About the area

Filming in Manhattan.

Skyline rooftops, landmark hotels and loft ballrooms.

Manhattan packs an enormous range of celebrations onto a 13-mile island, from Fifth Avenue hotel ballrooms facing Central Park to converted lofts in SoHo and Tribeca and waterfront halls on the Hudson River piers. Uptown leans classic, with grand hotels, private clubs and museums along the Upper East and Upper West Sides, while Midtown offers landmark rooms like the Rainbow Room at Rockefeller Center and the former banking halls now run by Cipriani. Downtown brings cobblestone streets, rooftop venues and historic Financial District spaces near the harbor. Between them sit neighborhoods with their own feel, from the brownstones and supper clubs of Harlem to the restaurant rooms of the West Village.

We've planned coverage around rooms like The Plaza and Rainbow Room, and around living rooms, synagogues and backyards too. We stay with you from arrival to the last song, post stories as it happens, and hand over every raw clip within 24 hours.

    Bow Bridge, Bethesda Terrace and more; Conservatory Garden shoots require a Conservancy permit
  • Brooklyn Bridge promenade

Planning notes

A Manhattan event, start to finish.

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

Shooting handheld on iPhone keeps us nimble in Manhattan, 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.

Manhattan is where couples get the most iconic content: rooftop toasts, hotel staircases and city portraits between venues. We film handheld, so we fit into tight spaces and keep up when the plan moves from the ceremony to a car to the after-party.

How it works

Your Manhattan day, for the feed.

Weeks before

The planning call

We map your Manhattan timeline together: The Plaza's layout, where the light falls, and the moments you want on your feed first.

Getting ready

Behind the scenes

Outfits, nerves, the family walking in. This is the part formal coverage usually misses, and it's often the most-watched reel.

The moment

Portraits & reactions

A few quiet minutes at Central Park for couple or family content, timed for the best light.

That night

Raw footage, delivered

Every raw clip is yours within 24 hours, often by AirDrop before you leave Manhattan. Edited reels follow in 3–7 business days.
