ABOUT US
We believe your wedding deserves more than just a video.
Best Day Video was created for couples who care deeply about how their story is told — not just how it looks.
We don’t simply document weddings.
We craft cinematic films that capture the emotion, beauty, and meaning of one of the most important days of your life.
Based in New York, we work with couples from all over the world who want their wedding film to feel timeless, elegant, and deeply personal.
Our approach
Our style is a balance of classic, beautifully composed cinematography and authentic, candid storytelling.
You will never feel awkward or unsure in front of the camera.
We gently guide you when it matters — for portraits, key moments, and elegant shots — while allowing the rest of the day to unfold naturally.
This approach lets us capture:
the polished, magazine-worthy moments
and the real emotions, laughter, and energy that make your wedding truly yours
The result is a film that feels refined, emotional, and alive — not staged, not chaotic, and never generic.
Why couples choose Best Day Video
Couples come to us because they want more than a highlight reel.
They want a film they’ll still love 10, 20, or 50 years from now.
We focus on:
story over trends
emotion over gimmicks
quality over quantity
Every wedding we film is treated as a one-of-a-kind story, not a template.
Photo + Video, seamlessly
In addition to cinematic wedding films, we offer photography and video together for couples who want a cohesive visual experience.
By working as one creative team, we ensure:
consistent style
smoother timeline
and a more relaxed wedding day
Everything flows better when photo and video are aligned.
Let’s tell your story
Your wedding is not a production — it’s a real, emotional, once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Our job is to preserve it beautifully, honestly, and with intention.
If our style resonates with you, we’d love to hear your story.
Where simple moments become timeless stories.
The People Behind the Films
Best Day Video is a boutique creative studio based in New York, made up of a small, dedicated team of filmmakers and photographers.
Our core team includes two lead creatives — one filmmaker and one photographer — supported by a trusted group of second shooters who work with us regularly.
This allows us to offer full photo and video coverage while keeping the experience personal, consistent, and relaxed.
You’re not hiring random freelancers.
You’re working with a team that knows each other, communicates seamlessly, and understands how to capture your day as one cohesive story.
