I hired Jonathan at 4K for my wedding this past October, and he wasn’t absolutely incredible! When first speaking, I described to him exactly what I was looking for, and he was extremely flexible in creating the type of wedding video that I wanted. Jonathan showed up and set up everything seamlessly the day of my wedding, and blended in with the crowd, operating exactly the way you need your vendors to on your wedding day. He produced our video in less than a week — we were so happy to re-live our wedding ceremony and speeches while on our honeymoon. I highly recommend Jonathan for any of your video needs, not only because of his professionalism, but because the quality of his work is amazing!

First Day Films was started with one goal in mind: to tell our clients’ stories as elegantly and unobtrusively as possible. Our films capture the events we cover precisely as they happen. Nothing artificial, nothing cheesy. We have all been to events where the video crew are the most noticeable people in the room. The bright lights, the uncomfortable interview requests… Our team of videographers believe that distractions like these put you and your guests on the spot. So we do our best to avoid them entirely.

John and his team are a true pleasure to work with. They pay attention to what matters most to you and then deliver videos that really highlight those moments. We are so happy with how everything turned out--our videos are a perfect reflection of our wedding day!

Reel Feels

New York, NY
  • Documentary style
  • Starts at $3,500

1. We've been best friends since high school. We're not related and we're not dating (despite the fact that we start almost every sentence with "we") but we are allies of the LGBTQ+ community ✊🏼 2. We're from Florida originally but we currently live in Manhattan in a 2 bedroom apartment in the East Village. 3. We're into fashion, vegetarian food, and astrology. Tessa's a scorpio and Madi's a virgo ✨ 4. The only way we know how to relax is by watching The Bachelor or Love Island. Reality TV is our guilty pleasure 🙈 5. Something very unique to us is that we like to travel and we both have passports so feel free to invite us abroad with you 😉

Reel Feels is actually the best! Our photographer recommended them initially and once we saw their work we knew we needed them. We weren’t sure we had room in our budget for videography but ultimately decided that with all the time and money we were putting into the wedding it was worth having a record of it all. It was ultimately one of the best decisions we made while wedding planning. Working with Reel Feels was great from the start! Tessa was super easy to talk to and very flexible in finding a package that worked for both of us. The day of the wedding they were super professional and did an incredible job. My husband and I were probably not the easiest to work with thanks to some generous bartenders but they seem to keep their cool which helped us keep our cool. We got our teaser trailer back 2 weeks after the wedding and WOW! It was even better than we imagined! I would recommend them to EVERYONE and not just because they were the best to work with but I mean have you seen their work? They know what they are doing!

Hi! I'm Alëna! I’ve been making videos for over 10 years now. I believe in sucking the joy out of life and documenting it. It’s by immersing myself in travel that my eyes were first opened to videography. Being an adoptee from another country I fell in love with the process of collecting memories. I feel that my exposure to changing environments has allowed me to appreciate things from various perspectives and remain calm and assertive in fast pace situations. Such as weddings! I love capturing different traditions & religions AND of course documenting people in love or breaking the dance floor are my literal favs! Let's freakin' go yeah!?

Awarded Best of Zola
Alena is AMAZING! She was very informative and thorough prior to the wedding/during the planning process, so much fun on our wedding day, and super fast at getting back our film and highlight reel after the wedding. All of our guests raved about how much fun she was! Our film and highlight reel were better than we could have ever imagined! HIGHLY recommend!!!

We hired Instillwonder to capture our wedding ceremony, and my gosh is our video amazing!! Andrew was so helpful and easy to work with and gave honest feedback and opinions while we decided on our plan. What an absolutely beautiful film that we will cherish forever! Andrew joined us slightly earlier for some bridal detail shots and also got stunning footage of the groom and groomsmen. This was the starting content of the video that then flowed perfectly into the filmed ceremony where the audio and shot was great. The video was then wrapped with some shots from our family and wedding party photos. Andrew even used our reception entrance song in the video! We would highly recommend Instillwonder!

Hello! My name is Fen, nice to meet you online! I’m a freelance cinematographer and editor. I split my time between shooting weddings and indie films. I enjoy doing both because I love the thrill of operating a camera and I love people and stories! I have shot over 300 weddings and I edit everything myself. In my spare time I love swimming, hiking, skiing, traveling with my family, writing and learning all kinds of stuff. I’m very curious about the world!

Awarded Best of Zola
Fen is absolutely wonderful!! I found Fen Video on Zola and was immediately struck by the fact that I recognized one of the brides in the promo trailers as an old friend from my home town. I took that as a great sign and reached out to Fen and only Fen to ask about being our videographer. We corresponded a few times to exchange ideas, locations, details etc and everything was always very simple and easy. Day of the wedding, Fen worked closely with our photographer and together they coordinated our First Look photo shoot, which they both captured beautifully. Fen left early to set up at the church and tactfully set up several cameras to capture all the important moments of our traditional Orthodox ceremony. She was very respectful of the priest and the church customs. At the reception, she was EVERYWHERE. Slipping in and out of dance circles, capturing the different buffet lines, catching beautiful intimate moments between us and our guests, even getting right in the middle of our Greek dance circle. It was amazing! She was so sweet and generous with her time and efforts. Watching the footage back, she truly captured every special moment we could remember from that night and so many we didn’t even know were happening. Her style is simple, classic, and focused on the special personal moments. My husband and I are so grateful for Fen!

Chad was so incredibly easy to work with and absolutely nailed our video. Chad made us feel so comfortable throughout the whole experience which was helpful because we were nervous we’d look stiff and awkward. The whole film perfectly captured our relationship from the shots, to the lighting to the music and we couldn’t be happier. We were also so grateful they stayed the full day since we had a long wedding timeline. If you’re looking for a videographer, go with Mist Moss!

Hi! I’m Julia, middle name Margo, a film school dropout and music buff who wants to make your wedding look like art. I'm here to represent diversity in the couples I work with and weddings I shoot (love is love), to give you something hyper-shareable that will instantly transport you in space and time for the rest of your lives, and to make you cry upon watching. The crying is very important. Bear with me on this analogy, but basically I like my wedding films like I like my salads: raw, organic, a little bit of quirk and flare, and consumed alongside great music. If this sound pretty good to you, have a look at my work and get in touch!

Awarded Best of Zola
JULIA - where do I begin? When I first spoke with Julia a year and a half before my wedding I knew she was for us. I kept in touch with her after hiring her - here and there - but when I met her in person SPARKS FLEW. Her unique and unmatched talent in videography is just the beginning of who Julia is … Her positive energy and overall ability to make you feel beautiful and comfortable and unapologetically yourself. That is the magic you need in your wedding weekend and Julia holds the key. I would reccomend her 1283938 times over. She is a gift.

Hi, my name is Jenica! I'm a wedding photographer and filmmaker based in New York City. Equipped with a BFA degree in photography and documentary production, a few cameras, and an old station wagon, I drove cross country from Utah to New York City in 2010. I went back to school for my MFA in photography at Hartford Art School and graduated in 2020.

My husband and I often say that booking Jenica was the best decision we made for our wedding. She did our engagement photos, photography for our small Covid church wedding, and both photo and video for our delayed large wedding celebration. Each time we received work from her, I thought she couldn’t possibly top herself—but she always did!! Our wedding video brings me and my family to tears every time we watch it—I had been iffy on a wedding trailer but Jenica made me realize it was some of the best money I spent. She went above and beyond to include snippets from our small Covid wedding as well as our big celebration. She also collaborated with my sister in law to include a song written by my brother in law, which could not have been more special. Not to mention—Jenica and any team she brings along are always a delight to work with. When we parted ways after our third time working together, I truly felt we had built a friendship. She was a comforting presence to me on every big stressful day she photographed—I felt I could look to her for leveling and support. Through many adjusted timelines and events, she was always flexible and kind in a sea of pandemic wedding planning chaos. I could not recommend Jenica more highly to anyone who is considering—I continue to recommend her to all my friends and hope to continue to work with her for years to come!

Logan was our DJ for our wedding and he was absolutely phenomenal. He was so professional and organized. He made sure to give our wedding party and us clear direction and what to expect to keep to our timeline and have a great experience. He always had a smile and interacted with us and guests. He makes sure to go over many details to understand the vibe of the wedding and guests and works closely with the bride and groom to figure out what genres and types of songs to play at the wedding. I would highly recommend him and his business for any dj needs. You will not regret it or be disappointed.

Fueled by nostalgic recalling we aim to create a film that is timeless and authentic. Motel Cinema is based out of San Diego, Ca and our approach to weddings is inspired by the untraditional travelers before us, who hit the road in search of adventure into the unknown. We don't like boxes and we don't want wedding films that fit into one. If that tickles your fancy let's get weird.

Awarded Best of Zola
One of the best decisions we made for our wedding was to hire Motel Cinema! As an entertainment marketer, specifically for documentaries, how our wedding would be documented was top of mind for me and I met with quite a few videographers. Brandon completely exceeded my expectations with the moments he caught on film, the editing, the music, the vibe. I really felt like he saw us and reflected it all back to us in the most special way which we will cherish for the rest of our lives. He was an absolute joy to work with through the entire process- easy to communicate with and quick, but also a relaxed energy that fit seamlessly into our wedding weekend. I cannot recommend Motel Cinema enough and I’m so so grateful that we were connected.

I have spent years in hospitality, fine dining, IT support, you name it. And the most important through-line in my work has been relationships. Relationships you make with people are sometimes more important than the job you do, not to dismiss the job as something to be sloppy with, but to say there is only so far that accomplishing the job can make a person feel seen and heard and special. And I feel there is no more important nod to that philosophy than weddings, where sure you can just make a wedding film and it will look good, but to truly get this once in a lifetime event and art project something TRULY special!

Gabe hands down was so easy to work with. After trying to stick with budget, but last minute also wanting to add a videographer I was stuck in a hard place. I went searching for someone who could do that and found Glass Lilac Films. He met up with me and my husband for coffee and talked to us about what we were wanting from it all and he did not disappoint. His attention to detail was great and the final cut was so unique and very us. I've watched the video too many times and always fall in love with it. I can't wait to watch this 10 or 20 years from now with my husband. Having a videographer is something I 100% recommend and using him and his new team is something I 101% recommend.

Hi! We're Lola & Hollie, hence Lollie! We are a wife-wife wedding videography duo based in Boston. Our approach is based in passion, love and creativity. We always shoot with a two videographer team and two or more HD cameras to ensure a special moment is never missed. When you choose to work with us, you're making an investment in preserving your memories for years to come.

10/10 - would recommend. We had a large wedding planned and then COVID hit. We rescheduled the big event but continued with our wedding and small reception for 20 close family members. Lole and Hollie were amazing. They explained all the package options and worked with us when we changed our plans. They were super easy to get along with and clearly know what they are talking about. I was a bit overwhelmed about what I wanted but they were patient. I probably will never watch my entire wedding but they made us an awesome "teaser" which I love and it really captured the day. They truly saved our wedding because our photographer was awful. She double booked and didn't get any of the shots. When we mentioned this to Lola and Hollie they were able to get us some screen shots of their video of important moments (first kiss, walking out the church) - ya know kinda a big deal.... They really saved us and I would recommend them to anyone and everyone.

Which are the most popular videographers in New York, NY?

What's the most common type of deliverables for videographers in New York, NY?

Most videographers offer a Highlight reel or Short feature deliverable.

Is a wedding videographer worth it?

Spoiler: absolutely. Skipping a wedding videographer is one of the most frequent regrets we hear from couples. Picture this: your future grandkids nestled on the couch, eyes wide as they watch you and your love looking young and oh-so-in-love. It's the magic of your day, immortalized with laughter, tears, and impressive (or hilarious?) dance moves. Sure, photos capture moments, but a video? It whisks you back in time, and lets you relive every toast and every dance exactly as they happened. So while the flowers will fade, and the cake will be devoured, your wedding film is your Oscar-winning love story for generations to come.

How long will the final wedding video be?

Ready for the premiere of a lifetime—your wedding day on film? Your final wedding video is typically a finely edited production, running anywhere from a share-worthy 3-minute highlight reel to a more comprehensive 30-minute cinematic saga. Plus, some videographers might even offer the full, uncut footage, so every giggle, tear, and dance move is yours to replay (talk about director's cut, right?). Just remember to chat with your videographer about your vision – are you after a snappy montage of the day's greatest hits or a feature-length love story? Either way, you'll be cozying up on the couch, tissues in hand, ready to relive the day scene by scene.

What is the turnaround time for a wedding video?

Your wedding video is more than just a video - it’s a carefully edited film. Generally, you'd be looking at about 2 to 6 months before you get to click play. So while you might be itching to relive those memories, remember that artistry can't be rushed. In the meantime, why not flip through your wedding album or pen some thank-you notes as the anticipation builds for your wedding film debut!

Do wedding videographers in NYC provide both raw and edited footage?

This one depends on the videographer you want to work with. Sometimes, you can add raw footage for an additional fee, and sometimes the answer is a polite but firm, "no." If you’re interested in the uncut, behind-the-scenes raw footage, make sure you ask videographers about it before booking, and review the terms around deliverables in their contract. But either way, you’ll end up with a polished, shine-like-a-diamond edited video that you’ll cherish for years to come.
