I cannot stress enough how much we recommend Alex and NY Wedding Films! He did an absolutely incredible job capturing footage surreptitiously throughout our wedding day, and then producing the most wonderful highlight reels. They are so beautifully done and we will treasure them always. We almost didn't book a videographer because of our budget concerns, but the prices are so reasonable, and the value of the product is beyond measure. Thank you for everything, Alex! If I could give 10 stars here I would!

Cook Captures

Hi there, my name is Caleb but most people call me Cook. I spent almost 13 years in the southeast filming weddings, events, corporate gigs and commercials. I moved to California in 2012 and pursued a different career. A couple years ago I decided to get back into event videography and started Cook Captures. When shooting events I have a very hands off candid style. I love to capture people naturally having fun, enjoying the day and creating memories. Every event I film is unique and each film ends up with it’s own story and narrative that fit the couple, venue, guests and overall vibe of your wedding.

Cook and Peter were so great to work with. I appreciated their understanding of how difficult the cost of weddings have gone up and how they were willing to cooperate reasonably throughout the whole process. Cook was able to capture all the shots I was hoping to have captured and his talent is truly evident. My husband and I were hoping to get some footage within the whole gallery of the not so “picture-perfect” to keep memories authentic and to see the natural candid side of our special day. Cook delivered that exactly through his videos. I truly recommend working with Cook if you are looking for someone to capture a meaningful event in your life. He is also so versatile in styles that he truly can provide you exactly what you are looking for or thinking through collaboration.

Born and raised in Ecuador, Nadia Belen moved to New Jersey at age 8 where she was raised in a cultural melting pot within close proximity to New York City. Straight out of college, she became part of a wedding collective in the New York metropolitan area as a videographer in 2019.

Nadia captured our wedding day with the exact energy I was looking for! She took the important details that I was interested in (candid family-oriented shots) and blended them into a 10 min TREASURE that I will never stop watching. Her smile is contagious and her communication following our wedding was impeccable. So grateful for this forever memory of our day!

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!

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!

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.

KKWeddingss was our wonderful & professional videographer and we can’t stop telling everyone how wonderful it was to work with Kristiann (owner of KKWeddingss) & how happy we are we chose her. Kristiann, the owner of KKWeddings is amazing & true professional. She is wonderful to work with. From the first moment I reach out to her she has been such a delight & the best to work with. Kristiann did an excellent job with our videography. Her works is truly amazing. She created two beautiful videos for us: A 15 minute highlight wedding video & 1 hour 20 minute full ceremony/reception video. Both videos are amazing. I cried just with watching the highlight video. Honestly the videos are a beauty & the music chosen by Kristiann made is superb. It was just perfect. I watch the videos over & over every day. I also have to comment that every time I reach out to her she has been great at responding & following up. Thank you so much Kristiann for your wonderful & professional service.

We were really struggling to find a videographer that understood what we wanted and was within our budget. Dianna was warm and friendly from the start! She was very patient as we talked through everything we wanted in our video. On the day of our wedding, she was very thorough and captured some shots that we didn't even know happened! We were worried that our photographer and videographer would get in the way of guests' views but Dianna was very respectful and was able to capture beautiful footage without disrupting our guests. We cannot recommend Dianna enough!

Awarded Best of Zola
We are not joking when we say that we hired Saja from Mawaddah productions at 8:30 am on our wedding day after realizing that we almost made one of the biggest mistakes by not having a videographer. And this was definitely the BEST decision we made. We were amazed that Saja not only managed to travel two hours from Boston to Alstead New Hampshire with a last minute notice for the job, but also exceeded our expectations by capturing all these priceless and unforgettable moments with little to no preparation other than a timeline flyer a few hours beforehand. The cinematography is insane: she films so beautifully and candidly, and her attention to details is unparalleled. Through her art and vision, she was able to translate this day which needless to say, went by overwhelmingly fast, into such a beautiful beautiful endless everlasting memory that we can now forever replay. We ABSOLUTELY ADOREDDDD the teaser, the short wedding film and the feature film. We shared it with our entire families and friends and they are completely in love. The short wedding film is on constant repeat. We could not thank her and recommend her enough for her incredible work and talent.

Looking at our videos now, it feels like an authentic, real, romantic view was captured. Yan Li was super easy to work with & everything went seamlessly. We felt very comfortable with him & his assistant, and they were so respectful of our photographer as well. Our wedding video makes me cry just thinking about it. Then I turn it on & I really start to cry— our vows overlayed on top of the footage, the scenery & details that were captured, & especially the emotion Stamper Films got on camera. 10/10 and if I ever needed videography again I would go to Stamper Films.

The story of Relive the Day Films all started in the small coastal town Riomaggiore, Italy. Jordan was solo traveling and met a beautiful girl named Kinsey. They shared a sunset over the water and the rest was history. Kinsey encouraged Jordan to pursue what he loved, And he loved the film. So he quit his desk job in insurance and pursued a career in capturing the happiest moments in people's lives; wedding videography.

Booking a videographer was a must for us. We came across a highlight film Relive the Day made for another couple and were instantly captivated. The visuals and music matched perfectly. Jordan and team have a beautiful way of capturing your big day. We went with the highlight film and documentary edit and we can’t recommend them enough. They live up to the name.

Here at Fervent we believe in passionately capturing your wedding in a real and raw way. Our films are well described as "organic" and we're best at candidly capturing those beautiful moments you're likely to forget.

Working with both Cori and Michael was a dream! We found them after scouring Instagram accounts and seeing what videographer friends and our venue used in the past. We loved how customizable their packages were and found that they were within our budget. We ended up going with a highlight video and opted to purchase all the footage (bc knowing me, I’ll want to remember every little detail). Both Cori and Michael were on top of communication and so incredibly professional throughout the entire process. Come wedding day, Michael came out as our videographer and was the most sweet and nice guy! He worked so well and was in sync with our photographer and was there shooting all of the moments both big and small! We received our highlight video a little over a month after our wedding and are SO IN LOVE with what they created! I can’t stop watching it over and over and our friends and fam keep reaching out saying how beautiful it came out! They matched our music choice so gracefully with the footage and injected so many memorable moments, while also injecting moments of creativity (which were fun surprises)! We will be receiving the rest of our footage soon, and we’re so excited for that as well! I promise you, you won’t regret hiring Fervent Creative!
