Services
Couture Motion does exactly what their company name suggests—they handcraft stylish wedding films suited to the specific idiosyncrasies of each couple they work with. They’re a husband and wife team with an extensive background both in front of the camera and behind the scenes. Ian holds an MFA in Film from Columbia University and Megan’s an accomplished actress, dancer and photographer. They draw upon this background to create wedding films that not only capture the events of the day, but also the raw emotions and experiences of the bride and groom.
They accomplish this through the use of film-style cameras and lenses, professional editing, color correction and audio mixing like you’d find in a Hollywood movie. What makes their films different is their honest way of portraying the couple’s story—with not only breathtaking style, but also real substance. They are intent on fostering a fun, comfortable atmosphere during the wedding so their couples can relax, be themselves and be in the moment.
Collections start at $3000. Couture Motion also offers Hybrid Packages including film and photo.
Certified By The Guide Reviews
(What does this mean?)
These Reviews are from real brides who have used this vendor's services—pulled straight from their Certified by The Guide reference check. We only post reviews that we have collected, so we can feel confident that they are the real deal. Yes, we know. We're control freaks.
“Amazing. All of it was amazing. They made our story in to a piece of art that I will watch again and again. This is not your typical wedding video that gets dusty and you pull out every couple of years on your anniversary. I think we will watch it multiple times a year because of how wonderfully crafted it is.”
“I loved every minute of our film and loved everything about it.”
“The quality of film is outstanding, both sound and picture. I would put my wedding videos up against anyone’s knowing that it would win out in quality.”
“Megan and Ian are two of the most genuine, fun, caring people that I have ever met. They were so lovely during the whole process that when it came to the big day, I did not have any concern about how the film would turn out.”
“It just seems like they have such a passion for each and every wedding they film…and they put so much thought into truly capturing the feel and emotion of the day.”
“The wedding video made me feel like a movie star, it wasn’t just a video of our wedding it is like having a movie of our day.”
“They cater to your specific needs, wants, and personal style as a couple!”
“We loved them. They were so professional, fun, encouraging, supportive, and understanding that it felt like we were old friends.”
“Megan and Ian pour their heart and souls into each film.”
“The video was the best part of our wedding, and I almost didn’t even hire a videographer! I’m so glad I did and can’t imagine not having them for my wedding.”
“I have been raving about them since the day I met them. They were worth every penny and I feel like I gained two friends. What more can a gal ask for?”
Questions and Answers
What 3 words describe your work? Heartfelt. Truthful. Stirring.
Tell us about your company name. We chose the name Couture Motion because all of our films are specifically tailored to each of our clients, much like a couture garment. No two films are alike.
Why should someone hire you? Our films tell the complete story of your wedding day—from the opening nerves to the closing sighs. It's so rare that one day can produce so many emotions, one after another. A film allows you to jump into a time machine and experience the emotional journey on your day for years to come.
What are some sources of inspiration or influences on your work? We are genuinely inspired by life and the common experiences that we all share. To be witnesses to one of the defining days in each individual's life is humbling and fascinating. Capturing these moments consistently inspires us.
Tell us about a favorite, unusual or most interesting moment at a wedding. Three words...Pirate Flower Girls. Check out our blog to see what we mean.
What makes a wedding memorable for you? For us, a wedding is memorable if the couple truly experiences their day and when the event is a direct reflection of their love and bond. That's when we are able to do our best work.
If you could have any superpower on the job, what would it be? Be invisible so we could capture ALL of the moments!
What are 3 words that describe your personality? Really, really awesome.
What's your favorite marriage advice? As given to me by my grandpa on his 60th anniversary, "Pick the right one from the start."

Tell us about your pets, if you have any. We have our pseudo-child Cooper, who we rescued him from a shelter in Brooklyn. In a roundabout way, he was the catalyst for us starting this business. He is a boisterous, funny guy who loves to sleep under the covers with us. We love him.
