Eva + Roman’s Wedding at The Midnight Gem in Swisher, Iowa

If you’ve ever talked to a couple a week after their wedding, they’ll probably say some version of:

“It went by so fast… I barely remember half of it.”

And that’s exactly why we make wedding films.

At Travis & Joni Films, we believe your wedding day deserves to live beyond the blur. It’s more than the highlights — it’s the in-between moments that make it yours.

The Venue: The Midnight Gem in Swisher, Iowa

We filmed Eva and Roman’s wedding at The Midnight Gem, one of Iowa’s dreamiest venues tucked between Cedar Rapids and Iowa City. The natural light, black-and-white modern aesthetic, and that cozy-meets-luxury vibe made it the perfect backdrop for a day that felt both timeless and personal.

Every angle looked cinematic (our cameras basically clapped for us), and the staff at The Midnight Gem deserves a medal for how smoothly the day ran.

Eva + Roman

Eva and Roman grew up together, the kind of story that’s rooted in familiarity and friendship. When you’ve known each other that long, the connection on camera doesn’t have to be staged, it’s just there.

Their day was full of laughter, relaxed energy, and those moments that make us fall in love with this job all over again: the unplanned hugs, the quick glances, the slow dances that feel like inside jokes.

Our goal was simple: to make a film that felt like them. Not polished and perfect, but real and lasting, like a memory you can actually rewatch.

Here’s the truth…your wedding day will fly by. Between getting ready, hugging 200 people, and remembering to eat something, you’ll blink and it’ll be over.

Photos freeze a few seconds.
A wedding film lets you relive the day.

The voices, the laughter, the music, the feeling of it all. That’s what lasts.

When you watch a Travis & Joni Films highlight, we don’t want you to think, “Wow, what a pretty wedding.”

We want you to think, “That’s us.”

We’re not here to stage moments. We’re here to catch them before they disappear.

So if you’re getting married at The Midnight Gem (or anywhere in Iowa, really), and you don’t want your wedding to turn into a fuzzy blur of cake and chaos, you might want to hit play.
