We could not be more thrilled with Shutter and Sound. My husband was initially very against a videographer at the outset of our wedding, and now we both agree that Shutter and Sound--by far--was the best investment we made in the wedding. Truly magical videos. Great people to work with. We can't recommend them enough.
I had an amazing experience with Shutter and sound! They were so helpful and sweet day off and knew exactly what was needed for a perfect video! I was extremely specific about what I was looking for and I couldn’t have asked for a better video. It was perfection. I received so many compliments from family and friends! I can’t stop watching it over and over. Thank you again shutter and sound!!
We are so happy with our decision to work with Shutter and Sound. They were recommended to me by a friend and I'm so happy we decided to go with them! Julian was so easy to work with from the beginning - he was always quick to respond to any questions we had and always explained everything thoroughly. We were lucky enough to work with Poria and his amazing assistant. I can't say enough about this amazing team. They went above and beyond for us all day. They made everything work no matter what the situation was and they made everyone feel so relaxed. I can't tell you how many compliments we received from family members and friends about how great this team was. Our sneak peak video was beautiful. We never imagined it would look that good. We are so thrilled we went with Shutter and Sound and can't thank them enough for helping capture our day.
Any questions?
Shutter and Sound Films did the most AMAZING video of our wedding and I couldn't be happier. Working with Julian, Ken, and Juan was an absolute dream.
Ken and Juan are so creative and literally rolled with all of the punches we threw at them on our wedding day. Our final result was the most unique, high quality, touching and heart felt video we could have asked for. I knew this company was the one the first time I watched one of their sample videos.
Do NOT miss the opportunity to work with them!
Ken and Julian were amazing! Julian answered so many of my emails quickly and was so great to work with throughout the whole process. Ken was so kind and easy-going. He did an incredible job capturing our day! I could not be happier with how our wedding footage turned out.
We could not be happier with our decision to hire Shutter and sound! Communication was so easy and working with Ken on our big day was an absolute pleasure. Our video is so perfect and I can’t stop watching it! Definitely recommend them!
Kenny and his team (Juan and Adam) were AMAZING! When Kenny arrived the day of the wedding, he wasted no time. The energy and thoughtfulness he put into the details when filming made our day flow smoothly - the video is proof of how wonderful of a job they did. Not only was the team confident, but they also worked extremely well with the other vendors. I would 100% recommend Kenny and Shutter & Sound, and a special shout out to Julian who helped with organizing and planning!
Thank you again :)

Poria and his team are as good as it gets. We have received a million raving reviews on our video! We could not be happier with it! Best decision we made was hiring them! We will cherish our video forever and appreciate everyone at Shutter And Sound so much!!
From start to finish, Shutter and Sound was awesome to work with! Julian made the booking and logistics process so easy and Ken/the Chicago team captured our day in the most perfect way! We are so happy with how both the instagram and highlight videos turned out! We've gotten so many compliments from family and friends on how well the love and happiness was captured! We can't wait to watch all of the video footage for years to come - it's the best keepsake in addition to our pictures!
We could never share enough how appreciative and happy we are with the support that Shutter and Sound showed us throughout our wedding planning process and on the big day! We are a couple that postponed our wedding date one year as a result of the pandemic. Shutter and Sound showed nothing but professionalism and encouragement throughout the postponement process. Julian was incredibly communicative and shared kind words which was very sweet! Poria and the other assistant did a wonderful job on the day. We felt so comfortable with them in our family homes and throughout our big day as they filmed. They thought of the little things and created a wonderful video we will always cherish. As a couple who had mixed experiences as a result of the pandemic, this company will hold a special place for us as one the did everything to support the process!!
Highly recommend, especially for Chicago area brides!
I wanted to say how amazing Julian and Ken were to work with! All I can say is WOW to the incredible customer service and excellent communication to the hard work and passion they both displayed. It was nothing but a pleasure working with Julian and Ken, and I highly recommend them. My husband and I had a really tough road getting to the big day because of the pandemic like many other couples, but Julian and Ken made our day so special. Ken worked so well with our photographers and they received multiple compliments from our family and friends on their professionalism. Julian was fantastic with communication and promptly answering our emails. They not only do spectacular work, but they are wonderful people. Highly recommend!
Like many couples, we had the initial wedding date of April 2020 and had to reschedule 3 times till finally this past month of getting hitched!
From the beginning stages of planning and through the multiple reschedules, Julian Spessard and Juan Ariza have been wonderful to work with. As a nervous bride, Julian as the Videography Coordinator, was reassuring and rolled with the many various emails I had leading up to the big day.
Juan was our videographer for our wedding day. Prior to this, he met in person as well as had a conference call to get to know me and my fiancé as a couple as well as understand our dynamics to capture it beautifully on camera. I can’t rave about Juan enough- I truly felt like I had a long-time friend with me during the wedding day. He made me feel at ease as well as jumped in any situation that he saw someone needed help (i.e., cleaning my wedding ring to make it extra sparkly or asking my pregnant MOH if she needed any water while we outside taking video on a hot Chicago summer day). All of our friends stated that they would have loved to hang with Juan outside of this day—that speaks volumes to me, to find a company that truly makes you feel like you are family, and this day is as important to them as it is to you. I am so grateful to have found them and work with them over the last 2.5 years! I would wholeheartedly recommend Shutter and Sound to anyone who is wanting great team players like Julian and Juan to be part of your dream wedding vendor squad.
Shutter and sound did an amazing job with our wedding highlight video. My husband and I received many compliments. Some of our friends/family members informed us that it was the best wedding video they had ever seen. Shutter and sound captured all details perfectly. The editing quality is beyond perfection. Julian responded to all of our emails in a timely manner. Juan was so much fun to work with—he’s quite warm and friendly . Overall, My husband and I are extremely pleased with our experience with shutter and sound and highly recommend this company to future brides/grooms.
From the moment I saw Shutter and Sound's portfolio, I knew I needed to work with them for my wedding. Now that my day has passed, I can honestly say that they were worth every penny and then some. I had the honor of filming with Juan and Maria, who brought so much life, laughter, and joy to me, my husband, and our friends and family. They were both professional and personable, to the point that it felt like we were just hanging out with another set of our friends by the end of the night.
The entire planning process leading up to our wedding was also made enjoyable by Shutter and Sound's coordinator, Julian Spessard. Julian is extremely responsive, helpful, and an all-around great personality. I'm sure that coordinating anything wedding-related during these uncertain times is not an easy feat, but Julian makes it look not only effortless but fun and exciting, which really helped keep our spirits up when planning got particularly stressful.
I could truthfully write forever about how much I love this company and their staff; I cannot say enough good things about them. Thank you SO much Julian, Juan, and Maria, and Shutter and Sound as a whole. If you go with anyone for videography for any event, let it be them--you will be so beyond grateful that you did!!!
Shutter & Sound is the best! Would absolutely recommend them to anyone. After postponing our wedding reception due to COVID I knew I still wanted them there for our microwedding so now we get to have the pleasure with working with them twice! Thank you S&S team for creating beautiful memories for us to watch and cherish for years to come.
As you can imagine, getting married during COVID-19 is not easy, but Shutter and Sound was an absolute pleasure to work with throughout our entire process. Anytime we had questions, they got back to us so quickly. Anytime we had a thought or an idea, they were ready and eager to work with us and brainstorm. I would recommend Shutter and Sound to anyone who ever asked. And I wouldn't hesitate for a minute to use them again.
Kenny did an amazing job on our highlight video! Him and his assistant captured our wedding day (8-11-19) wonderfully and incorporated our parents and immediate family members which was important to us. The video is such high quality and fits perfectly with the song that we chose for the video. We can see why Kenny is one of the lead photographers at Shutter and Sound. My husband and I recently watched our highlight video again on our 1 month anniversary and we are still in love with the video! We can't wait to see the ceremony and reception video as well as the raw footage when it arrives in the mail. Furthermore, the scheduling manager Jack is very quick to answer your questions via email and your correspondence throughout the wedding planning process; which is a breath of fresh air. Would highly recommend Shutter and Sound if you want a beautiful wedding video.

Best wedding vendor decision we made! Kenny was our videographer in Chicago (he also happened to shoot my brother-in-laws wedding), and we can't say enough good things about him. He worked extremely well with our photographer and was great under a time crunch or timeline change. Behind the scenes, Jack helped so much with decision making and accommodating when we couldn't make one. Thank you so much for everything! We are so happy with the video.
We hired Shutter and Sound to capture our wedding day, and we couldn't be more pleased with the results! Our wedding video is beautiful, and we've had numerous compliments on the quality of our highlight reel. Our videographers, Juan and Andy, went above and beyond to ensure that everything went smoothly on our special day. They were both fun to work with, and they made us feel comfortable from the moment they walked in. They worked closely with our photographer, which made it easy to capture lots of great footage in a short amount of time. Finally, they were able to accommodate our flexible (and ever-changing) shot list; they traveled all over the city with us in spite of bad weather and the omnipresent Chicago traffic. We have nothing but great things to say about our experience with Shutter and Sound - Juan and Andy are the best!
We spent hours watching wedding videos before we stumbled across Shutter & Sound on instagram. There's something about their videos that we fell in love with. They're beautifully shot, fun and make you feel something without being predictable and traditional. We got married last month, and Poria shot our wedding video. Him and his second shooter arrived on time and got right to work getting all the shots they needed. They worked pretty seamlessly with our photographer and most of the time we didn't even notice they were there. We received our highlight video about 2 weeks after the wedding and it is incredible. We couldn't love it more and have already watched it way too many times. It captures all the feelings of the day and highlights the most important parts of the day. We are so glad we decided to go with Shutter & Sound and will definitely cherish our video for years to come.
Hands down, Shutter and Sound was the best decision I made for my wedding day. Juan and Spencer were my videographers for the day, and they were kindest, sweetest, and most easy going individuals I have ever met. Even when a few things went wrong during the day, they both went along with the flow and adapted instantly to make sure I didn't have a panic attack. Juan knew exactly how to calm me down and make me feel like everything was going to be okay on his watch. And guess what, it was! I wish I could give you all a behind the scenes look of my day and have you truly see how talented, professional, and absolutely loads of fun Spencer and Juan are. My husband and I will get to cherish their beautiful artwork of our wedding highlight video, the Instagram Highlight video (highly suggest purchasing this feature), and our full wedding video for the rest of our lives. I catch myself watching my wedding highlight video quiet often and each time I never fail to cry. The shots compliment with the brilliant music choices perfectly capture Shane's and my love for each other and the feeling we wanted to give our guests as they celebrated our day with us: love, laughter, and a night that will be remembered forever.
I can go on for hours about how much I loved working with Shutter and Sound, but I am going to get to the point: Hire Shutter and Sound. You will not regret it. Go check out Shane's and my video and you will see how talented there are!!! :)

Working with Shutter and Sound was amazing, the videographers arrived on time, were incredibly friendly, and got a ton of footage without feeling like you had a camera in your face all night. They communicated with us very effectively before and after the wedding, and we got our completed video within 2 weeks of the wedding. It's an incredibly video that I've watched about 100 times. Everyone who sees it says it looks like a real movie, they captured so many great moments and edited it together perfectly. 10/10 would recommend using them!
We had an amazing experience working with Shutter and Sound, and we couldn't be happier with our wedding highlight video - we have probably watched it at least 20 times since we first received it about a week ago. Alex was our videographer and he is a complete professional and knew exactly what he was doing, and made us feel really comfortable the entire time. He also did an absolutely fantastic job editing the video, which flowed seamlessly and beautifully. Their pricing is also extremely fair, and the quality of the work is really top-notch. We are so happy we opted for a videographer, as we'll be able to replay these happy memories over and over again, all thanks to Shutter and Sound!
To say I am obsessed with our wedding trailer is an understatement! Kenny with Shutter and Sound in Chicago did an absolutely fantastic job capturing our day and the resulting trailer is like something for a movie. What really drew me to this company is that when I watched their videos, I cried. They made me emotional and I didn't even know the people in them! Needless to say, I cried about the first 15 times I watched my own video. Shutter and Sound beautifully captures the feelings and emotions of the day, and I am so glad we worked with them!
We had a wonderful experience working with Kylee Parks, the scheduling manager, and Austen Paul, our main video producer, for our October 2018 wedding in San Mateo, CA. From the very start, Kylee was extremely attentive, patient, thorough, and helpful in guiding us through package, music selection, and wedding day decisions. She was easily accessible through email and by phone, accommodating every question and request we made. Kylee was a joy to work with and made the overall planning and logistical experience smooth and pleasant.
On our wedding day, we met Austen and his lovely second cinematographer. They both arrived early, looked professional, and were ready to get to work. Austen and his second shooter were creative with their angles, perfected lighting and colors, and knew how to beautifully capture the moment without interfering. They made us, our family, and honored guests feel comfortable and most importantly, free to be ourselves. We appreciated how they worked collaboratively with our photographers under our strict time constraints, especially since they both needed to get their necessary shots.
Our short highlight video was ready in just 7 days after our wedding. We were impressed, to say the least, with the quick turnaround time but also with the professional quality of the video. Austen and his team were generous with their time, even allowing us to make changes to our finalized product. After a few weeks, we received our highlight video, our multi-cam edit, and the raw footage in a convenient external hard drive. We will be sure to replay them for years to come as we reminisce on our wonderful day. We could not be happier with the Shutter and Sound Films SF team and we, along with my professional photographer brother, will be highly recommending them to our engaged family and friends.
Amazing! Everyone we worked with was extremely helpful, responsive, and most importantly: friendly. Our main shooter was Eric and not only is he great at what he does, but he’s also personable and great to have with you for 8+ hours!! It was less than 20 degrees the day of our wedding and our first look was outside. Eric made sure to get every shot he needed as quickly as possible without losing any quality. He didn’t waste any time planning his next shot or what he wanted us to do. He knew exactly what he was doing the entire time.
Kylee, the Scheduling Manager, helped with all the “paperwork” and answered all of our questions throughout the entire process. She was so quick to respond to my emails that it was like we were having a real-time conversation! One thing I really liked was how we paid. It was through an electronic debit from your checking account and you could pay as much as you wanted, anytime you wanted, as long as it was completely paid off by the due date. With all the vendors needing final payments around the same time and mostly all requesting these payments via check, it was great to have the option to make instantaneous payments throughout the months on our own schedule.
We received our highlight video literally FIVE DAYS after the wedding. How fast is that?! The video is absolutely perfect and we are continuously receiving compliments on it. We can’t stop watching it ourselves! The rest of our package will be delivered in the upcoming weeks, but I am so glad we already have the highlight.
I love that Shutter and Sound allows you to purchase all the raw footage from the day. I know I missed out on so much and I’m excited to be able to catch some of it! This is in addition to the ceremony and speeches, which I also can’t wait to watch. So happy we’ll be able to have all of this for the rest of our lives—and this is coming from a couple who originally decided NOT to have a videographer.
Love Shutter and Sound and am so, so happy we found them for our wedding day!
I was married on New Years Day at Willowdale Estate in Topsfield, MA and Shutter and Sound's Boston team BLEW US AWAY. From day one, Quinn was so unbelievably helpful and kind. My now husband and I went back and forth on having a videographer and we are SO VERY GLAD that we did. If you are on the fence, don't hesitate - you need Shutter and Sound in your life. Cody was our videographer and he was nothing short of incredible. He was so lovely to work with and made the planning process a breeze. We aren't local to MA anymore but Cody was not only flexible with our planning phone calls, but he completely took any worry/stress out of planning from a distance. He was amazing on the day of the wedding and made the process so fun. We just received our highlight video yesterday (just two weeks after the wedding!) and we are so obsessed. We have watched it 100 times in the past 12 hours and love it more every time. Cody captured our day so perfectly. We can't say enough good things about Cody, Quinn, and Shutter and Sound. We are forever grateful!
Our highlight video for those who are curious: https://vimeo.com/311514185
My husband and I got married this past New Years Eve at the Boston Harbor Hotel and so far, Shutter and Sound has exceeded our expectations. Initially, I was apprehensive about hiring a videographer, it seemed like a large extra expense that we could do without. However, I had done a lot of research, and took the plunge with Shutter and Sound. I’m so glad we made the decision to hire them to do the videography for our wedding. Cody, our Boston-based videographer from Shutter and Sound was wonderful to partner with and produced EXCEPTIONAL work. We just received our highlight video and were BLOWN AWAY. We highly highly recommend using this company and requesting Cody (if you are in the Boston area). We had such a positive experience and are sure we will have plenty more to rave about when we see our full feature documentary which is scheduled to arrive in about a month. FIVE STARS to Cody from Shutter and Sound, you rocked it!
We were so happy with our choice to use Shutter and Sound for our wedding. When looking for videographers, it was their editing style that stood out to me compared to others. After seeing their work on their website, I knew they were the ones for us! Quinn was a pleasure to work with and was extremely responsive to all of our questions. Our videographer Mike was amazing to work with and is incredibly talented! He captured every little detail of our wedding day. We can’t stop watching our highlight video! It moved us and our family and friends to tears. It is beautifully done and is something we will cherish forever.
Shutter and Sound were fabulous to work with. The entire team was very responsive from the beginning to the end. On our actual wedding day they came prepared and ready to get the best shots. We received our Highlight Video within a week and were beyond happy with the quality and detail.
We highly recommend using Shutter and Sound if you want the best quality and a professional team!
I can't believe we ever considered skipping a videographer! Shutter and Sound is worth every penny!
Alex and Elissa were totally unobtrusive, and somehow captured all the amazing moments that meant so much to us, even some that were such a blur that we didn't remember until seeing the short video. Video really conveys our personalities and the way that my dress moved, in a way that still photos didn't manage to capture.
We didn't want the usual "getting ready" shots, and Alex is such a professional that he didn't need any extra directions to send us a perfectly-edited short video. (Also, it turns out that you can't use a drone in NYC/Brooklyn anymore, but they had amazing footage to use, so we weren't even upset.) We were so surprised to get the email that the video was ready while we were still on our honeymoon! It is just the right length (about 3 minutes) and it lets me re-live our wedding day every time I watch it.
We had the pleasure of using Shutter and Sound of Boston for our wedding in October 2018. Our videographers, Michael and Kevin, were amazing! They first met the bride and groom at their respective homes, and filmed every moment leading up to the ceremony. During the ceremony they used multiple cameras in order to make sure they did not miss a thing! Same thing goes for the reception, where it seemed that they were always in the middle of the action, making sure to document each special moment. They captured so many incredible moments that went by in the blink of an eye, but that we will now be able to remember and cherish for our entire lives! When we received our highlight video a few weeks after the wedding, we were blown away!! Somehow, they were able to fit all of the most important moments into a perfectly flowing masterpiece that captured the essence of our wedding day! All of our families and friends could not stop sending us compliments in regard to how much they loved the highlight video. We are currently waiting for our hard drive of the multi-camera edit and the raw footage, but if the highlight video is any representation of what is to come, we are sure to be extremely pleased with this as well. Overall, we were extremely happy with our choice of videographer, and we would recommend Shutter and Sound of Boston to all our friends and families.
MUST HAVE! Early in the wedding planning process we were unsure if we wanted to use a videographer. After we were introduced to Shutter and Sound we were convinced we had to have a videographer. When we received our video we were beyond impressed and in tears. Excellent job!
I just had the wedding of my dreams and am so glad that Shutter and Sound was there to capture every moment of it. Alex was amazing to work with! I am OBSESSED with our highlight reel and have probably watched it 200 times by now. I am a buyer by trade so I'm constantly researching and ranking to make the best purchasing decision. I had an entire spreadsheet of vendor names and gave everyone grades based on their services, prices, personalities, etc. Shutter and Sound was a no brainer compared to everyone else! They are affordable, reliable and super talented. Thank you Shutter and Sound!
Shutter and Sound is an efficient and super organized production team! I emailed them to inquire about availability and was immediately contacted with the scheduler who ironed out some initial details and BAM, I had my videography team within a few emails. They are clear in their instructions and process; I felt very taken care of and assured that I would be well taken care of. They have reasonable prices for really thorough packages. About a week before my wedding, i was contacted by the videographers that would work my big day and both David/Tony turned out to be such fun guys! You can tell they love their job and really want to get the best shots possible. They have such an artistic vision and my video has the perfect romantic yet carefree edit that I wanted.
From the very start, Quinn was so helpful explaining the different packages, all the way to gathering all the information needed for our big day. We ended up choosing "The Short" which includes 3-4 min cinematic highlight and a 1-2 hour multi-cam edit of ceremony and main events of reception, documentary-style. We also added on the raw footage. "Mike, Not Joe" was our main videographer and he couldn't have been more kind and calm, he made us feel so at ease. The other videographer, who started with the guys and who's name I didn't catch, was reportedly, "the bomb" and helped tie their ties and instruct them on proper tie clip placement.
We received our highlight video, TWO, yes, you read that right, TWO DAYS after our wedding. Of course we had to watch it right away despite being in a brewery in Maine on our mini-moon. It left both of us crying our eyes out, I think I audibly sobbed. It's a masterpiece. My dad said it best, I think; he said they captured us and our personalities so perfectly after only knowing us for a short amount of time. And a friend said it second best; "Hunter Hayes WISHES that was his music video!" I've probably watched it about 50 times in the past 37 days since we've received it and have also thrown it up on a giant TV at work and showed 25 of my coworkers. Everyone that watches it cries and is floored by the quality and beauty and how fast we received it! We haven't received our long form video yet, but I'm sure it's going to be equally as amazing. Don't hesitate, hire Shutter and Sound!
TL;DR
15/10 recommend. Absolutely incredible. Best decision we've ever made.
We are so happy with our video! All the moments captured in the most amazing way. Alex and Elisa were very easy to work with the day of. Alex even went out of the way to get drone footage for us :) We are also glad to receive all the raw footage which we opted in to purchase. Thank you Shutter & Sound!
P.S. Feel free to check out our video for your reference! https://vimeo.com/295649885
Shutter and Sound is profoundly good at what they do. Quinn, our contact there, was always on top of things, very easy to work with, and was very responsive.
Ched and Jeannelle were nothing short of masterful on our big day. We've actually seen the two of them work twice now (once for a friend's wedding a month prior to our own, and then our own this past weekend), and each time, they captured high-quality footage both individually and together.
We can't recommend Shutter and Sound enough, and we can't recommend these three highly enough. If you decide to go with them, you'll be in very capable hands.
Shutter and Sound completely surpassed our expectations. We chose them because they had a true cinematic style in all their videos and also offered a drone. Their video packages are also very competitive and reasonable, you get alot!!! Our videographer was Michael and he was amazing to work it! Very nice and courteous and communication was superb. To be available like that definitely makes the experience that much better and enjoyable. Communication with the company is also great, through Quinn who takes care of the pre-event details. We are highly recommending them to all our friends!
WOWWWW! Our wedding video exceeded our expectations. From the very beginning working with Quinn who was so helpful and super quick to respond to all my emails. To our wedding day working with Michael who truly has a gift. Also the drone footage we added to our package was worth every penny, it made our video so cool! THANK YOU SHUTTER AND SOUND YOU GUYS ARE INCREDIBLE!
From the great communication, easy planning/scheduling, to the final product- we could not be happier that we had Shutter and Sound to capture our day. Our videographer, Hans, is incredibly talented with an artistic eye. Our highlight video came back so quickly and looks like a trailer to the greatest love story ever told. The Shutter and Sound team was so lovely to work with answering our questions and making our day feel like a dream. Hans captured raw and real moments without ever getting in the way of them, made us feel very comfortable and put our video together beautifully. We truly can't say enough good things about Shutter and Sound.
Let's just say that I've been watching strangers' wedding videos since I was in high school. I absolutely LOVE them, so when my husband and I got engaged, I knew finding the most PERFECT videographer for our big day was a top priority.
We live in San Francisco, but our wedding was down in Disneyland, so we actually used The Knot to start our search for Southern California videographers. I pretty much spent a month researching a number of videographers, watching so many different videos, but I always found myself going back to Shutter & Sound. Well, we decided to book them.
On the day of our Wedding, Alex was amazing! We were able to get a ton of shots and he never felt in the way. It wasn't until I received my video (which was just 2 days ago!) when I realized just HOW amazing Alex (& the 2nd videographer) were. The shots were PERFECT. They were better than I could have every imagined. He gave us a lot of directions on the day of the wedding and in the moment it was sometimes feel kind of funny, but he knew what he was doing because those shots were perfect. And then the editing of the video - AMAZING. I can't stop watching this video and everyone along with my husband and I are obsessed with it!
This wasn't just a regular video, this truly was a piece of art and something SO special you can look back on for years to come of your big day. If you appreciate wedding videography and are as picky with it as I am, then Shutter & Sound is the company for you! Book them... you won't regret it!
Shutter and Sound Films thank you for making this masterpiece. September 8th, 2018 is a day we will never forget in large part thanks to you 💙 Ched and his wife may have been the highlight of our entire experience. Such a pleasure working with you. You managed to capture the exact intimate moments, the quickness and awkwardness of Don and I, and our overall vision and feel of how our day went. Quinn, from the time we inquired and booked to our day and even after, you were always there. Thank you so so so much.
If anyone is looking for a videographer, CHOOSE THESE GUYS!
As a couple from Boston getting married in Miami, this was hands down one of my favorite vendors to work with out of the whole wedding being out of state. Their experience, patience, advice and all around professional and fun attitude before, during and after the wedding was phenomenal. Great video quality with even greater people.
Choosing Shutter and Sound was one of the best decisions we made for the wedding. Hans was great to work with and captured our wedding day perfectly. Our family and friends are so impressed with our video wishing they would have had our "short" for their own weddings. These guys are truly talented and professional. I would recommend Shutter and Sound to anyone looking for a modern wedding video. They have an ability to capture the true feeling of the event. It was also nice to get our "short" shortly after we returned from our honeymoon.
Amazing! Simply amazing! From the moment I emailed Quinn, I knew that Shutter and Sound was for me. Quinn was very responsive and helped me so much along the way!
When I met Kenny on the day of my wedding, I knew that the day would be simply perfect. He helped with the little things and big things and made sure that my video was more than I could’ve asked for!
Shutter and Sound did an excellent job with our wedding video. The shooter/editor Juan was wonderful to work with and really captured the spirit and mood of the day. People were tearing up with how beautiful the highlight video was. I would highly recommend them.
Shutter & Sound is such a great company to work with. Quinn is very responsive and friendly. I'm so glad that I had found them to record my wedding day - they created such a beautiful video that I can relive my wedding day over and over again. I made some slight changes here and there and couldn't decide on the song for the video but Quinn was very patient with me.
Doyle and his wife were great to work with as well! I personally am not the most creative person so I sort of depended on them to let me know what they wanted to do. Me and my husband felt very comfortable working with them.
I'm grateful for all their help and patience leading up to my wedding day. I highly recommend them!
We started our search for a videographer with Ryan Geldermann, whose fabulous work we had seen at a friend’s wedding. Ryan informed us that he personally was booked on our date, but recommended we take a look at his company Shutter and Sound. After looking at some of Seth’s work and speaking with him over the phone, we knew we had found our videographer!
Seth worked with us before the wedding to determine a videography schedule that worked for everyone and made sure he and his second shooter were prepared for our big day. Then on the day of our wedding, he worked extremely well with our photographer and did a great job of capturing the moment without inserting himself in the moment. Plus he was flexible when the weather didn’t cooperate and we had to change our plan! I was SO HAPPY with our experience with Seth on the day of our wedding – he and the second shooter were so pleasant and I’m so glad they were a part of our big day!
After our wedding, we continued to experience great communication with Shutter and Sound. They were flexible when we decided to use a brand new song for our highlight video, and waited to create our video until the song was finally available. Then they completed our highlight video in a timely fashion and then quickly mailed our 3 blu rays and raw footage. We couldn’t be happier and are so thankful we chose Shutter and Sound to help capture our special day!
AMAZING! We didn't meet our videographer until the day of the wedding, but Austin came right in and made it feel like you've known him for years. He also had our video to us FIVE DAYS after our wedding - unheard of! Super easy company to work with in regards to booking and planning. They take care of all the big details for you and their final product is the best I've seen!
Beautiful and elegant style, great people to work with, and fast turnaround time for the wedding highlight video. I am so happy that I picked Shutter and Sound for my wedding, definitely will recommend to anyone who is looking for a wedding videographer.
Eric from S&S Films truly did a beautiful job with our video! It was so touching and beautiful, our family and friends said repeatedly that it felt like a movie trailer! Eric also allowed me to make some edits to include some important moments to me and my husband. I cry every time I watch. Eric and his assistant were so kind and easy to work with the day of as well as their S&S manager Kylee who answered all my questions very promptly and did the booking/contract details. Wonderful experience with this vendor and well worth the money!
Thank you so much! Words cannot express how amazing our video is, and I'm not just saying this because I have to. To have so much talent to turn a whole wedding into this video, and cover every aspect of it, is simply phenomenal. It made me cry, laugh, smile and extremely happy. Thank you so much for being so passionate about this. I remember Doyle asking me about what I wanted photographed and captured, thank you for caring about my outfits, my jewelry and every little detail. I am so grateful! It was also really nice just hanging out and talking to Doyle, I know our wedding was very loud and chaotic and Doyle handled everything so well! I am so proud of you, Doyle! I will cherish this video forever, and I hope you keep creating beautiful videos like this. Thank you for everything!
SHUTTER AND SOUND were the best choice we could have made! Mike was an amazing videographer (so nice, so calm and really made us feel comfortable!) and our highlight video is the most wonderful video I have ever seen! We will cherish it forever... and watch it 1 million more times. Thank you so much for capturing our day and love!
I can't express how incredibly beautiful our wedding video turned out. The footage and the way it was edited exceeded all of our expectations. Kevin Joel was our videographer. He was not only extremely funny and made us feel at ease but he captured all of our magical moments so effortlessly. Thank you to Kevin and Marquis for joining us for our day and making it all that more perfect! Shutter and Sound were easy to work with and always communicative. They listened to us to and saw our vision. Thank you Shutter and Sound! You are all incredible.
Shutter and sounds was great to work with. Our videographer assigned to us (Michael Cunningham) was fantastic. He was perceptive and flexible to our in the moment needs, worked very well with our photographer, and overall is a great person. After our wedding day he clearly got right to work as we got to see his great camera work and unreal / unique editing skills and style in our video while we were still on our honeymoon. Our expectations were definitely exceeded. Thanks again @cunninghamaesthetics ! And for reference here’s the video: https://vimeo.com/285111695
I wish I could give Shutter & Sounds more than 5 starts- Absolutely unbelievable! What drew me to this company when I was shopping around for videographers, was their cinematic effect to their videos. They truly stood out to me from all the rest with the quality of their videos.
On the day of my wedding, Michael & and his partner were great! They both had great personalities and what I truly loved most is they weren't in the way, they were just off to the side collecting this footage not knowing the beautiful work that would come of it.
We got our highlight video less than two weeks following the wedding and I was STUNNED with the result. The highlight video moved me to tears all over again and the compliments we got from friends and family and even strangers were outstanding.
For those looking for a videographer for their wedding I would just want to let you know how essential a videographer truly is. There is so much you miss on your wedding day and so many parts you want to relive, and having this video to look back on is such a gift. Shutter & Sound Films are phenomenal and my husband & I are over the moon with our video footage. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
My husband and I booked Shutter and Sound Films 8 days prior to our wedding. We were engaged for almost 2.5 years, and we were going back and forth on a videographer. Prior to booking, we realized we were below budget and decided to book a videographer. We are SOOO happy we did. Quinn was very responsive to our emails/calls and the contract was executed a few days prior to our wedding day. We worked with Mike and Joe on our wedding day. They were present for almost 12 hrs, and we did not even notice them. We received our video on our honeymoon and less than a week after our wedding, it was such a pleasant surprise! We have watched it almost 10 times and multiple friends and families have messaged us about how much they love the video. Some say it even looks like a music video. We strongly recommend Shutter and Sound! We got the package with 12 hrs of raw footage, 3.5 minute highlight video with dialogue.
Just amazing! This gift is certainly a treasure!!! I cannot begin to describe the feeling of watching our highlight film after our wedding. 100% choose Shutter and Sound to capture the subtleties you miss while you are caught up all day.I watched the video over and over and kept seeing new things. From start to finish this team of talented artists were so easy to work with. Communicating with Quinn was a breeze and working with Michael on the day of was so easy and laid back.
Shutter and Sound films is in one word AMAZING! My wife Brittan wanted a video so bad and I seriously did not want to spend the additional money... I mean seriously who watches their wedding video that often. Well I’m happy to say that it’s worth every penny!! The short edited film they give you is like your own personal movie trailer of your entire wedding day (which you WILL watch over and over again... and so will your family and friends). You also get all your raw unedited footage. The two videographers we had (Kevin & Mike) were super professional, fun to be around and make you feel like movie stars! I highly recommend Shutter and Sound Films... and if you want to check out our video just click on the link.

Thank you,

Couldn't have asked for a more perfect wedding video! Shutter and Sound did an amazing job filming all of the details. The videographers were extreamly professional and easy to get along with. Everyone we worked with was so kind and helpful.
Shutter and Sound was so amazing the day of our wedding! They made sure that we were the top priority. They also made us so comfortable in front of the camera. The end result was so amazing too! Very impressed!!!
Shutter and Sound were absolutely perfect on our wedding day! They made myself and my husband feel so comfortable in front of the camera and really captured our special day so well. We also got out 7 minute highlight video within a week- which is amazing! Thank you SO much for being apart of our wedding!
Shutter and Sound is the best choice for videography without a doubt! Quinn from corporate (all email communications I had were with her) was super helpful and very responsive. The cameramen the day of our wedding were great guys and professional as well. Shutter and Sound has such an amazing vision, our video was breathtaking. Fast turnaround too!
Shutter and Sound is sheer perfection. I had hired them only two months before our wedding (after our now former videographer informed us he could “no longer provide a second shooter” for which we were contracted). Naturally, I was in a panic thinking I’d be stuck with undesirable leftover options. Nope – total opposite. I got the absolute best. This ended up being a huge blessing in disguise. Kylee (scheduling manager) was so incredibly helpful and professional. She set us up with Kevin (videographer), who was amazing. Just amazing. This guy worked through the rain and heat of our day without skipping a beat. He was just so upbeat and fun. We received our video less than two weeks after our wedding and I was completely BLOWN away! The editing was out of this world. I could not recommend a videographer more highly than Shutter and Sound. They are absolute perfection and if you are lucky enough to work with them, you will be far from disappointed!
Shutter and Sound Films did an AMAZING JOB!!!! The effort that they put is outstanding. They guided us through the whole process, we did not have to worry about anything. The quality of work and customer service is exceptional, we didn’t even know that they were there, they are smooth like that! Our short video clip was made in exactly 2 days like it says on the website. It turned out so so so beautiful!!!! We were extremely happy with the way it turned out!!!!!! Thank you so much for capturing our special moment that will forever stay in our hearts! We definitely recommend them if you want the best wedding video ever!!
If you don’t have a videographer, these are the ones you need! I actually wanted to hire Ryan Geldermann but he was already booked for my date, and luckily his “brain child” company (Shutter & Sound, of course) agreed to travel down, and I’m SO glad they did! The video they produced (super fast I might add) was exactly what we wanted from Ryan originally, and so many people told me they watched our video 100 times because it was the best edits they’ve ever seen! We’re so in love with it seriously. Doyle + Erin were so great and personable to work with as well! We didn’t have to worry about a single thing and they seemed to jive so well with EVERYONE! One of my best wedding planning decisions made! :)
Words cannot describe how much my husband and I love our videos from Shutter and Sound. They are absolutely breath taking and captivated our day in way we never thought possible. The team of videographers were so fun and awesome to work with. Everyone that we have shared our videos with have also been blown away by the quality of their work. Our wedding videos are one of the few things that we will have to relive our day for the rest of our lives and we cannot be more ecstatic that we chose Shutter and Sound Films to capture it.
If you live in the Philadelphia area, do yourself a favor and request Hans! Not only is he an awesome guy to work with but he is also super talented and created the most perfect wedding video. I was really particular about what I wanted our video to include and so I watched countless examples of S&S videos and sent some notes ahead of time with what I liked and didn't like. It was clear that Hans listened and understood the vibe we were going for. He really captured the essence of our special day. Overall, we couldn't imagine a better company to work with and couldn't be happier about the entire experience. Highly recommend and definitely worth the investment!
We could not be more over the moon with our decision to use Shutter and Sound to capture our wedding day. Alex’s work was beyond! We are so in love with our highlight video and are so excited to receive the raw footage. Stylistically, if you want the very best, you cannot go wrong with Shutter and Sound. We received our highlight back in just two weeks (which is almost unheard of!). Thank you to Kylee who also helped a tremendous deal in our planning - she is super responsive and was an absolute pleasure to work with.
We had a great time working with Jason from Shutter and Sound Miami and our video is fantastic! It rained on our wedding day, but they incorporated it in the video in a beautiful way. We worked with Quinn, the scheduling manager, on the logistics and she was great. Very responsive and answered all the questions we had. They were very flexible and let us do a special package. We had done a lot of research on videographers and found Shutter and Sound had the best value and quality. We originally had some reservations because Jason seemed a little abrupt over email and we weren't sure if we'd feel comfortable and relaxed with him, but he was great in person and we honestly didn't even notice them filming everything on our wedding day. He was very accommodating though because we were told you don't really talk with the videographer until a couple weeks before the wedding but he was kind enough to chat with us on the phone and answer our questions way before our wedding date. We are SO enjoying our wedding video, and everyone who has watched it has loved it. They did such a wonderful job and we are so happy!
They were great to work with and the video was perfect!
I have nothing but wonderful things to say about the Chicago Shutter and Sound team. Their stunning work speaks for itself but the
Shutter and Sound Films were fantastic to work with! They made accommodations for all of our needs and developed the most amazing video to capture our perfect day! They took their time helping us ensure we documented the moments that were most important to us and were flexible for all of our requests. We loved working with them and we highly recommend them!
Shutter and Sound did such an amazing job with our wedding video! Our footage was shot by Kenneth and he took the time to understand and communicate with exactly what we wanted. On the day of the wedding, Kenneth and the second shooter (Poria) did a great job of coaching us through the process and getting the exact shots that we wanted. The final video was delivered quickly, and it went above and beyond our expectations! We also opted for the “deleted scenes” video which provided even more footage of the happiest day of our lives!
There are too many nice things to say about Shutter and Sound film. Not only great style, the editing is also very sophistacated. If you have couple minutes to watch the works they done, you will make the decision with no hesitation.
Another great thing about them I have to mention, shutter and sound film they been very responsive and professional. I got my video in 2 weeks, which much quicker than I thought! The video was great, but I’m very specific person, I had to asked them to put effect on one of the scene. I actually feel really bad and nervous to ask. However, the second day I heard back from the manager, She told me“don’t worry, we wanna you to be happy”!
Many thanks to Alex and Kylee!! I truly love my wedding video and truly appreciated! I strongly recommend shutter and sound film to every new couple who’s looking for great wedding videographers!!
I wasn't convinced I wanted a videographer (or that I wanted to pay for one), but I am SO happy that we booked Shutter and Sound. We bought the package that was a 5 minute highlight video and 90 minute documentary video, and are so happy with both. Everyone was easy to work with and pleasant to be around as they filmed our first look through the end of the reception. You won't regret booking Shutter and Sound (and I thought they were well priced, too!).
Shutter and Sound was an amazing company to work with, from start to finish. Contacting them and keeping in constant communication was a breeze. Quinn, the scheduling manager, always responded within a day to our e-mails and answered all of our questions and concerns. Jason, our videographer, was awesome! He was professional and laid back, definitely went with the flow but got all the shots he needed, he was never demanding with anything. We never met anyone from Shutter and Sound prior to the day of our wedding, but everything was handled perfectly via e-mail. Their turn our time was very fast as well. We went with the "The Short" package and received our highlight video within 2-3 weeks after our wedding! And then it took about 2 months to receive our wedding DVD and a hard drive with all the raw clips of the wedding. I highly recommend them, they're very affordable depending on which package you purchase and the quality of film and editing is just perfection!
Shutter and Sound was Amazing! We are literally Obsessed with our Highlight Video. Matt was such a quiet guy day of and I wasn't sure if he was getting all the shots he need since it was so busy and we were so behind in our schedule. Matt delivered. He was awesome, worked well with our photographer and gave us exactly what we wanted. We were able to choose our song and personalize the video. The Turnaround time is unbelievable. We literally just got married last week and got our video a week later. I would definitely recommend anyone to Shutter and Sound. The team is great, They answer all our questions in a timely manner. If you are looking to have your wedding day look like a movie then choose shutter and sound. I've watched our video hundreds of times by now and I am still shocked by it. This is the closest to ReLiving our wedding day that I can get. I could not thank them enough for making this video and capturing our day.
We were thrilled with our experience with Shutter and Sound. Quinn, the Scheduling Manager, was very easy to work with, responded promptly, and always answered all of our questions.
Michael and his assistant, Kevin, filmed our wedding two weeks in Massachusetts. On the day of the wedding, they were very professional, pleasant, and truly faded into the background (in the best possible way). Everyone was extremely comfortable around them and they worked very well with our photographers. I was very happy with Michael's flexibility to get the "signature shots" but also appreciated his directness in what he was looking for in them.
We just received our highlight video and we love it. It is truly a production - Michael pulled all of the best parts of the night and put it together perfectly. We got "The Feature" and added drone covered and it was well wroth it. I have watched many wedding videos and none compare to the quality of Shutter and Sound.
We are very thankful to have chosen Shutter and Sound and are so happy we have this beautiful video to relive the best day of our lives!
My husband (eek) and I received our wedding highlight video on 4/19 after our 4/14 wedding-super quick!! We can't stop watching it and both of our parents LOVED it--they didn't understand the concept of a highlight video or even what the videographers were doing there (my dad asked if I had thought to record our first dance a couple days after my wedding). Needless to say, when we showed them the video their jaws dropped and they had tears in their eyes by the end! Such a fun and perfect way to remember a day that flew by in a flash-videography is a MUST HAVE for any wedding! Matt was our videographer and he and his assistant did such a great job at capturing footage while being hardly noticeable. We can't wait to see how our ceremony video turns out! Quinn was also great from start to finish during the planning process. The ONLY thing I would have tweaked is the song selection process-I booked Shutter and Sound over a year out from my wedding, and Quinn let me know that the next time I would be contacted was 8 days prior to my wedding. That didn't seem like a big deal at the time, but when I got an email asking to select a song prior to the video being shot (understandable but still a surprise) along with a few other questions, I would have rather received that reminder email a month out vs. a week out to give me more time to plan my song selection/answer questions. Other than that the whole process went seamlessly! Would definitely recommend to any couple considering Shutter & Sound!
We worked with the SF Shutter and Sound team for our wedding and it was one of the best decisions ever. Kylee was knowledgeable and patient in answering all our questions and explaining the logistics while our lead videographer, Marc, is incredibly talented and courteous. We just received our highlight video and it's only been 2 weeks since the wedding! The video is everything we hoped for and more and we are extremely happy with the quality. Both my wife and I highly recommend Shutter and Sound to capture your most precious memories.
PERFECTION!! I absolutely cannot say much more. From the beginning working with Quinn in scheduling to the actual wedding day they made the whole process so stress free!!! We got married on 3/17/18 and just received our highlight video and we were in tears with how amazing it came out! Honestly their work speaks louder than words!! Highly recommended! Thank you shutter and sound for being a huge part of our big day!!!

Where do I begin? I absolutely loved Alex and Tim as they had such an amazingly calming and friendly presence on the day! They were quick and sneaky at getting the perfect shots without being noticed. The most important moment for my husband and I was our first look - such a personal and intimate moment! however, theoretically, would not feel that way with 4 cameras lingering nearby pointed at us. However, in reality, we didn't even notice them! They were so great at just capturing the moment silently and allowing my husband and I to just be overcome with emotion as we forgot we were being watched. That is the moment that I cannot wait to see over and over again.
The ONLY thing that I could say that I was not 100% thrilled with was some of the camera lenses/angles chosen. The reason I say this is that I am a larger curvier bride, and some of the camera lenses chosen made me wider than I already am... I lost 30 lbs for the big day and some of the shots make me look heavier than when I started my weight loss journey. And as I was walking down the aisle, they were shooting up from the ground- not the best angle.
At the end of the day, I am extremely happy and would book them again in a heartbeat! The take away I had is that maybe any future bride discuss with them any insecurities they may have about themselves. but I LOVE LOVE LOVE them and the work that they produced and will cherish every minute of our big day on film!
Shutter and Sound Films did amazing work for our February wedding. We just received our highlight video last week and I can't stop watching it!! They were so easy to work with and very personable. I can't wait to see our full wedding video in a couple weeks!!
