Hi, I'm Dayna!
I'm an Iowa wedding videographer, but if I'm being completely honest I'm just a digital hoarder.
​
My camera roll is always overflowing with photos and videos of everyday moments and memories I never want to forget. I'm constantly battling for storage space on my phone, computer, and Google Drive because I just can't bring myself to delete the moments that matter.
​
It's why I love what I do.
​
Your wedding day is filled with moments you'll want to hold onto forever. The big ones, the little ones, and the in between ones. My passion is preserving them so you can relive them for years to come.
Think of me as your professional memory hoarder, making sure the laughter, tears, and joy of your wedding day never get lost.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's required when I book?
To be considered "fully booked" with me which means you have me secured for your date and I will not advertise your date, I require that you submit a $300 deposit and return to me a signed contract.
Where are you based and do you travel?
I am based out of Iowa City but I travel frequently to the Des Moines area and Northwest Iowa. I do not have any travel fees for weddings within a 2 hour drive of Iowa City. If your travel is farther than 2 hours I ask that you pay a $100 inconvenience fee for every hour above 2 hours and pay for my hotel room if applicable. For example, if your wedding is 4 hours away, your travel fee would be $200. This inconvenience fee basically covers my gas, added mileage on my vehicle, and the added earlier wake up times and late night drives on the day of the wedding. I am very flexible and can work with you wherever your wedding may be!
I'm on the fence about a videographer, is it worth it?
Your wedding day moves so fast and one of the most common things I hear is that "I wish I could've slowed it down or relived the day." A wedding film allows you to hear your vows, experience the feelings, and see little moments you might not have had the chance to on the day. So yes. I have a simpler package if budget is what's holding you back because I believe everyone has the right to this life long memory.
If I have specific things I want in or out of the video, how do I go about making sure you know?
Your wedding day is YOURS. I'm just here to capture it as it happens. As we go about the planning process and communicating leading up to the wedding, I will send you a comprehensive document that asks a number of questions so that we are on the same page with what you want on your day.
