Our video is absolutely beautiful. We’re especially grateful to have our ceremony and speeches recorded since those moments mean so much to us. I was originally on the fence about having a videographer, but they were worth every penny!

al, and they were great at being flies on the wall throughout our day. My husband and I were nervous about being on camera all day, but the team helped us feel so natural and it shows in the videos. The videographers were super friendly and their positive energy helped keep the filming parts of the day calm and fun. We also were so thrilled with how fast we received the videos, and were able to share with friends and family! The videos turned out great and we are so happy we have them to look back on the remember the feel of the day. Oakhouse was one of the easiest vendors to work with. We didn't have to worry about them throughout the whole wedding planning process and we would recommend them to anyone.

My husband and I are so grateful that we decided to book Oakhouse as our wedding videographer! The entire experience of working with them was so easy, seamless, fun, and exciting. ...
From the time we decided to book Oakhouse we had a couple of meetings to discuss our vision for the day, hopes and dreams, expectations and desires for our video and the moments we wanted to capture. Oakhouse helped us to make sure we felt heard and that we could entrust our dream to them and know that they would do an amazing job creating the footage behind the lens. Everyone at Oakhouse is so kind and easy to work with as well as very prompt with responsiveness which is important amidst the stress of wedding planning. We met our day of videographers a few weeks before our wedding day and she immediately helped to make us feel so heard, seen, celebrated, and very comfortable in her hands. Special shout out to Olivia!!! Thank you girl, you are amazing and have such a special art and talent!!! When we received our video we had to re-watch it at least 10 times haha. We are so in love to say the least, the video is so incredible and truly helps pull together lots of the special moments of the day into a shorter segment of time! Oakhouse helped to make our dream come true and we will cherish this video for all of our days!!

Watching it brought tears to our eyes and allowed us to relive the best day of our lives all over again. We also loved getting to watch the raw footage that was included in our package.
Beyond their incredible talent, Nick was a joy to communicate with—always prompt, friendly, and genuinely invested in making sure we were happy. We highly recommend Oakhouse Wedding films to capture your wedding day memories!

Additionally they shared all the raw footage which was so fun to watch - felt like we were reliving parts of the day!

He was always punctual and made sure he recorded every little detail from our wedding. in addition to that, I'd like to say when we were finalizing our package before the wedding and budgeting, Nick worked with us to make sure we were comfortable. and lastly our highlight came exactly a month after our wedding and reliving it was the most special time. My husband and I were both speechless. They did an amazing job and I am forever grateful for Nick, Mike and the entire team at Oakhouse. You guys made our wedding even more beautiful!

eo and their work!! We weren't sure if we wanted a videographer at first, but now my one piece of advice for brides (after experiencing their work/seeing the video) is to absolutely hire a wedding videographer, and even better, hire Oakhouse! The day is a blur, and Oakhouse captured so many moments that now we're able to re-live over and over again - it was the best reminder of our wedding day less than a month later!
We had Taylor and Paige as our videographers and they were both so friendly, talented, easy-going, and were not at all intrusive. They captured genuine moments without making us "re-do" anything or do anything outside of just being ourselves. I said to my husband that I don't remember seeing them for half the day, yet we have video to prove they were there to capture every moment. :) We are so so happy with Oakhouse and would absolutely recommend to other couples!

very professional and kind throughout the entire wedding day. They did a great job of capturing our wedding day without interrupting the big moments. They worked and collaborated very well with our photographer as well. Nick was easy going and gave off good, positive energy the entire time. He was very responsive to emails, flexible, and added changes we wanted with no problem. We really appreciate Oakhouse Wedding Films, especially Nick and Jackson for capturing our big day so that we can relive it by watching the footage they filmed. I highly recommend adding a short clip to your package that sums up your entire wedding day! They did an awesome job with this as well.
Choose Oakhouse Wedding Films to be your videographer! They even send Raw Footage from your entire wedding day, which has been so fun to watch. They are amazing to work with, hardworking, collaborative, flexible, and very kind!

ented videographer, Devin White, we could not be happier that we decided to add this vendor! From our initial conversations with Oakhouse, we knew that this company was the right one for us. They offered a variety of packages and we found one that not only matched our price point but also included everything that we wanted to assure would be captured on our big day-full ceremony officiated by one of our siblings, toasts, first dances, etc. Our videographer Devin spoke with us before our wedding day to answer any questions that we had and he also requested a list of all the special moments that we wanted on camera. On the day of our wedding, Devin was familiar with our venue and was extremely easy to work with-he made sure we felt special during each and every part of the day! Our package included a 3-minute highlight real and all of the raw footage from our day. We could not be happier with the products Devin and Oakhouse provided to us and we could not recommend this company enough! Check out our highlight real on Oakhouse's website-Jennifer & Joey Chicago 5.12.23.

Again can't recommend Oakhouse highly enough!
