Thanks to recommendations from couples on The Knot
Most couples aren’t actors, and your wedding shouldn’t feel like a performance. We keep things natural and low-pressure so you and your people can just be yourselves without thinking about the camera.
No awkward posing. No “deer in headlights” moments.
Just real reactions, real energy, and a film that actually feels like your day.
Weddings don’t go perfectly. Timelines run late. Someone’s crying. Someone’s laughing. Something unexpected always happens… and honestly, that’s what makes it unforgettable.
Albany weddings, filmed honestly, and anywhere your story takes us.

We debated whether or not we wanted videography for our wedding but are so glad we did, we get to relive the moments of our day that went so fast. We loved pretty films not only be...
cause they were budget friendly for us, but because they allowed us to have a say in how our videos were edited! The packages they have were phenomenal, you get SO many videos! And another perk of pretty films is that they offer ALL raw footage as an option for your package which really was the selling point for us! Our videographer was Paul Stamper, he was amazing to work with, extremely talented and friendly as well! He arrived hours before he was scheduled to show up because he wanted to ensure that he could get “the lay of the land” ahead of time to ensure he found all of the best spots for us! He even brought my husband and I snacks after our ceremony while we got pictures during cocktail hour!
My only less than positive experience was that pretty films sent us an email the week of the wedding to choose a little over 25 songs for the films, which I am grateful we got to choose all of the music for our films, I wish it was sent WAY earlier, as we had enough stress the week of the wedding, the last thing we wanted to do was listen to hundreds of songs, they were accommodating and gave us a few weeks extension on choosing music! I would just recommend that you ask ahead of time to select the music for your films!
But overall, I highly recommend pretty films for all of your videography needs!!!

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!

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 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.
