Bus-Stop Productions - Waterloo, Iowa

Renting camera gear from Bus Stop has been the best! They have a wide variety of options and more than we could imagine! The biggest perk is picking up the gear in person. Eric and Kevin have been more than helpful when it comes to talking over the equipment before we take it out to use. This last time they were kind enough to show us some other gear they had available and we ended up renting 2 lenses on the spot! Using Bus Stop has made gear rental easier, less intimidating, and more inviting!
Good value too!
We were happy to have the option for this director’s monitor setup on set!

Bus-Stop Productions is one of the fastest growing companies in the Eastern Iowa area. From gorgeous wedding videos to commercials, Eric Benson goes above and beyond for his clients. I always recommend Eric.

Bus Stop Productions does absolutely amazing work. The staff is very friendly and fun to work with. Eric takes amazing photographs and his other staff do an awesome job of putting together a wedding video. I've known Eric for years. I met some of his other staff the weekend of our wedding, but felt like I'd known them for years. Our photos were absolutely gorgeous and our wedding video captured portions of the whole day ranging from getting ready, the first look, pictures, the ceremony, the ride to the reception, the reception, the speeches, the cake cutting, our first dance, and interviewed some of the family and wedding party and provided us with congratulations and well wishes. It was everything I wanted and more. They used the songs we had picked out for our video. Our wedding was three years ago, and every time I look back at our photos and watch our video, I feel like I am reliving the day like it was yesterday. I 100 percent recommend Eric Benson and Bus Stop Productions.

Eric not only photographed our wedding, but he also did our engagement photos, pregnancy announcement, was going to do our maternity pictures except I went into preterm labor and had our daughter before we could get them done, and then he took newborn photos of our daughter.

Do NOT freelance for them, unless you want to work for free. When they reached out to me to help live stream a court case, we agreed on a price and I thought everything would be good. Shortly after the court case, I sent them an invoice and got nothing. A month after I sent the invoice, I reached out and was told they had gear breaking and vehicles breaking down so they couldn't pay me. I waited another month and was then told something was wrong with my invoice. I then edited it to their liking and resent it. That was in February of 2024. Its currently July 2024 and have heard nothing for them. I've reached out numerous times since and they will not reply to me. So, unless you want to work for free, DO NOT FREELANCE FOR THEM!!!

Bus Stop Productions is the only video production company my husband and I will ever use. We have had them document our lives together starting with engagement interviews knowing they would be our wedding videographers. Their ability to capture our special day, while allowing us to experience our day is what we love most about Bus Stop Productions. We felt so at ease and comfortable on our wedding day, we even had Eric and his crew act as the witnesses at our wedding. I still watch my wedding video at least once a month and am overwhelmed by the emotion he was able to capture. We highly recommend Bus-Stop Production's for their filmmaking skills, as well as his dedication, adaptability, creativity and attentiveness to their clients.

Eric and Bus-Stop Productions were amazing to work with! They were funny, friendly, and so professional on our big day. My wife and I just watched the wedding video they made and it brought us to tears all over again! They got the shots we wanted for pictures, we were involved every step of the way with the video, and they put a great cap on an absolutely amazing day! Not to mention, they were affordable and we really got our money's worth. Seriously, they stayed with us all day and got so much footage. I highly, highly, HIGHLY recommend Bus-Stop for any kind of photography or videography. They were the best!

My wife and I used Bus-stop productions to film and produce our wedding Dvd. Not only did they exceed expectations they also became very good friends. A very fun and professional staff that has a great eye for detail. They have all of the best equipment to produce their videos, you would swear it was a Hollywood production! Not only can they handle your videos they also handle photography! Everyone on the staff is an artist when it comes to photography and videography! Please look into Bus-stop productions for your wedding or any other event you want photographed and filmed!

Bus-Stop productions did an amazing job with our wedding video. They gave 100% effort the entire day and even came the day before to check out the venue and church. We could not have asked for a better end product or company to work with! We had two videographers shoot our wedding, that way they could include shots from multiple angles and not miss a moment of our special day. It was definitely worth it! They were so fun to work with and cared about every detail that WE wanted to be in our wedding video. Plus, the "price was right" and highly affordable for our wedding budget, especially with the professional quality of Bus-Stop Productions videographers and video editors. They made the video fit "us" and our own personalities, which is one thing I greatly appreciated. I would recommend Bus-Stop Productions to any couple to have capture their wedding day!
