Your wedding day shot on a real MiniDV-style consumer camcorder — lo-fi, warm and full of the day’s original sound. Five hours of coverage for $1,600, booked on its own or added to any wedding film collection.
The Handycam is a real consumer camcorder, the kind families used to pass around at celebrations: a small MiniDV / digital video camera with a soft, standard-definition-style image and an unmistakably home-video feel. It doesn’t look like a production. It looks like a memory.
That little camera changes the room, too. Guests tend to relax around it, wave at it and talk to it the way they would a relative holding the family camcorder — so the footage feels candid, funny and close, with the day’s real sound running through it: vows, speeches, laughter, music and all the noise of the party.
North Fork Wedding Films shoots The Handycam at weddings across Long Island — the North Fork, the Hamptons and beyond — as a package of its own, or alongside our regular wedding film coverage.
A real camcorder, five hours of the day, and both versions of the footage: everything, plus the short edit.
The Handycam is a package of its own — book it solo, with no other coverage required. The package includes:
Already booking one of our wedding film collections — the Highlight Film, Highlight + Raw, or Gold Video?
The Handycam can be added to any of them for the same $1,600, shot alongside your regular coverage — the polished film for the full story of the day, the camcorder for the home movie you’ll rewatch like family footage.
No filters pretending to be old — the look comes from the camera itself.
Across 5 hours of the wedding day, we shoot on a real consumer camcorder — the little camera moving through the celebration the way a family member’s would.
Afterwards the footage is digitized and assembled into a short edited video in the order it happened, cut to a music song of your choice.
You receive both: the raw camcorder footage — every moment, with the day’s original audio — and the short edited video, delivered as a digital file / viewing link.
Two different kinds of old-school. Super 8 is real film; The Handycam is real video tape-era footage — with sound.
We shoot The Handycam at weddings across Long Island — including the venues where our wedding films are made:
360 East at Montauk Downs, Bellport Country Club, Brecknock Hall, Captain Bill’s, Corey Creek Vineyards, East Wind, Fox Hollow, Giorgio’s at Baiting Hollow, Larkfield, Meadowlark North Fork, North Fork Country Club, Oceanbleu, Peconic Bay Yacht Club, Pellegrini Vineyards, RGNY, Sea Cliff Manor, Sound View Greenport, Sparkling Pointe, Stonebridge Country Club, The Halyard at Sound View, The Piermont, The Vineyards at Aquebogue, Timber Point.
It is shot on a real old-school Handycam-style camcorder — a small consumer video camera from the MiniDV era, not a modern cinema camera. That is what gives the footage its genuine home-video character.
Yes. The raw camcorder footage carries the day’s original audio — the vows, speeches, laughter and room sound as they happened. The short edited video is built around a music song of your choice.
The Handycam includes 5 hours of coverage on the wedding day, shot across the celebration in the relaxed, in-the-moment style of a family home movie.
Deliberately lo-fi. Expect a standard-definition-style home-video image with an on-camera feel — softer and less polished than our regular wedding films. That unpolished, nostalgic quality is exactly the point of the package.
Either way. Book The Handycam as a solo package for $1,600, or add it to any of our wedding film collections — the Highlight Film, Highlight + Raw, or Gold Video — for the same $1,600, shot alongside your regular coverage.
You receive both the raw footage from the camcorder and a short edited video cut to a music song of your choice. Both are delivered as a digital file / viewing link.
