In early September, we attended another Cescaphe University, this time hosted at The Switch House, one of Cescaphe’s newest Philadelphia venues. The setting made for a beautiful backdrop to a night of wedding inspiration, giving couples an inside look at the Cescaphe experience with planning tips, décor displays, and trusted vendor connections.
This event highlighted weddings taking place between January and March 2026. With more than 200 guests in attendance, couples and their families enjoyed delicious tastings, admired thoughtful details, and connected with Cescaphe’s expert team. The evening was filled with fresh ideas and meaningful moments to carry into their own wedding planning.
The Switch House impressed with its modern design, open layout, and signature Cescaphe elegance—allowing couples to envision their own day while exploring the possibilities alongside talented industry professionals.
We were honored to be part of such a memorable night, both as a vendor and by documenting the experience through photography and content creation. Scroll below for a look back at the magic!
As always, we’re so grateful to the Cescaphe team for inviting us to be part of such a memorable evening at The Switch House. It was such a joy connecting with newly engaged couples and capturing the energy, inspiration, and excitement of the night.

You want your wedding to be perfect — you spend years dreaming of it, and months planning every intricate detail. But, in hindsight, one of the most common regrets couples have is declining to hire a videographer to capture their wedding day.
You may be hesitant about hiring a wedding videographer for a number of reasons. Wedding videography may feel like an add-on that you and your partner can schedule at the last minute if there’s enough money left over, or you may think videography isn’t much different from photography.
However, waiting until the last minute to hire a videographer can leave you stressed and scrambling to find a credible team with last-minute availability, which is often difficult and will mean hiring a less-experienced team that will produce lower-quality video. You don’t want to miss out on capturing all the unforgettable, irreplaceable moments of your wedding day that you’ll want to treasure forever.
At New Pace Weddings, our couples are elated that they didn’t pass up the opportunity to record their wedding. They find that it was ultimately an investment that pays in emotional dividends for the rest of their lives as they relive the memories of their commitment to each other and the time spent celebrating with those nearest and dearest to them:
“New Pace was so amazing from start to finish. I still cry looking at our wedding footage. They truly captured our entire day as well as the love my husband and I share. I was so amazed and so grateful to look back and see how much love that day holds for us! I truly have no words other than absolutely outstanding!”
– Jackee and Andrew
Hiring a cinematic videographer to document the sweeping visions, quiet moments, festive celebrations, and tiny details of your wedding is the perfect way to capture the feeling of your wedding day to revisit for years to come. Here are five reasons couples are over the moon about their decision to shoot their wedding on video.
1. For Friends and Family Members Who Can’t Attend
In a perfect world, your wedding would be attended by an entourage of all the people who helped sew the fabric of your lives — aunts and uncles, friends, mentors, family, and friends, and all those nearest and dearest to you.
But whether you’re seeking an intimate gathering of just a few close-knit loved ones, or if there are a few cherished individuals who live out of the country or too far away to travel, there may be a few people who aren’t there for your special day.
So, how do you allow those important people to still partake in the wedding celebration in some way?
A photo may share a glimpse of a single moment, but when you hire a professional videographer, you can catch every breath, each heartfelt anecdote in a toast, and every twirl on the dance floor. If a picture is worth a thousand words, then a video is worth a thousand pictures. Capturing important moments on film will allow your friends and family to witness this climactic moment in your life story as if they were there — all the emotional moments and all the laughter, dancing, love, and joy included: documented forever.
2. A Priceless Sentimental Keepsake
Even though most wedding days happen after months — or even years—of planning, the day itself passes by at a breathless pace. The couples we work with always share with us that their wedding day went by so quickly that it was hard to find more than a minute or two to celebrate as a couple or enjoy more than a few bites of cake or a sip of champagne. But? When these moments are captured on film, you can go back and relive them over and over again as frequently as you’d like and feel that same magic again.
The couples we work with cherish their wedding video as a priceless gift that they can open year after year to celebrate their anniversary. Years down the line, they can even share these organically captured moments with their children.
When you hire a professional videographer, you won’t have to rely on recollection to relive your first look, your first kiss as a married couple, your loved ones’ toasts, your first dance, or a spin on the dance floor with your parents because they’ll be available to you at the click of a button.
3. You Can Listen Again to Vows, Speeches, and More
Your vows are the most important part of your ceremony: The moment you and your partner commit your forever-love to each other in front of the people who matter most to you. What better way to preserve your vows than to capture them on film?
This way, you and your spouse can revisit and replay your promises any time you like — helping you remember what your marriage meant to you from the beginning, recall the enchantment and romance you felt in that moment, and reflect on all the ways your love has grown and evolved in the time since.
4. Moments You May Have Missed
You’ve taken extra care to plan every moment of your wedding, but your day will go by quickly. You’ll want to be able to go back and relive all the moments you experience yourself, as well as savor all the moments happening at your ceremony and reception; the moments of friends reuniting, singing along to the music, and dusting off your dance moves, the laughter and smiles of your guests, and the reactions of your family as you proclaim your love to one another.
With videography, you can be present for events on the opposite side of the dance floor. Spouses can see the things they missed while their bride or groom was preparing on the morning of. Wedding videography allows you to capture your wedding in full and visit moments you wish you could’ve been a part of.
5. Sound Bites and Movement
Static photography is its own art form. It’s wonderful; it’s able to capture a single moment and represent it in a still image so that you can study every detail.
But static photography can never convey the emotion of all the special moments that are recorded through videography, including loved ones’ faces and their raw reaction as you walk down the aisle. Videography captures everything.

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! Still on the fence? Take a look at what real couples have to share about why they choose New Pace Weddings to effortlessly and artfully capture their special day!
When it comes to filming your wedding — one of the biggest and definitely most planned days of your entire life — the sky’s the limit. Literally. You’ve put lots of thought into every detail of your venue, your dinner, your flowers, and your look. Why not document it all from a bird’s eye view to put it all into perspective?
By hiring a wedding videographer, you aren’t just committing your heart to the love of your life on that day; you’re also committing to capturing all the large and small moments from your day — the ones you cherish that make it memorable, fun, and fresh. It means you can rewatch every detail of your first dance or the best-man speech at the push of a button.
There are so many ways to make your wedding video unique and interesting, but perhaps one of the best ways to gain a new perspective on your day is with sweeping drone footage taken from above.
When you hire New Pace Weddings as your cinematic videographer to record your wedding, we can use a drone at heights as high as 400 feet to capture sweeping and cinematic images of your wedding and the surrounding views for a Hollywood-esque quality to your wedding video. In combination with traditional videography, your wedding video will take on an emotional and breathtaking narrative.
What Types of Shots Can you Expect from Drone Videography in Your Wedding Video
Drone footage can enhance your wedding film by adding different points of view, complementing the other footage our experienced videographers gather throughout the day, possibly including moments like group photos, pre-staged glamour shots, quiet moments shared where it’s just the two of you, and overhead shots of the wedding party leaving the venue.
Let’s be real – planning a wedding is a ton of work. We know that you spend countless hours choosing a venue and selecting intricate decor and each aspect of your wedding’s design. Our drone footage will highlight the unique aspects of your venue’s scenery, like overhead shots of flower petals coating the ground, for instance. You can have overhead footage of the wedding party walking down the beach, or through changing fall foliage. Our videographer can even take wide and expansive shots of vast outdoor scenery such as waterfronts, mountaintops, scenic farmsteads, or the rolling hills of a winery to fully paint the picture of your wedding on your special day.
It’s all about setting the scene of your wedding and preserving the little, lifelike details. Were the leaves changing color? Was there fresh snow on the ground? Were the waves rolling with life, or was the water crystalline and flat? We can capture it all with drone videography.
Why Drone Videography Is Different from Regular Wedding Videography
With drone footage, your wedding video’s visual aesthetic can really spread its wings — in a very real way. Disrupting the repetition of ground-level footage, video drones record your wedding and the surrounding landscapes from the sky. These shots add more visual interest, soaring movement, and appeal to the eye that ground-level angles just can’t achieve.
There’s only so much you can do with a ground-level camera. Drone videography, on the other hand, opens all new kinds of creative doors — allowing your wedding videographer to shoot from new viewpoints and sky-high angles. Not only will the footage be more interesting, but it will also set your wedding video apart from any others your friends and family have seen.
One of the standout features of drone video footage is its ability to make your wedding video look high-end and cinematic. It’s one of the most effective, emotion-filled ways to capture the same feeling of getting swept away by the romance and emotion that accompanies your wedding day.
You’ll feel like you’re reliving the event in person every time you watch the video. It’s not only the precision skill of our videographer or the high-quality of the camera that makes this achievable. Drone footage simply allows for a type of footage other cameras don’t.
Wide-panning establishing shots will set the scenery for your viewers, showing the venue and its surroundings from the air. Whether it’s a beautiful sunny day, a crisp autumn afternoon with changing leaves, or a windy morning at the beach — the full aesthetic beauty of your wedding will translate seamlessly to film.
Drone videography can do this for you by capturing aerial footage of you and your new spouse delighting in each other’s company and taking in the great outdoors and the unique features of your wedding venue. With this sort of footage, your wedding video will take on a new level of grandeur.
