We went with WCP for our wedding video bc my brother used them and his product turned out great. I noticed that their communication was sub-par from the start but I went with it bc of the referral. You can't get a hold of them unless you schedule a call, they don't answer calls, emails, or texts. We booked the assoc package, where one of their assoc shoots your day, but owners edit the product. Their contract said an assoc is assigned 6 wks prior to the wedding. I never heard anything and it was 4 wks out so I set an appt for a call. Sam called and said “we were lucky enough to actually have him shoot our day because they didn’t have any weddings booked for him and Katie”. I actually wanted the assoc and not him, but he made it seem like it was an upgrade so I went with it. I also thought it was kind of strange that the owners would take away service from their assoc just because they didn’t have business themselves. Day of, Sam showed up on time, offered to help with any set up needed, etc which was nice. He even did a “day of edit” where he edited footage he filmed that day and showed it on a big screen to get our guests to the dance floor. However, the + really end there. When we did our 1st look, we read cards to e/o that we wrote. While we were reading, a truck was backing up & loudly beeping. Instead of stopping us and either asking the truck to stop or having us move to a more quiet place, he told us he’d do a voiceover of that portion if we wanted to record ourselves at home reading the letters. In the moment I thought nothing of it, but once we did it and received our video back, it sounded so scripted and none of the raw emotion was there. This was a really special moment that had the pure emotion taken away in our film that we paid a ton of money for. Next, they send you all your footage in a Google drive, and when I received some of it, I noticed a file that said “ceremony and speeches color graded”. This file had the ceremony but the camera was set up in a spot where all you could see was the tops of peoples heads and not any of the wedding party or myself walking down the aisle. Another thing I was unhappy with was that our film was sent in 2 ways, one was strictly a voiceover of the re-recorded letters to each other that sounded scripted and thrown in the middle was audio of our officiant speaking. The second version was put to 2 songs. We were disappointed in this because we were expecting more similar to my brothers, which was a perfect blend of music, speeches, and vows. After this, I reached out and was polite, but brought up these two concerns. Apparently when you criticize their work, even politely, is when you’ll finally get a response from them. Katie replied within minutes and sent me a condescending response about how they went above and beyond for me, went over their editing time, upgraded our package, and that the ceremony file wasn’t the only view. I’m not sure why they’d color grade that file if it wasn’t even good or visible instead of the other one that was better. I responded to her that I was taken aback by her response bc I would think they’d want to make sure clients were happy with their footage after spending so much money, instead of making them feel bad by touting their “top 10 ranking” and all that they “went above and beyond for”, even if it was not what we were hoping for. The emails went on, with them offering to change it but for more money, which I declined because we had already paid a lot.

We had the pleasure of having Sam as our wedding videographer, and we are thrilled with the results. The video captured the magic of our day beautifully, and Sam's skill is evident in every frame. He was not only talented but also easy to work with, making the entire process seamless. We appreciate his professionalism and ability to translate our vision into a stunning video. If you're looking for a videographer who is both skilled and easygoing, we highly recommend Sam from Windy City Production.

He delivered an absolutely amazing video which we will cherish forever. Sam thank you helping to create such an unforgettable experience for us and for truly caring about what was important for us. We highly recommend booking with Sam and will continue to recommend his amazing services in the future.

Sam from WCP was the videographer for our wedding and he did not disappoint! Sam was fun and easy to work with, and helped to keep our bridal party hype and excited for the big day. He captured all the shots we requested, and a plethora of others. He provided more than we expected as far as edited content (2 teasers, a full film, and 4 extra snippets)!!! We were highly impressed with the edited content...it felt like we were reliving our wedding day all over again. Not to mention, he edited content during the wedding and played it on the wall during the reception, projector style! All our guests were SO impressed (and so were we!) Video is certainly something we did not want to compromise on, and we can certainly say we made the right choice going with WCP!
Thank you Sam!!!!

The WORST customer service I have ever experienced. They really don't care about you or your wedding. I initially spoke with Katie to learn more about their videography services on March 22. Sam was the one who ended up calling me and answering my questions. A couple days later, I contacted Sam saying I would love to book with them. No response. I tried contacting Katie, no response. I understand things are busy, so I always give vendors a week before I follow up.
I called Sam the following week and it went to voicemail. I left a message for him and waited another week. Still nothing. I ended up scheduling an phone call with Katie through their website (I realized this is the ONLY way you can get their attention). When she called me I explained that I already talked to Sam and I wanted to book with them. She said she would send an email right away with a few questions about the wedding. In the email, it stated they would send a contract within 24 hours after filling out the questions. I answered the questions that day, but no contract was sent afterwards. I waited a few days before emailing again. Still no response.
I scheduled another phone consultation and the day of Katie texted me saying she was sorry and that my email must've gotten lost (both emails, though?!). She said she would put together a contract that day and send it to me. She didn't.
I waited again and scheduled another phone consultation. At this point it's already the second week of May. I was so fed up but I really wanted to book with them because I love their portfolio. Sam ended up calling me and said the reason they haven't sent the contract is because they haven't secured a backup for my wedding day in case something happens (why didn't Katie follow up with this information instead of leaving me hanging?!) He said he hasn't heard from the backups he had in mind for our wedding despite him reaching out to them and that he was going to give them until noon to answer him. I told him to please let me know if they are able to shoot my wedding, and he said he would call me that day at noon. HE NEVER DID.
This was my last straw. The complete lack of communication was honestly mind blowing. How can you be unable to reach your team?! What kind of company is this?! This experience has been extremely stressful for me, and this whole time I could've been looking for videographers that actually cared and didn't blatantly ignore me. Bottom line is they are extremely unreliable and and unprofessional, which is not something you want to deal with when wedding planning. I'm actually so glad I'm not working with them now because I wouldn't have been able to handle their constant unresponsiveness. Please just find a team that won't discard you like a piece of trash.

Getting in touch with this company is impossible.. the one and only time they actually got back to me is when I originally reached out to book my wedding. The follow up was stressful and horrible.
The quality of the YouTube mini clip they made was great, but the rest of the footage is awful. It is very blurry. I reached out regarding this and never received a response.
When we booked, we were promised certain things like a tablet with all the footage uploaded to it (this was some type of promo for booking a Covid wedding) but that was all a lie. Couldn’t be more upset that we went with Windy City Productions. At least we can watch the videos back just to hear audio. Just wish we could actually see faces and details. 😢 Spare yourself and do not use them because you are spending good money on quality products, but that is not what you will get.

WCP is by far the most amazing team you will find in the Chicago land area!
We were lucky to work with Katie (Photos) and Natalie (Video). They are so friendly and so incredibly talented at what they do. They work and play into your personality and capture genuine moments. Nothing ever felt forced, just all natural. The quality is stunning and personally makes me tear up every time I see one of our photos. If you are even a sliver of sentimental, you need to book with this group ASAP. You become one of their “family” members and will help you beyond your special day. We love them so so much and cannot thank them enough for capturing the best day ever. Much love!

We could not have asked for a better team to capture our day! Sam set everyone at ease as soon as he arrived, and knew exactly how to direct us to get warm, genuine footage. Our photographer even commented that Sam is the best wedding videographer he has ever worked with.
Not only did he help keep us on schedule and ensure we got all of the shots that we wanted, everyone had so much fun working with him. The final product blew my husband and I away - we were so impressed with the full-length video as well as the two teasers. It captured the fun, excitement, and romanticism of the day better than we could have hoped for.
We are so happy we made the investment to work with Sam and Katie at Windy City Production, it was worth every penny!

We are so happy that we chose Windy City Productions! The communication with Katie was perfect. She answers all emails and questions immediately. Our videographer on our wedding day was her associate James, and he was amazing! We were smiling and laughing the whole time and he made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. He worked well with our photographer and coordinator as well! Highly recommend!

I can't say enough amazing things about Windy City Production. I am SO SO SO glad we found them to shoot our wedding. Sam and Katie were extremely attentive and responsive, they know the wedding industry so well and are willing to help out as much as they can. On top of amazing customer service, they are INCREDIBLE at what they do - I sobbed when we received our engagement pictures, our wedding pictures and video. I feel so lucky that I have these perfect pictures and video for the rest of our lives. We are so grateful to the entire Windy City Production team and you will NOT regret choosing them for your wedding!!

Our photographer Katie C. Was AMAZING! She was the first person at the venue to help ease my nerves/stress from our huge delay in our wedding timeline. She took amazing pictures and helped us all loosen up (my husband included) to get great shots!! We didn’t get to do as much throughout the downtown area because of being so delayed but Katie did great finding the perfect spots for our pictures! Thank you Katie!! I can’t express how much your calm demeanor helped calm me down from a very stressful morning! Yes

We were hesitant about adding videography to our wedding, but we can’t possibly be more happy we did! Sam did an amazing job keeping the energy up and keeping our entire bridal party smiling ALL day! Weddings can be long and stressful, but Sam always knew what to say to keep the day moving smoothly. Our video turned out BEAUTIFUL! We have watched it everyday since our wedding. The footage from the drones turned out so cool! What a beautiful way to capture such an amazing day! We are beyond happy with our decision to book with Windy City and can’t thank them enough for their work!

SNP took my engagement photos, which were so fun and perfect! We met Sam for our photos and he made it so smooth and anxiety free! We got the photos back so quickly and they were so beautiful! I just got married last weekend and Sam and Katie took photos and videos of our special day and it went PERFECT. I cannot wait to get our images back. We had so much fun and they know exactly how to break the ice and just have us all let loose and get those special moments. We will be using them for future family photos!

Where do I even start... Sam and Katie are two amazing humans. We met them roughly two years ago interviewing photographers and videographers for our wedding. Instantly we knew we had life long friends. We had our engagement photos done with Katie and they turned out AMAZING. Our wedding day was a Sunday 3 hours away from home. These two traveled all the way for our wedding day. They arrived on time which is very important to me! They did not rush us around and just stood in the background like you never knew they were there. They got every shot we asked for.. PLUS MORE. After dinner Sam snuck in a little surprise and had a mini video of the day so far made. It brought us to tears. We had no idea they were going to do that. It was such a beautiful moment to be standing there with all of your family and friends around you watching back just a couple of hours of the day. WE LOVE YOU SAM AND KATIE

Oh my goodness. There are not enough words for how awesome these two are! Because of the pandemic, we had to last-minute change the location of our wedding (as in, entire states!) with two months before our date. Katie was SO easy to work with. She eased all my worries about the quick turn around time of the planning process and helped me nail down timelines for videography for the day. She really listened to what my vision was for our video.
The day of, the bridal party got behind schedule right away and I was clearly freaking out a little bit about it. Sam was so good at easing my worries and helping me stay in the moment! He had such an amazing way of making everyone lose their nerves about pictures and video. He also created incredibly natural interactions with everyone to capture video so it didn't feel like it was simply staged. Some of those moments are ones that I will remember forever, like talking to my mom and my bridesmaids, and my first look with my husband. To cap off the night, Sam surprised us with a day-of edited video that he shared at the reception. It was perfect!
Our final video is everything I could have ever asked for! I couldn't recommend them enough. They were not just videographers, they were truly apart of our day. It wouldn't have been the same without them!

Windy City was so great to work worth throughout our planning process. Unfortunately, we were set to get married on May 9th, 2020 and had to postpone it. We were so sad that the team at Windy City was already booked for our new date in June. Although the deposit is nonrefundable, they were so great and gave us our deposit back due to the nature of the events. We really appreciate them working with us in these unexpected times.

Incredible! I'm so happy that we hired Windy City Productions for our wedding video! The whole process was unlike any other videographer we talked to when planning our wedding. They made sure our video would tell our wedding day love story. On the day of our wedding Katie and Jamie were great! They got so much special footage and I never felt like they were taking us away from our guests or the important moments. Our video was ready in less than 2 weeks and we love it! It truly tells a story! The pricing was very reasonable and it was a big help to be able to pay the balance when we picked up our video. I am so thankful to Windy City Productions for helping make our wedding day perfect and creating the video for us to remember it forever!

Sam and Katie are the best thing to happen to weddings since the invention of film. At least they were the best thing to happen to ours. Their passion for their craft was matched by their commitment to capturing the joy and essence of our Wedding Day. Everywhere and invisible at the same time, this husband and wife team created stunning portraits, candids and a video that is rightly called a Cinema. In addition to their talent, professionalism and their top notch equipment, the time and care they take in planning and consultation goes to the heart of what they do and sets them apart. They delivered on their promises for when the pictures and cinema would be ready; our photos are ours, free of watermarks and aftermarket gimmicks to generate revenue from guest orders. Quality and intergity from start to finish. We will be married a year next week and hardly a day goes by without looking at a photo or playing our movie.
Do yourself a favor and book them today.
Thank you Katie and Sam!

Sam completely blew us away! He just does his job so well. He MAKES moments happen by pulling you aside with not only your groom but also with all the other behind-the-scenes people like your mom, your sister, etc. He really gets you to come back to the moment and BE PRESENT with those around you amidst the chaos. Like everyone says, your wedding day is a blur and I cannot tell you how thankful I am for what he did. Those are the moments I remember. And, of course, his day-of edit was priceless. I felt like our entire reception was crying (even some of my husband’s ex-rugby teammates!!!). Our guests continued to talk about the video into the next day and a week later I am still getting texts asking when I will be able to share it. It was THAT good, I’m telling you...(and it was not because we do well in front of a camera - quite the opposite actually)! I would recommend Sam whole-heartedly and without reservation. Thank you so much, Sam!

Oh. My. Goodness, where do I begin? Katie and Sam made my wedding day everything I could have imagined it to be. From our very first meeting, I knew they would do a phenomenal job. Their style is like nothing I have seen in other photographs/videos.
Katie's personality is infectious and genuine and Sam made us feel at home. They were able to answer all of our questions and were obviously passionate about their work, we went with them.
Best. Decision. Hands Down.
Katie and Sam were able to capture every single special moment throughout the day. The views and shots they were able to capture- my mind is still blown. They are ninjas! I never saw them but somehow they were able to get incredible shots! Also, Katie was able to remember every single detail of what we were looking for and was totally open to our ideas. I am OBSESSED with my pictures and video. Trust me, the day is a whirlwind, and you wont be able to remember everything or be everywhere you want to be, but Katie and Sam will capture every moment and make them last forever. You will be doing yourself a disservice to not choose them!!!!!!!!!

If I could give more than five stars I would. A few years back I saw the video and pictures that Windy City Productions captured of a friends sisters wedding and fell in love with their work. When it came time to plan our own wedding I immediately wanted to sit down with them to see what more of their work looked like. As soon as we met with Katie I was so excited (and not just because she had her fur babies with her in the office that day, that was just a huge plus). Their work speaks for itself. We got married on May 3 of this year. Katie was our lead photographer and she had a second shooter with her as well as a videographer. The day was seamless. From the moment they arrived they were quick, professional, and so easy and fun to work with. I knew our pictures and video were going to be extradorinaiy just by the amount of work and heart they put into each shot that day. I'm pretty sure my husband wanted to kill me because I kept talking about how excited I was to see their work when we were on our honeymoon. True to their word, we received our wedding video yesterday, only 10 days after the wedding, it is beyond beautiful. My entire family and friends are in awe of their work. Our wedding pictures are just about completed and I cannot wait. Their work speaks for itself, but meeting them, talking to them, and working with them is the real treat. You will feel so at ease and have a lot of fun, as you should on your wedding day! HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend Windy City Productions, you will make one of the best decisions for your biggest day (besides the spouse you choose of course). Thank you so much Katie and Sam! You guys are truly the best!! I hope to use you guys to capture our family as it grows in the future too! Love you guys!!

I was so nervous the morning of my wedding. Katie and Sam arrived and held my hand through it all. LITERALLY! They knew just what to say and made everybody smile. They changed the energy of every room they walked into. These two people are the most talented individuals I have ever met. I am not exaggerating when I say that my day would have been lacking without these two! Everything was delivered as promised. Sneak peak video almost instantly. Photos, all edited, send within 14 days as was the video. I am left speechless. THEY ARE THE BEST!!!

Katie & Sam were amazing to work with! We are from Kansas City and got married in Chicago, so finding vendors was all done remotely. We found Katie & Sam online and set up a phone call with them. After confirming we would like to have them capture our wedding day, they offered to set up another phone call or Skype. They took the time to get to know us, asking about our story, how we envisioned our wedding day, anything special we were going to do, took down names of people who would be there etc. They were very thoughtful about how we wanted our day to go. The day of, they ensured that everything occurred in a timely manner and were so fun to work with! Our whole family enjoyed having them around AND they took the most amazing wedding photos and video. They made everything so effortless for us and we now have memories that will last forever. We would 10/10 recommend booking them!

Windy City Production has been a pleasure to work with for our wedding! When we first saw their photos/videos we fell in love with their style and their work. Katie was helpful from the very beginning. On our wedding day we worked with Sam and Kathy, they were both outstanding and so diligent. Sam captured many candid shots that were beautiful. Kathy not only got perfect video shots but also was there with tissues when I needed some. Everyone in my bridal party kept telling me that Sam and Kathy were so professional and knew exactly how to make the most of the time they had. When we got out photos/video back after our honeymoon we were blown away! The video was edited perfectly to show us and our family, and the photos were literally like something out of my childhood dream of my wedding. We would recommend them to any couple 100 times over. Windy City Production pours their heart into their work and it shows! We loved working with them!

Cannot say enough about how thrilled we were with the end result. They were wonderful to work with from beginning to end.

Kathy, Katie, and the Windy City Production Team created an incredible teaser and cinematic video for our wedding! We were able to meet with them in person during the planning process, and they were very personable. (Plus, they had three ADORABLE Boxer dogs at their office!!!) They also finished the videos fairly quickly, and sent us those and all of the raw footage on DVDs in keepsake boxes. Thank you, Windy City Production!

The guests at our wedding could not stop commenting on how much they enjoyed Sal and Sam as they were capturing our day. Sal made us feel very comfortable and we had so much fun working with him. The price of our photography package was a great value compared to other companies in the area. Contacting Katie and Sal was always easy, and they were both very receptive to our desires for the day and the kinds of photos we wanted. I would absolutely recommend using Windy City Productions. The fact that many of our guests asked for Sal’s contact information shows how wonderful this company and its photographers are.

I will say Sal/Sam are the best. First off I have to say the Owner Sam, showed up to my event on his day off, to capture photos. We didn't ask him to come but we excited to find out we had two photographers taking our pictures. We were told Sam wanted to capture some special moments for us. Sal made not only my bride, but me feel so much at ease. Windy City productions is like family. The best any bride or groom could ask for. Photos also came in early and in perfect condition. Will be using them again for all my photo needs.

Windy City was recommended to me by our wedding planner. I'll admit, I had some doubts at first due to some delayed responses from the owner, Katie. I realized though...they're busy and a thriving business, and that is a good thing! It all worked out, because our photographer and videographer were AMAZING. Jaime was our photographer, and we loved him so much. His personality lit up the room, and he was so easy to work with. He made the day (and even the time we spent with him over the phone before the big day) so seamless. He worked with our crazy schedule the day of, and the pictures turned out beautifully! We were so happy with him. Natalie was our videographer. First, never skimp on video. You'll be so glad you have that to look back on. Second, consider yourself lucky if Natalie is your videographer. She captured such perfect moments, and was so easy to work with as well. I still am getting compliments from our guests on both Jaime & Natalie. They all said how awesome they were. Overall, very happy with how it all turned out!

We used Windy City Production for our wedding video and could not be more thankful! The owners, Katie and Sam, are incredibly kind and easy to work with as well. They truly know how to go above and beyond for their clients. From the beginning, Katie was quick to respond to emails and answer any questions we had. Kathy worked with us on our wedding day. She made sure to capture all of our special moments and make us feel really comfortable. She even got shots of details that our photographer didn't get! We were so pleased with her work. We are so excited to continue watching our video in the years to come. Thank you WCP for making our day so amazing!

Choosing Windy City Productions for our wedding photos and videos was one of the best choices I made. Katie couldn't have been any nicer to work with throughout the process. Sal did our photos and Kathy did our video. Both of them blew me away. Not only did they go above my expectations with their delivery, but they are also genuinely fun and friendly people to work with.

Stop looking immediately and book now! You have found the most amazing videographers in the country. Katie and Sam are the real deal. Extremely professional, create beautiful work, and go above and beyond what is expected of them. My entire wedding party and family could not stop complimenting them and their work. I also received my wedding teaser in a week and it was breathtaking! I would recommend Windy City Productions to anyone looking for someone to shoot their wedding day! Thank you both so much.

Katie and Kathy were so amazing! It was a delight working with them on such an important date. My husband and I are so glad we chose Windy City Productions as our photographer and videographers in our wedding in Miami, Florida. Unfortunately, we had some hiccups with the location we originally chose to have our first look at since it was under remodel; however, Katie and Kathy were so nice to help me choose a location. While we were all getting ready the morning of my wedding, Katie and Kathy decided to drive around Miami and look for places to capture the moment. They sent me pictures of the different locations and their ideas. They were wonderful, they made a stressful process so easy. I loved the fact that they had a timeline ready for us; which included our first look, pictures with the bridesmaids and groomsmen, family pictures, etc. Thank you so much for being there for us. Our pictures and video came out amazing!

Katie and the team from Windy City Production were so amazing for our wedding day. She was great with helping to organize our very large wedding party and taking amazing pictures! Not to mention braving through the cold for a New Years wedding in -3 degree weather. Those were some of the best shots. We are going to run out of frames to put all of our favorite pictures in. I definitely plan on recommending them to my friends in the future.

Sam and Katie are simply amazing. There is no other. Stop searching and book them. They came to New Orleans to film my traditional New Orleans wedding with Second Line. They are incredibly professional - they knew just what shots they wanted, how to set them up, and how to stay out of the way. They had a drone to record the Second Line and Katie and Sam followed us the whole way. They came to the bride's suite while the girls were getting ready. I thought I would be uncomfortable but it instantly felt like they belonged. They guys said the same thing - they felt like old friends. Sam and Katie are professional, incredibly experienced, warm, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable. The cherry on top is that they truly love what they do and it shows. I wouldn't remember my wedding the way I do if it weren't for them. I'm incredibly grateful and would recommend them to anyone.

We are SO glad we went with Windy City Production for our videographer. Katie was so nice and pleasant to work with and is VERY accommodating. Natalie (the videographer) for our wedding was very friendly and easy to work with on the day of. If you are looking for a videographer, stop here and hire them! Thank you Windy City Production for your beautiful work!

I liked Katie the second I met with her about wedding photography and videography and I'm so glad I chose WCP to shoot my wedding. Not only were Katie and Jaime such awesome people to work with as a bride, I heard raving reviews from all of the bridal party, friends and family about how professional and fun they were to work with. Jaime would snap some photos, after which, he showed them to us to see if we liked it or if we had a different vision. They also went out of their way to go to the salon where I was getting my hair and makeup done and took a few shots and video there.
I am also beyond impressed that they made a wedding video teaser less than a week after the wedding! I am so looking forward to seeing the final video and photos! I would recommend Windy City Productions to anyone looking for someone to shoot their bid day!

My daughter didn't think we "needed" a wedding video. After watching a W.C.P. video from my friend's son's wedding, I was hooked! I knew I just had to have Windy City produce a video of my daughter's wedding. Katie was a delight to speak with over the phone. Very professional, personable, helpful with an entrepreneurial flair!! I was so impressed by Katie's business philosophy and excited to hire them for our video. Sam was our videographer and I was beyond impressed! We hardly knew he was there! He was everywhere and captured the entire wedding beautifully!! My father passed away recently and unfortunately was not able to witness this beautiful day. My mom watches this video every night before bed.... NOT KIDDING. She shows it to everyone who will watch it. This video is absolutely beautiful, professional quality (could be in a movie!!), and brings tears to my eyes every-time I watch it!! My 2nd daughter is getting married this time next year. Windy City Production, get ready for wedding #2!!!

I absolutely loved working with Windy City Production for our wedding. Katie was super helpful with any questions we had concerning our wedding and helping us plan our timeline out. We had Sal for our photographer for our engagement and wedding photos. He was amazing. Our pictures are perfect and he was such a great person to work with. He made us feel so comfortable and got the best shots! Sal made sure to capture truly every moment for us. We couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out! Also got our pictures back super fast too. I would recommend Windy City Production to anyone I know looking for a wedding photographer.

Our experience with Windy City Production was absolutely amazing! From the first correspondence, Katie was always on top of everything and very responsive and friendly. We planned our wedding from 1200 miles away, and I was never worried one bit about the videographer! They sent Cindy to capture our special day, and she was such a sweetheart! She was so warm and friendly - definitely made everyone feel comfortable, so much so that we didn’t even know she was filming half the time, all while capturing the most special moments. She has a creative eye without a doubt - our wedding cinema was breathtaking! On top of being a talented videographer, she was the absolute nicest person - even offered me a bobby pin from her own updo when I had a curl fall during photos! I highly recommend Cindy and Windy City Production! One of the best decisions we made for our wedding!

I was an extremely picky bride with our photographer, videographer, and DJ. We already had a photographer and I heard nothing but great things from a friend about Windy City Production. I was so happy I went with Windy City Production for our videographer and DJ. We had Kathy as our videographer and Sam as our DJ. Kathy was so great, extremely nice, and professional. She captured every part of our day (5-27-17) on video and we honestly did not even notice her (I think this is a testament of how good she is at her job)! We got our video back a few weeks after the wedding and we are absolutely OBSESSED. The video is hands down the best wedding video I have ever seen and she incorporated every important detail of the day in the video. We received so many compliments on our video and so many people wished that their video looked like ours. Kathy was THE BEST!
We were so happy to have Sam as our DJ! Our friends had him and the party never stopped. We needed to have music at 3 different locations on our venue and Sam made that happen flawlessly. Everyone was dancing all night long and he kept everything very entertaining without being over the top. We would HIGHLY recommend him!
You wont be disappointed with choosing Sam or Kathy!!! Thank you both so much for everything! Kris & Megan

We chose Windy City Productions and True Sounds Entertainment for our August 26, 2017, wedding and we could not have been happier with our decision. Both Katie and Sam were a delight to work with and were always available to answer our many questions as we navigated the wedding planning process.
DJ Sammy was emceed our wedding and people cannot stop raving about how wonderful the music was and what a delightful host Sammy was. The music was exactly what we asked for based off of the expert portal that Sammy has created. The night flowed seamlessly and everyone had a blast. There was music to suit every person’s taste, whether young or old.
We just received our pictures from the day and they are gorgeous! They perfectly capture the magic and love of the day. Our photographers, Katie and Juan, were consummate professionals throughout the day and made us feel very comfortable throughout the day. They helped walk us through our uncertainties and memorialized all of our special moments.
Both WCP and TSE exceeded all of our expectations and we would highly recommend them for anyone’s upcoming wedding!

After watching Windy City Photography do my cousin's wedding about 4 years ago, I knew that I had to book them also. And sure enough, when I got engaged this past January, they were one of the first I called up. Sure I shopped around just a bit.... but WCP had the best pricing and were the easiest to work with. Katie always returned my emails and made time for me....that personal experience is very important for a nervous bride. Anyway, Madelyn was my photographer on the day of our wedding and she was just cute as pie. Kathy was our videographer and she was very chipper and kept reminding me how excellent all the shots were looking. WCP delivered their product 100% on time. My cinematic video and all photography pics arrived exactly 2 weeks after the wedding. They made everything easy and all of my guests loved the finished products. THANKS WCP. I hope to have a chance to work with you guys again soon!!

Sam/Katie and crew are top notch in production and service. I have had them for two weddings. The first time they were relatively new to the game--they were terrific. Second time--still great with with almost four more years of experience. The ability to "fit" into your event without obstructing any of the flow and then telling the story beautifully in pictures and video. Big events in life come with great joy and anticipation. If you have planned...prepared...and participate...it is wonderful to be able to view the event through more than YOUR lens. WCP has captured 2 of our great life events and I recommend them often to others. We even had them photograph the rehearsal dinner for us this time--since we had so many from several continents at one place celebrating. Perhaps the next event I call them for will be a baptism!

Kat was a wonderful photographer to work with! She captured such great footage and I was in awe of the amount of raw footage we had that was wonderful that couldn't even fit into our final video. Their talent and vision are definitely there to make the day extra special.

Sal, Katie and Windy City Productions were amazing! Sal captured so many moments that I didn’t even realize were happening. I also got to see so many moments I missed out on. Sal was quick, clear and concise; something a bride very much appreciates on her wedding day! Our video is beautiful and I am SO SO glad we purchased this service. Worth every penny!

I used WCP for our wedding day Photographer and Videographer. Katie is so kind and answered my questions as needed. During peak wedding season it does become a little bit more challenging to get a more immediate response, but was understandable. The quality of our wedding photos were great and we had Katie shoot them. She was very friendly and easy to work with on the wedding day. Our Videographer, Sal was also very nice and easy going. The two worked well as a pair to ensure our day went smoothly. Both Katie and Sal made sure to ask me if there were any more pictures I needed at the reception and stayed as long as I needed them to. Only a few weeks later, I received a link to our cinematic film. I was blown away by the quality of our Cinematic film! It brought me to tears and was a true depiction of the day. We received many compliments from friends and family on how professional the film was. Overall, there were only a few things I have to say I am disappointed in. One was the quality of our photo album when it was received. It was very plain and seemed like the pictures were run off a printer. We did not get to choose the pictures that were put in. The cover was black with nothing on it and no special paper was used. I wish more time would have been put in with that. I was also disappointed to pop in our video and see that not only were the entrances of our wedding party not included in it, but no dancing was included either. So, I will need to create my own CD using the raw footage given. I did however, appreciate that there were 2 copies of the disk. Luckily, we were given every picture and the film taken from the day. All in all, I would say make sure to ask as many questions as you can to make sure you chose the right package for your needs!

W.C.P. is amazing! I met with Katie a year and a half before my wedding and didn't look at any other photographers because I loved her work and she made such a strong connection that I knew I wanted to work with her and her company to capture my big day! Katie was very helpful through the wedding process. Katie was knowledge of the venue we choose and knew where the best spots were to take pictures. All of the pictures came out beautifully! I also did the bundle package with True Sound Entertainment for our DJ, and I thought they were awesome as well! Katie and DJ Sal were awesome the night of our wedding! One of my bridesmaids is planning to use W.C.P. for her wedding in June :) I would highly recommend W.C.P and True Sound Entertainment! They helped make our day perfect! :)

Choosing Windy City Photography to do our wedding videographer was honestly the best decision we could have made! Not only are they affordable but their work is AMAZING and Katie and her team are BEYOND TALENTED. For real. Leading up to the wedding, it was so easy to work with them. Kathy was our videographer and she was so sweet and truly listened to my wedding vision and what I wanted out of our wedding video. On our wedding day, I didn't even notice that she was there filming and it felt more like a friend capturing all of the special moments - that's how comfortable she made me feel. Which I think most of us can agree that having someone in your face filming all day could feel a little awkward. It didn't.
Naturally, prior to choosing them (and until we got our cinema), I creeped on their Vimeo once a week =) If you've watched their videos, you know how great they are - and don't lie, you've shed a tear or ten. When I saw our wedding video posted, I was SO nervous. I can be pretty hard to please and a little bit of a perfectionist. As soon as I hit the play button, all of my worries and potential criticism were wiped away. The video was (and is) PERFECT! Literally, NO ONE could capture that day and every moment (and put it all with music) so perfectly. I am so happy that we have this video to cherish for the rest of our lives and that we can relive that day forever. Wedding videography is truly priceless and something I know I would regret if I had went without. Windy City Photography is truly the best choice and we are so thankful we chose them!

Sam and Katie are amazing. We did a lot of research before finally deciding to splurge on a videographer. They were very thorough planning the day with us and helping to make suggestions that could help. We went with the best package available and can't wait to see the results. We had a lot of fun with them the day of. They were courteous, respectful and always there to assist if we needed something.

Katie and Sam worked our wedding day and they were there for us from beginning to end-no details missed and you can tell they really care about what they do! Both were very friendly and calm, even when a couple moments were stressful, which we really appreciated. They went above and beyond-we found out our wedding was the first to have aerial footage and we were very impressed! We are so glad that we chose WCP!
