Hi! My name is Ilya and I’m the main filmmaker at Story Manor Films. I’m based out of central Pennsylvania, serving the Lancaster, PA and Newport, RI areas. I bought my first camera in 2014 and have been hooked on film-making ever since.
I have been shooting weddings for over 10 years and have started up my own company in 2020. Each couple has a unique story and my favorite part is capturing all the natural emotions and details that tell your story. My goal is for you to re-live your wedding day every time you watch your film.

. I cannot stop watching this video. It is absolutely stunning, brought us to tears, and so beautifully captured our day. The picture, music & all of the audio were impeccably pieced together to create the wedding video of my dreams. Ilya, thank you for being a part of our day & giving us something so special to remember it by!

Ilya documented our wedding day yesterday and I just could not wait to write a review about how much of an amazing job he did on our wedding day! He was so professional and worked ...
so well with our photographer on the day of. He seriously went above and beyond. He even gave me his jacket while we were outside taking photos because he could tell how cold I was. We seriously could not have made a better decision on who we picked for our wedding day. Thank you so much Ilya and we cannot wait to see what our film will look like. We have no doubt it will be amazing.

Hiring Story Manor Films for my wedding was the easiest decision I made, besides marrying my husband! Ilya was very personable and reliable. He's the type of person who would give ...
you the shirt off his back...he actually gave his personal chapstick to my husband after our first look so his lips didn't look all dry in the photos and video. It really warmed my heart that he cared so much about us. If you're second guessing getting a videographer for your wedding, stop right now and just do it! I promise you you won't regret it. Ilya is so talented the way he captures the day and tells your story. Personally, I LOVE that he incorporates a lot of audio instead of just throwing meaningless music over the top. The way he incorporated audio made everything come together! I would 10/10 recommend him and am excited to work with him again!

aw described it as "the best thing I've ever watched." Somehow he was everywhere at once, capturing all different angles of the ceremony and during photos before the ceremony. I was amazed that he captured so many different parts of the day and we honestly never noticed him! As far as the video goes, it was edited perfectly and audio from the ceremony was very crisp. We can't recommend Ilya from Story Manor Films enough for your wedding day!!!
