Janae + Co Productions 
Rating: 5.0 (2 reviews)
  • Classic style
  • Serves Ames, IA

Hi there! My name is Janae Erickson, I’m the owner and founder of Janae + Co Productions. I have carefully selected a team to help me accomplish the truly beautiful work that we produce. My favorite thing about my job is capturing special moments that won't ever happen again. It's such an amazing feeling every time I look back at everything I captured & how beautiful it turns out. I'm constantly learning & improving and it is so so so rewarding.

“We were on the fence about hiring a videographer for our wedding. Weddings are expensive, and at first it seemed like another huge expense we could live without. Due to COVID, there were a few people who were not able to attend our wedding, so we decided to go for it to share it with them. After seeing our final highlight video, I am absolutely blown away. These ladies are so talented, easy to work with, and exceeded my expectations ten-fold. Reliving your day in video- seeing the smiles, hearing the words, is just something so special. Don’t second guess it- get the videographer. You will not regret it! I would recommend this team again and again!.”

Imagine your wedding filmed by the people who know you best - your friends and family. With Press Record Co, we ship you our camcorders to capture every laugh, tear, and dance move, then you simply send it back to us to do the heavy lifting. We'll turn all your raw footage into a beautiful, nostalgic Modern Day Home Video® you'll actually love to rewatch. It's raw, real, and totally you.

Awarded Best of Zola
I cannot recommend PressRecord enough! From start to finish, the entire process was incredibly easy and completely stress-free. The camcorders were simple for our guests to use, and everything was clearly explained, making the whole experience foolproof. What truly impressed me was their customer service. They were unbelievably kind and responded to every email so quickly. They even re-edited our wedding film **twice** to make sure it was exactly what we envisioned, and they happily searched through all of the footage to include very specific moments that were important to us. The most meaningful thing they did was incorporate a photo I sent them of our memorial table honoring my mom and my husband's grandparents who had passed away. Including that tribute in our wedding video meant more to us than I can express, and I'm so grateful they took the time to make it happen. Our final 5-minute home video feels so personal and captures the heart of our wedding day perfectly. If you're considering PressRecord, do it—you'll not only end up with an amazing keepsake, but you'll also be working with a team that genuinely cares about preserving what matters most.

We communicated throughout the entire day that we worked together, and helped each other get the best coverage for our bride and groom! I would definitely work with her again!

Wedding Weekender is redefining wedding video with a more authentic, accessible way to capture your celebration.

Afterward, our editing team shapes that footage into a thoughtful, nostalgic wedding video that feels true to your celebrations. We believe meaningful wedding video should feel personal, accessible, and rooted in real moments.

We could not be happier with Wedding Weekender after receiving our wedding video back.

It was personal and heartwarming and the best recap of our special day that we will watch over and over for years to come.

Paul Hairston is an award winning and nation-wide wedding, documentary and commercial filmmaker for over 13 years. He loves anything and everything about human storytelling and creating impact through the medium of film. He strives to capture your special day with earnestness, trust and top shelf visuals. Throughout his career he has worked to blend vérité filmmaking with a production value those stories and emotions deserve, while never getting in your way. Providing painterly and elegant coverage with an unobtrusive but attentive presence that documents every unique detail is Paul’s goal with every film.

We had such an excellent experience with Paul on our wedding day! He was so communicative leading up to the day, as well as the actual wedding day. He was friendly, professional, punctual and worked so well alongside our photographer for the day, filming all of the lovely moments we may have otherwise missed (dance floor, cocktail hour, etc). He also filmed our first look, which was one of the moments that I most wanted to have on film, and made it such a fun experience. We watch our video every year on our wedding anniversary (it's been almost 13 years!), and we look back so fondly on that day because of the sweet moments that Paul captured - and have also shown it to our kids, who love to watch it over and over again. We highly recommend Paul to also capture your wedding day!

We believe the best wedding films come from real connection — not stiff posing or overly staged moments. Our approach is calm, intentional, and story-driven, allowing couples to stay fully present while we quietly capture the atmosphere, energy, and meaningful moments of the day.

These videographers are outstanding! Words can't describe how much Lev and Nina made our wedding everything I wanted and more. Planning a wedding during covid has been very challenging and my venues and vendors have been cancelling left and right. I changed my wedding plans to 3 completely different location in Washington because of covid. Every time I had a hardship with the wedding and a change of plans, Nina and Lev have been the easiest and most understanding and compassionate individuals that helped me navigate the next steps because I did not want to post pone. They never once made me feel stressed with having things constantly change. Nina and Lev also put %150 into this project! I also would recommend adding the pre video because it gave me a chance to get to know Nina and Lev and become friends prior to the wedding so that I felt like they were good friends surrounded by us on our important day! Not just videographers!! There is a huge difference in their quality of video compared to any other I researched !

The Weekend Tape is a wedding videographer alternative for couples who want a nostalgic, guest-filmed wedding video without adding another production crew to the room. We send you a real handheld camcorder kit before your wedding, your guests film the celebration from their point of view, and we edit the footage into a candid home-movie style film filled with the moments you may have missed. It’s part wedding camcorder rental, part edited nostalgic wedding film — simple, personal, and full of real memories from your people.

What stood out most was watching guests immediately connect with the camcorder. It didn’t feel staged, awkward, or intrusive. It felt natural, nostalgic, and genuinely fun. People passed it around, laughed, recorded little moments, and captured pieces of the day that a couple may never have seen otherwise. It's a great way for couples to remember their wedding weekend without adding a huge production or breaking the budget, The Weekend Tape is absolutely worth booking.
