Margo Sees Stars 

5.0

  • Documentary style
  • Starts at $4,900
  • Serves Cottekill, NY

Hi! I’m Julia, middle name Margo, a film school dropout and music buff who wants to make your wedding look like art. I'm here to represent diversity in the couples I work with and weddings I shoot (love is love), to give you something hyper-shareable that will instantly transport you in space and time for the rest of your lives, and to make you cry upon watching. The crying is very important. Bear with me on this analogy, but basically I like my wedding films like I like my salads: raw, organic, a little bit of quirk and flare, and consumed alongside great music. If this sound pretty good to you, have a look at my work and get in touch!

We were on the fence about getting a videographer, partially because it seemed unnecessary and partially because we were worried that we would feel uncomfortable having a camera follow us around. But we met with Julia (Margo Sees Stars), and ultimately decided it was worth the risk. We could not be happier! Although Julia herself was booked for our wedding day, her colleague Mel was fantastic--she was friendly, unobtrusive, worked great with our photographer, and really put us with ease. And Julia's editing ability is off the charts. We opted for the package with a short teaser as well as a longer video, and both brought us to tears. We are so happy that we went with Margo Sees Stars for our special day. You will not be disappointd if you do the same!

We've been honored to create wedding films for hundreds of incredible couples. Each one of their stories is distinctive and we pride ourselves on creating moving films that artistically convey those love stories. We believe your wedding is not just about one day. It’s about your story leading up to that day and the stories that will come after. Our wedding videos bring your day to life – allowing the two of you to relive every laugh, every tear, and every moment that went by in a flash. Your loved ones will thank you for allowing your celebration to serve as a legacy of family history for generations to come.

https://vimeo.com/386274683 From the very beginning, booking and coordinating with our wedding videographers was simple and stress-free. They were incredibly prompt on the big day and kept everything moving smoothly without us ever feeling rushed. Their friendly, upbeat attitude made it easy to relax and enjoy every moment.
Because they knew the layout of Stambaugh so well, they anticipated shots and transitions perfectly.
That familiarity with the venue helped everything flow naturally throughout the day. They captured so many meaningful moments, both big and small, that we still cherish.
Our wedding was documented beautifully and authentically.
Even now, six years later, we find ourselves watching the footage on a regular basis. The video instantly brings us back to how that day felt. These guys truly helped us forever capture our wedding, and we can’t recommend them enough.

Upbeat storytelling. Free-form and candid! Specializing in short form wedding films and classic full length documentary edits. I have a true journalistic shooting style which means I will never be directing you or posing shots. I want you to be as natural as possible around me and want those moments to reflect in your final edit. You will find my short form videos to be much more on the upbeat side than most without the extensive use of voice narration throughout the entire video.

Your wedding day is a day you want to remember for the rest of your life and relive over and over again after spending months planning your perfect day. We are so happy that we decided to work with Chad as he provided us with a video that we could not be happier with capturing every detail! Chad and Samantha arrived at the church early to set up and hook up the groom with a wireless mic which captured every word during the ceremony. Throughout the day, we felt like we were always on the move and Chad and Samantha were always in the best spot to capture all our moments and details. When we received our teaser trailer (like 2 days after our wedding!) we noticed so many candid moments that were captured, such as the groom casually playing with the wedding ring. And when we reviewed our final video we were so impressed with how Chad cut together the moments of our day, timed the transitions to the music perfectly, and even adjusted the speed of some moments to create artful transitions between a fast-passed song and our first slower dance. We trusted Chad to capture our special day and he did not disappoint. He was an absolute pleasure to work with and was even able to incorporate some of our wedding photos into the video and it came out amazing! Throughout the process, Chad always responded quickly via e-mail and kept us updated on his progress. He was so patient in working with us and is all about making his customers happy. Before finalizing our video, he sent us a copy of it and asked for our feedback. The video was amazing, and we couldn’t stop watching it on repeat. After taking in all the special moments, admiring Chad’s attention to detail, and enjoying how the video paired with the audio and music so perfectly and creatively, we had a few requests. We noticed that a few special moments to us were missing from the first cut, so we asked Chad if he could add it in. He responded right away and was able to update the video with no issues quickly. It’s nice to work with someone who is a true professional and has an eye for detail. We are so lucky to be able to relive our perfect day for the rest of our life with a huge smile on our faces and a happy tear once in while ! Thank you, Chad!!

I feel like I could write for hours about our experience with Brent. From the moment I first spoke with Brent I knew I had found exactly what I was looking for. As much as I loved our wedding and it truly was the most amazing weekend of our lives, sometimes when so many things are going on you aren't able to be apart of everything. The way Brent made himself available for most of our weekend to video not just our ceremony and our reception but our rehearsal dinner, the property, testimonies from our friends and family and just overall capturing the whole vibe of our wedding. Moments. That is what we wanted for this weekend. Was for everyone to have a least one moment where they felt nothing but love. I am beyond happy Brent and Cam were there to capture our special weekend and for any of my friends getting married I will recommend them over and over again. Thank you so so much Brent!

We initially didn't think we wanted a videographer, but we hired Fen and are so glad we did! We chose Fen because we really liked her style of capturing the whole day without disrupting anything "for video," which she said was her style. She was generous and ensured she had a clear plan of what we wanted ahead of time. Fen was really easy to work with and captured our entire day without disrupting us. We are so, so thrilled we hired her and can't wait to see the final video!

I'm a New York City-based wedding filmmaker specializing in documentary style wedding films that focus on real moments, real emotions, and the people who matter most. Wedding days move quickly, and my approach is calm and unobstructive-allowing you to stay present while I capture your day naturally, without turning it into a production.

ASM was recommended to us by our photographer for our wedding, and we must say it was the best decision we made. Adebowale is such a calm and funny person—working with him was a delight. My wife was a little nervous at first, but Adebowale brought a sense of calmness that immediately brightened the room. Our wedding was a blast, and we enjoyed every moment with him and the photographer. Our families still can’t stop talking about how professional he is. He made sure every member of our close family was included, capturing the essence of the day perfectly. When we received the video, we weren’t surprised—it was everything we had hoped for and more. We’re so happy to have Adebowale as our videographer, knowing that our unborn children will one day watch this timeless memory with us. This is a moment that will truly last forever. I strongly recommend Adebowale and his team. If there were a way to give him 10 stars, we absolutely would!

Hi I’m Anthony! I’ve had a camera in my hands since I was 14 - what started as a teenage curiosity quickly grew into a lifelong passion for storytelling. Over the years, I’ve taught myself everything I know about filmmaking, and after filming my first wedding five years ago, I knew I had found my purpose. There’s something truly special about capturing the emotion, laughter, and small, unspoken moments that make a wedding day unforgettable. It’s an honor every single time I get to help couples preserve that feeling forever

Anthony captured ALL of our favorite moments during our wedding. He was very attentive and even helped guide us during certain moments when taking photos. I have recommended him to many friends and they all love him and his work!!

Afterward, our editing team shapes that footage into a thoughtful, nostalgic wedding video that feels true to your celebrations.

We had the best experience with Wedding Weekender! It was worth every penny. They made every step of the process easy, the equipment itself was easy to use, and everybody had a blast at the wedding filming and being filmed. We are over the moon with how the video editing turned out as well!

I could watch it over and over again (and I do). BOOK THEM!!!!!

We booked Fallingwater Films last minute and can’t believe how lucky we were to find Ian. From the start, he was incredibly communicative and helpful, especially since we weren’t even sure if we wanted a wedding video or what style we were looking for. After chatting with him and watching his previous work, we just knew… this is what we wanted. Ian doesn’t create your typical, cookie-cutter wedding video. His style is natural, emotional, and real. He captures not just the big moments, but the small, funny, meaningful ones too..the ones that make your day YOURS. Watching our highlight reel felt like reliving the day all over again. Not just how it looked, but how it felt. How we felt. How our guests and family felt. It is something we will cherish forever and can rewind back to that perfect special day and get all those feelings back to us because he captures IT ALL! His work is truly remarkable, and if you’re even considering having your day captured on video, don’t hesitate ... book him!! You won’t regret it.

Films are my life. Everything I do is seen through the lens of a camera. It's my life and love, and I strive to create the most cinematic films I can. I have been working full-time in the event industry since I graduated from film school in 2000, and I have captured well over a 1000 events. My job as a cinematographer is to create a cinematic film of your day that is both natural and magical. When I'm working, I prefer to be as discrete as possible, therefore I don't like to do too much staging of shots. I like the more natural films and that is what I strive for with every job I take on.
