I'm Leo, and I've filmed weddings across Chicagoland for over a decade. Glen Ellyn is a tree-lined western suburb with a storybook lake, a charming brick downtown, and venues that range from intimate to grand — all minutes apart.

Why Glen Ellyn weddings film beautifully

You get small-town calm with big-day polish. Lakeside portraits, golf-course greens, and classic ballrooms sit within a short drive of downtown and the Metra line.

• Abbington Distinctive Banquets — a grand ballroom at Route 53 and Butterfield Road, called the jewel of the western suburbs. Chandeliers and a spacious dance floor make receptions look timeless on film.
• Glen Oak Country Club — a historic private club on Hill Avenue with manicured grounds. Outdoor ceremonies here are green, quiet, and full of soft natural light.
• Lake Ellyn Boathouse — a restored historic boathouse on the shore of Lake Ellyn. Lakeside vows and sunset portraits here are as romantic as the western suburbs get.
• Reserve 22 at the Village Links of Glen Ellyn — the Blue Heron room overlooking the golf course, with a large patio facing the 18th green. Bright, open, and relaxed for cocktail hour.
• Crowne Plaza Lombard Downers Grove — a hotel ballroom venue on Roosevelt Road in Glen Ellyn. Guests can stay on site, which keeps the whole day simple and the dance floor full.

Why couples book I Do Video

A lakeside ceremony or a 300-guest ballroom — I film it quietly, without taking over your day.

Travel within Chicagoland is included — no travel fees.

• Multi-camera coverage so nothing gets missed — ceremony, speeches, and the dance floor all at once
• Full professional editing: a 5–7 minute highlight film, your full-length film, and a 30–60 second teaser
• A small, unobtrusive crew — a DSLR on a tripod and a wireless mic on the officiant, not a big production in your face
• Honest pricing — my "No One Pays Full Price" discounts make it easy to fit a videographer in your budget

Is Glen Ellyn convenient for guests? Very. It's about 25 miles west of downtown Chicago, off I-355 and Roosevelt Road, with a Metra stop downtown and hotels right on Roosevelt Road.

Can we do portraits outdoors nearby? Absolutely — the Lake Ellyn shoreline, the Village Links greens, and Glen Ellyn's tree-lined downtown streets all give you great backdrops minutes from your reception.
