Coeur d'Alene Wedding Videographer

Twenty minutes from the lake.

I'm Luke Hegelund, and Take One Visuals is based in Post Falls, about twenty minutes from downtown Coeur d'Alene. That means no travel fee, it means we can meet over coffee instead of a video call, and it means that if your ceremony moves up an hour I'm not stuck on I 90 coming in from another state.

I also know what the lake does to light. Golden hour on the water in late July is a different problem than golden hour in a field, and your timeline should be built around it.

North Idaho venues I've filmed or I'm booked at

• Twinlow Camp & Conference CenterRathdrum
• The Blackwell Boutique HotelCoeur d'Alene
• St. Thomas Catholic ChurchCoeur d'Alene
• Settlers CreekCoeur d'Alene

More of my delivered work sits on the Washington side of the border right now, just because that's where the bookings came from first. The North Idaho calendar is filling in fast. If you want to see work from a venue I haven't filmed yet, ask me and I'll tell you straight.

Church and Catholic ceremonies

A lot of North Idaho weddings happen in a church, and churches come with rules. I've filmed a full Catholic cathedral ceremony, so I already know to stay well off the communion ramp and to clear the plan with the parish ahead of time instead of at the door. If you're getting married at St. Thomas or another parish, I'll handle that conversation for you.

What it costs

Three packages, and I'd love to customize one if none of them quite fit your day.

• Ceremony, $1,000. Up to 2 hours. Your full ceremony uncut, with clean audio from the vows.
• Ceremony & Reception, $1,400. Up to 5 hours. A 2 to 5 minute highlight film, first dances and speeches uncut, and drone when the weather allows.
• Full Day, $2,000. Up to 10 hours. Getting ready through the last dance, plus a 5 to 10 minute film.
• Raw footage, add $200. All the raw footage from the day on a thumb drive.

No travel fee anywhere in North Idaho. Coeur d'Alene, Hayden, Rathdrum, Post Falls and Sandpoint are all inside my home service area. I only charge travel past a two hour drive.

How it goes

• We talk first. Over coffee or a phone call, before anything gets signed.
• Fast turnaround. Past couples have watched a highlight the same night at their reception, and the full film follows in about two weeks.
• Drone over the lake when it's legal. Included when the weather and airspace allow, though it's worth raising early since parts of the shoreline are restricted.
• One free revision round. Included on every edited video.
