Wedding Videography in New York City and the Tri-State Area
I film weddings the way they actually happen.
That means I am not going to stop your day to stage a shot. No walking toward the camera holding hands, no pretending to laugh, no second-take first look. The moments worth keeping are the ones you would have had anyway, and most of them are small. Your mom's face during the vows. Your dad trying to fix his tie. The ten seconds after the ceremony ends when the two of you finally get a second alone and neither of you knows what to say.
I am based in New York City and I film across the whole region.
Where I film
Most of my work is within a few hours of the city.
New York City. Manhattan, Brooklyn and the outer boroughs. I have filmed at the Metropolitan Club, the New York Athletic Club, Smyths Tavern in Tribeca and The Picnic House in Prospect Park.
Westchester and the Hudson Valley. Glen Island Harbor Club in New Rochelle, Warwick Valley Winery in Warwick.
Long Island. Hempstead House at Sands Point, The Fox Hollow in Woodbury.
New Jersey. The Bradford Estate, Crossed Keys Estate, Beach Haus Brewery in Belmar, Avenue in Long Branch.
Connecticut. The Stamford Museum and Nature Center, The Woodwinds in Branford.
Pennsylvania. Pen Ryn Estate, Holly Hedge Estate in New Hope, RiverCrest Golf Club.
If your venue is on that list, there is a full film from it you can watch before you ever talk to me. If it is not, that is fine too. I scout anywhere I have not shot before.
How a day with me works
I arrive early and I stay quiet. I am usually somewhere near the edge of the room with a long lens, and most of the time you will forget I am there. That is the point.
I do not run your timeline. Your planner does that, or you do. I work around whatever you have already decided, and if something runs late, which it will, I adjust instead of asking everyone to wait.
Audio matters more than people expect. Vows and toasts are the parts you will go back to in ten years, and those live or die on sound, so I record them properly rather than hoping the room mics catch something.
What you get
A film, edited by me. Not a highlight reel assembled by someone who was not there and does not know which moments mattered.
I shoot and I edit, which is less common than it sounds, and it is the reason the films feel the way they do. When I am filming I already know what the cut needs, and when I am cutting I remember what the room felt like.
Travel and destination weddings
I travel. Weddings outside the tri-state area are something I take on, and travel is quoted with everything else rather than hidden in the fine print.
Let's talk
Tell me your date, your venue and roughly what you are picturing. If I am free and it sounds like a fit, we will go from there.
