Working with Chris was honestly one of the best parts of our wedding experience. The video he created for us is something we’ll cherish forever—it’s so nice to be able to look back on our day and relive all the special moments. He captured so many little things we didn’t even remember happening, and we’re so thankful to have those memories preserved.
Not only is Chris incredibly talented, but he’s also one of the kindest people you could hope to work with. His calm and friendly presence was exactly what we needed in the middle of all the wedding chaos. We had a longer engagement—about two years—and booked him pretty far in advance. He stayed in touch throughout, making sure he fully understood our vision and was ready for the big day.
We truly can’t recommend Chris enough. If you’re looking for a wedding videographer, he’s your guy!
Over the years, my husband and I have gotten to know Chris pretty well. He is the designated videographer for my friend group’s weddings and it has been a pleasure being with Chris through these special milestones.
Chris is professional and knowledgeable. I’ve never worked with a videographer before and I felt his process helped me confidently navigate what to expect.
His enthusiasm for his craft is a gift and I love the way he made my husband and I feel our very best in front of the camera.
An extra special shout out to him for working with me to set up a livestream of our ceremony for my family in Sweden. It meant a lot to my family and Chris went above and beyond to make sure it happened!
We couldn’t thank him enough and can’t wait to see him at our next friend’s wedding!
We couldn't be happier with the incredible work Chris did as our wedding videographer. From start to finish, Chris was attentive, professional, and incredibly organized. His meticulous planning and creativity truly shone through in every shot. The dedication he showed to capturing every special moment resulted in a stunning video that we'll cherish forever. The seamless coordination and stunning visuals are a testament to his exceptional talent. We highly recommend Chris to anyone looking for a videographer who will go above and beyond to make your wedding memories come to life beautifully!
We can’t say enough great things about Chris, our wedding videographer! From the very beginning, Chris took the time to truly understand our story and what was most important to us. He didn’t just show up on our wedding day; he immersed himself in our journey, capturing the essence of who we are and what made our day unique.
Chris went above and beyond by even returning to our venue after the wedding to get a better drone shot. This extra effort was a testament to his dedication and passion for his craft. The final video is a stunning reflection of our day, with breathtaking aerial views and intimate moments beautifully woven together.
If you’re looking for someone who not only delivers exceptional quality but also genuinely cares about capturing your story, Chris is your guy. His attention to detail and commitment to making our wedding video perfect exceeded all our expectations. We are so grateful for the memories he’s preserved for us to cherish forever!
Chris is an absolutely INCREDIBLE videographer. I was on the fence about hiring a videographer but SO GLAD I booked Chris. Chris quickly became my friend throughout the wedding process. He was amazing at communicating and even took my husband and I on a dinner date to discuss our wedding video dreams. Don’t even get me STARTED on the actual video. Amazing😭 my family and I can’t stop watching. With all that being said, BOOK CHRIS FOR YOUR WEDDING! You will not be disappointed. TOP TIER VIDEOGRAPHER!!!
I truly am not sure how we got so lucky to win the jackpot of videographers. Chris was the epitome of amazing from the first conversation we had with him. We were blown away with his kindness, professionalism and compassion from day one. He set up a time for a zoom call and then we planned to meet for dinner closer to our wedding date. we were so impressed that he loves to do dinner or drinks with his clients so he can really get to know them so he has a good feel for who they are and what's important to them. Best decision we could have made to capture one of the most important days of our lives. Not only did he get a feel for us and who we are, but with him working closely with our amazing photographer, they guided the whole day so it was smooth sailing for us to make sure we made everything happen just how we wanted it. Chris has an eye, and heart and a soul that moves you to his work. His creativity and craft is truly a work of art. His attention to detail and focus on tying it all together on the day of the wedding, we knew would just be above and beyond.
The teaser was posted the next day or so. It was amazing and we cried with just that. THEN... we had asked for the whole ceremony, the dances, the entrances and the toasts. He delivered with capturing those, editing them and making us feel so incredibly special.
When he finished the highlight reel, he called us to let us know it was finished. He couldn't wait until my wife and I were in the same space later that evening to watch it together. He was so excited to hear how we felt. WE WERE ABSOLUTELY BLOWN AWAY. He far exceeded even our high expectations regarding what we were hoping for. Just blew it out of the water. We love Chris like family now. We met for dinner again a few weeks ago for him to give us the beautiful carved personalized box with the USB with everything on it in one place. Every single detail was perfect. Every moment in his presence was just wonderful. We can't thank him enough for capturing us and our special day the way he did. There is no way I would EVER trust anyone else to have done what he did so epically... knowing what I know now. I have no doubt we will have dinner again soon. We love you Chris and are so so happy to call you our friend.
Where do we begin…
Chris was not only amazing to work with, but to quote a disgusting amount of spongebob scenes with. Daniel and I truly found a friend in Chris. We just know that he will always be part of our lives.
When searching for a videographer, I knew I wanted someone that creates tear jerkers. He was the first videographer I clicked on, watched one video, and sobbed. After reading his biography of being a SpongeBob lover, we KNEW we needed to book Chris. If you’re looking for a beautiful wedding video, fun time, and good memories…
👏🏻BOOK👏🏻CHRIS👏🏻RIGHT👏🏻NOW👏🏻
I’ve said my peace.
“F is for friends who video weddings and have a great time together”
Yup.
Chris and his team were absolutely incredible filming our wedding day. He was able to capture all the memorable moments, both big and small, and provided an enthusiasm that made him beloved by us and our guests alike. We cannot thank him enough for the job he did and would recommend his services to anyone in the Greater Philadelphia and South Jersey area.
BOOK CHRIS ASAP! We were originally on the fence about hiring a videographer, but viewing Chris’ work made us love his passion and editing. Once we met Chris we instantly knew we couldn’t work with anyone else. He truly was a friend during this whole process. Chris knew day of what to look out for and always had our backs. Not only does Chris create amazing work, but his energy was so uplifting and fun! He was so professional with the venue and other vendors! He had a great assistant the day of. Chris is so kind that he even offered to reshoot his drone work if we had bad weather. PS. His drone work is OUTSTANDING!!
We are beyond grateful to know Chris Pelley!!! 10/10 amazing videographer and all around person. #baldbrother
I (the Groom) have known Chris for several years and he has always been a very passionate and enthusiastic person. When it came to being our wedding videographer, it was clear just how much of his heart and effort was put into his craft and our edits. Coordination with Chris was excellent from start to finish. He really takes the time to meet with his couples and get a comprehensive idea of just what each of them want in their wedding videos. Not only does he take in this information, but he delivers above all expectations and truly made our ideas into reality. From our Teaser Video supplied to us just 2 weeks after our wedding to our beautifully crafted Ceremony Edit given to us less than 4 weeks after that, we knew we had made the right decision in hiring Chris. These tasteful “previews” built so much suspense for our inevitable Wedding Highlight Video because of the clear abundance of quality and attention to detail Chris had put into the extra edits. Our Wedding Highlight Video was delivered 5 months after the wedding and it was so worth the wait. Chris was able to capture our entire wedding day and turn these recorded moments into a true motion picture-esk story that we find ourselves watching over and over. Every laugh, every tear and every crazy dance move was captured through his lens and translated into our Wedding Highlight Video better than we could have ever imagined or hoped for. We are truly thankful to not only call Chris our videographer, but our friend as well. We can honestly say that we wouldn’t have wanted anyone else to record our wedding day but him.
Chris was such a pleasure to work with from the very beginning! We instantly hit it off when we realized our mutual love for Chipotle and the rest is history. Working with Chris has been extremely seamless and he has been very responsive throughout the entire process. We met Chris in person at a Chipotle (go figure) a few weeks before the wedding to go over final details and it honestly felt like we were having dinner with a friend! Chris is very personable and laid back and just easy to get along with and that was very important to us because we knew we were going to be spending one of the most important days of our life with him! Now onto the wedding day - Chris blew us away and our exceeded our expectations times a million. His excitement and high energy throughout the day did not go unnoticed - our wedding party loved him. Not to mention his work is unmatched. He sent us our teaser THE NEXT DAY! And it was seriously amazing, all of our friends and family kept telling us how impressed they were. We are so excited to see what Chris sends us for the highlight/other videos! I cannot recommend Chris enough - you need to book him for your wedding!!!
Where do I begin?? Chris was AMAZING! Even that feels like an understatement. He was so kind, considerate, personable, etc! It really felt like mine and my husbands wedding was just as important to him. From our first phone call to meeting for dinner to discuss our needs to the wedding day itself… Chris was so genuine! I’ll be recommending him to all my friends and family.
I stumbled upon Chris’s Instagram over a year before our wedding. I’ve always believed that I’m pretty good at sensing people’s energy, and I got good vibes from him just through his business Instagram. I fell in love with his work and his style. Unfortunately for us, a videographer didn’t fit into our budget. None the less, I continued to follow Chris’s pages and envy those who WERE hiring him. Fast forward to only 3 months out from our wedding day, I made the impulsive decision to just hire Chris and I’d make the money work! I had stalked this guys work for over a year and as it got closer, I knew there was no way I’d be able to get married and not have this guy shoot our day!
Chris has been an absolute pleasure every step of the way. Very responsive, informative and professional, but also down to earth, FUN and hilarious. I can now confidently say I read his energy correctly. He got on so well with my husband, maybe a little too well cause the back and forth joking continued into our honeymoon lol. Our teaser was sooo “us” and I don’t think anyone other than Chris could’ve nailed it so perfectly. So if you’re here contemplating hiring him, don’t put it off like I did! Do it!
Thank you Chris from the bottom of our hearts. Keep doing your thing, comrade.
We hired Chris for our NYE wedding and 100 percent made the best decision doing so!! Chris was on top of everything from start to finish he didn't miss a beat. He took the time out to meet with us in person to give us a personalized experience. He even arrived at the venue early just to make sure we had awesome drone footage of our venue. Our ceremony was at night and Chris was prepared with additional lighting and anything else you could think of to make sure it went off without a hitch. Chris was even able to get us our teaser out before the weekend was over!! People couldn't believe that it was a "teaser" with how great it turned out!! We would recommend him to anyone thats in need of videographer who will go above and beyond to make your day unforgettable. Chris we really can't thank you enough for everything you really gave us the TOTAL package. - Erin and Rachel
Chris was far beyond the best vendor leading up to and including my wedding. He was responsive when we had questions and overly grateful that we selected him. Prior to the wedding, my wife, myself, and Chris were able to meet up and grab a bite while we went over the day and finalizing details. He is a down-to-earth guy that is fun and knowledgeable.
Come the day of the wedding, he showed up early and got great sky coverage over the venue and was able to help with last minute requests. He mic'd up my best man so that he could propose to his now fiancee and got excellent footage just based on the teaser we've seen so far. I can't wait to see the final product! I would and have recommended Chris to anyone and everyone during a time of stress leading up to your special day. I gained more than just a great videographer. I gained an awesome friend. Thanks for everything, Chris! Let's get ramen soon!
Hiring Chris Pelley to be our videographer was hands down one of the best wedding decisions we made! He is flexible and accommodating and all around so easy to work with. He is passionate about what he does and that absolutely comes through in the beautiful work he produces. His attention to detail perfectly captured all the small touches that made our wedding so unique and special. We have received countless compliments on the teaser and highlight videos he so masterfully created. They bring us to tears every time we watch them! We didn't think we could ever afford a videographer as talented as Chris and we are so grateful we found him. Choosing Pelley Pixels is a decision you will not regret!
Chris was amazing and his videos speak for themselves. Chris is very professional, easy to contact and prompt with his responses, thorough in his services prior to, during, and after our wedding day, and truly wanted to make sure our videos were custom to us and included everything that we wanted. He exceeded our expectations and my husband and I would recommend Pelley Pixels to anyone that is looking for a videographer for any event! Every time we watch our highlight video, it brings us right back to all the feels of our special day!
Pelley Pixels was great, personal, professional, and a blast!! I would 10/10 recommend him for all videographer needs. He was so accommodating and great to work with as well! The fun and relaxing working relationship made our special day even greater!
We hired Chris way late in the wedding planning game, and are SO glad he was still available that weekend. We have COUNTLESS amazing things to say about Chris. First of all, he is your wedding hype man. Before the day and day of he was hyping up every decision we made and was so excited for us! Second, he is DEDICATED. Chris arrived at the venue two hours before we hired him for in the contract (with permission) to get a lay of the land and grab drone shots for our video! You will have absolutely 0 regrets hiring Chris. In fact, he’ll be a key component to making your wedding day the best day ever!
I worked with Chris from Pelley Pixels on a wedding at Lauxmont Farms in Pennsylvania this past weekend. As a wedding planner, I can say Chris was one of the easiest and most friendly vendors to work with before and during the wedding!
Chris is clearly passionate about providing excellent service to each of his couples and will go above and beyond to make that happen. Chris and his second shooter showed up early to get set up, meet everyone, and make sure that they were familiar with the venue before they began service. Chris also helped set up the livestream for the couple completely out of a willingness to serve them well, as it wasn't part of their package. Throughout the wedding day, he was consistently flexible if the schedule shifted a bit from the original timeline, as it usually does. Both he and his second shooter were constantly taking initiative to find beautiful and meaningful footage to capture, whether or not it was explicitly stated in the timeline.
In the weeks leading up to the wedding, Chris was incredibly responsive and easy to communicate with. He made a point to call on several occasions so that we could nail things down more quickly, rather than emailing back and forth. Chris was willing to do whatever was needed to make sure the bride and groom were happy and that the other vendors were set up well.
Lastly, Chris is such a friendly person who can easily get along with just about anyone, which is so valuable for your wedding day. When you have so many friends, family, and vendors working together, it makes such a difference to have amiable and easy-going vendors present throughout the day.
Chris was absolutely fantastic, and I hope to have the pleasure of working with him again soon!
Chris was absolutely fantastic to work with! From arriving earlier than asked to make sure his set up with perfect, to rolling with any punches we threw at him, and helping us come up with new and fun ideas he really went above and beyond! He was the vendor who offered the most support prior to the wedding and was invested not only in doing a good job, but in us as a couple to make sure our day went smoothly. He was extremely professional while still personable, and worked so well with our photographer. Anything we asked of him was carefully worked through and he remembered every little piece on our big day. His attention to detail is impressive and the ideas he helped us with were some of our favorite parts of the day! We truly can't say enough good things about our experience working with Pelley Pixels.
I thought my husband and I would have a really stressful time planning the wedding during COVID but we had a lot of amazing experiences that we will remember forever. One of them is working with Pelley Pixels. He was very easy to talk to, very professional, and eased our mind by keeping organized and collected during the whole process. He captured our church wedding beautifully. His creative mind also was perfect for those memorable touches that are unforgettable. What's a bonus is how quickly and efficiently he works to get it all put together. Highly recommend!
Chris was professional and personable all at the same time. He went through every detail with us and showed he truly cared how our day went. He made sure to set up proper lighting, sound and cameras we needed for our video. We cannot believe how amazing this video turned out. He captured every single detail we wanted with immense detail. He has an extreme taste for art while editing the video to make it perfect for us. We would recommend Chris to all couples looking for a videographer. He went above and beyond, even giving us a personally engraved wooden USB of our video for keepsake. Getting a videographer was the best decision we could have made!
I am the daughter @ Jen and Ricks wedding...I just want to say you are CRAZY talented. The video was movie quality and just utterly stunning!
And you move pretty swiftly...you got all the shots!
You just have to give credit where it’s due. You have a God-given talent that only you possess. No one else can do it like you...keep being great!
We found Chris through our officiant and we are happy we did. From start to finish he has been great and answered all my questions. His work is phenomenal. Our videos we got back were amazing. We even got them back so quickly it was great. I even asked for more to the videos and he immediately got back to me and helped me. So happy we went with him.
Chris has a talent that is above and beyond what my expectations for this video could have ever been. He does AMAZING drone work, which for my mother’s beach wedding, gave the video an extra touch of beauty that most videographers are not able to capture. Awesome editing skills and was very knowledgeable and professional in everything he did from start to finish. Thank you so much Chris!
Chris did a video for my wedding and couldn’t say anything negative. Everything was professional and came out great. No complaints here. Also this was just when he started, so I bet he got even better if that’s possible. Thanks again Chris!
We had a FANTASTIC experience working with Chris Pelley. We trusted him entirely to make our vision come to life, and he definately delivered!
When we went to book our shoot, Chris answered right away and it was very easy to pick a date that was good for both if us to meet up. Once I met up with Chris for me and my boyfriend shoot, it was great. Chris is so nice and made us feel comfortable to work with him. During the shoot, he would position us and let us know what to do, but let us have our own flair in what we were doing. Had a blast doing the shoot with Chris, always was cracking jokes and making sure we had fun while we did the video. When he reached out to me that he had the video done and he sent it to me i was blown away on how the video came out. It was beautiful, beyond my expectations. I can't wait to book Pelley Pixels for later filming!
