Nathaniel Wilson

Video

The belly laugh during your best friend's toast. That catch in your voice during the vows. The way your grandparents slow-dance like they're nineteen again. Your wedding day unfolds in countless precious moments. But when the last song fades and the sparklers dim…

What you'll get isn't just a soul-stirring wedding video – it's your story bottled like starlight. Those stolen glances, the happy tears (often including mine behind the camera), and all those little moments that make your love uniquely yours. Your wedding film should be a time capsule, ready whenever you are to revisit one of life's sweetest days. I'll pour my heart into capturing yours, eternalizing every moment, and treating every frame with the same care you've put into choosing your forever person.


Every film, a legacy.

Every frame, a memory.

INFJ, craft beer enthusiast, avid hiker...

Who believes your love story deserves better than cookie-cutter coverage. You deserve a video full of authentic moments artfully captured. I'll capture the effortless expressions of your romance to create a cinematic experience that feels as natural as your love.

While perfect poses have their place, it's the unscripted moments that steal our hearts: the subtle glances, the spontaneous laughter, the quiet tears. These are the treasures we'll want to revisit decades from now, showing our grandkids how it all began. I believe that every moment like this that we’re lucky enough to capture is a priceless gift for our future selves and families.

Hi, I'm Nathaniel

"Hiring Nathaniel as our videographer was well worth the investment! Not only did he do an outstanding job on capturing our special day, but he is very personable and was a joy to have join us. He had great communication and he was extremely easy to work with throughout the planning process and during our wedding. His dedication, knowledge, and guidance made our experience working with him wonderful!" - Hayley & Theodore

From filming college football to South Dakota ranchers, I thought I knew what storytelling meant. Then my wife suggested I try wedding videography – and everything clicked. Those real, unscripted moments in front of my lens felt like magic in a way that perfectly posed shots never did.

Instead of directing unrealistic actions, I chase those genuine moments. The best man handing the groom a tissue when his bride walks down the aisle, the way your partner's eyes crinkle at the corners when they first see your wedding band catch the light… these are the pieces of your day worth preserving. Because your wedding film isn't just for today – it's a gift to your future selves, a time capsule of joy you'll want to step back into over and over again.

Where your wedding memories find their forever home.

Capturing your love as it unfolds, not as it’s staged.

"Planning a wedding is hard…but hiring Nathaniel is the BEST decision a bride/groom can make! He went above and beyond our expectations, and we will forever treasure our final video from him. He captured the most important moments of the day, and truly captured the love and joy of our wedding day!" - Peyton & Nathan

What my clients are saying.

"We cannot express how thrilled we are with the wedding video Nathanial 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

What my clients are saying.

"Booking Nathaniel as your videographer is the BEST investment you can make for your special day. Our video is something we will treasure for the rest of our lives. It is true what they say about your wedding day flying by. You don't truly understand that until you go through the day yourself. Because of Nathaniel, we get to relive the most special parts of our wedding day over and over again." - KayDe & Marco

What my clients are saying.

"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
