Mint Wedding Cinematography — Local services in New York

Booking Mint Cinematography was one of many great decisions we made during our wedding planning. Booking a cinematographer was one of the last things we did. The truth is, we were unsure if we would be able to hire based on our budget and everything we had already spent. As our wedding day approached I really did not want to give this up! I needed our day captured!! Especially seeing how much amazing talent is currently out there! I did a ton of research and was not too happy with what I was finding. In order to get great quality footage, rough, edited and a trailer you had to be ready to pay up! We stumbled upon Mint’s website and then our photographers Cottonwood Studios recommended we check them out. We set up a meeting with Mint at a coffee shop in Brooklyn. We loved their work from our research and felt really good about this meeting. Their style of shooting, non invasive, capturing the true events and feel of the day was what attracted us to them in addition to the modern feel of their editing and even look of their website. When we met with Mint, they were super chill and laid back! A match made in heaven for my husband and I who were really just trying to make decisions that felt right. Mint felt right. We booked during the meeting. On the day of the wedding, Mint arrived on time and got right to work. My husband and I were in the same hotel so they were able to easily spend time with both the men and women while we all got ready. They were so good at their job I often did not even notice them there. When looking back at the footage I am still in awe of everything they captured. I kept saying to myself “How and When did they get this?!” They were totally not in our way at all during that day as I have seen at other weddings! We got everything on our wish list, the rough footage, a feature edit and a trailer. We sent our music picks for the video and it was pure perfection. Our wedding footage will be something we will always treasure. They had to choose two more songs in addition to the ones we had picked in order to cover the amount of time and WOW, the two songs they chose happen to be two of my favorite songs of all time. When I watched for the first time, I cried. And even now months later I get the chills when I watch. It is honestly a powerful experience to see your dreams become a reality and to know you invested your money in the right people. We are so thankful for Mint and we would recommend them over...

First of all, my husband and I did not want a videographer for our wedding. We didn't want a lot of strangers there, being all invasive with jumbo cameras, and taking a cheesy wedding video that would make us misremember the magic of our wedding day. But, my mother insisted that we have one, so my sister shopped around on our behalf- and can I say that we are THRILLED that my sister found Mint Cinematography. After viewing some of their sample films online and liking their work, my husband and I met up with Chris at a little coffee shop in Brooklyn and we talked all about what we did and did not want. And Chris was totally cool. He listened to us, and understood us. He wasn't pushy or cheesy or crazy wedding industrial complex aggressive, he was just a normal guy who likes to make films. We wanted a smaller package, because again, NON invasive was our biggest concern, but we had a lot of performance elements in our wedding. So, promising that he would not be invasive at all, Chris offered to throw in a second videographer for a few hours to help capture some of the more complicated performances at no extra charge. He just wanted to make sure that he captured our wedding as accurately as possible. And Chris was totally true to his word, Zach (the second videographer) and Chris were so non invasive and they used such small cameras that most people at the wedding didn't even know that anyone was there filming at all! But the best part is that both the trailer and the feature length films that Chris made for us were so perfect. They were artistically shot and edited and completely captured the essence of our wedding day. My husband and I were both blown away by the final product. Another great thing is that the films captured a lot of details that our photographers missed, and vice versa. So it is really fun to have more than one professional perspective to capture all of the meaningful details of your wedding day. We LOVE our wedding videos that Mint made. Working with Chris was easy and enjoyable from our first meeting to when we got our DVD's and external hard drive in the mail, which is such a breath of fresh air considering how stressful planning and throwing a...

After an exhaustive search for wedding cinematographers, spending hours on Vimeo watching video after video, I stumbled upon Mint Wedding Cinematography. I had passed over many other cinematographers because I wasn’t captivated by their videos, pressing, “stop” after 20 seconds; but I really enjoyed Mint’s style and the emotions they were able to capture.

My husband and I were getting married in St Lucia and Mint offered us a great package to capture not only the wedding and reception, but also our photo shoot the morning after, and our snorkeling and catamaran tour for our wedding guests. They even captured some great moments two days afterwards while our families and friends were enjoying an afternoon at the beach.

St Lucia has some of the most breathtaking views, and my husband and I were adamant about capturing footage from above; so we ordered a drone online and scheduled it to ship to Zach before his and Emilia’s flight (we had to fly down earlier to finalize everything). Unfortunately, the drone never shipped from the retailer; however, Zach was on top of it and ran to B&H to pick up a drone for us so we wouldn’t miss capturing those stunning views. He even used their GoPro to shoot underwater during our snorkeling excursion and included it in both our videos.

Emilia and Zach were so wonderful during the entire trip; I barely even noticed they were there…which is a good thing because the last thing you want is a camera in your face the entire time. They were professional, courteous, and a lot of fun to be around! On our last day everyone was hanging out like old friends, enjoying the last full day in paradise.

I must give Zach a huge “thank you” because he was so patient with me giving my opinions and suggestions on how I’d like the final videos to look. I know there’s not much that’s more annoying than someone trying to tell you how to do your job; but he let me be involved, which I greatly appreciated.

I highly recommend using Mint Wedding Cinematography to capture your special day. Our videos are spectacular and I catch myself watching them ever so often to take me back to such a wonderful moment in my life. I cannot thank...
