Affordable, photo + video bundled — one team, one vision. 15 years of documentary-style coverage across Chicago and the suburbs.
Most Chicago couples book a wedding photographer and videographer separately — two vendors, two contracts, two timelines, two meals, two points of coordination. When something shifts on the day, everyone scrambles to sync.
Red Barn solves this with a single team that captures both. Our photo and video workflow is built around the same timeline, the same creative direction, and the same documentary approach. The result is a cohesive aesthetic across every image and every frame of film — and a wedding day that runs smoother.

Want to go deeper on what's included in each service? Wedding Photography and Wedding Cinematography cover the full approach, style, and deliverables.
Two clear options — photo only, or the full photo + video bundle.
Documentary wedding photography — one cohesive team, full day coverage, hand-edited gallery.
One team for both photo and video — cohesive aesthetic, bundle pricing, no double-booking friction.
We believe affordable wedding photography in Chicago shouldn't mean compromising on quality. Fifteen years of documentary work means a faster, calmer, more efficient team — and a smaller overhead that we pass directly to our couples.
Across both packages, the documentary style is identical. Only coverage scope changes. An affordable Chicago wedding videographer shouldn't mean a different creative approach — just a different day length.
No hidden fees, no upsell pressure, no surprises on your invoice. The price you see is the price you book.
