Morii Media 

5.0

  • Documentary style
  • Starts at $4,500
  • Serves Shirley, 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.

Toast Weddings

  • Starts at $2,500
  • Serves Shirley, NY

We've been honored to create wedding films for hundreds of incredible couples. Each one of their stories is distinctive and we pride ourselves on creating moving films that artistically convey those love stories. We believe your wedding is not just about one day. It’s about your story leading up to that day and the stories that will come after. Our wedding videos bring your day to life – allowing the two of you to relive every laugh, every tear, and every moment that went by in a flash. Your loved ones will thank you for allowing your celebration to serve as a legacy of family history for generations to come.

https://vimeo.com/386274683 From the very beginning, booking and coordinating with our wedding videographers was simple and stress-free. They were incredibly prompt on the big day and kept everything moving smoothly without us ever feeling rushed. Their friendly, upbeat attitude made it easy to relax and enjoy every moment.
Because they knew the layout of Stambaugh so well, they anticipated shots and transitions perfectly.
That familiarity with the venue helped everything flow naturally throughout the day. They captured so many meaningful moments, both big and small, that we still cherish.
Our wedding was documented beautifully and authentically.
Even now, six years later, we find ourselves watching the footage on a regular basis. The video instantly brings us back to how that day felt. These guys truly helped us forever capture our wedding, and we can’t recommend them enough.

Hiring Alëna as our wedding videographer was hands-down one of the best decisions we made for our big day. We were not sure if we wanted to have a videographer but from the moment we connected with her, we knew we were in amazing hands and were sold on having a wedding video. On our wedding day she was so fun and lighthearted and made us feel incredibly comfortable. Alëna has a true gift for storytelling - she captured the emotion, joy, and beauty of the day in a way that completely blew us away. Every glance, laugh, and meaningful moment was woven together so naturally. We had a few very minor edits to the video that we asked her to make and she did so quickly and without hesitation! We will treasure this video for the rest of our lives!

Chad and his team were a joy to work with! Chad is so creative and came up with the idea to send us an old school camcorder to record candid, behind the scenes moment from our wedding weekend and weave those into our traditional wedding video. It was SUCH a hit with the guests and came out better than we could have even imagined! He was also able to set up a live stream of our wedding ceremony so everyone who was unable to attend could still watch in real time! I highly recommend working with Mist Moss!!

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
We initially didn't think we wanted a videographer, but we hired Fen and are so glad we did! We chose Fen because we really liked her style of capturing the whole day without disrupting anything "for video," which she said was her style. She was generous and ensured she had a clear plan of what we wanted ahead of time. Fen was really easy to work with and captured our entire day without disrupting us. We are so, so thrilled we hired her and can't wait to see the final video!

Hugest hugs and thank yous for all you did for our wedding. We could not be more appreciative that you were there with us. We both absolutely loved the way you handled everything on the day and talked about it many times. Your presence was joyful and calming and fit right in. You have a natural intuitive sense of where to be and how, which we really noticed and appreciated. Dave made a comment about how the best cinematographers have a quality that is hard to describe but that has to do with connection to others, reading situations, and holding space…Not to mention how great your patience and help was with all the logistical items that we were too overwhelmed to be on top of ourselves!! We planned to plug in the drives and quickly click through the footage yesterday to make sure it all worked ok technically, but we ended up spending an hour and a half glued to the screen in tears!! We are both over the moon with your work, it’s exactly what we wanted. It’s hard to believe our luck with getting you on board. All this to say — thank you!!!!

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
Margo Sees Stars created the most beautiful wedding video for my sister’s 2018 wedding so when it came time to choose my video team, working with Julia and her team was a no-brainer! As expected, our second experience with Julia and team was as comfortable and seamless as the first! If I had another sibling, Margo Sees Stars would be the videographer of choice!

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.

Where do I start with Wedding Weekender… if you’re looking for a camcorder for your wedding/event and to capture all the silly, raw, fun, beautiful moments, Wedding Weekender IS IT. My maid of honors surprised us with this gift and the WW team was so helpful from the beginning. Our friend knew exactly what to do with the camera, it was small and compact, and people even felt comfortable passing it around to get different POVs. We shipped it back and what we got 2 months later was beyond our wildest dreams. They made it everything we wanted: nostalgic, fun, loving, and such a perfect snapshot of our weekend. I even had 2 small edits after they delivered the video and they had it back to us right away. The team processing and editing these videos truly have a magic touch. This was priceless and we can’t wait to relive our wedding through this video forever and ever. Thank you for being a part of our special day!

Intimate and unique films tailored to you. Every wedding is different, just like every couple. What they all share in common is our love for getting together.

So when our family and friends make the time to get together, we want to make sure to remember it and capture those moments. That’s where we come in. We want to capture the big and little moments of your celebration, because these moments are worth preserving ♡

Nadia was absolutely AMAZING to work with and captured our day BEAUTIFULLY. Nadia came recommended to us by our photographer, and we are so grateful that we found her. She was very receptive to how we wanted the video to look and made sure we were comfortable while filming. She was able to help cue us into doing certain things that came out AMAZING on film. I cannot recommend Nadia enough. Thank you Nadia for the love and care you showed my husband and I and for the way you were able to capture the energy of our wedding so perfectly.

We offer a unique style of wedding documentary. Imagine handing your good friend a camcorder at your wedding. They know exactly what to capture, and how to capture it. That's because they know you so well! We emulate this, but bring years of documentary film, and wedding content creation experience. It's our goal to help you hold onto your special day, because from what we've heard, it passes in a flash. Let's tell your story together.

We booked Fallingwater Films last minute and can’t believe how lucky we were to find Ian. From the start, he was incredibly communicative and helpful, especially since we weren’t even sure if we wanted a wedding video or what style we were looking for. After chatting with him and watching his previous work, we just knew… this is what we wanted. Ian doesn’t create your typical, cookie-cutter wedding video. His style is natural, emotional, and real. He captures not just the big moments, but the small, funny, meaningful ones too..the ones that make your day YOURS. Watching our highlight reel felt like reliving the day all over again. Not just how it looked, but how it felt. How we felt. How our guests and family felt. It is something we will cherish forever and can rewind back to that perfect special day and get all those feelings back to us because he captures IT ALL! His work is truly remarkable, and if you’re even considering having your day captured on video, don’t hesitate ... book him!! You won’t regret it.

They were a little more than what I had budgeted but I decided to move forward with them and am so happy I did!

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!
