One of the biggest pieces of wedding advice I received when we first got engaged was "don't skimp on the videographer...you don't think you need one, you do". I will be giving out that advice to future brides and grooms now too because I cannot imagine having my wedding day captured only in still photos and memories. It's one of the biggest days of your life--the chance to relive it in motion is well worth the investment.
I was looking through videographer websites and looking at samples of their work and I knew I wanted to hire Old North when I was watching the video of a couple I didn't even know and tearing up. I figured if they could evoke that emotion from me on a sample video, I knew it would be 100x better when it's my own video.
We had James as our primary shooter (John was our secondary) and they were both wonderful to work with! They arrived early the day of the wedding and were both professional and prepared. My husband and I are, admittedly, not the most comfortable in front of the camera, so we were a little wary how we would feel with 2 photographers and 2 videographers around us all night, but James and John helped us feel SO comfortable and, once the day got moving, we hardly knew they were there!
I've lost track of how many times I've watched our cinematic cut of our wedding day. It made both my husband and I cry being able to see such a beautiful day condensed into a 10 minute film that we can watch over and over again and be able to relive and soak in the memories. Not to mention the multi-view cuts of our first dance, our ceremony, and the speeches.
I know it's a splurge, I know you don't think you need it, but hiring Old North was one of the best decisions I made during our wedding planning process. We couldn't be happier or more grateful for their hard work!!

I'm so glad we chose Old North Film Company for our wedding day! I had a really hard time deciding on a videographer and after seeing their films I knew that's who I wanted. Our wedding video came out perfect. It’s so special to us. I've already watched it so many times and have shed so many happy tears. They captured our wedding day perfectly and got our favorite moments!

We chose Old North for our wedding this summer. At first, we were on the fence about hiring a videographer at all. But John and Matt did such an incredible job with our special day, we cannot imagine missing out on all the beautiful moments- especially the speeches and dances with our family and friends.
When we received the final video, we were able to relive our wedding from a new perspective. It felt like our wedding day went by so fast, it was wonderful to have a beautifully edited video that captured things so well.
And it wasn't just John & Matt that did an amazing job, the video editing team, and other folks coordinating the project behind-the-scenes were very detail-oriented and kept us in the loop. Thank you, Old North!!

Old North Film Co filmed my August 2024 wedding and they were fantastic! From the beginning, we enjoyed talking with Alex who answered all of our questions and really made us confident that Old North Film Co was the right choice for our wedding. At first, I was unsure if we wanted to do a full video package, but I am SO glad we did! We haven't gotten our final video footage back but we saw a preview and it is absolutely amazing. Reliving our wedding through the "summary" video was such a gift we will treasure for years to come. The editors did such a nice job capturing the energy and love from the day. Larissa, our lead videographer, was great to work with. She was communicative, kind, and easygoing from the beginning. We also had a very large wedding (300+ people) and Larissa and her assistant were able to handle our large guest count / capture a lot of great moments with ease. I cannot wait to see the final version of the video and would highly recommend Old North Film Co. You certainly won't regret hiring them!

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 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!

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!

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

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!!

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.

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!

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 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.

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!
