Jeremy did a fantastic job capturing our wedding! We're soooo happy with how the final videos turned out, and he was a pleasure to work with. He was super nice, very organized, and knew what he was doing so the wedding day was a perfect. Highly recommend! read more

Leo was incredible! I was considering not doing a video for our wedding and SO happy we did! He is reasonably priced, compared to other videographers out there. The day of, Leo was very professional and knew exactly what shots to capture. You could tell he had done this countless times before. I didn't have to worry about a thing when it came to capturing all those special moments of the day. He gave direction, knew exactly what shots he needed and the finished product was beautiful! Highly recommend Leo!! read more

My friend used I Do Video by Leo for her wedding back in June 2017. Her videographer's name was Mike (I believe!!) and her videos were absolutely amazing!!! So when it came time to book my videographer for my August 2018 wedding I immediately went to the I Do Video by Leo website thinking I would ask for Mike. But fell into A RABBIT HOLE seriously for like two hours watching Leo's videos. There was no doubt about it I was booking him. Through out the process of planning the wedding, he was so attentive and responsive. Day of he was kind, professional and just amazing to work with!! And he literally captures everything but you barely see him!? How does he do it!! After all the planning I felt so good knowing I was going to love the final product! And I can tell you...I LOVE THE FINAL CUTS!! I received a wedding trailer (1 min), a short wedding video (3-5 min) and then a longer wedding video (hour long). He also sends the raw footage and final cuts via flash drive as well. DO NOT HESITATE, BOOK LEO. PS - He also is very active on Instagram and will post little clips of your wedding weeks and months after and it's always so fun to pop on Insta and see them :) read more

I emailed him for a quote back in January several months before my wedding. After getting the quote he asked me to give a schedule, which I did. He never replied, until I sent an another email, and again asked me more specifics on my schedule. I painstakingly filled out details for him so he would get a better handle on the wedding day schedule. I did this while I was sick and in the hospital. Notified him also that my husband was a US veteran, since his website offers discounts to vets. I never heard from him again. Not sure what is with some of these wedding vendors, but they must be doing really well if they get to pick and choose their clients and decide never to email them back. Maybe he didn't want to do an "ethnic" wedding since most of his reviews are from white people? Who the heck knows? Very unprofessional and rude. read more

I can't tell you the number of times we went back and forth on whether to have a videographer for our October 2017 wedding. After speaking to too many people who regretted not having one, we took the plunge. I Do Video provided just what we wanted-- a cute short video to remember our wedding and all of the raw footage of the speeches, first dances, and ceremony. Comparatively, we couldn't believe what other companies were charging for this kind of service. I Do Video was affordable and reliable. Caleb was our videographer and did a fantastic job. Like our photographer, you'd hardly know he was there. Now we can't believe how stupid we sounded for potentially forgoing a videographer on our big day. read more

After having Leo record my wedding on video and doing a fantastic job, we recommended him to a friend and I also got to see him in action recording their wedding this past weekend. I think I gained even more appreciation for his great work when I got to see him at our friend's wedding because I saw how active he was running around trying to get all the perfect angles and videos. It's clear that he knows what he wants his final product to include, and he works hard to make it happen. Leo was a pleasure to work with on our big day and he turned around the "preview" and the final product very quickly. He really created amazing videos that will be lasting memories of our wedding day and we can watch over and over again. I highly recommend Leo for any of your video needs! read more

Leo was an absolute dream to work with. He came highly referred by my sister from her 2016 wedding, captured mine in 2019 and we could not be more excited to see him again in 2020 for our third sister. He was our favorite vendor to work with. He was so responsive and professional and really helped with our day of timeline, which was personally one of the hardest parts of wedding planning for me. He walked me to my first look and as fast as the day and night progressed from their, I felt so comforted in knowing that he was there capturing every moment. From trailer, to highlights to full length video, his footage is our most treasured from the wedding. We will have forever and always get to experience the day again by how magically he preserved all our special moments. read more

I live in San Diego Ca, my daughter got married in Chicago IL and arranged A video with I DO VIDEO by Leo. I had no idea what to expect! I would recommend Leo over anyone I have ever used! Leo was well dressed prompt polite and he was everywhere! When planning a wedding you are very nervous about the video and the photographer and we were blessed with both!!!! If you want it to be perfect I recommend Leo, you won't be disappointed !!! Thanks Leo!!! read more

We got married in September of 2014 and hired Leo and I Do Video to provide the videography for our wedding ceremony and reception. Looking back, it's one of the best wedding choices we made. It's difficult to imagine my wedding day being any more spectacular than it already was, but Leo's talented videography work gave my wife and me a beautiful new perspective on our own ceremony and reception. The day goes by so fast that the bride and groom often miss many of the little things that make the event so special, and we were no different. Fortunately, Leo and his assistant managed to capture it all on video perfectly. In fact, his eye for composition and his video editing skills made our wedding even more vibrant and exciting than it already was. He's that good. FIVE STAR REVIEWS ABOUND: There's a reason Leo has earned nothing but 5 star reviews from all the fellow Yelpers before me. He's professional, quick to respond to email, easy to talk to, and generally makes you feel comfortable knowing he's got everything under control. Just take a look around at all the other review sites on which he's listed--Wedding Wire, Google+, The Knot, the I Do Video Facebook page--and you'll see that anyone who's worked with him has had nothing but glowing things to say about him and the service he provides. VERY AFFORDABLE PRICING: Furthermore, Leo's pricing is one of the lowest that I've seen in the Chicagoland area. But don't let the old "higher cost = better quality" heuristic throw you. The teaser movie trailer he provided in order to hold us over until the full video is complete is better than any of the other videos you'll find online by competing services. This, in itself, was impressive, but what's even more astounding is that videography isn't even his full time career! During our first meeting he mentioned that this work all started out as a personal interest, but as more and more people began to realize his talent for telling wedding stories through video, the more organically his business began to grow. He even recently won a 2014 Wedding Wire Couples' Choice Award. FRIENDLY & RESPONSIVE SERVICE: My first interaction with Leo was a request for pricing about 1.5 months before the wedding (yes, we were cutting it close on timing with a few vendors). He has some wedding video packages on his website, but he assured me over email that he would gladly work with me on a video package that met my budget. The second time we spoke was in person about a week before the wedding--a quick meeting at a coffee shop to hash out the details. Leo came prepared with his list of questions, asking us about our relationship, the order of the ceremony & reception, any special moments he should capture, and generally trying to get an understanding of how we wanted the day recorded. He explained his process for the wedding day and also his timeline for delivering the finished video product. Finally, on our wedding day, I said hi to Leo once after the ceremony and I never saw him again. He was there throughout the whole thing, as his video trailer proves, but he blended in, disappeared. He was never intrusive--just another wedding guest at the party. He probably spent 9-10 hours with us during our wedding--more than most of the guests--and yet I feel like I saw him least of all. Still, somehow he managed to capture all the most important events. ALL YOUR VIDEO ARE BELONG TO US: While the polished, finished wedding video is obviously the main deliverable, I'm the type of person that likes to have all the raw footage as well. I like to consider it the extended Director's Cut of our wedding day. Thankfully, Leo gives you every minute of video he records...if you want it. No additional fees. No catch. It's all yours (at least with the package we chose). Specifically, he gives you a USB flash drive with all the raw footage in HD to do with as you please. He also offers the final edited version of your video on either Blu-Ray or DVD (and I believe he gives you a movie file of the finished version on the flash drive as well). I know some videographers don't give you everything, but Leo passes it all over to his customers. They own all the video footage from their wedding. I can't say enough great things about Leo and I wish him all the best with his growing wedding video business. There's a reason his customers all leave rave reviews for him: he's a genuinely good guy whose talented videography and editing work have helped many a bride and groom relive one of the most exciting days of their lives. And ours was no exception. read more

Francisco & Julia Martinez Wedding 03/01/14-Videography Service 4 words: BEST WEDDING EXPENSE EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) From the moment we met Leo (wedding day) we knew he was the right person for the job!! He welcomed us with a smile, very friendly, easy to talk to, EXTREMELY HELPFUL and has a great vibe. He showed up on time, made us feel very comfortable throughout the video process (different shots) and he blended right in with everyone, WE COULDN'T EVEN TELL HE WAS THERE, his service made our day even more special. We just saw the video montage and it is more than we ever expected, can't wait to see the full DVD, he is a true artist and we are true believers of his work. He is great at communicating with you, getting back to you and following up-outstanding customer service. Leo, you will have us as customers for future events!! THANK YOU SO MUCH, words can't describe how grateful we are for the wonderful work you did, THANK YOU!! :) read more

Leo was OUTSTANDING!!!! The video/videos were so incredible, it brought me to tears (multiple times). I was a little nervous on the day of the wedding about someone filming us throughout , however, Leo made us feel so comfortable and it was like having an old friend with us. He is so professional and organized. I was shocked how quickly he got us our full video! Thank you so much, Leo! We are so happy to have had you as our videographer. read more

Leo was amazing! He was so easy to work with and truly captured every special moment of our wedding day. We couldn't have asked for anymore! I highly recommend using I Do Video by Leo for your wedding! read more

Leo did an amazing job on our wedding video from 8/11/17. He was so helpful throughout the entire process, very quick to respond to any emails/texts, and very fun to work with (all for a very reasonable price!) We got our teaser and highlight video very quickly and cannot wait to see our full video. I was recommended by a coworker and we're so happy we worked with Leo! read more

I hired Leo to be our videographer for our wedding. I live in Las Vegas but got married in Chicago, so I hired him and spoke with him several times through email before actually meeting him on our wedding day! Leo was so quick to respond to emails, which I really appreciated due to the fact that I was planning a wedding across the country. Come wedding day, he showed up on time and did his thing without being in anyone's way. On top of the excellent service, his prices are very reasonable! We cannot wait to watch our video! read more

Leo was amazing. He was a true professional and knew how to get things done. In some of his reviews I have read that you don't even notice he is there most of the time, I thought that would be impossible since hello, it's someone with a video camera, but I was so wrong. If he wasn't directly in front of me filming something I really forgot he was there most of the time. He was on time delivering all the final products and the quality is amazing. Leo is definitely worth the investment! I only got married 3 months ago and when I re-watched the video there were already so many things I had forgotten. read more

We worked with Phil Hosticka for our wedding this July. Not only was he an awesome person, but his videography was amazing. We barely felt him filming and the shots he obtained are just incredible! He was terrific working with our photographer and the two of them made a great team capturing our big day. The video he produced for us was out of this world (check out John and Heidi on Phil's Vimeo.com site) and will make a great memento for us in the future. Highly recommended. 5 stars all the way! read more

Leo is highly recommended! He was our videographer for our August 2014 wedding. He was professional from the very first contact with him. He arrived early on site, captured all our moments without us even noticing, and even waited for us to be ready for our send off several minutes past schedule. We loved the video montage he put together as a preview and we are confident that we will love our final wedding video. You won't be disappointed with his work! read more

A video of our wedding was one of the last things we thought about during wedding planning, we almost decided not to hire a videographer. We were very happy with the video Phil produced! Our family and friends have complimented what a great video it was too. Phil was really receptive to our personal style, interests and desires through the whole process. The end product was impressive. We sincerely appreciate his friendly nature and easygoing personality the day of the wedding, and all the hard work he put in to make such a great compilation of memories for us! read more

I was referred to Phil through one of my friends who used him as the videographer at her wedding. I was in the bridal party, and the thing I liked most about Phil was how he had such a relaxed demeanor and yet he was also able to capture amazing footage. I booked Phil about a year before my wedding. I spoke to him a few weeks before the wedding to discuss a game plan for the day. He was extremely flexible and was willing to accommodate any request we had. On the day of the wedding, he was unbelievable. He was relaxed but direct, and he knew how to get the best shots in the shortest amount of time. We received our wedding highlight video in less than a week. We were absolutely blown away by how perfect it was. I tear up every time I watch it. I posted it to Facebook, and so many people commented on how he captured the wedding perfectly - it was almost like we went back to the day. Many guests at our wedding commented on how they didn't realize that we even had a videographer because Phil was so great about capturing things without getting in the way and being intrusive. Within 2 weeks, he had already sent our full DVD which included all raw footage from the day, an hour video that included all speeches, toasts, dancing, etc, and the highlight video. An added bonus was that he worked really well with our photographer, Krista Scarlavai, and they complemented each other very well. All in all, one of the best decisions we made was booking Phil for our wedding. He is phenomenal and you will not be disappointed if you book with him. read more

From the initial email I sent to I Do Video by Leo I knew this would be our videographer. Leo was so inviting from the start and even customized a package based on our budget. Our videographer for the day of our wedding was Phil Hosticka and I cannot say enough good things about him. He was so professional and worked amazingly well with our photographer. Not only does Phil have some awesome talent (seriously- we are still getting compliments on our video teaser months later, grown men have told us they cried!), he was so much help to my husband and I on our wedding day. He went above and beyond all day long and I will never stop recommending him and I Do Video to our friends and family! read more

We recently had our wedding in Chicago and Phil Hosticka was our videographer. He was amazing! His personality and talent made the day extra special. I highly recommend Leo and Phil for your wedding. You will not regret your decision! read more

We worked with Leo through the contract phase, which was easy enough. My husband was concerned about a videographer "getting in the way", so we specifically asked for a videographer who would document the day but without making it a major motion picture event, so Leo matched us with Zach Mundzic. Zach showed up early and did a great job of capturing so many special moments without being "in the way" at all - in fact, we forgot he was there! The highlight video is a gem and makes me cry every time - he timed the music to the clips perfectly - and the full video captures all the major moments so well. Very happy! read more

Leo is fantastic! You must book him! He is very accommodating with a hectic schedule and great to work with. He knows what he is doing and worked very well alongside our photographer, wedding planner and venue coordinator. He made me feel comfortable and was extremely professional. Our wedding video is something I will cherish for the rest of my life. It captures the day like no one else could. I can't say enough good things about IDoVideoByLeo - every bride and groom should make sure they lock them in the minute they are engaged! read more

Our wedding was about 2 months ago. We have already received the 1 minute, 5 minute and a few short videos! We absolutely love that the videos are composed of all different aspects of our wedding...from the ceremony emotional parts to the parting at the end. The day goes by so quickly it is nice to have a video reminder of the day and to see everyone else enjoying themselves. Leo did all of this for us and without him we would not have all these wonderful memories. He has a great personality and goes with the flow of the day. He was able to work with our bridal party and photographer wonderfully. We would happily refer him to our friends. Thank you Leo! read more

Anthony did an amazing job on our wedding video from our 6/17/17 wedding. He was incredibly professional and had great suggestions for cool shots. He delivered our highlight video within a few weeks after the wedding, and it was amazing. I can't recommend him enough. read more

Where do I even begin? First of all, hiring Leo for our 9-16-17 wedding was BY FAR the greatest decision we made throughout the entire wedding planning process. Without a doubt. (Anyone on the fence of having a videographer should HIGHLY consider it - you'll wish you had one!) And Leo is without a question the best videographer one could ask for. He is extremely professional at what he does. He knows what he is doing, is fully prepared and flexible for anything, and keeps to the schedule. He is incredibly kind and polite. The morning of my wedding he showed up on time, ready to go, and wasted no time getting started. He is a self-started and needed no direction. (Not only that, he wore a sangria colored shirt - which was the same color as my bridesmaid dresses! What are the odds?!) He does a FANTASTIC job of staying in the background/"behind the scenes" throughout the day! In fact, I hardly even noticed him there!! He works extremely well with your other vendors. He worked perfectly with my photographer and let her take the lead! While we were outside at our venue taking pictures with the photographer, Leo asked if he could bring out his drone to get some spectacular footage from the sky! AMAZING!!!! What a fun surprise that was for me! The icing on the cake for me was him sharing a few photos on his Instagram story as well has his SUPER FAST turnaround time of my trailer. The quality of video/audio is beautiful and I probably watched the teaser trailer a million times? It took my breath away when I first saw it. It's enough to hold you over until the full video comes out. He is just SO talented. Not to mention, very easy to get a hold of. I had no problems e-mailing, texting, or contacting him with any questions or details regarding my big day. He always responded within minutes!!! The wedding video he captured will be our most cherished memories to relive the day. (Something photos can't do). We have Leo to thank for that. I researched a few other videographers before making my decision. Leo blows everyone else out of the water! His professionalism, portfolio of work, and unbeatable price, sets him FAR above anyone else!! Hire Leo and you will NOT be disappointed. It will be the best decision you make for your wedding. read more

We had I Do Video be our videographers for our wedding. Leo runs this company but had Danny actually come to our wedding to film. Danny was on time and ready to go. He's pretty quiet but don't let that scare you. He caught everything on tape! He hooked a small invisible microphone to my husband so that we could hear the vows in the actual video. The price is extremely inexpensive compared to other vendors out there and I would pay for this service at a wedding over and over! It's so worth it!! read more

You won't be disappointed! We got married downtown Chicago and Leo was our videographer. He was with us every step of the way capturing every memorable moment from preparations and the ceremony, through shutting down the dance floor. Leo was prompt, professional and a blast to work with! I was concerned with feeling like I had a camera in my face all day, but I'm so glad we booked Leo, as he was not invasive at all and managed to seamlessly capture the spirit of the day. Leo created both a full length video, as well as a brilliant summary video set to music that perfectly matched our personalities and was perfect for sharing on social media with friends and family (everyone asks "who did that video!?!"). We literally can't stop watching our video; it was the perfect complement to our pictures that lets us continue to re-live our special day. Thanks again Leo! read more

We really enjoyed working with the team at I Do Video by Leo on for our wedding. From start to finish they were extremely professional, flexible, and worked with us to ensure that everything would (and did!) go as smoothly as possible on our wedding day. Initially we reached out requesting Leo's services, but were disappointed he was not available. However, we had the chance to work with Ryan O'Connor and he was awesome. Very personable and hustled during the course of our wedding day to make sure he was catching all the action. While we have not see the output yet, we are very excited for Ryan's work and appreciative of the team at I Do Video by Leo for making our wedding day awesome. So thank you again and for those considering a videographer for their big day, definitely reach out to I Do Video by Leo, you won't regret it! read more

We used I Do Video for our March 2014 wedding and couldn't have been happier! Leo was amazing to work with from the beginning. He is prompt, friendly and extremely professional. On the day of the wedding, Leo made the wedding party and guests feel at ease and even had the bride laughing despite the nerves! He got great shots without once feeling like he was in the way. Leo even stayed late when the reception was running behind schedule! The video itself is excellent and I still can't believe how perfectly he put together all the special moments. Leo's prices beat anyone in the area and I would recommend him no matter your budget- he's just the best! read more

Leo was a pleasure to work with! We just got our wedding video and it is perfect. Do not think twice... Book him right away!

After browsing Yelp and Google looking for a videographer for our wedding and seeing many options that looked nice but were prohibitively expensive, we came across Leo. We were impressed by Leo's portfolio and his price was very reasonable so we booked him, and we are so glad that we did! From the beginning, he was very responsive, quick to answer all of my questions over email. On our wedding day, Leo was fun and professional and captured our entire day using multiple cameras. We received our teaser video, highlight video, and full-length video all in a timely manner. He even incorporated a surprise engagement video that I made for my wife into our final full-length video. I also love that Leo provided us with all of the raw clips that he shot. All of our videos turned out great. My wife cried (the good kind of crying!) after seeing each of the videos Leo sent us. We are very happy that we chose Leo and that we now have an incredible video memory of our wedding day to keep forever - without going over budget. If you want awesome, professional results without spending a fortune, Leo is your guy. read more

A videographer was something that I wanted for my July 11th (7/11) wedding day... to capture moments I never wanted to forget, moments I missed throughout the day, and to have a memory to replay for myself, my soon-to-be-husband, and possibly my kids one day. However, this was not in our budget... UNTIL I came across I Do Video with Leo!! Leo has truly made all my dreams come true! This was, by far, the best decision we made! Leo, from the beginning, was prompt with responses to email questions, friendly, and easy to communicate with! The day of the wedding was amazing! He took charge, grabbed shots that I didn't even know he got - girls getting ready, shoes, rings, dress, church, decorations, and all the little details that us women work so hard to put together - HE GOT! Everything was so natural with him that it wasn't like he was a producer, but he was just capturing such real moments with his little touches! He has a natural talent, is super nice and friendly, always smiling and very relaxed, and makes AMAZING videos! This is simply going off of my highlight video - which I already received LESS than 2 weeks after our wedding day! I truly can't say enough great things about Leo and working with him! I have already highly recommended him to many of my friends!! I know with the quality of his work, his prices, and his professionalism, you will NOT be disappointed! Thanks Leo, for capturing one of the greatest days of my life and giving me the opportunity to have it forever! You are truly the best!! read more
