Black 🖤 White 🤍 Gold 💛

Let’s talk raw footage. This is a common request we get. Can we get the raw footage? I’ll be honest, you won’t want the raw footage. It’s not what you expect. Most of the work goes into the footage after it’s shot. Finding the good shots, cutting it up, pairing it with music, and then coloring it. This is just an example of what the footage looks like straight out of the camera BEFORE and then AFTER Kurt does the coloring. Will we give you raw footage of your grandmother if you want it? Absolutely! But trust us you won’t want ALL the raw footage 😊

Hi! We’ve had some new followers lately so I thought we should introduce ourselves 😅

I’m Madeline and my wonderful husband, Kurt, and I make up Proper Films. We are wedding and event videographers.

5 things about us:

1. We met on Tinder. 😅

2. We have an adorable 13 month old named Brooks and a crazy named Oliver.

3. I’m the silly one as you can see from the last photo. We aren’t as serious as we look in photo two.

4. We are hopeless romantics and that’s why we love shooting weddings. 🤍

5. Lastly, I love a good dirty martini 🍸 and Kurt loves a good old fashioned. 🥃

It was a joy to witness the love, commitment, and FUN between Annie & Steve. The stunning florals from The Hive at Busy Bee , the heartfelt letters, and then crazy fun dancing left you choking up one minute and laughing the next. Getting married around the ... 10/10 highly recommend! ❤️👰🤵

Chelsey & Nic had a beautiful wedding at the The Rustic Rose Barn Venue in Roland, IA. The sunset that night was to die for so it was so fun to take them out and just let them be themselves. There were times we had to get their attention because they forgot they weren’t alone 😍 which we love!

You wouldn’t believe that this wedding took place in Anthony’s aunt’s backyard! It felt like we were in the middle of the woods as the trees had just started to turn. It was gorgeous! It makes it even better that Abby and Anthony were so natural together. They were easy to film and you can see that these high school sweethearts loved each other. Yep, that’s right, another pair of high school sweethearts. It’s so special 🤍

"When you marry someone you are marrying their family, their music choices, and even their sports teams." So, that means Devon is marrying the Detroit Lions 😅 and that is TRUE love! But in all seriousness, these two were so much fun to film. They were so natural together and so genuine. We enjoyed our time in Maquoketa and getting to know these two love birds. 💙
