HEAR FROM OUR COUPLES
"
Our wedding film from Christian, Chris, & the Shutter & Sound team is such a masterpiece! The cinematography is absolutely stunning, the music is so well coordinated, and the venue & decor are beautifully captured. They wove together every funny, intimate, and meaningful moment with us and our family & friends. It was so much fun to relive the day, especially with the full-length ceremony and toasts footage – we laughed (& cried) all over again. Shutter & Sound captured our day so beautifully and brought our wedding “vision” & our love story to life on camera. Not only that, but they were organized and easy to work with throughout the process – and so fun on our actual wedding day!

×ENQUIREVI · LOCATIONS
WE'VE FILMED HERE →

CHAPEL № I
This iconic NYC attraction is the perfect backdrop to any wedding shoot, with hundreds of acres of grand stone architecture, lush greenery and breathtaking views of the skyline. Central Park offers a beautiful balance of nature and city, so you can enjoy the best of both worlds. Bethesda Terrace, the Bow Bridge, and the Conservatory Garden are our most-shot ceremony spots.

CHAPEL № II
The Rockefeller Center observation deck — or “Top of the Rock” — offers a breathtaking view of Manhattan from over 1,000 feet in the air. We’re pretty sure this goes without saying, but you probably shouldn’t come here if you’re afraid of heights. Food for thought. The Empire State catches the dusk perfectly here; the cocktail-hour we filmed in 2024 caught a thunderstorm rolling in from the Hudson — stunning.

CHAPEL № III
This Bronx venue is bursting with colorful flowers and vibrant vegetation in artful displays that’ll make you feel like a Disney princess. The Enid A. Haupt Conservatory — a Victorian crystal-palace glasshouse — is the most cinematic ceremony space in the city. The Cherry Walk catches April pink-light beautifully, and the rose garden in June is genuinely unfair.

CHAPEL № IV
If you’re the bookworm of your friend group, you’ll love this literary oasis. The majestic facade of NYC’s grand library boasts colossal pillars, a vast staircase and other intricate architectural features. Astor Hall and the Rose Reading Room are the two most-coveted indoor ceremony spaces in the city; the front steps under the Patience and Fortitude lions are a portrait spot you cannot fake.

CHAPEL № V
The 1907 Beaux-Arts French Renaissance landmark at 5th Avenue and Central Park South — mansard-roofed, gilded ballrooms, the Pulitzer Fountain in the plaza outside, and the Grand Ballroom and Terrace Room as marquee reception spaces. Couples who book the Plaza say their vows under chandeliers older than the city as we know it.

CHAPEL № VI
The DUMBO waterfront and the Manhattan Bridge framing the Empire State Building from Washington Street — the single most photographed wedding view in the United States, and the one venue every NYC couple knows from the moment they get engaged. Brooklyn Bridge Park’s Pier 1 lawn for ceremonies; Empire Stores rooftop and the Time Out Market for receptions.

X · HONEST ANSWERS
Before you write, here are the things couples usually want to know — asked plainly, answered plainly.
THE ANSWER
We film every NYC wedding ourselves. Alan and Shane are both based here and have shot at every venue on this page at least once. We don’t outsource. Ever.
THE ANSWER
Yes — we have working relationships with all three and know each venue’s rules around fixed cameras, lighting, drone use, and timing. We’ll handle the venue’s production manager so you don’t have to.
THE ANSWER
Eight weeks for The Short, ten for The Feature, six for The Preview. Holiday weeks add a week. We’ll give you a date the day we sign and we’ll hit it.

Hi I’m Shane! I’m a filmmaker that travels the world in search of good stories to tell. I’ve shot everything from narratives, commercials, documentaries, and of course weddings! On days when I don’t have anything to shoot I spend my time cooking or I’m somewhere in the world snapping breathtaking (hopefully) photos!
