Margo Sees Stars 

5.0

  • Documentary style
  • Starts at $4,900
  • Serves Rifton, NY

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
If you want your wedding day to be captured like an art piece, like an actual movie or magical music video, hire Julia. I cannot recommend Margo Sees Stars enough! I knew I wanted a video of our big day because A) my memory (for the little details) sucks and B) I knew seeing the movement and all the sweet in-between moments in live footage would be so much more meaningful to me than just still photography. But I also am not drawn to super traditional sappy wedding video treatments. Julia took it to another level. I don't remember how I found her but she was the first vendor I booked and it was an A move and worth absolutely every penny. I fell in love with her Wes Anderson style, her eye for minimalism and fun candid moments, her editing and music choices. I felt such joy watching her videos of other peoples weddings, I couldn't imagine how good I would feel watching my own in her beautifully unique film style. Cut to my wedding day, not that this is totally mandatory but she was a complete fly on the wall. Obviously I was a bit preoccupied but I barely remember seeing her there, to the point that later on I was worried she may not have captured enough of the day because WHERE WAS SHE?! But she caught EVERY moment. Moments I was too anxious to pay attention to, or wasn't present for, or was having too much fun to remember. But I'm SO happy to be able to see them in the final video. It was 100x more than I dreamed of. Myself, my husband, our families, we all wept watching it. The music was so perfectly edited to the shots. Honestly I was anxious to pick a song without seeing the footage so I just gave her a few songs and bands I liked and the general vibe I wanted, and she completely NAILED it. She was also hugely accommodating to my editing process (I'm also a creative so I was a bit nit picky), and super communicative along the way when needed. But there was barely any need for it. You just let her do her thing and she makes absolute artistic magic. Not to mention she sends you the raw footage in an adorable package filled with Hershey's kisses and a camera-shaped USB key. I loved my wedding day but the moments are so fleeting, it goes by so quickly and then its gone forever, and it's lovely to have photographs of the day, but I'm telling you, having such a uniquely beautiful video art piece to watch when you want to smile really hits different. GO HIRE MARGO SEES STARS!

Moments. Details. Emotions. These are the things that define you, your life and your most important events. How do you want to remember them? My approach is to be as non-invasive and invisible as possible. The less you know I am there, the more reality I am able to capture. I do not want to be a director. I want to be an observer; a documentarian; most importantly, a story teller. Each moment in your life builds a story. That story deserves to be relived and passed on. i want to help you remember those moments, those details, those emotions that make up your life.

Upbeat storytelling. Free-form and organic. Specializing in short form vignette wedding films and classic full length documentary edits. I have a true journalistic shooting style which means I will never be directing you or posing shots. I want you to be as natural as possible around me and want those candid moments to reflect in your final edit. You will find my videos to be much more on the upbeat side than most without the extensive use of voice throughout the video.

Chad was excellent to work with - we wanted a video that felt authentic, candid, and beautiful, and that is exactly what we got! Chad captured all the important parts of our wedding day, all while letting us live in the moment. We often forgot we were being filmed, which really made the video a genuine reflection of our day. Thank you so much for everything!

Brent is considered one of the top wedding cinematographers based out of the Northeastern USA. He frequently travels the globe, documenting weddings for couples who deserve the best of the best. After growing up in Central Jersey, Brent chose to move down to Nashville for college and then shortly after graduation, officially founded 550Park out of New York City. He is a passionate tennis player, chef, and world adventurer.

Awarded Best of Zola
Brent's work jumped out at me before I even met him as something special, and his professionalism and experience shone through in our interactions with 550Park all the way through. He was so easy to work with and really helped put us both at ease (not the easiest task!) as well as taking the time to get to know us and what we wanted. He did a truly wonderful job capturing our outdoor wedding. His work is natural not just in how he works with the natural surroundings and lighting, but also in capturing so many great candid moments of us for our film. He even took the time to sit down and interview our family and friends to film sentimental clips of them sharing heartfelt stories about us and wishing us the best, (especially on such a busy day when we didn't get to spend tons of time individually with all of our loved ones) we can hear what they would have liked to say to us on our wedding day, lol. When we look at the films he created for us, we are instantly swept up in re-living that day. I would wholeheartedly recommend Brent to anyone looking for an excellent luxury videographer!

She was always present yet never once felt in the way of any action, and captured all the best moments. Even over a year later I couldn't find the video, Fen emailed me back in a few hours and was able to assure me not all was lost. I HIGHLY recommend Fen, you wont be disappointed!

Films are my life. Everything I do is seen through the lens of a camera. It's my life and love, and I strive to create the most cinematic films I can. I have been working full-time in the event industry since I graduated from film school in 2000, and I have captured well over a 1000 events. My job as a cinematographer is to create a cinematic film of your day that is both natural and magical. When I'm working, I prefer to be as discrete as possible, therefore I don't like to do too much staging of shots. I like the more natural films and that is what I strive for with every job I take on.

I loved working with Chris! He was really friendly and helped make the entire process really easy. He was always quick to respond to my emails and he always kept in contact with us as the wedding got closer. His work speaks for itself and we were more than happy with our videos!

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!

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!

Logan, the owner, was our videographer and he was so professional, kind, and great to work with. He is super quick with communication, answered all of our questions, and he made sure to ask the right questions to capture our wedding day the way we wanted. On our wedding day, he gave us some advice and helped calm our nerves, he was so friendly. We did a ceremony video and a highlights reel and added on toasts. They were all so great and I can't wait to watch them every year on our anniversary. A lot of my friends told us they wished they had a videographer at their wedding and I can see why. It will be so great to have these memories to watch over and over. Then we had Mike as our DJ and he was great to work with.
