Orange Wedding Films

My husband and I were very happy with our Orange Films wedding trailer, feature film and docu-​edit of the ceremony and reception. JJ and his team were organized, fun to work with and created an unbelievable finished product. I would recommend them to anyone!

JJ and his wife were fantastic! They were very easy to work with, and they captured so much details of our wedding I didnt even think of! They took 6 months for complete production, but it was worth the wait!
When my husband and I got our video (actual time was little less than 6 months), we were soooo glad we had use JJ/​Orange. We LOVE our video — everything was perfect. Would recommend them in a heartbeat for anyone looking for videographer in Chicago!

We are writing this review not from customer perspective but rather a business that has worked with Orange VP. As Chicago Wedding Photographers we love working Mr & Ms Orange. They creative and top professionals so we are sure every couple is thrilled with the cinema work they receive from Orange VP. Not always, videographers and photographers get along so well. Thanks to Orange VP it became a norm.

The Orange team has worked with my company on several corporate videos and done an unbelievable job each time. We came to them in a pinch and they were able to accommodate a challenging schedule and numerous event locations with ease to create an incredible finished product. They’re easy to work with and fun, to boot!

Where do i start…
I was referred from a good friend of mine to Orange Video Production and i was referred to another videographer from another good friend of mine. I sent email within minutes i received an email back from Orange Video Production and nothing from the other one ever. Right there i knew i was going to work with them because they have amazing customer service and communication skills which is KEY!
We went to meet them and i knew this was the perfect fit to tell our LOVE STORY! We just did the love story video because we our having a destination wedding. So we spent a couple days together shooting and not only were they our videographer for our love story, they are now friends! We laughed together, cried, and made a helk of a video!
I highly recommend them to anyone. They are professional yet down to earth. The love story is so different from what the usual wedding video is and i highly recommend it to anyone. :)

I have worked along side with Orange wedding films when photographing wedding. So my position is the I see how they run their company on levels many brides will never notice. I must say they are as professional as professional can get. Very easy going and truly makes the bride and groom’s look their best. Their artistry can be noticed when you meet and talk with them and if you have seen their videos well. I don’t know why you would need me to tell you anything else.
When I hear a client has booked them as their videographer I know they will be getting the best treatment in Chicago. I am also excited because I know we will work together. This leads to the best in both wedding photography and videography. Its always overlooked but have a videographer that works with your photographers makes the day truly amazing.

Plain and simple: Orange is golden! Honest to goodness, if I could put another star on this rating I would.
My story with OVP begins with my wife and I coming across the link to their website on The Knot a little over 13 months before our wedding date. We thought we were so far ahead of the «wedding planning» game that we didn’t think we risked much by watching every single one of their trailers over and over and over again, instead of inquiring about their availability. We just couldn’t help ourselves. As you can see for yourself if you go to their website and do the same, the videos really are that spectacular. Crisp and clean quality with an aura of something magical. Unique shots and superb editing.
Good thing we did finally reach out to JJ because when we did we learned that he was already booked for just about every weekend the following summer (and that another couple had approached him for the same weekend as us). After meeting with him in person, and soon coming to realize that he is just as awesome as his videos, we quickly pulled the trigger. JJ is great to work with because he is fast to respond and actually allows the brides and grooms some creative control by letting them submit songs from which he can choose.
Although JJ unfortunately could not personally film our big day, his colleagues were every bit as professional as he is. Charlie, for example, kept my wife calm during certain parts of the day. Nicole was super sweet and held her own when she met my 7 groomsmen and I at my hotel suite. By herself. Carl, on the other hand, was an absolute beast. Shortly after the event, OVP put our trailer up online and… wow. No words. People still tell us how great it is.
We picked up our full DVD’s this past Saturday from their new downtown location (which looks very hip but still welcoming by the way). First of all, we were blown away that Mrs. Orange put so much thought and love into the packaging. Secondly, and most importantly, the video itself was AWESOME. Just like the trailer, I could try to describe it but the description would do it no justice. You just have to see it to believe it.
We laughed, we cried and, because of JJ and his team, we relived the happiest day of our lives. And because the video captures our love story like few Hollywood movie makers would be able to, we will continue to do so over, and over and over again.

When I began the wedding planning process, I was pretty adamant that I did not want a videographer. I thought, «We’ll never watch a wedding video.» So, we decided to invest in an amazing photographer (and we did – see my Redwall Photography review) and call it a day.
And then, I visited The Knot message boards, which have a way of making me look at other brides’ amazing wedding details and think, I NEED that (late night snack, photobooth, etc.). One bride posted a link to her highlight video that JJ created for her wedding. And I watched it. Over and over and over again. To the point that when my fiancé came home and saw me ugly crying, he asked me what had happened. When I tried to explain that I was crying at a stranger’s wedding footage, he looked at me like I had totally lost it. But when I showed him JJ’s work, he laughed and said, «I guess we’re getting a videographer, huh?»
JJ’s work is simply breathtaking – like nothing I’ve ever seen. He is professional, funny, and very quick to respond to emails. He’s the best there is, in my opinion.
FYI, the address listed is wrong – it’s 1098 Milwaukee Ave., not 1908

The moment we met JJ, we knew we were going to book him. I loved the work he had on his website, and after meeting with him, we knew he was a great fit for us! He responds to questions quickly — brides always love fast communication — and is so friendly and personable. We saw our trailer on our honeymoon and we couldn’t stop playing it! It was awesome! We got our video a few weeks ago, and we could not be happier! He was able to capture our day so beautifully. The day truly goes by so fast, and it was so great to see all the moments we missed. Our friends and family thought it was amazing and had tears in their eyes as well. We highly recommend Orange Video Productions!

The moment I saw JJ’s trailers on
, I knew I found our videographer. JJ was quick to respond to my email and he was also within our budget. For his quality of work, I expected him to be a lot more expensive! JJ is so very profressional, always quick to respond to emails/​calls, and very personable! He came to our home to do a «thank you» video for our parents. Let me tell you we did not give him much material to work with, but he made us a video that left many crying. It was so heartfelt. I cry everytime I see it! He has a way of putting things together with so much creativity! Very talented. The day of the wedding JJ and his associate were at the house on-​time and started filming right away. I barely noticed they were there. He was also very helpful in looking into other places to take pictures as a couple of locations we had in mind didn’t work out due to another wedding and the Bears game. I can’t wait to see our trailer. I am sure it will be amazing! Highly recommend Orange! He books up fast so make sure you contact him sooner rather than later! You won’t regret it.

JJ was helpful and amazing! We just finished watching our wedding video for the 5^th full time with some family and everyone LOVES it. We weren’t even sure we wanted to get a videographer for our wedding and I’m SOOO glad we did and SOOO glad it was Orange!

Videographers don’t seem to have a category but anyway I used Orange for my wedding video/​reception, I have yet to get the video, I actually have to give him the songs I want on my video, so its actually my fault!
The trialer for the wedding turned out great, he did that on his own and picked the song!
