Waukegan Wedding Videographer

I'm Leo, and I've been filming weddings across Chicagoland for over a decade. Waukegan has a character all its own — lakefront breezes, a beautifully restored downtown, and venues with real history behind them.

Why Waukegan weddings film beautifully

There's something cinematic about this city. Couples get the best of both worlds: affordable, down-to-earth venues and backdrops with genuine personality — from a 1927 movie palace to green fairways minutes from Lake Michigan.

Vidos

  • Historic Genesee Theatre — a restored 1927 movie palace with gilded details and a marquee made for grand entrances. Vows on that stage look straight out of a classic film.
  • Glen Flora Country Club — a century-old North Shore golf club; the outdoor fireplace and patio are perfect for cocktail-hour candids.
  • Bonnie Brook Golf Course — championship fairways dotted with mature trees and ponds; golden hour here is unreal.
  • Salon Latino Banquet Hall — 18-foot ceilings and crystal chandeliers over one of the biggest dance floors around. First dances look incredible under those lights.
  • Lakehurst Events — a spacious venue that handles big celebrations with ease, up to 800 guests.

Waukegan wedding videography FAQs

How far in advance should we book? As soon as you have your venue — popular Waukegan dates at the Genesee Theatre and the golf clubs go 12–18 months out.

Will you travel to Waukegan from where you're based? Absolutely — Waukegan is a quick drive for me, and travel within Chicagoland is always included. No travel fees, ever.

What does the day-of coverage look like? I quietly film the moments as they happen — getting ready, ceremony, portraits, speeches, and the party. You'll barely notice the cameras.

Do we get the raw footage too? Every couple receives professionally edited films first, and raw footage options are available if you want every frame.
