The Best Wedding Videographers in Thornton, IL

We offer a personalized experience backed up by more than 33+ years in business delivering high quality, creative photography and video on time and within your wedding budget. We are experts in photojournalism, offering couples an unmatched level of value for their wedding photography and video services.

Hey there! I'm Fernando Ávila. I founded Ellyce Wedding Films while my wife and I were planning our wedding in 2019. By this point, I had already accumulated 15+ years of experience shooting wedding videos and my wife felt I could be a breath of fresh air for couples in a highly saturated market. She encouraged me and I founded the company in 2020. Because love inspires, love changes everything, I named my company after my love, Ebony Ellyce Ávila.
