(Even if they swear they’re “awkward on camera.”)
If you’re planning a wedding in Iowa City and trying to figure out which wedding videographer actually gets it, welcome. Take your shoes off. You’re in the right place.
We’re Travis & Joni Films, a husband-and-wife team who films weddings all over the Corridor, including Little Lights on the Lane, The Midnight Gem, The Celebration Farm, The Harmac, Ashton Hill Farm, Glen Oaks Country Club, and pretty much anywhere you put two humans in love and a dance floor.
Our approach?
We film your day the way it felt, not the way we think it “should” look.
No stiff posing. No over-direction.
Just real moments, real people, and real stories — with a little humor and chaos sprinkled in (because weddings, right?).
Why Couples (and Vendors) Love Working With Us
1. We keep things casual, calm, and actually fun.
You won’t find us barking orders or turning your wedding into a movie set.
We show up with encouragement, good energy, and cameras that do more cardio than we do.
We hype you up when you need it, blend in when we should, and let you be yourself the whole day.
One florist said it best:
“Travis and Joni are at your wedding to enhance it, not boss you around.
They’re there to capture your story, not theirs.”
Couldn’t have said it better.
2. We care about your actual experience — not forcing “perfect” moments.
You know when you watch a wedding film and think,
“Did they even enjoy their day or did they just pose for 9 hours?”
Yeah… no thanks.
We chase the real stuff:
- the inside jokes
- the nervous deep breaths
- the way your mom fixes your collar
- that moment your partner thinks no one’s watching
This is the good stuff you’ll want 20 years from now.
3. We work really well with other vendors.
This matters WAY more than couples realize.
Your photographer, DJ, planner, caterer, florist, we’re all on the same team. And when the team is good?
Your day flows like butter on warm bread.
Here’s what a photographer said after working with us:
“Their energy and passion is INCREDIBLE. They hype you up all day and capture your day effortlessly.
If you’re thinking about hiring them, stop scrolling and hire Travis and Joni!”
We don’t manipulate your wedding day.
We support it.
We match the vibe.
We help everyone breathe.
4. We know the Iowa City & Cedar Rapids venues like the back of our hand.
We’ve filmed at:
- Little Lights on the Lane (those white walls… chef’s kiss)
- The Midnight Gem (editor’s dream lighting)
- Celebration Farm (arch-bound magic)
- The Harmac (industrial chic + great audio setups)
- Ashton Hill Farm (iconic Midwest weddings)
- Glen Oaks Country Club (stunning grounds, timeless style)
…and dozens more.
Knowing venues means:
Better lighting.
Better audio.
Better experience for you.
5. Our couples trust us to make the film feel like THEM.
You don’t have to come with a shot list or a “vision.”
You don’t have to be photogenic or “good on camera.”
You don’t have to perform.
You just have to show up and get married.
We handle everything else.
One of our brides literally said,
“They captured our day so effortlessly and beautifully — we didn’t even realize half the moments were being filmed.”
That’s the goal.
That’s always the goal.
If You’re Getting Married in Iowa City… Let’s Talk.
Whether you’re tying the knot at Little Lights, partying at Ashton Hill, lighting candles at The Midnight Gem, or planning something tiny and intimate, we’d love to film the real, unpolished, emotional, hilarious parts of your day.
Your wedding will go by fast.
Your film won’t.
Reach out, say hi, and let’s create something future-you will be SO glad you have.
