Jaime M. Sent on 01/25/2024One of the best wedding decisions I made was hiring them!
I have known Grace and Ben for about 6 years now, as I'm a wedding vendor! I own Autumn Nomad and have worked with them with not only real weddings, but tons of photoshoots over the years.
One of the absolute best decisions I've ever made was hiring them for our wedding. I've never hired a videographer for anything. Not only did they make you feel so comfortable and not in your face at all, but they're extremely professional and timely. They very much take their job seriously and it shows.
I spoke with Grace the most in the planning stages and she always had so much insight that helped the day flow perfectly.
Once we received our video, I'll tell you - we both could not stop crying. They captured things I didn't even realize happened. Like from all angles of the day. They didn't miss anything. We had the opportunity to relive the day and it was unreal. Absolutely you need to hire video. It's worth the price and you'll have that video footage and hearing speeches and your vows and everything else, forever.
I adore them so much and couldn't recommend them any higher. -

Lisa F. Sent on 02/08/2023Blown away by the videos!!!
I’m the mother of the bride who didn’t know what to expect. We were blown away by the video created. It was just perfect. Very professional, caught every moment. They create a video that leaves me smiling and reminiscing. I’m a New Yorker and often hard to please. If you are looking for a videographer…. Novae is simply the best.Novae Film and Photo's reply:
Thank you so much Lisa! This is the kindest message!! We had such fun with you and your family. You raised an amazing daughter and we are so thankful to have been there for you all! -

Jaime Sent on 10/14/2022Hire these talented angels!!
Where to begin?! A videographer was not even on our list of vendors to hire when we started the planning process. After receiving a recommendation to check out Novae, I promptly went to Instagram and proceeded to cry watching Novae’s highlight videos of other people’s weddings. Grace & Ben capture emotion so beautifully and are absolute experts at what they do. Not only that, but they are both genuine and kind humans which isn’t always easy to find. Adding them to our vendor list very quickly became not just a want, but a need.
We had two years of communication before our wedding day finally arrived and every single time we spoke whether it be via email, phone or text, it was always so easy, enjoyable and stress-free. Grace was my saving grace (pun intended) throughout the pandemic and our postponement. She was so much more than just one of our wedding vendors but became a friend that genuinely cared about us. She provided a listening ear, advice, love, laughs, patience and understanding. In those two years, she was so supportive throughout not just wedding related endeavors, but throughout our own personal journey of back-to-back-to-back losses. Grace’s middle name should be empathy. By the time we finally met in person, it felt like I had already known her for way more than two years.
So many of our guests commented on how hard both Grace & Ben were working on our wedding day. They said they noticed they were everywhere, while simultaneously blending in and being completely in the background - AKA true professionals. They also make you feel so comfortable being on the other side of the lens.
Weddings are an investment and finding someone to capture those memories that can stay with you for a lifetime is absolutely an investment worth making – especially if you choose to work with Novae. I’ve always said Grace & Ben create magic, and it felt so surreal to be on the receiving end of that when our final videos were delivered. I now cry every time I watch our own Novae videos of our own wedding. They captured every emotion and moment so perfectly and watching them truly transports us back in time to the best day of our lives. The joy and love were tangible and getting an opportunity to relive those moments every time we watch our videos is truly a blessing that we cannot wait to share with our future children. And to think, we almost lost out on that had we not included videography in our budget. Ultimately, choosing Grace & Ben as our videographers was without a doubt THE best decision we could have ever made for our wedding day. We are eternally grateful and cannot recommend them enough!!Novae Film and Photo's reply:

Amazing people with amazing product!
Grace and Ben were wonderful! They are super fun to work with, made us feel comfortable, and we love our wedding pictures and video!
From the beginning, they were very responsive, they helped us choose a location to do our engagement shoot, and even with covid putting a wrench in the initial plans, they helped us find a backup location with wonderful views! My partner initially hated the idea of photos, but they made him so comfortable, he even admitted to having fun on the engagement shoot day!
The day of the wedding, Grace got all of the photos organized, helped me get my family together, and even politely, and firmly, managed a specific family member, who certainly needed it!
Ben got wonderful shots with his video camera, was very polite and respectful of the girls getting ready in the am, and he got amazing views with his drone!
I am so glad we did a first look, because it happened to rain our entire ceremony! Grace and Ben were awesome when it came to switching up the family photo plan because of the rain. We had to switch our remaining photos to indoors, and when things started to go south, as we were unable to gather/locate all family members, she could tell I was getting frustrated. We decided to call it quits with the current photo situation, and she let my husband and I go eat. She also knew it was important to me to get one large family photo, so when the rain stopped, she pulled everyone out doors for the photo, and only pulled us away from dinner when everyone else was set up for the pic! That was huge! Despite the rain, the photos and videos turned out amazing!
Ben was able to incorporate all of our ceremony and everyone's speeches into the full length video, which was so fun to watch months later too!
Highly recommend these two!Novae Film and Photo's reply:
We are SO happy our paths crossed. You two are so kind and we had so much fun with you for your engagement session and wedding day! Always so honored to witness such monumental moments! So much love to you and C! -

Sarah Sent on 06/27/2022The Absolute Best!
Oh. My. Gosh. What can we say?! My husband and I are completely blown away by the videos Novae created for us and words simply cannot express just how grateful we are for Ben & Grace. We have watched all of our videos multiple times and it is truly amazing how we are able to be transported back to the most special weekend of our lives - the emotions, the sounds, the compassionate energy we were surrounded by, the beautiful shots of our venue - just everything!! We're still emotional now even after having had some time to process! Through their incredible talent and amazing ability to relate and tap into our energy, Novae created the most special gift through our films that we will cherish forever and we can easily say that HANDS DOWN hiring Novae was the best decision that we could have made when it came to capturing our wedding weekend. Thank you Ben & Grace, for your kindness, your thoughtfulness, your sincere dedication, and your unbelievable, unmatched talent that captured these intimate memories in the most spectacular, heartfelt way. We will be watching these forever!
Aside from the amazing films they created for us, Grace & Ben are the most wonderful humans to have by your side on your wedding day. From the beginning, they felt more like friends than vendors to us and made us feel so comfortable, appreciated, accepted, and understood through every step of the process, from booking, to our unexpected postponement, to the rehearsal dinner, and wedding day. In fact, we loved working with both of them so much that we were sad to say goodbye when they were done filming our wedding! If you have the opportunity to work with Novae, absolutely do it - you will be so happy that you did.Novae Film and Photo's reply:
This is the SWEETEST message! Thank you endlessly for your kind words. We feel so grateful to know people like you and E and we are so happy we all connected. Your wedding weekend was the absolute BEST time and we feel so honored to have witness every ounce! Thank you so much for having us! -

Such enthusiastic photographers!
Grace and Ben were SO awesome to work with. I think Grace was more excited about my wedding details than I was haha! They were very easy to communicate with and were overly generous with their time. We LOVED our wedding photos, they're everything we hoped for! They could not have made us feel more comfortable and in love on our wedding day. We felt like celebrities! Highly recommend this fantastic duo. -

Allie R. Sent on 05/04/2021Holy wow, what an amazing video and production team!
I could not recommend going with Novae enough. Grace and Ben are truly the nicest people and they are so incredibly easy to work with. Grace was very responsive on the days leading up to our wedding, and she and Ben were so thoughtful about capturing the true essence of our day. Having our wedding highlight and ceremony captured has to be the most special memory we have of our big day! -

Life Changing
Ben & Grace are literal artistic geniuses! We were told in the beginning of the process having a wedding video is one of the best investments because you usually forget or don’t get to see all the moments of your day. So we had no hesitation making the investment with Ben & Grace! It’s actually a family tradition at this point as we are the third in the family to go through them for our wedding photos/video. They are really just becoming part of our family at this point.
We got to know them best on our engagement shoot, they got a feel for us and we got a feel for them and how they works all just got really comfortable with each other, so we highly recommend utilizing them for that as well!
Seriously, please go watch our teaser and highlight films on Vimeo (links below) and you’ll see their magic!
Teaser: https://vimeo.com/494481843
Highlight: https://vimeo.com/522852681
We also highly recommend hiring them for photos and video. Because these two are so in sync with each other you have a seamless video! I’ve seen people hire separate photographers and videographers and they are in each others shots and usually one ruins a capturable moment for the other, we did not have this issue with Ben & Grace.
Grace is also like a wealth of knowledge if you need suggestions for anything! Thankful for her for telling us about our wedding venue after Covid forced us to cancel our big wedding.
Honestly they are a dream team and worth the investment! Promise!

Samantha Sent on 01/05/2022Book Grace and Ben NOW :)
Grace and Ben were HANDS DOWN the best business we hired for our wedding day. They were discrete yet with us every step of the way! Organized and hardworking are understatements as they worked their TAILS off to help keep us comfortable, relaxed, and "flowing" through all the stages of the day. On top of their incredible professionalism, they are wonderful human beings that are personable and so easy to work with. Grace is hilarious and Ben is just the sweetest thing. If you're wedding film/photography is a priority for you, drop your stuff and book them while you can. We are planning to shoot with them again in the future even though we live a few states away. Thank you Grace and Ben!

Siobhan G. Sent on 11/27/2019Thank you Grace and Ben!!!!
Grace and Ben brought such a kindness and warmth to their work. From our first interaction to the final product, they were incredibly accommodating and an absolute pleasure to work with. Grace and Ben made us feel as though we were the only wedding of the year! Through endless hours on the phone, tireless preparation, and consistent accessibility, the two were there for us every step of the way. Much like their beautiful souls, their work was equally beautiful and creative. We love you Grace and Ben, and thank you a million times! -

Alicia S. Sent on 10/23/2019Unique. Fun. Dope AF.
Grace + Ben are true gems. They love hard and give so much time for those minor details that make such a big impact in the overall production. My wife + I are not the most overly PDA kind of people. We are super weird but love that about us. They didn't force us to be something we are not. They didn't rush anything. They understood what was important to us. We hired them because they have such great personalities that balance one another out. Grace is super amazing in completely different areas than Ben and vise versa. My wife loved them because they made things simple and made her feel dapper AF. Hire them. Pronto. Especially if you want something unique. -

Laura Sent on 10/14/2019Flawless film & photo. Gives you all the feels.
Where to even begin? If we could give more than 5 stars we would. The amazing partnership of Grace and Ben that makes up Novae Film and Photo is absolutely top notch. During our wedding planning, we went back and forth trying to decide if we could afford video into our budget. After talking and working with Grace, it was a no brainer. And after watching a bunch of stranger’s videos on their website that they had already done and bawling our eyes out, we knew there was no body else we wanted to do so. From the beginning, they were extremely thorough and reliable. They always responded to my countless emails in the most pleasant ways. We started with engagement photos. We had never had professional photos done before but that was no issue with them. They made us feel extremely comfortable and guided us the entire time. Our engagement photos were SO BEAUTIFUL and got us so much more excited for our big day. Leading up to our wedding, Grace made sure we were on the same page with everything so that I (the bride) did not have to stress at all. There were some special moments I wanted captured and they made it top priority. On the day of the wedding, Grace, Ben, and their assistant they brought were WONDERFUL. And let me just tell you, the final products blew our minds. When I watch our wedding highlight video I still cannot believe its us! The quality of the film & photos are unreal. The song choice, the audio clips, the intimate moments, ALL OF IT was documented so perfectly in the film. I get the feels all over again watching it. Friends, family, and so many others have reached out to tell us how emotional it made them feel. The video truly did exceed our expectations. Also, when it comes to the photos they truly got it all. The colors and quality of the photos are absolutely stunning. Its almost impossible to pick our favorites to hang on our walls because there are just TOO MANY that are perfection.
All in all, if you’re looking for a business that can do both film & photo FLAWLESSLY then look no further. SERIOUSLY. Grace and Ben are beautiful souls who will work their butts off for you and deliver the highest quality you could ever ask for. We love them and would choose them over and over again.Novae Film and Photo's reply:
