JT Penderville
Owner / Videographer / Editor
Hey, hi, hello! My name is JT and I’m a Pittsburgh, PA native, videographer, drummer, beard grower, cat-dad, and casual outdoorsman.
After receiving my B.S. in Digital Media Production and working at Carnegie Mellon University as an A/V Manager, I started my own video production business, Penderville Wedding Films. I live and breathe video and have been involved with video production for over half of my life!
Probably the most important aspect of finding a good wedding videographer (other than their work, of course) is finding out if we jive. I mean… we are with you ALL day. Much of our initial consultation is simply getting to know one another to ensure our personalities mesh.
I vibe the most with outgoing couples who really value having their wedding captured in a fun and unique way. I specialize in narrative-driven films with interesting and not-so-on-the-nose music incorporated throughout.
Filmmaking has been a passion (some might even call it an obsession 😅) of mine for what feels like my entire life. Being able to combine my passion and the joy of a wedding day truly makes me feel like I have the best job in the world.
When I’m not behind the camera, you can find me cuddling up with my rescue cat and office manager— Abby— playing video games, watching Netflix, riding ATVs in the woods, kayaking, or wearing medieval armor and playing the drums on stage with my Dungeons and Dragons themed heavy metal band.
Oh, and I talk too much. So enough about me — tell me about your story!

Buddy Hoebler
Lead/Assistant Videographer
Buddy and JT met 10+ years ago in the Pittsburgh music scene. Both being musicians, they had a lot to talk about. Eventually, Buddy joined the same metal band JT was in, and the rest is history!
Having someone like Buddy on the videography team has been amazing, as he truly has an eye for capturing a wedding day!
