O'Grady Cinema

tention to details. I did not notice Michael at all, in the best way possible. He captured all the wonderful moments of the entire day but works in the background. From first contact to the end of our wedding day, communication with Michael was clear, timely, informative and easy. He is respectful, yet fun, in his interactions with the couple. We both enjoyed working with him. His product is a great advertisement for his talent, and pricing is reasonable! I highly recommend his services as his video captures moments from the day in a different way than only pictures. We have received our montage video, and we can’t wait to see our other videos! I have watched our montage video at least 20 times in the first week after receiving it!

eded during the day. The montage and all of the individual videos he sent us were unreal. They exceeded everything we imagined! O'Grady Cinema is simply the best, and Mike is a master behind the camera!

ptions - which is a great solution! We have shared our short video with close family and friends, and the results are always tears. Michael captured the energy and feel of the wedding. So perfectly, I had thought I remembered what it felt like on that day but the video brought me back like pictures couldn't. His videos (even the longer ones) are great to watch, he edits them well so they're interesting and tell a great story. The videos we have will truly be treasured for a lifetime. I am so glad we went with Michael, he was easy to work with, responsive, polite and never in the way. All that for a fantastic price! I'm very honest when I say he is a must-hire.

us feel comfortable behind the camera, while also having fun! We cannot wait to view our ceremony and other wedding highlights via film. Without hesitation, we would recommend Mike as your wedding videographer, as this was the biggest regret everyone said regarding wedding planning, not hiring one. We are thrilled we did, and went with O'Grady Cinema!

l and his second camera man were courteous, professional, and we hardly knew they were there aside from the posed shoots (obviously). The pricing was a great value considering the amount of footage he shot and the quality of the videos we received. I would recommend Michael to anyone who wants a high quality video montage. A lot of montages are very brief and seem overpriced compared to Michael's work.

mend Mike for any wedding! His rates are extremely reasonable and you are getting professional service and top notch video with him which is the best part!

olutely recommend using him! He was incredibly easy to work with prior to the wedding and fully understood the vision we wanted with our video. On the day of the wedding, he worked around our jam-packed schedule to capture all the big moments at several different locations. We did not make it easy on him, but he did an amazing job! He was professional, easy going, and made everyone feel comfortable. His ability to capture all the important shots while staying out of the way was also impressive. The end product fully captures not only the big moments but the emotions we felt during them. True storytelling at its finest. I am so glad we trusted Michael to capture it for us. It is something we'll treasure forever!

was over our videos arrived swiftly with excellent editing. O’Grady Cinema is highly recommended!

nal result. I am so glad we had Mike capture all of the special moments that we will cherish forever!

refer anyone to thus videographer.

or making this very special day a picture perfect memory we will forever cherish.

matography. In many ways, I cared more about video than photos because I think video has the opportunity to capture so much more emotion. When I came across Mike's work, it looked like he captured beautiful, unique moments. Not just your typical bride and groom smiling, but the deep emotion in the face of the bride and groom, the happiness of the wedding guests, laughter of the wedding party when getting ready - special moments that may have otherwise gone unnoticed. When we received our video, not only did my video live up to my VERY high expectations, but in fact surpassed them. Our video allows us to relive the most special moments from our wedding day and gives us a memory we will always cherish. Mike spent a lot of time editing to make the video flow smoothly, the footage was incredible, and the song selections made the whole video that much more special. Mike was also very accommodating to work with us on changing a couple minor things in the video after he sent us the first version. We have already watched our video numerous times and are so happy we will always be able to look back on the happiest day in our lives. It is also worth noting (and turns out to be VERY important the day of) that Mike was a dream to have on the day of the wedding. He was gentle, kind, did not get in anyone's way, made me feel comfortable, calmed my nerves, and was so easy to have around. This is truly priceless when there is so much intensity going on the day of the wedding. Go with Mike. You will not be disappointed.

es whenever I want :) The videos are super high quality and very thought out. Everyone we have showed them to loves them! We will definitely recommend your services to all of our friends and family. Thanks again!

ty - a memorialization of events- but instead got something that told a story of a relationship culminating in a wedding. Really, I thought I was viewing a Hollywood level production, with sound and images done with enormous care and quality. Prior to the wedding I had thought that a video was unnecessary. Now I feel that the video will stand as a memory of the wedding that will extend into future generations. Extraordinary job, Mike!

recommend O'Grady Cinema!!

chael was extremely calm and worked well with our two photographers on the wedding day. His assistant was also professional and eager to help. The montage is a MUST! Our 11 minute video captured the day in a beautiful cinematic style that we will always treasure. You will not be disappointed!

his stuff and is incredibly talented at what he does. I highly recommend him!!!! He won't disappoint!

efore the wedding, being so laid-back on our big day, and creating an awesome video- we loved every moment working with Mike. He did a GREAT JOB and we will be sure to use him for any future events!!

passion, attention to detail, and responsiveness made me feel excited to use him as our videographer. I felt anxious at times during the day, and he took the time to fan me and make sure I felt calm, which was so sweet! Mike created a beautiful video with all of our special moments and did not miss a beat. We could not recommend him enough!

her, he is a pleasure to work with. Mike's calm personality was welcomed on my wedding day and I appreciated having him around. Can't recommend him enough!

any of my bridezilla requests. Our video turned out BEAUTIFUL and a true keepsake for years to come. After an issue with our band during the ceremony, the sound in the video was really poor. Mike went completely out of his way and out of his responsibilities to edit that video 5 times until it sounded and looked amazing. I'll never forget his kindness during that process. You won't regret working with him!

watch the video I notice a new little touch that he put in there that I didn't notice the time before. All I had to do was email him our itinerary for that day, and he made sure to plan accordingly so he could capture everything. I am also glad we had him choose the songs for our video montage, because they fit perfectly. :). We love our videos, and we are so happy we chose Michael. -Carrie and Nick Siroky

being intrusive and the final product is beyond what we expected. We even threw Michael a curve ball by wanting to incorporate a GoPro into the mix, and he had nothing but ideas on how best to use it. I would and will recommend Michael to any of my friends getting married.

easy to work with, but also very affordable. He captured the best moments in our wedding montage. The first time I saw it I cried hysterically! It was like something out of a holleywood movie! He captured every detail beautifully. You will not regret choosing Michael to capture your big day, trust me!

"ninja" and I would forget he was even there. He was so right. He is extremely friendly, professional, and he fits in with the crowd. His assistant, Trinity, was laid back and there to get great shots. I would recommend him to any of my friends.

ng. He was so down to earth and was super easy and fun to work with. We love our wedding montage and that will be something that we show everyone as it sums up our day in 6mins. He captured our personality perfectly. We have to say we didn't even know he was filming us or the guests, it was as if he was invisible and we have no idea how he managed to get half of the shots as it looks as if he split himself into 3 people. He really is one of the best in Chicago and very reasonable for money. We cannot recommend him enough to future brides and grooms.

t during the ceremony and reception, we barely noticed he was there. That was great because we never felt like we were being filmed and could act naturally. The wedding montage Michael put together was perfect. We received many compliments! It was the right amount of romantic without being cheesy. An added plus is that you get separate videos of the ceremony, speeches, first dance, and cake cutting. He captured all the best moments and even some that we hadn't remembered. We highly recommend him!

d little moments of the day! Michael was professional yet super down to earth and friendly. Thank you, Michael!

videographer at their wedding. He helped make our day special and it's so nice to be able to replay everything he captured for us.

tally in tune with capturing our day. When your big day is over, all you want, is to do it all over again. Michael gave that to us. When we watched our video, all the emotions and amazing memories from the day came rushing back -- and we will have that forever! I would recommend O'Grady cinema's to anyone I know I getting married!! Thank you Michael!!

e most important days. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Michael!

ver knew he was filming us! I would definitely recommend Michael for videography for your wedding!

th our huge and crazy bridal party! He worked wonderfully with my photographer so they wouldn't get in the way of each other shots. Our dinner went longer than expected at the reception, and he was able to stay longer without any worry. He literally fit right in and our video is nothing short of exceptional! We have received rave reviews about the professionalism and beauty of our music video montage. I would use him again & again!

and also takes direction which was nice. He has an artists eye but doesn't give you an "artsy fartsy" wedding compilation. I've recommended him to many of my friends getting married. And I am recommending him now!
