Shutter & Sound | Photo & Video

ade 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 :) Venue - Loft on Lake, 5/29/21 - Giana & Dominic

herish our video forever and appreciate everyone at Shutter And Sound so much!!

t 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!

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!

ing 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.

ny 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!!!

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.

h 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. Link to our video: https://vimeo.com/354696761

e 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.

uality 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!

oing 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!!! :) ~ Maura and Shane O'Mara

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!

rst 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!

ery 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.

o 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!

ing 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!

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.

est 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!

t 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.

videographer. When we received our video we were beyond impressed and in tears. Excellent job!

eel 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!

hich 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.

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

re 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.

e 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!

orking 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!

ncredibly 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.

ERFECT 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!

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!

e, advice and all around professional and fun attitude before, during and after the wedding was phenomenal. Great video quality with even greater people.

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.

y 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!

tearing up with how beautiful the highlight video was. I would highly recommend them.

iful 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!

t 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!

AYS 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!

nitely will recommend to anyone who is looking for a wedding videographer.

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!

d 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!

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!

as 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.

y 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

ect 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!

ing, 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.

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.
