Cinematic wedding photography — Tethered Light Productions
Our Story

Two Creatives. One Vision.

Joey and Michelle Burt are the husband-and-wife team behind Tethered Light Productions. A cinematic photography and videography studio rooted in Council Bluffs IA and Omaha NE.

We Believe Every Love Story Deserves a Cinematic Frame

Tethered Light Productions was born from a shared obsession with light, emotion, and authentic storytelling. We don't just document your day, we craft a visual narrative that captures the feeling of it. The quiet glance before the ceremony. The laughter that erupts unexpectedly. The last slow dance. These are the moments that matter, and we are relentless in our pursuit of them.

We are serious about your story. And your experience.
