Janae + Co Productions

  • Serves Story City, IA

Hi there! My name is Janae Erickson, I’m the owner and founder of Janae + Co Productions. I have carefully selected a team to help me accomplish the truly beautiful work that we produce. My favorite thing about my job is capturing special moments that won't ever happen again. It's such an amazing feeling every time I look back at everything I captured & how beautiful it turns out. I'm constantly learning & improving and it is so so so rewarding.

“We came upon Janae very unexpectedly. After our wedding photographer cancelled on us 18 days before our wedding, Janae reached out and got us booked with her right away. Having never met her, knowing next to nothing about her business, or anything, we were kind of nervous. Our impressions quickly changed. Janae was so kind, helpful, considerate, and overall just so pleasant to work with. She had asked us a few questions before hand to get to know us and our style, which was so amazing! We had never had a photographer do this and it showed how much she cared. We received MULTIPLE compliments about her the day of our wedding from our family and guests. She went all out, including laying in the grass at a nature conservation center to get us our “Pinterest perfect shot”. We received tons of the most beautiful pictures we had ever seen. We seriously couldn’t have asked for a better photographer for our special day, especially so last minute. We highly recommend her, as she will definitely be our family photographer from here on out.”

We’re so grateful we chose Press Record Co for our wedding video! My husband and I had an intimate wedding where we didn't feel the need to spend thousands on a videographer as well as our photographer. We rented a camcorder from Press Record Co & created us a dreamy, beautiful video from the footage. The final result was heartfelt, high-quality, and captured the spirit of our day so perfectly—it truly brought tears to our eyes. It had a bit of each of our family members which meant so much to us.

Paul Hairston is an award winning and nation-wide wedding, documentary and commercial filmmaker for over 13 years. He loves anything and everything about human storytelling and creating impact through the medium of film. He strives to capture your special day with earnestness, trust and top shelf visuals. Throughout his career he has worked to blend vérité filmmaking with a production value those stories and emotions deserve, while never getting in your way. Providing painterly and elegant coverage with an unobtrusive but attentive presence that documents every unique detail is Paul’s goal with every film.

Paul and his assistant were absolutely amazing. I actually found him when googling videographers in my area and LOVED all his work as I could tell he took true pride in his films and caught all the little details of the weddings he videoed. When setting up a meeting, I realized he actually lived 4 hours away from me... BUT that didn't stop him! He was willing to travel with his assistant for a VERY cheap price and was there the whole time. He actually asked ME if he could come earlier to ensure he got all the little details on camera and capture every minute of us getting ready, etc. He was quick to respond throughout the whole planning process prior to the big day as well. Paul was in school for cinematography at the time which is very evident in his work as you can tell that film is his true passion in life through his work. We had no idea he was even there and he stayed until the very end (little did I know) to ensure he captured everything on film. As most brides (and grooms) do, we put a LOT of planning into our big days and a lot of thought into every single little detail. Of course your own wedding day is such a blur you never even get to appreciate all your hard work... but thanks to Paul, I am able to see every little part of the wedding from the place settings to all the little signs we had everywhere. He did an amazing job capturing every moment and I love my highlight film. Thanks to him, I get to witness and relive what was my dream wedding over and over again... I knew I wanted to hire him when his highlight films of complete strangers brought me to tears! He is now videoing my brother's wedding and a family friends... So Yes.... I HIGHLY recommend him :)"
