Hi, we’re Travis & Joni, wedding videographers based in Iowa who spend most weekends filming love stories, dance floors, and the moments no one thinks to plan for.
You’ll see a lot of wedding videos online that focus on what videographers do.
Pretty shots. Slow motion. Epic music. Golden hour.
But this isn’t really about what we do.
It’s about why we do it.
Because the reason we film weddings has very little to do with trends… and everything to do with how it feels years from now.
We Film for the Feeling You Can’t Recreate
Not tomorrow.
Not next week.
Not even on your one-year anniversary.
We film weddings for the random Tuesday, 20 years down the road, when you stumble across your wedding film and suddenly remember how it felt.
Not what it looked like but how it felt.
The nervous energy.
The laughs you forgot about.
The way everyone looked younger, louder, and a little more unhinged.
Photos freeze moments.
Video brings them back to life.
Because We Forgot Our Own Toasts (And Still Think About That)
At our own wedding, there were speeches.
They were probably great.
But here’s the thing… we don’t remember a single word.
Not because they didn’t matter, but because your brain is doing a lot on your wedding day. You’re processing emotions, timelines, hugs, music, adrenaline… all at once.
To be able to sit down years later and hear what people said about you?
That’s not small. That’s huge.
And it’s something we wish we had.
We Film for the People You Love (Even the Ones You Don’t Realize You’ll Miss)
This part sounds heavy, but stay with us.
Weddings quietly become time capsules.
Parents with darker hair.
Grandparents dancing.
Aunts and uncles telling stories.
Friends before kids, careers, and life pull everyone in different directions.
We don’t film weddings thinking, “This will matter someday.”
We film them knowing it will.
And when couples rewatch their films years later, it’s often not about the dress or the venue — it’s about seeing people again.
We Film the Parts You Didn’t Plan (But End Up Loving the Most)
The cocktail hour you almost skipped.
The inside jokes that don’t make sense to anyone else.
The way your partner looks at you when you’re not paying attention.
The dance move that absolutely should not have happened… but did.
Those moments don’t show up on timelines.
They show up in real life.
That’s why we stay present, blend in, and keep the cameras rolling even when nothing “big” is happening.
Because that’s usually when the good stuff shows up.
We Film So You Don’t Have to Be Everywhere at Once
Your only job on your wedding day is to be there.
Not documenting.
Not directing.
Not remembering every detail perfectly.
Just living it.
We’ll take care of the rest.
Finally…
Wedding videography isn’t really about a film.
It’s about giving your future self a way back.
Back to the sounds, the movement, the people, and the feeling of a day that goes by way too fast.
And if that sounds like something you’d want someday, even if you don’t feel it yet, that’s probably why we do what we do.
