Cinema Roll Films captured our wedding day perfectly! My husband and I spent a few months looking for a videographer because we wanted to make sure we found someone who cared about the little details as much as we did — Austin and his team were a perfect match for us! Shoutout to Marc for continuously fixing my tie and making sure I looked great!
2 days after the wedding, Austin had sent us our teaser video. We couldn’t believe how quick the turnaround was especially because the quality was amazing. We couldn’t wait to see more after seeing the 1 minute trailer!
We just received our video package back and loved watching back the full length video. Austin and his team captured the tone we were looking for, which was a mix between cinematic and high energy. The team also provided us with the full recordings of the ceremony, reception, speeches, etc. I love that we can always come back to these videos whenever we want to turn back time and reminisce.
Booking Cinema Roll Films was one of the best decisions we could have made. If you have been spending way too much time looking for a videographer, stop searching and give Cinema Roll Films a call! -

HIGHLY recommend Austin + Team!
My husband and I are absolutely thrilled with our Wedding footage - it's so clean, crisp, and we've rewatched it 34982340 times already and are obsessed with the quality! Austin + team were such great videographers, we had an amazing experience with them. Austin went above and beyond for Geoffrey and I and he truly cares about his work and the relationships with his clients.
THANK YOU AUSTIN! -

Austin and Amanda transformed our wedding day into a storybook wedding! They were incredibly communicative and helpful so they were able to capture those tender moments that we will cherish for a lifetime. Our family, friends and our city was buzzing at the beautiful video and pictures that Austin and Amanda were able to produce for us. We are forever grateful for making us look timeless. Thank you both so much from the bottom of our hearts! -

TL;DR: Don't wait. Hire Austin & Amanda RIGHT NOW. We reached out to Cinema Roll videography about a month before our wedding for a quote. Austin responded very quickly, and it was clear that he had read my responses & was ready to get moving! When choosing vendors for our wedding, I really wanted to make sure we'd have a great output (video in this case) and also that we'd have fun working together. After watching samples on the Cinema Roll website & speaking to Austin, it was so clear that we were the right match! Leading up to wedding day, Austin and I had great conversations -- mostly about dogs -- and I felt very confident that we were on the same page. The week of the wedding Cinema Roll even sent a box in the mail full of all sorts of goodies, even dog treats! It was SO thoughtful and really kicked off wedding week in a special way. 4 days ahead of the wedding we had an all-vendors call where Austin was very prepared, and also asked very thoughtful questions. I can't stress enough that I never felt stressed about our video. On wedding day Austin & Amanda just took care of business. They were where they said they'd be, always available for any questions, working with everyone to get what they needed. They even used my phone to set up a live-stream, as many of our guests couldn't travel because of the pandemic. All of this pales in comparison to the actual products we were sent. WOW. The teaser!!! It was in my inbox 3 hours after the wedding, and the rest were only a few days later. Such a fast turnaround, which was so nice because all the people who live-streamed into the ceremony could see what the rest of the day looked like! All of the videos are absolutely stunning, and I am SO THANKFUL that when all of the memories of other wedding-day stresses fade, I can watch these videos and think of how wonderful it was. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! -

We truly can't say enough wonderful things about Austin of Cinema-Roll Films. He is talented, passionate, focused, hard working, and pays attention to details. And of all the things, he is a genuinely nice person and goes above and beyond which is what you need on your special day.
My fiancé and I had to postpone our wedding earlier this year due to covid. With our change in plans we decided to get married at my now husband's childhood home. I found Cinema Roll Films and immediately admired their story-telling films and quality of work. Because of our new plans with having a smaller intimate wedding ceremony with our immediate family, I wanted to make sure we captured our day since we no longer could have our bigger wedding due to the pandemic. Austin immediately responded when I reached out and answered all of my questions. Even when I had to postpone again, he was very supportive and once we had our new final date in mind I just knew that I wanted Austin to be there with us and was so happy he was available for our new wedding date.
From the very beginning, Austin spent his time learning about us as well as providing thorough details and options. We spoke on the phone before our wedding day and I was genuinely so excited that he would be there with us on our special day.
Austin was incredibly professional and jumped right in the minute he arrived. As soon as I met him, I knew we were in good hands. He even helped me set up our zoom with audio for our virtual wedding which was such a huge relief since so many people weren't able to be with us in person. Everything with Austin was seamless! Throughout our wedding day Austin became part of our family and it's not every day that you get so lucky to meet hardworking talent who want to go above and beyond to make your day even more special.
And that's not even the best part yet. The videos. Absolutely stunning, beautiful and incredible! Austin is a visionary. He took my hopes, dreams and vision of our wedding day and translated it into the most beautiful films that we will now have with us forever. He took our once-in-a-limetime moment and allowed us to relive the best day of our lives. His vision, editing and story-telling talent literally brought us and our family to tears.
If I were your best friend, here is my advice. If you're on the fence about having a videographer, do not hesitate – it's 100% worth it. You will absolutely not regret it and I highly recommend Cinema-Roll Films. After having to postpone our wedding in a pandemic, a hurricane the week of and no power for three straight days just 24 hours before our wedding, you really appreciate the moments that will bring you joy and remind you that you deserve to have your day and to be in the moment. There is no question, hire a videographer – hire Cinema-Rolls.
We are forever grateful to Austin for capturing all the moments and details of our day and for creating the most beautiful films that we will cherish forever. -

Brandon Sent on 03/22/2020Just Genuinely Good Peoples and Highly Skilled
My fiance and I spent a gorgeous, chilly day in brooklyn with Austin and Amanda for our engagement photo shoot. They are refreshingly genuine people who LIVE to capture love in pictures and on video and most certainly have the eye for it. They directed us for the shoot and their direction was intentional and purposeful yet subtle and not overbearing. They picked the best locations and had some really great prompts, and because of their skill and genuine interest, they were able to capture the natural us. They get to know you without being intrusive, they give you direction without discomfort (especially good for people like us who just don't do photo shoots often...or at all), they have a vision and they execute. Just all around a perfect touch. -

We loved spending the day with Austin and Amanda for our beautiful engagement shoot in NYC! Austin is an amazing videographer who gives wonderful direction - which was important for someone like me who never knows what to do in front of the camera. They took my fiance and I to the most beautiful places, allowed us to wardrobe change, and were super quick with producing the pictures and video.
For weddings and engagement shoots, every moment is a special one - we appreciated the way Austin & Amanda made us feel like it was just as special for them as it was to us.

Jaryl Sent on 01/10/2020Professional and Highly-Skilled Videographer for NYC Proposal
Austin from CinemaRoll Films was hired by my wedding planner for my proposal in NYC. He arrived at the venue earlier than scheduled which was great because it gave us time to discuss the details of how the video will be shot, how I will be mic-ed up, etc. Austin was very well-prepared and had all of the required video and microphone equipment for the proposal, so I did not even have to lift a finger. Although it was our first-time being filmed, Austin put us at ease and gave us directions during the post-proposal so that we can get more couple shoots to be incorporated into the video. Austin was also very receptive of the inputs that I had post-proposal, including the music track that I really wanted to include as it was sung by her favourite artist.
Shortly after the proposal, Austin forwarded us a 57-second highlight reel which was perfect for social media, and he subsequently followed up with the final, incredibly breathtaking 2-minute video that perfectly captured our proposal, as well as the raw 3-minute proposal footage for keep's sake. The final cut included not only shots from the proposal but also scenic views of NYC. All of these were perfect gifts that we will certainly treasure for the years to come.
I would highly recommend Austin and his team for anyone who wishes to engage a professional and highly-skilled videographer for their event! -

Kristen Sent on 11/30/2019The best quality memories for the best day of our lives
I cannot stress enough how perfect our elopement video came out thanks to Austin. Him and his wife Amanda (twenty two ivy photo) made my husband and I feel so comfortable as if we’ve known each other for years. It really shows in the final product, and is the perfect summation of our perfect day. The video and audio quality was EXCELLENT. Our friends and family say it looks like a movie! Please don’t hesitate to book these two for your big day. You won’t be disappointed! -

Laura Sent on 10/03/2019Art and Story-Telling rolled into one through Dynamic Video!
Austin is not just a videographer. His work is truly one of an artist. His skill level and his ability to perceive situations, people, and locations to create a visually memorable and quality video just can't be taught.
When my husband and I got engaged a year ago, Austin was the first person I thought of when it came to capturing our wedding day. I had seen his work a few years back and always felt his style resonated with us, and who we are as a couple. Being that Austin actually knows my now husband, when I suggested him, he was all for it! Mixing business with friends can sometimes be a bad idea, but Austin is extremely professional and treated us like he would any other client, as well as we treated him with the respect we'd treat another business. Match made in heaven and our teaser video is proof of it!
From the very start, Austin was very professional. We went over packages, looked over and signed contracts, and discussed expectations...ours and his. He was always upfront, honest and was true to his word. Anything he said he'd do along the way, he fulfilled. If I had any questions, which I had many because I'm OCD and overly organized, he'd text me back right away. He would always answer everything thoroughly and made me feel at ease.
Although I knew Austins personality and vibe was in line with what we wanted our end product to be, he still allowed us to send over ideas or things that we may want to incorporate so that we were truly happy. Not only did he make himself available through the phone, he was also willing to come to the venue prior to scope out the area. Unfortunately, even thought we tried 6 or 7 times, it rained every time we tried to go! Yet, that didn't hinder him or his crew the day of. Our photos (we also used his wife, Amanda) and our teaser give great insight into the location as if they had been there prior.
Right before the wedding, Austin sends out a very thorough questionnaire, which I was happy to fill out because Im nuts and love taking surveys, but It also meant that he truly wants to make his clients happy and give them ample opportunity to tell him what they'd like. What's better is he made sure to use it and follow it the day of so what you fill out isn't falling on deaf ears.
The day of was just as easy as the whole year had been. Him and his team, as well as Amanda and hers, were there early and ready to work. They came in , said hello to me, made sure I was felling good, gave me a sweet pep talk an then were in their zones. As I said in Amanda's review, the best part was not really knowing they were there. They blended in and just captured the day in the manner it was unfolding. It wasn't staged. It wasn't propped. It was organic in nature and I already know they killed it by some of the sample photos/videos I've received. The best part was that because everyone was so calm and chill, it really made for a fun and easy day. It felt like having close friends (even though they really are friends) among us. All my bridal party commented on how fun and energetic Austin and his team were and how they felt comfortable the whole day. From start to finish, Austin was there, even staying longer than usual to make sure he got every shot.
Angel and I are so unbelievably grateful to have shared our day with you, and you with us. Thank you guys so much!
Bottom Line: Book Cinema-Rolls. You won't be disappointed. -

Vicki Sent on 06/12/201910/10 HIGHLY recommend!
Working with Austin and Amanda was an awesome experience - they are an incredible team! They are extremely responsive to emails, and overall just great people. They send you a detailed survey to complete prior to the wedding day, so you really have an opportunity to detail any request you may have. On wedding day, they had such great energy! They were so easy to work with, and we got along so well it felt like they were just part of the bridal party. During the wedding festivities they had a great ability of not being intrusive, but still capturing every special moment. Right after the wedding, I had reached out with a specific request on something to be excluded from our videos, and Austin was extremely diligent and receptive. He went the extra mile to make sure the final product was exactly what my husband and I wanted, and we are so appreciative of that. The turnaround for the teaser and highlight video was really quick as well! Their videos are so well done, and exactly what we wanted. As someone who was on the fence about having a videographer, I HIGHLY recommend Austin & Amanda! I can't picture my wedding day without their work (and I'm SO glad I'll never have to)! -

Our photographers had recommended Cinema Roll Films and we instantly fell in love with their style and skills. My husband and I had the most positive experience from start to finish with Austin and Amanda. The day of our wedding they came on time with all their equipment ready to shoot. They had even scoped out our first look location earlier in day. Throughout the wedding they captured all the special moments- which we were able to relive just a couple weeks after! The sneak peak trailer and feature video were both beautiful- smooth transitions, great soundtrack, gorgeous lighting. You can tell they put so much time into making our videos just right. We are so thankful to have these keepsakes. -

We highly recommend using Cinema Roll videography!!! We booked Austin after debating whether or not we should have videography at our wedding - and we are SO GLAD we did! Photos are amazing but the videos make you feel like you are truly reliving every moment of your wedding. Austin captured every important detail and moment, when we saw our teaser and our final video we cried! My sister and brother-in-law used Cinema Roll for their wedding Philadelphia in 2015, and I remember being extremely impressed with their work ethic, professionalism, and the amazing final product - the music, the edits, everything perfect. As we expected from my sister's experience, Austin and his team are extremely professional, easy to work with, and exceeded our expectations in the amount of time they turned around our teaser video (4 days after the wedding) and the final video (1.5 months after the wedding). They were truly amazing to work with and we will be recommending them to anyone and everyone - especially considering the fact that Cinema Roll is based in Staten Island NY but are willing to travel! We got married in Philly and they had no hesitation to come - and we will be forever grateful!
