We celebrated 5 years on May 4 last Saturday 🥰 no place I would rather be 💛
Hey friends! We’re Tim & Andrea, the feet behind Barefoot Films 👣✌🏼 For those of old who have faithfully followed us, thank you! For those who have freshly hopped on board the Barefoot train, thank you!!
Here are a couple fun facts to go with these photos so you know who TimAndrea is:
1) This picture is just fun and I like it. (Algonquin Canoe Trip 2023) We LOVE adventures. 🛶
2) We love to travel and one way we do that is via tandem. 🚲(Phoenix—>Las Vegas Bikepacking Trip 2021)
3) We love backpacking!!! 🥾🏕️(Lost Creek Wilderness, Colorado 2021) One time I (Andrea) got really scared cause I thought there was a bear. Really it was just Tim’s whiskers scratching against his jacket while he breathed.
4) We love telling people’s stories from around the world and share how God is working in their lives. (Cause we also love Jesus and love telling His story!!) ✝️ (Nicaragua 2019)
5) We bought a town hall in 2022 and turned it into our home 🧱
6) Tim has been working with his dad since he was a kid and like his dad is extremely talented in construction, carpentry, and now electrical as he learned to be able to rewire our house!
7) I work 1 day a week at the local coffee shop (the avenue through which Tim & I met) and I. LOVE. IT.
8) Tim hates coffee. ❌
9) Tim’s big into biking.
10) I’m big into running. (But we both enjoy both)
This is our story.
2/25/18 - 5/4/23
👫🏼Met 2•25•18
💍Engaged 12•21•18
💒 Married 5•4•19
🏠 First day in our town hall home 12•28•23
This year, the night before our anniversary while Tim was gone for a couple hours, I thought, “What the heck. I’m gonna try to throw together a “quick” video of our 5 years together to surprise Tim tomorrow.”
While it may not be perfect due to the fact that “throwing together” a recap of the past 5 years of our lives in just a couple hours is actually not as easy as it sounds, I am so excited to share it.
It’s not a clean, polished edit by any means, but it’s finally a version of our “wedding video” we never got around to editing.
I am so grateful to our God who is the author of this story we get to share. And it was so amazing for me to see while editing how some of the vows Tim promised are being lived out today ❤️ (specifically at 7:18 in the video)
What an adventure it has been so far. What a great honor it is to be your wife, Tim Schwan.
I have never cried more at a wedding. (I’m serious. Not even at my own.)
I have never been hit so hard with a tsunami of memories that date all the way back to the very first thing I can remember about my life.
Hannah was one of my very first friends—a sister who has been a part of 23/24 years of my life on this earth.
To be able to tell her and Aaron, her absolutely incredibly amazing now husband’s story is such a gift. I thank God so much He has given us this career to be able to tell not just important stories of couples, but of the people we love, cherish, and have known for our whole lives. It is a privilege and honor. 🤍
Here is the 2 minute teaser because we know how I struggle with leaving things out.

We Got to Film My Close Childhood Friend’s Wedding 🥺🤍• Auburn TWP, OH
I absolutely could not choose one highlight, so here are a few from this day:
- One of my long time closest friends found the guy who brings out the best in her and draws her closer to the Lord. 🧡 Thank you Hunter!
- Nadia didn't freeze to death while sitting at the altar, barefoot, with the coldest winds ever never relenting during the ceremony. 🦶
- The good hard laugh Elana (sister/maid of honor) gave me with her speech opener. 🙌🏼
- Witnessing Mr. McGinnis (FOB) cry for the first time. (I'm convinced his speech broke everyone.) 💯
Mr. & Mrs. Chenevey, I adore your story. Thank you for giving us the honor of telling it 🧡

It’s kind of surreal when you get to film one of your best-friends-since-7th-grade’s wedding.
Nadia and I used to make videos ALL the time with my little SANYO camcorder.
Nadia, who had a PowerPoint for her wedding day by age 12, planned and directed most of these home videos. I, Andrea, edited them together in the most cheesy way you can think of with my advanced video editing software, Windows Movie Maker.
But, I think if you told little us that in several years Andrea & her hubs would be filming weddings and Nadia would be planning them (shout-out to 🎉), we wouldn’t be in the least bit surprised.

When not filming weddings, we’re most likely using our cameras in some way…
This time it was thanks to our good friend Cade who hired us on to capture behind the scenes with him of tours by Passages!!
Tim & Cade studied abroad together in Israel during college, but this was my first time to this incredible country. I have to say, Passages knocked it out of the park. Even though we were working, I still got to experience so much here and fall in love with this country and the rich history that has so much meaning to me.
These are only a few of our favorite shots from our trip!! 🇮🇱💙
Remember from the teaser, I mentioned that there was something special about the journal Breah gifted Domenic…you’ll find out what within the first 25 seconds. 🥺
You might notice Breah & Domenic’s film is longer than our standard lengthened 8-10 min film. That’s just because there was no way we could cut it down.
The words from everyone in this video were so rich and filled with meaning that helped tell the story of who Breah & Domenic are and what is important to them.
For the most part, we stick to our 8-10 min highlight time. But if the best way to tell your story is to add an extra minute or two because it just wouldn’t do your story justice to go without it, that’s so so worth it to us.
🙌🏼 Also shoutout to this amazing team of vendors!!! So much talent and so much care went into making Breah & Domenic’s day the AMAZING event it was. We’re so humbled to have gotten to work with you all 🤍

Everyone’s worst fear/enemy when they plan for an outdoor wedding: RAIN (or snow let’s be honest).
2 main things I had never witnessed until this wedding:
🌧An outdoor wedding where it rained for almost the entire day
💙 A bride & groom with the ABSOLUTE BEST attitudes despite the weather--who even EMBRACED the rain.
This wedding will always stand out to me for many reasons, but the main one will always be the personalities of Jena and Renato, who inspire me to embrace the rain when it comes and dance hard in it 💃🏼🕺

I almost always cry during every father daughter dance (Tim will affirm this).
However, I was NOT prepared to have a bonus misty eye session when Nicole’s dad gave his speech! I am such a sucker for these moments 🤍🤍 Getting to deliver a memory like this to couples fills me up so much!!

Let me tell you—last weekend was so exciting. It was like watching our friends get married 🤍 that’s how Sam & Hayley make you feel—like you’ve known them forever. Literally, when Hayley ran to open the door for us as soon as we got there it made my day 😭🙌🏼 Here’s to you guys! 🥂 So pumped to get this full film to you!!! 🤩

The bride was the florist 🤩🌾 Vendors always get the question, “Well who did YOUR wedding??” Our friend Carolyn gets to say, “Me. I did my wedding.” From putting together the bouquets, centerpieces, decorating a canoe, and the dock they got married on—Carolyn, her biz partner Rachel, + the bridal party made it happen. I could not stop saying “WOW.” To watch a florist design and create is SO AMAZING. You can try to put together a bouquet with some flowers by the edge of your woods or the driveway and feel proud (which you should), but what they can do and see with their creative eyes and floral knowledge is incomparable. Especially Youth & Yarrow. Chicago brides, if you’re looking for a florist in the area—you’ve found THE one right here. 🌟To see more florals from the day, take a journey back through our vids and watch Jon & Carolyn’s lake house wedding🌟
Tim and Andrea are a husband and wife team who will never say no to an adventure. They combined their passions and interests to start a business that will allow them to find excitement and adventure in their careers and work with the best partner ever! One of the best parts about this job is that there are no rules that say you can’t date your co-workers! Along with cameras and editing, their other favorite past-times include paddle-boarding, going on runs, splitting an extra rice Chipotle burrito with two tortillas on the side, eating local Chinese food when they don’t feel like cooking themselves, researching the best spots to catch the sunset and stargaze, listening to audiobooks, finding new artists to listen to, and serving together as leaders at their church youth group.
A little bit about these individuals...
Andrea is the outgoing, people-loving, impulse decision-making half who always appreciates a good cup of strong black coffee. She enjoys this new world of traveling she has only started to experience the past couple years and loves her traveling buddy even more! Her choice road trip snack is and always will be trail mix and her favorite movie is the classic (for her family at least) “While You Were Sleeping” with Sandra Bullock.
Tim is the quiet thinker. Always planning something epic, whether it’s a hiking trip, youth group game, sick drone shot, or another way to cook chicken with rosemary and thyme. He loves a challenge and an adventure; it's all about the journey. Will eat most of Andrea’s trail mix without noticing.
