Ancient Eye Media

Nestled in the heart of Philadelphia, Ancient Eye Media is a creative force passionate about capturing the essence of love stories in their rawest and most authentic form. Founded by John Tucci, a filmmaker deeply influenced by the works of cinematic greats like John Hughes, Sofia Coppola, and Cameron Crowe, the company was born from a desire to translate that same magic of storytelling onto real-life events.

John's early career saw him honing his craft through producing music videos, trailers, and web advertisements, but he yearned for a platform where he could truly express his artistry. It was through wedding films that he found his calling.

Our Vision: A Timeless Tapestry of Love

At Ancient Eye Media, we believe weddings are more than just celebrations; they are the beginning chapters of a shared journey, a tapestry woven with love, joy, laughter, and perhaps even a few tears. We strive to create wedding films that transcend the typical highlights reel and delve into the heart of what makes each couple's story unique.

Our documentaries are meticulously crafted, blending candid moments with intimate interviews, weaving together a narrative that honors the couple's personalities, their love, and the heartfelt connections shared with their loved ones. We borrow inspiration from classic cinematic storytelling, interlacing vintage footage snippets into the documentary, creating a sense of nostalgia and echoing the timeless essence of love found in films like "Splendor in the Grass" and "Say Anything." Still, our approach is always modern and fresh, ensuring a film that reflects the couple's individual style and captures the spirit of their special day.

Beyond the Highlight Reel

Our commitment extends beyond just filming the events. We offer various packages to suit individual needs and budgets, ensuring that every couple has access to the style of wedding film they envision. We believe in providing couples with the full story of their wedding day, not just a curated glimpse. Every package includes a personal web address to host the documentary, granting the couple complete control and accessibility to their precious memories. Additionally, all packages include a copy of the raw footage, allowing for personalized editing and future creative exploration.
