Your wedding day is full of moments you don’t even realize are happening — quiet glances, nervous laughs, deep breaths, happy tears.
Those moments matter.
My goal isn’t just to document what your day looked like, but to preserve how it felt — so years from now, you can come back to it and remember it clearly.
Based in Rapid City, South Dakota, I’m now booking 2026 + 2027 to create wedding & elopement videos that couples will cherish for years, traveling to wherever your next great adventure begins.

Who believes your love story deserves better than cookie-cutter coverage. I believe the best wedding films come from being present, observant, and unobtrusive.
I don’t stage moments or force emotion. I give your day space to unfold naturally, and I capture it as honestly as possible.
The result is a film that feels personal, emotional, and timeless — not overly produced or trendy, but true to you.
"We cannot express how thrilled we are with the wedding video Nathaniel created! It completely exceeded our expectations and truly captured the essence of our special day in ways we couldn’t have even imagined. The video did not just capture our wedding, it told our story in such a beautiful, heartfelt way, including every moment we hoped to relive and so many more."
- Shalana & Spencer
This is about documenting something meaningful — not just creating content.
Just like your morning coffee order or the way you dance in the kitchen, your wedding day should feel perfectly, uniquely you. I'm here to capture your celebration exactly as it happens – whether that's a sunrise elopement in Badlands National Park, or a starlit reception in South Dakota's Black Hills.
I won’t give you a wedding video, I'll give you YOUR wedding video.
I’ll make sure your wedding moments are preserved just as you’ll want to remember them.
No matter who you love, or what walk of life you're from, I’d love to help tell your love story.
"If you’re searching for someone who can transform your wedding day into a cinematic masterpiece that you’ll treasure forever, look no further. Nathaniel is unbelievably talented, kind, and passionate about his work — and we couldn’t be more grateful to have had him capture our story."
- Michelle & Dylan

"AMAZING! Nathaniel was such an integral part in our wedding day. He understood what we wanted and requested and treated our wedding day as if it was his own. If you’re on the fence about hiring a videographer, ask yourself if you could have your favorite photo be turned into a video of that moment, would you want that? Our answer was YES and it was one of the best vendor decisions we made."
- Kerrey & Tristen

From morning prep to late-night dancing, I'll be there the entire day rolling the cameras.
How long will you be there on our wedding day?
Of course! I'm happy to create an interest-free payment plan that works for you.
Can we split payments monthly?
Of course! I move quietly through your day, catching everything from must-have moments to those beautiful in-between seconds. Your vision guides my lens and I’m here to capture the moments you’re dreaming of and the ones you didn’t even know to ask for.
Will you capture specific moments we want?
Your wedding film will be a time capsule that brings you right back to every emotion, every laugh, and every happy tear. Years from now, you'll press play and feel that same wedding day magic all over again, because I don’t just document your day – I preserve how it felt to say “I do”.
What can we expect for our final film?
