a wedding film that celebrates your love story and honors your perfectly imperfect moments
wedding and elopement videographer serving Rapid City, South Dakota & beyond
Crafted to be relived and deeply felt
At the heart of every wedding day are moments that can’t be staged; the quiet glances, the laughter that catches you off guard, and the emotions that unfold naturally. I create documentary-style wedding films that go beyond just recording, thoughtfully capturing the feeling of your day as it truly happens. With an intentional and unobtrusive approach, your film becomes a timeless reflection of your love that is honest, emotional, and beautifully true to who you are.
let's connect!
Hey, I'm Nathaniel
I believe your love story requires better than cookie-cutter coverage. You deserve a video full of authentic moments artfully captured. I'll preserve the effortless expressions of your romance to create a documentary-style experience that feels as natural as your love. I believe that every moment like this that we’re lucky enough to capture is a priceless gift for our future selves and families.
AN HEIRLOOM maker THAT CAPTURES THE FEELING, NOT JUST THE DAY
let's film it!
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.

The NWV experience
From the moment we connect, my approach is rooted in ease, trust, and genuine relationship. I take the time to truly get to know you, your story, your dynamic, and the moments that matter most so your film feels like you, not a template. On your wedding day, I'll be there with a calm, thoughtful presence, blending in seamlessly while capturing the emotions as they naturally unfold. You’re free to be fully present, soaking in every laugh, tear, and quiet in-between moment, knowing your story is being cared for with intention.
Long after the day has passed, your film becomes more than something you watch it’s something you return to. A way to relive how it felt, remember the people who surrounded you, and celebrate a love that continues to grow and live on through time.

AMAZING! Nathaniel was such an integral part in our wedding day.
My husband said he wanted to remember how people talked, moved, danced, played, etc when we look back on our wedding, something you can’t get from pictures alone. Nathaniel did exactly that.
