Mars and the Moon Films

day! So many wedding films we've seen are cheesy and dare I say, cringe, so we searched high and low to find someone who would capture our day authentically. Bonnie and Jon did that and more, turning our wedding weekend into a beautiful, genuinely funny, soulful film we can rewatch forever. They care deeply about their work, and put a ton of effort into getting to know the couples they work with. They are professionals, and, a total blast to be around. Do not hesitate. Book them immediately!!!

uring a couple’s wedding we were over the moon (pun intended) excited to see how they would tell our story. Not only did they deliver on amazing quality and story-telling, but Bonnie and Jon were the sweetest and most easy going to work with. Our day never felt interrupted or intruded on. Having had the chance to get to know them through wedding planning and our engagement shoot, it was truly just like they were part of all our family and friends. Once we watched our wedding video, we kept re-watching it, amazed at how we could never verbalize what we specifically wanted, but they entirely delivered. It has been nearly a year since our wedding and we can’t stop looking at our photos and rewatching our videos. You can be confident that the investment you are making is undoubtedly worth it.

Jon for our wedding. Before any paperwork was signed or travel plans were made, we started with a web chat to discuss the style of photography they do, and assess whether it was a good fit with my fiancé and I as far as what we wanted for looks, style, and general tone of our pictures. We selected the photo-only package without videography, but if you decide to upgrade and add on the video package later, they can accommodate you if you notify them up to three weeks before the wedding, which is nice. If we could do it over again, we would definitely spring for the video package. Once we moved forward with the contract, MM Films sent us a detailed questionnaire to learn more about us, both as a couple, as well as about our family, venue, and wedding style. When I say they are organized and streamlined, I seriously mean it! The questionnaire had many inquiries, including requesting a by-name lineup of the bridal party/family, any "must have" poses we wanted, and they even kept track of any potential photo conflicts in the event that some family members may not want to be photographed together. They asked a lot of the logistical questions that a couple might forget to even think about when in the preparation stages, which was incredibly useful for our planning efforts. Communication was great, and any questions I had were answered promptly and thoroughly. Our rehearsal the night before was a bit chaotic and we were starting to get overwhelmed, but luckily Bonnie and Jon swooped in with some critical assistance regarding advice on bridal party positions, pacing, and photo ops for the ceremony. Bonnie and Jon also suggested if we were open to it, that we do our wedding party/family portraits just after our First Look, *before* the ceremony began. That would allow us to jump right into the reception after the "I do's" instead of losing an hour of celebration trying to round up the family/kids/etc for group photos. This was a brilliant idea, and allowed us to jump right in to visiting with our friends and family without missing our own cocktail hour. We are a big fan of candid photos, as well as high contrast and deeper saturation, and they definitely delivered! We got some choreographed/posed portraits of course, but MM Films truly nails the candid photos of the intimate moments, the tender hugs, and the misty eyes-- and are equally as great at capturing the bloopers, the laughter, and the silly moments too. Their photo style is very cinematic, with rich colors and beautiful depth. Whether it be the brightest of sunshine, golden hour, dusk, or total darkness, they will catch the moments and make them shine. We are so pleased with our decision to hire Mars and the Moon Films for the most important day of our lives. When the big day is over, the two main keepsakes you get to hang on to from the wedding day (other than your spouse, of course!) are the dress and the photos-- it's important to choose wisely! Bonnie and Jon are a very wise choice.

l at ease during a process that was less-than-so. We are amazed by how the photos turned out and can't stop going through them. We're excited that we are having this boat photo professionally framed, as it's so unique and stunning and just DOPE! There aren't enough words to express our gratitude, thanks for making our photo dreams come true!

ing aboard our wedding journey over the past year. We feel very lucky and privileged that you lent your talents to capture our very special day / weekend / time in our life. Y'all are truly incredible - we will cherish what you created for us for a lifetime!

and I knew we would like our video based on the prior videos we saw online, but I was happier with the outcome than I could have expected. It is perfectly “us” and captures everything we could have asked for and more. I love the style and creativity, the music is perfect, and it is definitely tailored to our personalities. Plus the film made us, our family, and even our friends laugh and cry and smile. And, we enjoyed working with them from pre-booking to post-wedding. Bonnie was patient, professional, and *fun* to work and chat with. There was a perfect balance of professionalism but also quirky fun that we enjoyed right from the start. She answered *lots* of questions from me and asked all the right questions of us - I think this was essential to be able to tailor our video to our unique personalities with her awesome style and touch. Even though our wedding was in Florida, and Bonnie is now out of New England, Bonnie was available, responsive, and always on top of things. Plus, Jamie and the Mars and Moon on-site filming team were amazing. They were professional but fun; we could tell that they were happy to be there. They made things like getting mic’d up and extra shots seamless and easy. They got all the right shots, made us feel comfortable (so important!), and never got in the way. I could go on-and-on: every aspect of our experience with Mars and the Moon Films was amazing. You can tell Bonnie has lots of experience and is an absolute pro and goes above and beyond. 100% recommend! Thank you!

ot to book her!

to earth. We immediately felt super comfortable with them during our first initial meeting via zoom and knew we had to booked them. The day of the wedding they arrived on time and made everyone feel super comfortable. They kept us on schedule, gave us ideas on how to pose and the pictures are out of this world amazing. The videos are better than Hollywood movies and they know exactly how to edit them to ensure no special moment is missed, and they know exactly what music to include so that it goes perfect with the event. They will forever be our to go photographer and videographer for any special events. They are highly recommended, you will not be disappointed.

ere hanging out. Most importantly on our wedding day, they made sure to capture all the wonderful moments, big and small. The greatest thing we did was make them our photographer/videographer! They made their way around everywhere, basically ninjas! They made the moments being captured, feel so natural. They truly are the best in the whole galaxy! Although the reason we would over and over again recommend them, is because our wedding day it’s self was everything we wanted, but there was a ton of disappointment with other vendors. The detailed points of our wedding such as our reception, cake cutting, dancing, DJ, amongst many other factors, made us feel as if our day wasn’t as we had always imagined it to be. Bonnie and Jon though, just wow. Here’s the thing, our sneak peek we got…it was stunning, made it seem as if our day truly was a fairytale with no issues. All the special moments caught with our friends and family were captured effortlessly. They truly make magic with their lens. Every time I watch our sneak preview video, I ball my eyes out, tears of joy of course! We can’t even begin to imagine what the finished products will look like. We just know it’s going to be absolutely amazing reliving our wedding day all over again. Best investment of our lives! Please do yourself a favor and book them! You will not be disappointed! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts Bonnie and Jon!!!

what they do, and for people like us that are not used to being in front of a camera, they made us feel so comfortable and confident. We were truly able to be ourselves around them, and they became more like friends. To this day, my friends are still complimenting how wonderful our photographer and videographer were (are)! We loved that Bonnie & Jon did both of our photography and videography. They work so well together and really feed off of each other's positive, fun, quirky energies. We can't thank them enough for capturing all of the special moments from our wedding day.

fun to work with. When I was looking for a videographer, as soon as I came across their portfolio/website I knew they were the right fit and I was not wrong. They highlighted all of the amazing parts of our day and I’m so grateful to have a piece of their work. What they do is truly artwork … like common they bring a drone !!!! Worth every penny and you’ll definitely make a new friend in the process.

h. We just got our wedding film back and can’t stop watching. I’ve never seen a video that so clearly captured our essence and personalities! The film was beyond creative and just looked so cool - not like the standard wedding film. All of our friends and family were so impressed! Having a beautifully made video of our favorite day to rewatch and cherish forever is truly priceless and we would hire Mars and the Moon a million times over.

ic photoshoot to share with friends and family. I put full trust into both of them to run with their creativity and they captured our personality and vibe of the video we were hoping for. I cannot recommend them enough.

ther. I think they have that special ability to understand the couple and give them exactly what they are looking for. Not everyone can capture & create what they did. Thank you Bonnie & Jon!

hey weren’t invasive. We don’t love taking pictures and they made it easy and enjoyable. We highly recommend for wedding photography/videography!!

on them to do it for you!! They believe in love in all shapes, colors and forms! Who doesn’t love a vendor like that?! You’d be surprised on how much they capture during your big day! We sure as heck were! They definitely created some tear jerking, nose running photo/video masterpieces with our wedding!! We couldn’t be more satisfied and more happier with the beauty of their craft! They really worked with us and for that, we will forever be grateful! We seriously don’t regret booking them not one bit! We love truly them, and have already planned for them to photograph and film our vow renewal in the future!! -Tija and Jada 💕

aphers without much luck. Then along came Bonnie. After browsing her work, we knew we'd found the perfect person to capture our special day and she definitely exceeded our expectations! We were one of the many weddings that were postponed due to the pandemic. We pushed our wedding back twice and finally landed on a date almost a year after our original wedding was planned. Bonnie was very accommodating and worked with us throughout the year to make sure that we didn't miss a beat. Come wedding day, Bonnie arrived and it was almost like seeing an old friend again. We immediately clicked and it honestly just felt like she was one of the gang hanging out with the bridal party. The day and night went by and we never had to worry about what was being filmed because Bonnie captured everything without us even knowing. The video that we got in return left us speechless. You'd think we had hired an entire production team! Bonnie didn't just capture our wedding day, she captured the story of us and for that we are forever grateful. It's one thing to be a great videographer but it's another thing to be a great storyteller and Bonnie is the perfect mix of both. We can't say enough good things about Bonnie and highly recommend her for anyone getting ready to tie the knot!

onestly it was Bonnie the whole time. She made me feel at ease despite the delays and issues that came up and just made it all seem like no big deal. It has to be her super power. Her presence got me through those rough moments when other vendors stressed me out and I’m so very grateful for her!! As if that isn’t enough to book her then know that she has such a unique perspective on wedding videos and an eye for detail most others cannot see. Her talent is out of this world! Our wedding videos are the absolute best way to relive the day because it truly goes by so fast and so many sweet moments happened when my husband and I were elsewhere. They captured all those moments and more that we will cherish forever. Thank you so very much, team BonJon! We love you! - the Petricks

of the day, no hesitations what so ever. She made the whole process SO easy and STRESSFREE!!! The last couple weeks leading up to the BIG Day, she made sure to check in and would just randomly check in to see how you were doing or to small talk (it was SO NICE). Never ever will you see her get worked up. Calm and cool is exactly how she was throughout the entire process. The big day was beyond fun with her, she was amazing to work with and if I had to go back and do it again, I wouldn't change a thing. She is very upfront and honest, which meant alot. The video came out so fantastic, that I am looking at booking her for my photos from here on out (family, parties, etc). Don't even read the reviews, JUST BOOK HER ALREADY!- YOU'RE IN GOOD HANDS! If you don't book her, you're missing out. Thanks again Bonnie for everything, we love you!

ie and Jon in person before our wedding, however, they were so accommodating and had several phone calls with us to make sure we understood their services. Like many others, COVID changed our wedding plans and our wedding went from 150 guests to just 16. It was important that our day still felt just as special as we had been planning it for the last year and part of that was still having Bonnie and Jon document the day. BOY DID THEY DELIVER! Not only did they set up a live stream for our guests but somehow they made the photos and videos feel like this was a full-sized wedding!! We received all of our photos and videos on time (in fact, even earlier than planned) and we are in love with each and every one of them. Bonnie and Jon truly felt like an extension of our celebration that day, so much so that they've even become friends of ours! I truly cannot recommend their services enough. If you want QUALITY video and photos from our special day, look no further!

on for an inclusive package, starting with our engagement photos. They were helpful , proactively researched our location for our engagement photo shoot and were truly genuine in having our best interest at the top of their mind. On our wedding day they were punctual, flexible and able to share a glimpse of their product via a sneak peek film within days of our big day! My wife and I have not stopped watching the sneak peek , our family and friends have enjoyed the video immensely as well. Looked like a real life movie trailer! We’re anxious to see the final results , and we’d happily recommend them to any couple looking to capture their wedding day. They’re true down to earth people and were lucky to have found them!

s so creative in capturing all of the special moments throughout the day. She is very proactive and ahead of the game - even for items not related to videography! She helped with my dress and many other little things throughout the day. The week of our wedding we had to go from 100+ guests to 7 and she set up a live stream so that our friends and family could still be there with us on our big day. It meant so much to us to be able to share that moment with everyone, and it was so fun to see all the comment guests shared among each other. The guests still talk about how amazing it was to see and how they loved talked to each other via chat. Her work was so amazing we kept adding on additional cuts and will cherish the videos forever! You'd be crazy to go with anyone else. From price to professionalism to final films she can't be beat!

My husband and I had the pleasure of getting married during the Coronavirus pandemic. I know that may sound sarcastic, but it truly was a pleasure, and Bonnie and Jon played a huge role in that. From the start, they were so understanding and accommodating of our position. They hopped on a call, set up a video meeting, got to know us and our needs, and put together a custom package for us that checked off all the boxes. When these two arrived as we were getting ready on the big day, their warmth and creativity were immediately apparent. The energy that they have is exactly what any bride and groom would want around them on such a special day. They went above and beyond, bringing the cutest clear umbrellas for us to use, and even running to CVS to buy eyelash glue for me when I cried one of my eyelashes off! We were able to livestream our wedding for all of our guests that could no longer attend, and Bonnie created a beautiful highlight video of our ceremony that we will be able to play at our postponed reception and cherish for years to come. I cannot recommend Bonnie & Jon enough.

o at least 10000 times. My friends and even distant relatives have said it made them cry. I don’t even understand how talent like this can exist but I am grateful from the bottom of my heart that we found them. They also just made our wedding day feel so fun and easy! I almost felt stressed that I wasn’t stressed enough! That is how awesome this team was. I knew from my first conversation with Bonnie that she was the right girl for the job and that she seemed like someone I would be friends with. You really can‘t put a price on memories like this. Thank you Bonnie & Jon you guys rock!

meline for the day and were honestly essential to not only helping make the day perfect, but letting us relive it for years. And the final product they delivered? Absolutely Flawless. They captured the essence of who we are as a couple through little moments and brought them to the center stage. They got to know our personalities and you can see it shine in the photos and videos and they were so easy to work with through the entire process. There aren't enough words to express how happy we are with our video and photos. From a low-key, go with the flow, I-just-wanna-throw-a-party kind of bride, trust me. Make the investment in these two. You won't regret it if you do, but you'll definitely regret it if you don't.

lse has. They were quick and organized which I couldn’t have been more grateful for. We didn’t want to miss a second of the party and both Bonnie and Jon took that into consideration before coming up with a photo/video game plan. The video Bonnie put together brought every single person who watched it to tears. These are moments we will cherish for a lifetime and we’re so grateful we were able to book Bonnie and Jon to document it. ❤️

st off, Bonnie and Jon are the most chill and friendly people ever. They don’t make you feel like they’re in your face. You can tell they genuinely LOVE doing their jobs and they know what they’re doing. It is their passion and it shows in the way they work together AND in the product they produce. The entire day they were so focused and involved in making sure that not only we were comfortable but in Making sure they got all of the right shots so that our wedding video was absolutely perfect. On top of all this, they had our “sneak preview” video complete in LESS THAN 24 HOURS! .... and it was the greatest sneak preview I’ve ever seen. And I’ve seen a lot of wedding videos. We have literally watched it over 100 times. My husband was hesitant about hiring a videographer when we first started planning our wedding and I basically put my foot down on that decision and assured him that he would be happy with the money spent and after he saw the way that Bonnie and Jon worked at the wedding and saw the sneak preview he straight up admitted to me that he was so happy I didn’t listen to him and hired a videographer anyway. Since the wedding I have recommended them to tons of couples getting married. It’s so great to not only know the vendor you’re working with is phenomenal at their jobs, but that they are also simply amazing people. Thank you Bon and Jon for capturing the most amazing moments of our day. Anthony, Little Ant and Myself love you guys!

g what's unique about the personality of each couple while giving it her own creative feel and polish. On the day of our wedding, Bonnie collaborated incredibly well with our photographer and planner; captured the essence of our locations well; and kept the energy up throughout (they even laughed at my jokes, which is so very kind). My wife and I were so fortunate to have Bonnie on our team. We hope the same for you.

rfect and something we will treasure forever. Would recommend her to anyone looking for picture/video for any special event!

her team. One of our main rules in our selection process was that if their wedding videos didn’t make us cry than we didn’t go with them. We knew as soon as we got to Bonnie’s work that she was the one for us not only because we were sobbing! I mean, if watching someones wedding video that you do not even know makes you emotional than that’s one powerful video! That was our mindset. No, post wedding and looking back not only on our wedding which is so amazing but on the day of we are so impressed. She not only produces great work but she is great at day of direction as well. Alex and I both felt so comfortable with her and in front of the camera. She really captured our natural moments not only with each other but with our friends and family as well. For example, she captured my first look with my dad which was super special but what was even more special was the audio that went along with it. You could hear the emotion in my dad’s voice when he first saw me. I am crying just thinking about it again and it is so special to me that I have that caught on camera for forever. To summarize, my husband and I highly recommend Bonnie Newman and her team!

is amazing and she is such a fun person! When we got our wedding video we LOVED it. It made us cry, laugh, and cry some more. I would recommend her to anyone! The moments she captured of our wedding day were priceless.

and moved me so much that I booked her as soon as possible. It was one of the best decisions I made. The details and special moments she caught were so amazing. She blended it all into an beautiful highlight film that is perfect to share. She is a true artist and we will treasure being able to relive our special day over and over.

. After our first conversation I loved her and knew she was the person I wanted to work with. I am not a picture video person, but she literally made the process so easy. All I can say is thank God I found her, she not only created the best wedding videos for us, but she made the experience just as enjoyable. We have gotten so many compliments from our family and friends with her work and we are beyond blessed that we got to work with her. I highly recommend Bonnie and her team, again our videos are just breathtaking!

wedding day, which shows she truly cares about her job and clients. With her proactive approach, she's able to understand our wants and needs before the wedding day. Obviously, that is important since a wedding day is chaos for a bride and groom. Not only are they professional to deal with, but they also have some of the best videos I've seen. Their prices could be double what they are now and it'd still be a bargain. I highly recommend them!

use you have found THE ONE! After looking at Bonnie's work, I just knew I found my wedding videographer. After my mom and I met Bonnie for coffee, I knew my intuition was correct. Bonnie was extremely responsive throughout the entire process. Planning a wedding can be stressful, and having someone who makes you feel comfortable, is important. Bonnie does just that. Now for the BIG DAY, both Bonnie and Jon, were AWESOME! I can't say enough good things. She came prepared with a plan and helpful suggestions. I received so many compliments following the wedding about how wonderful our sneak peak video was (which we received only several days after the wedding!) I literally had no words when the entire highlight film and raw footage arrived in my mailbox with a cute card, tissues, and wine. Bonnie captured our wedding day perfectly, giving me all the feels. This video is something I will cherish forever, and can't thank Bonnie enough for how great they all turned out. THANK YOU!

ime meeting with her because she asked so many questions to get to know the two of us individually and as a couple. This information made her ability to make our wedding video the most amazing EVER!!!! She captured our wedding day perfectly and I could have not asked for a better wedding video!!!!

ent, amazing to work with, and HIGHLY recommend to anyone looking for a videographer. Thank you Bonnie for giving my husband and I the most beautiful wedding video that we will cherish forever.

keepsake forever! With everything Bonnie does you can tell she gives 110%! She was so lively, kind and definitely took the time to get to know us and to listen to what was important to us! I probably talked to 8-10 videographers before our wedding and I would choose Bonnie over and over again! Every detail is perfect and it was an honor to have her on our wedding day! You won’t be disappointed with her work!

en blessed with her on our team. We knew immediately that the three of us would fit perfectly together. I made my husband watch 15 videos (which I narrowed down from like 100 honestly), a couple of which were the same vendor with multiple videos. Both times he picked Bonnie's, and even watched one of them more than once, half crying and saying 'I DON'T EVEN KNOW THESE PEOPLE'. Bonnie has a style all her own, and is growing and developing it every day. As a person, she's a perfect angel. Incredibly responsive, super encouraging, everything you could ask for. And on wedding day, she made us feel like rockstars, constantly inspiring us to be genuine in front of the cameras. She worked alongside our photographer team (The Porto's). Honestly, sometimes it felt like the cameras weren't even there because both of them worked with us so effortlessly. Bonnie recently sent us a teaser (damn you!), and I lose it every time I watch it. Everyone who has seen it has been S H O C K E D by the quality and magic of it. So here's the takeaway... DEFINITELY hire a videographer, because you'll be so glad you did and you won't regret it. Unless you book anyone other than Bonnie. ;)

th and has a nice upbeat personality. She captured every moment and composed it like a blockbuster movie!! I would recommended her to anyone, she is well worth the money and puts the care into every little detail. Thank you again Bonnie for your great footage that we will have for a lifetime!

nticipation. If you’re contemplating hiring someone to capture your special day don’t hesitate!! You’ll be glad you did!

tire process and really laid back during the whole wedding day. I never felt the least bit stressed on our day knowing I could trust Bonnie to get all of the important moments on film. She truly is an artist! Not one person in my family has watched our video without crying. It's one of my new favorite things, it took us back to our incredible day and now we can relive it whenever we want to. It took about 4 months to get the video back, but it was truly worth every minute of waiting and every penny spent. Bonnie Newman Creative is incredible! Hire her! You will not be disappointed!

year before our wedding and watching all of her work leading up to our big day just made me realize just how talented she is. Every video is unique to the couple she works with and our sneak peek alone gave me goosebumps and brought tears to my eyes. Do yourself a favor and work with Bonnie and she will capture your special day to perfection. Having a videographer is one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day. Thank you Bonnie!!! You are fabulous!

it. No one I liked was anywhere near my budget. I was fortunate enough to hire Bonnie early, right as she was starting her business and that was the best choice I could have made. I got her for a steal and she was my favorite vendor to work with! Then I met Bonnie, she was so down to earth and real. And she really had a passion for her work, it was obvious she was doing something she loved. In the first few minutes I met her I knew I had made the right decision hiring Bonnie. Bonnie was also very communicative and went above and beyond on several occasions. She made me feel so special even before the wedding happened, like my husband and I mattered, we weren't just another wedding. When it came to our wedding day I was so excited to work with Bonnie. She was great to work with. She was accommodating, pleasant, fun, and worked so well with everyone else. She made sure I was well informed the day before so I never had any questions. And she wasn't afraid to stand up to other vendors to make sure it was done how she wanted. I was more excited to see my video than my pictures and she did not disappoint. Our preview video had us in tears right before we left for our honeymoon, as well as our family and friends. The full video was absolutely perfect. She truly knows how to tell the story and make you feel the emotion as if you are there. Our wedding was amazing and all of our vendors were pretty darn awesome. But if I did it over and could only choose one of my vendors it would be Bonnie! We have watched our video so many times and we will continue to watch it for years! I truly cannot recommend her enough. If you are considering a videographer but not sure if you have the budget, just hire Bonnie. You will not be disappointed.

have from that day. It was like she went into our minds, picked out our favorite moments throughout our wedding day, and made this amazingly beautiful video. Every time I watch our video, which has been about 15 times since she sent it to me last night, I feel like I go right back to that day. The music, emotions, areal shots, ring shots, ceremony shots and reception shots were nothing but perfect. I highly recommend anyone thinking about getting video done at your wedding to just spring for it and get it done and not just by anyone. Bonnie is your girl! I can’t thank her enough!
