Your Travel-loving wedding videographer based in chicago, illinois
I'm an eccentric non-binary lesbian who is devoted to empowering underrepresented people, especially those who are breaking the social scripts of what a wedding is “supposed” to be.
I'm all about centering YOUR needs and YOUR joy in the wedding planning process. I'll craft a wedding film that feels right to you, while enthusiastically cheering you on the whole time. Your wedding video will capture your true essence, actually FEEL like you, and preserve the memory of your life, community, and values.
You should feel safe, seen, and affirmed on your wedding day.

The Replogle Experience
Affirmation at every turn.
Authentic portrayals of you and your partner.
Affection centered around consent.
I’m not just a bomb-ass videographer, I’m also a great hype man. Being filmed is a vulnerable experience, and that is something I keep in mind with every client I work with. My affirmations are specific, and always genuine.
I’ll never ask you to betray yourself with inauthentic poses or actions. As a non-binary person, gendered poses have always felt smothering to me, so it matters to me that there is room to breathe.
You and your partner will have full freedom to choose the level of spiciness that you feel comfortable displaying on camera. You’ll never hear pressure from me to do something you don’t want to.

This Shit Matters:
"Ray has become a lifelong friend and every step of their client experience felt personalized, true to us, and was obviously crafted with expertise and care. They went so far above and beyond for us, I feel a little silly that we ever considered booking anyone else for our wedding videography. Anyone (but LGBTQ+ people especially) would be lucky to have Ray capturing their wedding memories."
Jenni & Ali
"As a queer couple, it’s priceless to have that kind of support and empowerment from your vendor team."
"On the wedding day, Ray helped keep everything running smoothly while making the experience fun and stress-free. They traveled all over Chicago with us to capture incredible footage and kept the energy high the entire day. Our final video captured the big moments as well as the little candid memories and emotions that made the day so special. We couldn't be happier with the result and wholeheartedly recommend Replogle Studios!"
JASON AND SHELBY
"We cannot recommend Replogle Studios highly enough! Ray was an absolute pleasure to work with, and our wedding video exceeded every expectation."
"We were cracking jokes all day, getting all the footage, and the next thing I knew, Ray was partying on the dance floor with our guests, continuing to elevate the vibe! It was also incredibly helpful that Ray, and our photographer, Tawny Ballard, had experience working together, which made the day so much more seamless. Word of advice, hire vendors who you would want to be friends with!"
AMANDA AND MAL
"Ray is hilarious, professional, and just all around a delightful human being."
"Cannot recommend Ray enough. The energy, enthusiasm, engagement were all off the charts. We had a pretty fun, rowdy group for our NYE wedding, and Ray was the perfect videographer for us. They made suggestions/gave feedback the perfect amount--enough to be engaged but not pushy. One of the reasons our wedding was so special was the vendors we chose, and Ray is at the top of that list."
Sean and Bridget
"They were very active, getting tons of different angles + shots, somehow everywhere without being in the way."
"From our very first call, Ray was so friendly and professional. They were happy to work with some of our special requests, and were highly communicative and helpful throughout the entire process. On the day, Ray brought such fun energy - they were great to work with, and our families commented several times how much they loved our videographer!"
Dahazee and Skyler
"We were looking for someone to do a longer-form video with the entire ceremony, speeches, the whole shebang. It was surprisingly difficult to find!"
Ready for a joyful + affirming experience?!
