“You so expertly captured the emotion and joy that not only we felt but that we saw in our friends and family. Blair obviously cried and I found myself wanting to rewatch it again and again.”
— Paco, the Groom

Blair and Paco met and fell in love in Nashville, but now live out of state. Their wedding here felt like more than just a celebration of their love, but also a destination wedding, a friend reunion, and a celebration of all the people they have in their life. The music, food and scenery were so special. It was easy to capture the joy, love and emotion because everyone was having a blast.

Abe and Isaac are pioneers. They are uniquely focused on creating a world that’s more whole, inclusive, and full of light.. I filmed their wedding in 2016 and have been able to do a documentary style anniversary video each year for them. Thumbnail photo by Cedar and Pines.

“Orion. This is deeply beautiful. Lordy can you tell a story. Bravo. :) I’m grateful: this is a gift, and we feel it.”

Such a fun couple. Liz and Jake are loved by so many and know how to have-a-good-time. Trolleying around the city was a highlight. Chicago is my home-town, so it was fun to soak in a day and capture a bit of it's magic. Also enjoyed meeting and working alongside the photographer, Azuree. She is very cool and her work is great: http://xoazuree.com If you're interested in me filming your wedding, reach out! I'd love to connect. http://www.orionpahl.com/wedding/

Liz and Jake are such a kind, joy-filled, and fun couple.  Jake is a friend to all and always smiling. Liz spent 30 minutes giving compliments to her friends/co-workers that night AT HER OWN WEDDING! I instantly felt comfortable with them and had a blast trolleying around Chicago documenting the good times. I filmed this wedding highlight video solo, but enjoyed working alongside Azuree, a talented Chicago-based photographer. 

“This video is beyond anything we could have hoped for. We loved having you along with us on our big day. You added so much positivity and fun. 💯”
— Liz
 
 

Steve and CarriAnne were the first engaged couple I sat down with in 2015 to talk about capturing their 2016 wedding. Since that first meeting, we've seen each other around town a few times (Nashville) and have become friends. Their wedding day was gorgeous, fun, and one of my favorites of 2016.

“This is truly amazing. I am so in love with it and so is Steven. Thank you so much for capturing this day in all of its glory.”
— CarriAnne
 

I went to high school with Charli and so when she asked me to come up to Chicago to shoot her wedding day, of course I said yes! Her spirit is unique: so full of life; and Dan's steady, calm, and grounded personality is the perfect match for her. Congrats Charli and Dan!

“Well I’m crying!!!!! Love it, Orion. Thank you so much! You’re so talented! A+”
— Charli, the bride
 

Kyle and Jessica are FULL-OF-LIFE! The whole time I was shooting and editing I had a smile on my face. Their joy is contagious. Seriously. Just watch them in the video and let your smile take over. And yes, all those exclamation points are a direct quote from a message from Kyle. They live and love big and I'm glad they chose me help to capture their wedding day.

“Jess and I are so thankful for you man! The video turned out perfect!!! Jess was so pleased with every bit of it!!! THANK YOU!!!”
— Kyle, the groom
