IT’S ALL ABOUT THE STORY.

Wedding films are a cinematic and auditory keepsake of the emotions felt on a wedding day.

Each couple has their own unique style, and it’s reflected in each film that is crafted for them.

“WOW. Juliette embodied our wedding day so well.

My husband and I were sobbing after the first, second, and third watch because we had picked up on new details she had in the film each time and it just brought the day back to life for us.

She really knows how to capture love so well, and brings her own talent and eye and it makes it all the more special. Even her pre-wedding questionnaire and emails made us feel so taken care of and understood leading up to the day. She is extremely professional, and has a beautiful, kind soul. Truly, you will be so grateful you booked Juliette!!”

Chelsea and Anthony

chelsea and anthony was one for the books.

a love story that started when they were elementary school, my favorite parts of their day are below —

• seeing Anthony get emotional while seeing chelsea in her wedding dress walking down the asile

• how similar their vows were

• inserting camcorder footage we got from their engagement session into their final film

• staying an extra 10 minutes to record chelsea dancing to chappell roan

Seeing these people who start out as strangers to me become husband and wife, and the celebration of that feat is one of my favorite parts of being a wedding photographer and videographer. This big moment that means so much to families (and doggies).

It’s an honor to be apart of a wedding day, and was even more of an honor to be apart of chelsea and anthony’s day.

Trailer is below. Final film is above :)

Lexi and Keagan

“I’ll just sob into my keyboard as I edit Lexi and Keagan’s wedding film”

The amount of times my husband came home to find my teary eyed while editing (and rewatching) Lexi and Keagan’s wedding film was too many times to count.

A truly stylish and fun day, that honored those who passed and celebrated an adorable couple who’ve known each other since kindergarten.

Let’s review some of the best moments, shall we?

• Lexi shooting custom wedding t-shirts out of a catapult

• Let’s hear it for a second dress change from her mom’s wedding dress that she wore on the EXACT day Lexi and Keagan got married (aka they share a wedding anniversary date :)

• Their home video that makes me so happy to watch

• Their reaction after they were recessing from the aisle (wholesome alert)

• their reaction to reading their letters (wholesome alert 2.0)

  What a perfect, perfect day.

Brittany and Gabby

I have never done a New Years Eve wedding, but by golly am I glad that Britt and Gabby’s reached out to me, because talk about a FUN NIGHT.

One of the concerts that Britt and Gab told me, was that they didn’t think they were photogenic at all. “Oh no, I don’t believe it. Being in front of the camera is an awkward process-” “No. Juliette. We’re like, so awkward.”

I still don’t believe it.

Their film is one of my favorites.

• They started off their ceremony with my favorite line in cinema history, Billy Crystal’s speech to Meg Ryan in When Harry Met Sally.

• When these two are together, sparks are a’flyin (and it’s not just the cold sparklers, but can we talk about that entrance??)

• They picked black and white gowns, and honestly it looks so good because a) they are stunning and b) the designs of the gowns were unique to them!

I love when I run into them around town :)

Leah and Thomas

Leah and Tom found me through the marvelous Emma Bauso Photography, and oh boy, I’m so glad they did. Not only did I get to work with my favorite photographer, but I got to meet the kindest and funniest couple ever.

Up to the wedding day, Leah and I shared a mutual interest in hilarious memes she would post on her IG and I would usually reply to the engagement photos of her and Tom with a lot of crying emojis (which isn’t uncommon for me).

Once editing started, I knew I wanted to have a song that was more folky and fun. I found “Who We Share It With” was absolutely perfect - this couple had a solid friend group for years, I had bonded with Leah over countless millennial Reels on IG, and every single person was so excited to be there and celebrate.

ALSO. Tom totally surprised Leah with a fireworks display at the end of the night. Every SINGLE time I watch that clip, I start crying because it’s such a wholesome and special moment between the two of them.

This is the type of film that once you’re finished, you just think “I’m so lucky to know people like this.” Because life is about who you share it with, after all. :)

ELena and Jarred

Elena and Jarred reached out to me about a year before their wedding day, and after the first call I pretty much knew they were going to be the coolest couple to work with, and I was totally right.

Here’s a list of reasons why this wedding was awesome:

1. It was my first out-of-state wedding ever!

2. I was going to be focusing on photography, while my husband focused on videography.

3. I was so excited to have full creative control and the fact that Elena and Jarred trusted me so much was really humbling.

4. We stayed about 5 minutes from the ocean at Asbury Park boardwalk, and we were able to get a lot of really lovely footage and photos for their gallery.

5. Everyone at the wedding was so kind and excited. I immediately felt how loved the couple was with every event.

6. Elena decided to chop her hair during the reception (wait to see the photos omg)

7. The dance parties were INSANE. Talk about a pumped up dance floor.

Gabriella & Raphael

GET YOUR PLATFORM BOOTS AND SEQUIN JUMPSUIT ON BECAUSE WE’RE GOING TO THE 70s!

Favorite parts of the day:

• THE STYLE. My goodness, the looks from this 70s disco theme were incredible. Bright colors! Hot pink!

• The couple! I mean these cuties were the kindest people, and were so present on their wedding day.

• Using an old 90s camcorder to document the day. Check out the home video below, because it’s one the greatest things ever.

• THE SPEECHES! Everyone had such wonderful speeches, and the interaction with the crowd was one of my favorite parts.

  Now what the heck are you waiting for - see how wonderful these two are!!

Morgan & trent

Morgan and Trent went into their wedding day so excited to get married, and that is the kind of energy I love to document. They had mentioned to me that they felt they were both awkward in front of the camera (spoiler alert, they aren’t at all), and they wanted things to be more candid and natural. They had also mentioned in their questionnaire that they wanted to cry and laugh during their film, see their kiddos, and feel all the feels. These are all of my favorite things.

Favorite parts of their wedding film

• the opening. I love hearing Trent talk about his favorite things about Morgan.

• Seeing actual moments from the wedding day with sound at the beginning of the film!

• Their vows - when Trent says “who would have thought that one simple swipe would lead to this” and the clips after that…sobbing. Or when Trent says “Thank you for marrying me” and Morgan quietly replies “You’re welcome”

• The music! I love Sammy Rae, who is the musician during their vows, and I’m so happy I finally got to use one of her songs, because it’s perfect - it’s soft and mellow, and makes you feel cozy.

• Trent surprised Morgan with a solo dance with her sons….You will need tissues.

Nicole & Sean

Let’s talk about Nicole and Sean, because they are so cute and their vows will make you cry.

I remember in Nicole’s inquiry form she had said “I know the day will fly by so I want everything possible to be able to remember everything.” We decided that a 5-7 minute film would show everything from the day.

Favorite parts of their film:

• Nicole’s face right before their first look - she is SO HAPPY. It makes me smile every time.

• Their vows - those were the foundation to their film. They are so personal and loving, like a warm hug :)

• The wedding party singing “I Like Big Butts” as Sean and Nicole dance.

• The music in their film - I really wanted something that felt like coming inside a warm house on a rainy day. I’ve had this song in my favorites for a long time, and decided that this was the perfect couple to have it. Their dancing song had to be something that reflected how absolutely fun and energetic their reception was, and every time I hear it I want to dance!

Now it’s time to watch this perfect little film!!

alexis & jake

I think one of my favorite things ever, is filming or photographing the weddings of friends. Because I had SO much fun at this wedding, it’s honestly inspired how I plan my own! (Also working with Kate Elaine Photography because she’s my favorite)

This film is filled with sweet and sarcastic vows, a choreographed dance (so good), Alexis looking like a GODDESS, a lot of ABBA dancing, and a whole lotta love between the couple and their guests.

Brooke & Josh

what a perfect spring wedding.

some of my favorite parts of the day:

- while getting ready, Brooke told her mom and I about how she and josh had met earlier that day to read longer vows than they would say at the ceremony to get all the tears, “which clearly didn’t work because I’m still crying!” she had said.

- THE DETAILS. The blue and white toile and neutral bridesmaid dresses, small yellow flowers snapdragons in the bouquets, the name cards that Brooke had handwritten and crafted. Everything had a purpose and a detail.

- there was a brief silence once Brooke and her dad had gotten to the alter, and you only heard the wind through the trees, birds singing, and the sniffs from teary eyed family and friends. It gave guests a second to breathe, and josh and brooke a moment to take in everything that was about to happen.

- the venue, The Kester Homestead has a secret garden/enchanted barn vibe that makes me want to listed to folklore by taylor swift and take photos in pretty dresses in the middle of a field (not uncommon, my friends and I did that a lot in high school). The space among the trees and in the barn feels inviting and warm, and the house has so many nooks and crannies, your creativity can run wild.

these are just a couple of little moments from the day I remember best, and some of them you’ll be able to visit in the film. I feel so honored to be a small part in documenting brooke and josh’s day. 💛

MIKE & MORIAH

(aka the M&Ms)

mike and moriah are one of the most kind, hilarious, amazing couples I’ve gotten to work with.

I remember when the M&Ms reached out to me, they gave me such a detailed inquiry form, which I always LOVE reading. Moriah had mentioned that they were both very awkward in front of the camera (they aren’t, their adorable), and that they initially didn’t want to have a wedding because they didn’t want to be the center of attention.

I think what makes this couple so extremely special, is that they had me for photo and video, and I was able to their engagement photos at my favorite place in the world - Wildflower Creek Farm. We had a few different calls to go over the schedule, and the most important element of the day, was that they wanted to focus on being present and enjoy every part of their day.

Their wedding day was SO MUCH FUN. if you watch their film below, there are so many little moments of Mike and Moriah sneaking glances, being cute, and just enjoying their wedding day.

When it came to editing their film, they didn’t want anything too sentimental or crazy — Moriah wrote this to me -

“I think you know Mike and I more than we know ourselves, because our video is absolutely perfect. The video is so funny, goofy, but also romantic, and just perfectly us. Every time I watch it, the time flies by so quickly… We kept going back and forth on whether we wanted our vows in it - but I cannot imagine it any other way, especially since the ceremony was our favorite part of the day. And the music - perfection, how everything matches up with it and the songs you ultimately chose. They sound perfect and are exactly the type of music we love together, and those lyrics "Making Our Own Way" pretty much encapsulates us. We also love the documentary part with the lock, it's too funny, and having you in the video like that asking questions/commentary is awesome.

I think one part that reallllly got me was the part with Mike looking at me and then the camera moves to me looking at Mike, that moment is so special, I melt every time. The whole film, all the films, the vibe and everything - PERFECTION.”

I definitely had to think outside the box for the M&Ms film, but it was SO MUCH FUN. One of the reasons I love wedding videography is because every couple has a different aesthetic, and editing the film is like a big puzzle.

Mike and Moriah started my 2023 videography season off in a perfect way. Being apart of their day was so meaningful, and I think they’re just the best. :) Now watch their films!!

MARIsSA & TREVOR

When I first met with Marissa and Trevor, I could tell how excited they were to just be married.

On their wedding day, they were up for walking around the beautiful property and scenery of Wagner Winery and had so much FUN with all the prompts Kristy (photographer), Teddy (assistant videographer), Bronson (assistant photographer) and I (videographer) threw out at them.

Their film was at the beginning of my 2022 season, and is one of my favorite films EVER. Now stop reading and watch it already!!

CHLOE & SCOTT

Usually when I’m editing wedding vows or the ceremony, I shed a few tears for the first couple passes and then I’m good. But when their officient says “may your souls dance together as one” and the violin swells after Chloe expresses how much she loves Scott - AHHH. That is CINEMA, my friends.

Chloe and Scott found me through a vendor list back in at the end of 2020, and even in their email they were so excited to get married. On their wedding day, they were so present, and really made it a point to enjoy everything with the people they invited, the friends in their wedding party and notice all the little details (like the ribbon on Chloe’s flowers and Scott’s boutonnière was the same material that pointe shoe’s are made of, and Chloe is a professional dancer. She noticed it as she was getting ready and was so happy!)

In conclusion, this wedding is one of my favorites ever.

Below, you can watch their full film, their teaser, their trailer and their REACTION VIDEO (they only watched the first 20 seconds of the film in the video bc it was buffering however it’s one of the cutest things ever)

kate & ryan

When you have a visually stunning wedding, mixed with an adorable couple, a bride with a vision, and incredible vendors, you get a film that is simply stunning and will make you cry uncontrollably.

It took me awhile to find the right music for Kate and Ryan’s wedding film - I spent around 2-3 hours trying a bunch of different songs, instruments, and genres, experimenting with song after song, but the romantic nature of the footage wasn’t translating into film that they wanted, or it didn’t flow with their vows…Until I found the one in their film. Let me tell you, it took me about 2 hours to edit it together from there - everything came together so perfectly.

Over my career as a wedding videographer, I have made many romantic wedding films…but there’s something about this one that just gets ya right in the feels. So grab that box of tissues and meet the adorable couple of Kate and Ryan!!

Shelby & zack

If you look at one of my other videos, you’ll spot Shelby in the bridal party of Chelsea and Peter’s video - which is exactly how I met these two cuties. I had been looking forward to Shelby and Zack’s wedding since they had contacted me; not only was their aesthetic for the wedding day classy and elegant, but they are also the nicest humans ever.

Shelby sent this message over to me once I sent their film:

“OMG!! We are crying tears of joy and will be watching this video over and over again until the end of time. We appreciate all of your hard work and creativity.. you are literally amazing, and so talented! We love how you captured all of the feelings from the day.. happy.. tears of joy... dancing... humor- it is all SOO good!! We cannot wait to have this forever to look back on all of the details of the day.”

I can’t. What an incredible couple😭

Sherri & Jim

The only way I can describe Sherri and Jim’s wedding is an absolute blast attack with the most incredibly high energy wedding party, hilarious couple and a vendor team that was just as excited that they were getting married as they were.

Before their wedding day, I got to meet Sherri and Jim at a styled shoot and photograph a mock wedding with them. I loved how much fun the two had together and how much fun I had with them.

Fast forward a few months later, they had mentioned that they wanted a 1950s vibe to their film and I just about flipped a table I was so excited.

Fast forward again to a month later, I’m at their wedding: The level of energy the wedding party maintained through the entire day was something of magic, Sherri and Jim had so much fun the entire day, Sherri might have almost passed out during the ceremony because of the heat, and Jaynie, Allie and Sara were the greatest people ever to work with.

This was one of my favorite weddings of the year and now you have to watch their film because it’s so GOOD and I love this couple.

When I sent the teaser to Sherri and Jim, they replied with: “OMFG!!!! Stfu 😭😭😭 I am at such a loss for words and totally sobbing away! Such beauty and class and fun!…Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for capturing the happiest day of our lives! We’re so glad you were a part of it”

(excuse me as I ugly cry in the corner 😭)

nicole & michael

The most aesthetic video I’ve ever made omgomgomg.

When I met Nicole for a consultation a year before her wedding, I was SO hoping she would choose me to be her videographer. Her excitement for the wedding, as well as the aesthetic she wanted for her film "(“Audrey Hepburn, a little drunk” and “1920s glitz and glamour” I mean come onnnnn) made me cross my fingers that I would be able to document part of her and Mike’s love story.

Not only did she have some of the most incredible vendors that I had been hoping to work with for ages, but the whole day was filled with class, fun, and elegance. This was my last video wedding of the 2022 season and dang it, what an absolute perfect way to finish it off.

hadassah & david

This was the most perfect backyard wedding, on the most perfect day, with the most perfect couple. Simply iridescent.

David, the groom, reached out to me after the wedding day and said this about the film-

“I can't believe these moments are ours to have and hold. It takes me back at lightspeed to that day which has already gained so much nostalgic traction in my memory. We both agreed we'll never be the same after this film. It is just too perfect and love-laden and theatrical for us to ever not be watching it. If you ever want to make a full-length indie movie with us, give me a call! Lol . . .

The shot of me hugging my dad before approaching the altar gets me everytime, man. I can barely make it through the rest of the film after that point. Then I get smashed in the face with those aisle of trees shots and the moment where I walk to Hadassah and pull her in for a dance.

These shots kill my lil' heart with their bullets of love…This feels a little like a mountaintop moment . . .

I think I'll sit here, on the peak, for a little while.”

While I sob in the corner check out their Wes Anderson inspired teaser and trailer below.
