tmovie

tmovie is the video production business of Thomas Zurlinden, based in Dietikon in canton Zurich, which makes wedding films alongside corporate and event videos. The homepage gives the founding year as 2022 and says tmovie has produced more than 110 videos. Its wedding page publishes 2 packages with prices, and Thomas says he works across Switzerland and sometimes beyond.

Who is behind it

The about page is personal and brief. Thomas writes that he lives with his wife and children in the Zurich region, that he discovered the camera at 15 along with a love of telling stories in pictures, and that he now offers professional video and film production for companies and private clients. Besides his strengths behind the camera, he says he loves dealing with the people in front of it, and describes himself in three words: "Echt. Humorvoll. Spontan." (genuine, humorous, spontaneous). The homepage counter describes the business as "1 Mann mit Visionen" (1 man with visions), so a couple should expect a one-person operation.

His services cover corporate and image videos, advertising, aerial footage, events, weddings and interviews. The event page also lists private events, aftermovies, parties, elopements and company celebrations.

How he films a wedding

The wedding page opens with "Ein Film sagt mehr als tausend Fotos" (a film says more than a thousand photos). Thomas writes that his film tells a couple's story as it was, moving, real and unvarnished, and lists what he looks for: the mood in the morning, the laughter at the first look, the music in the evening and the quiet moments in between. He says he works with a feel for both picture and sound, so that the emotions come back years later, and that he knows from his own experience how valuable a wedding film is. His short summary of the style: "Nah dran. Echt. Bewegend." (close, real, moving).

What the site promises

The wedding page frames the film as a keepsake that outlasts the photos. Thomas writes that his film brings a couple's day back to life again and again, even years later, and a section headed "about Memories.." calls a wedding film an investment that lasts a lifetime: couples see the smiles, hear the laughter and relive the day with their closest people, recorded on video so they can watch it at any time. The page's motto for this part reads "Momente die Fliegen. Erinnerungen die Bleiben." (moments that fly, memories that stay), and he explains the name of the business as "THE Movie."

On the homepage, he describes his way of working as passion combined with efficient, clearly structured execution, and says every video is built on strong imagery and sound design, whether it is a business project or a wedding film. That emphasis on sound matters for a wedding film, where the vows and speeches carry much of the emotion, and both packages list audio recordings alongside the aerial footage.

The 2 packages

The page is headed "zwei Pakete, zwei Preise" (two packages, two prices). Both include a preliminary meeting and help with planning the day's schedule, aerial and audio recordings, and both exclude travel.

• Classic Moments, CHF 2800. 8 hours of coverage focused on the ceremony and aperitif. The couple receives a highlight video of about 30 seconds and a wedding video of about 5 minutes.
• Full Story, CHF 3500. 14 hours of coverage covering getting ready, first look, ceremony, aperitif and party. The couple receives a highlight video of about 60 seconds and a wedding film of about 9 minutes.

For a couple comparing the two, Full Story adds the preparations, the first look and the party, and roughly doubles the length of both films. The price for either package does not include travel, and the site does not say how travel is charged.

Where he has filmed

The wedding page shows six films by date and place:

• October 2024, a mountain wedding in the Toggenburg, Aimée and Micha
• August 2024, an outdoor wedding in Thurgau, Jasmin and Benjamin
• August 2025, Schloss Oberhofen in Thun, Ho-Yan and Dominic
• October 2023, the Bernese Oberland, Nadine and Fabian
• July 2024, a farm wedding, Sara and Jacob
• October 2025, Thurgau, Rahel and Pascal

That spread, from eastern Switzerland to the Bernese Oberland, fits his statement that he works throughout the country. Several of the films are autumn weddings, which may interest couples planning a September or October date in the mountains.

Booking and contact

The site's buttons invite couples to send an inquiry ("jetzt anfragen") or request a quote. The contact details are info@tmovie.ch and +41 78 910 59 28, and the business address is Bleicherstrasse 38, 8953 Dietikon. The wedding page links to Google reviews, a wedding video to watch, and his Instagram, YouTube and TikTok channels, which are the places to judge his style before writing.

What the site does not settle

The site is written in German and does not say whether Thomas works in English. An English-speaking couple should ask whether the preliminary meeting and the day itself can run in English.

It does not state how long delivery takes after the wedding, how travel costs are calculated, or what happens if he cannot attend because of illness. Since the business describes itself as one person, that last point is worth raising before booking. The site mentions a FAQ on the wedding page, but its answers are not shown there, and it gives no deposit or cancellation terms. It also does not say whether a longer edit, the full ceremony or the full speeches are available beyond the two films in each package; the longest film on offer runs about 9 minutes.

Who it suits

tmovie suits couples who want a short, emotional wedding film at a known price, with drone footage and good sound included, and who like dealing directly with the person who films and edits. Full Story's 14 hours make it a practical choice for a full day from preparations to party. It is a harder fit for couples who want a long documentary edit of the ceremony, or who need English-language service confirmed up front, and couples marrying far from Dietikon should ask for the travel cost before comparing prices.
