I'm Leo, and I've filmed weddings across Chicagoland for over a decade. West Chicago is DuPage County prairie country — wide-open golf courses, historic brick downtown streets, and gardens just minutes away, all without downtown Chicago traffic or prices.

Why West Chicago weddings film beautifully

You get space to breathe here. Big skies over the fairways, sunset light across native prairie grass, and venues built for both an outdoor ceremony and a packed reception in one place.

• Prairie Landing Golf Club — West Chicago's signature wedding venue on Longest Drive. A Robert Trent Jones Jr. Scottish-links course with floor-to-ceiling ballroom windows, a patio overlooking the 9th and 18th holes, and golden-hour ceremonies that film beautifully.
• St. Andrews Golf & Country Club — on Neltnor Boulevard, family-owned since 1926. Two championship courses, four banquet rooms, and a dedicated outdoor ceremony area — classic country-club footage with room for big guest lists.
• Cantigny Park — minutes south in Wheaton, the estate gardens couples love for portraits. Formal gardens, the Red Oak Room, and tree-lined grounds that give you a garden wedding feel close to West Chicago.
• Sky Banquets — on North Avenue in West Chicago. A bright, modern banquet hall with a wide dance floor — receptions here are all energy, and that energy reads great on film.
• All Dreams Banquet — on Roosevelt Road in West Chicago. A newer, elegant hall built for weddings and quinceañeras alike, with clean lines and warm light for evening celebrations.

Prairie sunsets, garden vows, a full dance floor — I film it all without taking over your day.

Travel within Chicagoland is included — no travel fees.

• 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

"He got our style, he understood what was important to us and had fun with us through the whole day. We couldn't have asked for a better match for us to shoot our day." — Lindsey ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ · read more reviews

West Chicago wedding videography FAQs

Do you film at Prairie Landing and St. Andrews? Yes — both are West Chicago favorites. Prairie Landing's patio and links views and St. Andrews' outdoor ceremony lawn and ballrooms are regular stops for me.

Can we take portraits at Cantigny? Absolutely — Cantigny's gardens in Wheaton are about 10 minutes away and are one of the best portrait spots in DuPage County. Just check their photo permit timing when you plan your day.

Is West Chicago easy for guests to reach? Yes. It's at Routes 59, 38, and 64 with a Metra station downtown, about 30 miles west of Chicago, and plenty of hotels nearby in Warrenville, Naperville, and St. Charles.

How far in advance should we book? As soon as your venue is set. Popular Saturdays at the golf clubs book 12–18 months out, especially May through October.
