• Q: Do you travel for weddings?

• Q: What is your filmmaking style?

  • A: My style is Adventurous Wedding Cinema. That means I craft films that feel like an indie movie about your love. I blend epic, sweeping drone shots of the landscapes with the authentic, quiet, intimate moments that make your story yours. It's poetic, personal, and always story-driven.

• Q: When will we receive our final film?

  • A: Crafting your story takes time! I pour a lot of love and artistic care into every single film. You can expect to receive your beautifully edited, complete film(s) within 12-16 weeks after your wedding date.

• Q: How long will our film(s) be?

  • A: This depends on the Experience you choose! It can range from a 4-6 minute cinematic highlight film (perfect for sharing) to a 12-18 minute epic feature film that tells the complete story of your day, including your vows and toasts.

• Q: How is the music for our film chosen?

  • A: Music is the heartbeat of the film. I hand-pick and license every single track from a premium music library. This is a huge part of my artistic process, as I choose songs that match the emotion, pace, and unique vibe of your day to tell your story perfectly.

• Q: Do you use a drone?

  • A: Absolutely! Drone footage is essential to my "adventurous cinema" style. It's the best way to capture those epic, "grandeur" shots and showcase the stunning beauty of your Puerto Rican venue (weather and venue rules permitting, of course).

• Q: We're shy/awkward in front of the camera... any advice?

  • A: This is my favorite question. My entire philosophy is built around having you enjoy the here and now. My approach is documentary-style, not about stiff poses. I'm here to be a calming presence, to capture your day as it really feels. My goal is to get the genuine laughs, the real emotions, and the unscripted moments. We're just going to hang out and have a blast.

• Q: Why Terra Verde Cinema?

  • A: I'm not just another vendor. I'm a storyteller with over 10 years of experience in the competitive NY market, now bringing my passion home to Puerto Rico. As a trans woman and a Boricua, I bring a unique perspective, a deep love for this island, and a commitment to capturing the true, adventurous spirit of my couples.
