Michael Canzoniero (videographer)
A note from Kelly: “I met Mike at one of the first weddings I ever shot. I liked him right away and have been recommending him to clients ever since. It's critical that the videographer and photographer work well together. We share the same ‘fly-on-the-wall’ approach and have learned to anticipate each other's moves over the years. Mike and I compliment each other rather than compete. He's a gifted filmmaker and editor and I'm thrilled to have him as part of the team.”
A professional cameraman and editor, Michael has been filming weddings since he was an award-winning student at the prestigious New York University Graduate Film Program (class of '98). His work has played Sundance, Tribeca, SXSW, Hamptons and the Centerpiece of the New York Film Festival at Lincoln Center. Interestingly enough, his most recent film takes a comical look at the wedding videography business itself. Entitled "The Wedding Bros.", the comedic feature stars Tony Winner Dan Fogler (Balls of Fury) and is being distributed by Universal Home Video later this year.
Widely considered by New York wedding planners to be one of the top event videographers in the city, Michael utilizes state of the art equipment and brings a professional filmmaker's eye to every event he shoots. With the goal of being as unobtrusive as possible, utilizing long lens cinematography and minimal lighting, he's able to capture the most natural, authentic moments of the day.
It seems the only time people dress up these days are at weddings. It's the perfect setting to make beautiful portraits of your guests. Think of the On-Site Photo Studio as a photo booth Vanity Fair-style. We'll set up a compact photo studio, complete with high fashion studio lighting, black backdrop and an award-winning photojournalist and portrait photographer behind the camera. Guest portraits are displayed in a slideshow that is constantly updated with new photos.
On site printing is also available, they make the perfect favor for your guests. Who needs another box of chocolates?
The Studio can be booked a la carte for weddings or special events.
Packages start at $1800
You just got engaged...now what? Why not take a moment to enjoy and document your time as an engaged couple and get to know your photographer in the process. After all, we spend more time with you on your wedding day than your fiance! NYC is the perfect backdrop—we'll help you choose a location that suits your style as a couple. Shoots typically last an hour, and we promise we won't make you get down on one knee and re-enact the proposal.
Maternity, Baby and Family Portraits
First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes....the baby portrait! As my couples start their families, they call on me to document the steps along the way. It's so amazing to watch them grow as a couple: from newly engaged, to saying "I do", to "Billy smile for Kelly!". The shoots are always lively, with a focus on play and spontaneity instead of matching turtlenecks and cheesy smiles. On-location shoots can take place in the home, at a park or a favorite neighborhood playground.
