanted sunset photos and they made it happen for me!! We were so pleasantly surprised to receive our teaser trailer the day after our wedding!! He knew we were leaving for our honeymoon and we were so surprised to get our teaser trailer which was absolutely perfect!! My family & friends are all in awe of just how beautifully Oscar captured our day in just a short 30 second teaser trailer! As i mentioned before, he is so passionate about his work and it shows!! Oscar is a talented videographer and an even better person so do yourself a favor and HIRE HIM!! I know i'll see him again soon because I will continue to recommend him to all of my friends and family! Thank you, Oscar!
We loved working with Oscar! He was polite, professional, and willing to accommodate for anything we requested. He also was awesome with the communincation so we were always in the loop, which was great! We are so excited to see our videos!
Oscar was so wonderful to work with. After starting his own company, he did not have many examples of his work for us to base our decision off of but his after talking to him we knew he was the right fit for us. He is such a wonderful guy and extremely pleasant to work with. After booking him for our wedding and seeing the videos he began to produce leading up to our wedding we couldn't be more excited to see what he would do with our special day. On the day of, he was extremely easy going and really did stay in the background which made for a more candid video. We could not be more pleased with our highlight video and full length video. He captured such special moments and really understood what was important to us by personalizing our video to fit us perfectly. He really was an amazing videographer and for sure one of our favorite vendors from that day! His work exceeds his price and it completely shows.
Working with Oscar was such a pleasure. He was so organized which helped ourselves be more organized. He was extremely professional. He responded to all of our questions and requests with a sense of urgency. He went above and beyond expectations on our wedding day. Such a quick turnaround. Our teaser trailer was prepared days ahead of the timeline we were given.
Such an amazing experience. Thank you for capturing our day Oscar.
Let me start with, I never EVER write reviews. I live by reviews when ordering or hiring, but can’t seem to find the time to write them. However, there is absolute no way I could not write a review for Elegante Media Chicago and Oscar. From the moment I spoke to Oscar, in the beginning stages of wedding planning, I could tell how well he treats his customers and I knew he was going to be amazing come the big day. Oscar took time to get to know about my husband and I and even offered help with other aspects of our wedding such as the timeline. He gave an honest opinion when I was on the fence about things and told me about his own personal experiences from being in the wedding business for so long. I knew I could trust him with anything I needed. The day of, Oscar was so SO pleasant to work with and I felt so comfortable having him there. Once the wedding started, I didn’t even realize he was around, but the video tells a different story. We chose the highlights video and it is 100% pure bliss. How Oscar took 12 hours of footage and chose all the right parts for an 8 minute video is beyond me, but he did. He chose exactly the right moments and my husband and I can literally feel all of the emotions we had on the wedding day as we watch it. All of our friends and family are blown away, the amount of comments we received, tears shed and smiles made after sharing our video was outstanding. Even some of the “toughest” guys who watched it said it almost brought them to tears. My husband and I have watched it over and over again and every single time we are in awe. I think the icing on the cake was when my Photographer told me how amazing Oscar was to work with and that she was also blown away with him and will be referring him to all of her clients. I know it can be difficult for the photographer and videographer to mesh as they are both trying to capture things, but not if your videographer is Oscar. I keep trying to think of another event that I would need video highlights of just so I can use Oscar again. But for now I will be referring Elegante Media Chicago to everyone and anyone I know.
If you are on the fence about hiring a videographer let me tell you it is some of the best, if not the best, money spent on a wedding. The finished product is truly a treasure and we cannot wait to show it to our children one day.
Elegante was amazing!! Working with Oscar was so easy and fun and we really appreciate all of his hard work. My husband and I had a traditional Orthodox Jewish wedding and Oscar was so amazing about learning all of the details that go into this kind of ceremony and party. He worked so hard and was so professional before, during and after the wedding. We LOVE how our video came out and Oscar and his assistant really did so well at capturing all of the important moments!! We are so happy with his work and we would definitely recommend using Elegante!
Elegante Media was a key piece of our wedding that we almost passed on because we didn't think we needed a videographer... My husband and I are so glad that we made the choice to work with Oscar. He was responsive, careful to address what we wanted, and his attention to detail was impeccable. He captured moments that we were too busy to realize were even happening so getting to see our highlights video was a fantastic way to relive the day. We will cherish the memories captured forever.
We were extremely happy with all aspects of the videography services offered and thought that the pricing was really good. A bonus was that Oscar worked really well with our other vendors and was really good at communicating with them which helped make our day run seamlessly. We would 100% recommend Elegante Media Chicago to anyone looking for a wedding videographer.
The decision to get a videographer was one of the last I made for my wedding and probably one of the best! Oscar at Elegante Media made me laugh and cry in our first phone conversation; after hanging up, I knew I didn't need to call anyone else - he was the guy for us! During the wedding day, he and his team were extremely professional and honestly, I didn't even really feel like they were there. But after, seeing the finished products, you realize he was with you every step of the way, capturing ever perfect moments of your big day. I opted for the two minute teaser trailer, which I couldn't even get over how amazing it was. The music, the clips he chose, it makes me smile just writing about it. Plus it is wonderful to share on social media as most people’s attention span is limited . The Highlight film came a few weeks later, and words can’t described what a perfect video it was. Oscar made sure to understand what was important us and to make that the focal point for the highlight clip. When watching it for the first time, my husband and I cried, laugh and honestly just watched in awe as the memories of our wedding day came flooding back. The full video was icing on the cake and again, Oscar didn’t disappoint. I know many couples are on the fence about getting a videographer – I know my now husband didn’t want to hirer one. After seeing the finished products though, he was more than happy that I chose to go with one and especially chose Oscar, as these memories are so much better captured on film. Oscar and Elegante Media, I thank you so much for an amazing job, you can tell this is really a passion for you.
My husband and I are still in awe over our video, we couldn't be any happier with it and we couldn't have asked for a better videographer. From start to finish Oscar was amazing to work with. We live in Texas so we did a lot of our wedding planning from a distance as our wedding was in Lake Geneva, WI. Oscar's attention to detail with everything attributed to our video capturing everything we could have wanted. We have received so many rave reviews on our highlight film and it makes my husband and I smile every single time we get to re-watch over and over again. Oscar took the time to make sure he captured everything my husband and I wanted with this video; his questionnaire, consistent follow up, easy communication, and all around great personality made this something we didn't have to stress about and we LOVED that. We would recommend Oscar to anyone who needs an AMAZING videographer for their wedding, we honestly couldn't be happier with what we received.
Oscar, thank you so much again for all of your hard work and making such an amazing video, but thank you even more for capturing OUR favorite memories!
Chad and I cannot be more thankful to have found Oscar and Elegante Media Chicago! We were not sure at first about hiring a videographer for our wedding, but it is now one of the best decisions we have made! Oscar was so kind and exceeded all of our expectations. We loved that we were able to share our videos with loved ones that were not able to make it and to watch our videos over and over again! We loved our videos so much that we decided to selected the raw footage add-on because it gave us even more intimate moments for us so share and look back on. Oscar was always very responsive leading up to our wedding, which gave us such piece of mind since wedding planning is so stressful! Even after our wedding, he always kept us in the loop about when we could expect our to view our videos for the first time! We are forever grateful for finding Oscar and Elegante Media Chicago!
The fact that we found Oscar at Elegante Media was a miracle. We decided on a hiring a videographer late in the game, and it was the best decision! From the beginning Oscar was very responsive, super helpful, completely organized, patient and so welcoming. Our video was perfect. We are so happy with all of the moments he captured and the way he incorporated them into our video. We will have this keepsake forever. Every person and moment we asked to be included in our highlight video was. Elegante Media is the best and you will not be disappointed!!
Working with Oscar at Elegante Media Chicago was one of the best decisions we made in our vendor choices! He is very responsive and timely, went above and behind with service and kindness, and if you have checked out any of his videos, you know the output speaks for itself: high quality. We trusted Oscar from the start. He took time out of his schedule to meet with us a few times, helped us with some ideas for our timeline and room layout, and even came prepared to our meeting with some research he had done on Hindu ceremonies. We knew we made the right choice. The video turned out amazing and we could not be happier. Oscar also brought a second shooter on our day who was very professional and did a great job. 5 stars in all aspects of his character and work!
I cannot begin to share how happy we are that we found Oscar at Elegante Media! We originally had not planned to have a videographer for our wedding due to budget but we moved some things around and booked Oscar about 2 months before our wedding. We are SO HAPPY we did! He is very kind, personable and easy to work with! He was very easy to communicate with and always responded to my notes within 24 hours. He provided our highlights film via weblink within the expected timeframe and our extended video a couple weeks after. The highlights film is beautiful and really captured the essence of our day! We are also very happy with the extended video as he captured our full ceremony and all the special moments (entrances, first dances, toasts, etc). We ended up getting the raw footage as well and are happy we did because there are some funny gems in it, haha! He put all the files on a cute keepsake USB and it was shipped to our home with no issues. Words can't begin to explain how happy we are that we have videos of of our day and can't wait to watch them over and over in the years ahead! Thanks again, Oscar!
My husband and I cannot say enough wonderful things about working with Elegante Media Chicago! Originally we were on the fence about adding a video into our wedding budget and now it is one of our most treasured purchases from the whole day! Oscar's prices are extremely fair and we are so happy to have both the highlights video as well as the ceremony, speeches, dances, etc. The wedding goes by so fast, we are SO happy that we have these clips forever saved and can relive the day with our friends and family. We were pretty particular with some requests on the style we wanted our highlights video and Oscar not only completely executed our vision, but also made it far better than we could have imagined. Oscar had great communication with us leading up to the wedding as well as with our other vendors so our whole team was on the same page. We cannot thank Oscar enough for the work he did and look forward to watching our videos for years and years to come! Thank you!!
Oscar was amazing to work with! I am so thankful he was available on my wedding day and we chose Elegante Media Chicago! He understood that I wanted someone to capture the moments without getting in the way! The videos turned out wonderful (watch for yourself!) And he was very easy to work with! He gave me his personal cellphone number so I could text him during the wedding if I needed anything! Highly recommend!!! :)
