Jessica and Jon’s Same Day Edit at One Atlantic
At Aubert Films, we love when clients write their own vows to each other because it reflects into the film the intense emotions felt by that couple on one of the most special days of their lives. We can’t stress enough how much a difference writing vows can make for your wedding film so when Jessica and Jon said their own vows to each other, we knew they needed to be incorporated into the same day edit.
Besides the vows, some other favorite parts of the same day edit are when Jessica is being handed off by her parents to Jon. Her eyes stay intently on her future husband as she walks towards him. Another is when she mouths the words “I love you” after Jon says his vows. There was a moment where their eyes remained fixed on each other, taking in the moment before they kissed for the first time as husband and wife.
Jon and Jessica’s wedding took place at One Atlantic in Atlantic City, New Jersey. Immediately, it was obvious that these two families were very close with one another and that love was felt throughout the evening. When the time came to show their Same Day Edit, it was definitely a rewarding experience. Jessica and Jon could not stop smiling and it was a great way to end the night.
It was also a pleasure working with photographers Rebecca and Charlie from Photography by Rebecca.
Jennie and Joe’s Love Story & Same Day Edit at Abington Art Center
What I love the most about being a wedding filmmaker is taking the unique characteristics of a couple and incorporating them into their film. Upon meeting Jennie and Joe, we noticed right away that they weren’t just in love, but they were best friends as well. During the entire shoot, they were both glowing and laughing, and it radiated to everybody else around them. It was noticeable that despite different backgrounds and cultures, Jennie and Joe complement each other perfectly and we wanted that to be reflected in the Love Story.
When editing the Love Story, it was so difficult to pick the best parts of the interview to add because everything was so good! But there was one particular line I knew I had to add to the film. At one point, Jennie says these amazing words, “Despite cultural differences, religious differences, our families come from different experiences, love is something that we all share together and he is so committed to love. I’m committed to that, too.” To me, that sentence sums up Jennie and Joe’s relationship. One of my favorite scenes in the Love Story is when Joe is dancing and Jennie is laughing hysterically even with her back turned. I find that I can’t help but smile every time I watch that scene.
Jennie and Joe’s wedding was held at the Abington Art Center in Philadelphia. In the Same Day Edit, some of my favorite scenes are when Joe meets Jennie halfway down the aisle and they walk together the rest of the way. The way they look into each others eyes really stands out to me in that you can truly feel the emotional connection between them. However, my favorite shot in the entire edit is when Jennie and Joe have just entered the reception and are standing in the middle of all the people who came to celebrate their wedding with them. Everyone is clapping and they both look so overwhelmed with happiness.
Getting to see the reaction of the couple was the most rewarding part of the day for Aubert Films. Tissues were being passed around, and Jennie’s constant teary smile was reassuring. There was so much love at this wedding and it radiated throughout the entire night.
It was great time working with:
Wedding Planner, Isis Petrie of Posh Events
Alan and Caterina’s SDE at The Palace at Somerset Park
One of the most rewarding experiences of being a wedding filmmaker is seeing the reaction of the couple and their loved ones as they watch their wedding film or a same day edit depicting the exact emotions they felt on their wedding day. It’s a contagious and enjoyable feeling that is brought up every time a film is watched for the first time by a client.
During the ceremony, the most emotional moment for me is when Caterina is walking down the aisle and we quickly see Alan wipe a tear away from his eye. Caterina looks amazingly beautiful and the bright light behind her when she walks in just emphasizes that. However, my favorite scene in the entire film is when a shot of the wedding guests clapping pans upwards towards Caterina and Alan walking down the steps for their first entrance as husband and wife. We then see the couple dancing to their first dance as a large group of family and friends huddle around them to watch. Caterina and Alan were surrounded by so much support and love from their families and we feel that this particular shot sums that up.
It was awesome working with photographer Danielle Hopkins.
Liz and Mike’s Same Day Edit at the Mellon Auditorium, Washington, D.C.
One of the best things about what we do here at Aubert Films is being able to hear back from clients about how much they loved their film. When we receive a letter, email, or Facebook message from someone who is ecstatic about their film, it’s so personally rewarding. For us, it’s the true profit for all the time and energy we put into a film. For this reason, I love doing Same Day Edits. Most of our films are delivered through the internet or in the mail so we don’t actually get to see our clients’ reaction first hand. But an SDE allows us to show a film to the couple and their guests all at once while we are watching too! When everyone erupts with laughter, cheers, and clapping, it’s so overwhelmingly rewarding for us.
That’s what it was like for us when we showed Liz and Mike’s Same Day Edit; who’s wedding took place in Washington, D.C. at the Mellon Auditorium (Click here for the Wikipedia page <– Yes you read that right!). My favorite comment that we got on film was “OH MY GOD! That happened like an hour ago!” Liz and Mike were such an amazing couple and it was a pleasure to film their wedding. Their families were fun and engaging too so our entire team felt at home with everyone. I knew for certain that Liz was as cool as a cucumber when she got stung by a bee before she hopped into her dress. No freak-out, no tears, Liz just shrugged it off and got some ice for her hand. Awesome.

Glen and Violet’s Same Day Edit
When Glen and Violet asked me to shoot their wedding in Southern New Jersey, I knew I had to put together the ultimate team to do it! I asked two fellow Top 25 wedding videographers to join me to make the video something really special. Maurice O”Carroll, Ireland’s #1 wedding videographer, and Chris Watson from Fort Worth, Texas flew in to help back me up for the day.
The wedding was great! Maurice and I started shooting bright and early at Energes Salon where Viloet and her bridal party were getting ready. Meanwhile, Chris Watson was covering the guys at Violet’s brother’s house. We all met at the church and shot one of the best ceremonies I’ve ever seen. Glen and Violet could barely hold back tears as they walked down the aisle the together for first time, married. Later the reception was help in the Crystal Manor at Masso’s where Judith Campbell of Cambell Studios did some amazing decor and lighting!
The highlight of the reception was when my Same Day Edit was shown on a huge 100″ screen during the reception for all to see. Glen and Violet were able to relive their entire day in just a few minutes while all of the guests watched in awe.
Below is the Same Day Edit I did for Glen and Violet. This is a great add-on that can be purchased at any time for your own wedding. Make sure to view the video in beautiful High Definition!
