Morii Media

  • Documentary style
  • Starts at $4,500
  • Serves Islip, NY

I’m Brie — the filmmaker behind Morii Media, where I capture fleeting moments before they fade. Before starting Morii Media, I spent years editing and shooting for major brands like BuzzFeed, NBC, Nickelodeon, MTV, BET, and the NHL. I earned awards along the way — I climbed that corporate ladder — but after losing both my brother in 2017 and my father in 2020, my mindset shifted on what type of work I wanted to be creating. I wanted to create something that felt real and something that held value after COVID — that’s what drives everything I create today.

We picked Brie and her company because we followed her work and clearly saw her ability to capture that bride’s vibe, family tradition and HOW they celebrated. She communicated throughout the length of hire to day of my wedding and I know it was her way of capturing US as a couple and family. Her video FEELS what we created for our wedding day. Grateful.

Awarded Best of Zola
If you plan on having a video of your special day, Alëna is a MUST. She was so attentive through the planning process, is extremely detail oriented, and was so interested in learning exactly how we wanted our wedding captured. Day of the wedding, she had 3 cameras with her to capture different angles, and was great with making sure she caotured every moment. Both our short (4 min) trailer vid and full length wedding video were EXACTLY what I pictured. They were both edited beautifully and it was like watching a cinematic production of my life. She is genuinely the kindest human, and made my day so special. I cannot recommend her enough.

We hired Instillwonder to capture our wedding ceremony, and my gosh is our video amazing!! Andrew was so helpful and easy to work with and gave honest feedback and opinions while we decided on our plan. What an absolutely beautiful film that we will cherish forever! Andrew joined us slightly earlier for some bridal detail shots and also got stunning footage of the groom and groomsmen. This was the starting content of the video that then flowed perfectly into the filmed ceremony where the audio and shot was great. The video was then wrapped with some shots from our family and wedding party photos. Andrew even used our reception entrance song in the video! We would highly recommend Instillwonder!

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.

Fen went above and beyond all our expectations. We got a documentary style wedding video and she truly captured the most special parts of our day. From using a drone to multiple cameras being set up during the ceremony and first dance, Fen did it all! We saw a ton of sweet moments we may have missed and it was the best reliving every second of our special day watching our video. The background music she chose was beautiful, and the sound was crisp and clear. There wasn’t a part that she missed! Fen blended right in! We hardly noticed the camera out so she truly got some really candid moments. We could not recommend Fen more! Her work is beautiful and she is extremely kind and calm—definitely someone you want around on your day!

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!

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!!

Wedding Weekender is redefining wedding video with a more authentic, accessible way to capture your celebration. We send camcorders for your friends and family to film candid moments across your wedding weekend — from getting ready to the dance floor and everything in between. Afterward, our editing team shapes that footage into a thoughtful, nostalgic wedding video that feels true to your celebrations. We believe meaningful wedding video should feel personal, accessible, and rooted in real moments.

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 am just amazed at how the WW team took only a couple of sentences of direction/suggestions and created such a beautiful, fun video that absolutely captured the vibe of the wedding day and the vibe of our relationship. I could watch it over and over again (and I do). BOOK THEM!!!!!

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!!

Perfect Cadence Events was very professional, and definitely the right choice for our wedding! Logan, our videographer, and Duane, our DJ, exceeded our expectations and made our wedding a day to remember. Communication leading up to our special day was very consistent and helpful. They checked in with us multiple times to discuss our vision and music taste. They sent us an invite on Vibo DJ, a website / app that allows you to make song requests and plan the timeline / logistics of the event. This made it feel effortless and natural when Duane was acting as emcee / DJ, and it helped Logan be at the right place at the right time to capture the moment. Perfect Cadence Events provided all of the hardware that we needed. They had a headset microphone available for the officiant, and a microphone on a stand available for me and my wife while we exchanged vows, and also for the speeches later in the evening. They also set up fancy dancing lights on the dancefloor. They even brought a drone to capture some aerial footage of our venue! For our video package, we selected the 5-10 minute highlight edit and also requested a copy of the raw footage as an add-on. We were blown away by the final edit of our highlight video. We are so happy we chose Perfect Cadence Events. Thank you so much Logan and Duane!
