About the area

Filming in Riverdale.

Garden estates, island waterfronts and classic catering halls.

Riverdale is the hilly northwest corner of the Bronx, set on the ridge above the Hudson River. Its winding, tree-lined streets hold stone mansions, prewar co-ops and the Fieldston enclave, and Van Cortlandt Park borders it to the east. It's best known for Wave Hill, the Hudson-side estate and public garden where Mark Twain once lived, which faces the Palisades across the river.

Whether your celebration is at Wave Hill and Van Cortlandt Golf Lake House 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 Riverdale event, start to finish.

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

Shooting handheld on iPhone keeps us nimble in Riverdale, 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.

How it works

Your Riverdale day, for the feed.

We map your Riverdale timeline together: Wave Hill'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

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

That night
