Hi! My name is Ashley Archer, also known as 29 Films! I love sharing and capturing these big life moments in a way that keeps them fresh in our minds.

𝕄𝕖𝕖𝕥 𝕥𝕙𝕖 𝕄𝕒𝕤𝕥𝕖𝕣𝕤𝕠𝕟𝕤: 1. We LOVE our pets! Currently our home is filled with 3 cats, 1 dog and a turtle. The turtle was a wedding gift haha. 2. We love visiting National Parks. We typically took at least a week long camping trip to a park every year. We did miss last year due to a newborn baby and our plans to go to Acadia this year got axed (thanks COVID). But we will get back out there soon!

“If you want to relive your wedding day every time you watch your video, choose Masterson! We loved working with Masterson so much!! Leading up to our wedding day, Aaron and Deborah met and chatted with us to figure out what style of videographer we were looking for (we weren't really sure so they did a great job figuring that out with us) and what elements of our day were really important for them to capture. We loved that they guided and listened to us so we felt so comfortable with them leading up to the day. The day of, they got there early to scope everything out and melded into the day wonderfully. We felt like they were present and helpful when we were navigating through the day-of-timeline but they weren't overbearing at all. They were so fun and made us feel very comfortable throughout the day. I personally loved that it felt like we additional wedding party capturing our day! When we received our teaser, we watched it over and over and over again and cried every time. It felt like we had our very own personal music video! It brought us right back to the most amazing day of our lives and triggered SO many amazing memories. We literally watch our videos all the time and cannot wait to show our children and grandchildren someday!”

  • Serves Des Moines, IA

Any talented wedding videographer can create a slo-mo 5-minute cinematic wedding film of your wedding but there's so much more to a wedding day than that. And this is what separates us from all of the other wedding videographers out there. While, we craft our videos around the love you share, the fun moments that happen throughout the day are what makes each story so unique. So, as you'll notice in the examples, no two wedding videos are the same. We customize each wedding video we create to fit the couple we're working with as well as the flow of the day, which will allow you to relive your day the way that it actually happened!

“I am SO glad we decided to have a videographer, and we are so glad it was Gordon!!! Our wedding day went by unbelievably fast, and there are so many little moments that we didn't get to see or fully take in while everything was happening. As a bride, it never clicked for me that I wouldn't be able to see my family walking down the aisle until the day of! Having our wedding video means we get to experience those moments again... our vows, speeches, our families' reactions, all of the little candid moments, and things we didn't even know were happening. Gordon was so easy to work with and was incredibly professional without ever making us feel like we were constantly being filmed, especially as two naturally camera-shy people. He did such an amazing job of capturing everything naturally, and we barely even noticed the cameras were there. The final video was honestly more than we could have hoped for. It feels so personal to us and captured the feeling of the day in a way that photos alone just can't. I already know we're going to be watching it for years and years. If you're on the fence about hiring a videographer, PLEASE do it. Being able to hear and see our wedding day again is something I'm already so grateful we have. And Gordon was absolutely the right person to trust with it!”

Like many couples, we were a little nervous about being in front of the camera and worried about looking stiff or awkward. However, the second we met them, all that anxiety completely disappeared. It felt like we were hanging out with two friends who happened to have cameras. They kept us laughing, gave us just the right amount of direction, and made the whole afternoon feel like a fun date rather than a formal shoot. Because they made us feel so comfortable, the photos and video captured who we actually are as a couple. We’re so grateful for the memories and the amazing experience they gave us!
