People + Environments
Hospitality
No formulas. No fixed look. The imagery is shaped around the subject, the setting and what the work needs to communicate.
THE PROCESS
A clear path from first conversation to final delivery.
Some clients come with a fully developed brief. Others simply know their current photography or film no longer reflects the business. Both are good places to start.
Commonwealth can help shape the project from the first conversation through production and final delivery, with the scope built around what the work actually needs.
You don’t need to have the whole production figured out.
Part of the job is helping determine what makes sense. That may be a focused one-day shoot, a combined photo and film production, or a broader library of assets created over time.
Content built to live across your website, social, advertising, PR and internal communications.
CONVERSATION
We start with what you need to communicate, who needs to see it, and where the work will live.
01
DIRECTION + SCOPE
We shape the visual approach, schedule, locations, crew, deliverables and level of production around the project.
02
PRODUCTION
Photography, film or both - with a crew scaled to fit the job rather than a fixed production model.
03
POST PRODUCTION
Editing, color, retouching, sound and finishing are handled with the same visual direction established from the start.
04
DELIVERY
Final assets are prepared for the places they will actually be used: web, social, advertising, PR and internal communications.
05
OUR FOUNDER
Director, cinematographer and photographer.
Aaron Wenck is a director, cinematographer and photographer with 15 years of experience creating commercial photography and film for brands, agencies and publications. His work spans beauty, healthcare, fashion, lifestyle and branded storytelling, with clients including Nike, Netflix, Disney, Kiehl’s, CeraVe, Novartis and Hilton.
From large-scale campaigns to intimate portrait and documentary work, Aaron brings the same emphasis on strong direction, thoughtful composition and imagery that feels polished without feeling overproduced.
Commonwealth Studios brings that experience to a focused, founder-led production model based in West Chester and working throughout Philadelphia, New York and beyond.
