We’re in awe of our wedding video! Pretty Films did an incredible job capturing the love and joy of our day. We’ll be watching this video for years to come!
We can’t thank Pretty Films enough for our wedding video. It’s the perfect mix of romance and comedy – just like us!
The video is full of pure love. They captured every emotion, every smile, and every tear of happiness. It’s something we’ll treasure forever.
Any questions?
Our wedding video is like a beautiful love story. The videographer did an amazing job capturing all the emotions and special moments.
Alena at Pretty Films was without a doubt, simply outstanding. She was not only a pleasure to work with, but she also created the wedding video of our dreams. I'm not joking when I say that watching it left my husband and me speechless. It is classy, enjoyable, humorous, and so memorable. I will always treasure this.
FROM TRAILER TO FEATURE LENGTH! Alena was such a pleasure to work with, and have with us, as a videographer on our wedding day. She's got a creative eye and was open to making small changes so that the videos provided were everything we hoped for and more. I remember sitting down to watch my parents wedding video with them (my have times changed,) but can't wait to be able to do the same in years to come and relive every moment with these. I highly recommend Pretty Films!
Holy crap! Alena exceeded all of our expectations. She was able to capture extra drone footage, was right on the dance floor the entire night, and worked super well with our photographer. She was super attentive to our needs and our wishes of wanting specific moments captured. Also she did a fantastic job capturing different angles. We cannot wait to see the video!
I booked Alena for a client's February wedding because I was a wedding coordinator. She was an absolute pleasure to work with; her communication was excellent and prompt, and the videos were so beautiful that I found myself in tears as I watched them. Pretty Films is highly recommended!!
Alena and Pretty Films were fantastic to work with! She met with us several times before our wedding to discuss our vision and any special requests. She was a lot of fun to be around on the day of our wedding and made us feel at ease. The finished product arrived on time and exceeded our expectations. I would recommend Alena to anyone!!
On the day of our wedding, working with Alena was such a pleasure. She captures moments so beautifully and has such a great energy that we will always remember her. We are overjoyed with the outcome and grateful that we picked Pretty Films as our videographer.
Our wedding highlight video and the speeches and dances at the reception were beautifully captured by Pretty Films. Throughout our wedding planning process, they were a pleasure to work with, quick to respond to all of our inquiries, and seamlessly integrated themselves. Anybody looking for a videographer should definitely check them out!
We heartily endorse Pretty Films! When I was looking for a wedding videographer, I must have watched hundreds of wedding videos, and I could tell that each of Pretty Films' wedding films was unique to each couple, and they didn't use the same template for all of their couples. We had a few specific moments in mind that we wanted to be captured, but we trusted them with the rest, and while we've only seen our highlight film so far, we couldn't be happier!
This is your all-star videography team!! Originally, my husband and I were not going to hire videographers because we were concerned about feeling awkward being filmed the whole day, and we find most wedding videos difficult to watch, but Pretty Films has definitely transformed our minds on both counts! We are so glad we hired them because we totally adore our wedding video.
Pretty Films did an outstanding job with our wedding video! Nothing would change my mind. Such nice people, and the video quality was excellent! We debated whether or not to hire a videographer, and I am so glad we did! They also had reasonable prices. I would strongly recommend them to anyone!!
My now-husband and I were debating whether we wanted a cinematographer/videographer to capture our wedding day because many of the different types of videos we had seen out there from various companies were not necessarily "us." We were blown away when we discovered Pretty Films! We were referred by a friend and were completely satisfied with their work.
Pretty Films was a pleasure to work with right away! Always quick to answer questions through emails. Most of all offered fantastic directorial direction day of the wedding.
We ADORE Pretty Films! They made us feel very at ease, and occasionally we forgot they were there. (Which we appreciated because we preferred to be present to feeling like we were being filmed.) We were surprised by how much better our videos came out. We are SO happy to have these films to show our future children and to look back on for years to come
Honestly I cried happy tears after watching our wedding highlight reel! I have watched it over and over again and can not wait to continue to watch it for the rest of our lives! Not only was the quality of the video perfect, they captured every single detail of the wedding and the music selection on the highlight reel was amazing!
Wow! Pretty Films did a fantastic job as our wedding videographer. When our videos were returned, we appeared to be the main characters in our own film! My husband won't stop playing the lengthy film and social media video that they gave us on repeat. While filming, Pretty Films gave us clear instructions and made the experience unforgettable. We were quite pleased with everything.
10/10 recommend! We previously had booked a different ( not so reliable) videographer recommended from a friend. We changed over to Pretty Films a month before the wedding and I could not be anymore pleased! They were professional, reliable, friendly, and personable from start to finish.
We love that they managed to capture the overall emotion and feel of the day and all of those special little moments that could easily pass by unnoticed
In all the hectic stress of the wedding day, it was nice to have them balance blending in, but still getting the shots they needed. They both are very calm and put me at ease when things went wrong. I appreciate them more than I can express.
our Videographer was amazing we couldn’t have asked for a better person to capture our big day!
At the wedding, there were 2 videographers who were extremely professional and worked fast and furious to keep up with all the festivities going on and to capture every special moment possible. After the wedding, Maribel worked quickly to send me the first cut of our video. They worked with me on every detail to make it perfect! I now have a beautiful wedding video that I can cherish forever!!
Thank you so much for talking me into having the Highlight Video done. It completes’ the whole video. Our videographer who was great to work with, very conscientious of the other vendors and really made a great impression on our Deacon. Thank you so much for everything!
The finished product is just perfect and we watch our video all the time. Thanks for everything Maribel, you were worth every penny! 100% would recommend to anyone looking for a wedding videographer!
Where to start? Both families and friends are in awe about the whole set up. From getting ready to the ceremony to the reception then to the finale (Video highlight). Being the first couple in our family using a videographer, we're both excited to say we did it with the help of Pretty Films.
WOW, wow, wow a million wows! Got my film last week, had plenty of time to watch it 1000 times - LOVE LOVE LOVE it, friends, family MOM, all love it. THank you so much for what will be one of the greatest treasures of my life. Anyone on the fence of getting a wedding video, find a videographer like Pretty Films and book it. One of the best decisions of my wedding planning.
We were fortunate enough to have Pretty Films be apart of our special day this past March. We wanted real emotions and memories from our wedding video and oh boy did they deliver. Communication was always clear and concise and Maribel was always on top of absolutely everything. On our wedding day we almost forgot we were being filmed and not once felt like we were on display but there was Dave, so inconspicuous and never pulling focus yet catching every moment! We were absolutely blown away by our short film, it had us reliving all the special little moments of the day. All our footage is seriously incredible, every emotion, tear, laughter, smile and most importantly dance move was captured, candid and natural. The shots of the venue, scenery and water are incredible especially by the drone. Cannot recommend them highly Enough!!
We are absolutely delighted with the video; it's beautiful and you have captured some really special moments and funny ones too; it's brought the day back to life for us. We really appreciate the hard work you put into the day and the production after; we cannot thank you enough. I was telling my Mum how late you worked and she said she didn't see you; I said that's exactly how you wanted it.
The communication before the big day was easy and prompt. On the day Alena's team was relaxed and low key capturing lots of natural and candid moments unbeknownst to ourselves while also guiding us helpfully through the family and couple shots with lots of laughter along the way.
We got the same day's edit and everyone, including ourselves, were quite impressed. It baffles me how they shot our video and produced such an epic video in almost no time. It was the perfect tease of what was to come but let us remain on our wedding high throughout our honeymoon.
Just having received our wedding video, my faith in his and his team’s abilities couldn’t have been more correct. They tied together every special moment seamlessly, and not in a dry chronological sequence (getting ready, ceremony, pictures, cocktail hour, speeches etc.). But she didn’t stop by adding just the classical moments, she added special moments or places that she knew would be dear to our hearts. For instance: capturing our last kiss before marriage (with the groom blind folded of course!), zooming in on the address of our first apartment (one spot where we took photos), involving moments with our dog (and removing the part I tripped because our dog was pulling so hard). It didn’t stop there, she added a shot of my law school as it was a few buildings away. I don't even recall mentioning it at our second meeting but she was so thorough and attentive that she remembered. But my absolute favorite part was that she included footage of my mom and I FaceTiming with her sister (my aunt) and her mom (my grandmother), who both live in Greece. Due to my grandmother’s health, they were unable to attend. There was a shot of both of them on my mom’s phone! It meant so much to my family and I that they were included. I would highly recommend Pretty Films as your videographer. I have dreamed of my wedding day since I was a little girl and from their work, I can relive it for decades to come.
After watching some of Pretty Films work, we did not consider anyone else! They were the only ones who we felt could accurately capture the full emotion of our wedding day - and they did this beyond our wildest dreams. They were so professional and made us feel super relaxed and at ease (which is a difficult thing as my husband hates having cameras on him!) They were accommodating and accessible during the editing process, keeping us updated on the timeline. They truly wanted to make sure we loved it. Which we do times a million!! They were so amazing that my sister hired them again for her wedding this upcoming year. Thank you guys for everything! Highly recommend it!
Planning a wedding during COVID brought a few challenges but did not stop us from moving forward with our DREAM wedding! Maribel and Pretty Films were fantastic to work with every step of the way! They assisted in blocking out the stresses of the world and ensured that we all enjoyed the celebration at hand on the day of the wedding! Knowing that Maribel was by our sides, capturing all the memorable moments of our small, intimate wedding allowed for us to take a deep breath and soak up all the love of the day! We are forever grateful to have the ability to share a beautiful video that encompasses the love and joy we experienced on October 10, 2021, especially with those who were unable to attend due to the restrictions in place. We look forward to reliving the “BEST DAY EVER”, for many years to come!
Maribel and her team were amazing! She listened to our needs then provided a brilliant broadcasting of our micro wedding on Zoom, as well as videoing key events from the wedding. On the day of the wedding, it was a pleasure working with our videographer. she was really positive and keen to get just the right footage without needing guidance and really worked seamlessly with the photographer. My video and photo are the most important vendors I hired and I Highly recommend getting a video from Pretty Films! Thanks!
Pretty Films was one of the best vendors we've worked with. They've worked so hard not only to capture the essence of our day but also to portray our love story as a couple and we're truly grateful and happy about that! We couldn't have asked for anything more!!!
