Hands down…hiring Alenka Films is the best money I spent throughout the wedding planning process. I can’t say enough about how incredible Alena is! I honestly wasn’t sure that videography was in my budget even though it was something that I really wanted for my wedding. I did a search for local, female- owned videography businesses and found Alenka Films. I reached out to her about 2 weeks before my July wedding and got an immediate response. After speaking for a few minutes I knew she was a perfect fit! She was super flexible considering I didn’t know exactly what I wanted and told me that I would always have the option to add on more to the package after the big day. She was super professional and helpful on the day of the wedding and was able to capture so many special moments without my husband and I even noticing. Delivery of our videos was super prompt and we loved them so much that we ended up adding a longer documentary edit to our package which also turned out to be amazing. I loved working with Alena and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone to film their wedding or special event. Thank you Alena!!!

Fen Video Production

  • Documentary style
  • Starts at $1,200
  • Serves Long Island City, NY

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 so amazing to work with, two important things we wanted from our videographer were to have RAW footage included in our price and on our wedding day to basically not even know they were there. Fen did both of those, she was extremely reasonable with pricing and so easy going leading up to the wedding day and throughout it. Fen easily blends into the background unlike most videographers that you can find yourself bumping into on the dance floor. If you're looking for a kind, easy going and professional videographer for a more than decent price Fen is the best choice!

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. ​

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband and I chose videography at the last moment and we are so happy that we did. Jeffs response time was so quick before, during and after our wedding which was amazing when you need answers and feedback quickly. Jeff worked completely around our schedule and didn’t make us feel like our day was a “show” rather that he was there to document our day. He got all of the sentimental moments as well as the funny ones. He worked hard with family to recruit people to submit their messages. His assistant Christine was also very personable and did an amazing job always being right there but not intrusive. I am grateful that we chose Jeff and his team to document our day.

Margo Sees Stars

  • Documentary style
  • Starts at $4,900
  • 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!

Awarded Best of Zola
We were on the fence about getting a videographer, partially because it seemed unnecessary and partially because we were worried that we would feel uncomfortable having a camera follow us around. But we met with Julia (Margo Sees Stars), and ultimately decided it was worth the risk. We could not be happier! Although Julia herself was booked for our wedding day, her colleague Mel was fantastic--she was friendly, unobtrusive, worked great with our photographer, and really put us with ease. And Julia's editing ability is off the charts. We opted for the package with a short teaser as well as a longer video, and both brought us to tears. We are so happy that we went with Margo Sees Stars for our special day. You will not be disappointd if you do the same!

First Day Films 

5.0

  • Documentary style
  • Serves Long Island City, NY

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
I have had the pleasure of knowing and working alongside John and his team for close to 12 years. As a full time wedding photographer I have worked with many videographers and none come close to First Day Films. Johns unobtrusive style of documenting weddings consistently delivers a stress free experience for the couple and a video that tells the story of their love and their day in the most natural and beautiful way. I highly recommend First Day Films!

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

  • 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!

I cannot express how great it was working with Logan! He exceeded every expectation we had and went above and beyond to ensure we felt good about our wedding day. Logan is really easy to work with, incredibly knowledgable and engaging, and understands how to toe the multi-generational, and multi-cultural, line of music. It's clear he loves what he does, and our guests absolutely raved about the song selection at our wedding. Whether it was him playing Top 40 music, or traditional Mexican songs, people were always busy dancing! More than anything, in Logan, you have someone who you know cares about attention to detail, and making sure that everything goes off without a hitch, going as far as mashing up specific songs/requests hours before the wedding. 5 star experience!

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.

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.
