Wedding Weekender 
Rating: 5.0 (6 reviews)
  • Documentary style
  • Starts at $459
  • Serves Belle Plaine, IA

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.

Booking Wedding Weekender was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding weekend! We were able to capture all of our events along with so many fun, personal, and funny moments that we never would have gotten if our family and friends hadn’t had the camera in their hands. Our guests still talk about how much fun it was to pick up the camera, leave us messages as a couple, and capture moments they thought we would love. It made the experience so interactive and memorable for everyone. The company was incredibly easy to work with and created a wedding video that truly captured us and our day. We also absolutely love having all of the raw footage to go through and relive all those special moments. If you’re considering booking this company, don’t hesitate—it’s absolutely worth it, and they are amazing to work with!

Flower and oak were absolutely amazing. They showed up extremely early for our event and we had the highest premium package ordered for the day. We had a couple specific shoot ideas for THE GROOMSMEN and the minute I walked in the front door. I was greeted by both videographers With all kinds of cool camera gear and they told us exactly what to do and there was no time wasted. I highly recommend flower and oak to anyone looking at getting married soon. The one thing I don’t regret about our wedding day is using them because they were so great.

Jimmy will take your wedding video and turn it into the most beautiful story. The video he made for us just so beautifully captured my husband and I's day!

Hi, I'm Josh! I'm a wedding videographer from South Africa but have lived in Iowa since 2016. I'm a full-time commercial videographer, and on the weekends I create wedding films that show your love - as it is today, and as it will be tomorrow. Thanks for checking out Voigt Media, I hope you enjoy what you see, I would love to capture your love story!

Awarded Best of Zola
Speechless. The first word that comes to mind...not only when watching our beautiful wedding video but when thinking about Josh himself. He truly felt like family at our wedding which made me feel so relaxed and comfortable due to his genuine, personable nature. He took time before the wedding to get to know both me and my husband's story as well as asked questions regarding my husband's four boys that would be involved. I could tell he had listened so intently because he captured our family in such a perfect way. Our wedding would not have been the same without Josh. His video that he created told our story, showed the love and devotion between my husband and I, and all the fun in between with family and friends. I HIGHLY recommend Voigt Media to make your wedding an even more special day.

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.

Hi, my name is Anthony Hagen. I’m the owner and founder of Wedding Love Film. I don’t just shoot wedding videos; I craft stories. Together with each couple, we design a personalized narrative—almost like a storyboard—where we build their unique film. Whether it’s our DIY package, premium offering, or luxury production, I work closely with every couple to ensure the colors, sound, and tone are uniquely theirs. It means I aim to match your wedding’s color, tone, and mood—whether it’s cinematic, documentary, or something uniquely you.

Awarded Best of Zola
Anthony was easy to work with at the wedding. I was a DJ at the wedding I worked with him and from an artistic standpoint, what I saw of his work so far was great. Just like the rest of the vendors at this wedding, he went with the flow and went above and beyond to give the couple the best experience they could get especially under the crazy weather circumstances we had! Rain almost all day, thunderstorms, a tornado warning (it was an outdoor tent wedding) and some high winds that almost took out the tent! Despite that, he remained positive and fun. His needs from me were minimal (tapping into my sound system) and he made sure I wasn't busy when he asked me about it. If the rest of his work is as good as the little I've seen so far, you can't go wrong with his video service!

Paul Hairston Films 
Rating: 5.0 (3 reviews)
  • Storytelling style
  • Starts at $2,000
  • Serves Belle Plaine, IA

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.

Paul and his assistant were absolutely amazing. I actually found him when googling videographers in my area and LOVED all his work as I could tell he took true pride in his films and caught all the little details of the weddings he videoed. When setting up a meeting, I realized he actually lived 4 hours away from me... BUT that didn't stop him! He was willing to travel with his assistant for a VERY cheap price and was there the whole time. He actually asked ME if he could come earlier to ensure he got all the little details on camera and capture every minute of us getting ready, etc. He was quick to respond throughout the whole planning process prior to the big day as well. Paul was in school for cinematography at the time which is very evident in his work as you can tell that film is his true passion in life through his work. We had no idea he was even there and he stayed until the very end (little did I know) to ensure he captured everything on film. As most brides (and grooms) do, we put a LOT of planning into our big days and a lot of thought into every single little detail. Of course your own wedding day is such a blur you never even get to appreciate all your hard work... but thanks to Paul, I am able to see every little part of the wedding from the place settings to all the little signs we had everywhere. He did an amazing job capturing every moment and I love my highlight film. Thanks to him, I get to witness and relive what was my dream wedding over and over again... I knew I wanted to hire him when his highlight films of complete strangers brought me to tears! He is now videoing my brother's wedding and a family friends... So Yes.... I HIGHLY recommend him :)"

A fun, candid alternative to traditional wedding videography. Your favorite people capture the laughs, happy tears, behind-the-scenes moments, and dance floor chaos on easy-to-use camcorders, and we turn it all into the wedding home movie you’ll watch for years to come. Add a nostalgic touch with our 35mm camera rentals — perfect for candid guest photos, behind-the-scenes moments, and flash-filled memories that feel straight out of a family photo album.

We worked with YouFilm for our Las Vegas elopement and working with them was such a joy! It was such an easy process, and they were responsive and kind from start to finish. We received the camcorders quickly, and they came with great instructions on how to operate them and how the YouFilm process works. Our friends filmed the whole day, and we packed up the camcorders and sent them back to YouFilm. They also provided a link for us to upload any footage people might have taken on their phones, to supplement the camcorder video. The wedding video we got back from YouFilm is so special, I feel like it really captures the joy and silliness of the day. The camcorder footage gives the whole day a dreamy, nostalgic feel, and they did such a beautiful job editing and curating footage that really feels like us. They even included a social media edit, which was set to the music of our own Elvis officiant! Absolutely loved working with YouFilm, can't recommend them highly enough.

If I could give Chris more than 5 stars, I WOULD! He did such an amazing job at our wedding! Not only was he professional and punctual, but he went above and beyond! Helped me stay calm when we hit a couple bumps along the way, brought me water after the ceremony (I hadn’t realized I hadn’t drank any for awhile), made sure I had drinks throughout the night, but also made sure I ate before attending to my guests! He helped me take care of myself in the midst of the chaos! My husband and I read our vows privately before the ceremony and Chris already sent that over and I have cried so many times watching it already because he captured the moment perfectly!
