About Kota Video Productions
Kota Video Productions
I am Dakotah with Kota Video. I started this company with a passion for storytelling and it has grown into something I am incredibly proud of. I love filming weddings and capturing such special moments and the reactions I get from couples makes everything worth it. Packages are customizable to your vision! Kota Video will never farm out your wedding to other unknown shooters. Kota Video is owned and operated by Dakotah Douglas and partners with talented photographers to give you the best possible experience for your special day. With 80+ 5-Star reviews across Google and Zola, we look forward to hearing from you.
I have developed a keen eye for storytelling over nearly 10 years of practice. I know what shots to get and dynamically add new ones for each location I shoot at. I know when and where to be at all times. This shines through in the editing room where it all comes together. We are friendly to couples of all races, ethnicities, gender identity, and sexual preference.

Amazing and Professional!!
Dokatah was EXCELLENT! He was an absolute professional from the very beginning, and throughout all the craziness of our wedding day he was cool as a cucumber. He worked great with us and with our photographer, which we have heard is not always the case. And his work speaks for itself! Watch his samples and you’ll see: you’re in great hands.
Incredible job
Kota Video Productions was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding videography. From our very first interaction, he was incredibly professional, welcoming, and experienced. He took the time to understand our vision and preferences, and their attention to detail was evident in the beautiful, artistic, and meaningful footage he captured. Kota Video Productions beautifully documented all the special moments of our wedding day, ensuring we will cherish those memories for a lifetime. We couldn't be happier with the final product and highly recommend his services to any couple planning their big day.
Amazing, on-point videographer
Dakotah was such a delight to work with. He was on top of the schedule and made sure to check in with us about getting the videos we wanted to have, even when things got shifted around with timing. He was caring, open to pivoting, and went above and beyond for us. He sent us an amazing group of videos. The highlight video was 10 minutes long, but it didn't feel that way at all. The thought and effort he put into what he sent us was apparent and palpable. It was beautiful and wonderfully heartfelt. We are grateful to him and so so glad we decided to work with him on our special day.
A lot of Bang for Your Buck
Kota Video Productions was a pleasure to work with for our wedding video. Their communication style is blunt, direct, and effective, which I appreciated as it helped us align on expectations. The quality of their work is valuable, affordable, and professional. Kota Productions filmed various aspects of our wedding, capturing personal moments we can cherish forever. They also conducted fun guest interviews that were a blast to watch after the fact. Kota Productions is flexible in the execution but is also honest about what is needed to bring your vision to life. I highly recommend their services to any couple looking for a talented and reliable wedding videography team.
