The experience
Here’s what it looks like to work together, from booking to the moment your film lands in your inbox.
The couples who book me want one thing: to watch their wedding film and relive this amazing day as it actually happened. I’m not staging moments or pulling you away for shots. What you get back is your day. Real, imperfect, and completely yours.
Your Wedding Film Journey
making it yours
As your wedding gets closer, we'll talk through the full day: schedule, locations, the people and moments that matter most to you. No surprises, and nobody guessing at logistics. But just as important, this is where I start shaping how I'll film your day specifically, because what worked for the last couple won't necessarily work for you. No two weddings are the same, so no two films are either.
getting to know you
Before I show up to your wedding with a camera, I want to chat, get an idea of who you are, and what's going to make your day special. This isn't a formality before booking. It's how I learn what your film actually needs to feel like. We can also find some time before the big day to meet and have you and significant other share how you got to this point during a Story Session. This is your chance to add another layer to your wedding film.
how I FILM
I don't walk in with a shot list built from someone else's wedding and try to make your day fit it. I document what's actually happening; the energy in the room, the way your people show up for you, the small unscripted moments most people miss because they're too busy living them. My job is to disappear into the day enough that you forget I'm there, so what I capture is real.
the investment
Most wedding videographers hand you a package and ask you to fit your day inside it. That's not how I work. Everything needed to create the best possible film of your wedding is already included. No tiers, no upgrades to chase down. Optional add-ons like full ceremony and reception toast edits are available if you want them, but they're never required to get a complete, beautifully crafted film. Investment is custom-quoted for every couple.
Additionally, I partner with Katie Mary Photography to offer a discount if you're looking for both photo and video.
Within a week of your wedding, I’ll post a sneak peek to my social media pages so you get a first look while the day is still fresh.
No later than 8 weeks after your wedding, your completed film is delivered to your own custom video gallery. Yours to keep and revisit whenever you want.

kind words from past couples
Marena & Brady
"I can’t wait for this video to go down our family tree for generations to come. This video will always capture our loved ones smiles, mannerisms, and voices that pictures could never do justice."
Kristi & Colton
“Nathaniel was so helpful in all aspects of our perfect day. He was much more than a videographer for us and went the extra mile for us on our wedding day and even before. He’s a super great dude, made us feel so comfortable and like he wasn’t even there, so he truly was able to capture such an authentic representation of our lives.”
Miranda & Josh
“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.”
Michelle & Dylan
“When we watched our video for the first time, we were absolutely in awe. Nathaniel’s ability to tell a story through his lens is pure artistry — every detail, every glance, every bit of emotion was perfectly woven together. It felt like reliving the most beautiful day of our lives all over again.”
Kerrey & Tristen
"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."
Questions
& Answers
What can we expect for our final film?
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 the whole day rush back. Not just the polished moments, but the real ones. The ones you didn’t even notice at the time. That’s what I’m there to catch.
Do you travel for weddings?
Absolutely. South Dakota is home, I travel throughout the Midwest, and will go anywhere else my couples take me.
How long will you be there on our wedding day?
From morning prep to late-night dancing, I’ll be there the entire day.
What’s your payment schedule?
An initial retainer secures your date, with the remaining balance due 30 days before your wedding. You can also set up an interest-free payment plan.
