About

Apart from traditional wedding videography, LOVE IN PROGRESS’ process of videotapeing and editing incorporates a stylish approach that results in a unique record of the event. As a personal memento of the couple’s relationship, the LIP’s production crew make sure that an unassuming approach coincides with the celebration. By allowing the couple to focus on the festivities and nuptials, the videographers are able to capture the spontaneous, exciting, and tender moments throughout the day. Equipment is compact and portable, making for minimal intrusion and ease of mobility. Shooting is simultaneously candid and unobtrusive. Live sound recorded and set to music, the uniquely designed format make the sensibility of the couple expressed in moving image. Motoko Fukuyama is the expressive mind behind LIP. She is based in New York City and willing to travel worldwide to work for you.

Repeat Customer!

We hired Motoko and her team for both of our daughters' weddings and we highly recommend their services! From our first contact to receipt of the videos, they were professional, supportive, and creative. It is amazing how they captured all of the important (and quiet) moments of the day w/o ever being intrusive. The editing and final products are perfect. Thank you Motoko!

Our video was absolutely incredible

I would 100% recommend Motoko and her team. They captured our day perfectly and worked so seamlessly with all of our other vendors. They were truly “flies on the wall” and captured every detail of the day without interfering. Our videos were so well done and are mementos of our wedding we will cherish forever.

Love in Progress is the BEST

We worked with Motoko from Love in Progress for our May '23 NYC wedding and had a wonderful experience doing so. She produced a beautiful, high quality video that captured the essence of our wedding (and really the entire day) perfectly. She did such a great job weaving together touching moments, a lively dance floor, and the NY backdrop in a way that truly encapsulated the day. Motoko was very easy to work with - she was highly responsive leading up to the event, and on the day she and her team were not intrusive at all. Somehow they managed to capture everything without us even realizing they were there. We especially appreciated what a great sport Motoko was when we were blessed with some pretty inclement weather. She was game to go around the city capturing city shots, which was very important to us.

We are so grateful to Motoko and her team for capturing our day so perfectly and could not recommend her more highly. We keep watching the video over and over again!

So grateful we chose Love in Progress

We were debating about having a videographer at our wedding and I’m so glad that we did. Love in Progress captures our day perfectly! We have an amazing highlight video that I watch often when I was to reminisce about the best day and a longer video which is amazing to remember all of the speeches. They did a perfect job of capturing the day without making the day about creating a video. They were a delight to work with and I love our content so much! I know that I wish cherish this capturing of our memories forever! Highly recommend making the same decision that we did!

Couldn't be happier

Motoko was the videographer at our older daughter's wedding several years ago and she recently did the video at our younger daughter's wedding. Both times we were thrilled with the results. She was unobtrusive during the ceremony and reception, and captured everything perfectly. I would highly recommend her. A pleasure to work with. If I had a third daughter I would hire her again!

5 Stars for Love in Progress!

Motoko was one of my favorite wedding vendors to work with for our wedding in January 2020. My photographer recommended her and from our first email exchange, she was responsive and willing to go the extra mile.

I barely knew that she was there filming as I was getting ready (which is what you want!) yet she captured the "behind the scenes" content perfectly!

Our wedding got a bit off schedule, with some snow and other things taking longer than expected. Motoko didn't hesitate to stay, making sure to capture our wedding in its entirety!

After our wedding, she sent us a one minute trailer within a week! You have no idea how exciting this was. She delivered our package in its entirety well before the agreed upon date. We are BEYOND thrilled with our videos (we basically watch them on repeat)! We are so grateful to have them to remember our day forever.

I can not recommend Motoko and Love in Progress enough!!!!

Motoko perfectly captured all the special moments of our wedding day and we didn't even notice when she had the camera on us. She did an amazing job recognizing our personalities as a couple and pulling together those resonant moments into a highlight reel format. I highly recommend Love in Progress for their talent and ability to tap into the energy of the wedding.

Whether we watch the 6-min teaser or the 1¼-hour movie that Love In Progress made for us, it feels like re-living our wedding weekend! There are two key things that make Motoko great. First, she cares about you and delivering a video that you’ll love. Second, she pays attention to detail. For example, Motoko knew that we wanted to use the speeches more heavily than in her other videos. So she set the speeches to quiet instrumentals from our favorite songs and then paired the soundtrack to video clips that reflected their content (e.g., when my brother-in-law spoke of my husband and my shared joy in being active, Motoko paired it with clips of us playing soccer and cricket with our guests). Motoko is very easy to work with and is a sweet, joyful person! She was also diligent about finishing the movies on the agreed schedule. If we ever hire a photographer again, it will be Motoko and Love in Progress!

Motoko and her team are the best! I would recommend Love in Progress to any Bride and Groom. On the day of our wedding they were discreet and not a distraction to the day in any way which is very important. The final product was unbelievable. They captured every special moment of our day in a beautiful and perfect way. The editing and blend of music in the video is simply incredible. We are thrilled that we will have this video that captures our love so magically to share with our family and future family forever.

We are really happy that we chose Motoko and Love In Progress Video Productions. Motoko was very easy to work with and the videos came out great. We ordered the highlight package which included a short highlight film and a long edited video (approx. 60 minutes). The videos took a while to arrive but they were absolutely worth the wait. We highly recommend Love In Progress for anyone looking for a great wedding videographer.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
