Chelsie & Tori were absolutely amazing to work with. They were very communicative throughout the whole process. They showed up on time and gave us good directions. My wife & I don’...
t exactly feel comfortable in front of the camera, but they made it easy for us. We truly appreciate their professionalism and we were so happy to have them there on our special day. I would also like to mention that I don’t find many vendors that are inclusive unfortunately. They were definitely the most inclusive vendor we worked with and that is SO important for the LGBTQ community. I’ll always recommend Lumen Studios!
Working with Tori and Chelsie of The Lumen Studios was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. They went above and beyond to capture our day so perfectly. Working with t...
hem was so easy - they were so in tune with what we wanted (and needed) on our day, kept us relaxed and made sure everything was going according to plan. The people you surround yourself with on your wedding day make SUCH a huge difference, and having Tori and Chelsie there was like having really good friends who are also incredible videographers there. I can't say enough good things about them and their work.
Our final film was just delivered and it is STUNNING. I couldn't have imagined anything more perfect. They captured moments I would have forgotten and they captured the absolute joy of the day. All our friends and family and those special moments - I am still just in awe of what they delivered.
If you're on the fence about doing a wedding video, you absolutely should do it! Having seen our video now, I can't imagine not having it. I feel like it took us right back to all the most wonderful parts of the day. The day goes by so fast, so being able to re-live it was so great.
Additionally, working with an LGBTQIA+ team was important to us on our big day, as my wife and I wanted to feel as supported as possible. Chelsie and Tori were totally in our corner and made us feel so incredible.
I can not say enough good things about Chelsie and Tori! Chelsie made wedding planning so easy, she was understanding of our needs for the day, and always answering my a million qu...
estions. Tori and Chelsie made our wedding day truly amazing. They were the life of the party during pictures, always hyping us up! They give you all their attention on your wedding day, and go above and beyond to make sure your day is special. Tori even made sure I was staying hydrated!! If you are hesitant on hiring a videographer because it’s too expensive, think again. Our wedding day being captured by the Lumen’s was worth every single penny and some. They are amazing people, and they are kick ass videographers who made us the most amazing wedding film.
Wow wow wow!! If you're on the fence about hiring a videographer for you wedding, like we were, you're wrong. You need a wedding video and you need to hire Tori and Chelsie! Chelsi...
e was an absolute delight to work with through the booking and planning process, she made everything so easy! On wedding day, I was nervous about having cameras around all day, but these two captured the day as it naturally unfolded, no *acting* necessary! They are professional but also an absolute blast to hang out with! So far we have only received our teaser trailer and oh my goodness there are not enough words to describe how amazing it is! Their vibe perfectly aligned with what we were looking for and I cannot wait to see the final video! I am so incredibly grateful that we had them to capture the best day of our lives and that we will have a video to relive the day forever <3
We absolutely loved working with Tori and Chelsie! The process of creating our video was laid-back, fun, and professional, and the final product was stunning. I know we'll cherish ...
our wedding video for years to come. We highly recommend working with The Lumen Studios!
What can I even say?!?!?! My husband and I booked Chelsea and Precious Tori for our wedding and we got so much more than we bargained for!!! They are EVERYTHING!!! KIND, INCLUSIVE,...
caring and so incredibly talented!!! They make you feel like family, like they've known you forever!! The pandemic messed up our wedding day multiple times, and every time, Chelsea and Precious Tori were there to rebook us and keep me calm lol. I lost several vendors because of the date changes, but I was not willing to lose them. Not only did they capture our big day, but Chelsea married us!!!! We did it on my parents deck in the thick of covid, then had the ceremony later on. We had pizza and rootbeer floats afterwards and sang karaoke! We talked and laughed for hours and they were such a joy to be around. I would recommend them to anyone and EVERYONE if you're looking for reasonable prices, talent and FUN!!!! They are not just vendors, they are our friends and we love them both ❤❤❤
I could write a book about everything I love about this incredible power couple, and I think I will!! They are the real deal and SO MUCH FUN! I was a covid bride and when my weddin...
g was postponed, they swooped in for my new wedding date like my literal heroes. After the massive disappointment of rescheduling a wedding, they made us feel excited again. Our very first conversation over the phone felt like I was chatting with a dear friend. As far as skill goes, they are 10000000/10! We received our wedding video sneak peek just a few days after the wedding and it literally felt like a trailer for the best movie ever!! I saw the jaws of our family and friends DROP as soon as we showed it to them. It was above and beyond our wildest expectations. The artistic ability and talent between these two is indescribable and any attempt of mine would not do nearly any justice. They are so incredibly thoughtful and put the exact same immense energy into each couple's special story. I am honestly glad that our wedding was postponed because it meant that we got to work with them, seriously. Our wedding was the best day ever and they are so special to us because they will help us relive the magical memories better than anyone else could have. If you have the opportunity to work with Chelsie and Tori, DON'T MISS IT!!!
There are not enough words to say how incredible working with Tori and Chelsie was. They came highly recommended, and the second we started communicating with them, we knew why. Ch...
elsie and Tori care so much about the couples that they serve. We instantly felt comfortable with the cameras on us. They are both so supportive and encouraging. We were able to be ourselves and that was reflected in our final video. Spending our wedding day with them was like spending a day with friends we’d had for years. They captured the smallest details that we weren’t even aware were happening or were too busy in the chaos of the day to notice. Watching our final video brought us to tears. Chelsie and Tori captured our day and our personalities perfectly. We would marry each other over and over again just to get the chance to work with these amazing women. Watching our wedding video is our new favorite hobby. It will be the best decision you make in the wedding planning process to have The Lumen Studios film the most important day of your lives!
Chelsie and Tori were the best part of our wedding day. Throughout the day, I didn’t have any idea what kind of shots I wanted or anything specific that I wanted captured. I truste...
d them with everything and it could not have come out better. I have found myself watching our wedding video almost on a daily basis now. It perfectly captured everything and keeps bringing me back to my most favorite day. These girls have a true talent and any money spent was 100% worth it! I will always recommend The Lumen Studios!
These ladies were phenomenal from the start. Chelsie was very communicative and prompt when negotiating our custom video package. She helped us cater one of their standard package...
s to include a few extra videos we were looking for, and were so happy we upgraded our selection. Our 5 individualized videos plus a teaser film were worth every single penny we spent. Videography in general can seem expensive, but when you consider how much time and effort goes into the creative filmography and editing, it's the best money we spent on our wedding hands down. We'll have our footage forever, and especially having a pandemic wedding, we were able to share our special day with loved ones who couldn't be there. Day of, Tori and Chelsie were go with the flow, and totally worked around our photographer flawlessly. I purposely booked a photographer and videographer with two entirely different styles, and it is so cool to have such different vibes of pictures and videos. I went with The Lumens because they are edgy, professional, and produce imaging that is truly top of the line and super cutting edge. I 100% would recommend to factor their services into your budget. They couldn't have impressed us more. The best part of working with them is that I knew they wouldn't let us down. I'm very type A, control every detail type of person. However, based on the work I had seen of theirs before hiring them, I had no qualms about letting them do their thing and we ended up with edgy and timeless cinematic gold. Book them before someone else does. You won't regret it.

I made a LOT of changes and accommodations to my wedding day because of COVID & THANK GOODNESS those changes included Chelsie and Tori. They are completely amazing at what they do....
I’m definitely one of those “omg I’m awkward and I can’t stand myself on film” kind of people and WOW did they make me (and everyone!!) look good. I’ve probably watched our video at least 20 times in the past 2 weeks. When we watch the video, from the shots down to the music choice, we feel like we were understood and heard. It captured our day in such a natural and intimate way. I was so blown away by it.
If you are on the fence about hiring or allocating money out of your budget towards this service, I would move forward confidently with Chelsie and Tori. They are creative, professional, personable, so, so kind, and were wonderful to work with throughout the entire process. I’m so thankful to have their beautiful work which perfectly captured our day to look back on.
Where do I begin.. First of all, my husband and I are so goofy/unromantic people so I was nervous for the idea of a film. Even though I’ve seen the work of these ladies and know ho...
w incredible they are, I still had doubts about it being us!
On the day of the wedding, it was sooo laid back, natural, and FUN! Most of the time I didn’t even know they were filming, and those are some of the best clips in the film.
Tori and Chelsie are AMAZING! Not just at what they do, but as humans! I couldn’t have imagined them not being a part of my day, I truly feel so honored to have this film for the rest of my life.
PS great time for us, in the middle of Covid19 lock down, to remind myself how special my husband is to me! 😉❤️
Tori and Chelsie were AWESOME! Do you know that planning a wedding can be stressful??!? Well they took all of the stress out of worrying if we #1 needed a video #2 if we were even ...
video people and #3 what do we do with ourselves?? We aren’t movie stars! I will say that the video was the best decision we made. They were able to captivate all of the important moments on our wedding day and getting to see our happiness in a video is amazing! Their editing style created a wonderful film that was able to capture the essence of our wedding day. They always got back to us quickly and with having a church wedding with “rules” they were able to navigate those with respect and still got great shots! I will say that although Tori and Chelsie were strangers to start, they definitely fit in and felt like family the moment our day started. We really appreciate you both! Thank you!

mple! On the day of the wedding they were extremely supportive and easy to work with. They made the day flow so well and made me and my husband feel very comfortable in front of the camera. We got our teaser within days after the wedding and we could not stop watching it, AMAZING!! When we got our video we could not stop crying. They captured our wedding day in a way we could not have imagined possible. The quality of the video is extraordinaire and we are in awe of their work. Chelsie and Tori are incredible to work with and I couldn’t imagine my wedding day with out them!!
These two are absolutely amazing! They're super fun to work with, they're incredible at what they do, and arguably most importantly they worked really hard to not add any stress to...
an already stressful day.
They sent us a teaser a few days after the wedding and it was BEAUTIFUL.
I would recommend Til Death to anyone and everyone! I'd give them a 5000 out of 10.
My sister has been so excited to get married ever since her and Cody got engaged and I think her day will really be made now after booking with Till Death Wedding Films. I think sh...
e has shown pretty much everyone and their mother the past videos that they have done and everyone has been obsessed. We can't wait to work with Chelsie and Tori!
Chelsie and Tori were a dream to work with for our Colorado wedding. Picking this duo to film our wedding was an easy choice for us. Till Death Wedding Films had previously filmed ...
my sisters wedding as well as a family friend. I knew from those experiences that these two were who I wanted to film my wedding day for several reasons. Chelsie and Tori are so FUN and PROFESSIONAL. They are experts at what they do and they bring a lot of great energy to your day. Not only are they good at what they do, but they are both amazing people. It's great to have a good vendor but it's amazing to have a vendor that are not only seriously talented but fabulous people. My family and I would both agree - we would love to spend more time with Chelsie and Torie because they are such a joy to be around. They are the best. Highly recommend these two to film the most special day of your life!
My daughter and future son in law just booked Till Death Wedding Films for their big day next year and have been nothing but excited ever since! We can't wait to get to work with a...

I can not recommend Chelsie and Tori enough!! They were absolutely fantastic through the whole process and helped make our wedding day perfect. They were such an integral part of o...
ur day and we truly can not thank them enough. They were so supportive, creative, kind, and fun on our big day and it would have absolutely not been the same without them! We did not feel an ounce of stress as they day got started and we owe a lot of that to them! I have watched our preview about a trillion times and I have no doubt that our full video will be just as lovely! BOOK THESE AMAZING HUMANS!!
My future bride has not stopped raving about Till Death Wedding Films. Ever since she found you all, all she has wanted to do is show your work off and it has gotten us both really...
excited for our big day to come!
Till Death Wedding Films was the first KC videographer that my google search brought up and boy am I thankful. With how crazy I am about spreadsheets, that put them at the top of m...
y list. I looked at other vendors but nothing compared to the packages that they were able to offer (affordable and customizable too I must add) and nothing will ever compare to how compassionate they are. Chelsie and I scheduled a phone call and both thought it would last an hour tops (it lasted 2). We were both just throwing ideas at one another and it was one of the most fun phone calls I have been apart of! I could tell that her and Tori both wanted to see what would be special and important to me in my video and what our needs were. I've never seen a company that invested so much love and time into their customers and I will be forever grateful that I came across their page. I love you Till Death Wedding Films and I can't wait to see my big day play out wonderfully!
We have finally celebrated our year anniversary and can’t imagine NOT having a wedding film or NOT having worked with these two fabulous humans!! Tori and Chelsie are incredibly ea...
sy to work with, prices are insanely good, & the film is the best thing we did for our big day. We ❤️ them!! 10/10!
I cannot reccomend Chelsie and Tori enough. They traveled over an hour and a half for us and worked tirelessly all day. They were such a positive influence for the day and their wo...
rk is unparalleled. I loved their personalities and how well they worked with everyone throughout the day. I would recommend to all family and friends ten fold.
Chelsie and Tori are the absolute best! They captured the most beautiful moments from our special day and I couldn't imagine working with better people. They showed up early, staye...
d late, and most importantly, spread love and kindness over our wedding day. Their warmth spread over all of us and made it easy to be ourselves in front of them. Jack and I feel so lucky to have had these spectacular women in charge of recording the best day of our lives. Love, love, love! Feel free to watch our videos- I only do about 100 times a day;)

Till Death wedding Films did an unbelievable job capturing each moment in such a creative way. Not to mention Chelsea + Tori are the sweetest souls! We cannot wait for the opportun...
ity to collaborate together again! Thanks guys!
I simply don’t think that words can do Tori and Chelsie justice! When I contacted Till Death Wedding Films for participation in a styled shoot, I had a very specific vision in mind...
. I wanted to create a welcoming space for a couple near and dear to my heart, and to include vendors who would be there to celebrate and cheer on all of the unique and beautiful love that day. Tori and Chelsie did that and so much more. Not only are these two KILLER videographers, they’re even better humans. Down to earth, compassionate, and considerate, these two will make your big day one that’s inclusive, one of a kind, and all around fun as heck.
If you are looking for a great videographer look no further than Til Death Wedding Films!! Chelsie and Tori are amazing to work with and they will make the experience so comfortabl...
e and fun! They are really great at what they do.
