New York Wedding Videographer

BESPOKE ∞ INTENTIONAL ∞ AUTHENTIC

New York is a place of contrasts — energy and intimacy, architecture and nature, movement and stillness.

I am Kostas, the filmmaker behind Cinema of Poetry.
As a New York wedding videographer, I approach each celebration not as a template to replicate, but as a narrative to discover. My work blends cinematic sensitivity with an intentional, story-driven process — creating wedding films that feel personal, immersive, and deeply connected to who you are.

This approach has shaped my work across Europe and internationally. Couples who value artistry, narrative, and emotional depth choose to bring me wherever their story unfolds — whether in Tuscany, Athens, or Upstate New York.

Selected Wedding Films

Below is a curated selection of wedding films that represent my visual language and storytelling approach — created in New York and internationally.

These films reflect the intentional, cinematic perspective I bring to every celebration, regardless of geography.

A Distinctive, Story-Driven Approach

What sets my work apart is not location — it is intention.

I take the time to understand who you are, how you relate, what you value, and what defines your connection. This allows each film to emerge organically from your personalities rather than from trends or expectations.

My approach is discreet and observant. I do not direct emotions or stage moments. Instead, I pay attention to rhythm, light, silence, gesture — the subtle spaces where your story truly lives.

Over the years, this philosophy has received international recognition from professional associations and film festivals. These acknowledgments are not the goal — but a reflection of a consistent commitment to craft, authenticity, and artistic integrity.

For couples seeking something refined, intentional, and emotionally resonant, geography becomes secondary to vision.

New York Wedding Videographer Investment & Collections

Wedding videography investment in New York varies depending on coverage, timeline, and travel logistics.

Rather than fixed packages, collections are shaped around your celebration and the narrative you want preserved. A typical collection may include:

  • a Short Film (5–7 minutes),
  • a Feature Film (15–20 minutes),
  • and a Social Media Reel (30–60 seconds).

Additional films, such as full ceremony or speeches, are available when desired.

Each proposal is created after understanding your venue, priorities, and overall vision.
