Check Your Date Check Your Date Cinematic wedding films built from your own vows, toasts, and the moments you didn't see. By brothers Bill and Joe Peterson.
Now playing: scenes from weddings we've filmed
Check Your DateNo posing. No staging. We stay in the background and capture the real thing: your dad trying not to cry, your grandma's laugh during toasts, the look between you two when you think no one's watching. Couples tell us they forgot we were even there. Then they watch the film and feel the whole day again.
Venues we know by heart: Bavaria Downs. Woodhaven. Willow Brooke Farm. 7 Vines Vineyard. The Minneapolis Event Center. And if yours is new to us, we arrive early and learn the light before the day starts.
“We told him at the end of the day that we honestly felt like he wasn't even there but still captured EVERYTHING!!”Katie B.
We're Bill and Joe. We grew up making terrible home movies together. Now we film weddings, and what we're really filming is family.
Growing up as brothers taught us what matters most. That's why we care so much about getting this right. Your wedding lasts one day. This film lasts forever.
And you'll know exactly who's showing up. Not a rotating crew. A brother who has done this hundreds of times and still loves it.
Yes, we filmed the llamas. We film whatever your day brings.

Most of our couples are surprised by how unobtrusive we are. We capture intimate moments from a comfortable distance, and many guests don't even realize we're filming.
