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!

My name is Jordan, and I am so excited to get to know you! I am based in Aubrey, Texas (Dallas Fort Worth area) but am from small town Iowa with my wife, Melanie, and my son, Jameson. I have two brothers [Jared and Justin] and a puppy named Rookie. Videography, photography, and travelling are my true passion, but in my free time you can find me working out, cooking with Melanie, being a dad, or spending quality time with my friends and family.

Awarded Best of Zola
As a wedding photographer in North Iowa, I frequently and vehemently recommended Jordan to my clients. Not only does he lead, communicate, and produce fabulous work— he also is a breeze to work with professionally. I like to see vendors who don’t just “work in the shadows,” being just as much a part of your day as the people you have known your whole life is part of the job. You will leave feeling like you’ve made a friend. My clients who worked with the both of us have said “we will remember how FUN he was.” How he makes people feel shines through in your wedding film. I enjoyed working with him, and was disappointed to see him leave the area. Texas is lucky to have such a passionate, fun videographer.

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.

Hello! I am a wedding filmmaker based in Kansas City. I have been shooting wedding for over 5 years now on the video side of things. Before this, I shot weddings a photographer for 6 years. So, I have plenty of experience and insight of what goes into a wedding day. I have a very cinematic style with bright and vibrant colors.

Josh is such an awesome human being. The moment my husband and I met him we knew we had picked the right person! He is so enthusiastic and definitely found his niche with videography. The video is something my husband and I will forever treasure, I would 100% recommend Josh to any bride!!

Awarded Best of Zola
Working with Martin and Kero for our engagement session was hands down one of the highlights of our year. 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! Huge shoutout to Martin and Kero! They made our engagement shoot incredibly fun and stress-free. We felt totally comfortable the whole time, and the footage/photos were stunning. We highly recommend this amazing team!
