How we score

Rating is the live Google average for each business. Review volume shows how many clients actually left a rating, and higher volume counts as stronger evidence over time. Confidence weighs the rating against that volume, so a perfect score on a smaller sample carries less weight than a strong score across hundreds of reviews. Recency checks how current the reviews are. No business can pay to change any of these numbers.

How much does videography cost in New York? (2026)

Video production pricing in New York depends heavily on project scope, wedding and event coverage generally start at a set base rate, while commercial and brand video work is quoted per project based on crew size, equipment, and editing complexity. Studio rentals for shorter, self-directed shoots run separately from full-service production packages.

Job	Typical price
Wedding/event video production, starting	From $1,500
Studio rental (photo/video)	$50/hour

Prices compiled August 2026 from SHMONG’s published site pricing and Photo Studio 308’s studio rental rate.

Serving all of New York

These businesses operate across Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, and the wider tri-state area, with several based near Midtown, the Financial District, and the Empire State Building. If you’re searching for videographers near me from Brooklyn or Queens, most of these teams travel across the boroughs without extra fees within a set radius, so central Manhattan location matters less than matching the right specialty to your project.

What to ask before you hire a videographer

What’s included in the final delivery, raw footage, edited highlight reel, or both?
What’s the typical turnaround time from shoot to final edit?
Is the team insured, and licensed for drone footage if needed?
Are there travel fees outside a set radius?
How many revisions are included in the editing process?
Can I see full, unedited sample projects, not just highlight reels?

Frequently asked questions

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from public Google data. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner (badge + top placement), but that never changes another business’s score or position.

How did you choose these videographers?

We pulled real Google Business Profiles for video production services across New York and ranked them by rating, review volume, and how recently clients left reviews.

How often is this updated?

This page reflects Google data verified in August 2026 and is refreshed periodically to keep ratings and review counts current.

Which of these is best for a wedding?

Photo Video Create specializes specifically in weddings, engagements, and family portraits, while SHMONG also covers wedding and event work alongside its corporate client roster.

Who should I call for a corporate brand video?

Tone Films is the most explicitly commercial-focused option here, with insurance and drone licensing built for brand and corporate cinema work.

The bottom line

For most projects, SHMONG’s range and deep review base make it the safest starting call. If your need is specific, headshots, brand film, or a wedding, go straight to the specialist name above rather than a generalist. Confirm turnaround time and revisions before booking.
