    Awesome Awesome Awesome!!!

    Derrick did the video for my wedding and he went far & beyond on his task. For example, most people would show up at the time of the wedding but he showed up at least an hour earlier to get footage before people arrived and was locked in for the rest of the night. He did not skip a beat. There was a lot of dancing and jumping at my wedding and he made sure to get every angle of the action. Definitely would recommend.

    Derrick Allen exceeded expectations as the videographer for my husband’s 50th birthday celebration. His attention to detail was outstanding—he captured every moment with precision and care, from the décor and candid interactions to the special highlights of the night. The final video was beautifully put together and reflected the joy of the event perfectly. Highly recommended for anyone looking for professional, high-quality videography.

On the day of our wedding, Derrick seamlessly captured every moment, from the intimate exchanges during our ceremony to the lively celebrations on the dance floor.

We cannot recommend Derrick enough to any couple looking for a talented, dedicated videographer to capture their big day.


Definitely! While we’re based in Suffolk County, New York, destination weddings and long distance weddings are an option. If your wedding is over 50 miles outside the New York City metropolitan area, we’re happy to come to your city for an additional fee to cover the cost of travel and reasonable accommodations.
We’ll start with a consultation to understand your vision and help choose the film style that fits you—whether it’s a 3–4 minute cinematic highlight, 4–5 minute short film 15–20 minute cinematic film with highlights. From there, we confirm timelines, key moments, and music preferences. We stay in touch leading up to the event so everything feels prepared, natural, and aligned with your story.
We’ll have a planning call to learn your vision and confirm which film style you prefer—Highlight (3–4 min), Short (4–5 min), or Cinematic (15–20 min + highlight). From there, we finalize key moments and timeline details so everything feels clear and seamless on the day.
On the day of the event, I arrive several hours early to prepare and set up. I blend direction with observation—stepping in when guidance is helpful and staying unnoticed when moments are unfolding naturally. My focus is to capture genuine emotion, smooth transitions, and the atmosphere of the day while keeping everything relaxed and enjoyable.
Final delivery is typically 6–10 weeks, depending on the season and package. I make sure each edit is polished, consistent, and true to your story.
Yes. I offer gentle posing guidance, support with music choices, and help organizing a smooth event timeline so everything feels natural and stress-free.
Yes. I can tailor packages to fit your needs, and I offer a variety of add-ons such as extra coverage time, additional edits, and more. Just let me know what you’re looking for, and we’ll build the right fit.
Yes. A non-refundable retainer of 25–50% is standard in the industry to secure your date, with the remaining balance due closer to the event. This ensures your date is reserved exclusively for you.
