Martha’s Vineyard Wedding Film

Location: Menemsha, Martha’s VineyardVenue: Private Residence

Martha’s Vineyard is quickly becoming one of our favorite locations for filming destination weddings. The gorgeous wedding of Alix and Ollie took place at a private home in Menemsha and we were so excited to capture their special day. Alix and Ollie are both very creative, and put a lot of thought into the design and details of their wedding. The wedding film has a combination of vintage Super 8 film and high-defintion digital footage to give it a super romantic feel. Enjoy!

Alix & Ollie’s Wedding was featured in the March 2012 Issue of Weddings Unveiled. Weddings Unveiled Magazine

Chicago Interfaith Wedding at The Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum

Location: ChicagoVenue: The Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum

Katie and Shaan met in New York City while she was attending graduate school at Columbia University. Their relationship officially began when Shaan invited Katie to a broadway production of The Lion King. Several years later, Shaan proposed to her on the stage where The Lion King production took place. They had a beautiful Chicago interfaith wedding that brought together Catholic and Islamic traditions. We were so thrilled to capture the events of their wedding and enjoyed getting to know them. Here is a highlight film from their wedding weekend.

I Do Films Expanding to Phoenix/Scottsdale Market

Location: Scottsdale, ArizonaVenue: Paradise Valley Country Club

We have big news to share! If you haven’t already noticed, our website now shows 3 locations to pick from: Chicago, Destination, and Phoenix/Scottsdale. We’ve been filming weddings in Chicago and destinations world-wide for years now, but the Phoenix/Scottsdale Market is a new addition. In 2011, we were fortunate to film a few weddings in Arizona, and of course, we fell in love with the warm weather, beautiful scenery and the opportunity to film a few outdoor weddings (which rarely happens in Chicago). We had been looking at locations to open a second studio, and after our Arizona trips, the Phoenix/Scottsdale Market just felt like the perfect fit for I Do Films.

Here is a highlight film from one of our 2011 Arizona weddings:

It was a beautiful wedding and Lindsay and Brian were such a delight to work with. We also had a fabulous vendor team to work with including Wedding Consultant Sandy Walker of In Awe Events, Photographer Jennifer Bowen, and many more:
