Cinematic iPhone reels, live stories and the unscripted in-between moments — filmed by your side at your Long Island City wedding, Bar or Bat Mitzvah, Sweet 16, proposal, milestone party or corporate event. Raw footage within 24 hours, edited reels in 3–7 days.
Catering halls, waterfront views and the city’s most varied celebrations.
Long Island City is the westernmost part of Queens, directly across the East River from Midtown and Roosevelt Island. Its Hunters Point waterfront is now lined with glass residential towers and parks, while the blocks inland still hold old factories, warehouses and the Silvercup Studios sign. It is home to MoMA PS1 and Court Square, and it has some of the most direct Manhattan skyline views anywhere in the city.
From Ravel Hotel / The Penthouse and Sound River Studios to the getting-ready suite at home, we film Long Island City celebrations for the feed while they're still happening. Stories go up in real time, and raw footage is yours within 24 hours.
Hotels, ballrooms, lofts and event spaces in and around Long Island City where we can be by your side.
Public places with the light and the space for a proposal or a few quiet portraits. Some city parks require a permit for professional shoots — we'll check for you.
Venues are listed for local reference. We film at any venue you choose, and a listing here doesn't mean a partnership with the venue.
City backdrops, rooftop light and venues where every minute counts.
Shooting handheld on iPhone keeps us nimble in Long Island City, 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.
We map your Long Island City timeline together: Ravel Hotel / The Penthouse's layout, where the light falls, and the moments you want on your feed first.
Outfits, nerves, the family walking in. This is the part formal coverage usually misses, and it's often the most-watched reel.
A few quiet minutes at Gantry Plaza State Park for couple or family content, timed for the best light.
Every raw clip is yours within 24 hours, often by AirDrop before you leave Long Island City. Edited reels follow in 3–7 business days.
