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:

Geoff and Noel’s Wish Upon a Wedding Love Story
At Aubert Films, we believe in making films that emote powerful emotions. We want our clients to watch their film and be able to re-experience the same feelings they had on their wedding day. When the Philadelphia Chapter of Wish Upon a Wedding asked us to film the love story of their first couple, we wanted to make a film that told the entire emotional story of these two people who are very much in love.
In case you don’t know, Wish Upon a Wedding is a national charity organization that grants weddings to couples where the bride or the groom is stricken with a terminal illness. They do this through the donations of volunteer companies, like Aubert Films. You can check out past weddings and love stories by clicking here.
Going into the shoot, we really didn’t have much information about the couple or their story so it was difficult not knowing what to expect. But when we finally met Geoff and Noel, I knew they were the perfect couple. The love they have for each other, even in the face of such difficult times, is so deeply touching. The entire shoot, it radiated out from both of them like a soft glow that touched everyone involved in the shoot. You could literally feel it in the air as it ebbed and flowed throughout the shoot.
I wanted that radiance of love to be replicated in the film. I wanted Geoff and Noel and anyone watching it to experience that love the same way we experienced it on the shoot. When I was editing this film my assistant was behind me, watching it as I worked. At one point I turned around and saw her tearing up. “They’re just so perfect,” she whispered as she wiped away a tear. I hope you feel the same way when you watch this special love story for two amazing people, Geoff and Noel.
P.S. – It was great working with photographer Cindy Guessford as she did one of her Beloved session with Geoff and Noel. She is an amazing individual and an equally amazing photographer. Check out her shots from Geoff and Noel’s session by clicking here.
Special thanks goes out to Mark Kingsdorf and Rebecca Richman of Queen of Hearts Consulting for their involvement. Pat Ambrosius of The Pragmatic Planner as well! Thanks so much to all of you!
Gia and Mark’s Philadelphia Wedding Video Trailer at the Sofitel Hotel
Gia and Mark were referred to us by super photographers Darah and Siobhan from DollFace Studio. Gia and Mark were perfect clients because they literally told us to do whatever we wanted. On the customization form that we ask all of our clients to fill out, it simply reads:
“You are the experts! Please feel free to do what you like and know looks best!”
As artists and filmmakers, this is the absolute best! No restrictions, only a desire to have a great looking film.

Mariah and Douglas’s Wedding Trailer
One of my most anticipated weddings of the year took place this past weekend in Chestertown, MD. Mariah and Doug hired me to film their wedding almost a year ago and I could hardly wait until their date arrived! Their wedding took place at the very cool Stepne Manor which used to be owned by Doug’s family. I had the pleasure of working with photographer extraordinaire, Mark Gardner and his very cute assistant Issy Schmid (Issy was actually one of the brides in my first Trash the Dress video). It’s always a blast working with Mark. He’s already posted a few pics from the wedding over on his blog so be sure to check them out! Anyways, I’ve been working on Mariah and Doug’s trailer for the last few days. I really feel this is one of the best shot weddings I’ve had in years. Everything was perfect. The weather, the sunlight, the decor, the people. A “perfect storm” of weddings if you will. Check out the trailer below and if you want to be really impressed, watch it in HD
