STRICTLY ASSOCIATE GALLERIES

 

 

Beata & Austin

From the beginning of the wedding day with Beata and the girls looking beautiful, and Austin and the men hanging out and relaxing, through the end of the celebration, there wasn’t a shortage of moments for us to capture. And can I just say that Beata could not possibly have picked a better dress?
Their ceremony was sweet, and I think captured the essence of their relationship together.

I hope this Associate Photographer + Katie or Sam Edit Wedding Gallery brings you all back to the roller-coaster of emotion that very day: applause, laughter, tears, and smiles throughout Beata & Austin’s Wedding Day! CLICK HERE TO VIEW GALLERY

Katie & Jesus

What an unforgettable day full of love & emotion. We started the day off with some photos of Katie and her lovely bridesmaids getting ready. Oh I still can’t get enough of Katie’s natural beauty!

The lovebirds, Katie & Jesus, had a cute, endearing first look. The ceremony was a roller-coaster of emotion, applause, laughter, tears, laughter, and yes an epic kiss.
The reception festivities were a ton of fun for us to capture as well, including some memorable toasts, and a packed dance floor. This Associate Photographer + Katie or Sam Edit is the kind of wedding we were made for and we enjoyed every moment, every tear, and every frame. CLICK HERE TO VIEW GALLERY

One of the biggest challenges couples face today is sorting through countless vendors to find “the best of the best.” While many photographers or videographers can capture a handful of great shots, only the truly exceptional can document your entire wedding day in a way that allows you to relive your love story for a lifetime.

That’s our ultimate goal: to capture and retell your wedding day with more detail, emotion, and artistry than any other photographer or videographer.

Who Edits and/or Oversees A Wedding Project?2024-10-25T02:31:59+00:00

Truth be told, Sam and I have personally edited EVERY wedding for the past five years—whether it was captured by us or one of our Associate team members. Every photo and cinema is carefully and meticulously edited to highlight the heart and soul of your wedding day, with a style that’s authentic, emotional, and timeless.

By handling the editing ourselves, we ensure that the quality and style of the final images and films match our personal artistic standards and align with the Windy City Production (WCP) brand we’ve developed over the past 12 years. When you choose us as your wedding photographer or videographer, you’re getting more than just photos or videos; you’re receiving our personal commitment to quality. We understand that your wedding day is one of the most important days of your life, and by personally editing your Wedding Day Love Story, we guarantee that the images and films you receive are just as special as the moments we captured.

Your wedding day memories deserve to be treated with the care, attention, and passion of an award-winning team. As long as we lead this company, Sam and I will ALWAYS oversee each and every Wedding Day Love Story edit to ensure it meets our expectations. Let’s work together to create and preserve the moments that mean the most to you.

Sam & Katie’s Photography Editing Style

Our approach to wedding photography is all about authenticity, emotion, and timeless beauty. We blend photojournalism with a fine-art touch to create images that reflect not only how your wedding day looked but how it felt. Our style is defined by powerful, emotional imagery that captures moments full of feeling.

We want you to relive every emotion when you look back at your wedding photos. Our editing is built on timeless coloring and meticulous attention to detail, giving each image a sense of elegance and permanence. By avoiding trendy filters and overly stylized looks, we focus on creating classic, authentic photos—ones that will feel as meaningful years from now as they do today.

No moment goes unnoticed. From the delicate lace of your gown to the expressions on your loved ones’ faces, every detail is captured in its best light. Each photograph is crafted to highlight the beauty, emotion, and personality of your wedding, ensuring you have a collection of memories as timeless as your love.

Sam & Katie’s Videography Editing Style

We bring the same passion into our wedding videography. We don’t just film your wedding—we craft a cinematic experience that captures the raw emotion and beauty of every moment. Our editing style combines cinematic grandeur with heartfelt storytelling, ensuring that each frame feels as powerful as the love story it represents.

With a keen eye for detail, we capture spontaneous, emotional moments—tear-filled vows, laughter among friends, stolen glances—using cinematic techniques like dramatic angles, seamless transitions, and rich color grading to bring your story to life. Every wedding film we create feels like a breathtaking movie, where you and your loved ones are the stars.

Your wedding day is an epic love story, and our goal is to ensure you can relive it with all the emotion and cinematic brilliance it deserves.

Who Are The WCP Associates?2024-10-25T02:29:14+00:00

The majority of our talented team of associate photographers and videographers have grown alongside us over the past decade. In our earlier days, many of our Associate Team members were personally recruited through our Windy City Production internships at NIU and Columbia. It’s incredible to look back at how far we’ve come—from a group of ambitious, unknown photographers determined to conquer the wedding world, to being internationally ranked and awarded. Along the way, we’ve also brought on exceptionally talented industry veterans after working alongside them and recognizing they shared our core Windy City Production principles: 1) Shoot like your life depends on it, 2) Relentlessly grow and refine your skillset, and 3) Be the best at adding value.

What Sets Our Associate Team Apart from Other Wedding Photography and Videography Studios?

  • Personal Involvement: Katie and I work closely with each Windy City Production associate at multiple weddings each year.
  • Extensive Experience: Every current associate team member has shot no fewer than 50 weddings with Windy City Production.
  • Quality Control: Over the past five years, Katie and I have personally edited every wedding captured by our associates.

In short, the WCP Associates have been dependably extraordinary for Windy City Production and the clients we’ve been fortunate to serve.
