Five Stars - Harlan Kramer is hailed as the greatest videographer in the world and beyond, renowned for his unparalleled storytelling, capturing stories with unequaled creativity and mastery that his work transcends all boundaries while resonating across the universe.

-His Mother

Harlan Kramer Films is a documentary wedding videographer based in the Northern New Jersey area of Parsippany. The videographer, Harlan, believes in capturing every moment of a couple’s wedding, even if it means staying late or going out of his way. He develops a relationship with couples before the wedding to find out exactly what they're looking for because he knows that there is only one opportunity to get the perfect shot on the big day. There’s no staging of special moments, and this videographer aims to be as unobtrusive as possible, leaving couples with a wedding video they can cherish their entire lifetime.

Experience
Harlan Kramer got his hands on his first camera at age seven, right before he dropped it on the ground, thinking it would bounce. Later in life, working as a freelancer, he found the constraints of contracts unreasonable. Harlan didn't believe in leaving a wedding just because his time was up, especially when there were still moments to capture on film. He began Harlan Kramer Films to break that pattern in his work, now never missing a moment from a couple’s big day.

Filmed our wedding exactly as we wanted to remember it

Harlan was everything we could've asked for in a videographer. He was entirely low maintenance, dependable, and independent, and he captured our wedding exactly how we wanted to remember it. Leading up to the wedding, Harlan was extremely flexible and incredibly responsive. All he needed to know was when and where, and he was there. At the wedding, Harlan worked seamlessly with our photographer and was barely even noticable as he captured the entire day on a few different cameras and angles as a one-man show. The footage came out beautiful and very cinematic with shots I have no recollection of him filming in the first place. If you're looking for someone to film your wedding exactly as you want to remember it, look no further and check on his availability now.

Perfect choice for our wedding videographer!

We loved working with Harlan! He helped us plan details of the wedding leading up to it and made sure he knew where he had to be and when to capture all of our special moments! On the day of the wedding, he made everyone laugh and kept the energy up. We received both our highlight video and long video very quickly and love both of them! I am so happy we have them to look back on all of the happy memories! Thank you Harlan!

High Quality, Non Invasive, Down to Earth Videographer

Our photographer, Gary Flom, recommended Harlan to me as a videographer and I am so beyond glad he did. I will never forget Gary showing me photos of videographers at weddings completely blocking important moments and being very invasive. Something I never really thought about! Gary recommended Harlan, saying that they worked well together and he was very noninvasive. Well, I am SO THRILLED we decided to book with him. Harlan was always quick to respond and very flexible. With Covid times, plans changed A LOT. Harlan never had an issue and was always willing to accommodate the changes. He truly made it a breeze. One of my favorite moments of our wedding day was actually looking over Brooklake Country Club in the morning and just chatting with Harlan. He was one of the first vendors to arrive and he was so down to earth and genuine. Even though Harlan and I had not met until the day of the wedding, he took the time to really get to know my husband and me as a couple. That really meant so much to me. As for invasive? Harlan was not! I mean this in the best way possible, but you barely knew he was there! When we saw our highlight reel, we were beyond happy. Harlan had our highlight reel to us in less than a week from the wedding and it was absolutely perfect. He was able to capture each small detail and moment that made the day so intimate and special, so much so that we had people reaching out to us telling us that the video made them cry! I am truly blown away by Harlan’s performance. I highly HIGHLY recommend him. Book him now! I promise you will not regret it!

Harlan is amazing!

From start to finish, Harlan was the most AMAZING videographer for our wedding day. He was flexible, understanding, and reassuring when we had to postpone our wedding celebration from April to August. He truly captured every single special moment of our day, and you would not even know he was there. He arrived early at the start of the day just to have more time to capture all that he needed to. We received our highlight film in less than one week and when we watched it, our jaws were dropped. It had all of our family and friends in tears. We cannot wait to see the fully edited version of our day. He is extremely talented and he does not miss any special moment. I would highly recommend Harlan to anyone. We can't wait to rewatch our special day forever!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
