Phil - Videographer
Phil is a self-taught videographer and photographer hailing from the northwest suburbs of Chicago. He started filming his friends bands when he was in high school and was quickly recruited to work on film crews shooting at venues like The House of Blues and The Cubby Bear Wrigleyville in Chicago. After gaining experience in shooting live performance, Phil was approached to join an event team shooting corporate conferences and events. From there, he went on to shooting weddings, refining and perfecting his craft over the last couple of years shooting multiple weddings weekly. When he is not shooting, Phil enjoys spending time with his family and playing sports with his son. His hobbies include hiking and astro-photography.

"I just wanted to touch base with you really quick about Phil Hosticka, who was the videographer for our wedding on November 1, 2014. I have to tell you, he was incredible! From the moment he walked in the door, he was so friendly, fun, and put everyone at ease. Everyone loved him and was very happy to work with him. The video he put together for us was wonderful. The highlight reel is honestly one of the best I have ever seen. I really love his style and we were beyond pleased. I’ve had so many people comment about what a great job he did and how much they loved the video. Many said it was the best they had ever seen as well!"

"Phil was great! He was amazing to work with. He was funny and personable. He really made everyone feel comfortable. He had some really good ideas for filming. He also stayed later than he was contracted for, because the ceremony started late and pictures ran later, in order to film our first dance and part of the reception. Even my photographer, who is a friend of mine, commented on how easy he was to work with. Our video turned out great! I'm so happy with how everything turned out and I'm glad that I have those memories to look back on."

"After countless hours of research for a videographer that fit both our style and our budget, we finally came across I Do Video by Leo and we never looked back. Leo was not available for our wedding day but he works with several other great videographers and matches you with someone based on what you are looking for. He matched us with Phil Hosticka who did the most incredible job! After our initial phone call with Phil to discuss details our wedding details, we knew we were going to really like working with him. He was extremely friendly and personable and we had a great time with him on our wedding day. He was easily one of the best vendors we had worked with. Our highlight video turned out amazing and he was able to capture all of the emotion and fun of the day in a 10 minute video. We have received so many compliments on it already and we are so excited to watch our DVD once it arrives. I highly recommend I Do Video by Leo and Phil Hosticka!"
