About Dadcam Rentals

Founded in 2016 by Bryant Neal and Jessica Olson of Nightfox Films, we specialize in hand-picked, bench-tested Sony and JVC camcorders. Based in Jamestown, NY, we ship authentic retro video kits nationwide, providing a hassle-free "instant nostalgia" experience for modern couples.
Behind the Dadcam
Bryant Neal
I've been hooked on cameras and storytelling since 2015. While I spend my weekends filming high-end weddings with Nightfox Films, Dadcam is my passion project for the "home movie" vibe. I'm the tech-savvy one behind the scenes—every camera we ship is personally bench-tested by me to ensure the tape heads are clean and the internal batteries are fresh.
We're based in Jamestown, NY, right in the heart of Chautauqua County. I created Dadcam because I believe every couple deserves to have that grainy, nostalgic footage of their wedding day without having to gamble on an untested eBay camera.
Jessica Olson
Hi! I'm Jess. I've had a camera in my hand since my grandparents started stocking me with disposables as a kid. I moved from Minnesota to Jamestown to start filming weddings with Bryant, and I've never looked back. While Bryant handles the technical side of the cameras, I focus on the experience—making sure your footage delivery is seamless and your Dadcam kit arrives looking perfect.
We're on a mission to settle down in an 1800s homestead with honey bees, but for now, we're dedicated to helping you document your real moments on real tape.
Why trust Dadcam with your wedding?

Every camera undergoes a 10-point technical inspection using professional signal meters to ensure head health and recording stability.
Pro Maintenance
We use climate-controlled storage for all vintage media and perform regular internal battery replacements to prevent field failures.
Everything Included
