WE'RE ALL ABOUT CREATING FILMS that not only capture the FULLNESS of YOUR beautifully wild, ONCE IN A LIFETIME DAY, but that honor the DEPTH of YOUR STORY together.

You have a story.

You’ve had first dates, butterflies in your stomach, inside jokes, favorite breakfast cafes, and a million secrets we will never know. Your futures will hold a lifetime of joys and sorrows; vacations and bills, fights and road trips, laughter and grief. You may take risks to chase your dreams, see the world together, hold each other through painful seasons, or experience the joy of a growing family. We likely won’t be there to capture these moments, but we may be there for the day you say yes to all of it–

– the day you choose the adventure of sharing a life together, forever. We honor this privilege by creating films that not only capture the fullness of your beautifully wild, once-in-a-lifetime day, but that honor the depth of your story together.

We take a custom approach with each film to reflect the couple in it, and take on a limited amount of weddings each year to give each story the time, heart, and attention it deserves.

WE’LL BE
a GREAT FIT if

fig. 01

(i)
You really, really like each other. Whether you’re adventuring through a foreign country or binge-watching Parks and Rec over a bowl of pizza rolls, you are each other’s home. At the end of the day, you’re just so stoked to be marrying your person.

(ii)
You care about the story as much as the day. You know your journey began long before you made it here, and will continue long after the string lights turn off. Your day commemorates this journey– your loved ones will share memories of your history and encouragement for your future, and you’ll make important and intentional promises for life together. Like us, you believe these words on film are a once-in-a-lifetime heirloom worth honoring.

(iiii)
You embrace the real, the in-between, and the unscripted. Whether it’s your windswept hair, the flower girl that can’t quite make it down the aisle, your lover who can’t quite make it through their vows and all the nods and giggles in between– you count it all as gold and appreciate honest storytelling (quirks and all).

(iii)
People are most important to you. You’re not looking for the perfect shot of your invitation suite or cake topper (as lovely as they are!). More than anything else, you want an attentive team committed to capturing exchanges that will mean the most 40 years from now. 

(iv)
You’re not above a good cry or beneath a good party. You’re here for the full spectrum of emotion, baby – with a handkerchief in one hand and your dancing sneakers in another. You’re ready to both cry it out and cut a rug, and you want a film (and team) that embraces the entirety of that journey.

(WE LEAD WITH)

P R E S E N C E

(and speaking to our heart there)

 The films you see here are the result of what’s been generously shared with us– an exchange of trust and intentional devotion. We strive to get to know you before your day so you are free to feel your feelings, let your day unfold how it unfolds, and enjoy the ride– knowing we’ll be by your side the entire time. Our 8+ years of experience filming weddings allows us to know when to anticipate important and fleeting moments, when to step in and direct, and when to remain invisible. 

In every moment, we hope we’ll  feel like just another friend on the day of the wedding– following you around and capturing all the smiles that turn into kisses, drunk booty grabs, special exchanges between loved ones, and every other in-between moment worth preserving. 

Why Couples

Choose Us

(Our Approach)

(01)

We create for you, not for us. Our only agenda is for you to have the time of your life and a film that reflects how it felt. No two weddings (or couples) are alike and they shouldn’t be filmed alike either.

(02)

We prioritize story and meaning over image. We believe the best wedding films are an honest and enduring glimpse at who you are and how you love– not a highlight reel of your table settings or fleeting internet trends.

(03)

We value the full emotional journey of your day (from your weepy first look to your rowdy grand entrance) and we hope your film makes you laugh and fist pump as well as shed a few tears.

(04)

We’re music lovers committed to leaning into your style, which means no cheesy instrumentals here. The sonic backdrop to your film should sound like the music you listen to in your kitchen or on your road trips together – not something you heard on hold with your bank once.

(05)

We honor the love both within and around you, because your film should be so much more than slow motion portraits at golden hour – it should be rich with the faces and voices of your people.

KIND WORDS

  • “The choice to pick Iron and Fern as our videographers was effortless and instant, and they created a film that is perfect and timeless. We are in love with every single moment and are honestly in disbelief that the bride and groom in our wedding film is us. The work they do is truly the finest artistic talent, and they completely and wholeheartedly nailed it.”

    –RASA & BEN

  • “Iron and Fern made our wedding day and they were hands down our best vendor. We absolutely adored having them with us on our day and I cannot put into words how insanely good and incredibly meaningful our film is to us. We knew our film was going to be amazing but it is WAY better than we ever could have imagined. It is truly priceless and I feel so lucky to relive these moments forever and ever!”

    –KELSEY & ALAN

  • “Iron and Fern completely blew us away. Their work is so incredibly personal, raw and real and made us feel like we were right back on our day, feeling all of the joy and giddy-ness all over again. They made our day so special, crafted the most beautiful representation of our marriage & relationship, and illuminated our day in a way we can’t even begin to describe.”

    –ALLIE & STEVIE

  • “We just finished watching our film for our first anniversary, and immediately looked at each other and said it was the best investment we have made so far in our life together. Dave and Caitlin perfectly captured everything about our love, our families, our friends, and our relationship that we hold most dear. We wanted to be able to watch our wedding film and be filled with joy and pure radiant happiness, and they absolutely nailed it.”

    –KELSEY & SAM

  • “We can’t put into words how absurd, amazing, and incomprehensible our wedding film is. We stayed up until 5am the night we received it (watching it in a blubbering mess), and every time we’ve watched it since we’ve found something new to fall in love with. I knew from our very first call that Iron and Fern was the videographer for us and I was brought to tears as I felt their passion through the phone. They care so deeply for their couples, take talent to the next level & created the most intentional and beautiful film we will forever cherish. We can’t even begin to encapsulate the gratitude we feel for Iron and Fern”
