The experience
You're probably wondering what it even looks like to have a wedding videographer. Here's what the couples I work with actually experience, start to finish.
Your Wedding Film Journey
Talking Details
As your wedding gets closer, we'll talk through the full day: schedule, locations, etc. I'll make sure to get a complete idea of what's going to be happening when and where, so I can be fully dedicated to capturing your wedding the day-of.
getting to know you
After you reach out, I want to get a feel for who you are and what's in store for the big day. What's going to make your wedding feel like your wedding? This is the foundation for your film.
This is also where you get to know how I work, ask whatever you want, and figure out if I'm the right fit before either of us commits to anything. We can also film a story session, if you want your journey as a couple told in your own words worked into your film.
how I FILM
Let's get this party started. You get married. I film it. Sounds simple, but when it's game time, I'm not just standing in the corner. I seek out all the little parts that add up to make your wedding day uniquely yours. I get a lot of steps in, and my quads don't let me forget it the next day.
Once the wedding's over, I take all the footage from your wedding and don't try to shape it into something it's not. My approach to editing is guided by you and your day.
No later than 8 weeks after, your film is delivered via a custom video gallery. Yours to keep and share. It's yours now.
your film
“If you're trying to decide where to spend and where to save on your wedding, let me make it easy: budget for Nathaniel Wilson Video. His work isn’t just a wedding video; it’s a beautifully curated time capsule of one of the most meaningful days of your life.”

the investment
Okay, the part you scrolled down for.
Collections start at $3,200 with my couples typically spending $4,000. After you submit your contact form, I'll email you a welcome guide with tons more information about what's offered in each of them.
For couples getting married outside of the Black Hills or western South Dakota, I'll add a travel fee that scales with the distance from Rapid City, whether that's a few extra hours or a flight across the country. I'll always quote that number upfront, so you know exactly what you're paying before you book.
Still on the hunt for a photographer? Got you covered. Book me and Katie Mary Photography together for a discount. Just make sure to mention this when filling out your contact form.
Questions
& Answers
What can we expect for our final film?
A film you'll actually want to watch again. And again. Not a highlight reel of the obvious stuff, the parts you'd forget without it. Your mom hugging your aunt as she sits down for the ceremony. Trevor trying to bring 3 beers back to his table without spilling. Years from now, you press play and it all comes rushing back.
Do you travel for weddings?
Yes. From Iowa, Arizona, to California, I love to travel every chance I get.
How long will you be there on our wedding day?
Depends on your collection. Coverage starts at six hours, and my full-day collections run from morning prep through the ties wrapped around heads by the end of the night.
What’s your payment schedule?
A retainer locks in your date, and the rest is due 30 days out. Want to spread it out instead? You can set up an interest-free payment plan that lasts up to 12 months.
