Jon Noeth

Founded Noeth Films in 2012

Jon founded Noeth Films in 2012 and has been the heart of every film since. As our primary lead videographer, he has a natural eye for composition — moving through your day quietly, anticipating moments before they happen, and capturing them with intention. His editing style is guided by emotional impact, producing films that feel authentic to who you are and how your day actually felt.

With Noeth Films since 2024 · 5 years cinematography · 11 years editing

Chase brings a rare creative depth to his work — shaped by 11 years of editing and a background that started in front of the camera. After six years as an actor, he turned his focus to the other side of the lens, developing a deep instinct for how a story is constructed and what makes an image resonate. His love for art, film, and photography comes through in every frame he captures.

Dan has been a professional photographer and videographer since 2008 — and his passion for the craft goes back even further, to childhood stop-motion projects. He studied fine art at Flagler College and spent three years in the darkroom. He has an exceptional ability to anticipate emotional moments and stay ready for the spontaneity that makes weddings what they are. Dan is also a musician, a surfer, and — notably — an accomplished hula hooper.

Why Noeth Films

What you can expect
working with us

We're pretty laid back — and we want you to feel that way too. From your first message to final delivery, here's what working with Noeth Films actually looks like.

01

A Calm Presence

We move quietly and blend in. Your day isn't a production — it's your wedding. We're there to capture it, not direct it.

02

Authentic Moments

We take a photojournalistic approach — candid, real, and unposed. No staged shots, no interrupting the flow. Just your day as it actually unfolds.

03

In-House Editing

Every film is edited by the same person who filmed your day. No outsourcing, no handoffs — just personal investment from start to finish.

04

Consistent Communication

Quick responses, clear answers, no radio silence. You'll always know where things stand — from booking through delivery.

05

Timeless Quality

We focus on films that hold up — cinematic, beautifully composed, and rooted in real emotion. Not trend-driven. Something you'll still love in 20 years.

06

Built Around You

Flexible coverage times, customized packages, payment plans, local vendor recommendations — we work around what matters most to you.

We get to know our couples before the big day — so your personalities and unique relationship live in every frame, not just the moments between them.

I have watched our video so many times and it brings tears to my eyes still to see the love amongst our family and friends sharing in our special day together.
