Wedding Videography at Galena Lodge
Galena Lodge is a day lodge owned and operated by the Blaine County Recreation District, set in the Boulder Mountains roughly 23 miles north of Ketchum and the Sun Valley resort area. Evening rentals of the lodge are available for private events, with catering arranged through the venue, and the property's Senate Meadows serves as its signature outdoor ceremony site, with Galena Peak rising behind it and Senate Creek running along the meadow's edge. This is one of the more remote wedding settings in the Sun Valley region, well removed from the resort towns below.
For wedding cinematography, Senate Meadows offers what few Idaho venues can: a true wildflower alpine meadow with a named peak as a direct backdrop, rather than a curated garden dressed to look natural. The wide, open meadow lets a camera pull back far enough to show real mountain scale behind a ceremony, while Senate Creek adds moving water and sound to close-up coverage along the meadow's edge. The lodge's rustic timber interior gives evening reception footage a warm, cabin-like counterpoint to the open daytime exteriors.
The Boulder Mountains sit at meaningful elevation, so weather and temperature swing more than in the valley towns below, and wildflower bloom timing in Senate Meadows is worth checking directly with the lodge when setting a date. Film House Weddings films nationally and would be honored to film your wedding at Galena Lodge.

How much does a luxury wedding videographer cost at Galena Lodge?
Every Film House Weddings package is custom built for the couple, the venue, and the wedding day. Reach out through our Connect page and we will build a proposal tailored to your wedding.
How far in advance should we book?
We recommend 9 to 18 months for peak season (May through October).
What is included in a wedding film package?
We build a custom package for every couple based on your vision and your wedding day. Typically, every client receives a 5 to 7 minute cinematic wedding film and a reel. Our team works directly with your planner and photographer to ensure seamless coverage from getting ready through the last dance.
Do you work with our photographer and wedding planner?
Absolutely. Coordination with your vendor team is a core part of our process. We work directly with your planner and photographer before and during the wedding day to make sure everyone is in sync and no moment is missed.
Do you offer drone videography?
Yes. Drone coverage is available as an add-on, coordinated with local airspace rules and any venue restrictions.
How long until we receive our wedding film?
Delivery timelines are discussed during the proposal stage and depend on the season and edit scope. Expedited delivery is available if you need your film sooner. Let us know during the booking conversation and we will build a timeline that works for you. Final films are delivered digitally via a private link.
Do you provide raw footage?
Raw footage is available on request as an add-on. Most couples do not request it, since our edited cinematic film, reel, and optional full ceremony and speeches edit capture everything that matters. If raw footage is important to you, let us know during the proposal conversation and we will include it in your custom package.
Will you provide a second shooter?
Our standard package is filmed by a two-person team. Additional shooters are available as an add-on.
