Morii Media

I’m Brie — the filmmaker behind Morii Media, where I capture fleeting moments before they fade. Before starting Morii Media, I spent years editing and shooting for major brands like BuzzFeed, NBC, Nickelodeon, MTV, BET, and the NHL. I earned awards along the way — I climbed that corporate ladder — but after losing both my brother in 2017 and my father in 2020, my mindset shifted on what type of work I wanted to be creating. I wanted to create something that felt real and something that held value after COVID — that’s what drives everything I create today.

I recently attended a family wedding where Mori Media was the videographer, and I cannot express how professional, talented, and unique this company truly is. I was absolutely blown away by how incredible the video turned out. Mori Media’s style is unlike anything I’ve ever seen before their creativity, attention to detail, and storytelling are truly unmatched. Watching the final video felt like watching a movie. The lighting, effects, and natural use of the surroundings were utilized flawlessly throughout. I am beyond impressed and cannot wait to book Mori Media for my daughter’s wedding next year.

Hello! My name is Fen, nice to meet you online! I’m a freelance cinematographer and editor. I split my time between shooting weddings and indie films. I enjoy doing both because I love the thrill of operating a camera and I love people and stories! I have shot almost 400 weddings and I edit everything myself. In my spare time I love swimming, hiking, skiing, traveling with my family, writing and learning all kinds of stuff. I’m very curious about the world!

Awarded Best of Zola
Fen was wonderful to work with for out wedding on October 8th, 2023! From the very first virtual meeting all the way through the big day itself, she was so friendly and professional! On the day of our wedding she coordinated with our photographer to get video capturing the entire day from start to finish, sometimes from the same angles as our photographer and at other times different angles or multiple angles all at once! We opted to receive both the full-length format video as well as the short highlight summary, and they are both fantastic! From the drone shots of the venue in the introduction, to the wonderful B-roll video clips in the transitions, and overlaid music at times where it made sense, the videos we received are just so wonderfully put together and capture the events of the day perfectly! The highlight video struck a great balance of events throughout the day and was great to be able to post to our socials. We asked for a small change to the highlight video, and Fen was more than accommodating and had an updated version sent back out to us very quickly. And when we received and watched the full 3 hour edit, we felt transported right back to that day and like were able to completely re-live it. We are so happy with our choice to work with Fen, and overjoyed to have this special record of our big day for the rest of our lives. Overall we cannot say enough good things about Fen and her work, and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a videographer!

Hi! I’m Julia, middle name Margo, a film school dropout and music buff who wants to make your wedding look like art. I'm here to represent diversity in the couples I work with and weddings I shoot (love is love), to give you something hyper-shareable that will instantly transport you in space and time for the rest of your lives, and to make you cry upon watching. The crying is very important. Bear with me on this analogy, but basically I like my wedding films like I like my salads: raw, organic, a little bit of quirk and flare, and consumed alongside great music. If this sound pretty good to you, have a look at my work and get in touch!

Awarded Best of Zola
Margo Sees Stars created the most beautiful wedding video for my sister’s 2018 wedding so when it came time to choose my video team, working with Julia and her team was a no-brainer! As expected, our second experience with Julia and team was as comfortable and seamless as the first! If I had another sibling, Margo Sees Stars would be the videographer of choice!

Wedding Weekender is redefining wedding video with a more authentic, accessible way to capture your celebration. We send camcorders for your friends and family to film candid moments across your wedding weekend — from getting ready to the dance floor and everything in between. Afterward, our editing team shapes that footage into a thoughtful, nostalgic wedding video that feels true to your celebrations. We believe meaningful wedding video should feel personal, accessible, and rooted in real moments.

Where do I start with Wedding Weekender… if you’re looking for a camcorder for your wedding/event and to capture all the silly, raw, fun, beautiful moments, Wedding Weekender IS IT. My maid of honors surprised us with this gift and the WW team was so helpful from the beginning. Our friend knew exactly what to do with the camera, it was small and compact, and people even felt comfortable passing it around to get different POVs. We shipped it back and what we got 2 months later was beyond our wildest dreams. They made it everything we wanted: nostalgic, fun, loving, and such a perfect snapshot of our weekend. I even had 2 small edits after they delivered the video and they had it back to us right away. The team processing and editing these videos truly have a magic touch. This was priceless and we can’t wait to relive our wedding through this video forever and ever. Thank you for being a part of our special day!

Hi I’m Anthony! I’ve had a camera in my hands since I was 14 - what started as a teenage curiosity quickly grew into a lifelong passion for storytelling. Over the years, I’ve taught myself everything I know about filmmaking, and after filming my first wedding five years ago, I knew I had found my purpose. There’s something truly special about capturing the emotion, laughter, and small, unspoken moments that make a wedding day unforgettable. It’s an honor every single time I get to help couples preserve that feeling forever

Anthony captured ALL of our favorite moments during our wedding. He was very attentive and even helped guide us during certain moments when taking photos. I have recommended him to many friends and they all love him and his work!!

Hi! I'm Philip Lee and I graduated from NYU with a B.S. in Integrated Design and Media. I am pursuing a career in Videography, hoping to become a Director of Photography! In many ways, wedding videos are mini-films. I hope I can do a good job of creating a film that accurately captures your beautiful day!

Awarded Best of Zola
No need to look further - Philip is bound to be your wedding videographer. He had created for us a highlight video and a documentary, both of which beautifully captured the genuine emotions, the fleeting moments, and the small but meaningful details of our wedding. It has been such a joy reliving that day and sharing the videos with friends and loved ones. More about Philip. He is a true professional - easy to communicate with, transparent with his pricing, worked well with our photographer, and provided his deliverables in a timely manner. Beyond that, Philip is warm, energetic, and respectful. It was immensely important to us as a couple that we didn’t feel overly directed or choreographed. In fact, we barely wanted to know that we were being followed around by cameras. Phil respected our wishes - he knew when to turn up the energy and when to give us the space that we needed. We've already recommended Phil to friends who are in the middle of their own wedding planning process. TLDR: Philip is an incredibly talented videographer. Absolute delight to work with. Highly recommend.

Bruce was the absolute best! From our first phone call to my wedding day, he was so professional and kind. You can tell that he truly loves what he does. I’ll admit, I was a little worried about booking a videographer at first because I was afraid I’d be too focused on the camera following me around. But Bruce was so laidback and chill, I truly forgot he was there half the time. He’s able to step back and capture the memories in the most perfect way. We’ve already received some teaser clips before our big video is done and I immediately sob every time I watch them, he did a fantastic job! Highly recommend!

Perfect Cadence Events was very professional, and definitely the right choice for our wedding! Logan, our videographer, and Duane, our DJ, exceeded our expectations and made our wedding a day to remember. Communication leading up to our special day was very consistent and helpful. They checked in with us multiple times to discuss our vision and music taste. They sent us an invite on Vibo DJ, a website / app that allows you to make song requests and plan the timeline / logistics of the event. This made it feel effortless and natural when Duane was acting as emcee / DJ, and it helped Logan be at the right place at the right time to capture the moment. Perfect Cadence Events provided all of the hardware that we needed. They had a headset microphone available for the officiant, and a microphone on a stand available for me and my wife while we exchanged vows, and also for the speeches later in the evening. They also set up fancy dancing lights on the dancefloor. They even brought a drone to capture some aerial footage of our venue! For our video package, we selected the 5-10 minute highlight edit and also requested a copy of the raw footage as an add-on. We were blown away by the final edit of our highlight video. We are so happy we chose Perfect Cadence Events. Thank you so much Logan and Duane!
