Question 1

Do you film destination weddings?

Accepted Answer

My team and I absolutely love to explore new places and we'll go all over the world for your wedding! Travel fees vary depending on the distance from our home in Scottsdale, Arizona to your "I do,”. For destination weddings we require travel and board expenses to be covered in addition to your wedding package.

Question 2

How far in advance should we book you for our wedding?

Accepted Answer

Once you know your wedding date, we recommend reaching out as soon as possible about our availability. We film a limited number of weddings every year to ensure our couples receive the highest quality service, so our calendar typically fills up months sometimes years in advance.

Question 3

Do you have insurance?

Accepted Answer

Yes! We’re happy to send a copy of our certificate of liability insurance to your venue or any other vendors upon request.

Question 4

Can you still film our outdoor wedding if it rains on our wedding day?

Accepted Answer

Great question! Certainly! Our cameras our weather resistant and often times we come equip with rain-proofing gear if we know your wedding is susceptible to rain ahead of time.

Question 5

Who will edit our wedding video?

Accepted Answer

A lot of local wedding filmmakers outsource their wedding films outside of the U.S. This results in your wedding film being edited by somebody who knows little to nothing about you! Every single film by TS Cinema gets edited personally by me, meaning you’ll have a very personal film that isn’t going to be cookie-cutter like the competition.

Question 6

Can you do a same-day edit?

Accepted Answer

We’re happy to offer a same-day edit for an additional fee. After your ceremony, a dedicated editor will put together your same-day edit. We’ll make sure the final video is done in time for your reception.

Question 7

Can anyone else see our wedding video?

Accepted Answer

Of course! Once completed, your films will live on your own dedicated online wedding film gallery. A complimentary unique URL that functions similarly to a DVD or BluRay menu. You can share the link with all friends and family members. Your film will also go live on our social medias for you to share as well.

Question 8

How many videographers should we book for our wedding?

Accepted Answer

All of our wedding packages include at least two videographers. This helps us ensure that we won't miss a single important part of your big day.

Question 9

Do you mic the bride?

Accepted Answer

Micing the bride is a night and day difference when it comes to the listening quality of your films. You can have a great-looking film BUT bad audio can unfortunately, ruin the film. We approach your wedding day by having a conversation about micing the dress before your wedding day so you can know what to expect. It’s an easy and short process that won’t damage your dress or be uncomfortable.

Question 10

Do you like to meet the couple and get to know them beforehand?

Accepted Answer

Getting to know you is imperative for us to tell your story correctly. We want to know your likes, dislikes, and who the two of you are outside of your wedding day.

Question 11

What am I looking for?

Accepted Answer

I’m looking for couples who want to turn their wedding day into a cinematic journey to re-live and remember forever! But to do so, we need your help. I’m looking for amazing toasts, vows, and a ceremony where you preferably know the officiant (so him/her can tell great stories about you)

Question 12

Why should I book photo + video together?

Accepted Answer

Booking a combined photography and videography package ensures that you will be getting a consistent style throughout all of our products, which will save you time in the booking process. Both teams communicate and coordinate with each other in order to improve altogether workflow and positioning. You will also receive a discount on the total video package price.

Question 13

What is the highlight film?

Accepted Answer

The Highlight Film is an engaging cinematic journey of your wedding day! They have a runtime between four and six minutes. This length and format makes your Highlight Film perfect for sharing with family and friends on social media and to fit on DVD/Blu Ray formats. You can see all of our Highlight Films

Question 14

What are the reception and ceremony films?

Accepted Answer

The Ceremony and Reception Films are the way to relive your big day as if you were a guest in the audience. They play in real-time from start to finish, so you don't miss a single second. Experience your entire wedding ceremony play back through a new lens... pun intended. We recommend both!

Question 15

Do you have travel fees in Arizona?

Accepted Answer

We have no travel fees for weddings in central Arizona (Phoenix, Scottsdale, Gilbert, Mesa, Chandler). There is a small fee of $150 to travel to Northern or Southern Arizona.

Question 16

Why is drone footage worth it?

Accepted Answer

Let’s be honest, footage from the ground is great and all but when blended with gorgeous aerial views from the sky, it adds a unique/professional cinematic element that’s surely going to impress all of your friends and family when they see your film! We are FAA Part 107 certified to operate commercial aerial drones and equipment.

Question 17

What is the raw footage film?

Accepted Answer

Not every shot makes it into my edits, so if you want to soak up every last memory, going through the raw footage is a good way to do so. The Raw Footage package will come in a feature length film including footage not included in your films.

Question 18

Where can we schedule our engagement shoots?

Accepted Answer

We absolutely love to get creative with our engagement shoots! I’d love to chat with you to brainstorm a location that means a lot to the both of you. If booked with video, we love to aim for a location that relates back to who you are as a couple and your vows (Our engagement sessions can be booked within 50 miles of Scottsdale, Arizona. For elsewhere, we ask you cover the cost of a tank of gas.

Question 19

What's the difference between the "engagement video" and "engagement session?"

Accepted Answer

The Engagement Video Session’s purpose is so that we can include that footage in your Highlight Film. However, we offer a 1 minute Engagement Film just encompassing footage from the Session that’s perfect for sharing with your friends and family on social media, before, after or even during the Wedding! Hook up a projector to play the film for all of your guests to see!

Question 20

What is an Instagram highlight film/teaser?

Accepted Answer

The Instagram Highlight Films/Teasers are a fantastic way to give your audience a glimpse of your big day! Pieces from your Highlight Film are crafted into a 1-minute teaser specifically for the Instagram platform! Think of this like a Highlight Film of your Highlight Film! Browse through our Instagram page for examples! www.instagram.com/tsweddingcinema

Question 21

How long until we receive our films and photos?

Accepted Answer

Delivery can be expected to occur between eight (8) and sixteen (16) weeks after the wedding date. This allows us to spend the time necessary to edit the final projects in order to craft a unique experience that will last a lifetime. During busy wedding season, you can expect it to be closer to the 16 weeks. Photos are often delivered earlier than your films.

Question 22

How do we receive your films and photos?

Accepted Answer

You can expect to receive your films and or photos via a personalized online gallery. (Video Wedding Album, Photo Wedding Album) From there, you can purchase additional prints, albums, canvas’s and more!

Question 23

Can we choose the music?

Accepted Answer

Due to copyright laws unfortunately we aren’t able to provide requested songs to be used in your films. Instead, we’ve purchased a fantastic library of licensed music that we use to craft your film. We spend up to 5 hours listening to music that fits your relationship, wedding day, and tone.

Question 24

How can we book?

Accepted Answer

Reach out using the contact form! From there, I would love to schedule a zoom or facetime conversation and or an in-person consultation to get to know you both a little better! To officially book your date, I request a non-refundable retainer fee.

Question 25

What kind of cameras do you use?

Accepted Answer

I was shocked to find that some of the popular (and expensive) wedding filmmakers in Arizona are using outdated DSLR cameras. TS Cinema uses cinema camera’s that are Netflix-approved. Meaning that your film is going to actually LOOK and FEEL like a movie! Don’t settle for 5-10 year old cameras when you can have the latest and greatest.

Question 26

Information on livestreams

Accepted Answer

In this day and age, it can be more difficult than ever to have your entire family attend your wedding. But that doesn’t mean that others shouldn’t be able to see it like they were a member in the audience! We have multiple package options for single or multi-camera live streams!

Question 27

How do we approach your wedding day?

Accepted Answer

Let’s face it, weddings can be stressful. I AIM to alleviate that stress. Since 2014, I’ve had the opportunity to travel all over the nation, meet extraordinary couples, and really hone in on my craft. I take pride in offering a professional and a talented team that can blend into the background and allows you to enjoy your special day. That's a promise.
