About

Hello! My name is Shane Kress and I truly enjoy producing wedding films. My experience working in live television gives me an advantage to capturing candid moments during a wedding day and ultimately to producing your unique wedding video.

I accept a limited number of weddings per year so I will spend more time getting every detail of your wedding video perfect. I'll tell your story by blending cinematic and journalistic styles while being as unobtrusive as possible. My goal is to capture the memories of your day, not be a part of them.

Your video package will be 100% customized for you and rates start at $2400. My studio services all parts of NJ, as well as Manhattan, Philadelphia, and Los Angeles.

Highly recommend!

We really appreciated working with Kress. Shane answered all of our many questions kindly and in detail throughout the entire process both on phone and by email, from sending us additional sample videos with certain features to reviewing our timeline. He was also flexible with the hours the two videographers would be there when we told him we wanted someone there at the end to capture a last dance. On the day of the wedding Corbin was such a joyous and professional presence. When we received the video we asked if we could have a little more dance footage included and Shane took care of that too. We will treasure the end product. We were very happy with our experience with Kress and highly recommend!

Look no further.

I am writing this even before I receive my finished product back, but I already know I'll be thrilled with it when I get it. Shane is amazing. From the initial emails and phone conversations straight through to the wedding day, he was kind, responsive, and thorough. On the day of our wedding, the weather was a little iffy. Shane knew I desperately wanted drone footage in our video, and he showed up early to make sure he got it before the weather took a turn. That seems so small but it meant the world to me; it's going that extra mile to make sure I'm happy with the wedding video I will have for the rest of my life. You can tell he understands and takes very seriously the role he plays in your big day. He was great to work with, made us feel very comfortable and I seriously didn't even realize he or his assistant were there for most of the night. I have cried watching everyone else's wedding videos on his website, and I know I'll do the same when I receive mine. Do not hesitate to hire Shane - he is the guy you want filming your wedding.

Amazing experience

We looked through so many videographers looking for the perfect one and happened upon one of Kress Production's videos and thought it was amazing. We looked through the rest of the videos on their site and loved every single one and knew we had to have them do our wedding video. Kress did an incredible job with our wedding videos. I have watched them so many times since receiving them and they always perfectly capture the emotion of the day - the way they perfectly edit the videos so that the music and the speeches are all perfectly timed and placed really blew me away. Shane was incredibly easy to work with throughout the whole planning process and was very responsive and his team was amazing day of the wedding. I would highly recommend choosing Kress Productions for your wedding video - there is no way you will be disappointed with them.

High Quality Films Created with a Personal Touch

Kress Productions and Shane in particular were more than I could have imagined a videographer could be.

My husband and I were going back and forth on if we even needed a videographer, but after seeing Shane's work on a close friend's wedding, we booked him right away. He was a pleasure to work with from the start, making sure he knew what was important to us and really and truly caring about our opinions. He was loved by all on the day of the event - and even let my four year old niece "help" him film at certain points when she was getting antsy!

We received so many compliments on just how awesome Shane was - most people didn't even know we had a videographer at the wedding! - and if they did interact with him, had only wonderful things to say. The films we received were not only beautiful and personal, but were mini works of art - lovingly captured and skillfully edited. We can't thank Shane enough for allowing us to remember our wedding in such a lovely way. All in all - we cannot recommend Kress Productions highly enough!

If you’re going back and forth about whether to get a wedding video...do yourself a favor and book with Shane because it’ll be the best money you ever spent! We got the short film video for our NYE wedding and it’s absolutely wonderful. The cinematography tells the story of all of best and most treasured parts of our day. You can truly tell that Shane loves what he does - it’s not just a job for him. He was great from the start from explaining all of the details and what to expect during and after the wedding. Couldn’t be happier!

Perhaps like some of you, we were on the fence about a videographer initially, and couldn't have been happier in hiring Shane. He and his assistant were extremely professional and captured all key moments. He knew when to step in and give direction but could also be a ninja in the background to capture candid moments. He was also open to some of our preferences or suggestions which was greatly appreciated. Our end product was fantastic and he really knocked our cinematic trailer out of the park. Compared to other videographers, we thought he stood out in terms of his creative vision for trailers, excellent audio quality, smooth transitions, and fun (but not overused) effects such as slow motion. The trailer combined with the documentary edits created a lovely memory of the day.

Videography has become an integral component of weddings. I love that it captures wedding toasts, stolen glances, and first dances. Planning for a wedding can be stressful, but it makes a world of difference when you have the right team by your side. On my wedding day, I was surprised at how carefree I felt. I was able to enjoy the whole day because I knew I made the right choice in choosing my vendors and that they would do their best to capture every moment.
Kress Productions was so easy to work with. Shane Kress communicates well and responds quickly to emails. One week before the wedding, we spoke on the phone to discuss in detail the timing and itinerary for the day so he can prepare and also offer advice on how to best organize the day efficiently. On our wedding day, he came almost 1 hour early to set up and we had so much fun shooting with him. We also appreciate that he wants to give each project careful attention and produce the best video possible. We highly recommend Kress Productions because, plain and simple, they are fun to work with and very reliable!

Shane and his team were a pleasure to work with from the day we spoke over email to get to know each other. He was a great listener and really worked hard to make sure we got what we wanted. Leading up to the wedding day he was super organized and reached out to speak about our schedule to ensure everything went smoothly, and on the day of, he was nothing short of extremely professional. He showed up early, took care to make sure we felt comfortable and was a joy to spend the day with. He was the best investment we made! Shane is amazing.

PERFECT!

We hired Kress Productions for our wedding on 9.16.2016 at the Liberty House in Jersey City. Kress Productions was referred to us by our photographer Jorge Garcia. Since Jorge and Kress Productions have collaborated for numerous weddings and have a great working relationship we thought it would be a great idea to consider hiring Kress Productions. Their work is beautiful and the style was exactly what were looking for!! After my first conversation with Shane I knew I wanted to hire him and his team right away! He was very nice, easy to communicate with and no question was a silly question. On our wedding day Shane was prompt and went right to work. My husband and I, our wedding party and parents felt very comfortable with the production team capturing our special moments. Shane is the owner of the production company and he is also the main person filming on the day of the wedding along with an assistant. I am so happy we went with a self owned production company because he really takes pride in his work and delivers in a timely manner. When we watched our highlight video I was very very happy with it!! It brought tears to my eyes and it brought us back to our wedding day! All of our loved ones loved it as well! Not too long after we received the blue ray with the whole wedding footage. I have heard horror stories about photographers & videographers; whether they do not work well with one another, they are rude, or they take very long to deliver footage of the wedding day. I can say we did not have any of those issues! It is very important that the photographer and videographer mesh well with one another. I highly recommend hiring Kress Productions to capture that special day!!!

Working with Shane and his team was an absolute pleasure, and I can't say that about every videographer I've worked with. In addition to the great job he was doing for the couple, he was proactive throughout the entire day to ensure my team and I were able to get what we needed without interference from his crew. The definition of a professional team!

Chris Jorda Photography Chris Jorda Photography Wedding Photographers

When working along videography, photographers hope there is a balanced approach to the wedding day. Shane and his crew understand when to step in and lend a hand, or when to stay unobtrusive. It's this kind of team work that helps create a beautiful atmosphere for the couple. We highly recommend Kress Productions for your big day!
