Capturing Moments You’ll Relive for a Lifetime

Capturing special moments in time through video and photography is more than our job — it’s our passion. Every laugh, tear, vow, and quiet in-between moment tells a story, and we consider it an honor to preserve those memories for you and future generations.
We bring an abundance of creativity, technical expertise, and storytelling experience to every project we are involved in. From intimate ceremonies to large destination celebrations, we approach every wedding with care and intention.

Every Couple Is Unique — Your Film Should Be Too

We believe no two couples are the same, which is why we customize every wedding film and photo collection to reflect your personality, style, and love story. Your wedding video isn’t a template — it’s a one-of-a-kind keepsake designed to feel personal, emotional, and true to you.
Whether you’re planning a wedding in Des Moines, elsewhere in Iowa, or at a breathtaking destination, our team works closely with you to ensure your vision comes to life.

Let’s Create Something Meaningful Together

We are deeply passionate about what we do and would love the opportunity to work with you. If you’re looking for a wedding videographer or photographer who values storytelling, creativity, and genuine connection, Stang Films would be honored to be part of your day.

Read a Few of Our Rave Reviews

I looked for months to find a videographer that wasn't $6,000+ and still good quality. Rick and Alan were fantastic. They produced our preview video (3 minutes) in 2-3 weeks and our extended preview (8 minutes) and full video (1hr) in 7 weeks. We absolutely love our videos. Book them and you won't regret it!
