Cinematic Wedding Films in Des Moines, Iowa — Told by Twelve One & Co.
Your wedding day isn’t just an event — it’s a story worth telling with intention, emotion, and elegance. At Twelve One & Co., we specialize in crafting cinematic wedding films in Des Moines, Iowa that feel less like a video and more like a movie you’ll treasure for life.
What Sets a Cinematic Wedding Film Apart?
A cinematic film is about storytelling, not just footage. It’s the music swelling as you read your vows. It’s the way the sunlight hits your dress during golden hour. It’s the emotion in your father’s voice during a toast. Our approach includes:
-
Intentional storytelling and seamless narrative flow
-
Professional camera techniques (sliders, drones, gimbals)
-
Artistic color grading and ambient audio
-
Carefully selected music synced to emotion
-
A final product that looks and feels like a film
This is where real love meets real cinema.
The Des Moines Aesthetic
Des Moines offers a beautiful backdrop for timeless wedding films. From historic venues like Rollins Mansion to outdoor landscapes and modern downtown rooftops, every setting becomes part of your story. At Twelve One & Co., we know how to frame Iowa’s charm in a way that feels high-end, editorial, and deeply personal.
The Twelve One & Co. Experience
We’re Donovan and Meagan — a husband-and-wife team who understand the importance of storytelling. Our journey started with our own love story (and two special dates that inspired our name), and today, we bring that same passion and attention to every couple we film.
Our cinematic wedding films begin with connection. We get to know you, your vibe, your story — and then we let it unfold naturally through intentional filming and refined editing. From the quiet, tender moments to the loudest laughter on the dance floor, we’re there for it all.
Why Couples Choose Cinematic Films
Our couples choose cinematic wedding films because they want more than a recap — they want:
-
Emotionally resonant storytelling
-
A timeless aesthetic that feels elevated
-
A keepsake that reflects the depth of the day
-
A film they’ll actually want to watch again and again
If that sounds like you, you’re in the right place.
