Chicago Wedding Photo & Film

Same energy. Same story. Photos and video that feel like you.

Hey — I’m Aaron Bean. I’m a wedding photographer and videographer who’s spent years documenting love stories across Chicago and beyond. I bring the vibe, keep the day on track, and capture the moments you’ll want to relive forever.

Why couples book me in Chicago

Your wedding day in Chicago moves fast — getting ready downtown, a ceremony that hits you in the chest, a reception that somehow lasts five minutes and five hours at the same time. Photos freeze the beauty. Film lets you feel it again.

I shoot both, so your stills and your film live in the same world: real emotion, cinematic frames, and a personality on-set that keeps everyone breathing.

Couples tell me: they forgot the camera was there; the film makes them cry (happy tears) every time; booking video was one of the best decisions they made.

Chicago wedding photography

Documentary-leaning photos with polish. Personality over stiff posing. I photograph you — the laughter, the nerves, the jewelry adjustments, the “wait, is this real?” glances.

Photos start at $4,000

Chicago wedding films

Cinematic highlight films built to be rewatched. Emotion, sound, movement, and those little in-between moments photos can’t hold alone.

Films start at $6,000

Want both? Let’s build a photo + film day that feels cohesive from first look to last dance.
