Working with Digital Purpose Co. for our wedding videography was SUCH a gift. From the moment we first spoke with Derek, we felt immediately comfortable and excited to work with him. When it came to the actual wedding day, he (and Sam) were so easy to be with. They were professional, kind, joyful and wove into our day effortlessly. I totally forgot that we were being filmed for 8 hours straight. When we actually received our wedding video — we laughed, we cried, we cheered! We were blown away by the beauty of the footage and his ability to capture the joy and the sacred all in one. Not to mention everything from the stunning drone shots to our family members dancing it up! He put our whole wedding day experience into about a 7-minute film, which was astounding. We watch the video all of the time and we love seeing aspects of the day we missed because we were busy getting married. I can’t imagine not having this video.
Thank you Digital Purpose Co. for the magic you wove for us. We are incredibly grateful.

We can’t recommend Derek and Sam enough. Prompt, professional and friendly. They successfully captured the day’s best moments. We barely knew they were there but appreciated the direction they offered when they did. We only asked for one minor change to the final video which was done swiftly. Couldn’t have asked for a better crew. Highly recommended!

High class, high quality! Amazing to work with from start to finish!

Derek and Sam did an incredible job capturing our wedding day! We received our highlight video just a month later, and it was absolute perfection and a beautiful way to relive our special day. He incorporated the best moments, including drone footage of our venue and it was just so well done. On wedding day, I barely noticed the pair filming us...which doesn’t SOUND like a good thing, but I can assure you it was for numerous reasons. I can be quite awkward when I know I’m on camera for anything, so the fact that I forgot/didn’t notice I was being followed around was perfect! You are just truly yourself when you don’t have a lens right in your face! I can’t say enough good things - just check their work and see for yourself. Aside from their skills behind the camera/editing, they are such friendly, nice guys and also very professional. You won’t be disappointed if you book Digital Purpose to capture the biggest and happiest day of your life!

We hired Digital Purpose after seeing their work at a wedding we attended. THANK GOD WE DID. Our wedding videos are absolutely amazing and stunning. Not only did Derek get us the videos within two weeks of the event, but he tailored them based on my wife and I’s story. Between the music selection that he recommended and attention to detail, we could not be happier with Digital Purpose. I remember Derek explaining to us that he wants the wedding day to feel “as if my assistant and I are not even there.” We honestly didn’t even notice they were there. Hire Digital Purpose for your wedding. I guarantee you will get an amazing video, exceptional service and communication, and an overall stress-free experience, something hard to find during a wedding.

10/10! Derek and Sam captured our wedding day perfectly. I had been on the fence about having a videographer at our wedding, but after seeing the work of Digital Purpose Co. I knew I had to have one and it needed to be them! I watch our wedding video almost daily and still get chills - the way they captured our day was simply incredible. I would highly recommend hiring Digital Purpose Co. to be with you on your special day so you can relive the memories forever. Thank you for everything Digital Purpose Co.!

Derek & Digital Purpose Co. were amazing to work with and create the most beautiful weddings videos. They caught every special moment of our wedding and we are so pleased with the result! We knew from the start that we absolutely needed to have a videographer, and Digital Purpose Co. were the only ones we considered, having seen their work before we loved the style of videography and the drone footage option. Derek & his team worked with our photographer and venue hosts to make sure they got all the right moments perfectly! We would absolutely, 100% recommend them and so glad that we have these memories to look back on and show our family now and in the future!

I can’t say enough positive things about working with Digital Purpose. By watching their videos, you can clearly see the craftsmanship, attention to detail, and high quality of their product. What is less obvious is just how awesome Derek and Sam were on our wedding day. They were kind, thoughtful, and worked their butts off! They found ways to capture such beautiful moments that we never could have remembered. Additionally, we got married on a hot, muggy June day. After our first look, Derek offered his air conditioned car and my soon to be husband and I climbed in for a much needed cool breath of air before we said “I do.” It’s silly, but it’s one of our favorite memories from the day because it was just us and it gave us a moment to collect ourselves before the ceremony. We are so grateful to Derek and Sam and we will treasure this beautiful video and all the memories from that day forever!

Truthfully, we didn’t intend to hire videographers for our wedding, as it felt like an unnecessary expense. However, after seeing Derek & Sam’s work, we made a last-minute decision to book, and are so grateful that we did. Derek and Sam did an incredible job capturing all the events of our wedding day, as well as some fantastic candid footage. It felt like Derek & Sam were friends and guests at the wedding - not intrusive at all and just all-around fantastic guys to work with. We love watching (and re-watching) the video Derek created, which captures the emotions of the day better than any photos could. We would HIGHLY recommend using Digital Purpose Co. for your wedding or event - you will not regret it!

Where do I even begin? It was a no brainer that I’d use Derek for our video because a) he is a wonderful human being and b) his work is impeccable. My husband and I had a vision for our video and to say it was surpassed would be an understatement. The final product came in a timely manner and captured both of our personalities as well as the fun, emotional, and sentimental moments of our day. Let’s just say we were feeling all the feels. Derek and Sam blended into the day (in the best way possible) and were so professional and relaxed throughout the day. We have watched our video several times already and I don’t think we will stop watching it anytime soon. Derek and Sam do not disappoint. Thank you Digital Purpose!

Derek did our wedding and was so amazing... he caught so many incredible moments and put them together in such a meaningful way. I will always treasure the work he did!
— Emily + Luke

Derek captured our wedding day just beautifully! We cannot stop watching our video over and over, reliving our special moments with friends and family. Derek’s easy-going attitude was exactly what we needed amongst the chaos of it all. We are looking forward to working with Digital Purpose Co. in the future to document life’s milestones.

Derek and Austin were amazing. We could not have loved our videos more. Everyone said leading up to the wedding that you know you will have a good videographer when you don’t notice them on your big day. I did not notice them at all! They were outstanding, professional, but still fun! Days leading up we were in communication and Derek always answered my texts and phone calls! I cannot say enough great things about them and I encourage any newly engaged couple to hire them! They captured our wedding day perfectly and I can’t wait to enjoy their final product years from now!

I don’t even know where to begin I have so many great things to say about Digital Purpose Co. My husband and I stumbled upon Digital Purpose Co at the Lakes Region wedding expo. From the beginning of our wedding planning I said I needed the most perfect videographer. I knew that was Derek when I couldn’t stop watching his videos at the expo. I was so pleased and satisfied to have hired him for my wedding. He is extremely professional and nice. I am so grateful for the work he does. Words cannot describe the quality of the video. It left me speechless and in tears. Thank you so much for the memories!

Derek was a pleasure to work with. Considering all of the potential stressors of a wedding day, it was a relief to work with an individual with experience and professionalism. Derek worked with Jack and I to determine the songs that would fit best with our video and the result was a seamless integration of the two. The two videographers were able to capture some of the most intricate moments of our day. What’s even more exceptional, is that Jack and I hardly remember seeing them as we look back on our day. They blended into the scene while still recording all of the cherished moments.

Derek and Digital Purpose not only did our wedding but I have also been part of 3 other weddings they’ve done and every time they are professional and create an awesome experience!! I watch our wedding video all the time and it’s just my favorite! I am not creative and let Derek pick most of the music and video direction and it was more than I could think of! I also know some of my girlfriends were very specific and he delivered right on their ideas! You just can’t go wrong going with Digital Purpose

I don’t even know where to start in telling you how wonderful Derek was to have at our wedding. The video he put together is sincerely my most favorite memory of the best day of my life. He was incredibly professional and integrated into our day seamlessly. It was so easy for us to be at ease around him and his calm and experienced presence was a big comfort during a day that can sometimes feel very hectic and overwhelming. Derek was able to capture so many special moments of the day that I wasn’t even aware were happening, as well as all the emotion of the biggest and most important parts of the day. He is insanely talented and I was entirely blown away with how wonderful this video turned out. I can say without a doubt that if you are on the fence about doing a video with Digital Purpose, DO IT! It was hands down the best choice we made and I continue to watch my wedding video an embarrassing amount of times. He is a true artist and an absolute joy to work with and his talent allowed us to have the best compilation of everything that made that day so wonderful. Thank you Derek, we are so grateful for you!!

Digital Purpose Co. created our amazing gender reveal video! During the reveal, they were inconspicuous while capturing moments that brought so much meaning to the video. Our video was edited and presented to us the next day! Digital Purpose Co. included their creative spin with editing, graphics, and music. We are so thankful for the amazing reveal video they created. It is something my family will always cherish.

Derek and Digital Purpose did an amazing job filming our wedding! They went above and beyond our expectations and we couldn’t be happier with the video. They had an entire team of videographers equipped with drones catching every angle. Definitely the best in the business. Highly recommend!
— Chelsey + Ryan

They say the one thing couples regret most about their wedding day is not having a videographer, I’m so glad we don’t have that regret. Derek went above and beyond! He captured all the beautiful moments at our wedding. We are so amazed every time we watch our wedding video. Derek is very personable, easy going, and makes you feel so comfortable - so much so that you often forget you’re being recorded. When watching our video he truly captured every detail, every moment, and every emotion so we are able to relive that day over and over again. We feel so honored to have worked with Derek and so thankful to have these beautiful memories forever.
— Kayla + Eric

Derek is awesome! We love our video from our special day. He made the process painless and stress-free. He has a true talent! After seeing our video and being a part of many others, I highly recommend him! You won’t be disappointed!
— Allie + Chris

We can’t speak highly enough of Derek and Digital Purpose. These guys go above and beyond - they are incredibly professional and stealthy (at no point did we feel like we were on a movie set), and they even brought a sparkler and wish lantern along for us to take some special shots. Nothing about their work is generic or stereotypical - we feel that they truly captured our day, and all the emotions and people in it, in such a unique way. Derek is a true artist and we are so lucky that we got to work with him. If you’re on the fence with videography like we initially were, do it, and if you’re considering working with these guys, do it with the confidence that it will be one of your best wedding day decisions: we will be forever grateful that Digital Purpose captured our favorite day and people in such a way that we can relive it again and again.
