About the area

Filming in New Dorp.

Harbor views, waterfront ballrooms and close-knit celebrations.

New Dorp, from the Dutch for 'new village', is one of Staten Island's oldest settlements, in the middle of the East Shore. New Dorp Lane is its main street, running from the Staten Island Railway station past Hylan Boulevard toward the beach, lined with shops and restaurants. Nearby are Miller Field, a former Army airfield now part of Gateway National Recreation Area, and the restored historic village of Historic Richmond Town.

We've planned coverage around rooms like Violette's Cellar and Historic Richmond Town, 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.

Planning notes

A New Dorp event, start to finish.

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

Shooting handheld on iPhone keeps us nimble in New Dorp, 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.
