About the area

Filming in Great Kills.

Harbor views, waterfront ballrooms and close-knit celebrations.

Great Kills is a South Shore neighborhood built around Great Kills Harbor, a sheltered harbor on Raritan Bay lined with marinas and yacht clubs. Great Kills Park, part of the National Park Service's Gateway National Recreation Area, stretches along the shore to Crooke's Point with beaches and walking trails. Inland, Hylan Boulevard and Giffords Lane run through blocks of single-family homes.

Whether your celebration is at Grand Oaks Country 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 Great Kills event, start to finish.

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

Shooting handheld on iPhone keeps us nimble in Great Kills, 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.
