We've filmed weddings in Europe, Southeast Asia, Tennessee, Minnesota, Nebraska, Illinois, Missouri, and of course all over Iowa! We'd love to do more weddings in places such as Las Vegas, Hawaii, California, New York, Florida, Utah, Colorado, Bali, India, Mexico and where ever else couples would love to take us!

Do you charge for travel?If you are getting married within the state of Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, Missouri or Illinois! We do not have any travel fees! If you are getting married outside of the states mentioned earlier. We would love to work out travel costs with you, and see if we're still in alignment with your wedding day trajectory!
-
Am I required to feed the videographers?Yes! All of our couples love taking care of their vendors just as much as the vendors are taking care of their couples! Having food provided during the reception is a necessity for happy relationships haha.
-
Do you have any hidden/unique costs?NOPE! We are fully transparent with what we charge in our contract agreements. If you have any questions at all about your contract. We will make sure to address it promptly!
-
How do you film weddings?With our videography style, we don't have to do a whole lot of planning because we shoot 99% candidly. We rely on the photographer and/or wedding planner timelines. Since we're working super closely with the photographer, they typically will have a shot list that we work around and we'll incorporate our own ideas throughout the day! We do this to not overcomplicate the planned events of the day and to also make sure our creative counterparts aren't more stressed than they might already be haha! We work extremely well alongside other wedding vendors with our style of filming. We are creating behind the scenes YouTube videos of different weddings we're at to give audible and visual context on how we work the day of. By watching our social media content on Instagram and Facebook. You'll notice that we are very laid back. We are very type B personalities which sounds bad, but this makes for an extremely easy going & relaxing time for everyone involved! Although we are very go with the flow personalities, we make sure to capture everything you're looking to have and so much more because we've filmed many weddings over the last decade. It's practically in our DNA to know where and when to be before moments even happen.
-
What about picking music for my highlight video?Due to lawsuits and strict commercial copyright laws, music for your wedding highlight video must be chosen from the music licensing websites that we are subscribed to. These websites license music for us to avoid any copyright lawsuits for ALL parties involved. Here are the music licensing websites we use! These songs are meant for just the edited highlight video. You can play whatever you want on your wedding day no problems!
-
Will there be a second videographer or team of videographers?We can add additional filmmakers if you have room to do so for your special day!
-
How do we deliver your videos?We'll upload all your video files to a wedding USB flash drive and ship it out to your home address! We also deliver your files online as well.
-
How much do you charge?We are a fully customized videography service and would need to discuss the needs of the wedding day to determine what will be needed to accomplish the goals of each couple. All it takes is less than 30 seconds to miss shots, have a poor quality videography experience, and potentially a ruined wedding day hiring the wrong wedding professionals. You don't want to hire just any wedding videographer for your day because we all come with different standards, morals, characteristics, values, styles, and so much more. Yes, we are an expensive service to most people, but the quality and service we provide delivers results to match the investment & exclusivity to each couple's wedding day. Please don't let the investment tag stop you from inquiring with us as we do want you to be informed on what it takes to hire the right wedding videographer for your day. We've got a solid recommendations list for couples who are adamant on sticking to their original budgets due to prioritizing other vendors/wedding day experiences as well who have specifically shadowed with us at wedding days. This way you can walk away with solid knowledge on what to expect and to make sure you have a quality vendor team for your big celebration.
-
Do we film destination weddings?Yes! We'd love to chat about your destination wedding plans! If we're in alignment, we'd love to film your beautiful union anywhere in the world.
-
Can you create & send CDs / DVDs?We do not create or send CDs/DVDs, but instead we send your footage in a USB flash drive alongside other goodies in the mail. Once you've received the footage, we recommend couples to go to a local Walgreens, Walmart, online service, etc. to create custom CDs/DVDs. If you prefer, you can also copy files onto multiple USB drives from your computer to give to family and friends that way as well! Lastly, we also offer additional USB copies for purchase too.
CHECK OUR AVAILABILITY FOR YOUR DAY
Inquire Today
It’s NOT the price, or even what’s offered in each package...
THIS is the most important question you need to ask your wedding videographer: “Are you available on my wedding date?”
Because we love to get things done and quickly! Please inquire today to confirm with us if your wedding date is available and to just discuss what wedding videography can actually do on your wedding day!
BIG NOTE: At no point are you required to buy anything after booking a videography consultation with us. We simply want to get to know y'all, chat a bit about videography, and see if our trajectories are aligned haha!
P.S. - If availability is open for your wedding day. We still may not have the same goals in mind but that's okay! The point of the Zoom call is to learn about each other, and to help you find the right videographer that aligns with your celebration. We want you to have the best time with the right vendors.
