Welcome to Jaymes Media
Cinematic wedding films for Chicago couples saying "I do" on Michigan's stunning lakeshore.
For Chicago Couples
Every year, hundreds of Chicago couples cross the lake for their wedding day — drawn by Southwest Michigan's vineyard estates, lakefront sunsets, and charming small-town energy. From Harbor Shores to Blue Dress Barn, these venues offer something the city can't: open skies, golden light, and a pace that lets you actually breathe on the biggest day of your life.
As a Michigan-based filmmaker, I know these venues intimately — the best angles, the golden hour timing, the hidden spots your coordinator doesn't even know about. You get a videographer who's not just visiting — I'm local.

The Founder
I started Jaymes Media in 2021 with a simple conviction: your wedding film should make you feel something profound every single time you press play. Based in Metro Detroit, I serve couples across Southwest Michigan, Chicago, and the entire Midwest — bringing cinematic storytelling to every celebration.
With over 77 weddings filmed across Michigan — from lakefront ceremonies in St. Joseph to vineyard celebrations in Baroda and barn weddings in Benton Harbor — I've learned that the most powerful moments are often the quietest ones. A father's trembling hands, a best friend's knowing glance, the way Lake Michigan light catches a tear at just the right moment.
When I'm not behind the camera, you'll find me with a good cup of coffee, staying active, or dreaming up my next creative project.
