INVESTMENT
At 18, I enlisted in the U.S. Navy in search of adventure. And I got it. Immediately, the Navy had me jumping out of helicopters and plunging into icy cold waters to save lives as a rescue swimmer. After returning from my second nine-month deployment, I had no photos to show for all those transformative moments and breathtaking views of Bahrain, U.A.E., and Italy from inside the helicopter cabin.
So, I decided to buy my first camera to start documenting life as I saw it, with all the people, details, and adventures I found along the way. Photography soon became my creative outlet, especially when I got out of the Navy and needed it most. I fell in love with the entire process from getting to know the couples to editing the images.
Now, at Murphy Studios, I film weddings and photograph everything, including engagements, anniversaries, military homecomings, families, professional headshots and events. My aim is to capture a moment or spontaneous conversation in order to tell your story for years to come.
I’m that dad, yep, the one following around their child with a giant camera. Seriously, I’m recording whether my son is taking his first steps or just laughing at the silly faces my wife and I make at him over breakfast. We spend our weekends taking it easy on Long Beach Island. Life with the two of them is always something new, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
the big bold moments in a couple’s life all across the northeast US.
I'm Alan and I document
"From our very first phone call, Alan was extremely helpful and informative. Him and his assistant were awesome and made our wedding day even more perfect. I would highly recommend Murphy Studio to anyone looking for a wedding videographer....his work is the absolute best!"

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
Let's be honest, there are so many beautiful, incredible videographers out there. Many of them are people I've been privileged to call freinds.
I'm not going to tell you I'm better than they are - The truth is art is a personal thing that touches everyone differently. We all have our own unique style and creative vision that we uniquely bring to this world.
Here's what we're all about: Getting to know you as friends not just client as friends, because when the wedding day comes we get to CELEBRATE WITH YOU! We are adventurers, fearless, and love working with couples who share this adventurous spirit and desire to create something breathtaking that will last a lifetime. Your wedding is YOUR story. It's beautiful, it's messy, it's totally unique. We're wild about capturing every part of it.
We are a photojournalistic wedding videographer that films your wedding day like a friendly fly on the wall, thoughtful and unseen. From the tremble in your voice as you read your vows to one another, to the chorus of laughter and tears from the father of the bride speech, to your first dance together to "your song" - I'll be filming.
Our Style
what makes us unique
"My husband and I hired Murphy Studio as the videographer for our wedding and we couldn't be happier with our decision. Alan and his assistant were professional, friendly, and did a great job capturing our day."

"Wonderful videographer and awesome guy! Product is beautiful and Alan is a true professional. We love him and his work! Would recommend any day."

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
Fantastic! To reserve your wedding date, we’ll need a completed contract and a 35% non-refundable deposit. If you don’t have a contract yet, just let us know and we’ll send one over! The remaining balance will be due 2 weeks before the wedding.
We ask that you trust us to choose the music for your film. We will pick music that we feel best captures your individuality and the emotion behind your day. Some songs lend themselves better to a film setting than others - if you listen to the film score of your favorite movie, chances are its much different than what you'd hear on the radio.
Yes, we ask that meals be provided at the wedding reception as part of our contract. By the time the reception arrives we've been working non-stop for up to 10 hours without a break or a chance to grab a snack, so we need a chance to recoup so we're ready to film the rest of your evening.
We have been filming weddings since 2015, and have had the privilege to film for over 100 couples. However our recommendations when choosing any professional is to to choose based on the quality of their work, rather than the amount of time they've been in business! If our work speaks to you and our style fits yours, that is the most important thing.
You want your film to last - and you want it in the best possible quality! With everything moving online and onto the cloud, DVD's are now going the route of VHS. In knowing this trend is coming, we now provide all our clients with online galleries + digital downloads so that viewing and sharing is instant and easy!
Yes we offer Same Day Edits! Same Day Edits are a great way to have something instantly to show at your wedding while you wait for your Highlight Film. Because they require a lot of pre-production work and extra gear, we have to charge for this service. Same Day Edits are available for an additional $3,500.
"Alan did both my surprise engagement shoot down in Hoboken, as well as my not-so-surprise engagement photos in my hometown high school. He made us so comfortable during the shoot and I would highly recommend him."
