Filipino weddings in Chicago are some of the most beautiful celebrations we film: ceremonies rich with tradition, families that celebrate like nobody else, and receptions full of music and joy. Chicago’s large Filipino community celebrates across the city’s churches, hotels, and banquet halls, and we have been honored to film many of these weddings over the years.

Filming Filipino Wedding Traditions

Filipino ceremonies carry moments that deserve a filmmaker who knows they are coming: the veil and cord placed by the sponsors, the arras coins passing between the couple, the unity candle, and the ninong and ninang standing witness. At the reception, the money dance fills the floor with family. We film these traditions with respect and anticipation, because the most meaningful frames come from knowing the moment before it happens. The film below captures a full traditional Filipino ceremony from beginning to end.
