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.

If you’re looking for a hand-crafted modern wedding film that captures every moment of your big day, let’s talk soon to ensure your special day is even more perfect!

You Can’t Postpone Love – COVID-19

You Can’t Postpone Love

When Maria and Jimmy had to postpone their April 17th wedding at The Crystal Tea Room in Philadelphia they were absolutely heartbroken. Together with their friends and family they were able to share their first dance on the street outside of their home surrounded by so much (socially distanced) love.

In Maria’s words: “I just wanted to extend my sincerest thank you to the videographer who came out on Friday, April 17th… I was told by my family and friends who planned this surprise for us that she came without hesitation. It obviously was not the day we had planned, but people and moments like this made our day so special. We are so grateful to all of you for helping to make this happen. Please extend my thank you to the videographer, and thank you and your team for being amazing! I hope that you’re all staying safe, and we cannot wait to work with you 🙂 Thank you, Maria”

Laura from our team was there to capture it all without hesitation because we believe that amazing wedding videography comes together when talent meets heart. Having that as a guiding principle in the way we have done business for over a decade, meant that there was no way we were going to miss this beautiful surprise. We were so happy to finally have the chance to film Maria & Jimmy’s wedding at Ellis Preserve in September and wish them both all the very best in the years to come!

COVID-19 Response:

No Postponement Fees & Worry-Free Rescheduling!

Like Maria and Jimmy, sadly many of our couples have had to postpone their weddings due to COVID-19. Our wedding videography studio has always had emergency systems in place in case of sickness or the unexpected. After all, you only get married on one day.  You have to know that no matter what your wedding videographer (and all of your wedding vendors!) are going to be there and that they have systems in place to protect you and your irreplaceable moments.

While we never could have anticipated COVID-19 and it’s effects on the wedding industry, as the situation has evolved our existing systems, team of videographers and expert studio crew have become more valuable than ever! With the help of our Studio Manager Jenny and Production Manager Laura, we have been able to seamlessly reschedule all of our 200+ couples to their newly selected dates without issue. With the click of a button our postponing couples have been able to approve their date changes without additional postponement fees or stress. None of our couples have had to start their wedding videography search over again and we have been able to help many new couples that found themselves without a videographer due to scheduling conflicts.

Planning a wedding once is hard enough, let alone having to do it twice, so the least we could do is make the COVID-19 rescheduling process as easy as possible. With quick efficient communication we’ve been able to get everyone back on track for their big days (And for some we’re filming both of their wedding days – ask us about our Elopement Packages!) 

 

The COVID-19 Postponement Process: 

If you have to postpone your wedding due to COVID the process would be:

1) Reach out to let us know that you’ve had to make the very hard decision to postpone

2) Select your new wedding date & let us know what that is

3) Your contract is revised (no additional fees & all payments made move over to your new date)

4) Click “Approve” and take a deep breath, you’ve checked videography back off the list again!

Gabby & Bob – The Lucy

“We are so happy we chose New Pace!! They are professional, talented and so easy to work with! My husband and I originally cut videography due to budget, but after many conversations, we realized it was something we couldn’t do without. From our first conversation with Jenny to the delivery of our final video, they were nothing but amazing. Using New Pace was one of the best decisions we made for our day. We absolutely love our video and are so happy we have it look back on! I refer them to anyone I know getting married! Thank you New Pace for everything!”
