Gooden Cinema is a collaboration between two passionate creatives who merged their unique expertise to tell compelling relationship stories through wedding filmmaking. Originally established as separate entities over sixteen years ago, Josh Gooden (he/him) and Serena Jae (she/her) each embarked on their individual journeys as cinematographers and photographic storytellers before coming together under one name, blending their shared vision of timeless, emotionally-driven wedding films.

With an eye for detail and a deep respect for authenticity, Gooden Cinema’s approach is centered on capturing the essence of each couple’s unique story. Their work goes beyond documenting a wedding celebration — it’s about preserving moments that reflect the diverse histories and journeys of each couple. Josh and Serena firmly believe that love is love. They find inspiration in filming weddings for clients from all walks of life and immersing themselves in the richness of different cultural traditions. Through cinematic artistry and thoughtful storytelling, Gooden Cinema creates films that encapsulate not only the celebration but also the emotions and connections that make each couple’s relationship truly special.
