Godfred was absolutely amazing to work with and his talent is beyond! We cannot recommend him enough. He knows exactly what to capture and his editing is unmatched. Looking through his content before we decided to work with him, it was clear that he takes time to customize the feel, energy, and vibes of his films to exactly who the couple is. He films are so much more cinematic, bespoke, and unique compared to a lot of other vendors we came across. He absolutely nailed it with our film too. It’s a perfect blend of our energy as a couple! We are so thrilled to have worked with him.
These films are lasting memories of the sounds and motions throughout our wedding day and were so thankful that we have them for the rest of our lives to look back on! Thank you thank you Godfred!

Working with Godfred for our wedding last November was such a joy. He made sure to take the time to get to know us ahead of our wedding date and masterfully navigated filming both our ceremony and reception on our marriage day. We were especially appreciative of how well he worked with our photography team. The cinematic video he made for us is shockingly beautiful and something we will forever treasure. I cannot recommend working with Godfred highly enough.

I stumbled across Gordino Photo and Video while doing a search for my own wedding back in 2023 (Our wedding was set for July 2024). After doing some research, and watching the trailers and films he created I knew I had to hire him. Godfred was one of the first vendors I booked. I used Gordino Photo and Video for videography for our wedding. From our initial phone conversation, Godfred listened to what was important to us to have captured that day. Meeting him on our wedding day he was calm, collected and very patient. He was approachable and really made you feel comfortable behind a camera! I would hire him again and again for events. We got our trailer back less than a week after our wedding and it was perfect. It had everything we had hoped for and more. I cannot wait to see the rest of the film he produces for us. If you are looking for a videographer for your wedding stop now and work with Gordino Photo and Video. We are so lucky we will have these videos to pass down and cherish for years and years to come.
Thank you again Godfred!!!

Godfred was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. He captured every moment flawlessly and worked very well with our wedding planner and photographers. The 3 videos he delivered gave us the perfect variety of choices when it came to sharing footage with our guests and family. He really took the time to understand the tone of the wedding. His outfit for the wedding also matched the vibe we were going for and I really appreciated that extra touch.
I hope I never have to get re-married, but if I do I'd go with Gordino Photo and Video again 100%!

I was hesitant to hire a videographer for our wedding, however when I saw Godfred's work - I knew he would be the right fit for us.
Godfred captured the videography for my Indian/Pakistani wedding in Chicago - I was blown away by his videography skills, timeliness, and overall incredible attitude. Godred was such a joy to have around on our wedding day - he was unbelievably kind and talented.
He was able to capture all the beautiful moments of our wedding day which we will cherish forever! Thank you so much.

Godfred was incredible to work with from start to finish. He is very efficient with time in the first meeting, thoroughly explaining the whole process, and what is included in our package.
The end product turned out to be more than we could've imagined, and beautifully captured one of the most important days of our lives. He not only captured raw footage from the day of our wedding, but also posed us for extra shots to add more fun and authenticity of the day, while also highlighting details that we would've missed without his footage. We would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a videographer for their wedding!

We got married on June 10th, 2023 in Chicago, Illinois and hired gordino photo and video for videography. Godfred was an amazing person to work with and made us feel very comfortable. He worked well with our photographers which is always a good thing! He was extremely professional the entire day and captured all of our favorite moments. The video quality and editing turned out amazing! We were ecstatic with the results. We were provided with a short trailer only a week after our wedding. This made us even more excited for the cinematic film and raw footage. And those did not disappoint! Everyone we showed them to absolutely loved it! Definitely recommend Godfrey to capture all your wedding memories!

I don't know where to begin with this review - I'll start by saying Gordino Photo and Video was the BEST decision we made for our wedding. We booked Gordino for their video/film services.
**Long review alert, but it's worth the read if you're looking for a wedding photographer/videographer**
Godfred was so fabulous to work with from the start. He's incredibly organized and made pre-wedding communication an absolute breeze. Godfred's professionalism and expertise continued on our wedding day. He worked so well with our photographers and he was so fun when shooting!! He had so many fun ideas that we never would've thought of, and made our photos/video shooting an absolute blast. He did such a great job at making us feel comfortable and relaxed. He also managed to capture all important moments seamlessly.
Now, the absolute best part of working with Gordino was the video MASTERPIECES that Godfred created. We purchased the teaser, the short film, and all the raw footage. He had our first teaser back to us within a week of our wedding!! The rest of the films came shortly after. It was SOOO exciting to relive our big day so quickly. I can't even put into words how unbelievable the videos/films Godfred created. Not only were we blown away, but all of our friends & family who saw it were in awe. He made us feel like our lives were a movie, it was like something out of the wedding in the Parent Trap :) These videos are something we will treasure for our entire lives - I can never thank Gordino enough for giving us memories that last a lifetime!!!
THANK YOU Gordino Photo and Video. If you're looking for an incredibly talented and professional photographer/videographer for your wedding day, I STRONGLY recommend Gordino Photo and Video!!

Godfred did such an amazing job with our video. The turn around was super quick (trailer after a few days and whole vid 1.5 weeks after). We also had a wonderful time working with him on the day-of. I've recommended him already to my maid of honor, whose wedding is in July, and would continue to do so.

Godfred was wonderful choice for a videographer.
His invoices were automated which made paying a seamless process. He was a great communicator. He also reached out early about a timeline so that he had a great working relationship with the other vendors onsite. Godfred showed up on time and ready to work.
Godfred captured the love story of my husband and I with artistry. He recorded the funnest and deepest parts of our wedding ceremony and reception. The trailer looked like it was advertising a block buster and the cinematic film a treasured archive.
Thank you Godfred !

So many wedding videographers, but who to choose?! Godfred from Gordino Photo and Video will absolutely make your vision to a reality. We booked him to cover our video needs on our special day. His work found on his YouTube channel and his website is proof that you should hire him immediately before he’s booked up!
He was professional, personable, on time, meshed very well with our photographer, and overall fit in every aspect of our day. His turn around time is amazing, which is pretty hard to come by if you want high quality cinematic work. Without a doubt, Godfred is a master of his craft.

He was SO patient and kind to us, our families, and our guests throughout our wedding day. Godfred came up with so many great ideas for our wedding reel and we absolutely LOVED how it turned out- we could not stop watching it!! He was also super timely and got our videos to us within the same month which I had not expected. I highly recommend him to video or photograph your special day!! Joey and I SO appreciate you and your talent!

Godfred is amazing !! I can’t stop raving about him because we truly had a wonderful experience with him. Not only was he able to accommodate my needs in such a short term notice , but he was super patient and understanding throughout the whole process . I felt blessed to have found Godfred (Gordino Photo and Video) on such a short period of time . I literally booked him a few weeks before my wedding day and I Godfred helped me with everything . Not only did he agree to change my bonus to an engagement photo session prior to the wedding day , but he also worked with me in terms of my timeline and changes of a typical wedding day schedule . I thank God so much for Godfred because I probably wouldn’t have any wonderful memories of such a special day if it hadn’t been for him . Thank you again Godfred for ALL your help every step of the way and always keeping that smile on . My photos reflect all my joy and happiness before and during the wedding . May God bless you abundantly . I highly recommend anyone looking for a true photographer who cares for his clients and is willing to listen to you and help you throughout the whole process .

Godfred captures moments elegantly and gracefully. It was his first time capturing a wedding of my background but he was open to understand my vision and the traditions. Easy to work with and responsive. He captured moments that I did not even know happened during my wedding, so it shows how active he is in making sure he is getting all the important shots during your day. I will always recommend him again and again.

Godfred was just fantastic to work with. Very responsive, high quality, great value. He got our wedding video back ahead of schedule and was kind enough to make a few edits (like creating a separate version with quieter music so my grandparents could hear our vows). Out of all of our vendors he by far exceeded expectations to most. His ability to be a part of all of the important moments without ever being "in the way" was truly top notch. My wife and I would highly, highly recommend Godfred for weddings and wedding-like events!

WOW, WOW, WOWWW!!!! Godfred is a true master of his art! We watched our wedding video last night. At first, I was a little worried that 7 minutes didn't seem like enough time, and with each passing scene, my tears fell faster and my heart grew more full! The wedding day goes by in a flash and he found a way to capture so many special moments. I don't know how he also seemed to know exactly who should be included in the video. You can tell that his attention to detail is really thorough. But beyond that, the work he turned around was ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS! From the style to the music to the content, it was perfect. We were beyond impressed and would hire him again in an instant! If you have any doubts at all, erase them. No need to look further. Gordino Photo and Video will not disappoint!!! He was also very detailed leading up to the event and answered any emails or questions i had very quickly. He is fantastic to work with, confident yet easy going, AND super talented. I can't say enough good things about him!

Godfred was amazing he got there earlier than scheduled to check out the place, he was professional and he made sure to capture every moment. He captured the authenticity of the wedding, the background stuff and the real stuff, not just the typical “perfect wedding” moments (I asked for that so I’m sure if that’s not your thing he would do it).
He was super nice and so easy to work with. I noticed he worked well with my photographer so they could both capture moments without getting in each other’s way.
We went crazy and purchased all three video options and they all turned out great! Cant wait to be able to share these memories and moments with my kids in the future!

We took our time to review most videographers and Gordino Photo and Video stood tall to us. And we were thrilled we went with Gordino photo and video. He took his time to walk us through every step and stage. I was amazed with the level of professionalism and expertise he has with the cameras. The video delivery to us makes us want to watch it over and over everyday. It was so organic and seemless, I would say could depict something like hollywood film. I will recommend Gordino Photo and Video a hundred times again and again.
