Hello! My name is Jeff Bien Aime I am the Founder and Lead Videographer of Flare Hill Productions. I fell in love with Wedding Filmmaking back in 2018 when I Filmed my 1st, Wedding. I remember feeling so excited but yet so nervous. After it was all I over and I delivered the Wedding Film to my client. They ended up loving it and recommending me to my next couple. Since then, I've dedicated myself and this company to creating and capturing timeless moments of our couple's special day. I realized that there's something magical about capturing the love and emotions of two people in a way that can be relived over and over again. ​

He captured our day perfectly, without getting in the way or filling us with demands. He had previously worked with our photographer before as well, which we loved, making for a seamless day and amazing work environment for everyone! His work is beautiful, artistic, unique and high quality. We loved the final product and he was able to adjust the few very small things we wanted edited. He takes the time to explain decisions, changes and he is super kind to work with from start to finish! Definitely go with Jeff if you are looking for a great videographer, who fits in your budget, but creates a final masterpiece that you will love for many years to come!

Margo Sees Stars

  • Serves Long Island City, 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!

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
You're planing a wedding and you are reading this, you either 100% know you'd like to have a videographer document your wedding day and are beginning your research or maybe you're unsure. I want to highly recommend hiring a videographer at First Day Films. You will treasure having your special day documented and you will love working with John and his team. In 20 years from now, you'll be so excited to be able to look back at that amazing day and share those memories with your children. We are photographers and we have worked with First Day Films for over 10 years now. We both approach the day in an unobtrusive manner. Their style will stand the test of time- nothing gimmicky, the moments that matter are documented as they were actually happening and then edited together beautifully. Their final product will transport you right back to your big day all over again as you watch your Instagram clip and the longer edit. Speaking to the day of experience, they do not treat your wedding day like a movie set in any way and nothing cringeworthy will happen, promise. All of the couples that we recommend First Day Films to always tell me they were so happy to have made that investment. Always a pleasure working with John and his team. You'll be working with someone who cares about you and the product they deliver.

Artistic Emotional Cinema. Dream Images. I am an innovator, and highly motivated. My experience with cinema camera, lenses, Steadicam stabilizer, audio, and lighting allows me to confidently and enthusiastically create exciting real life motion pictures, starring YOU. I will be open and honest with you, and quickly show you what I can bring to your special day. Let me know exactly what you want, and I will work consistently with you to provide it. My goal is to create movies and videos which are authentically you.

Bruce gave us exactly what we asked for and the entire experience was easy and seamless especially compared to most wedding vendors. 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.

Reel Feels

  • Documentary style

  • Serves Long Island City, NY

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!

Jenica Elena Studio

  • Documentary style
  • Serves Long Island City, NY

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!

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!

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'm William, a dedicated and passionate photographer/videographer based in Washington, DC. My love of photography was born out of my love of travel. While exploring other countries and cultures, I was using my phone to document the people that I met and the places that I have been.

When I'm not behind the lens, you'll find me at my local movie theater or spending quality time with my family and friends.

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!

Awarded Best of Zola
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.

Based in Southern California - filming wherever your love goes. With 5 years as a professional videographer, I discovered a passion for filming weddings and documenting moments that’ll last forever. I have a background in video production and as a colorist as well as a degree in Film Production from NYU.

KS Media Productions were true professionals and a huge asset to have for our wedding this year. We saw samples of their work and immediately wanted our wedding to be captured in that light. It was definitely a fresher feel for videography. On our wedding day, it rained for a good part. KS Media Productions (along with our photographer) worked together to come up with great shots to capture the special moments of our wedding despite the weather. The improvisation KS Media had was phenomenal. Our photographer also had the highest of praises for them when it came to working with them on the professional side and communication side. We couldn't have asked for anyone better than KS Media Productions. We can not wait to see the final product, but I can tell you that we 100% recommend KS Media Productions for any event. Thank you Kristi and KS Media Productions for making our wedding amazing and we hope nothing but the best for you as you start your next chapter in life! Thank you again!
