Janae + Co Productions

  • 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!.”

I was getting 2–3k videographer quotes and honestly thought I’d have zero wedding footage… UNTIL I stumbled across this company. Affordable, simple, and truly so special. I now have memories of my parents, grandparents, and friends that I’ll treasure forever. I almost tried to DIY the whole thing, but realistically editing my own wedding footage would’ve taken me until our first anniversary. They made everything fun and effortless. Thank you SO much!

Hi! We are Kurt and Madeline Drummond. We are a husband and wife team who are hopeless romantics and love capturing other's love stories through film. We met on Tinder, yes you read that correctly. We are a Tinder success story. #WeSwipedRight. We just got married on June 5, 2021, so we know what it is like to be on both sides of the wedding scene. When we aren't editing wedding films we are snuggled up with our son Brooks and our dog Oliver watching a movie or bellied up to the bar at Texas Roadhouse. 😊

Awarded Best of Zola
Kurt & Madeline were the videographers for our wedding, and we couldn’t have asked for a better pair to shoot our day. They arrived early and were respectful, yet friendly, to everyone. They were knowledgeable about how a wedding day should run and what to shoot, including bringing a drone for beautiful video of our venue from above. We received our sneak peek and full video back within the the timelines they gave, and both videos were beautiful. I would highly recommend Proper Films, and if I were getting married all over again, I would choose them again in a heartbeat.

Wedding Weekender is redefining wedding video with a more authentic, accessible way to capture your celebration. We send camcorders for your friends and family to film candid moments across your wedding weekend — from getting ready to the dance floor and everything in between. 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 had the best experience with Wedding Weekender! It was worth every penny. They made every step of the process easy, the equipment itself was easy to use, and everybody had a blast at the wedding filming and being filmed. We are over the moon with how the video editing turned out as well! I am just amazed at how the WW team took only a couple of sentences of direction/suggestions and created such a beautiful, fun video that absolutely captured the vibe of the wedding day and the vibe of our relationship. I could watch it over and over again (and I do). BOOK THEM!!!!!

We had our edited highlight video within a week, which was huge since we wanted to share it with family right away.

I am a midwest filmmaker who specializes in weddings. My passion for filming weddings started with me documenting my own life and family events. I've fallen in love with genuine moments and preserving memories that can be relived in the future.

My husband and I had the best experience working with Ben. We had to postpone our celebration due to Covid in 2020 and Ben offered to film our very small ceremony then come film our big party in Sept of 2021! It was such a pleasure working with him and he made us feel so comfortable and was so accommodating through all the struggle. I was blown away by our videos. They are so fun, personal, and special to us. I love how the vibe of our video is very unique and catered to our relationship and personalities.

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.
