The Story
behind the lens
Welcome to
Telephone Studios
Telephone Studios is a boutique wedding film studio in the Hudson Valley — and across New York and wherever you’re celebrating. We keep the crew small, the camera close, and the films honest enough to still matter in twenty years.
It's a young studio, and intentionally personal. The films aren't handed down a production line—Josh shoots and edits each one himself, so what you feel watching it back is what was actually in the room.
We're building it from the Hudson Valley outward—local estates now, New York and destinations next—one film at a time, and only as fast as the work stays good.
How we work
No staging, no “look at each other and laugh.” We shoot documentary-style—close, quiet, mostly unnoticed—and let the day run on its own clock.
Then we cut. The edit is where a wedding becomes a film: the glance you missed, the toast that landed, the ten seconds you'll come back to for years. That's the part we obsess over.

Our Values
Artistry
Every film is graded, scored, and paced by hand. No presets, no template, no two alike.
Authenticity
We film what happens, not what we'd stage. The best moments are the ones nobody planned.
Reliability
Dual cameras, backed-up footage, insured, and an edit we don't send until it's right. The boring part matters.
Closeness
We work small and stay near, so the camera reads as a guest in the room, not a crew.
