Wedding Film Theatre Premieres

Recently I did something really cool for two of our couples. For quite a while I've thought it would be really awesome to premiere wedding films for our couples in an actual movie theatre. Kate + Chris and Cait + Nick were happy to get together on a Sunday afternoon as I held private showings to premiere their feature films at The Strand Theatre in Clinton, MA. Kurt and Mike joined me who filmed both weddings with me. The Strand was built in 1924 and is one of the area's oldest movie theaters. They show movies six nights a week, offer casual meals and drinks and deliver an awesome movie experience at very reasonable prices. Despite the age of the theatre it certainly is up to date with a great projector and sound system that certainly brought out the best in the quality of our films.

soon after the premiere Cait wrote this amazing review...
When we first starting planning our wedding, we were unsure whether we wanted to hire a videographer. We did some research and did not find ourselves overly excited or impressed by the wedding videos we were viewing. To be honest, we didn’t know if it was worth the additional expense and we were convinced that if we invested in a great photographer, a wedding video was not a necessity. We were wrong, capturing your wedding day on video is just as important as the photographs! ALL of our uncertainty and thoughts towards videography completed changed the minute we watched a sample of Jeff’s work. I realized the value of a wedding video when I was brought to tears while watching a sample video of complete strangers! We had to meet with Jeff immediately! It was refreshing to meet with a friendly and laid back vendor who had a no pressure approach to working with prospective clients. We felt at ease instantly and found that we had no doubts at all about booking Jeff as our videographer. Jeff’s professionalism is evident from the first inquiry as he promptly responds when contacted and shows that he cares about the details of your wedding day. He has a great personalized client website that made it easy to communicate, access all documents, share important wedding information, and stay organized. It wasn’t until we shared an incredible moment with each other and our guests as we watched our same day edit at the end of our reception, that we realized booking Jeff was the best decision we made while planning our wedding. His work is AMAZING!! His style of cinematography is so unique and incomparable! His team demonstrates a high level of expertise as they capture the special moments of your day at every angle. They were unobtrusive and made us feel comfortable, so much so, sometimes we didn’t even realize they were there. The same day edit was the perfect touch to our amazing day! We were in awe that Jeff could pull together such an incredible piece of work in only a few hours while maintaining coverage of our entire day! Our guests were blown away and they have not stopped raving about the same day edit played at our reception! We have received so many compliments about how much fun our wedding was and many claimed it to be the best wedding they have ever been to…we owe much of that credit to Jeff and his team. The same day edit brought a unique style to our wedding that proved to be a huge hit! We know we will be seeing Jeff and his team at many weddings in the future! Jeff also invited us to a private theatre screening to premiere our feature film! Watching our video in HD on the big screen with family and friends was an awesome experience! Again, we were thrilled with the outcome of our feature film! It far exceeded our expectations!! (And after seeing the same day edit, our expectations were pretty high!) Just when we thought it couldn’t get better, Jeff amazed us again! The film left me speechless, it is truly phenomenal! We love love love all of the final products – the same day edit, our guests’ video messages, and our feature film! We had a wonderful experience working with Jeff and we highly recommend him for his expertise in capturing the important moments of a wedding day and creating a priceless wedding film. Jeff has provided us with such an entertaining and touching film that will only be more precious and valuable with time! We could not be happier with our experience! Stop your search here – book Jeff Brouillet! You will experience wedding cinematography truly at its best!!



I can't even express how awesome it feels to hear such wonderful comments - I LOVE my "job" and it makes me so happy to hear how much our work is appreciated. Thank you! :)


We filmed Kate + Chris's wedding in Boston on January 30th. When I left my house it was 0℉ and upon our arrival in Boston it was a comfortable 6℉. Despite a little bit of chilly weather it was absolutely one of my favorite weddings. Kate was really into our work and we had about 15 hours of platinum coverage on her wedding day. There were so many highlights to the day - to begin with a winter wedding in Boston is unique in itself. The speeches during the reception were so beautiful and well said that it really brought together their story and some great insight into who they are. Their ceremony took place at a stunning catholic church in Charlestown and they had an awesome party at a private club - the historic Union Club of Boston.

Our wedding films capture the complete story of your day in a cinematic feature film that is something truly unique and meaningful to the couple. Kate + Chris were so awesome to work with and their amazing wedding certainly helped make a great wedding film.

Kate was kind enough to leave an awesome review after premiering her feature film...
There is nothing I can say, other then Jeff and his team are INCREDIBLE. They take the moments of the most important day of your life and turn them into a beautifully cinematic story. At some points while watching our film, I asked myself “Is that really us? We look like movie stars.” He is so professional and attentive to each brides needs and really wants to get to know each couple instead of just showing up on your big day hoping that everything goes according to plan. He exceeded our expectations beyond what I thought was possible. I’ve refereed all of my friends who are getting married to Jeff—I think he’s booked quite a few weddings because I scream his praises so loudly. Anyone can it “record” on a video camera. But no one in New England can tell a story through the lens of his video equipment like Jeff can.


If you would are interested in viewing one of our feature films get in touch and we'd love to share one.

Kara + John | a fourth of July same day edit

I filmed Kara + John's wedding for my friend Mike Murray - he's filmed a few weddings with me so I wanted to tag along with one of his and this was a fantastic wedding to be a part of! I edited the same day edit, which includes some really awesome touches from Mike such as a shot of the day's newspaper from Las Vegas and locally, and some fireworks at the end he filmed the night before. The reception took place at The Society Room of Hartford -which is one of the most spectacular venues I've been to!

Brittany + Craig | same day edit

We were lucky to be part of Brittany + Craig's awesome wedding yesterday in Ashland. They were married at The Warren Conference Center & Inn... such a cool spot for a wedding! It has a great New England feel to it and it was an absolutely beautiful place to be - especially with the wet weather that came through in the afternoon!

Brittany actually went to high school with my sister, and come to find out also knows Kate + Chris as well who had a same day edit with us in January and coincidentally will be premiering their feature film a couple hours after I write this - small world!

We had the opportunity to work with some other awesome wedding vendors yesterday. Their photographer was Jeff Turner of Black Thumb Studio and he and his team were really awesome to work with... you can tell when people really love what they do and Jeff and his team definitely do! Their DJ was Greg Capozzi of C-zone music who certainly kept everyone on the dance floor and was super helpful with our audio hookups and same day edit planning. He mixed the music perfectly all night and it sounded awesome!

Enjoy!

Natalie + Robert | a double feature - love story + same day edit

I was really excited for Natalie and Rob's wedding for quite some time. The story of a couple and their wedding carries well beyond the wedding day itself. I filmed a love story for Natalie and Rob on Cape Cod a couple months back with the assistance of my amazing ladyfriend Amanda... who did a wonderful job and some of her shots are in the film. The love story addition to the same day edit is a really awesome way to share your story with your guests, and the same day edit (which we typically keep as a surprise for the guests) never fails to amaze the couple and the guests. I've been anxious to show their love story film, we got really lucky with a perfect day to shoot this one. :)

Natalie and Rob were married in an absolutley beautiful Transfiguration Greek Orthodox Church in Lowell with their reception at the beautiful ballroom at Tewksbury Country Club. They are one of those couples that when you meet they just seem like the perfect fit. They were so fun to work with and we even attended their rehearsal, which we just had to tie into the same day edit!

I'm pretty sure Natalie and Rob weren't even going to have video coverage of their wedding until they stumbled across our work. Natalie actually requested a Hans Zimmer masterpiece from the soundtrack to "The Holiday" which may sound familiar if you dig back into the archives a bit. It turned out to be a perfect fit and I am sure glad we had the opportunity to be part of their awesome wedding day. Enjoy the double feature!
