Wedding Weekender

  • Serves Saint Elmo, IL

Wedding Weekender is redefining wedding video with a more authentic, accessible way to capture your celebration. We send camcorders for your friends and family to film candid moments across your wedding weekend — from getting ready to the dance floor and everything in between. Afterward, our editing team shapes that footage into a thoughtful, nostalgic wedding video that feels true to your celebrations. We believe meaningful wedding video should feel personal, accessible, and rooted in real moments.

Where do I start with Wedding Weekender… if you’re looking for a camcorder for your wedding/event and to capture all the silly, raw, fun, beautiful moments, Wedding Weekender IS IT. My maid of honors surprised us with this gift and the WW team was so helpful from the beginning. Our friend knew exactly what to do with the camera, it was small and compact, and people even felt comfortable passing it around to get different POVs. We shipped it back and what we got 2 months later was beyond our wildest dreams. They made it everything we wanted: nostalgic, fun, loving, and such a perfect snapshot of our weekend. I even had 2 small edits after they delivered the video and they had it back to us right away. The team processing and editing these videos truly have a magic touch. This was priceless and we can’t wait to relive our wedding through this video forever and ever. Thank you for being a part of our special day!

Brent is considered one of the top wedding cinematographers based out of the Northeastern USA. He frequently travels the globe, documenting weddings for couples who deserve the best of the best. After growing up in Central Jersey, Brent chose to move down to Nashville for college and then shortly after graduation, officially founded 550Park out of New York City. He is a passionate tennis player, chef, and world adventurer.

Awarded Best of Zola
Brent's work jumped out at me before I even met him as something special, and his professionalism and experience shone through in our interactions with 550Park all the way through. He was so easy to work with and really helped put us both at ease (not the easiest task!) as well as taking the time to get to know us and what we wanted. He did a truly wonderful job capturing our outdoor wedding. His work is natural not just in how he works with the natural surroundings and lighting, but also in capturing so many great candid moments of us for our film. He even took the time to sit down and interview our family and friends to film sentimental clips of them sharing heartfelt stories about us and wishing us the best, (especially on such a busy day when we didn't get to spend tons of time individually with all of our loved ones) we can hear what they would have liked to say to us on our wedding day, lol. When we look at the films he created for us, we are instantly swept up in re-living that day. I would wholeheartedly recommend Brent to anyone looking for an excellent luxury videographer!

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!!!!

Hi I’m Anthony! I’ve had a camera in my hands since I was 14 - what started as a teenage curiosity quickly grew into a lifelong passion for storytelling. Over the years, I’ve taught myself everything I know about filmmaking, and after filming my first wedding five years ago, I knew I had found my purpose. There’s something truly special about capturing the emotion, laughter, and small, unspoken moments that make a wedding day unforgettable. It’s an honor every single time I get to help couples preserve that feeling forever

Anthony captured ALL of our favorite moments during our wedding. He was very attentive and even helped guide us during certain moments when taking photos. I have recommended him to many friends and they all love him and his work!!
