Lyndon and James celebrated their New Year’s Eve wedding at Brooklyn Winery, and their wedding video captures every chapter of the day, from quiet moments in the morning to a midnight countdown surrounded by 140 of their closest family and friends.
This modern NYC celebration was a beautiful example of a same-sex wedding filled with personality, movement, and unforgettable energy. Their wedding film blends intimacy and celebration seamlessly, telling the full story from Brooklyn Bridge to the dance floor.
Getting Ready Together at 1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge
The wedding video begins at 1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge, where the two grooms chose to get ready together. Instead of traditional separation, they shared the space, creating natural, candid footage that feels personal and relaxed.
We captured accessory details, family interactions, and quiet in-between moments that give depth to the final wedding film. These early scenes create emotional grounding before the high energy of the evening unfolds.
Sunset Ferry Portraits, A Cinematic NYC Moment
One of the standout sequences in their wedding video is the ferry ride from Dumbo to Williamsburg.
With sunset at 4:38 PM, we filmed skyline portraits on the water as the light faded behind Manhattan. The movement of the ferry added dynamic texture to the wedding film, turning travel time into one of the most cinematic segments of the day.
For couples planning a Brooklyn wedding video, incorporating iconic NYC elements like the ferry adds visual storytelling that feels authentic and elevated.
Ceremony Coverage at Brooklyn Winery
Back at Brooklyn Winery, we completed full audio and multi-camera setup to ensure the ceremony was captured cleanly and professionally.
Clear vows, ambient sound, and guest reactions are essential components of a strong wedding video. With proper mic placement and dual camera angles, we documented every moment of their ceremony in a way that feels immersive in the final film.
The exposed brick, candlelight, and intimate setting translated beautifully on video, adding warmth and depth.
Cocktail Hour and Reception Film Coverage
During cocktail hour, we focused on candid guest interactions, environmental footage, and detailed reception styling to build visual transitions within the wedding film.
Before guests entered for dinner, we filmed the reception room reveal. These detail shots allow the final wedding video to breathe and showcase the atmosphere before the party begins.
Champagne Tower and First Dance on Film
The champagne tower created one of the most visually striking sequences in their wedding video. As glasses filled and guests cheered, the energy escalated.
After dinner and speeches, Lyndon and James shared their first dance, followed by a family dance that brought everyone to the floor.
In a well-edited wedding film, these transitions between formal moments and celebration create rhythm and emotional pacing.
A New Year’s Eve Countdown Wedding Video Finale
New Year’s Eve weddings naturally build toward a powerful ending, and from a wedding videography perspective, midnight is the ultimate cinematic finale.
Glow sticks filled the dance floor. Late-night pizza kept guests energized. As the countdown began, we positioned cameras strategically to capture both the crowd and the couple.
When midnight struck, the room erupted into cheers, embraces, and a kiss that marked the beginning of both a new year and their marriage.
Few wedding videos end with a moment as electric as a New Year’s Eve countdown.
