ILC Films Also unlike most wedding videographers out there, all our package come with at least 2 videographers. This ensures that the quality and the depth of your video is always on par with our standards. We tell our stories as elegantly and unobtrusively as possible. Our films capture the events we cover precisely as they happen. Nothing artificial, nothing cheesy.

Based in Austin, Texas, ILC Films is a talented team of cinematographers. Coming from a wide range of backgrounds, we kind of form an oddball group of unlikely videographers. That doesn't mean we don't know what we are doing, though! We would love to be your Austin wedding videographer. SDE's are by and large one of our favorite things to do.
Graduating with a degree in Advertising, I originally had a dream of creating commercials one day. After filming my first wedding in 2010, my life completely changed. I instantly knew I was in love. I packed up my bags, moved to Austin and hit the ground running. 200+ weddings later, I'm proud to say that I have the best job in the world.
I am so pleased to meet you, dear friend! I'm a fine art film wedding photographer who is drawn to storytelling through an artful, genuine approach to photography. My heart beats for classic, outdoor weddings with romantic touches and meaningful details that add to the captivating story of your relationship.
A Same Day Edit is a 3 to 5 minute highlight video shot, edited and screened during the reception for you and all of your guests to see. SDEs are definitely one of our favorite things to do and seeing everyone's reaction is definitely one of the most rewarding parts of our job! It's all about organization and team work.

They were so wonderful! We booked last minute and they were wonderful from start to finish. They even set up streaming for us so that friends and family who couldn’t make it due to covid could tune in! They were patient and so friendly!

ILC Films was great to work with. Don is the main point of contact for the team, and he is awesome. He’s friendly and responsive, and he even did a little customizing for our video package. Kevin was the lead videographer on our wedding day, and he was everywhere he needed to be. They were on time, stayed to the end, and were on top of things the whole day.

We are so happy with our wedding videos!! Not to mention, the turnaround was quick – we got our videos exactly a month after our wedding. We originally didn’t have budget for video, but I am so glad we took the extra expense, and extremely glad we booked ILC (and that they were available!). Overall, working with them was a breeze and we love the final product. Highly recommend them for your wedding video.

The moments immediately prior to opening our wedding video were filled with nerves... We had such a wonderful wedding, but what if we don't like the video or it captures things that ruin our memory of it? Yes, we had seen dozens (truly) of wedding videos from ILC Films and all were amazing, but would we also love ours? HELL YES, we would! It was everything we could have wanted and more.

The skills with which this team could capture the unfolding of our night was incredible and beautiful, and the editing of the highlight video was out of this world. They really did capture everything exactly as we remembered it - it was beautiful, it was authentic, it was us. Thank you so much to ILC Films for such an incredible product, what is a true gift to us for years and years to come. Nothing but endless raving for this team here!

We worked with Don from ILC Films and he was incredible! First off, our rehearsal dinner was held on a **slightly** covered patio amidst a monsoon... Don and his team showed up with raincoats fully prepared and excited to record the night's festivities. I am still amazed at the fact that there were no technical difficulties for Don and his team... meanwhile, the lightbulbs on the patio are shattering and it's raining inside the restaurant (yes, it happened).

During our big day, Don and his team did a great job blending in and working with our photographer to capture special moments for us as well as moments we missed (i.e. guests socializing during cocktail hour, chatting around their tables, etc.). He then put it all together via highlight video that showcased the energy and love we felt throughout that weekend. Lastly, his turnaround time and level of responsiveness exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend working with Don and the ILC team for your wedding - they won't disappoint!

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Don from ILC Films. We actually reached out to them with only a few weeks notice as we were just having a really small ceremony, but we could not have been more impressed with everything from start to finish. Don and team are AMAZING! Don spent the whole day with us and our family - at our house getting ready, at the ceremony, and at the first part of our reception and dinner.

The moments Don captured and the style in which he put the videos together are beyond special and feel so authentic to us and our family. They are literally the most priceless memories of all time. Don himself was SO enjoyable to work with and get to know. He felt like part of the family and was so easy going, accommodating, and professional. After the big day, the videos Don sent us were virtually perfect! Yet, even when we asked Don for several minor tweaks ... he was so responsive, so flexible, and made the whole process so enjoyable. We are forever grateful to Don, ILC Films, and the whole team!

Working with ILC Films was a wonderful experience! We booked them for our wedding in October. They also upload mini preview videos online, so it is easy to check them out yourself to make sure their style is what you are looking for. From the start, Don was responsive and upfront about his pricing, equipment, or any other questions we had. We received our videos just few weeks after the wedding, and we were able to immediately share the videos digitally with family members who were unable to attend, which was such a joy.

During the actual wedding, Don did a great job of keeping a low profile but still capturing all the key moments. He also had fabric tape handy for me when one of my dress straps was loose. That small detail really stuck out to me, because it shows a extra level of professionalism and client service that exceeded expectations. I would highly recommend ILC Films to anyone in Texas!

Don was an absolute pleasure to work with and made the entire experience a great one. On the days leading up to our wedding, he met with us so that we could get to know each other and made sure that our wedding film would be exactly what we wanted. Don made the whole experience so relaxing and easy-going. He made my wife and I feel so comfortable in front of the camera.

Not to mention, Don is just such a great and funny guy. He's so easy to get along with. Thank you ILC Films for letting us relive this special moment over and over again. We will definitely recommend you to all of our friends.

He did a fantastic job and really captured the essence of the day with the highlight video. Don was very professional and went above and beyond for us . Best money we spent on the wedding by far ! So thankful we decided to do a video ! I highly recommend Don and ILC Films .

ILC FIlms was one of the best additions to our wedding day! I honestly didn't even know they were there. I'm not sure how they were able to capture all of the unique angles without being intrusive to the moment. Amazing! Don communicated so well with us. We could not be happier and highly recommend this videographer to other couples!

Here I am.weeping again.as I watch my wedding video. Let's hope Don can't see how many times someone watches from a iPhone because that's just embarrassing. You can't blame me though, it's just THAT good! When we went through the checklist of what to have/not have we did the usual (photographer, cake, etc) but I said no to video.

I couldn't imagine spending time watching my wedding video plus I'm the person who hides my face in the pillows during the scenes in romantic comedies when the nice guy gets kicked below the belt so I felt like all I'd do is want to skip past the parts of me. Turns out, I look great on camera (well thanks to some special editing!). While this may seem like something you can pass on, DON'T.

It will become your favorite thing to sit and do as time passes. Personally, I like to have a glass of wine while I relive moments that I can't quite remember because as a Bride you can't be everywhere! It was so special to finally see what my Bridesmaids looked like walking down the aisle, to register the moment when my husband realized I was his WIFE and to see my father smile as he stood to give me away. Don, the moments you gave me are ones that I will never be able to thank you for. Here's hoping this review will help more Brides see your special talent.

ILC films may have been the best money we spent on the wedding. They made a beautiful day-of video (that they edited and played for our guests at the end of the night). It was professionally done, and we loved it. On another note, their staff was kind and happy for us -- a real joy to work with. If you have doubts about hiring a videographer (as I did), don't fret about ILC. They are great.

These guys are so sweet and awesome to work with!!!!!!!! Would recommend them to anyone. I think Don has filmed at least 4 of my friends weddings. Can't wait to see you at the next one!

Thanks ilc films for whipping out our fun office video! Everyone at our conference loved it! You guys are pros!

Every time I watch our wedding highlight video I tear up so that's when you know the film makers did a wonderful job! It was great working with Don and he was always in communication with us. Also the two people that shot our wedding were great and very respectful. What I LOVED about them is that we didn't have to pose for shots so everything was candid and perfect.

They did a wonderful job and we couldn't be happier with the videos we got! Also when I contacted Don (it was six weeks before the wedding), he was really helpful and was willing to make it work for us. Other places were not so nice but ILC Films was so great to work with from start to finish!

Don and his gang were so professional throughout the whole process. They not only made wonderful ways for us to remember our happy day, but far exceeded our expectations with the quality and personal touches of the films produced.

The team at ILC Films are true cinematic masters of their craft. Their photojournalistic style captured the intimate moments of our Pi Day ceremony, behind the scenes shots that we would've never had the opportunity to witness and dance sequences from our fun reception.

Don and Hoang are fantastic. They hit the ground running as soon as they arrived (early) at the venue.

What I appreciate the most is Don's excellent communication skills, ILC's modern storytelling approach and the team's professional ability to work well with my photographer. It ensured that everything would go smoothly which resulted in a beautiful film that we will cherish forever. I'm not going to reveal how many times we've replayed the video....it's embarrassing...but that's how much we enjoy reliving our special day.

Post wedding, so many friends compliment and want to talk about our "freaking awesome wedding movie". Our guests were all impressed! ILC blew my expectations out of the water. I can not stress this enough: book them now before some other lucky bride beats you to it. Thank you, ILC Films, on your phenomenal work!
