Chicago – Costa Rica Four Seasons Destination Wedding Film
Featured on Grace Ormonde Wedding Style






A reality-tv style wedding film starring former Miss Illinois 2011, Angela Sparrow and Justin Rakestraw. Film created by Loudbyte Cinematography.
This film is a new direction for us. Its dialogue based scenes feel more like a TV series rather than a classic wedding highlight.
We would like to thank the following people for helping us make this film..

By the time you have finished reading this review of Loudbyte Cinematography, you will have waited too long to try to book them (they book fast so *try* is a key word here)! We were absolutely blown away by Loudbyte. I seriously feel like our wedding film should be submitted to Sundance. It’s that good.
The artistry of the film is incredible: each shot is so stunning and there are shots that are literally breathtaking. The editing is *seamless*: they captured and distilled the day down to its most beautiful, poignant essence. The music selections are simply perfect – a combination of songs we chose, their expert selections and *perfect quality* recordings of our band, toasts, and ceremony officiants—all seamlessly blended together and elegantly overlaid on footage of the day. This is the best long-term investment you can make in your wedding – you will treasure this forever and Loudbyte will capture your memories at their finest, most stunning, moving, sensational form.
Steve and Ton Essa are a pleasure to work with. They are an excellent team and true artists. Trust their judgment! We heeded all of their advice in terms of microphones/sound, number of cameras, filming hours, “private shoot”, et al and could not be happier with the final product.

Steve and Ton-Essa are AMAZING! LOVE THEM and THEIR WORK! I am so grateful we found them and they were available to film our wedding! Our movie is spectacular! You two captured every single highlight of the day and then some! I am so impressed and so is my family! They all have said they’ve never seen anything like it! It’s something I will cherish forever. Thank you so much for capturing the entire day and making it our own special movie!

Every time I see my wedding film, I can’t help but feel a bit teary eyed which goes to show how great of a job Steve & Ton-Essa did. Unlike many cheesy videos I’ve seen online, Loudbyte was able to capture all our most memorable moments with an artistic eye, beautiful shots and humor that is still true to our personalities. Every bride will tell you that their wedding day went by too quickly, I have to agree but at the same time I am so grateful that I can relive those moments again by watching our film.
