About Kota Video Productions
Kota Video Productions
I am Dakotah with Kota Video. I started this company with a passion for storytelling and it has grown into something I am incredibly proud of. I love filming weddings and capturing such special moments and the reactions I get from couples makes everything worth it. Packages are customizable to your vision! Kota Video will never farm out your wedding to other unknown shooters. Kota Video is owned and operated by Dakotah Douglas and partners with talented photographers to give you the best possible experience for your special day. With 80+ 5-Star reviews across Google and Zola, we look forward to hearing from you.
I have developed a keen eye for storytelling over nearly 10 years of practice. I know what shots to get and dynamically add new ones for each location I shoot at. I know when and where to be at all times. This shines through in the editing room where it all comes together. We are friendly to couples of all races, ethnicities, gender identity, and sexual preference.

Amazing Videographer
I hired Dakota to shoot video for the wedding I was shooting photo for, and his talents behind the camera and in the finalized edit were incredible. The clients were satisfied, and so was I by far. Very easy to work with, punctual, and experienced.

Such good work!
Working with Dakotah was a genuine pleasure from start to finish. He communicated clearly throughout the planning process and showed real flexibility when unexpected moments came up during our wedding day, which helped everything run smoothly despite a few hiccups. The final video is stunning—he captured not just the big moments but the little details that made our day special, with cinematography that exceeded our expectations. His team was easy to collaborate with and genuinely invested in telling our story. I'd absolutely recommend him to any couple looking for videographers who combine technical skill with a refreshingly straightforward approach.

Moments captured for a lifetime
Having Dakotah apart of our wedding day was one of the best decisions we made. We knew we wanted to capture the most out of our wedding day and knew that a videographer would be the perfect touch. Dakotah was easy to talk to and he really understood what we wanted. The amount of coverage for someone working solo was incredible. He is truly a professional and makes getting the job done look easy and effortless. We were in awe of the amount of details captured and the quality service that was provided. The finishing product exceeded our expectations in so many ways and was worth every penny. If ever we have another event that requires a video he would be the first we call.

Absolutely Obsessed
Originally when planning our wedding, my now husband and I really wanted a wedding video that captured the true feeling of the moment. We weren’t just looking for a videographer, but someone who was a visionary, and to say that about Dakotah is such an understatement. He created a true cinematic masterpiece for my husband and I that left us crying on the couch. Before booking him for our special day, I had reviewed multiple samples of his work and every video left me with tears in my eyes, (mind you, I don’t even know these people haha), but that’s when I knew Dakotah could deliver exactly what we were looking for! If you get anything from this review, let it be this: BOOK DAKOTAH FOR YOUR WEDDING!!

10/10 Videographer
We could not be happier with our experience! From the very beginning, Dakotah was professional, organized, and incredibly easy to work with. He made us feel comfortable in front of the camera and captured every special moment beautifully. The final video exceeded our expectations and allowed us to relive our day all over again. We are so grateful for the care and attention he put into his work and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a talented videographer.
