Cristina & Sean’s Love Story | The Ballroom at Ellis Preserve

Memorable Moments from Your Philadelphia Wedding Videographer

Here at New Pace Weddings, we have the privilege of filming some of the most precious moments in a couple’s lives. We love having the opportunity to capture partners’ love and connection on their special day as they commit their lives to one another. Long after marrying, our couples get to revisit those special moments and share them with their loved ones through our memorable cinematic wedding videography.

 

We recently had the honor of using our wedding cinematography services to film the marriage ceremony of Cristina and Sean Albert. Cristina and Sean met on Match.com back in 2016. Sean had recently moved up to New Jersey for work, and Cristina was in the process of finishing graduate school when they first met. Their first date took place at Stephen’s on State Steakhouse, and it was love at first sight! They spent the next three years traveling and spending time together as they strengthened their relationship and love for one another. 

 

Sean and Cristina became engaged on September 19, 2019. Cristina came home one evening to the sound of their favorite song — “Shallow” by Lady Gaga playing in their bedroom. Cristina walked into the bedroom and found Sean with a beautiful arrangement of sunflowers. He told Cristina to look out the window, and when she did, she saw light-up letters strung across their backyard that read, “Will you marry me?” When she turned around, she discovered Sean on one knee. 

 

The couple’s special day arrived on November 7th, 2020 at the Ballroom at Ellis Preserve, and the day couldn’t have been more breathtaking! Their first look was especially lovely, with gorgeous fall colors surrounding them. During the first look, they stood back-to-back for an intimate moment. When Cristina and Sean turned around, they saw both the love of their life and their best friend in one another. 

 

Cristina and Sean’s favorite moment of the day was by far the ceremony. Cristina surprised Sean by having a trumpet player play their signature song, “Shallow,” as she walked down the aisle. Sean was a trumpet player in college, so he was thrilled to hear the song that had so much meaning to their relationship. 

 

The couple wrote their own intimate vows and shared them up on stage. They both expressed their love and commitment to one another in front of their friends and family. Cristina told Sean that his selfless love had changed her life, and Sean said to her, “you will forever be my always.” We were so happy our wedding videographers captured such a beautiful and unforgettable moment on camera so that Cristina and Sean can relive it over and over again!

 

When it came time for their reception at The Ballroom at Ellis Preserve, it was jam-packed with great music and dancing. Cristina and Sean’s first dance was accompanied by exceptional musicians that made the reception even more memorable. Their guests had a great time dancing to upbeat songs with colorful lights that brought even more life to the whole event.

 

Sean and Cristina adored the final wedding video we crafted for them, and especially enjoyed how the music in the film aligned with the elements of their wedding day. They are so thrilled that they get to share their special day with their loved ones who were unable to attend the event because of COVID-19. Now, they can share their cinematic wedding film with their friends and family, and relive the special moments for years to come.

 

We wish Cristina and Sean the best life together, and we’re so thankful that we could make their wedding even better with a video to capture all the memories of their beautiful day.

Trish & Dennis’ Love Story | A Dream Crystal Tea Room Wedding

Unforgettable Life Moments From Your Philadelphia Wedding Videographer

 

Weddings are an unforgettable testament to a couple’s love. At New Pace Weddings, we are honored to be able to capture the magic of the moment and tell beautiful love stories through our wedding videography. Our couples cherish being able to relive their special day through video and share it with family and friends for years to come.

 

Trish and Dennis Walter are celebrating their wedding anniversary on July 26! Two years ago, our team captured their stunning wedding in Philadelphia at the Crystal Tea Room. Their love story began when Trish met Dennis in the summer of 2015 at a shore house in New Jersey. They were introduced by mutual friends and at first, Trish thought they’d both enjoy a fun summer fling. “But after our first date, we became inseparable,” Trish says. “We just knew that we were meant to be with each other forever.” So, it IS possible to find love at the Jersey shore!

 

A year later, they purchased their first home, which led to a new favorite activity for the two,  making fabulous meals together. Trish and Dennis are huge foodies!

 

In fact, Dennis proposed to Trish a few years later at one of their favorite restaurants, the Riverwinds in West Deptford, NJ. He even surprised Trish by inviting her closest family and friends to be there – a surprise that was almost revealed too early! 

 

Here’s what happened:  Dennis wanted Trish to take a seat at their table where her loved ones would remain hidden until the right moment. But she wouldn’t sit where the sun would be in her eyes and refused to change seats! They laugh about it now, but Trish almost spoiled her own engagement!

 

Trish and Dennis’ wedding day was easily the most glamorous and amazing day of their lives. The wedding ceremony took place at St. Patrick’s Church, where Anastasia Romanova Photography captured Trish and Dennis seeing each other for the first time as Trish walked down the aisle. She remembers it as the best moment, when all her nerves disappeared and everything felt just right. They had their dream reception at the elegant Crystal Tea Room in the historic Wanamaker Building, which features luxurious carved columns, a sparkling crystal chandelier and a soaring glassed atrium entryway. The bridal party arrived early enough to capture a fun, Vanity Fair-esque shot of the group.

 

Once the guests arrived, the magnificent white dance floor and grand pillars were accented perfectly by Dennis’ ivory tuxedo, the ivory bridesmaids gowns, the white and blush flowers and the enormous floral table runner that Nicol Floral Design created for the sweetheart table, with classic style reminiscent of British Royal weddings.

 

Trish and Dennis gave their guests the celebrity treatment with the culinary brilliance of Finley Catering and the fun, glamour shot photos as keepsakes. 

 

“The thing we cherish most about our wedding day was having everyone we love in one place for that evening. At the time, COVID was not even thought of. The fact that we were able to get everyone we love together in one place before the world essentially shut down is something we will forever cherish and be grateful for!”

-Trish and Dennis Walter

 

Trish and Dennis also cherish their beautiful wedding trailer. The part Trish loves most is the “getting ready” section because she was able to see how it happened for Dennis and his groomsmen. She also loved the way our videographer captured Dennis’ expression as she walked down the aisle to him. Priceless!

 

We are so happy to have been a part of Trish and Dennis’ wedding day. Happy Anniversary! We wish you and your family all the best in your adventures together. If you’re looking for a Philadelphia wedding videographer who will expertly hand-craft a modern wedding film that captures all the magic of your big day, let’s talk soon to ensure your special day is even more perfect!

“New Pace wedding films is simply the best!!!!! They were great with communication prior to my wedding and made sure they knew exactly what I wanted!

“If New Pace is available for your wedding, book them immediately! I was one of those brides who didn’t think they needed videography but everyone around me told me I would regret if I didn’t get it. I am here to tell you, I was wrong and if you are on the fence you should call New Pace and let Jenny help you figure out the best package for you!

New Pace was recommended to us by Cescaphe and they were the first vendors we officially booked after our venue. From day 1 they went above and beyond what we expected. Our original wedding was scheduled for March 28, 2020 and we ended up rescheduling 3 times and then finally splitting our package to do the ceremony one day and the reception at a later date. New Pace was generous and flexible with every change we had.

Our videographer was amazing to work with and we are amazed at the film he was able to capture. We are excited to work with New Pace again for our reception!

Our wedding day was amazing, and we are so lucky that we had New Pace to capture our memories on film. We just received our Wedding Day Teaser and I can not stop watching it. We are so happy with New Pace and can not thank Jenny, Laura and Eli for all the work they did to make our wedding and memories so special.”

“Hiring a videographer was not a priority for me when wedding planning, but I’m sooooo glad that we decided to have one and that we chose New Pace! We saw them at a Cescaphe University event and knew we had to have them. The planning process was so smooth, which is tough considering we planned through the pandemic. Our videographers were prompt, very professional, but so fun to work with on the day of. Our trailer was so beautiful, I seriously can’t stop watching it!! They got some amazing shots that tied the whole video together. It was edited in a way that you felt like you were watching a movie trailer :’) If you are on the fence about getting a videographer, I would say just do it and hire New Pace!! It’ll be worth it to have the video to look back on in the future.”

“New Pace was amazing to work with from start to finish! They checked in a few times prior to our wedding which was appreciated! The day of our wedding, Eli was extremely professional and awesome to work with. He made us feel very comfortable and was so nice. I can’t say enough good things about our wedding video! It was sent to us quicker than expected and we are obsessed with it. It brought the day back to life and I’m so happy we will always have this video to look back on! Thank you New Pace!!”
