High quality content!
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!!!!

Our cinema is a keepsake we will cherish forever!
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.

Professional!
So i originally hired WCP as my wedding photography for my wedding next year. Put the deposit down and everything. After months of deliberating, My fiancé and I then decided that we were changing our whole wedding vision/theme and were wanting a more moody style of photography. I talked with Katie and let her know my situation and she was super understanding. She even offered to refund my deposit back even though in the contract it said that the deposit was non-refundable! Even though I ended up not going with Sam and Katie, Katie has been nothing short of professional and for all of the other brides looking at this right now, know that you’ll be in good hands with them! :)So i originally hired WCP as my wedding photography for my wedding next year.

A highlight of our day!!
Working with Katie at Windy City Production was a highlight of our wedding day. We booked the full photography package with Katie and an assistant.
Katie’s personality was perfect for our day. She was calm under pressure and both supportive and helpful when we ran into some complications throughout the day (rain, missing flowers, keeping us on the timeline, etc.). She had such a kind and friendly personality, which helps you feel comfortable in front of the camera and relaxed. Katie’s professionalism was exceptional. The way she was responsive to our needs and adaptable allowed us to put our full trust in her ability to produce great work for our wedding day. Long after the wedding, our guests kept telling us how impressed they were with the professionalism and kindness of the photography team!
Katie seemed to customize our wedding poses based on our ease in front of the camera and how we engaged as a couple throughout the day. It led to some beautifully posed shots where we both looked so happy and really captured our love for each other. Katie was also able to wonderfully capture the prep for both the bride and groom before the big reveal.
We were lucky enough to receive a lot of photos which will help us cherish and remember the day for decades to come. Katie did a great job making sure we captured all of the must-have shots and captured impromptu requests from guests with grace. After we received the photographs back it was incredibly easy to access/share them with all our family and friends through their online portal.
Overall we can’t recommend Katie and Windy City Production enough!Working with Katie at Windy City Production was a highlight of our wedding day. We booked the full photography package with Katie and an assistant.

Thanks for a Great Experience
We would like to thank Sam and Katie for being our videographer team for our wedding! Sam did a great job keeping the energy going and was communicative throughout the day. We liked the ideas that you brought for the video led portions of the shoot, and appreciate how you gave the tip for Venuti’s patio as a great shoot location. The poses and even the before day chats on the phone and in person meeting helped us receive a product we were happy with. WCP also helped us after the shoot get copies of the video in our requested format, which was an awesome bonus.We would like to thank Sam and Katie for being our videographer team for our wedding!

Great photographer!
Katie is an amazing person to work with. Not only was I completely sold on her photos (our venue had shown us some of her work) but she was also incredibly easy to work with. She is organized and has a great system for taking care of her customers. Unfortunately my wedding was canceled and Katie was gracious about refunding my deposit, which none of my other vendors did. Not only do I highly recommend Windy city production, but I hope one day I'll be able to use their services in the future!Katie is an amazing person to work with.

Wonderful Company
Katie and Windy City Production was a wonderful company to work with. Due to financial circumstances we had to cancel our wedding that was already postponed due to COVID. Instead of making us pay cancellation fees, she refunded our deposit which the did not happen with every other vendor that we worked with and amazed us. It is amazing to see vendors that still value people and are very understanding and graceful.Katie and Windy City Production was a wonderful company to work with.

Katie and Sam were the absolute best. We got married on NYE in 2021 and they helped to make the night extra special. We had so many guests come up to us saying how awesome they both were, and we even had a friend book them for their own wedding later this year because they were so impressed with Sam's video coverage. They are sweet, understanding, flexible, and SO. TALENTED. We got our photos and video back incredibly quick and loved everything. 10/10 would recommend using them for your special day.Katie and Sam were the absolute best.

Flexible and amazing to work with! Highly recommend!
Katie and her team at Windy City Production were amazing to work with. We had a difficult planning process, having had to reschedule multiple times and change venues due to new restrictions surrounding COVID-19. When my fiancé and I had to make the difficult decision to cancel our ceremony all together, and as such video services, Katie FULLY refunded our deposit and contract. It is a relief to work with such understanding and thoughtful vendors. A friend of mine recommended WCP to me, as their work is fantastic, and I hope we have the chance to work together in the future!Katie and her team at Windy City Production were amazing to work with.

Fantastic option for wedding photos and video
Great pictures, high level of professionalism and communication, and fun to work with! We hired Katie and her associate production crew for a photo & video combo. They did great work and we found the quality of the end product to be consistent with everything we saw online. If you are in the Chicagoland area, you should definitely consider working with this business.Great pictures, high level of professionalism and communication, and fun to work with!

Fully refunded deposit without hesitation - COVID BRIDE
Fully refunded deposit without hesitation! As a COVID bride, the restrictions in Illinois ultimately altered what we initially had planned for our special day. We ended up deciding to move our wedding out of Illinois to another less restrictive state in order to be able to celebrate with as many loved ones as possible. When notifying Katie at Windy City Production, she honored our full refund back to us without hesitation! Katie has been so easy to work with and it was such a relief that when we had to change plans, she was so understanding. I was initially referred to her from our friends wedding, and the video of their day was so perfect: had a special sparkle and emotion to it that really captured the essence of the day. Although I’m sad we won’t ultimately be able to have a video of our day, I will absolutely use them for something in the future and would recommend them to any bride especially under covid concerns.Fully refunded deposit without hesitation!

Absolutely incredible does not even begin to describe Katie and Sam. My wife and I had the honor of working with Katie for our engagement shoot, and both Katie and Sam for our wedding. They made our day so stress free and fun and everyone who met them raved on how beautiful of people they were. Their work speakers for itself so there’s no need to brag there. We could not be happier with having them play a huge role in our day. Katie and Sam, Bri and I love you!Absolutely incredible does not even begin to describe Katie and Sam.

Best wedding investment!!
This is going to be a long BUT WORTHY review because my husband and I couldn’t leave any detail about Windy City left out! We booked Windy City Productions to use as our wedding videographers after seeing their fabulous work at my cousins wedding. After having our first phone call about wedding details, timeline, ideas and much more, I knew we were in great hands because Sam was so helpful and took a lot of stress off of our shoulders. Fast forward to our wedding day.... we could not have been more blown away by Sam and Windy City Productions. From the beginning of the day to the very end they were a blast to work with. They made everything easy and fun and were able to handle our very big and obnoxious bridal party. Our absolute favorite thing about the day was the little video (I call it a sneak peek) they put together for us during our wedding reception. We could not believe the talent behind this video!! It had clips from the whole day in it and they were able to put this together before the night even ended! The video had all of our guests in happy tears. And now, after receiving our final wedding video, we haven’t been able to turn it off! We’ve watched it 20 times and each time we love it more and more! We’ve had many, many people asking about Windy City Productions after seeing them at our wedding and so many compliments on them and their work. We will be recommending them to everyone and anyone!This is going to be a long BUT WORTHY review because my husband and I couldn’t leave any detail about Windy City left out!

Speechless!
I truly can't say enough great things about WCP! After doing a TON of research, reaching out to a bunch of places, and reviewing endless galleries, we hired Katie and Sam to shoot at our wedding. We could not be happier with not only the results, but the care, service, and kindness that came along as well!
Katie was fantastic through the entire process. Always kept me updated, and was more than patient with all my questions - even setting up time for us to meet in person (pre COVID) and over the phone when needed to make sure I felt at ease. From the day I met her, I already knew that we were going to choose them.
Katie and Sam literally felt like family by the end of this process. Not only are they just genuine people, they are CHAMPS at what they do - I would put them against any other company and bet you they're would be absolutely no comparison. They are passionate about what they do, and who would have thought smiling for so many pictures could be SO FUN!
They knew exactly what to say to get perfect pictures - no fake laughing here, it was all genuine and they could not have captured our day any more perfectly. I'm getting emotional writing this, reflecting back a few weeks to our big day and how incredible Katie and Sam were. My family loved them, and they completely shocked us with a video teaser toward the end of the night - WHO DOES THAT?! Same day?!? Absolutely incredible - we are still getting compliments about that!!
The finished product was ready in 2 weeks.. Yes, 14 days!!! All of our fully edited pictures, and am almost 10 minute video, along with all our raw footage. Everything was way above our expectations, and it's impossible to pick favorite pictures!
If you're on the fence, do it. Spend the money, make the investment. You wont regret it! There is only one shot at getting the pictures that capture your special day, and if you want it done right you HAVE to go with Katie and Sam at WCP!I truly can't say enough great things about WCP!

Katie and Sam were absolutely wonderful to work with and so kind! They shot our wedding video in Puerto Rico and were such a blast. Their approach is very fun and energetic. As two people who don’t typically like to be in front of the camera, Sam made us feel incredibly comfortable and at ease. They have a great eye and were able to capture many special moments. We were so impressed with how fast the turnaround time was for our sneak-peak video. The pair had it back to us within just a couple days! We can’t recommend Windy City Productions enough.

Best of the best!
Katie and Sam were so kind and made the experience so effortless before and during our wedding day in Costa Rica. We had a small wedding and they were great at making everyone feel comfortable and act natural throughout the day. I'm so grateful and it was so special to have our wedding day recorded in such a beautiful and meaningful way.

Windy City Production is amazing !
Sam and Katie are so kind, caring and patient. First of all Katie and Sam are genuinely good people who truly care about their clients, we instantly gained a friendship across the country just through talking to Katie and Sam throughout our day during and between all the amazing shots they captured. Both Sam and Katie display such a calming presence that made my husband and I so relaxed and comfortable during hours of photos and video footage being captured. Katie told me something very important on my wedding day that I will never forget for the rest of my life. She said “don’t be sorry, this is your day! ”--- after I apologized for the hundredth time that day for something silly, like needing another minute to collect myself before leaving the hotel room for my soon-to- be husband to see me for the very first time as his soon-to-be wife. We stumbled upon Sam and Katie by chance and like Katie said in our original email “ I’m so happy the stars aligned and we will be able to film your big day in the beautiful country of Costa Rica”. Meeting Sam and Katie truly reminded me of the saying my husband and I live by- “Everything happens for a reason”. Just a few short hours before hearing from Katie, I was devastated that we would not be able to have a film, as prior plans fell through and suddenly I was introduced to Katie through email just 3 short weeks before our wedding and was reminded that in fact everything does happen for a reason and that after all the worry, stress and months of back and forth decision making, a video of our big day was in fact in our future. Katie reassured me that they would be able to capture our big day and meet us in the beautiful country of Costa Rica in just a few short weeks. I knew just from her emails I couldn’t wait to work with her and Sam. Fast forward to our days as Mr. & Mrs. The minute we landed in Philadelphia from our amazing wedding in Costa Rica my phone dinged I had a new email, it was from Katie, our video was edited and published on YouTube. As I stumbled off the plane carrying way too much luggage strapped to every part of my body, I soon too had tears running down my cheeks as I watched our wedding video so creatively captured and pieced together by Sam and Katie! Their work is truly so unique and beautiful! The video is nothing short of amazing and has allowed us to reflect back on the best day of our lives. Katie and Sam made all the shots they took so easy to capture by allowing the shots to be captured naturally with simple suggestions. Save yourself the worry of deciding what videographer or photography company to go with and email Katie NOW to book! I promise you will not regret it ! Sam and Katie rock and made our big day even more memorable, special and magical than it already was! We could never thank you enough Sam & Katie, the moments you have captured will live on with us forever. Your both so inspiring, never change and keep up the beautiful work !

Relive every moment of the big day
Katie and her team at Windy City Production did our photography and videography for our 200 person wedding. I cannot recommend them enough- every detail was captured beautifully. Katie is so friendly and personable, she makes you feel like a close friend. She met with us to find out our wedding vision, was able to help us out with a schedule and plan of action for the day of (I'm not someone who knows a lot about weddings or how things should go) and she and her team executed that plan totally. The team was everywhere to capture every detail, but also not obtrusive. Looking at all of our photos, there is not one detail that was missed. Every guest raved about how excellent our photographers were. AND THE VIDEO. The most perfect thing. We have access to all the raw video from our wedding but they also edited a cinematic version complete with my mother-in-law's reading during our ceremony as part of the audio. Amazing, amazing, amazing. So happy!!!Katie and her team at Windy City Production did our photography and videography for our 200 person wedding.

Makes moments
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.

Covid cancelled wedding, fully refunded !
tie has been so amazing to work with. We were a unique situation from the very start and Katie ALWAYS worked with us, was flexible, and made us feel so at ease with the entire process. We were planning a wedding from out of state and that alone was hard. Katie walked us through everything we needed. During our wedding planning I got pregnant and because of a high risk pregnancy we had to push our wedding date. Katie was so wonderful and agreed to hold our deposit and move the services to a future date. A few months after my babies were born, COVID bit and our wedding planning came to a complete halt. It is now Oct. 2021 and after reaching back out to Katie, she has offered to return our deposit in full !!! This is unheard of and we are so incredibly grateful to have had someone so understanding and kind to work with. I would recommend Katie and her team 100% and hope we get to work with her again.tie has been so amazing to work with.

Truly amazing work!
Sam and Katie are amazing! We had Sam as our videographer for our wedding back in July at The Brix on the Fox and his wife Katie did all of the editing for the video and we could not be more happy with how it turned out! Throughout the entire process, they made sure they knew exactly what type of video we were going for and they were affordable compared to many other videographers that I priced out, so ultimately it was a win-win! The day of our wedding, Sam was punctual, easy to talk to and pretty much ran the whole show! Our video would not have turned out nearly as good if it wasn't for his creative ideas and ways of getting us to come out of our shells! He even surprised us before our first dance with a same day teaser and shocked everybody there! We received so many compliments from our family and friends about how amazing it turned out and how they couldn't believe how fast he put it all together ! They also have a 2 week turnaround time and emailed us 13 days after our wedding saying it was ready for pickup. Another great thing is that they only require a deposit when you book and the remaining balance isn't due until 2 weeks after your event when you go to pick it up from them! I can't say enough great things about this couple and their company -- they're worth every penny!Sam and Katie are amazing!
