Documentary-style wedding films.
Real Moments, No second takes.
Your wedding day is going to move fast. The vows, the tears, the moment you lock eyes before the first dance. It happens, and then it’s gone. A wedding film doesn’t freeze time, but it brings it back. Not the polished version. The real one.
I'M NATHANIEL.
A wedding and elopement videographer serving South Dakota, the Midwest, or wherever your next adventure begins. I work quietly, stay out of the way, and focus on what’s actually happening. No posed reaction shots, no manufactured moments. Just your day, preserved as it was.
I’m drawn to what’s real.
I work with couples who care more about being present than performing, and who want something lasting, not just something to post.

The unplanned moments are the ones you’ll want back the most.
I don’t direct.
I document.

I make documentary-style wedding films for couples who want an honest record of the day they actually lived.
“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.”
Miranda & Josh
"He was professional, calm, and completely in tune with everything happening. He captured moments we didn’t even realize were happening, and the final video reflects our day so beautifully and authentically. It’s something we’ll treasure forever."
Brooklyn & Josh
“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.”
Kristi & Colton
“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.”
Michelle & Dylan
"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

Dates are booked on a first-come, first-served basis and aren't secure until I receive a signed contract and retainer.
