550Park Luxury Wedding Films 

5.0

  • Documentary style
  • Serves St. James, NY

Brent is considered one of the top wedding cinematographers based out of the Northeastern USA. He frequently travels the globe, documenting weddings for couples who deserve the best of the best. After growing up in Central Jersey, Brent chose to move down to Nashville for college and then shortly after graduation, officially founded 550Park out of New York City. He is a passionate tennis player, chef, and world adventurer.

We loved getting to work with Brent. From the moment we got a response back to our final questionnaire, Brent was professional, easy to work with, and very fast at communicating. Of all our vendors, Brent was the best one. The day of our wedding, he arrived early and ready to go! He was like a spy, didn't get in any of our photos, and his documentary approach to capturing the wedding day was reflected in our wedding video, we got such great candid moments from our guests and ourselves. Our final video was insane, and we love it! It was better than we could ever have imagined. The moments and quality of the video and the sound was crazy good! We didn't originally think a wedding video was as important as wedding photos, but after getting our photos back, we love our wedding video 1000x more. Having this video to show our son, remember our special guests after they have passed, and to remember how happy we were on our wedding day is more special than words can say. A wedding package from Brent is a must!

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. Please read more ON MY WEBSITE and ONLY INQUIRE THERE OR VIA EMAIL ONLY (not zola). I can only fit so many characters on here so please check out my links instead. 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
If you plan on having a video of your special day, Alëna is a MUST. She was so attentive through the planning process, is extremely detail oriented, and was so interested in learning exactly how we wanted our wedding captured. Day of the wedding, she had 3 cameras with her to capture different angles, and was great with making sure she caotured every moment. Both our short (4 min) trailer vid and full length wedding video were EXACTLY what I pictured. They were both edited beautifully and it was like watching a cinematic production of my life. She is genuinely the kindest human, and made my day so special. I cannot recommend her enough.

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 was a dream to work with during planning, leading up to and on the day of the wedding and after. She was always present yet never once felt in the way of any action, and captured all the best moments. Even over a year later I couldn't find the video, Fen emailed me back in a few hours and was able to assure me not all was lost. I HIGHLY recommend Fen, you wont be disappointed!

Awarded Best of Zola
We hired Mist Moss to cover our June wedding and were blown away by our wedding films. We received a 3 minute teaser a few weeks after the wedding and then a longer video a couple months after. Both film were absolutely incredible. Chad captured our wedding so beautifully and truly showed the love, happiness and fun of the day perfectly. We could not have asked for a more special way to remember our wedding day forever. Not only is Chad extremely talented, but he is also so kind and considerate and was such a pleasure to be around the whole wedding day. We absolutely recommend Mist Moss to any couple looking to be in love with there wedding film forever.

Margo Sees Stars 

5.0

  • Documentary style
  • Starts at $4,900
  • Serves St. James, NY

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
If you want your wedding day to be captured like an art piece, like an actual movie or magical music video, hire Julia. I cannot recommend Margo Sees Stars enough! I knew I wanted a video of our big day because A) my memory (for the little details) sucks and B) I knew seeing the movement and all the sweet in-between moments in live footage would be so much more meaningful to me than just still photography. But I also am not drawn to super traditional sappy wedding video treatments. Julia took it to another level. I don't remember how I found her but she was the first vendor I booked and it was an A move and worth absolutely every penny. I fell in love with her Wes Anderson style, her eye for minimalism and fun candid moments, her editing and music choices. I felt such joy watching her videos of other peoples weddings, I couldn't imagine how good I would feel watching my own in her beautifully unique film style. Cut to my wedding day, not that this is totally mandatory but she was a complete fly on the wall. Obviously I was a bit preoccupied but I barely remember seeing her there, to the point that later on I was worried she may not have captured enough of the day because WHERE WAS SHE?! But she caught EVERY moment. Moments I was too anxious to pay attention to, or wasn't present for, or was having too much fun to remember. But I'm SO happy to be able to see them in the final video. It was 100x more than I dreamed of. Myself, my husband, our families, we all wept watching it. The music was so perfectly edited to the shots. Honestly I was anxious to pick a song without seeing the footage so I just gave her a few songs and bands I liked and the general vibe I wanted, and she completely NAILED it. She was also hugely accommodating to my editing process (I'm also a creative so I was a bit nit picky), and super communicative along the way when needed. But there was barely any need for it. You just let her do her thing and she makes absolute artistic magic. Not to mention she sends you the raw footage in an adorable package filled with Hershey's kisses and a camera-shaped USB key. I loved my wedding day but the moments are so fleeting, it goes by so quickly and then its gone forever, and it's lovely to have photographs of the day, but I'm telling you, having such a uniquely beautiful video art piece to watch when you want to smile really hits different. GO HIRE MARGO SEES STARS!

We wanted more documentary style footage, which he provided us throughout the full night, as well as some beautiful video editing for key moments. Bruce captured everything and you never even knew he was there, worked well with the photographer and is nothing but professional. Bonus, the prices are incredible reasonable.

Awarded Best of Zola
We had an absolutely seamless experience with our wedding videographer from start to finish. The entire process was easy, and on the big day, they were so discreet we hardly noticed them—yet the amount of stunning content they captured was truly remarkable. The videos they produced allow us to relive our wedding day again and again, and each time it brings back the same emotions. Choosing them was the best decision we made, and we highly recommend them to anyone looking for a professional and talented videographer!

We couldn't have asked for a better DJ for our wedding! From the start, communication was seamless. Logan was attentive to our preferences, responded quickly, and made sure every detail was covered. On the day of the wedding, Logan was on top of things. The sound quality, equipment and execution during the ceremony was excellent - he managed different speakers, music and the processionals well. Later in the night, the music and events were managed expertly. He was flexible, attentive and fun. Our guests loved the reception and Logan made it easy. Highly recommend working with Logan, you won't regret it.

Motel Cinema

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 cannot thank Saja and Mawaddah Productions enough for producing the wedding film of my dreams! Saja was a joy to work with. She is exactly the type of person you want around you on your wedding day: calm, kind, and professional. Saja was proactive about communicating with my husband and I during the planning process and made an effort to get to know us and understand our hopes for our wedding day. The final film reflected that intentionality by showcasing the feelings and details of our day beautifully and authentically.

My name is Ben. I am a LA-based Wedding Filmmaker who runs on emotion-driven films that tell the story of you as a couple. The wedding day for sure! - But lets be honest, the wedding day is only whatit is because of who you are together before and after the day is done. Let's get some of that. That's the stuff that lasts longer than a few years after your wedding. The stuff your kids will pull out and watch.

Awarded Best of Zola
Ben is such a talented videographer! We are super happy with the film and had a great experience working with him. His artistic take on editing and music makes the film an emotion triggering art piece. We also really appreciate his support during the pandemic. We had to reschedule twice during the whole process, not only was he flexible, he didn't even raise the price after two years and flew all the way to Seattle for our wedding. Thank you, Ben!
