Chinese weddings in Chicago blend meaningful tradition with modern celebration, and we’ve been honored to film both the intimate family rituals and the citywide portrait sessions that make these weddings so visually rich.

A Chinese Wedding Film

Watch Loriann & Ryan’s celebration: a traditional tea ceremony in the Hall of Lions at the InterContinental Chicago, a horse-drawn carriage ride down Michigan Avenue, and a ceremony arch adorned with origami paper cranes representing the Chinese Valentine’s Day “bird bridge” legend.

Filming Chinese Wedding Traditions

A Chinese tea ceremony carries moments that deserve a filmmaker who knows they’re coming: the couple serving tea to parents and elders as a sign of respect and gratitude, the symbolism woven into the decor, and the quiet formality that contrasts with the celebration to follow. We film these traditions with the same care and anticipation we bring to any sacred moment.

A Second Celebration We’ve Filmed

Cici & Vincent’s wedding at the Art Institute of Chicago brought together modern architecture and cinematic detail, from a Griffin Court ceremony to a fireworks finale on the Nichols Bridgeway.
