"Grandfather Sent Him to me" - Eleena & Dusty
Besler's Cadillac Ranch, SD
Highlight Film
Casey & Josh
The Couple
Casey reached out to us about a year and half before their wedding date with lots of ideas and dreams of how her and Josh's wedding weekend would look. We were immediately excited about the opportunity and loved the idea of hiking a few days before the wedding to do their personal vows to a spot that was very meaningful to them.
Elee & Dusty
The Couple
What a fun loving down to earth couple of people! On our first call with the two of them we quickly learned how important family was to the both of them as well as their two dogs. Leading up to the wedding we got to hear more of the story and learned they were planning to get baptized in the creek the evening before the big day!
We told them we would be there to capture this important moment and I am so glad we did! It made a great intro into their amazing wedding film story.
"Working with Zsomething Films was such an amazing experience! There was never a moment of feeling uncomfortable or unsure when they were around, they truly helped the day go so smoothly!"

Introducing
Super 8 Film
Love nostalgia? Super 8 film is the way to go! It just gives you something that feels more raw, more in the moment and less posed or put together. This is the first wedding we've ever brought our super 8 camera to, and let me tell you - I love it so much I wish I could film with super 8 at every wedding we capture.
My other favorite part of filming with super 8 is you actually have a physical piece of your wedding film you can hold in your hands. After all the editing is finished I love getting to send the reel of film off to our couples as a small memento of the wedding.
While pieces of the super 8 is woven into the main highlight film, I also enjoy getting to put together a separate super 8 only film! - Here is the super 8 film from Elee & Dusty's wedding.
The Wedding Weekend:
Adventure session
We LOVE when we get to do an adventure session with a couple. It allows us to capture so much more of their personal story, and get to see them in their natural element doing something they enjoy together! For Elee & Dusty that included a motorcycle and their two pups!
Baptism in the River
The day before the wedding, these two wanted to get baptized in the river with all their friends and family. They also opened it up to anyone else who wanted to get baptized that day. What a unique and meaningful moment to share together!
Wedding day
The wedding day was full of fun, laughter, and tears as everything came together in the best way possible. With a super special moment with Elee's dads walking her down the aise, to sharing a special dance with mom and grandma in memory of grandfather. It was the perfect day that these two had been dreaming of for over a year.
