Jess Lazar Video 
Rating: 5.0 (6 reviews)
Ridgewood, NY
  • Videographer
  • Documentary style
  • Starts at $2,300

I am a videographer and editor who works mostly in the NYC and Seattle areas. As a wedding filmmaker, I want to ensure your wedding day is the most fun. I want to incorporate your ideas and inspiration and also help you feel spontaneous in front of the camera. My priority is showcasing the feeling of the day. And yes, I love a good posed drama shot, but I believe my job is to witness your day and translate that into a film. When you sit down, to relive your celebration, you’re not just watching a glossy, dramatic video of your day, but a time capsule that brings you back to how it felt to be there.

“I’ve never been the most traditional person, but I knew I’d want a video to remember our special day. Jess was the perfect person to trust with this and I immediately knew she was the right person to capture all the fun details and special moments. I have a feeling she could make any ceremony look like the wedding of your dreams, definitely not looking for a second wedding but if I have the chance to work with Jess again I’m going to take it!”

Meet Lara Mahler Founder & chief planner. When you work with Lara, you are working with the mama bear of TPIM, who cares for your happiness and works with intention and with a deep desire to bring to life everything that you possibly imagined. While Lara spends most of her year working with full and partial planning clients, the TPIM brand offers a variety of design, coordinating, and consulting packages to support the diversity of our clients.

“Every so often you come across a real-life angel. For us, that was Chanler and the TPIM team. We hired TPIM for month-of coordination, but they went above and beyond that. When our original venue Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Museum and federal property, was closed by the U.S. government shutdown just two weeks before our wedding, Chanler calmly and expertly stepped in and quite literally helped us pack up and move our entire wedding to another location. She handled every logistic with unbelievable precision and clear love for weddings, and made us both feel at ease under the most stressful situation. Our wedding ended up being even more beautiful and meaningful than we could have imagined and was an obvious reflection of the love, care, and tireless effort Chanler poured into it. If you’re looking for someone who can bring calm to chaos, understand your vision, and implement everything flawlessly, TPIM (and specifically Chanler) is that team. We truly could not have done it without them.”

  • Caterer
  • Serves Ridgewood, NY

We are a Queens-based community roastery that brings craft hot and iced drinks to the greater NYC area. Started with a mission to build community at our brick and mortar in Elmhurst, we expanded to do mobile so that we can be a part of building community through the connection of coffee throughout New York, New Jersey and Connecticut.

“My wife and I absolutely loved having Elm Roastery's coffee cart at our wedding. It's a unique addition to a wedding, perfect for coffee lovers. I have to preface that we knew Elm Roastery very well before our wedding. They've established a place in the Elmhurst community for their excellent beverages made with a rotating selection of beans freshly-roasted on-site, delicious pastries, and for their dedication to creating a special space for community events and partnerships. We often frequented their cafe before our wedding, and every time we return for coffee now, it brings back warm memories. We were ecstatic to discover their coffee cart service, and quickly booked them for our wedding. We added-on ube lattes and 40 almond croissants, and custom cups & banner. They more than delivered, the design was elegant and charming! Our guests quickly snatched up the croissants, and were lined up for the coffee throughout the booking. It was a huge hit. We used our newlyweds' privilege to skip the line and managed to grab coffee and croissants for a much needed break in our fun but busy day. Compared to the gut-wrenching quotes from our other vendors (catering, photo, makeup), it was clear they offered a great value, without the severe "wedding tax" you'll see from your other vendors. It was a no-brainer for us. You won't regret hiring them for your wedding; we certainly didn't. They were one of the most memorable amenities at our wedding -- a treat for us, as much as it is for our guests. And you'll be happy to know you're supporting a small-business that is truly dedicated to improving the local community.”

Most couples who work with me take their relationship seriously, but don't take themselves too seriously. They're educated, do Wordle, read the NY Times and have a healthy sense of reality. Since 2011, I've been writing and performing personal, meaningful and refreshingly engaging ceremonies. Couples work with me in an easy, collaborative way. I take guest experience and your wishes very seriously. I have the ability to command a room, a writer's knack for shaping a story, an emcee's sense of timing, and experience at the most prestigious venues. My BFA in Acting (Boston University) and MFA in Creative Writing (NYU) serve me well.

I emailed him, and our relationship began. He is smart, charming, funny, and really puts his heart into his work. He worked with us to make sure all our special requests came to life. He lead the way during our rehearsal the day before the wedding. He came to the welcome party and got to mingle with our family and friends. On wedding day, he was a rock star! Our guests raved about him and still mention how amazing he was. I can't recommend him enough! He is the very best!”

Hey there! My name is Marilyn. I live in New York City with my sweet partner, and our orange cat Maple. I’m an introverted, soft-hearted mush with an insatiable need to document the beauty in life. Practicing self-portraits in middle school eventually led me to pursue my photography degree from New York University, and I have been joyfully creating photos of wedding days ever since. To me, weddings are a magical display of the human spirit. It’s my biggest honor and joy to create imagery that captures that human magic - especially in a way that breaks the boundaries of historically gendered traditions.

Awarded Best of Zola
“From the first email, Marilyn was warm and welcoming! And that spirit stayed with us through planning, zooms, and the whole day of the wedding. Of course, her work speaks for itself, and i think you can feel the love and emotions she captures through her lens. She captured so many special joys and moments, I feel like I am reliving our wedding day over and over! I think Marilyn's pricing is fair and well worth the money spent. We went with the additional film option and the film shots are absolutely my favorite! Thank you so much, Marilyn!”

“Sound River Studios was the perfect venue for our May 2024 wedding! We had not initially considered a raw space for our wedding reception. However, after meeting with Una and discussing the seemingly infinite possibilities for the space (along with soaking in the spectacular views of NYC), we were completely sold on the venue. We are so glad we made the choice to celebrate our wedding at Sound River Studios! We took advantage of the dock at the venue and had our guests arrive to cocktail hour by boat which was a unique highlight. The dock is also a beautiful spot for photos! Una was beyond helpful in the planning process and she was always available to answer any questions we had or to brainstorm ideas with us and our vendors.

My partner is quite shy and doesn't enjoy his photo being taken, but Maya made him feel so comfortable and confident. We are an LGBTQ couple, and Maya made us feel so valid and loved expressing who we are. Maya was so communicative throughout the whole wedding planning process, and constantly provided us with resources to help us with our general planning. Maya and their co-photographer took so much care and detail on the day of the wedding to get every small detail to every huge moment.

We met prior to the wedding to go over our favorite music choices and just with a simple list of songs, he was able to create an amazing playlist/mixes of songs that kept to party going ALL night.

“Courtney was the wedding planner of a wedding I attended. It was clear that every detail was well thought out and the event was a reflection of the couple and everything that was important to them. The venue was in a small town in upstate NY, quaint and charming, by the river. From the welcome bags at our hotel, and the newspaper with all the event details we knew we were in for a treat. The wedding venue was absolutely gorgeous, and beautifully decorated. There were thoughtful touches like the telephone to leave a message for the couple, the personalized watercolors of the attendees as momentous, and the sunglasses for the guests as we hung in the garden at the venue, this was one of the best events I have attended. And the band was outstanding, we danced all night. Courtney did a phenomenal job of thinking about the big and the small things.

I’ll be there to steady your nerves, share a laugh, and remind you to soak it all in. Because your love story is one-of-a-kind, and your ceremony should be too.

“Researching our honeymoon destination, we stumbled across photos on the web taken by Jackie’s husband, Sascha, which led us to Jackie. So inspired were we by TeamReinking, we decided to put our complete trust in them and elope from Australia to NYC. We had literally just booked our wedding in Australia. Jackie was so easy to work with and we connected with her via emails and then the moment we met in person (literally just before our ceremony). Jackie helped us create the most beautiful ceremony in April 2023 at the Ladies Pavilion in Central Park, NYC. A special moment in time filled with shared promises, love, laughter and quite a few tears. It was an emotional day for us that had been 12 years in the making. Jackie is simply a delight and it was easy for us to just be ourselves in that moment. My husband is still talking about our beautiful ceremony with Jackie by our side. I think he’s your number 1 fan, Jackie!!! Our photos (taken by Sascha) are beyond stunning and the memories of our day and ceremony we will cherish forever. We would do it all over again in a heartbeat! Tick this one off your list, celebrant and photographer sorted!! I’d give a 6 star rating if I could!! Ps I think my husband is already planning for us to renew our vows in the future with TeamReinking!!”
