Chad Whelan Films 

5.0

  • Documentary style
  • Starts at $2,600
  • Serves Portland, MI

Upbeat storytelling. Free-form and organic. Specializing in short form vignette wedding films and classic full length documentary edits. I have a true journalistic shooting style which means I will never be directing you or posing shots. I want you to be as natural as possible around me and want those candid moments to reflect in your final edit. You will find my videos to be much more on the upbeat side than most without the extensive use of voice throughout the video.

We used Chad Whelan for our wedding teaser video/full wedding video in April 2022. Chad was an absolute blast to work with. He made the process seamless from the time we booked him, all the way up through our wedding day. His laid back, yet professional way of going about his process makes him a wonderful wedding videographer. The quality of his work is absolutely outstanding and he truly captured every important detail of our special day. He is extremely flexible and an overall pleasure to work with. As a side note, I, the bride, lost my voice on my wedding day. This made for very interesting vows during our wedding ceremony where I basically had no voice at all. Chad offered his creative and skilled experience in the field and had me record a voice over following the wedding which he seamlessly edited into the film to make it appear that I actually had a voice that day. I go so far as to share this because it truly shows how he was willing to go the extra mile to ensure we were happy with the final result. I highly recommend Chad and his company for all of your videography needs, you will truly cherish all of the time and effort that he is willing to put into your special day and memories you will cherish for a lifetime.

  • Starts at $4,500
  • Serves Portland, MI

Granger Creative is a full-service production company specializing in weddings/couples and branding. I’ve been working in the film + media industry for 5+ years and have loved every minute of it! I believe that there’s as much meaning and beauty in the subtle and intimate as there is in the grand and exciting. The films I create tend to be nostalgic and cinematic mixed with a documentary approach. My hope is that we can be a team, bringing your memories and emotions to life. Let’s create something together!

Michelle did a video for our wedding and I just adore it. My husband and I had a non-traditional wedding at my father's house with a lot of friends/family, but only a few vendors present. I wanted the day to be as low key as possible and was picky about who we hired for the event. Michelle was amazing in every aspect. Before the wedding, she was very communicative. I did not have a wedding planner and wanted the day to be as natural as possible--no strict schedule, but capturing the moments which were special to us. We outlined the event day together and, day of, she was incredible. We had some hiccups with our AV set up and she went above and beyond to help us out with them. She was so thoughtful about how she captured the day and blended right in with our guests. My husband and I both cried when we got our video after the event--as did our friends. I would absolutely recommend her!

My Grand Rapids-based wedding videography and photography company started when some friends asked my husband and I to capture some of the greatest moments of their lives. It's grown exponentially from there but the heart is still the same. I want to help preserve your moments too. I think our journalistic, natural style will leave you feeling warm, happy, and real inside.

  • Serves Portland, MI

Working with just a handheld digital camcorder, I’m there to catch all the intimate moments without anyone feeling ‘on’ or taking additional time away from the celebration you have dreamed of for so long. Basically a fly on the wall, or permanent third wheel. I cannot wait to capture all the love in edited films to be cherished for decades to come 💗

Cailyn Renee Films provided absolutely flawless communication throughout our entire wedding experience. The quality of her work was beyond anything I could have expected. Cailyn went out of her way to do things she wasn't even there to do, like helping me feel beautiful, helping with small side tasks, and making me feel like she was my best friend the whole time. She was so sweet and amazing, going above and beyond with helping and taking care of behind-the-scenes details, even fixing my hair and dress to make sure I looked and felt my best throughout the whole night. I couldn't have asked for a better videographer to capture our special day.

Awarded Best of Zola
I have had multiple encounters with Kyla and Akachi Media. She created a promo video for me that showcased my work as an event planner. It was BEYOND what I imagined it would be. It was clean, professional, and received a lot of praise from my clients as well as friends and family. The video portrayed my work, in a way that directly aligned with my brand and ultimate vision for my company. I am still swooning over it, months later. Kyla also took my professional headshots. It is very rare to find someone who knows your angles immediately and portrays you as if you took the photo yourself! Her work is flawless. She will always have my business.

Ink & Opal Co.

You’ve probably heard the meaning of opal as, “precious stone,” or “queen of gems,” but we’re really focused on the reflected light that an opal emits (we’re photographers and videographers after all, we're kind of obsessed with light). We’re really here to be a light to our clients, meaning it’s our priority to show love to everyone because of the love that we have been shown.

As a fellow photographer, I loved getting to meet & learn from Tiffany at one of her workshops. As a fellow photographer, I have long admired her work and love following along with her content! She has a beautiful way of incorporating the beauty of nature into her photographs. She is a gem of a human and makes you feel so comfortable!

We used Conner for our wedding on May 3, 2025. We were looking for a DJ and our photographer who had worked with him multiple times had recommended him…. Fast forward we found out he also did videography and we booked him for both- and we are so glad we did! He was so amazing, along with our photographer, they worked together so well and made sure we stayed on schedule and got all the moments captured we wanted. We almost didn’t go with videography but I’m so glad we decided to! He did such an amazing job with both the video and DJ. If we could do the day again, we would 100% have him again! He is so great to work with and so professional, I would recommend him to everyone! Thank you so much Conner for capturing the best day of our lives, the video was even better than we ever imagined. I hope we have the chance to work with you again in the future for another event. THANK YOU!!!!
