Ashley & Brandon’s Love Story | John James Audubon Center

Weddings are breathtaking occasions, and at New Pace Weddings, we pride ourselves on making our couples’ wedding day even better by preserving every special moment. We’re so happy to have the honor of filming some of the most significant moments in their lives. Our videographers capture all of the romance and festivities, and we craft the footage into cinematic wedding videos. 

 

We were so blessed to film the wedding of Ashley and Brandon Rogalski. Ashley and Brandon grew up on opposite sides of the country – Brandon in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina, while Ashley grew up in San Jose, California. They both attended medical school at the Saint Louis University School of Medicine where they met each other during school orientation. After feeling an instant connection, the two immediately became great friends. 

 

After getting to know one another, Ashley and Brandon began dating soon after. Their medical school friends called them by their celebrity couple name “Brashley,” and they all knew that “Brashley” had a future together. They grew closer with another as they traveled, tried new foods, and made fancy cocktails. In their first year of dating, Brandon and Ashley went on monthly anniversary dinners to celebrate their relationship. 

 

Brandon surprised Ashley with a romantic and fun proposal and arranged for their friends and families to watch and celebrate the occasion with them. Some of their family members even flew into Missouri without Ashley knowing it! He popped the question at a Missouri Winery where they had one of their first dates. They celebrated the event with their friends and family, and Brandon arranged a party bus so that they could keep the party going after leaving the winery. 

 

Ashley and Brandon were engaged for two years as they balanced wedding planning and their medical residencies. Their special day arrived on May 18, 2019, and it was absolutely heartwarming and charming. 

 

They celebrated their union together at the John James Audubon Center just outside of Philadelphia, a stunning venue that features 175 gorgeous acres – just perfect for outdoor ceremonies. Brandon and Ashley had a beautiful ceremony outside where they declared their love and devotion to one another with their vows.

 

After the ceremony, Brandon and Ashley had a great time dancing and celebrating with their loved ones. Their favorite part of the day was the love, support, and happiness they felt from their friends and family.

 

They were so thrilled to have a cinematic wedding video that preserved their special day! Ashley expressed that it captured the wedding day perfectly – it showed all of their sentimental moments in addition to all the fun and joy they experienced with their family and friends. We’re so happy that we could provide Brandon and Ashley with a sentimental film that they can forever treasure and share with the people they love. We wish them a lifetime of joy and happiness!

Alyssa & Luc’s Love Story

Weddings are both beautiful and momentous for couples and their loved ones. We are so fortunate to have the privilege of capturing some of the sweetest and most significant moments of a couple’s lives as they declare their love to the world and each other. Our clients can revisit those tender moments and share them with their loved ones through our wedding videography. 

We recently captured the breathtakingly sweet union of Alyssa and Luc Minnich. Alyssa and Luc met on the dating application Bumble, and they quickly knew that they would spend the rest of their lives together! They fell in love while spending time traveling together, exploring breweries and wineries, attending Sixers and Flyers games, and getting tattoos!  

They had their special day at the gorgeous The Mill Lakeside Manor, which features a stunning waterfront view and a peaceful, lush landscape. They set their special day to occur on September 10th, a day after Alyssa’s parents’ anniversary and two days after Luc’s grandparents’ anniversary. Alyssa and Luc value their families, and they wanted to include three generations of love in their special day. 

Before their ceremony, Luc and Alyssa shared an intimate first look on the Spring Lake boardwalk. They had spent the first day of their engagement there, so they were delighted to revisit a spot that meant so much to their relationship. When Luc first laid eyes on Alyssa during their first look, he teared up as he expressed how much he adored her. While on the boardwalk, they shared their vows to always cherish and support each other. That special moment of intimacy before the ceremony was Alyssa and Luc’s favorite part of the day!

Alyssa and Luc’s wedding ceremony was breathtaking. The ceremony featured a heartfelt sermon and warm speeches that perfectly articulated Alyssa and Luc’s love for one another. They participated in the beautiful Celtic ritual of handfasting, where couples tie their hands together, which symbolizes the inseparable bond they’re creating that they’ll live with for the rest of their lives. 

The intimate setting featured a no-phone policy so that guests could enjoy the ceremony without worrying about photographing every moment. We unobtrusively captured the lovely ceremony and crafted their wedding film to reflect these intimate moments. Our film featured Luc and Alyssa’s sweet moments on the boardwalk, their charming ceremony, and their energetic and fun reception.

“We were hesitant on having videography for our wedding and now we can’t imagine not having it! It was the best decision we made regarding our wedding after our conversation with Jenny. From the start Jenny and Laura were great! Eli & Corynn our videographers made us feel incredibly comfortable and were not intrusive. Eli even got us to play darts on the boardwalk and paid for it, he was so dedicated to having fun and capturing our day! We are still in awe of all the footage and can’t stop watching our trailer! Even people that don’t know us cry watching! Thank you all!”

~Love,  Luc and Alyssa


 

Our hand-crafted film also featured many gorgeous drone shots that captured the day’s special events on the boardwalk and at The Mill Lakeside Manor. The smooth movement of our drone and its cinematic camera captured crystal clear videos of the day’s events so that Luc and Alyssa will always have a reminder of their special day. 

With their beautiful wedding trailer, Luc and Alyssa can now relive their wedding day over and over again, and they can share it with their friends and family. They were so thankful to share so many special moments from their wedding with Alyssa’s grandparents, who were unable to attend. Our video made her grandparents feel that they were there with Alyssa and Luc, celebrating their special day. 

We are so happy to have been a part of Luc and Alyssa’s wedding day. We wish them a lifetime of happiness, and we’re confident that they’ll have the most amazing life together.

“Initially, we were on the fence about hiring a videographer in general but now consider it the best decision we made during the entire process. From start to finish, New Pace was truly a dream to work with. The team was prompt in responses, patient with questions/indecisiveness from our end, and made us feel so comfortable.

Andrew and John were our videographers the day of, and the only way to describe these guys is FUN. They made us all laugh, showed their creativity in how they took the shots and it seemed like they were having fun while doing it too. Our favorite part was how they got right on the dance floor with our guests and captured the moments we didn’t get to see ourselves.

Truly can’t find a bad thing to say about the New Pace team and would strongly recommend them to anyone who wants a unforgettable wedding video. “
