Long Story Short: You and Me

Your love story deserves more than just a wedding video—it deserves something the world has never seen before.

Imagine your romance as the first episode of an award-winning docuseries. Crafted with the pacing, polish, and emotional depth of premium television, Long Story Short: You and Me transforms your wedding into a beautifully produced, deeply personal narrative. Through cinematic storytelling, confessional-style interviews, and heartfelt testimonials, we capture not just how your day looked, but exactly how it felt.

This isn’t just a wedding video. It’s a powerful, binge-worthy narrative that tells your story from the moment you met to the day you say “I do”—the prequel to the rest of your life. You’ll laugh, cry, and relive every moment through a lens of storytelling and production value no other wedding videographer can offer.

Yes, you’ll receive a stunning wedding video, expertly shot by professionals with decades of television experience. But we don’t stop there.

Our process is intentionally personal and deeply collaborative. We meet with you before the wedding, get to know your story and film private interviews to build the narrative arc—so when your film is done, it’s not just beautiful. It’s you.

At the heart of this is Justin Ciambra, a New York City-based seasoned TV producer and editor with over 20 years of experience on acclaimed shows like Say Yes to the Dress, House Hunters International, and Pawn Stars. Backed by a hand-selected team of elite television professionals, he brings the full force of television storytelling to your real-life love story.

Every Signature Series film includes:

  • A full cinematic wedding day film
  • Pre-wedding interviews to build your story arc
  • A backstory segment that describes your love story from day one
  • A family-friendly legacy edit for future generations
  • A 20-minute docu-style episode: "Long Story Short: You and Me"

This is a premium, bespoke production that takes 3–5 months to complete—because something this meaningful isn’t rushed.

We only work with a limited number of couples each year to keep our quality high and our focus personal. If you're dreaming of something unforgettable, one-of-a-kind, and truly moving, we’d love to tell your story the way it deserves to be told.

Anyone can film your wedding.

Only one studio can turn it into your legacy.

Best wedding footage we never thought we needed until we got It!

Justin is amazing! We couldn’t be happier with the wedding video that was created for us—it was truly perfect in every way. Every detail was captured beautifully, from the small, quiet moments to the big, emotional highlights. The video told the full story of our day, including the moments that led up to it, and watching it feels like reliving everything all over again. The artistry, attention to detail, and emotional depth were beyond anything we could have imagined. We are so grateful for the care and talent that went into creating something we’ll cherish forever.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
