We hired Rick and his assistant Chris to be our wedding videographers. Rick was very professional, knowledgeable, and responsive throughout the whole process.
We are so thankful...
that we went with him. His final edited wedding video was truly a beautiful and stunning piece. We gave him full creative rein. One of the best parts of the video was how he paced it to the music and synchronized clips to the lyrics. Watching it brought tears to our eyes as he captured the excitement and raw emotions of the day. We were impressed with his video work from incorporating wide-angle drone views of Michigan Ave to detailed elements of a snowflake falling on the bride’s eyelashes to a vintage-style camcorder effect of the wedding party singing.
Rick’s artistry and creative vision is unmatched. His video editing skills beautifully crafted our love story like a movie trailer. Our wedding video is so much more than we had hoped for. We cannot say enough praise about Rick‘s work. We will cherish it forever.
I had the pleasure of working with Rick last weekend for a wedding at The Gwen, in downtown Chicago. As the Day of Coordinator, Rick & his team were a dream to work with! Attentive...

For our wedding, we did the Photo + Video Collection with Kristina Ryon from K.Ryon Photography as the photographer and Ricky Wolf from Weddings with Motion as the videographer. Wo...
rth every penny! These two make an incredible team! They are so friendly, easy to communicate with, super creative, and very professional. For our complimentary engagement session, we didn’t want the typical flowery field kind of vibe, but rather something that felt more natural to us. We wanted it to be laid-back and to include our dog and our vintage van. Kristina and Ricky had many creative ideas and seemed just as excited as we were. They made us feel comfortable in front of the camera and really brought our vision to life. It’s obvious they both love what they do and are passionate about their craft. The photos and video turned out even better than we imagined. We received so many compliments and it was awesome seeing them shared on social media. Also, I should mention they both are so thoughtful and caring. Our dog passed away unexpectedly a few weeks after our engagement session. Kristina and Ricky gifted us canvas prints of the photos we took with our dog. It was such a sweet gesture and shows how much they care about their clients. We are so happy with our sneak peek photos and the video preview/reel from our wedding day. We can’t wait to see the full album and video. We highly recommend Kristina and Ricky. They are a powerful, talented team, and so fun to work with. We can’t imagine our wedding experience without these two!
Weddings with Motion shot our multi day Indian wedding. Rick and his crew were professional, responsive and easy to work with. We loved our videos.
Rick is AWESOME ! He captured our wedding day just as we asked. He was so professional and transparent the whole day. We set up a few zoom calls prior to the wedding date to ensure...
he knew exactly what we wanted and he truly did just that. Could not recommend a better videographer to capture your day.
Rick and his team were AMAZING! He is super down to earth and easy to work with, and our videos turned out better than we could have ever hoped for! We had to reschedule our weddin...

First of all, you NEED video of your wedding day so that every anniversary you can re-live your special day with your spouse! Hiring Rick was a phenomenal decision. We were so orga...
nized before the big day and talked about expectations, and the day of was very low-key, stress-free - exactly what the couple needs. The videos made us cry they were so beautiful. We were very happy with the results and would recommend WWM to everyone looking for a videographer!
Ricky did an amazing job from the day he started working with us. He was open for ideas, patient with our little family, and extremely easygoing on the big day. He is very creati...

Ricky was awesome! Not only was he so easy to work with, but he captured our wedding day perfectly. Beyond his obvious talent as a videographer, I believe it's his personality that...
makes him so good at what he does - there was never a sense of awkwardness from the start. His professionalism and cheeriness really helped make it all flow naturally!
We are so happy with our wedding video - I keep watching it over and over again! Covid brought many last minute changes, but Rick was flexible & worked with us every step of the w...
ay to capture our intimate ceremony perfectly. He went above and beyond by adding some sweet clips of us posing for portraits & shots of our details (rings, program, etc.) to our ceremony video. We can’t wait to work with him again next year for the big celebration!

de you to make the best possible videos! They even came to Milwaukee from Chicago! So happy they were a part of our special day!! Xo
We never planned on having a videographer, but with having to downsize our original wedding to a small ceremony we wanted to have a video to send everyone who couldn't attend. We a...
re so glad we did!!! Not only did Rick spend far more time at the wedding than we had asked (we booked him for the 15 minute ceremony only but he stayed long before and after), but he was so easy to work with, and we just absolutely love our video. Somehow he caught all of the sweet moments and was able to edit out the awkward ones!! It's wonderful!! We love it so much that we've asked to book again for our postponed wedding next year!
Rick's team did a fantastic job at our wedding! We wanted everything to be bright and full of life during our "day party" and Weddings With Motion captured that vibe perfectly. We ...
ordered a trailer and they put all the pieces together in a way that really captured the entire day! Most of our guests were very impressed with the way they moved through the party without intruding or stopping the flow of the party. They were on time and communicated expectations throughout. Top notch job!
Absolutely Weddings With Motion needs to be your go for video for your wedding. This is a long overdo review, but if you are in the middle of planning your wedding, you'll realize ...
after that it stays just as busy! We searched multiple sites for a videographer and I ended up showing my (now) wife multiple options and did a blind video showing of several different ones. Every single time she picked out the Weddings with Motion video and stated that it looked so professional, cinematic, had amazing quality of the video and audio, and just stuck out as being the best. Ricky and his crew did not disappoint on our wedding day. Our two videos that we received were beyond what we hoped for. They absolutely captured the beauty of our day and it's like watching a professionally-made movie of our wedding! We also did the raw footage, which is a lot of fun to watch.
Outside of the quality of the video, Ricky and his crew are just awesome people and extremely personable. We had a party bus and having them part of our whole day just added to the fun. They were a hit with everyone in the wedding party and went above and beyond to make our day perfect. I can't recommend them enough.
When we were talking about wedding plans, we knew we wanted a photographer, and my (now) wife wasn't sure she wanted a videographer due to cost. Not only was Ricky the best we could find, he was more affordable then a lot of companies out there. We really felt like he provided a fair price but delivered way more than what we would have gotten from anyone else. I wrote a song and performed it for my bride on the wedding day, and Ricky was able to capture it perfectly and incorporate it into our video as well. We are both absolutely pleased and extremely grateful that we had Weddings with Motion as part of our wedding day, and we forever have an outstanding video documentation for the rest of our lives.
If you are looking for a videographer, look no further, and just hope that Ricky and his crew are available, because you won't find better. Just watch his sample videos and you'll see how amazing they are. Thank you to Ricky and everyone else for making our wedding day perfect, and for giving us a treasured memory for the rest of our lives. We can't thank you enough for how perfectly you captured our love on that day.
My husband and I were a bit hesitant to use a videographer as we had a very short and intimate wedding and weren't sure it would be worth it. RIcky only had about an hour with us t...
o capture video. However, we were blown away with how beautiful and special the video turned out! I still haven't made it through the video without crying tears of joy. If he could make such an amazing video for us with 1 hour of video, I can't imagine how special the video would be with several hours of footage! Ricky is incredibly talented and professional. I highly recommend Wedding with Motion. Our wedding video is our most treasured piece that we have to remember our wedding day - we can't stop watching it!!
Ricky and his crew did an amazing job at our wedding! They were training another videographer as well at the time so we ended up getting an extra view of the whole thing. They we...
re very interactive and the preview video brought tears to our eyes. Highly recommended!
Weddings With Motion and Ricky + team are the absolute best! Extremely professional, talented, & fun. They were the perfect compliment to our wedding day. They were able to capture...
the most amazing footage and produce a stunning video, while barely being noticed throughout the day. They have mastered the art of being discreet and in the background, yet getting "the shot" every single time. Friends + family claimed our video looked like a Hollywood trailer. Would definitely recommend!
Ricky Wolf just sent me my wedding video and now I’m all up in my feels!! Got me ugly crying and smiling like a creep over here at work 🙈 Great job Ricky!!! I love everything abou...
t it!!! 😍 Anyone looking for a videographer, I highly recommend Weddings With Motion! He was very professional and honestly one of the kindest people I have ever met.
My fiance hired Ricky to video our engagement and I am so glad that he did! The video is so amazing and Ricky really captured all of the wonderful moments of the night. Everything ...
was perfect and I can't wait to work with him for our wedding!
Find Ricky on Vimeo to see the examples of his great work. :)
I thought I was in good hands with Ricky Wolf Media, but CLEARLY I WASN'T. Important moments weren't captured and the whole reception wasn't either. No sound, BAD QUALITY overall....
SO DISAPPOINTING, SO SAD, IT'S A SHAME!
It started out good but after we received the video he forgot to have his microphone on in key moments. He was suppose to film the entire reception and that was also not done. I wi...
sh I used a different video company for my wedding. So sad.
After looking through upwards of 100 videographers and being completely unsatisfied with what I was seeing for the price, I was elated to come across Ricky Wolf. His work on vimeo ...
was incredible compared to everything else that I was seeing and far exceeded that of all of the cookie-cutter photography/videography combo companies that kept popping up. His prices are unbeatable for the high quality work that he produces! Ricky was prompt in all of our communication with each other from the beginning. He worked so well with our photographers and provided my husband and I with patient direction on the day of our wedding. He was so low-key at the wedding, I completely forgot he was there until he came to say goodbye. I would recommend him to any bride and groom to be! Ricky is an unbeatable videographer!
