Whole Heart Video

g and was there for any important moment, and finally Ben's edits were top notch. Multiple people have now cried watching our wedding videos. Highly recommend!

y to answer any of our questions. Niko was our videographer and he did such an amazing job. He was easy to work with and blended in with our group from the get go! He captured so many cute and intimate moments throughout the day and it was heartwarming to share these videos with our family who weren’t able to attend. Thank you Whole Heart for an unforgettable experience! We highly recommend 5/5!

decisions we’ve ever made! Ben took great care to get to know us as a couple and learn about what we like, how we interact, and what our families prioritize. On our wedding day, he not only captured everything perfectly, but he also provided an energy spark that only he can. During our first look, his creative energy was so impactful. And during our reception, he was constantly finding us and energizing us and our guests. The final product is a showstopper — we (and our families) can’t stop watching it. Thank you!!!

edding day run so smoothly and captured every moment! Highly recommend!!!

gy. They have a lot of flexibility for types of videos to get and customizable packages which was super helpful. After looking at the footage we had a few specific things we wanted to make sure we highlighted and Ben was so accommodating and kind to make sure every last detail in our videos reflected exactly what we wanted. We (and our family) love these videos so much!

c moment. The footage of our ceremony and speeches was beautiful and we will watch it for years to come. We received all our footage promptly and love every moment. Highly recommend!!

e videography turned out for this amazing wedding! Looking forward to working with him for many more weddings in 2025!

His friendly and professional demeanor helped us relax and enjoy our special moments. Ben captured our wedding day beautifully, creating videos that we will cherish forever. We opted for the package that included a small highlight reel, a long reel, and full ceremony and reception reels. Each video was crafted with care and attention to detail, perfectly capturing the essence of our day. Ben’s use of a drone added a unique and special character to our videos. The aerial shots provided a stunning perspective and truly enhanced the overall quality of the footage. His creativity and technical skills were evident, and he captured both the big moments and the intimate details with equal finesse. Throughout the planning process, Ben was responsive and accommodating. He took the time to understand our vision and preferences, ensuring that the final product reflected our personalities and the atmosphere of our wedding. We highly recommend Whole Heart Productions to anyone looking for a talented and dedicated videographer.

a beautiful way. We were recommended Whole Heart Video and have recommended it to other friends getting married as well because the experience was better than we could have imagined. Ben made us feel comfortable from the very beginning and had great communication. He also worked so well with our photographer. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and are so incredibly happy we have our video to look back on for years to come!!

ng. He was very clear about expectations and answered all of our questions as they came up. Ben was also so lovely day-of--very kind, energetic, supportive, and he made us feel comfortable all day. The editing process afterwards was a breeze, and he has great instincts when it comes to getting shots and editing them down. We could not be happier with how our wedding video turned out, and would gladly recommend Ben to anyone!!

ons. For many people weddings are already stressful; especially when you’re not used to being the center of attention. As soon as Ben showed up on wedding day (early) he brought an outgoing, hilarious vibe that made the day less stressful! When we received our videos back we cried from happiness reliving our day. He did an amazing job capturing people we asked to get video footage of and the overall editing was seamless and so well done. We are so happy we decided to go with Whole Heart video and cannot wait to show these videos to our future children and family! We highly recommend whole heart video for your wedding and am forever grateful! Thank you Ben!!! - Adam & Michelle

detail and flexibility to different locales and changes are all great qualities we noticed in working together Would highly recommend working with Ben for all of you video needs!

nd we were able to FaceTime and get to know each other before the wedding! Nick was so kind, creative, and funny! He made my husband and I feel so relaxed on the day of. He went above and beyond providing us props to use for our video (sparklers!!) and kindly took my phone to FaceTime a family member for me during the ceremony using a iPhone stand he had - we are so grateful!! I can’t recommend Nick and Whole Heart Video enough - thank you so much!

h a treat. We also loved the full-length ceremony and reception videos. They captured all the most important details!

tured our candid moments and worked in tandem with our photographer really well. The editing and the music captured the special moments and the happiness of the day perfectly. We are so happy to have these videos to look back on for years to come. Could not recommend Whole Heart Video enough for your wedding videography needs.

he was truly invested in making our videos exactly what we hoped for. The day of videographer, Nico, did a great job and made us feel very comfortable and at ease. The final videos are absolutely beautiful, and we know that we will cherish them for a lifetime. If you're considering hiring a videographer for your special day, I highly recommend Whole Heart Video. Thanks to Ben and his team for making our wedding video so amazing and the experience so easy on us!

he outcome great, but Ben was incredible to work with, and our entire wedding party felt the same (we kept hearing this from all of them!). We felt so comfortable behind the videocam on our big day; the videos clearly show that. Ben is a true professional and artist, and we will cherish these videos forever. Thank you for making our day magical! ABSOLUTELY recommend!

awkward in front of his camera, and our guests didn't even notice he was there as he captured great candid moments. The actual video footage is stunning, and I'm so glad I have important people in my life captured in my wedding film forever. The music and editing of the videos is amazing--we requested a more sentimental angle, and he definitely delivered, though he can also do fun, quirky, etc.-- and he is also quick to implement small changes if requested. On top of it all, his prices are reasonable for the Chicago area. I highly recommend Whole Heart Video for your wedding videography!

in the way" and in fact, we barely knew they were there. The video's came back in a timely fashion and we were blown away!!! We could not have asked for anything more. Now we can look back on these video's for the rest of our lives as a way for us to remember the best day ever! HIGHLY RECOMMEND hiring Whole Heart Video to capture your special day.

everything I asked for. My husband and I were both nervous about being recorded the whole day but Daniel made it seem like he was just there hanging out and not having a camera on us the whole time. Made our videos so much more genuine and real. Highly recommend!

captured our day in the most beautiful way, and created videos for us that we will look back on and cherish forever. Ben was also extremely accommodating when I requested some edits to be made to our videos. Would highly recommend Whole Heart Video for any videographer needs!

extra coverage last minute, and they were eager to help us out.

asy going. He was always there when we needed him to be, but at the same time managed to remain "in the background." He worked well with the photographer and very much went with the flow, all while perfectly capturing all the important moments. The videos he took turned out super well. The turnaround time was timely, and he was remarkable accommodating for small tweaks and edits we requested. I'd highly recommend him. Thanks Ben for all the work!

videos are so unique to us, which is exactly what we wanted. I can’t recommend them enough!

apher, and caught all of the moments that we want captured and remembered for the rest of our lives. He did an outstanding, and timely, job editing the footage. In fact, we liked the job that he did so much, we ended up having him put together a longer highlight video. We could not recommend him enough for your wedding or event. You will not regret it.

es a lot of moving parts. Not only did we have such a blast with Ben and Alex his second shooter the day of, but the end products---wow!! Our highlight, teaser, and full videos are stunning and things we will treasure forever. Ben is truly gifted and knows what he is doing, we had full trust in his suggestions during the day and he perfectly captured all the joy we were feeling. Appreciate you Ben!

uple, and the energy of our wedding day in a packaged video - no small feat! Absolutely hire him!

ving the videos to commemorate our wedding day! Ben was professional, easy to work with, and fun!! We would pick Whole Heart Video again in a heartbeat!!

, even when we were feeling overwhelmed by all of the attention of our wedding day. He worked seamlessly with all of our vendors and did a great job communicating with us throughout his creative process. The highlight reel that Ben made puts a smile on our faces every time we watch. Ben caught so many intimate moments with family and friends, while also capturing the funny moments throughout our wedding day. We will cherish these videos forever.

otographer. Highly recommended!

apture some late night moments. I cannot recommend whole heart enough!!

yable to work with him and spend our wedding day with him. He was also really responsive throughout the whole process and got our videos back to us in a really timely manner! Would definitely recommend him if you are looking for a videographer!

are most critical to your big day. For me, the most important thing was capturing every beautiful moment - that's where Ben with Whole Heart Video came in. I could shout this from the mountain tops - if you're considering hiring a videographer, look no further. Whole Heart Video was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Ben was extremely communicative. With the pandemic we, like so many others, were forced to reschedule our big day... 3 times! He helped us navigate through the stress of rescheduling and continued to encourage us. I had never met Ben face to face but something about him was calming and I felt at ease knowing the task of capturing the big day was in his hands. Let's cut to the actual day - incredible doesn't cut it. Ben came to video my bridesmaids and I the morning of and added so much fun to the day! I speak for my entire crew when I say we felt so comfortable in front of the camera. Ben did such a great job of working hand-in-hand with my photographer - he got so many smiles and candid moments. I'm not super comfortable in front of the camera but I know it was Ben who helped me get there and I was able to *live my best life* without worrying about anything. My husband and I recently got our highlight video back and it was everything I'd hoped it would be. Our day was PERFECTLY captured. When you're in the moment it's hard to hold onto every moment because everything is so overwhelming. What Ben put together for us, knowing all the hours he spent planning and editing, was just so incredibly special. I think it's important to really vibe with your vendors leading up to the wedding and especially on the big day and I would now consider Ben a friend. That's the cherry on top of the incredible videos he curated. I would've always regretted not hiring a videographer for our wedding day, but luckily we hired the best one EVER and I'm so grateful to have met and worked with Ben. Don't look back with regrets - hire Whole Heart Video <3

nd comfortable. The day of he was prompt and captured everything we asked. Our finished products are amazing and we can't wait to watch them over and over. Thank you Ben and Whole Heart!

el at ease from the beginning. Little did we know when we booked Ben that we'd be in for the ride of our lives (aka the year that was 2020) and we had to change our plans several times as things with the pandemic continued to evolve. Ben was incredibly understanding and flexible throughout, and was quick to respond to our questions and new plans. While our day wasn't exactly as planned, we feel so lucky we had such kind and supportive vendors like Ben to help make our day special no matter what it looked like. He truly went above and beyond our needs/asks and it was deeply appreciated. While Ben's fun to have around, you won't even realize he's there. I was worried about being distracted with having another camera or two around, but he truly makes himself disappear and still captures all of the moments. It's really impressive. We are so happy to have our video to play back as there are so many little details that you forget or get glazed over because the day goes by so fast. I'm so happy we have this video to remember our special day. I highly recommend booking Ben. You won't regret it!

ideo footage from my wedding, you'd understand why ;) Ben is incredibly talented and fun to work with. He was so accessible leading up to the wedding, taking calls with me to discuss all the little details and making the whole process so easy. Day of, he was just a pleasure. First of all, he's very discreet, so I hardly noticed he was there, which led to many lovely candid moments captured between not only my husband and me, but my family, friends and the bridal party, too. Our highlight reel perfectly captures the joy and sparkle of the big day (and night), and I've been watching our ceremony and reception videos on repeat. Ben is an absolute pro. He didn't just capture the magic of our wedding, but added to it. He even offered the groom his jacket when we started getting cold taking pictures outside -- in Chicago in December, no less. THANK YOU, Ben for bringing your whole heart and amazing talent to our special day.

l-oriented in the process leading up to the wedding, making sure that he captured everything my husband and I wanted to remember our wedding day by. He was communicative and responded in a timely manner, and extremely reasonable in terms of pricing. We received our highlight reel today, and let me tell you, our expectations were exceeded! The video captured everything we wanted and then some. It was sweet, heartfelt, and full of the joy we felt throughout the day. Thank you, Ben, for the perfect memento to help us remember the best day of our lives.

of Chicago videographers and was looking for a full video of the ceremony, in addition to a shorter highlights cut. As someone who works with corporate videographers quite often, I was so impressed with the quality of Ben's work and how well he captured our day, including intimate moments of genuine laughter, emotion and happy tears. Our wedding video is something I will cherish forever and I am so so so thankful we chose Ben. He really is worth every penny and my husband and I could not be more thrilled!!

heck, entrusting a stranger and hoping that everything would turn out perfectly. From first contact with Ben, I knew we were making the right decision. He was prompt, friendly, knowledgeable, and honest. He was so easy to work with the year of planning. We were surprised with an unwelcomed snow storm two days before our wedding that covered the beautiful autumn-colored golf course in snow--Not exactly what we had imagined. But Ben refused to let us be disappointed. He braved the cold, ran all over to capture every moment, and found a way to bring so much beauty out of a blistery cold day. I had several people ask how I knew him, since he blended in like he was one of our close friends. He didn't miss a moment, but never felt invasive, and kept us laughing so nothing felt awkward. The finished product was everything we hoped for and more. I would recommend Ben and Whole Heart Video a thousand times over for anyone looking for a videographer that will go the extra mile to deliver the perfect tribute to your wedding day.

who had worked with him, as well as a family member that had hired him for her wedding. We absolutely loved working with Ben. He traveled to St. Joseph, MI for our wedding and was still one of the most affordable options. He has the best energy, is funny and never in your or your guests face. And the quality of his video is amazing, especially for doing wedding videography solo! Thank you so much, Ben, for capturing our day!

eally captures your day. One of our favorite parts about Ben's work was that he really involved a lot of guests and bridal party members into his videos while keeping the focus on the couple. His work did not disappoint. Right after the wedding he sent us some great stills that he captured and a few weeks later, we had our 4 minute edited video ready to go. He is affordable but worth every penny. I would definitely recommend Ben to anyone, in fact he just did video for my cousin's wedding on our recommendation.

ng. What he created for us is priceless. Ben captured the most beautiful moments and words from our Wedding day. It is such a treasure to have and we are so thankful to Ben for it! You invest so much time, energy, and money into planning this day and Ben captures all of that hard work in motion for a lifetime. Not only does he create such beautiful work but he is so much fun to work with! He is flexible, kind, and so professional. We recommend Ben and Whole Heart Video to everyone!

almost a fly on the wall where you don't feel so bombarded to be on point all day. I felt like he was just capturing us being us which is all I could have ever asked for! He sent over some still shots from the wedding a few days after that are literally amazing. We can't wait to see the teaser and highlight video as I'm sure they are going to be spectacular!

for our wedding day. The teaser and highlight reel are amazing and capture our day perfectly. He is a true artist and expert in his craft. I would hire him again in a heartbeat and recommend to all my family and friends -- Stop here and hire Ben and Whole Heart Video!
