Manhattan studio publishing four tiers first party, from The Kit at $729 to The Feature at $4,600, with delivery in 3 to 8 weeks.
This is the rare videographer that publishes a full rate card. The Kit is $729. The Preview is $2,900 and buys one videographer, eight hours and a four minute music only highlight. The Short is $4,000 and buys two videographers and nine hours, with drone coverage and a four to five minute highlight carrying dialogue. Full edits of the ceremony, speeches and dances come with it. The Feature is $4,600 and runs to two to three videographers over ten hours. It adds drone work, a fifteen to twenty minute feature and a three to four minute highlight. A Guest Media Collection is $249. Delivery is stated at three to eight weeks by package, with an extra week added when a holiday week falls inside the window. The studio was established in 2014 and works from Manhattan.
This rate card is detailed enough to plan against, which is rare. Settle which tier includes dialogue, because the $2,900 package is music only. Confirm the hours, the crew size and the delivery window for your tier in the contract, including the holiday week clause. Then put the questions the page leaves open. Travel and parking for a Westchester venue is one. The hourly overtime charge and the cost of raw footage are two more.
The New York City location page at shutterandsound.com, including its package tiers and delivery terms, read on 11 September 2026. 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.
Manhattan is the studio’s base, and the page describes a four state region without naming Westchester once.
The Preview is $2,900 and The Short is $4,000, so the step between them is worth working out against what it buys. That step adds a second videographer and an extra hour. It also adds drone coverage, dialogue in the highlight and full cuts of the ceremony and speeches.
That is the clearest upgrade path we found in this batch. Read the tiers side by side and decide which of those five things you actually want, rather than buying the middle option by default.
Check what The Kit at $729 actually is before you assume it belongs in a wedding budget. It sits far below the other three tiers. Ask what it covers, how long a videographer stays and what is delivered. The $249 Guest Media Collection is a separate product as well, worth asking about if you want guest phone footage gathered up.
The Preview at $2,900 delivers a four minute highlight set to music with no dialogue. No vows, no speeches, no ceremony cut.
Couples who wanted to hear the vows again are the ones disappointed by that tier. If the audio matters to you, the $4,000 package is where dialogue begins.
Three to eight weeks by package, plus a week when a holiday week lands in the window. Most studios say a few months and leave it there.
Get the specific window for your tier written into the contract, with the holiday clause spelled out. Ask what a rush delivery costs if you need it sooner.
The page covers a region running from New York and New Jersey through Connecticut into Pennsylvania. Westchester does not appear on it.
Ask whether a Westchester date carries a travel or parking charge on top of the tier price. The crew’s arrival time is a second question, and the drone operator’s licensing and insurance a third.
Drone coverage is included from The Short upward, which assumes your venue allows it. Check that with the venue first, and check whether the airspace above it is restricted. Pin down what replaces the aerial footage if the drone stays in its case, and whether the tier price changes when it does.
