Wedding Videography FAQs

Not a chance. Our couples consistently tell us they forgot we were there — and then are amazed by what we captured. Effie told us we "fit in perfectly with the photography team." Allie said we captured moments she "would have missed otherwise." That's the balance we aim for every time: present enough to catch everything, invisible enough that you never feel it.

Valley Films specializes in authentic, cinematic wedding films in Northeast Wisconsin. Our packages include full-day coverage (8-10 hours), 5-8 minute highlight films, full ceremony and reception edits, and optional drone footage for stunning views of venues like Door County’s waterfronts or Fox Valley barns. Every film is tailored to your story, capturing raw emotions and natural moments. We also offer raw footage and custom edits. Contact us to discuss your vision and package options!

"Our packages are built around what you actually want from your film — not a one-size-fits-all checklist. Most couples invest between $3,000 and $6,500 depending on coverage length, deliverables, and add-ons like drone footage or a same-week social teaser. We'll build something that fits your day. Reach out and we'll walk you through the options."

We’re based in Hortonville, WI, and primarily serve Northeast Wisconsin, including Door County, Appleton, and the Fox Valley.
