About the area

Filming in City Island.

Garden estates, island waterfronts and classic catering halls.

City Island is a small island in western Long Island Sound, about a mile and a half long, reached by the City Island Bridge from Pelham Bay Park. City Island Avenue runs down its spine, lined with seafood restaurants, and side streets lead to boatyards, yacht clubs and Victorian clapboard houses. The island's sailmaking and shipbuilding past gives it the feel of a New England fishing village inside city limits.

Whether your celebration is at City Island Yacht Club or a backyard tent down the street, we follow you, and only you, from the moment we arrive until the last song plays. We post stories in real time and deliver every raw clip within 24 hours.

Planning notes

A City Island event, start to finish.

City backdrops, rooftop light and venues where every minute counts.

Shooting handheld on iPhone keeps us nimble in City Island, where venues have tight load-in windows, elevators are small and portraits often happen on the sidewalk between taxis. If a location needs a permit or a venue has vendor rules, we flag it during planning. A modest travel fee applies for NYC venues, and it's built into your custom proposal.
