Chicago Wedding Videographer
For Couples Who Want To Feel Like Stars In Their Chicago Wedding Film
Now Reserving for 2027
AS SEEN ON
A Second Home,
Not a Destination
For the past 2 years, I have split my time between Chicago & Baltimore, so this isn’t a market I fly into once and leave.
Chicago couples get the same big screen treatment I bring to 250+ weddings, with no destination surcharge and no unfamiliarity with the city.
I know the light on the lakefront changes fast and I show up already knowing the city instead of learning it on your wedding day.
And a Day That Only Happens Once
You’ve probably already pictured it. The room when your dad sees you for the first time. Your best friend’s face during the dress reveal. The skyline right as the light turns gold. The lakefront at night.
That’s the thing about a wedding day. It moves fast, and most of it you won’t actually get to see, not because you weren’t there, but because you were living it instead of watching it.
A wedding film hands the day back to you later, when you actually have time to feel it. Not a highlight reel you scroll past once, something you and your family sit down and rewatch.
Baltimore wedding videographer
I’m Nate Templeton
I’ve filmed over 250 weddings across Chicago, Baltimore & D.C. over the past 8 years, shooting on dual-card Sony Cinema Line cameras so every moment is captured with backup gear rolling.
Chicago is where I spend roughly half my time, so when I’m on your wedding day, I’m not a visiting vendor, I’m living & working in a city I also call home.
In addition being in love with the city of Chicago, I love the architecture, the food and capturing love stories across the Chicagoland area.

A Traveling Chicago Videographer
I spend about half the year in Chicago, so Chicago couples never pay a destination surcharge most other traveling videographers charge.
But destination weddings are actually what I’m most known for in the industry & it’s where Templeton Image has built it’s name.
I have been flown out for engagements & ceremonies in Paris, Costa Rica, St. Lucia, Cancun, Cabo, Punta Cana, and all over the United States, while having accrued 40,000 miles in 2025.

Your Path to a Timeless CHICAGO Film
After inquiring, I’ll send you a sample payment plan & pricing guide to look through all of your options as we schedule a quick 15-minute Zoom to discuss your needs to give us a chance to meet one another.
Once the retainer is made & contract is signed, we start planning for your potential upcoming engagement session in the Chicagoland area as I assist you with location planning, wardrobe & hair/make-up recommendations.
On the day of the wedding, you can relax knowing I will arrive early and I will take care of all the posing & directing so you two can focus on each other and the love that you share.
“Omg I love it!! This is amazing!! You even made Nate shed a tear!”
