Do you want a video that really stands out amongst the rest? Eunoia Visuals is a videography company based in Saratoga Springs specializing in stunning, longer form wedding videos for over a decade. Shane is an award-winning filmmaker, a multifaceted creator, and the lead videographer and editor at Eunoia Visuals.
If you're looking for something that isn’t the typical short form music video style wedding video, Eunoia Visuals really stands out amongst the rest in the area. We are more focused on capturing all of your precious moments authentically, while crafting them into an artistic film that will have a timeless quality instead of following the trendy wedding video style that may not age well in the future.
We specialize in long form films so we can include much more of your wedding day, instead of cutting it all the way down to a video that is only several minutes long which strips so many memories from the final product. We feel that the longer video length will make for a much better time capsule and a more effective way to relive the day as you watch your video over the years. What type of video are your future selves going to want to watch together, or possibly watch with your kids, grand kids, or future family members? A short highlight video? Or a long wedding film encapsulating much more of your day? We also just feel that a video between 13-30 minutes flat out makes for a better film and product than a 5-8 minute highlight video.
Furthermore, we not only want to capture the moments of your wedding day itself, but tell your story beyond just one day. That is why we offer a Love Story interview with every package we offer for no extra cost. The Love story interviews are filmed on a separate day and we will ask you questions about your story as a couple, (how you met, your first date, the proposal story, why you love each other etc.) We will then weave the filmed interview into the main wedding video itself, like a documentary to give you the most personalized wedding video possible. However, these interviews are completely optional and we can deliver you a beautiful, touching video in many different cinematic styles to match any preference without interviews needed. Whether you want linear or non-linear storytelling, cinematic, documentary, or a mash of all of them at once, We have you covered!
After the wedding is captured, we will work hard to edit your film to perfection. We then immediately make it available for you to watch via YouTube link, as well as getting the master 4k file, and all of the 4k raw files that we capture will be put on an external hard drive and mailed to you directly. So any footage that is captured by us that doesn't make the final cut of the film, you will still be able to see it all. As far as we are concerned, those are YOUR memories so you should get all of it. So if you want a truly unbeatable value and a film that actually stands out, and stands the test of time, look no further than Eunoia Visuals!

First off, I never knew Shane before we hired him the first time, so I am not a family friend praising him! Over the years, Shane has been the videographer for my bridal shower, wedding weekend, my sister’s baby shower, my gender reveal party, storyteller for my daughter's keepsake, and has done professional projects for me. Each video was crafted to showcase the highlights in a manner that told a story and showcased the emotion of each event.
In the case of my bridal shower, that was the beauty of friendship, the color of happiness (bright colors were showcased), and of course, my theme was "mermaid bride", and he captured the essence of my personality and the fun nature of the party! The rehearsal dinner was something people often think, “why have a videographer for that?” but what people forget to realize is that it’s the last day before your new beginning in creating a new immediate family! Shane captured the excited nerves of my father, the giddiness of me, the bride, and my groom, and even some hilarious moments of our wedding party getting cut off on the dinner cruise 😂absolute priceless moments! Overall, the beauty of everyone coming together is what makes weddings so important, and he captured it all on film! My sister’s baby shower video music gets me every time with a GIANT smile. The way he documented the baby shower features an event that was more than just opening up baby gifts....yawn! It told the story of my family and how crazy we are and how we welcomed the baby to the “jungle”! Then of course the wedding, which he intertwined with a laid back interview of myfor viewers to understand who we are as individuals, as a couple, husband and me and how we see the world together. I can’t wait to watch back our wedding videos on our anniversary and remember the blushing, laughing, crying and being bluntly honesty of our feelings. Shane, as a professional is talent beyond our wild expectations. As a person, his kindness and patience was widely appreciated by my entire family. He was easy to communicate with and didn’t take you to the bank for his one-of-a-kind work! We have chosen him over and over again,as should you! A wedding video shouldn’t be a cookie cutter film like the rest, this is your wedding day....let Shane tell your story! Shane and team: Thank you a million times over!!!!!

Wow! So impressed with our video! We didn’t know what to expect but were blown away by what Shane created for us. I’ve seen other wedding videos before but this was on a different level. It felt more like we were watching a movie of our relationship and special day. At first I wasn’t sure if we wanted a longer video but am so happy we decided to. The attention to detail did not get lost throughout the whole video and loved that our entire vows were able to be included in it. I know this is something we will watch years to come. 10/10 would recommend hiring Shane! We looked around a while before choosing a videographer but wish we found him right away. If trying to decide if should book, just do it you won’t regret it!
Any questions?

I found Shane some years ago, watching some of his other wedding videos and naturally crying because they were done so beautifully. I knew on my wedding day I wanted Shane to capture it! My husband and I had our "wed-aversary" in April. We originally hired Shane a few years ago (pre-covid) for our original date. Then covid happened and my husband and I ended up doing a small family wedding. Shane was amazing and came out to our outdoor ceremony and filmed our actual ceremony. Two years later we were able to have the big party and Shane was again amazing to reconnect and work with! He was responsive to emails and texts and easy going all around. My husband (and I) were a little nervous going into our couples interviews but after them my husband commented on how comfortable he was after meeting Shane and how much he liked him! Its different sitting infront of a camera talking about your significant other to someone else, but Shane makes it feel like you're talking to an old friend! Day of Shane was professional, and his comfort and knowledge behind the camera showed. This made us more at ease as well, reminding us of why we chose to work with him! We are so excited to see our wedding video when the time comes but already feel so confident in his work!
Thank you 100 times again Shane!

I don’t know how to start this review, other than to say that Shane goes beyond what I thought was possible with wedding videos. I knew I wanted a wedding video instead of a photographer and Shane delivered beyond my wildest beliefs. Take a look at his wedding teaser videos on his website. You’ll find that he has interviews with the bride and groom interwoven into the video of their special day. Shane arrived at our wedding in the morning and shot until late into the evening. He managed to capture all that my husband and I mean to each and surrounded us within the day of our wedding. He is my favorite vendor of all those we used. Please choose Shane, you won’t be disappointed!

I cannot recommend Shane and Eunoia Visuals enough! They did an absolutely fantastic job on our wedding video and we get so many compliments on how beautifully it was put together, and how uniquely the interviews are intertwined throughout. This is truly something that sets Shane's work apart from others. I knew that I wanted a videographer for my wedding in New Jersey. Being from Saratoga Springs, I had seen Shane's work through friends of friends and I loved everything that I saw. Searching high and low in the New Jersey and New York City areas, I couldn't find the type of work that I had seen from Shane. I asked if he would be willing to travel down from Saratoga to film our wedding and, without hesitation, he was! And I couldn't be more thankful. Shane made a special trip down to New Jersey to film our interviews and then returned for our wedding day. My husband was particularly nervous about our interviews, but Shane made us both feel super comfortable--like talking to an old friend. On the day of the wedding, he captured everything we wanted (and more)! He was extremely professional, but also laid back, which was just great for the overall vibe. Shane's work truly speaks for itself, and I would highly recommend Eunoia Visuals for anyone who wants their day captured in the most beautiful way! I look forward to watching our video for many many years to come!

From my initial phone call with Shane I knew he was going to be the best choice. I loved the style of wedding video he produced and he was super personable to talk to so it was an easy decision. We did the interviews in our video and let me say this is hands down the most unique feature to have in your wedding video. I highly recommend doing it! Our finished video has been described as a mini docuseries on our life, a made for TV movie, etc. The way Shane connected how we answered our interview questions to things that were displayed/ said at our wedding was amazing. He got all the best shots and really made me feel like I was reliving the night when I watched. Everyone who has watched our video says they laughed, they cried, they really could feel the love through the video. Best investment in your wedding! I 100000% recommended Shane for your wedding.
