Daniel Hennessey, owner at Avéline Films — OwnerDaniel Hennessey

At the heart of Avéline is our owner, Daniel Hennessey. Daniel is personally involved from the very beginning, and handles every inquiry. From the first conversation, he’ll get to know you, help you plan your day, and make sure your photo and video team understands what matters most to you. Before your wedding, Daniel personally selects the photographer and filmmaker who best fit your vision, style, and the way you want your story told.

Brighton Riley, social media marketing manager at Avéline Films — Social Media Marketing ManagerBrighton Riley

Brighton comes to Avéline from the bridal industry, where she met couples in the weeks just after the engagement. She knows the aesthetics couples arrive with and what they respond to. As our Social Media Marketing Manager, Brighton turns real weddings into the reels and short films you see long before you ever reach out, with one voice across all five of our markets.

We’re a small, intentional team of associates who are natives and experts in their own cities. That local connection matters. Our couples get a team that knows their city, understands the way weddings unfold there, and brings a genuine, down-to-earth presence to the day. That means when your team arrives, they already have a sense of who you are, what matters to you, and what moments you’ll want to remember. Your story comes first. We’re here to capture it honestly, naturally, and in a way that feels unmistakably yours.
