We loved working with Old North Film! When we started wedding planning we were on the fence about getting a video, but we are so happy that we did! The team on the ground was amazing and really made sure that the day flowed naturally. When it was time for them to leave at the end of the night we wanted them to stay for the rest of the party! We adore our final product, and can’t stop watching it because it is edited so beautifully. For those on the fence, do it and work with Old North - you won’t regret it!

Old North was great! Their people shooting were so professional, and a blast to spend our big day with. The video they made for us perfectly captured the love, warmth and energy of our wedding.
Any questions?
The best wedding video I've ever seen! Team was so fun to work with and the flow of the video between scenes was so smooth! Timed perfectly with the song we chose. If you are second guessing if you need a videographer- you do and it is this team! I watch our wedding video at least once a week!
Old north film company was amazing to work with! They captured our day so perfectly and the team was so awesome to with!The options for different packages were so nice and exactly what we wanted. I also appreciated the form to fill out/meeting with the team in advance to ensure we captured what mattered most. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a videographer!
Daniel from Old North Film Co was amazing! He was extremely kind, communicative, and professional. Our wedding video turned out beautiful, and ONFC was happy to go back and make small changes we requested. We cannot recommend Old North Film Co enough! They were a joy to work with and worked seamlessly alongside our photographer!
Old North was an amazing company to work with for our wedding. Our main videographer Carlos was extremely helpful, kind, and easygoing. During our ceremony and reception, we didn’t even realize we were being filmed most of the time! We recently received our finished films (wayyyy ahead of their estimated finishing time) and we were blown away. We are so happy we chose Old North to capture these memories which we can now cherish forever. Thank you!
If I could give more than 5 stars, I would!!! I was recommended (as a planner) to Old North by another planner friend for a W Citycenter wedding on 9.23.23. My experience from the beginning to the end was fantastic- and I am definitely putting Old North at the top of my referral list, and I haven't even seen footage yet! John (lead shooter) and Nico were so attentive, creative, and fluid with a jam-packed day, wardrobe changes, special requested shoots- and they did it all with grace and enthusiasm! I immediately trusted they got the "vibe" of the couple's vision and was impressed with the drone usage too.
Can't wait to see the final product!
I would highly recommend hiring Old North Film Company for your wedding! We were blown away by the cinematic video they put together for us. It was absolutely AMAZING. It was everything I hoped for in our wedding video and MORE. The day was captured so beautifully. They got many different camera shots (including drone footage), the music is wonderful, and they did a fantastic job adding speech voiceovers to the video. The cinematography of the video is entirely beautiful. It has been so special to watch and share with friends and family. Many got emotional watching it, including me and I don’t get emotional easily!
One of the aspects I liked about the video is that it wasn’t cheesy. Sometimes you watch cinematic wedding videos that aren’t well done. Old North Film Company did an incredible job putting together a truly breathtaking video.
Ahead of the wedding day we filled out a questionnaire and spoke with our lead videographer, Caleb. Through the questionnaire and speaking with Caleb we were able to share our vision for what we wanted captured and what we hoped the cinematic video would be like. There was an example video on their website that we really liked so we said we would like a video that had a similar style. Old North hit our vision out of the ballpark and even exceeded expectations.
Throughout the whole process, Old North was great to work with. The day of the wedding we had our lead videographer and also an assistant. They both did an excellent job. For our end product we received a 9 minute cinematic video, the full ceremony, all of the speeches, and all of the dances (father/daughter, mother/groom, and the first dance.)
Old North Film Company will allow us to relive our wedding day for the rest of our lives and we are so grateful for the job they did capturing one of the best days of our lives. You will not be disappointed hiring them for your wedding!
James and his partner from Old North Film Co were absolutely wonderful to work with! We were so happy with choosing Old North Film Co to capture our day and had a great experience. They were organized, efficient, and stayed on time (even came early) given all time restrictions while managing to capture every person and moment we hoped to get! They were professional and worked well with our Catholic church and were respectful of the rules of the church which can be difficult at times. They made us feel so comfortable and got authentic moments of us as well as quality “posed” moments. I loved when Jason got a "good shot" he was excited for us and showed us some cool clips he got in the moment which made me feel so confident they got great footage. They both blended in well with the crowd while dancing and didn’t take us away from enjoying our experience with friends and family. They were very communicative and we cannot wait to see the end product!Their pricing is fair to the professional standard and reflects what we received in terms of pictures and overall experience. I will be recommending Old North Film Co to all my friends and family!
We are so glad we chose Old North for our wedding day videography. The team did an amazing job capturing our day and made every effort to include the most special moments from our wedding in our feature video. Old North was responsive, professional, and incredible to work with leading up to the wedding and on the day of. We are so grateful that we will have our wedding video to cherish for years to come!
We had the best time working with Old North and James. The planning process was easy and straightforward and Day Of they went above and beyond to make sure they captured every moment. We were comfortable the entire day and felt like we had the biggest cheerleaders for us with our videographers. We can’t wait to see our video!
We really enjoyed work with Old North. The planning process was easy and straight forward and Day Of our videographers worked hard to capture every moment. They made us feel comfortable and excited. We can’t wait to see our special day on video!
We could not have asked for better people to spend our wedding day with than Jesse and John - they were prompt, brought great energy & captured the true vibe of the day without anything feeling forced. Our teaser video came within a week as was beautifully edited - they took our initial vision & made it even better! 11/10 recommend working with Old North Film Co :)
Old North was amazing to work with for our wedding! The communication was seamless prior to the wedding and the two day of videographers were timely, kind and fun to be around. We received our video so quickly which was soooo appreciated! We got to relive the magic of our day while it was still a fresh memory. The video told the story of our day so well and captured the love and happiness just how we would have wanted. So grateful to be able to look back on our day for years to come. Highly recommend working with Old North!!
Old North Film Co was incredible! We were very unsure on if we wanted a videographer for our wedding or not, and we could not be happier that we did! The video captured our entire day perfectly, and we will cherish it forever. The videographers were barely noticeable throughout the day, extremely nice, and returned our video extremely quickly. Would definitely recommend!
My Husband and I hired Old North Film Company for Our Wedding. It was one of the best decisions we couldve made. Chris and Keegan did an amazing job. They were so attentive to our needs and went above and beyond with everything we needed. I would highly highly reccomend them to any couple.
I cannot tell you how much I love our video. I watch it constantly and it makes me so happy. Rogie did an amazing job, powering through the long day and getting every last shot. He couldn't have been nicer and more professional. You guys are the best!
My husband and I hired Old North Film Company for our wedding day last year and it turned out to be one of our best decisions! The videographer and his assistant were so flexible with starting at the time that best suited us to make sure to capture the perfect parts of our day and get the most out of our package. And the video that the team created was absolutely perfect! We couldn’t be happier with what we received — everything from the music to the moments they captured. It’s the perfect keepsake. For anyone who’s in the fence about getting a videographer on your wedding day like I was, absolutely do it!! And make sure it’s with Old North!
They made an amazing film and you didn't even notice their presence. They got great shots while not being a distraction at the wedding and being in the way. Our main shooter was great! We also had a second shooter who was not always the most "professional," as they sat in the grooms suite on the couch on his phone while the guys were in there. Other than that everything was great! They quickly turned over the film faster than anticipated. Great video!
Response from the Vendor on 02/23/2023
Hi Alyssa! Thank you so much for your kind words--we are so happy that you had a great experience!
We appreciate your feedback for our team as well. We hold ourselves to a high standard of quality and professionalism, so we will definitely ta...
ke this feedback and build upon it. We are so sorry that we did not fully exceed your expectations with our professionalism day-of.
Thank you for taking the time to write about your experience--our goal is to capture your big day creatively and discreetly and we are so glad to hear that you were happy with our work!! All the best to you both in your marriage! :)
Old North absolutely killed it on our wedding video! Both, my husband and I started tearing up watching it. They captured our special day perfectly and gave us something we can cherish and re-watch for years to come. Both videographers were professional and so easy to work with. 11/10 recommend them if you’re looking for an amazing videographer who will make the day less stressful and deliver a beautiful video and footage of your special day.
If I could quit my job and be on the marketing team of Old North Film Co to advocate for their greatness full-time, I would. Old North was truly incredible and we couldn't have asked for a more creative, professional, hard-working, dedicated group of individuals to capture the love on our day. We worked with Caleb and Matt and they were both so kind and helpful. Matt was with us the day of and he was WORKIN all the angles... we felt like celebrities. Further, they collaborate very nicely with photographers they have not worked with before.
Finally, I provided matt with a "wish list" of things I wanted, and he ensured that he got all of them even when I 1. was crabby and not in the mood to take pics/videos anymore 2. forgot what was on my list in the first place...
10/10 recommend you go with Old North! You WONT regret it
We knew from watching other videos Old North Film Company has done that they would do an incredible job capturing our day, and they did not disappoint! They are so talented at portraying emotion and created such a beautiful summary of our wedding. Mikhail and Angel were so great to work with and we appreciated Mikhail reaching out to us beforehand to get to know us better and help make our vision come to life. We are so glad we chose ONFC as our videographers and would highly recommend them!
The Old North Film Company team captured our wedding perfectly. We could not be happier with the end result. They were kind and professional, and helped make the already incredible day even better. 10/10 recommend them to anyone for their wedding!
This is the best videographer out there- STOP WHAT YOU’RE DOING AND WATCH THEIR WEBSITE VIDEO- we watched ONE of their films, and we were brought to our knees in tears, we felt that we knew personally who we watched, they had tragedy, and happiness, loss and love, like most of us happen- they captured their day perfectly and proceeded to capture our day perfectly! They have captured our hearts and you will not regret their professionalism, and they were SO fast to get us our teaser & then our footage. PS; get the drone, it was so fun to do those shots!!! You will be so happy this is your last stop on videographers!!
We absolutely loved our experience with Old North Film Company. At first I was hesitant on whether or not we wanted a videographer, but I am SO glad we decided to. From start to finish and everything in between was exceptionally fabulous. Alex was very communicative and thoroughly answered my hundreds of questions before booking. Matt and team were such a pleasure working with leading up to our wedding, the wedding day itself, and afterwards. Matt and team delivered the MOST PERFECT video that we will now cherish forever. If you're considering a videographer, DO IT and hire Old North Film Company because they will exceed your expectations. Highly recommend!!
When I think about where to begin, I struggle with the right words to adequately express my gratitude and appreciation for this amazing company. Deciding to hire a video production service/ videographer to capture our wedding was a really important decision for us. As the bride, I researched what felt like hundreds of companies to view their work, and find what I was looking for. As soon as I watched a few examples of Old North’s work, I knew I had found the company I wanted to work with. During our consultation meeting, I spoke with Alex, who immediately eased my fears, and took detailed notes about things we knew we wanted. We were happy to find all the packages were completely customizable, so there is likely something for everyone’s budget. Come wedding day, we had the pleasure of working with with both Jesse and John. Jesse was with me(the bridal party) and John stayed with the men. It was amazing seeing them work together, and alongside our photographer. They really are experts at their craft and ensuring they aren’t getting each other's way, and really just were an enjoyable part of the day. My photographer also mentioned that they were extremely professional and were some of the best she has seen in her 15 years of wedding photography.
The only, very minimal, but very understandable disappointment was the wait time to receive your wedding video footage. It was right on time with the projected wait time they told us(2-3 months) but it did feel like an eternity when you just want to see it all right away. However, it was beyond worth the wait. Every part of our package is perfect. Our cinematic video made me laugh, and cry. Our families and friends have been in awe of it. We love all of our extra footage, and small moments that were captured too. The video editing team brought my dreams to life. We also worked with David after we received the video package. He was so kind and patient as he ensured we had everything we had hoped for. All in all, I cannot recommend them enough. Each person we worked with is an expert in their area of expertise for the company. Their work speaks for themselves and I encourage all future brides and grooms to consider them.
We thoroughly enjoyed working with Old North Film Company for our wedding video! They were communicative, collaborative, and professional throughout the planning process. They were not intrusive when filming throughout the wedding and worked incredibly well with our photographer to capture our day perfectly. Our sneak peek video is absolutely stunning. We can't wait to see the finished product in a couple of months! If you are looking for a talented, passionate, and genuine videography team, look no further!
Choosing Old North Film Co to video our wedding was the best decision we made!! Everyone we interacted with was so professional, timeline and our final product video was INCREDIBLE! Videography is so important seeing as the wedding is the fastest day ever and we are so glad we chose ONF to capture our day!
We absolutely loved our experience working with Old North!! They were down to earth and a ton of fun. While filming, you did not even notice they were there. We could not love our video more - the emotion and joy was PERFECTLY captured. Many happy tears have been shed while watching, and the pure joy and emotion of the day is evident! We would absolutely recommend Old North to anyone and everyone in need of a fantastic video team!
We were so impressed with the quality of our cinematic video - these are true professionals! They captured so many spectacular moments from our day and put them into one beautiful video. I was especially pleased that after requesting one slight edit to our final video, plus some additional footage for us just to have, David was happy to accommodate - excellent customer service if you ask me! I HIGHLY recommend Old North Film Company to anyone looking for wedding videographers!
Old North Film company was amazing! We were trilled to find out they opened up to Cincinnati which is where our wedding was! They were so helpful throughout the whole planning process and answered all our questions about the video and equipment that they use. They were incredible to work with! WE LOVED OUR VIDEOS!!
Old North Film Company did an incredible job! David, truly cared about making our video perfect! Our cinematic film is something we will be able to look back on forever and it is everything we could've wanted. Could not be happier :)
I could not recommend Old North and Matt more!! He was so helpful through out the entire wedding process and the video turned out amazing!! You are in good hands with Old North!!
Old North did an amazing job capturing such beautiful, candid, fun, emotionally-filled moments and packaged it all together into a beautiful film that I can easily say displays our favorite memories from the night. We interviewed with a few different companies, but Old North was an easy pick! We had a few calls discussing things that were important to us to be captured throughout the day, and it was obvious they listened because everything we discussed was beautifully put together in the video. They worked so well with our photographers as well which made the day so much easier in the hustle of getting photos done. We loved our video so much (originally got the 5 minute video) that I asked for them to make the longer feature-which they did and the turn around time was so quick. No question to go with Old North- communication is quick, concise, and the work they did was amazing- best decision from the big day- and get the longest video-you will not regret it!
My husband and I absolutely loved working with Old North! They were so easy to work with, and they made the day feel so effortless. Our cinematic video was beautiful and captured our day perfectly. Highly recommend them for your special event!
Old North is the real deal, our day in the great care of our fearless leader Caleb and his team Daniel and Blake. We were blown away by both the end product and experience on the day-of; they were professional, conscientious, laid-back, and fun to spend time with; we didn’t have a wedding party, but after a few hours of filming, we had bonded in a way that didn’t even remotely feel like “cameras-in-our faces.” In between actual storm sessions raging outside (!), Caleb even went out of his way to capture drone footage of gorgeous Lake Michigan across from our wedding venue!
Given that my husband’s family is overseas and wasn’t able to attend, we wanted a superior-quality production team capturing the day so that we could share our day with his family in as joyful and present a way as possible. What at first felt like might just be a pipe dream/indulgent splurge for our wedding budget truly turned out to be a deep, significant necessity for larger reasons than just for our own enjoyment: it’s the closest we could get to having his family be present for our big day, and a way for both families to cherish these memories for a lifetime. So many moments on a wedding day begin and end on that day, but film is forever.
This turned out to be the most important part of our budget, and we cannot recommend working with Old North enough!
My husband Charlie and I booked Old North Film Company for our wedding in downtown Chicago in late April of 2022. They were a pleasure to work with and we are blown away by our wedding video!!
Caleb was the lead videographer on our big day - he was super friendly, laid back and had a good sense of humor. He made us both feel comfortable right away. Even when we spoke to him on the phone a few weeks beforehand, we could tell we were in good hands with someone who has creative vision. Also, at our reception we were running behind and our band got started a half hour late - Caleb even stayed later to make sure he captured some of the dancing. What amazing customer service! We can't thank him enough.
We also communicated with Alex and David on some of the logistics stuff - they were easy to work with and made the process as simple as possible.
Finally, the video itself is everything we could have dreamed of and more! My husband and I are TV broadcasters so we were really picky about our videographer as we both have training in production/film. The shots were beautiful, well composed, captured the moment, and the editing tied it all together, seamlessly weaving in speeches and the music. You need to book Old North Film Company now - you won't be disappointed!
Old North did an absolutely AMAZING job!! They were prompt, they were kind and had an amazing energy. The final product was nothing short of spectacular and it was the BEST money we spent of our entire wedding. I would HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend them for your wedding!!! Lara and team did an amazing job! Alex was always there to answer questions and emails. BEYOND HAPPY AND THRILLED WITH OUR VIDEO!!!
Old North Film Company was so fabulous to work with. They made the process so easy and you felt so comfortable with their creative direction! We had the pleasure of working with Alex Oechsel as our lead and she was not only the sweetest but really freaking amazing at her job. We are so excited about the final product and to be able to relive our special day! Highly recommend!
We cannot speak more highly of Old North Film Company. I watched their videos online when planning for our wedding and loved their cinematography and style. I knew I wanted them for our wedding. Their videographers were so talented, flexible and easy to work with both before and on our wedding day. My husband and I teared up watching our short film of our wedding, it beautifully captured the love and joy of our wedding in candid and personal moments.
I was so nervous to spend money on a wedding video but holy WOW did it exceed my expectations! The video, the music...we just got ours back and it's beyond beautiful. This is something I will cherish for my entire life. Thank you to Rogie and the entire Old North team! We can't thank you enough!
We can't speak highly enough of Old North Film. We inquired and spoke with Alex who worked with us throughout up until our wedding. She was very easy to work with and answers promptly. Alex made sure we had all our questions answered and provided a through questionnaire to help our videographer. We had Kevin as our videographer for our wedding. Kevin was great and so much fun to work with. He made things feel natural and comfortable all while filming everything. We can't wait to see our final films. We highly recommend Old North Film!
Old North Film Company was recommended to me by my floral and wedding designer. I trusted their opinion, and boy did we hit the jackpot! We were looking for high quality at a reasonable price, and we found that and SO much more with them. They are responsive, they are personable, they take the time to understand what's important to you, they were punctual, very professional, and very kind and light-hearted. They captured EVERY important moment. The finished product is better than anything we could've DREAMED of, and I'm not always the easiest audience! It is so creative, so thoughtful, so special. We still tear up every time we watch our video! I would recommend them to anyone and would use them again and again.
Old North Film Company has been a delight to work with! Even with a postponed wedding due to COVID the team worked with us to secure our new date with no problem at all. Rogie and Conner were our two shooters and we adored both of them! They were super helpful in directing us on where to be or shots they wanted to get without every distracting from the event itself. Both videographers were patient and easy going which made all the commotion and transitions of the day seem super smooth. The entire team has been responsive and supportive throughout the planning process and were an absolute joy on the day of! We can't wait to see our video!
Alex and her team were incredible to work with. They created the most beautiful wedding video for us and captured all of the beautiful details of our day. Her team made my husband and I feel comfortable in front of the camera and were so professional. We couldn’t have asked for a better team to work with on our wedding day.
Absolutely in awwwe with the highlight video we received from them for our wedding video! It is everything I imagined it would be and more! The quality is amazing which is something I searched long and hard for; quality, a drone, and a company that created highlight videos. We worked with Alex and she was very professional and accommodating having to plan our wedding during covid, always was timely with responding back to emails, and is super nice and we felt so relaxed with everything. Their company also had the option available to record our ceremony live for family and friends that could not attend due to the pandemic and everyone really loved and appreciated they could watch us say our vows. I would highly recommend this company for your wedding video, especially if your looking for a highlight video! They are worth every penny!
Documenting our special day was top of mind during our wedding planning process. We left no stone unturned as we searched for the perfect wedding videographer to capture all of the unforgettable moments. I’m happy to say that we made the perfect choice. There is truly no substitute for Old North Film Company when it comes to promptness, professionalism, and a stellar final product. The process with Alex was such a joy from start to finish. Her communication, direction, and final edit were exceptional and we could not have asked for a better outcome. I would recommend Old North to anyone looking for a wonderful videographer experience. Best decision ever.
We worked with Lara P. from Old North Film Company and we couldn't be more happy with how everything turned out! Lara really listened to what we wanted from the very beginning. We never felt like we had a camera on our face, she was very discrete and allowed us to truly enjoy the moments while masterfully capturing everything. The video turned out beautiful and really brought back the emotions of the day; our friends and family absolutely loved it and said they were transported back in time while watching. Hiring a videographer, specifically Old North Film Company, is one of the best decisions we made. Thank you Lara and team!
Alex from Old North Film Company was very easy to work with. I initially planned a wedding at a venue and had to unexpectedly change my location to my house. Alex was very flexible, approachable, courteous and did a wonderful job. She promptly finished the video editing and the short film within a few days and made it available for me. They had the option of a live ceremony feed which my family and friends appreciated and viewed who could not attend. They were very affordable to use as well. We appreciate them making lasting memories for us and making the experience memorable. I highly recommend them!
We just got our wedding feature, and I am BLOWN AWAY. My fiance was on the fence about hiring a videographer, but I persuaded him that we should. Caleb and his team were perfectly lovely on the day, but I just now saw what they put together, and it is exceptional. So artistic. So beautiful. They captured the day perfectly. My now husband is SO happy we did it! HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
We decided at the last minute to add a videographer for our wedding and thank goodness Old North was available.
From the moment we started working with them- they were friendly, easy to work with, and just as excited as we were.
Caleb was our videographer and we loved working with him the day of! He helped us feel natural in front of the camera yet also did not interrupt our day from actually happening. We never felt like we had an overwhelming amount of paparazzi all day :)
When he sent the video, we had no idea what to expect but it blew our expectations out of the water! Not a dry eye in the house. It is our favorite thing to remind us of how the day really FELT rather than just how it looked in pictures.
I could not recommend them more!
Beyond Expected! Randomly found them on the knot. Watched a couple of their videos and was hooked. When it came to choosing a videographer we were so out of our element. We wanted someone to capture the day exactly how we remembered it. My husband and I are so awkward in front of the camera so we were especially nervous on how our video was going to turn out. FORGET THAT. Lara was amazing. Legit never asked us to do anything awkward or uncomfortable. The video was exactly what we remembered our day to be and more. Easiest recommendation for vendor by far!
We are so lucky to have found Old North Film Company. They worked with us and our very large (26 person) wedding party during 4th of July weekend in Chicago. We had crazy requests and they were all accomplished. (They were so kind to make edits on parts of the feature that I felt I did not look my best) They made us feel extremely comfortable and really felt like we could tell them exactly what we wanted. Our family is obsessed and friends are now wanting to use the same company. I would recommend using them, we did "the feature" package and it was 100% worth it. Side note: My husband is so happy you guys shot him shooting hoops, it made the video!
Absolutely loved working with Old North - you wouldn't have even known that they were around. The final product was one of the best wedding films I have ever seen. Extremely high quality video at a really great cost. Thank you Kevin and Old North Film Company for catching out big day!
My husband Kevin and I knew that one of the most important decisions we would make is choosing a videographer to film our big day. I discovered Old North Film Co online. After watching a few of their videos, I knew their team was the right choice for us! The owner Tyler set up a call with me months prior to determine what we were looking for and make sure he understood us as a couple, which I really appreciated. Kevin, our lead videographer, then reached out two or so months before our wedding day. He was thorough, detailed, and very deliberate in running through our day of timeline with us via email and phone call. He and his associate videographer were so easy to work with day of, and so friendly! Our preview and feature films turned out AMAZING and we could not be more grateful to this team, and to Kevin for dedicating his day to capturing ours. Outstanding team of professionals who execute and take pride in their quality of work. Thank you so much!!!!
I can’t say enough good things about working with Old North Film Company. Our video was better than anything I could have ever imagined. I knew from the beginning that Caleb was going to give 100% and not settle for anything but a perfect end product. It all began in our kick-off meeting when his passion for being creative and creating unique videos clearly shined through. His appreciation for cool venues and the creativity new places allowed for him was very evident. His excitement talking about our project was contagious and I knew then he was going to create something that was uniquely ours and wonderful. He didn’t disappoint!
The day of our wedding Caleb and his coworker showed up to our suite early. He seamlessly fit into the hustle and bustle and fun in the suite full of bridesmaids, moms, aunts, makeup artists and hair stylists. He was friendly and sociable, but also made himself undetected at times to get truly candid shots. We never felt forced to do certain things and it showed in our video that our day was fun and we lived in the moment during all of it. The last thing I wanted was for someone to instruct us to jump in the air at the same time or do things that we would never do naturally. The same goes for the groom’s suite too.
During our photo tour of Chicago, ceremony and reception, I didn’t notice Caleb and his assistant at all. They were surely working, but their presence was never noticed. They were able to capture all the great moments without being intrusive or making us and our guests feel like we were being filmed. Our video shows so many sincere and close moments, but I never once felt like I was under a microscope or had a camera in my face. It felt natural that day and shows through in our video too. Our video shows such an out pouring of love; the rawness Old North was able to capture is unbelievable. Their editing was perfect too. They were able to splice together meaningful footage with fun party scenes and make it all flow together beautifully. The voice overs they chose to incorporate make it truly a masterpiece. I couldn’t have written a better script for the video if I tried. It provides a wonderful definition of what love and the marriage is according to us and our closest friends and family. It’s both heartfelt and funny. I couldn’t be happier with the final product. We’ve received so many exceptional compliments and comments on our video – even from people not in attendance at our wedding. So many people say it looks like a professional movie and they can’t believe the beauty of it all. The video really shows ALL the details I took months putting together and all the love and joy of the day.
Caleb also proved to be a superhero. After I received back my professional photos, I learned the photographer neglected to get any shot of my very long and detailed veil – a favorite part of my outfit. I was heartbroken and quickly reached out to Caleb to see if he had any good shots and if he could incorporate them into the video. He quickly checked the footage and was able to include great shots of my veil in the video. I am forever grateful for this!
Old North Film is an amazing company to work with and I highly recommend Caleb. This was definitely one of the best allocations of our budget. Our video will always be close to our hearts and something we will proudly share with others for years to come.
STOP RIGHT NOW and choose Old North as your videographer. Seriously!!!!! They are INCREDIBLE and genuinely care about you, and your day. You would never guess they have a bazillion other brides & grooms, because that's how personal the experience felt. We had Caleb and he was seriously such a blessing on our wedding day. He is SO responsive, pays so much attention to detail, has an amazing personality, and is SO kind. He listened to every note that I had, answered every question, made sure to address/fulfill everything we asked for, and genuinely made me feel like I was the only person he was working with. On top of that, our video is PERFECT. I am so beyond grateful we went with Old North and Caleb for our special day. <3 From start to finish with our experience with them, it was the best decision we could've made.
The video footage of our wedding was one of the things that I was most looking forward to. We hit the jackpot with Old North working with Kevin. They had such an amazing vision as they shot the footage. They were never in the way but still somehow managed to get an upfront and unobstructed shot of every main event. They made us so at ease and were able to shift seamlessly with the flow of the day. The finished product was SUCH high quality and really represented us, the vibe of the day and is something we will watch again and again! We cannot recommend this team enough
We hired Old North Film Company for our November 2019 Chicago wedding at the Harold Washington Library. We worked with Tyler and Caleb in the planning process and they were excellent. They asked questions in advance to be fully prepared to make the day perfect. Caleb and Fred were on site with us and captured everything from getting ready, portrait photography, ceremony, dancing, etc. We will receive our final product soon and I know it is going to be amazing. They were a joy to work with and very comfortable to be around (and fun!) even in our private, intimate moments. We highly recommend Old North Film Company!
Old North Film Company made everything so easy. They were very helpful in the planning process and even better on the day of. All the employees we spoke to/ worked with were very knowledgeable and always kind. And the video!!! The video is amazing! The quality of the video is outstanding and the edits are perfect. If you go with Old North Film Company for your wedding, you will not regret it!
Fantastic communication and service. Knowing the stress that hinders both the groom and bride on the wedding day, Old North Film Co. were quick and professional. They were always in the background - meticulous in capturing every moment without being in the face of the subjects.
The final product was also better than we could have ever imagined! Alex made the shoots effortless (for awkward subjects such as ourselves).
10/10 would definitely recommend!
I want to give a huge shoutout to Alex Oechsel and her partner who came and did videography for our big fat Indian wedding a couple months ago! We approached Old North after looking for video companies that had shot Indian Weddings well, and fell upon a video on their website that encapsulated how we wanted out wedding to be portrayed and shot; we lucked out as Old North teamed us up with the individual who had done that video; Alex! Alex was great to work with, and extremely patient given the chaos of our wedding. Know that your wedding video is in good hands with Old North and their team!!
I cannot rave enough about these videographers enough and HIGHLY recommend them for everyone! Alex and her team are unbelievable and captured our day in a way that is so genuinely us. We can feel the entire day and all of the emotions when we watch it back. They really hear your vision and create something you will cherish forever. Before the wedding, they are excellent about communicating for planning. The day of, they're professional and fun and awesome to have by your side. I had complete trust that they would do an incredible job and they went above and beyond my expectations.
Paige and Fred were exactly what we were looking for in a videographer. Prior to our wedding, Paige called several times to make sure that she had all the information necessary to capture everything that my husband and I wanted in our video. They are extremely easy to work with! During our wedding, Paige and Fred stayed way longer than they were supposed to to make sure they captured all of the funny traditions my family has for weddings. She is extremely kind-hearted and very, very talented at what she does. I would recommend her to anyone that is looking for a videographer for their weddings. She was worth every penny and was one of our easiest vendors to work with.
We are so happy that we hired Old North Film Company to capture the most important day of our lives! We were lucky to be paired with Alex as our lead videographer. She was so professional & sweet and we really enjoyed working with her on the day of the wedding! We were elated with how our short film turned out. The filming and editing was done so well that it truly felt like a short movie capturing our love story. We couldn't recommend Alex & Old North more!
Would highly recommend and would use again in a heartbeat. Best wedding videos you will see. Responsive staff, professional and talented videographers, amazing videos. Worth the money!
We cannot express how happy we were with our experience with Old North! The team we worked with was absolutely amazing, and we could not be happier that we decided to work with them. They went above and beyond to capture all of the moments from our special day from the start of getting ready all the way through the end of the night. They also worked so well with out photograher. We are looking forward to seeing all of the amazing footage that they captured of our day!
We absolutely loved working with Old North Film Co. as our wedding videographer. Lara was our lead videographer and could not have been better to work with. She was kind, energetic, flexible and made the process fun. Both videographers were professional and on-time. We cannot wait to see their work!!
We are so happy with our short video from Old North and glad we made the decision to hire a videographer for our wedding day! Caleb and his team captured many great moments and created a beautiful video for us to relive our day. The Old North team was professional and great to work with!
It was wonderful working with David on selecting our package and what worked for us. Caleb was our radiographer on the day of. He was incredible- professional, came on time and captured every moment without getting in anyone's way. I cannot wait to see the final product. Moreover, before our wedding he took the time to figure out what we were looking for from our wedding video instead of just showing us what he has done in the past like some vendors. I appreciated that he put us and our vision first. The best part is he listened to us and implemented it on the day of. We didn't want anything staged or too showy. Instead we wanted to capture the natural reactions and joy of the day. We all really felt like he did that. Would highly recommend Caleb and this company.
If you are on the fence about hiring a videographer - I urge you to consider going with Old North Film Company. Your wedding goes by in a flash, it is a blur - to have the video to relive the day is the best thing we did. Alex and her team are so talented - they captured the day with all the emotion and excitement that filled it. We got numerous complements and guests asking where we found them. The team was so flexible (we hired them less than a week before the wedding). They were professional, enthusiastic and they truly have a knack for the small details. You will not regret choosing Old North Film Company!
My husband and I went through this company for our wedding video. They did an amazing job! Really captured memorable moments that we will get to relive every anniversary! It was worth it. Plus they are very easy going and will change or add anything to make your video perfect!

Our wedding video surpassed our expectations. It is so beautiful and full of love and excitement. Old North did such an amazing job capturing our big day. And they were incredibly sweet and professional day-of. Truly a pleasure to work with start to finish. Thank you Old North!
We recently received our highlights video from Caleb and Old North Film Company. Words cannot even describe how awed we were by the way Caleb and his team captured our incredible weekend. We have watched it time and time again and it never gets old. They captured us as a couple perfectly and it is something we will treasure forever. One of the best decisions we made in the wedding planning process was hiring Old North Film Company! We can’t recommend them enough!
My husband and I were that couple who questioned whether or not hiring a videographer would be worth it. It wasn't until the month of the wedding when we decided to commit due to the unfortunate event that neither of our grandmothers would be able to travel for our wedding. After many hours of agonizing and vetting other film companies, we somehow stumbled upon ONFC and immediately knew they were the right fit after one conversation with David. Alex was our videographer and she is SO talented!! We had a very specific idea of how we wanted our short film to look and she CRUSHED it PLUS some!!! I can't even believe we considered not adding a videographer in the first place because we will truly treasure our videos for so many years to come. David, Alex and team: THANK YOU for going above and beyond for us especially at such short notice. To all brides and grooms: stop questioning if you should hire a videographer or not and just call ONFC; you will not regret it!
We had a great experience with Old North Film. They were super responsive, helpful and friendly. We love our footage and couldn’t ask for anything better. You don’t even realize they are around filming you so it feels natural. We worked with Jono, and we would recommend him and this company to anyone!
Old North Film Company was one of the best decisions we made throughout the wedding planning process. We highly recommend! Jono & Austin are very talented and so fun to be around. We have been watching our video on repeat and we are so glad they were a part of our special day.
Working with Old North Film Company was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day! The finished video product was absolutely amazing and something we will always treasure!
Throughout the whole process, and especially the day of, they were warm, kind and completely listened to what we wanted. I cannot say enough good things about them!
We worked with Alex and she was wonderful! We absolutely love our highlight video and couldn't be happier. I spent a long time looking at wedding videos and comparing - and it was well worth it! Our video is not cheesy whatsoever and it captures everything we had hoped for. We couldn't recommend Old North Film Company more!
We chose Old North Film Company to do the videography for our wedding in September of 2018. This was probably one of the best decisions we made. We worked with Alex and Tyler throughout the whole planning process. I cannot give both of these associates enough praise. They were very easy to contact and communicate with. Most times we got an email response in under 24 hours - which was very much appreciated when planning a wedding! Alex and her assistant showed up on our wedding day to the specified location right on time. They were extremely professional and worked hand in hand with our photographer (separate company) to capture all of our big moments. Alex was great to work with and made sure to capture all of the specific shots we wanted. They even stayed an extra half hour at our reception to ensure this was accomplished.
Post wedding, we had to wait about 5 months to get the final product. Old North did not disappoint! It was everything we expected it to be and more! Alex did an excellent job!
We would highly recommend Old North Film Company for your wedding. They are worth every penny and then some.
-Troy and Heather
Old North Film Company was by far one of the best decisions we made in our wedding planning experience! They were so amazing to work and produced a stunning feature film. I've watched it multiple times and can't stop watching it! They were able to capture every touching moment between friends, family and our love as a couple! Would HIGHLY recommend to everyone who is looking for a videographer!
Old North was easily our favorite wedding vendor to work with. Not only this, but Old North created our most treasured wedding keepsake. My husband was initially slightly reluctant to contract a videographer; however, he now says that it was “worth every penny and more.” My mother, who is proud to be unsentimental, got teary-eyed while watching it for the first time- trust me, if you knew her, this alone would sell you on booking Old North.
Kevin was our videographer and he was absolutely wonderful to work with- his responses were lightning fast, he provided gentle reminders when he needed something from us, and he is pleasant and kind. My husband and I are a little nit-picky and requested a few small edits after receiving the video and he was able to quickly accommodate every single one. Do I have to mention that the final product was nothing short of amazing and absolutely perfect?!
Thank you for capturing our wedding day so beautifully, Kevin and Old North!
-Kevin & Lindsay Z.
Company was great for my wedding on July 29, 2018. They were very responsive during the initial booking process and arrived prompt on our special day. It took a little longer than I had anticipated to receive our preview video but the end result was amazing. Chris was a very friendly videographer. We had two videographers for 10 hours and they captured everything from us getting ready to us celebrating at our banquet hall.
I had priced shopped about 10 videographers and for the price and the quality, its well worth it!
I am absolutely in love with our wedding video! These guys were amazing. The audio is on point and the angles, which we did not make easy on them, were perfect. The truly captured not only the look of our wedding but the feel as well! Hands down I would hire them again and again. Very professional in all aspects of working with them before and day of for our wedding! I just wish I had a good excuse to have another big event they could capture. Thank you a million times over for capturing our wedding with amazing perfection!
