    Highly recommend!

    Ben was fantastic and easy to work with through planning, and the videographer we were paired with, Niko, was amazing and so professional and kind. He made us feel comfortable, captured 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.

    A Fun and Worry-free Experience

    Working with the Whole Heart Video team was so fun and easy. Ben made our planning process so simple. He made our big day worry-free and joyful. The wedding highlight video was such a treat. We also loved the full-length ceremony and reception videos. They captured all the most important details!

    Choose Whole Heart Video

    Ben at Whole Heart Video was amazing from start to finish. He made the wedding planning process easy, and he made the actual filming of the day lighthearted and fun. We never felt 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!

    Very pleased!

    I had the pleasure of working with Whole Heart Video for my wedding, and I cannot recommend them enough. From the beginning, Ben was incredibly professional, organized, and we felt 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!

    Excellent!

    From start to finish, Whole Heart Video was easy and a pleasure to work with. We had 2 videographers on our wedding day who caught all of the big and little things. They never "got 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.

    Highly Recommend Whole Heart Video!

    I can’t begin to express how impressed and highly satisfied I was using Whole Heart Video as my wedding videographer! It was such a smooth process from beginning to end. Ben’s team 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!

    Ben brought an amazing energy and levity as the videographer on our wedding day. He made us feel very comfortable and at ease and did a great job capturing the spirit of us as a couple, and the energy of our wedding day in a packaged video - no small feat! Absolutely hire him!

    I would 100% recommend them!!!

    Whole Heart was amazing right from the start! He emailed me back right away and helped me choose the videography package that best suited our needs for our wedding day. On our wedding day, they came well prepared with a good understanding of the schedule. They were very professional and also a fun personality to have as part of our day! Whole heart did another wedding for a family member a month later and was fantastic for them.

    Videos that will last a lifetime

    Ben from Whole Heart Video captured the most perfect and important moments of our wedding day. Ben had such a carefree and positive personality that made us feel really comfortable, 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.

    Search no further - Ben is YOUR videographer!

    Ben did a phenomenal job of capturing video footage of our ceremony, reception, and special moments in between. He blended right in with the party, and I never felt as though he was up in my face in an attempt to get footage. He was goofy, friendly, and fun throughout the entire day, and he also was extremely flexible with our ever-changing COVID wedding plans. We just received our videos this week and were moved to tears at how phenomenal they are. We will cherish Ben's work for the rest of our lives. Thanks, Ben! If you're looking for a naturally talented, creative videographer, look no further - Ben is your guy!

    Amazing wedding videographer!

    Ben was fantastic to work with from start to finish. We were on the fence about having a videographer for our wedding, but Ben answered all of our questions/concerns and made us feel 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!

    Must hire videographer!

    There's a lot that goes into wedding planning, that's no secret. One of the most difficult junctions of the planning process is deciding your budget and figuring out which vendors 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

    Amazing experience!!

    Ben was amazing to work with!! He shot our wedding and really listened to what we wanted. Not only was he very professional, but he is also down to earth, which made it really enjoyable 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!

    Ben was amazing from start to finish! He was very communicative and easy to work with. He had the entire day light and fun and captured great moments and got along well with our photographer. Loved our highlight reel and raw footage. Highly recommended!

    Thank you Ben!!

    Ben did an incredible job capturing our wedding day. He came highly recommended to us from a family member, and upon seeing his work we knew we would be in good hands. He was detail-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.

    An absolute pro

    I cannot recommend Ben highlight ENOUGH. Any bride I've spoken to that did NOT have a videographer at their wedding always lists that as her number one regret. And if you saw the video 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.

    Book whole heart video now!

    We were very set on having videography for our 11/2/19 wedding--We knew that once the day was over, we would want a way to relive it over and over. We were also nervous writing a check, 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. (Karyn D., Wedding Date: November 2, 2019)

    Best Decision We Made

    A wedding videographer was the #1 thing on my list. I knew I wanted to have the memories from that day last forever. We hired Ben on the recommendation of a wedding planner friend 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!

    April Wedding - Amazing Videographer

    I always wanted a wedding video, but my now husband was hard pressed to invest in one. That was until he saw Ben's work. Ben is so fun and talented, has a great creative eye, and really 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.

    We had decided that we didn't need a videographer for our wedding (rookie mistake...) and then decided that we did with about three weeks to spare. We loved Ben's work and upon contacting him, it just so happened that he had a cancellation and was available for our big day. Needless to say, we could not have been more pleased. Ben was very responsive, open to all our ideas, and genuinely cared about what we wanted out of our videographer. On the day of, he was extremely flexible and made everyone involved feel at ease throughout the process, as having cameras all over the place can be kind of overwhelming. The final product was just what we wanted and I'm sure that we will watch the footage for anniversaries to come. Overall, a great experience. Thanks, Ben!

    My husband and I were thrilled with Ben! We were so happy to find someone so talented and professional that fit within our budget. He made sure to catch all of our important moments and turned around beautiful video in such a short time frame. He's got a great style- modern yet timeless. You've gotta view some of his incredible work! We are so excited to share with all of our friends and family. Highly recommend using him for your big day!

    Everything about Ben is amazing, he is not only a wonderful guy, but a professional and truly wants your day to go perfect. He is so easy to work with, get in contact with, listens to everything you want, is a blast to play around with ideas, great prices and goes above and beyond in all aspects before and after the wedding. He knows his stuff and makes a piece of art yet still capturing alllll the moments. The transitions were smooth and we were in love with the teaser, highlight and feature. So glad we even got the raw footage. The day of Ben was so much fun, got along with everyone, enjoyed the party and everyone at the wedding said he was so involved and that they thought he was just another guest enjoying themselves (just with a camera in hand at all times lol) From the first contact I knew Ben was just a great guy, and I know know why he chose the name Whole Heart... he puts his entire heart into his work while I got to put my entire heart into the rest of my life with my husband. And I could not be more grateful.

    It was a pleasure working with Ben. We loved our videos and cannot stop sharing them with family and friends. Ben was always easy to reach and super helpful with answering our questions. I highly recommend him.
