Timeless wedding films for modern romantics

Love in Progress (LIP) is an intimate wedding videography studio based in NYC. Since 2007, we’ve had the honor of filming hundreds of weddings across the big apple and beyond—from Manhattan to Montauk, Brooklyn to the Berkshires, Philly to the Jersey Shore, and everywhere in between.

While wedding trends may come and go—dresses, hairstyles, dance floor playlists—some moments remain timeless: the vows exchanged, the love shared with family and friends, the joy of a community coming together in celebration. At LIP, we’re dedicated to preserving those moments, crafting wedding films that are both timeless and deeply personal—your story, your movie.

It’s a film you’ll return to again and again: with your partner on an anniversary, with friends during a cozy get-together, with parents, grandparents, children—or even future generations—at a family reunion. Or simply on an ordinary day, as a reminder of the love you share and the promises you made.

Motoko Fukuyama is the heart behind the lens and the lead videographer at LIP.
Book her and her team today to document your wedding day beautifully and authentically.

 Kind Words

  • "It has been 2.5 years since my wedding and I am still so in love with my wedding video. The video captures the day like photography just could not and I am so thrilled we decided to budget it in and even more thrilled that we were lucky enough to find Motoko and her team to capture the day. Motoko was so professional, thoughtful, and attentive during our day without ever being intrusive that I still look back with warm fondness at how wonderfully she handled our project. The video itself was edited so well and really captures the essence and spirit of our special day. I dont know how Motoko is able to film a wedding and make it feel so personal and tailored to US. We are both SO thankful that I have this beautifully filmed and edited video that we will treasure for the rest of our lives!"

  • "We couldn't have found a better videographer for our wedding. I found Motoko randomly looking around online and knew I wanted her as soon as I saw examples of her creativity and artistic direction. She was very patient with us as we guided her with suggestions on how we wanted the video to come out. We had a traditional Indian wedding that took course over 3 days - it was important to us to have a video that felt Indian and also succinctly captured everything without missing important details. She had a tremendous eye for this. The other most valuable thing I think is she prides herself on being "invisible" at the events. This was huge for us as we were limited on space and really didn't want the crew taking over. She was never in the way, never needed anything - she just did her thing and we couldn't be more pleased. She's the best!"

    Sapna & Amish

  • "We hired Motoko and her team for both of our daughters' weddings and we highly recommend their services! From our first contact to receipt of the videos, they were professional, supportive, and creative. It is amazing how they captured all of the important (and quiet) moments of the day w/o ever being intrusive. The editing and final products are perfect. Thank you Motoko!"

  • "Best wedding video I’ve ever seen. It’s perfect and not cheesy!" "We're obsessed!!!! Thank you so much Motoko!!!"

    Bari & Mike

  • "Motoko is beyond talented and passionate about what she does. She is simply amazing and was a pleasure to work with. She was beyond kind on the day of the wedding and made my movie and highlight reel quickly and it is amazing. I literally watch my wedding video everyday because it is that amazing. Motoko is someone I would recommend without a doubt because not only is she professional but she's also a very sweet person. Thank you Love in Progress for making my wedding so special and capturing all my special moments!"

    Tanya & Alex

  • "We worked with Motoko from Love in Progress for our May '23 NYC wedding and had a wonderful experience doing so. She produced a beautiful, high quality video that captured the essence of our wedding (and really the entire day) perfectly. She did such a great job weaving together touching moments, a lively dance floor, and the NY backdrop in a way that truly encapsulated the day. Motoko was very easy to work with - she was highly responsive leading up to the event, and on the day she and her team were not intrusive at all. Somehow they managed to capture everything without us even realizing they were there. We especially appreciated what a great sport Motoko was when we were blessed with some pretty inclement weather. She was game to go around the city capturing city shots, which was very important to us. We are so grateful to Motoko and her team for capturing our day so perfectly and could not recommend her more highly. We keep watching the video over and over again!"

    Annabeth & Teddy

  • "I would 100% recommend Motoko and her team. They captured our day perfectly and worked so seamlessly with all of our other vendors. They were truly “flies on the wall” and captured every detail of the day without interfering. Our videos were so well done and are mementos of our wedding we will cherish forever."

    Julie & Jake

  • "Motoko was the videographer at our older daughter's wedding several years ago and she recently did the video at our younger daughter's wedding. Both times we were thrilled with the results. She was unobtrusive during the ceremony and reception, and captured everything perfectly. I would highly recommend her. A pleasure to work with. If I had a third daughter I would hire her again!"

    Debbie, the mother of the bride(s)

  • "This review is long overdue but Motoko at Love in Progress Video Productions deserves every ounce of praise I can possibly express. I liked her vibe as soon as we met after having looked through her website and reels to determine I loved her beautiful work. But after actually working with her and seeing the results, we truly couldn't be more pleased. She has an incredible eye and a special knack for editing together just the right moments with the right music so the result is powerful and emotional in all the right ways. She has an impeccable eye and sense of style. Our teaser reel, which we posted on Facebook and sent to friends and family, has gotten so much positive feedback, like people telling us they watched it over and over because it was brought them to tears and left them wanting more. I think when it's not your own video, it's pretty uncommon to watch someone else's video multiple times! But that goes to show Motoko's ability to draw you in and dazzle you. I simply can't recommend Love in Progress Video Productions highly enough for your special day!"

    Sara & Josh

  • "Motoko was one of my favorite wedding vendors to work with for our wedding in January 2020. My photographer recommended her and from our first email exchange, she was responsive and willing to go the extra mile. I barely knew that she was there filming as I was getting ready (which is what you want!) yet she captured the "behind the scenes" content perfectly! Our wedding got a bit off schedule, with some snow and other things taking longer than expected. Motoko didn't hesitate to stay, making sure to capture our wedding in its entirety! After our wedding, she sent us a one minute trailer within a week! You have no idea how exciting this was. She delivered our package in its entirety well before the agreed upon date. We are BEYOND thrilled with our videos (we basically watch them on repeat)! We are so grateful to have them to remember our day forever. I can not recommend Motoko and Love in Progress enough!!!!"
