For couples who want to feel it all over again

A wedding is rarely one event. It is a Nikkah, the pheras, an Anand Karaj or a church aisle, then a holud, a sangeet, a reception, three generations in one room and a hundred small moments nobody planned. We learn your traditions before the day, so we know where to stand and which moments cannot be missed.

"You truly captured all the little moments and memories perfectly."

"Huge thank you to our amazing photographer for capturing our special day so beautifully! Every picture came out incredible and you truly captured all the little moments and memories perfectly. Couldn't recommend you enough. If you're looking for someone to capture your special day, definitely book him!"

"It honestly felt like they could read our minds!"

"Weddings can be one of the most hectic and overwhelming days, but Shah and the team made sure that photography and videography were the last things we had to worry about. From checking in to see if we needed water to making sure everyone felt comfortable, they went above and beyond to take care of us. It honestly felt like they could read our minds! Not only did they capture the most beautiful photos and videos, but they made the entire experience feel effortless and stress free. They were also incredibly attentive when it came to identifying our close family members and making sure all the important moments and family photos were captured. We couldn't have asked for a better team!"

We film the light in the vows and keep it for the people who come after you

Photography and film come from one team, so your day is covered once, properly, without two crews competing for the same angle.

Culture and tradition are the story, not the backdrop. The experience
About Lucent Films

We don't just document your day. We protect it.

Lucent Films was founded in 2025, but the team behind it has spent more than seven years behind the lens at some of the most memorable weddings across NYC and beyond, capturing the moments that never repeat themselves. Our photography and film is elegant, timeless and unmistakably cinematic, with no trends you will cringe at in ten years.

Pricing matters, and any studio you choose is a real investment. Weddings are unpredictable, and experience is what keeps every moment from being missed.

The real question isn’t “who’s the cheapest.” It’s “who do I trust to handle it when things don’t go as planned?”

The Founder Behind the Studio

Hi, I'm Shah

I was born and raised in New York City, with family roots in Bangladesh. I grew up at big, multi-day family weddings before I ever filmed one. Today Lucent Films works with couples of every faith and background, in New York and wherever your wedding takes you.

The story behind Lucent

It started with a camera and a mentor

My journey into filmmaking began with a love of creating and a curiosity for moments that tell a story. Growing up in New York, I always knew I wanted to build something of my own. I never imagined a camera would lead me somewhere this meaningful.

I was fortunate enough to begin my journey under the wing of my cousin, who became my mentor and taught me everything I know about wedding filmmaking. From the technical side of the camera to the art of storytelling, he took the time to guide me, share his knowledge, and help me grow. He taught me that being a filmmaker is about so much more than creating beautiful visuals. It’s about understanding people, recognizing emotions, and preserving moments that can never be recreated. I’ll forever be grateful for his patience, guidance, and the opportunities he gave me. Without him, I wouldn’t be the filmmaker I am today.

What I live for

The little moments

Chapter one

Finding my style

Over time I found my own style and fell in love with the little moments: the nervous smiles before a ceremony, the tears from loved ones, the laughter between two people. The moments that go unnoticed on the day but mean everything when you look back.

Chapter two

Lucent is born

That passion grew into something bigger, and Lucent Films was born: a brand built on my vision of wedding storytelling. Not just beautiful photographs and cinematic films, but a way to feel the day again.

Chapter three

Built on trust

What I love most is the trust couples place in me and my team. Being invited into one of the most meaningful days of someone's life is a privilege I never take lightly. At heart, I'm still the same person who fell in love with storytelling through a camera, just with a bigger vision and an even greater appreciation for the people and moments that make this journey worthwhile.

I wanted to create something timeless, intentional and deeply personal. Memories that let people relive how they felt, decades later.
Seven years behind the lens

From passion to Lucent

Est 2025
2025

Lucent Films opened its doors in 2025, but the story started long before that. My team and I have spent more than seven years behind the lens at some of the most memorable weddings across NYC and beyond, capturing the kind of moments that don't repeat themselves. Lucent is what that experience became. We specialize in luxury photography and videography, built around a style that's elegant, timeless and unmistakably cinematic. No trends we'll cringe at in ten years, just work that ages the way your love story should.

With Lucent Films, you get photographers and cinematographers who know your traditions, respect the room, and can provide a female photographer when you ask for one.

Investment savvy? Good.

Here's what actually deserves consideration

We understand. Pricing matters, and a discerning client weighs every detail. Yet consider this: regardless of who you select, this is a significant investment either way. What truly distinguishes one studio from another isn't the figure on the quote. It's the caliber of the team entrusted to capture your day.

The real question isn't "who's the cheapest." It's "who do I trust to handle it when things don't go as planned?"

That's what our years in this industry have taught us. Weddings are unpredictable. Lighting changes, timelines shift, emotions run high, and when they do, you want a team that's seen it before and knows exactly how to adapt without missing the shot. That's the difference experience buys you.

At Lucent Films, we don't just document your day. We protect it. Every frame, every edit, every deliverable is treated with the same level of care we'd want for our own families. Luxury isn't just in the final product. It's in how we show up for you, from the first consultation to the last delivered file.
