About this vendor
We are Ellen & Edward Rashkovsky, owners of Starlight Studioz a Brooklyn, NY based wedding & event photography & cinematography company. We love what we do, capturing memories of couples in love. The wedding day is full of small & big details and we work hard to capture it all. From start to finish. We find that a lot of the really cool moments happen in between the days big events, ceremony, reception, first dance. We seek those moments out. Our couples are the reason we love what we do. We are honored to capture their wedding day stories and in some cases become good friends too! Many of our couples come back to us to capture more memories of their families so our relationships continue for years to come.

I have started and stopped writing this review on several different occasions. It is so hard to write a review when there are simply not enough words in the English voca...
bulary that will do justice to the incredible work Starlight Studioz - Photography + Cinematography have done for my wedding . My wedding was on March 29, 2015. From the very first meeting my husband and I felt as though our wedding was the most special event that will ever exist. We knew right away that Ellen, Eddie and their team would take care of us on the most magical day of our lives. The feeling did not stop the minute we signed the contract! As the months progressed leading up to our wedding day Ellen was there every step of the way helping us plan and prepare. After filming our love story (and us simply not liking how we look!), Ellen and Eddie graciously agreed to refilm and recreate a new love story. We also purchased a photo booth package for our wedding day that was a huge hit with all the guests!
In the months leading up to the wedding Ellen became not only my videographer but my friend and confidant. She was there to help make even the most detailed of decisions (I texted her the morning of the wedding asking her opinion on the groomsman pocket square color!). Such decisions were not part of her requirements but she took every question and decision seriously as though it was her own wedding day. Our relationship with Ellen and her staff did not end after the wedding day. Eddie, Ellen and Dima were patient with us in our very detailed requests pertaining to editing our wedding video. Now that we have the finished product we couldn’t be happier with the results. My husband and I recommend Starlight Studioz - Photography + Cinematography to everyone who asks for wedding recommendations – they truly will go above and beyond their job description. While my husband and I feel very lucky to have had such a wonderful team for our wedding day, we are even more grateful for the friendship we have created with the team. They are a wonderful group of people and we look forward to using them for all of our families’ important milestones. We anticipate Starlight Studioz - Photography + Cinematography being in business for decades to come and have already hinted that we plan on using them for photo and video when our daughter (now only 1 years old) has at bat mitzvah and a sweet 16! If we have any say in the matter they will do our daughter’s wedding video as well. We couldn’t imagine working with any other photo and video team ever again. Simply put: Starlight Studioz - Photography + Cinematography spoiled us in the best way and we are eternally grateful for all the love and hard work they put into their finished products. Thank you Ellen, Eddie and Dima from the bottom of our hearts.

tely perfect. I wanted vendors that I didn't have to worry about on day of. Ellen spent a considerable amount of time on the phone and in person discussing my vision and were always available by email or phone to discuss changes or ideas.

From the very beginning Ellen & Eddie made us feel at ease, appreciated as a new client, taken care of and they cared about our every need and want for our big day. We had a bad e...
xperience with a previous photographer, never & not part of their team, whom left us discouraged & disgruntled. Ellen & Eddie upon our first meeting were reassuring and on point ever since. Even a year later since our wedding our client vendor relationship still has remained as we have kept in contact. The service, photos, the videos and the talent behind the cameras are phenomenal!!!! Our friends and family whom interacted with the starlight studioz team had a great time and love our photos, album and video as much as we do! I've given out their business card to everyone I know! I highly recommend starlight studioz for every big occasion!

ave to spend too much time on planning and organising, as we have many other priorities in the larger wedding planning picture. Ellen and Eddie provided just that service. They were always quick to respond, listened to our style, and were there on the day without being intrusive at all. The end product was beyond anything we could have expected, and everyone was amazed at how good the two videos (highlights and full) were, and how much of the day's ambience the video captured. Professional, friendly, responsive, and top end quality! Thank you Ellen and Eddie!
Ellen & Eddie and the Starlight Studioz team are absokutely amazing. Our film turned out to be incredible. We had an incredible experience throughout the entire process leading u...

t beautiful. They did our engagement shoot, videography & photography. We also chose to do the same day edit, which our guests loved! It gave them a chance to see the what happened earlier in the day...sort of like behind the scenes. We receive sooo many compliments on our photos, wedding video and album. It took forever to choose our photos because they all were stunning!!! You can not go wrong with Starlight Studioz!!!
I truly believe that the photographer is one of the single most important components of a wedding. The venue can be beautiful, the food can be delicious, the music can set the rig...
ht mood - but if the photographer can't catch it all to help you (and everyone else) re-live the fabulous memories? Then it's (almost) all lost! With that said, the Starlight team completely captured the feeling of the entire evening! Every time we look at the photos, the wonderful memories of that day come flooding back to us and immediately make us smile and reminisce about what a great day & party we had. Highly recommend without a doubt.
The team was so attentive and nice! I barely noticed they were there throughout the wedding but yet I know they were videotaping all the important moments. I would highly recommend...

m going to have a hard time choosing the ones I want for my album there are so many I love. I was awed by the highlight clip definitely left me in anticipation of the rest of the video. They do an amazing job of capturing those that matter. Honestly, their talent is amazing. At the end of the day your video and pictures are the only memories you get to keep, so it's worth the investment to know that you are going to get exactly what you wanted. I highly recommend them!
Ellen & Eddie were one of our favorite vendors we had! personally I hate being the center of attention and I originally didn't want a video camera following me around all day! howe...
ver I thought I would regret it if we didnt hire someone....in walks ellen & eddie! they responded so fast to my emails...met with my fiancé and I one mile from our house (NO other vendors did this), and was such a hit at our wedding that I have given their info to more than 20 guests! Eddie captured every second without being in our face and basically being invisible. I don't know how they did it but my husband and I are so happy with the final product! If you are on the fence...HIRE STARLIGHT STUDIOZ. You won't regret it :)
