Our wedding was very hectic to say the least. Rabab showed up earlier than expected and not only took pictures but also helped with set up at our wedding (something that was not required at all). She really came to the rescue in making sure things ran as smoothly as possible. Her assistant also extremely helpful! The photos she took captured the look that we were going for!

Margo Sees Stars 

5.0

  • Videographer
  • Documentary style
  • Starts at $4,900
  • Serves Brightwaters, 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!

Awarded Best of Zola
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!

Awarded Best of Zola
Sonja is INCREDIBLE! I can’t speak highly enough about her—she went above and beyond for our wedding. From the start, she understood my vision, and we stayed perfectly aligned throughout the planning process. When we began designing the florals, Sonja presented her inspiration board, and to my surprise, it included the exact same image I had independently chosen for my own board—a detail I hadn’t shared with her! Her eye for design and ability to bring a vision to life are unmatched, and her passion for her work shines through in the most beautiful final product. I didn’t know much about flowers, but I found myself genuinely excited as she described the blooms she selected for my bouquet. On the wedding day, it was so comforting to work with someone I trusted completely to execute my vision. Sonja was extremely communicative, incredibly talented, and genuinely kind—I cannot recommend her highly enough!

This is the easiest part of your wedding planning. PICK THEM. Of all aspects of the wedding, the photographer was one of our highest priorities. We combed the internet researching photographers that would capture our wedding in a very specific, lovely, meanful and not cheesy way. We did what felt like days of research and found Forged In the North through a recommendation from another photographer who highly regarded their style and ease in the field. FIN is punctual, professional, kind, lovely to be around and bananas talented. I have bullied two close friends into using them and they were also thrilled with their work.

When I first started wedding photography, I made a goal of being more than just the photographer on your big day. I made it my goal to be your friend, someone you can crack inside jokes with, and someone who isn't afraid to get down + have fun at the reception (while still doing her job). I made it my goal to capture more than just photos, but an experience. Whether it’s high in the mountains, on a beach near the ocean, in a forest meadow - you deserve to get married however you want to & I want to capture it for you.

Lexi did a wonderful job capturing my husband and I’s wedding day! We couldn’t be more grateful for all the amazing photos she took for us. We will cherish them forever! Lexi is a very skilled photographer who pays close attention to detail. Her calm & caring personality was also very comforting for the both of us. Highly recommend L& L photography!

He was punctual to the wedding, and his professionalism and laid back style, was perfect for us and our wedding. By the time we got home from our wedding reception, he had already sent us some edited photos. Caleb’s editing style also matches the look we were after. He always had pose suggestions for us, constant ideas for how to take group shots large or small. He made us, our family and our wedding guests VERY comfortable.

Ashley is so perceptive and talented! I told her a little bit about us and our style and she created the right balance between moodiness and fun that we wanted. She always got back to us just under 24 hours and answered every question that we had. She is dedicated to her clients and their needs. I enjoyed being in her company because she made us feel comfortable. She understood our needs and never pressured us to do anything out of our comfort zone. We are a more laid back, care-free couple, so we gave Ashley lots of space to experiment and it definitely paid off.

The fearless Elizabeth Carberry Creative team brings over 15 years of collective experience. After having studied Art History at Dickinson College, Elizabeth went on to start her first company, an art and artist consulting firm in 2011. Pivoting her role as brand manager, creative director and marketing guru for DC area artists, Elizabeth focused on small businesses and start ups, and began applying her creative eye to photo styling and content creation. It was through the passion of styling and creating small moments of beauty that she found her love for love and desire to plan the weddings of the amazing couples that she works with.

Awarded Best of Zola
Elizabeth Carberry and her team are truly second to none in the wedding planning space. Back in 2019, I had met with numerous planners in DC and the stars aligned on cost, vision, and personality with Elizabeth immediately. Even before we signed on the dotted line, Elizabeth was hard at work taking the things we mentioned in our first call and setting up appointments with vendors. As it turned out, this would be an excellent indication of how thoughtful, efficient, and hardworking she and her team would be in working with us to plan our dream wedding(s) over the next few years. When the pandemic hit, we had already booked our date and many vendors but it was clear we probably weren’t going to move forward with our original date or vision, Elizabeth was so on top of rescheduling things and renegotiating on our contracts, we felt totally supported the entire time. She really went above and beyond. We started planning another version of our wedding on a rescheduled date and once again, another wave of the pandemic hit and we were out of luck again. While I’m sure Elizabeth and her team were as exhausted and frustrated as we were, they kept everything professional while also being incredibly empathetic to the situation. We canceled our second attempt at a wedding and went back to the drawing board. Third times the charm, it seems! My husband and I decided to scrap our plans for a big 200 person wedding bash in DC and have an intimate ceremony of 45 people at my parents cabin in PA. We proposed this idea to Elizabeth, knowing it was a huge pivot and trek for her, but without really any hesitation we shifted gears and started planning our new dream wedding in the mountains of PA. Within a matter of days, our contracts had been once again renegotiated with vendors who wanted to make the trip to another state and new vendors were found (a seemingly impossible task in rural PA). The day went off without a hitch and my husband and I look back on the whole process and wedding day so fondly, even with the nightmare of the pandemic. The day of, Elizabeth and her team were so incredible and efficient but stayed behind the scenes, making sure I knew they were there but not overwhelming us. The ceremony and reception were so beautiful and fun- she made our vision a reality. We woke up the next morning and everything was disassembled/organized and ready for the vendors to pick up. Of note, Elizabeth is also incredibly professional and will advocate for you with difficult vendors and make sure you’re not getting taken advantage of- you can tell she’s seasoned pro! Elizabeth and her team are the reason why, even after two foiled attempts, we have nothing but amazing memories from the wedding planning and actual day of! I recommend Elizabeth Carberry to anyone getting married- she and her team are the best of the best. Thank you for our perfect day, EC!
