Wedding Videographer based in Southern Illinois

Films loved today, cherished for a lifetime

Your love story is unique and your wedding film should be too. 

I like to capture weddings with more of a hands-off approach, allowing the love and emotions to unfold naturally. My goal is to create real, story-driven wedding films that you will look back on in 10 years and still be in love with. 

I want you to remember what it was like on your wedding day. Romanticizing all the small moments and all of the real moments from your day is what I do best.

  • “We truly cannot recommend Emma enough for wedding videography. One of the most important things to me was finding a videographer who would film the entire wedding ceremony, and that’s what first caught my attention about Emma Mae Films. After speaking with Emma, her personality completely sold me. She was kind, organized, and so easy to work with. On our wedding day, she blended in seamlessly while still capturing every important moment.

    —Marli + Zach

  • “Emma from Emma Mae Films created the most beautiful wedding video we could ever ask for. She was kind, patient and we barely noticed her filming throughout the day. Emma managed to capture the whole vibe of the day, all the emotion and all the dancefloor antics, and the final product was edited perfectly. Watching it back was emotional but with so many laughs!”
