we believe your wedding film should feel like you.

So we do things a little differently here.

the meadowlark difference

When you choose us, you have us for the entire day with no time limits. We’ll be there from the time the bride’s hair and makeup is done through the dancing and sparkler exit. You decide the length of your feature film, along with any extra edits you would like to add.

Being in the limelight for the entire day can feel daunting, but we will set you at ease so you can forget about the cameras and be fully present with your partner – enjoying your day and soaking up all the love and joy around you. You get the wedding day experience and film you’ve always dreamed of.

 
 
 
 
 

You don’t have a cookie cutter love story,
so we don’t have cookie cutter packages.

Here’s how it works:

  1. The Talking Phase

Set up a meeting, ask Qs, get to know us, and when you’re ready – choose your length of film + add ons, complete the agreement, and pay your retainer.

 

ii. The Planning Phase

We’ll spend the next months getting to know you and your story. We’ll help you with ideas, plan out the day, and even meet up for a fun hangout.

 
 

iii. The Big Day

You have us for the entire day. No stressful time constraints, no double-bookings. We’re all yours for as long as we need to capture your love story.

 
 
 

iv. the magic happens

The good stuff. We’ll start editing your footage, listen to hours of music to find the perfect soundtrack, and craft your one-of-a-kind film.

All packages include:

1

fun get-to-know-each-other hangout

2

videographers for your entire day

3+

meetings to get to know you

Unlimited

expertise and help with planning

It’s all about experience…

Our film collections are delivered in a beautiful, custom online gallery where you can view, share and download all your videos.

Why do adventure sessions?

It is no accident that our films have an organic, candid feel. Being filmed before the wedding day gives our couples a chance to practice being in front of a camera in a low pressure setting. After your session, you will feel confident and comfortable, knowing how easy it is to work with us.

We know you’re not professional actors and we don’t expect you to be. By the time we reach your wedding day we will feel like old friends, and you’ll get a short, beautiful adventure film as well.

 
 
 

step 1. choose your film length

Each sample film shown below is the same wedding day edited to the different lengths so you can envision what each would include.

 
 

novel

11-13 minute feature film
(If you have wedding day FOMO - this is for you. This length provides the opportunity to showcase a number of different elements, big and small, so you don’t miss a thing.)

$6,500

Novella

7–9 minute featurette film
Like a novella, this is the perfect length for a wedding film and our most popular option. You get to enjoy the large and small moments with plenty of time to include candids of your loved ones.

$5,500

spark notes

3-5 minute feature film
A hand-crafted film highlighting your day + the emotions. This length is reminiscent of the spark notes edition of a book - you get all the main points from “I do” to the dance floor.

$4,500

This is the one
 
 
 

step 2. choose your extras

We hand-picked these extra edits as must-haves to remember every amazing moment of your wedding day.

The Toasts 🥂

As much as we want to, we don’t include full-length speeches in our films. This addition gives you the chance to enjoy the speeches (and the reactions!) in their full, uncensored glory.

The Ceremony

This is a must-have edit for every couple. You won’t remember the specific words that were said at your ceremony once it’s over, so this gives you a chance to relive it for years to come.

The First Dances

Between nerves and excitement, your first dances fly by! Trust us, you’ll want to be able to rewatch the dances you’ve dreamt of your entire life – and share them with future kiddos.

Step 3. inquire for availability + Set up a meeting

Frequently Asked Questions

If you don’t see the answer to your question here, feel free to contact us and ask away! We love hearing from you.

 
 

  • Yes – we love to travel! Additional charges apply to weddings outside of the Fargo area, so let us know where you’re tying the knot and we can create a custom quote for you.

  • We provide crystal clear audio. We use lavalier lapel mics for grooms, officiants, and other participants, and we also hook an audio recorder into the sound system.

  • We set up an arrival and estimated departure time with you prior to the wedding day so you’ll always know what to expect. We’ll start filming once the bride’s hair and makeup is done, and we’ll stay as long as we need to (usually about an hour into the dance unless you have something else we need to stay for.)

  • The process is pretty simple! First, you’ll fill out the inquiry form on our contact page so I can make sure your date is available. If it is, we’ll have a consultation to make sure we’re a good fit for each other. If we hit it off, all you have to do is pay a $1,000 retainer, sign a contract, and the date is all yours!

  • At this time we do not, but I know tons of amazing photographers who I would love to recommend.

  • We have a drone and will fly it as long as the location, time and weather permit.
