We absolutely loved working with Donovan and Meagan! They did both our photos and video and the results were so far beyond expectations! You can tell they worked so hard on both aspects and that's so appreciated. To say I'm obsessed with the photos and our video is an understatement! The communication leading up was great and we felt like we had a plan going into the wedding day. They're amazing to work with and are the best hype couple...I would recommend them to anyone who is looking for photography and/or videography!
We HIGHLY recommend Donavan with Twelve One Projects for all of our wedding video needs.
He was so attentive from booking, pre wedding, wedding day, and after. He was so quick to deliver the highlight from our day which was very appreciative. We are BLOWN AWAY by the amount of detail he put into our videos. We also loved how personable, calm, and funny he is!
Thank you for videoing our wedding day in June! We appreciate everything you did for us!
Love, the Gales.
Groom review here - first want to set the stage that my wife loves photos and even before engagement photo shoot I thought photos were going to be a drag on the wedding day. I was 100% wrong. Donovan and Meagan made photos so easy and fun for me (and of course wife loved every minute too). When I think back on the big day, the time taking photos was actually a highlight of the day. Best part is, there are photos of these moments to remember them for ever. Donovan was extremely thorough in planning the day so we went into the day with zero stress about photos, and he was incredibly fluid in seeing and capturing moments throughout the day. Thank you both for capturing our day and making it so fun!
Donovan was GREAT to work with. He made all of my video dreams come to life. Rewatching the video was everything and he made the day so easy. He was so fun and interacted with all of our bridal party and guests like he knew them. He made the day very stress free and his work to show for it is amazing.
Donovan was fantastic! He was very fun and worked great with our photographer and her team. He has a great sense of humor and personality and made filming fun. Also, he had some great ideas that turned out amazing. For instance, our wedding was in a vineyard and he got an amazing shot of us running through the vines with his drone. Really great video. He has great vision and knows how to make a special video. Also, he got us our “trailer” video very quickly!
We loved working with Donovan for our wedding videography! Our videos (full-length ceremony, highlight, and teaser) are so well shot and put together, and Donovan was such an amazing hype man who helped us through the entire process of our wedding day. He adds 0 stress to your day and gives you one of the best keepsakes you'll ever have. 11/10 absolutely recommend.
Donovan did both our video and photos with his wife Megan and they are awesome! They were both super excited to be there but still very chill/easy to work with. They were open to my ideas but also had some really great creative ideas too that I wouldn’t have ever thought of doing, but they worked! We got a sneak peak of about 30 pictures the day after the wedding and they are amazing! So many people have complimented on how beautiful they are. I fully plan on using them for more photography sessions beyond the wedding!
We hired Twelve One Projects for our wedding videography and photography. I am so happy with all of our photos and our video! Donovan is SO easy to work with. He responds very quickly to every text or email, and he is super friendly and down to earth. He and Meagan arrived right on time the morning of our wedding and worked their butts off all day capturing every moment they could. Going through our photo gallery brought me to tears many times because Donovan captured so many special moments and emotions. Donovan sent us some sneak peak photos within a few days following the wedding, and we received our video and the full photo gallery in just under two months, which is a fantastic turnaround. I highly recommend booking Twelve One Projects! I'm so grateful for all of their hard work.
Videography was one of the harder vendors for me to choose. Twelve One Projects was recommended to me by a friend, because she knew they had captured her cousin's wedding. I watched the first 30 seconds of one of Twelve One Projects Videos and I immediately was aw struck. Donovan was great to work with right from the start. He was always helpful with payments and answering questions. Come wedding day he did such an amazing job capturing the love we felt between each other and from everyone else. I HIGHY recommend Twelve One Projects. I am so happy with my video, it is a wonderful way to relive that day over and over. It is beautiful in every way. I could go on and on about how wonderful every part of this experience was! I would use them again and again, and will recommend them to anyone who asks!!
I HIGHLY recommend hiring Twelve One to capture your special day (+ other life events too)! Donovan and Megan are OUTSTANDING to work with. Up front, my husband was not super fond of the idea of having a videographer but now he can't stop talking about how awesome the experience was! If you are on the fence about hiring a videographer, just do it! You wont regret hiring these two because they are SUPER TALENTED and their HIGH ENERGY makes your day that much better! I will definitely be using Twelve One for future life events that occur! I can't thank you two enough!! A+++!
Just go watch Donovan’s videos, but make sure you have tissues handy! He is a true artist and you can just tell he loves what he does. Again, he is personable, reliable, responsive, and made us feel comfortable all day. We had a lot of fun being the stars of our own movie. We got our teaser on Monday after we got married and I cannot wait to see the finished products! If anyone is on the fence about spending the money on video, Donovan is well worth it!
I don’t even know where to start with my experience with Twelve One Projects. If I could give 10 stars, I would.
From the very beginning, Donovan offered his phone number and began making an instant connection with us (and my mom). He quickly became close to us. His personality and eagerness to get to know us and our vision made this process so easy.
Right before the big day, he called and asked all of the important details, the first looks, bridal party size, timing, music type, what vibe we wanted our video to give, etc.
They showed up early and were all smiles! During the day he was great at reminding us about our time limits as most newlyweds are warned, the time goes by so fast and you forget what’s going on. Since it was important for us to be respectful of their time and ours, we valued that they did this.
Twelve One did more than a remarkable job. They captured all of the moments that we want to remember. We will forever cherish the memories that Twelve One gave us and we will continue to rave about their amazing ness.
Thank you Donovan and Meagan!
Can't say enough great things about this company/these people! We loved having Donovan with us to celebrate our day and we had so many compliments from our wedding party and family about how great he was to work with. We had a crazy quick turn around for our sneak peeks & videos and have watched them so many times because they are so beautiful. Some of the best money we spent on our wedding hands down!
Donovan and Meagan are amazing! I would recommend them 100% . Not only do they connect with you before the wedding through social media and conversation they are just as personable to everyone in the wedding party on the day of. Their work is perfection! We felt like we were working with a friend we had known our whole life! They absolutely kill it!!!
both donovan and megan, are such a beautiful people, but also so fun to work with, i knew instantly the first time i met donovan he would exceed all my expectations, and when i tell you he went above and beyond..,he truly went above and beyond! i couldn’t have chose a better duo to help capture such great moments on our wedding day, currently still in awe and constantly watching our sneak peak and teaser. i already know what to expect from the highlight video, if it is anything like our sneak peak and teaser i can anticipate it being top tier fuego 🔥🔥🔥 ahaha! THANK YOU BOTH!! we are so blessed to have you be there with us ❤️, we truly can’t thank you enough! 🙌🏽🙏🏽
i don’t know how to put stars on this thing but :
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
they deserve well over 5 stars!!
We are so blessed that we were able to have Twelve One Projects capture our day and create videos that we can watch for a lifetime. 10/10 would recommend them to anyone who is getting married. I think the best part is that Donovan & Meagan don’t just view the day as “work.” They take the time to get to know each couple before the big day and they join in on the fun. They are so talented at what they do and the videos exceeded my expectations. 😍🥰
Let's see, exactly how many times have my husband and I watched our 5 minute highlight video we got from Donovan? We are obsessed with his work and literally cannot wipe the smiles off our faces. Donovan is so personable before the wedding that when we officially met the day of, I felt like we were already best friends. This made the videography piece of our day so fun and stress free. Donovan is amazing! His work is amazing! Highly, strongly, 100% recommend him!
We LOVED working with Twelve One Videography! They are great at covering every detail leading up to your big day to make sure that they not only get all of the shots that you want, but they also know how to make a video that will help you cherish those wedding moments forever! My husband and I were on the fence about getting a videographer but we are so glad we went with Twelve One and we will definitely watch our video for years to come!!
W.O.W. First of all, Donovan & Meagan came to Southern IA in a BLIZZARD for us! Talk about dedication & commitment to us! We are so thankful they were able to make it safely!! Second of all, they got us some live footage the NEXT DAY! And we got our highlight video just a week later! They put so much time into our video so we could get it as soon as we could! They did an OUTSTANDING job getting all the real emotions throughout the day, all the tears & laughs. They captured our first look, the first kiss & everything in between. Even the cutting of the cake! It was such a perfect day for us & now we can relive it through the amazing video they did for us! I would reccomend them to ANYONE! They are so good to work with & the videos are amazing! We loved our experiences with Twelve One Videopgraphy!
Twelve One Videography went above and beyond my expectations. They were so easy to work with, brought a calming presence, and added a little extra fun to our day. They are worth every penny we paid them and we will treasure our videos forever!
Twelve One is a TOP NOTCH videography company. Hands down - my best decision during wedding planning! They are so creative and captured our day perfectly. They are so down to earth and made us feel like a million bucks! I love how they tailor each video to match the couple and the essence of their special day. They put so much time and love into what they do. They truly go above and beyond. I was on the fence whether it was a ‘necessity’ for the wedding. I am SO THANKFUL I made the leap to book them. A video captures so many feelings and moments from the day that photography alone cannot. Twelve One is the BEST of the best! Xo
Last summer, I met a couple that the husband (Chris) was dying of cancer. His wish was to gift his wife a vow renewal before he passed. He was 39 years old with two small children. I began quickly planning this ceremony that was to be in a few short weeks in my backyard. I was planning on over 100 people. I had reached out on Facebook for a little help with music and photography and could not imagine a videographer. Not long after, I received a message from Donovan. A personal message. He wanted to help. He wanted to do what he could for this family. He was completely in, 100% volunteering his services. I could not breathe for a second as it was a dream come true for everyone. Donovan was also to be a new daddy any day. He committed anyway. He worked with the couple ahead of time as they planned some very special surprises for one another. He was a true gentleman from the time he came into my home to the time he left on wedding day. He was incredibly professional and considerate of the couple, family, my home including the other vendors. They all seamed to know one another well, that is how amazing this day was. He not only took the most amazing videos of this couple and this entire dream day, he gave a wife and mom of two little babies their daddy's presence, voice, a wifes promises and dance moves along side each one of them. Donovan gave them a gift of forever life in a few hours of his own selfless heart and incredible talent. The Meyer family will have this footage of love for all time. Shortly before the renewal, Donovan and his beautiful wife Meghan were blessed with their second son. He had to have been sleep deprived when he showed up but you would never have guessed it. Four weeks and one day after the vow renewal our friend Chris was eternally cancer and pain free. + Thank you again Donovan. God Bless you and your business. You are one giving, kind and talented angel, husband and daddy. xo
HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! Donovan and Meghan are truely amazing to work with! They make everything so much fun! The videos that we received were amazing!
Working with Twelve One as another wedding vendor was a blast! They are such amazing and hilarious people! I can’t say I have ever enjoyed working beside another vendor on a wedding day as I have them!! You won’t regret choosing them for capturing your day in motion! They absolutely love what they do and it shows, their work is proof! ❤️
My husband and I are soo happy we chose Twelve One Videography to capture all the moments of our special day. We had a blast working with Donovan and we could tell that he really loves what he does and wants to make sure he gets what the couple wants! You will not be disappointed. We absolutely love our videos!
I loved working with Twelve One Videography for our wedding. Donovan and Meagan are SO fun and do amazing work. Our videos are something my family and I will cherish always. We could not love them more! It was Donovan and Meagan’s idea to have our dogs do a first look and run to us and it was one of the cutest moments of the day. We are so thankful that’s Twelve One was apart of our special day :)
These guys not only do amazing work, but also are great to work with! They listen to you opinion and feedback and want to make YOUR day as special as possible. Worth every penny!
5 out of 5 stars, would recommend Twelve One Videograpy to anyone!! Having a videographer was something I knew I wanted for our wedding from the very beginning, and I’m SOO glad we chose Twelve One! Donovan and Meagan had so many ideas on the day of to make our video even more special. They made everyone feel comfortable and were so fun to work with. I’ve had so many compliments on our video because it makes everyone cry, happy tears of course! BEST PART—you start getting sneak peaks within days. If you’re thinking about possibly wanting a videographer, CHOOSE THEM. You will not regret it. THANK YOU for everything ❤️
We highly recommend Twelve One Videography! Not only will you receive the best memento of your wedding day, you will leave with two new friends. Donovan and Megan truly care and pour everything they have into making your wedding day video unique and personalized.
If I could give 10 I would. You will not be disappointed using Twelve One. Unique and fun. Capturing moments and putting to music you totally forgot happened. A keepsake to be treasured.
Donovan was born to capture memories! He is wonderful to work with, very outgoing and able to instruct, guide to get the perfect clips! I absolutely LOVE his work and would recommend him to my closest family, friends or colleagues. He and Meagan are very genuine and have a passion for what the do and it shows!
Amazing Wedding Videography! Donovan and Megan are experts at what they do, and they really helped put us at ease and enjoy our day. The end result was AMAZING! I would highly recommend using Twelve One Videography.
I don’t even know where to begin with Donovan and Meagan! They were amazing to work with on our big day, but even before our big day Donovan was huge help in organizing and helping me feel comfortable and excited to meet him and his wife!
Donovan and Meagan make a GREAT team and are so fun to work with!! Everyone immediately felt comfortable around them and shared laughs instantly with the Carboney’s. They were extremely professional throughout the day and had AMAZING ideas with what they wanted to capture. They were great at letting my husband and I feel all of our emotions and be in the moment, while they made sure to capture it and continued to let us live in the moment. My entire family fell in love with Donovan and Meagan, before we even saw their work!! Once we received the wedding teaser videos and our 6 minute video EVERYONE was in tears! We are so wrapped up in the day that we miss out on so much, we are so blessed that Donovan and Meagan didn’t miss a beat and didn’t miss out on anything to allow us to relive our special day, everyday if we want to! 💕 I can’t say enough good things about Donovan and Meagan, we are so blessed for all of the videos that we have now to hold on to forever, but also for our friendships that we have also gained! Hope to see you in the future at my sister’s wedding!! We love you guys! ❤️❤️
We used Twelve One for our wedding and it was the best decision we ever made! I cannot say enough great things about Donovan and the work he does! We have had tons of compliments on our videos! We have even had tons of compliments from family and friends on how awesome it was to work with Donovan! He does beautiful work and truly enjoys getting to know the couple & their families and friends! If you are looking for a videographer, look no further! HIGHLY RECOMMENEDDS!!
HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
I was in a friends wedding a couple years ago that used Twelve One Videography. After being around Donovan and Meagan that day, I knew I would want to use them in the future. After our engagement, one thing my fiance requested was a Same Day Edit (SDE) video to play at our reception and Donovan offered that service. From the previous wedding I was in, I knew Donovan and Meagan did great work, but we were truly blown away by how amazing our SDE and Highlight videos were. I cannot even count how many compliments we have received on that video. It was so special to show our guests our day leading up to the ceremony and Donovan and Meagan captured it perfectly. We could not be more impressed!
Aside from their incredible work, Donovan and Meagan are the nicest, sweetest, most down to earth people you could hope to work with and will treat you as friends rather than clients.
Where to even begin with this review. Donovan and Meagan with Twelve One Videography were nothing short of amazing. They truly became a part of the family as they captured all the special memories of our big day. The videos they created are beyond beautiful and far exceeded what I had hoped for. Thank you so much Donovan and Meagan!!

Twelve One Videography helped my husband pull off an amazing surprise on our wedding day! He booked them last minute without me knowing and what a surprise it was on our big day! Twelve One does an amazing job of getting to know the couple and those around them, and including everyone! We had quite a few guys that normally don’t even like having their pictures taken, and Donovan had them laughing, joking, and smiling! The editing is amazing, and I couldn’t be happier with the work Twelve One did on our wedding day! Our day was extremely laid back, and Twelve One helped us keep it that way! If you’re looking for a wedding videographer, I 100% recommend them!
Donovan and Meagan were absolutely wonderful to work with for my wedding on April 14, 2018!
They were professional and creative. They took so many great shots and made beautiful videos. Donovan sent us our videos quickly and each one perfectly captured our special day.
Every single person in our families and in our wedding party commented on how much they loved working with Donovan and Meagan. They were so much fun and upbeat. We were all very comfortable with them and by the end of the night it felt like we were all old friends.
For anyone looking for a videographer, check out Twelve One Videography! I highly recommend them!
Donovan and Meagan did an awesome and I can’t thank them enough!! Everything turned out better than we could ever imagine.
Twelve One was incredible to work with from the first time we made contact with each other. They not only worked so well with us but also worked so well with the other vendors, and made us feel at ease from the start while providing us with a lifetime of memories that we wouldn't otherwise be able to relive over and over. Thank you so much for your hard work and dedication to our big day!
Donavan did a great job helping me and wide with our special day. Between the laughs he gave us and the video he made for us, the memories will last a life time. Could not be more pleased with how our video turned out. Donovan and his wife were very accommodating with everything we wanted. Don't choose any ONE else but TWELVE ONE videography!!
I can't thank Donovan and Meagan enough for capturing so many special moments on our wedding day and putting them into such a beautiful video that will be treasured forever. They were super easy to work with and were even able to make someone as reserved as myself feel comfortable in front of the camera. Highly recommend them! (PS- They went above and beyond and even made the bed and cleaned up the hotel room when the housekeeper at the hotel didn't clean the room in time for the bridal party to get ready!)
My husband and I went back and forth between getting a videographer and not getting one. After talking to Donovan, he convinced me instantlh I needed one and I am so thankful for that and him. He captured our day and the teaser video and the highlight film were amazing. So many different settings and moments were captured and my husband and I absolutely loved it . We still watch it till this day. Donovan made our day better and always had a positive attitude and could make all of us laugh and enjoy the moment that much more. So thankful he captured our day. By far the highlight of our wedding was the videos!
Twelve One is absolutely amazing at capturing your special day! Donovan is so easy to work with! He’s like the best friend you just met, I was so comfortable with him around all day! He’s super fun and has great ideas to get the best shot! They were able to give us a 7 minute video a week after we were married! It was so great to see our day relived because it’s so hard to remember everything! You will not be disappointed with Twelve One, they do a beautiful job!
We used twelve one videography for our wedding and it was the best decision ever!!! They did a great job at getting to know us as a couple and what personal touches we wanted captured on our big day. Their editing style is amazing and we couldn't be happier with the finished product! 100% reccomend twelve one videography to anyone wanting to capture the memories of their wedding in a video you'll want to watch on repeat all day!!
