Wappingers Falls studio with published tiers: cinematography $1,750 to $4,500, photo and cinema to $8,000, drone $1,000.
Secret Fire publishes an investment page with real tiers on it. Cinematography runs $1,750 for Bronze, $2,500 for Silver and $4,500 for Gold. Photo and cinema together run $3,000, $5,000 and $8,000. Aerial drone coverage is $1,000 and livestreaming is $1,500. A Content Creator package is $800 for two to three hours. Every one of those is first party, from secretfiremedia.com, which puts this studio among the most transparent vendors in this batch. Bronze covers up to five hours. The $8,000 Heirloom tier includes two cinematographers. The base is Wappingers Falls in Dutchess County, north of Westchester. The stated area is the Hudson Valley and beyond, and no travel fee for Westchester dates appears anywhere.
This is a full first party price list, rare for wedding film, and it lets you build a budget before you call. Read Bronze as a five hour block rather than a full day. Read the $8,000 Heirloom tier as the only one naming two cinematographers. The missing line is travel from Dutchess County. Get that as a figure, along with the delivery date for the finished film.
The investment page at secretfiremedia.com/investment/. It lists the cinematography tiers and the photo and cinema tiers. The drone and livestreaming prices are there, with the Content Creator package and the 48 hour turnaround. Checked September 2026. First party means the business’s own site or rate card. Marketplace means The Knot, WeddingWire, Zola, Wedding Spot or similar. Nothing here is averaged or estimated.
Wappingers Falls sits in Dutchess County, north of the Westchester line. No travel fee for county dates is stated anywhere.
Three cinematography tiers at $1,750, $2,500 and $4,500 give a couple something to reason about. Bronze at up to five hours is a ceremony and the early reception rather than a full day. That limit is stated rather than buried.
The combined photo and cinema ladder at $3,000, $5,000 and $8,000 sits alongside it. At the top, Heirloom at $8,000 puts two cinematographers on the day. That is the difference between one angle on the vows and two.
Silver at $2,500 sits in the middle of the cinematography ladder, and the page does not state its hour limit. Ask for it, since the five hour cap on Bronze is the detail that decides what the tier actually covers.
Aerial drone at $1,000 and livestreaming at $1,500 are add ons with their own figures, so the budget arithmetic is yours to do rather than a mystery. Drone work is also weather and airspace dependent, so settle what becomes of that $1,000 if the flight cannot legally happen.
The $800 Content Creator package covers two to three hours and turns footage around within 48 hours. That is the social video product rather than the film, and couples increasingly buy both. Confirm it is additive to a cinematography tier and not a substitute.
Wappingers Falls is in Dutchess County, north of Westchester. The published work includes The Dramatic Hall in Peekskill, Villa Barone Hilltop Manor, Villa Venezia and Blue Mountain Reservation, so northern Westchester is familiar ground.
The published work skews toward Peekskill and the northern end of the county, which is the part of Westchester closest to Dutchess.
A wedding in Rye or Scarsdale is a longer drive, and the investment page states no travel charge for it. That silence is the one gap in an otherwise well documented price list. Get the travel line as a number before you sign, and confirm what an early call time costs.
