Alright, hereโ€™s the deal: Good audio is everything! By micing the couple, Iโ€™m able to create more depth in a wedding film. I can preserve all those candid moments and intimate conversations, even when you're not together. ๐Ÿ˜‰ Trust me, this little trick makes your wedding film so much richer and more emotional. In this video I walk through how and why I mic a bride (as long as theyโ€™re comfortable with it).

Just a quick peek at one of my multicam setups for a processional! Every wedding is a little bit different, but I love using multiple angles to create depth and to make sure I have backup options in case any of my cameras fail. #weddingvideographer #weddingvideo #weddingvideography #wedding #bridetobe

Itโ€™s hard to believe weโ€™re heading into our 7th wedding season! ๐ŸŽ‰ Weโ€™ve had the honor of filming and editing over 250 weddings since 2018, and weโ€™re pretty sure weโ€™ve hit at least 15,000+ hours combined. All those hours have made us super confident in capturing unique love stories with ease and delivering high quality. ๐ŸŽฅ๐Ÿ’ We absolutely love documenting these beautiful stories and all the experience weโ€™ve gained from filming weddings. But itโ€™s more than just the experienceโ€”itโ€™s about the fun memories weโ€™ve made and how much fun we have with everyone. Weโ€™re all about those good vibes and genuine moments with the couple but ALSO our fellow wedding vendors. ๐ŸŽ‰๐Ÿค Weโ€™ve discovered a real passion for sharing what weโ€™ve learned over the years. Whether itโ€™s tips, tricks, or cool insights into videography, we love passing on our knowledge and helping others tell their stories too. Got questions? Let us knowโ€”weโ€™d love to create more educational content! ๐Ÿ“šโœจ Huge thanks to all the amazing couples and vendors whoโ€™ve been part of this incredible journey. We canโ€™t wait to capture more unforgettable memories and stories with you all! ๐Ÿฅ‚๐Ÿ’• #weddingvideography #weddingvideographer #weddingvideo #education #weddingfilm #weddingfilmmaker #weddinginspiration #wedding

This is us!

Hello! My name is Ben Libby, and I am the owner of Graphic Formation, LLC, an event videography business out of Des Moines, IA. My wife, Lauren, and I have lived in Des Moines since August of 2015. Ben graduated on May 1st, 2019 with his Robotics and Control Systems Engineering Technology, AAS degree from Des Moines Area Community College. Lauren graduated on May 24th, 2019 with her Doctorate of Physical Therapy, DPT degree from Des Moines University.

In March of 2018, we had the opportunity to film a wedding โ€œfor fun,โ€ and we absolutely loved it. After that, we decided to invest in some real equipment and start our own videography business that following May. We are an epic husband and wife duo eager to show our easy-going, fun, and cinematic film services. Iโ€™ve been making videos for many years unprofessionally, and am excited and proud to display my work professionally now. Here at Graphic Formation, LLC, we favor videos with a cinematic feel that help produce emotions that were felt during the time of filming; we strive to achieve this while capturing events like: weddings, receptions, business advertisements, and other local events.
