Margo Sees Stars 

5.0

  • Documentary style
  • Starts at $4,900
  • Serves Chelsea, 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!

Moments. Details. Emotions. These are the things that define you, your life and your most important events. How do you want to remember them? My approach is to be as non-invasive and invisible as possible. The less you know I am there, the more reality I am able to capture. I do not want to be a director. I want to be an observer; a documentarian; most importantly, a story teller. Each moment in your life builds a story. That story deserves to be relived and passed on. i want to help you remember those moments, those details, those emotions that make up your life.

How much will your weddingit really cost? Find out now.

  • Serves Chelsea, NY

Hello! My name is Fen, nice to meet you online! I’m a freelance cinematographer and editor. I split my time between shooting weddings and indie films. I enjoy doing both because I love the thrill of operating a camera and I love people and stories! I have shot almost 400 weddings and I edit everything myself. In my spare time I love swimming, hiking, skiing, traveling with my family, writing and learning all kinds of stuff. I’m very curious about the world!

Awarded Best of Zola
Fen was wonderful to work with for out wedding on October 8th, 2023! From the very first virtual meeting all the way through the big day itself, she was so friendly and professional! On the day of our wedding she coordinated with our photographer to get video capturing the entire day from start to finish, sometimes from the same angles as our photographer and at other times different angles or multiple angles all at once! We opted to receive both the full-length format video as well as the short highlight summary, and they are both fantastic! From the drone shots of the venue in the introduction, to the wonderful B-roll video clips in the transitions, and overlaid music at times where it made sense, the videos we received are just so wonderfully put together and capture the events of the day perfectly! The highlight video struck a great balance of events throughout the day and was great to be able to post to our socials. We asked for a small change to the highlight video, and Fen was more than accommodating and had an updated version sent back out to us very quickly. And when we received and watched the full 3 hour edit, we felt transported right back to that day and like were able to completely re-live it. We are so happy with our choice to work with Fen, and overjoyed to have this special record of our big day for the rest of our lives. Overall we cannot say enough good things about Fen and her work, and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a videographer!

My husband and I got married in November of 2024 in Simsbury, CT, Chad has worked at the Riverview venue multiple times and knows exactly where to get the best shots. We wanted every moment captured from getting ready, to the ceremony to speeches and cake cutting and of course, dancing! It felt like we were at the wedding all over again while watching the video! It was exactly what we visioned! The package we paid for was very well priced! We highly recommend Chad and hope to be able to work with him again some day for another event.

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.

Digital Memories Event Videography provided excellent videography services for our wedding. From our initial consultation to the final product, their communication was direct and to the point. They listened closely to our preferences and captured all the key moments of our special day. The quality of their work was superb, with crisp visuals and clear audio. And considering the high caliber of their services, their pricing was very reasonable. We would highly recommend Digital Memories to any couple looking for a talented videography team to document their wedding.

We are a husband and wife team with a passion for capturing and telling the stories of love. Our own love story started as a friendship and eventually flourished into a romance and then marriage. Our wedding day experience provided us with a glimpse into a world where dreams come true and memories are captured and made to last forever. We consider it a special type of honor to bear witness (with a camera in hand) as two families join together in the spirit of love and union. We believe that your wedding day is the anchor by which the family foundation is formed to allow a newly joined family to grow as ours did. -Roberto and Sara Bueno

Awarded Best of Zola
Best videographer ever!!! From the beginning Roberto was so professional, but fun! We knew that’s the vibe we wanted at our wedding. He was so patient with us and all of our questions about the process. The moment he and his team arrived at our wedding, they were apart of the group. They seemed like they had known us, our family, and friends for forever. It made for such a warm, comfortable, fun vibe - especially on the dance floor. Not only that, but we had about 250 people there, Roberto stayed late on request. We were so appreciative that he did so, especially in a whim and how late it was! Also, we were worried about having a hurricane around our wedding day - Roberto made sure to reach out and ensure the day would be beautiful and he would be there. That’s not only top of the line customer service but shows he and his team are great people. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!!

Bruce was the absolute best! From our first phone call to my wedding day, he was so professional and kind. You can tell that he truly loves what he does. I’ll admit, I was a little worried about booking a videographer at first because I was afraid I’d be too focused on the camera following me around. But Bruce was so laidback and chill, I truly forgot he was there half the time. He’s able to step back and capture the memories in the most perfect way. We’ve already received some teaser clips before our big video is done and I immediately sob every time I watch them, he did a fantastic job! Highly recommend!
