Wedding Videographers in Chicago

Highway 61 Films is a well-regarded and award winning team of wedding filmmakers based in Chicago and working with couples globally. We are a boutique company that edits all of our films in house by the owner, Jason Monroe. Either Jason or Jake Preedin are at every wedding and most often it’s both of them.

We are eager to get to know people. We communicate with our couples in a clear, thoughtful and timely manner. Every interaction is an opportunity to build on a meaningful relationship.

We build custom offerings to suit different budgets and wishlists, including trailers/ highlights, full length features, ceremony edits, drone coverage, Super 8mm film and other options.

Our couples have praised us for our innovation, creativity and authenticity. They have appreciated our high-touch approach and the way we capture the nuances of their wedding event that they said were important. We often get complimented by families on how comfortable we make them feel and our disarming presence. We have close relationships with many planners, photographers and venues whom we work with.

We were founded by Jason Monroe in 2009. Jason has over 20 years of experience in the wedding business and over 25 years of experience making films in several disciplines.

Take a look around. Think we might be a good fit?

“Yes, you need a videographer. And yes, you need Highway 61 films. We enjoyed every detail from planning with Jason to receiving the email that our trailer and feature film was ready. I especially loved the raw footage that we purchased on top of our package. IT IS WORTH IT! We couldn't imagine not having Jason at our rehearsal dinner too and are so grateful we had him there to film our wedding weekend.”
