No, Vanilla Video is a video production company based in Chicago and strictly provides video services; e.g., videogaphy, video editing, or video marketing. While we technically do have photo cameras in our arsenal, and are technically capable of taking photos, we do not offer photography services to the public — especially weddings.

Our team has handled thousands of projects over 8+ years, and we have been to virtually every popular wedding venue in Chicago and the surrounding areas. Even if we have not been to a venue before, we typically do not need a tour prior to the wedding. We do make exceptions for production-level weddings at $5,000 and up.

Yes, each videographer is equipped with two wireless lavaliere microphones by default — plus a shotgun microphone mounted to our cameras, on-board camera audio, and a backup sound recording device should there be any wireless interference. Regardless of the scenario, our team has workarounds and training to figure it out.

Our unique documentary filming style ensures that nearly all of the raw footage is immediately enjoyable, without editing. We shy away from risky artistic shots that take many attempts to capture a perfect take. We focus on content, and try to get consistently "good" shots which mitigates post-production and editing. Our primary goal is to give you the best, most complete, and most accurate coverage or representation of the wedding day — as it truly happened.

Yes, we almost always let the photographer direct the wedding day without interruption. We prefer to capture the day candidly, and not intrude or direct. Occassionally, we step-up our directing game if an opportunity presents — e.g., you do not have a photographer, there is downtime, or we are asked for our opinion or preference.

Potentially. We do have a la carte pricing which builds our wedding packages — i.e., we are able to drop, swap or change components to customize a video package specific to your wedding. However, we do have order minimums. And, we do not discount our services.
