Awarded Best of Zola
“We hired IG PHOTO VIDEO for both photography and videography for our wedding, and we are so happy with everything. What stood out most was how well the photo and video team worked together. They were on time, calm, and organized, but never made the day feel like a production. Before the wedding, they asked about our inspiration photos, important family moments, and the style we wanted, then helped us shape the timeline around the best light and the key parts of the day. During the wedding, they gave us clear direction for portraits, fixed small details like the dress and veil, and kept family photos moving quickly. The video team captured our vows, speeches, first dance, and all the little candid moments without being distracting. Our photos came out bright, natural, and elegant. The video feels cinematic but still very personal — not overdone, just emotional and real. We love that we have both beautiful images and a film that brings the whole day back. We would absolutely recommend IG PHOTO VIDEO to couples looking for a reliable photo and video team.”

Awarded Best of Zola
“Our experience with Old North Film was exceptional from start to finish. When we first watched our anniversary film, we were speechless. It wasn't just a highlight video. It was a beautifully crafted story that allowed us to relive one of the most meaningful days of our lives. They captured the emotion so perfectly that we found ourselves laughing, smiling, and tearing up all over again. What impressed us most was their ability to preserve the moments we didn't even realize were happening. The quiet glances, the reactions of our family and friends, the heartfelt vows, and all of the little in-between moments were captured so naturally and edited together with incredible creativity. The pacing, music selection, transitions, and overall cinematic quality were outstanding. Throughout the event, the team was professional, friendly, and unobtrusive. They blended into the background while somehow managing to capture every important moment without ever making us feel like we were performing for a camera. Our film is more than a video. It's a family heirloom that we'll watch for years to come. That is an incredible gift, and we're so grateful to Old North Film for creating it. If you're looking for a videography team that is talented, artistic, and truly understands how to tell a love story, I cannot recommend Old North Film enough. They exceeded every expectation and delivered something far beyond what we imagined. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to relive our celebration every single time we press play.”

Feedback Love Films was built from real wedding experience, not styled shoots or staged moments. After more than six years as a wedding photographer through Roman Lorek Photography, I began offering films to my couples and learned storytelling in real wedding environments. My approach is natural, cinematic, and emotion-driven with a focus on authentic moments over overproduction. Outside of weddings, I also shoot concert photography, which continues to influence the energy and movement in my work.

“Roman Lorek is an absolute professional and a pleasure to work with. Whether he’s shooting a music video or capturing a live performance, he comes prepared with professional grade gear, a great eye, and a real understanding of how to capture the energy of the music. What really stands out is his enthusiasm. Roman genuinely gets excited about the shoot and brings creative ideas and great energy to the entire process. He’s reliable, easy to work with, and clearly takes pride in getting the best footage possible. I’d highly recommend Roman to any band or artist looking for high-quality video work, whether it’s a full production music video or live concert footage. We’ll definitely be working with him again.”

Hi, I'm Lexi! I started Gott You Media because I've always been the friend with the camera, drawn to capturing the in-between moments that end up meaning the most. I'm not a traditional videographer. I'm your behind-the-scenes content creator, capturing all the raw, candid, real moments of your day and turning them into reels, TikToks, and clips you'll actually want to post. You'll have all your raw footage by the next morning and a polished recap reel within the week. More than just your content team, I'm by your side the whole day, hyping you up, calming nerves, and making sure you're fully present for every moment.

“We hired Lexi to capture our daughter's wedding and she was absolutely incredible. Her communication leading up to the day was so easy and responsive, we never had to worry about a thing. At the wedding she blended right in, had the whole family laughing and hyping up the bride before the ceremony, and we barely noticed she was there during the important moments. By the next morning we had all the raw footage on our phones, which was amazing. Then a few days later she sent us this recap reel that had our entire family in tears. We've probably watched it 50 times already. She genuinely cares about making your day special and it shows in everything she does. Worth every penny.”

My background is in Creative/Conceptual, Fashion and Commercial work. I have over 7yrs of Video experience and 12yrs Photography experience. I bring a lot of technical, fundamental, and creativity into my work. Minimalist at heart. I like to think you can see me in my work.

“My wife and I had the pleasure of working with Irv for our wedding, and we cannot express how thrilled we are with the results! Irv not only met but exceeded our expectations, and we couldn't be more grateful. He managed to capture the essence of our love story in a way that was uniquely "us." We have received countless compliments from friends and family on the video. We highly recommend Irv to any couple looking for a wedding videographer who goes above and beyond to make your day unforgettable. Thank you, Irv, for giving us a beautiful treasure that we'll cherish for a lifetime. We are so grateful for your talent and dedication in making our wedding day a true work of art. With heartfelt thanks, Anthony”
