My fiance and I were on the fence about hiring a videographer for our wedding. We decided to bite the bullet and we’re so glad we did. The highlight film we received from Pretty Films captured our day perfectly! They also did a great job of getting to know us as a couple beforehand and was able to edit the video to fit our personality!
The team was accommodating to our requests and preferences the whole way through. Our photographer had a more photojournalistic approach and style, so we wanted to make sure the footage captured matched. The day of the wedding was a breeze and so easygoing with Pretty Films. We hardly even noticed they were around most of the time (which is what we wanted). The entire day was such a blur for us and they were able to capture so many moments and interactions that we either missed or had and wanted to remember.
I highly recommend Pretty Films for your wedding day!

Amazing work. I told them what was most important to me for them to record. Let's just say that everyone who watches my video is completely blown away. I, for one, am crying my eyes out. I will cherish these wonderful memories with my three sons, new husband, and stepson for the rest of my life. And that, to me, is priceless. I will be eternally grateful for my wedding video and for selecting the best people to capture what was most important to me.

When we booked our wedding we weren’t 100% sure about getting a video but once I had seen examples of ‘Pretty Films’ work I knew then we definitely had to book them. From start to finish on our big day the guys were so lovely. We didn’t even know they were there half the time. They made the day so easy and relaxed for us.

Maribel and her team are simply AMAZING. We hit it off from the first Skype meeting all the way through delivery and beyond. The team made us feel special whilst capturing everything that was important, funny, poignant and that marked the day as so special as it was. We hardly saw the team throughout the day so it amazes me how they got the shots they did. They are also hilarious people! Made us laugh, entertained my Mom.
Their talent is second to none, we had a 6 minute teaser trailer which was delivered super fast and simply blows us, and anyone else who watches it, away. Our longer edit is on its way to us and we can't wait to see it. The quality of production and the moments they choose to put in the edit we have seen are amazing, the flow, the story and the feel of the day captured perfectly. This is NOT a video that will be gathering (digital) dust, we will relish it for many MANY years to come. Thank you Maribel and team, thank you for being such an integral part of our special day and making it even more special! I cannot recommend these guys enough, go with them, you will be as happy with what they do for you as we are.

We really cannot say enough good things about Maribel from Pretty Films! From the moment we sat down for our first meeting I was obsessed. My husband is the kind of guy that will go along with anything I want but even he was really impressed with the video previews Maribel showed us. The price at first seemed steep after meeting with other vendors but once you watch what Maribel offers you can see you are really getting what you pay for. What you get is really high end hollywood movie quality and we couldn't be happier with our end product. Maribel came early to my house and her partner went to my husband's house. They both were able to capture the day so beautifully. I ordered the option to post online that way friends and family could view and I am still getting phone calls and messages about how amazing and beautiful the video was. If you are even questioning hiring Pretty Films for your big day STOP and just book already!! You will not be sorry!!!

WOW! We are so thrilled with our video from Pretty Films. In the beginning we were unsure of how to budget to use this vendor as they were pricier than others, but after speaking to Maribel over the phone, we knew her team would be the best for our day and we do not have a single regret! We never felt we had to stage anything which was important, and they did a great job catching natural moments of not only us, but family and friends enjoying the ceremony and reception. It was fun to have them around and we were sad to say goodbye at the end of the night. They not only edited our main wedding film, but as a bonus they made us a link for our wedding dance (a special Salsa/Bachata routine that we practiced for weeks in advance) and edited that one really nicely as well. I was just expecting a straight shot for the entire thing, but they cut different angles for us and it looks amazing as well! If you are looking for an amazing treasure to have for the rest of your life - look no further. We are so glad that we splurged on this and cut our budget in other parts of our wedding in order to make it work.

Pretty Films was unbelievable to work with throughout our whole wedding planning process! I first called and spoke with Maribel, she was great to talk with and very helpful. Maribel explained to me all of my options and how they can customize it to fit our needs. She was very reassuring that they would capture everything we needed them to, and some, on our wedding day! And they did just that! Maribel shot our wedding day, they arrived on time and captured every little detail. We couldn't have asked for a better experience with the Pretty Films team. They were kind, professional, well thought out and just hung behind the scenes capturing it all. Our wedding day was the most perfect day; it was a sunny, beautiful day on Cape Cod which turned into the perfect sunset on the beach, and a full moon setting on the water by night. All of those moments appear in our video. When we received our video a quick 2 months after our wedding we couldn't have been happier. We got to relive our entire wedding night in just 1 hour. The highlight video that Pretty Films put together for us has it all. I strongly recommend Pretty Films to capture your most perfect day. We would hire them again in a second, their work is unbelievable and they couldn't have been easier to deal with!!!

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.

Pretty Films went above and beyond our expectations. From the time we booked our wedding to receiving our video Pretty Films made everything easy, they were accommodating to our needs and highly professional. On our wedding day the staff (Maribel and her team) felt like part of the wedding party. They were fun, helped us through the shaky moments and were beyond professional in their work. When we received our video we were beyond happy and amazed with the editing by Mat. Words cannot describe the feeling I felt relieving my Wedding day through our video.
I would highly recommend Pretty Films to anyone who is looking for a professional, fun and amazing staff and a memory to last forever.

If you are on the fence about hiring a videographer - I urge you to consider going with Pretty Films. Your wedding goes by in a flash, it is a blur - to have the video to relive the day is the best thing we did. Maribel and her team are so talented - they captured the day with all the emotion and excitement that filled it. We got numerous compliments and guests asking where we found them. Maribel used her humor and outgoing approach to make the most stressful moments seem fun. They were professional, enthusiastic and they truly have a knack for the small details. You will not regret choosing Pretty Films!!.

If you are even debating hiring a videographer for your big day (just like we were) – stop right now and hire Pretty Films! This by far was the BEST vendor decision my husband and I made for our wedding. My husband was not really big on the idea of having our day filmed, as he wanted to be sure we were in the moment and not getting distracted by cameras. Maribel and her team captured every single detail so discreetly throughout the day, which was clear throughout the amazing video. I have gotten so many messages from wedding guests and people who have seen the video from our big day saying it was a “feature film” and more like a movie – they couldn’t stop watching. Thank you to Maribel and her team for the professionalism, constant communication, and incredible quality of film – we will cherish the video of our big day forever!

Choosing Pretty Films as our wedding videographer is one of our best decisions. Lei and I were fascinated by many wedding videos they posted on the website, and we were so excited that we wanted to choose them as our videographer. The moment we met with Maribel we knew that they would do a fantastic job on our wedding day. Maribel is humorous, creative, and absolutely professional. And so does her team. They were able to capture all the best moments we had, and delivered to us a wonderful highlight film that we have already watched a million times! It is worth mentioning that Maribel is also a great aero videographer, and the clips from the drone were so amazing. We are so grateful to have them as videographers on our wedding day! We had a tremendous memory!!

Truth be told, we weren't originally going to have a wedding video... At the time we thought that those funds would be more useful in other parts of the budget. As a wedding and event planner in my professional life that fact came as a surprise to everyone I talked to. But after we found out that my grandmothers would not be able to make our destination wedding, the video became a necessity... and thank goodness it did! If I had to do it all again I would have booked Maribel and the Pretty Films team immediately. From the initial consultation, to the in depth interview, they work with you on such a personal level. They really take the time to get to know you, so they are able to roll with the punches on the wedding day. While they captured every aspect of the wedding perfectly, they were never overbearing and never in our face. The film is amazing, I basically cried through the entire thing. Even the music matched us perfectly! If you haven't already booked Pretty Films... you should now!

If you are looking for a videographer to truly capture every important moment of your special day, and then magically recreate that day, these are your people. Marty and his team did an outstanding job from start to finish. From phone calls and planning before the wedding, to the friendly faces that were behind the scenes on the day of, to the amazing and patient artists that worked with us to create a film that was EXACTLY what we wanted, I cannot say enough. They are worth every penny and more. Thank you for everything

Selecting Pretty Films was truly one of the best decisions we made regarding our wedding. Maribel and her team so perfectly captured the fun, joy, and love from our wedding day! When originally researching possible videographers, I was terrified of having our video feel forced or inauthentic in any way. Maribel put those fears to rest as soon as she arrived to film, making everyone in the bridal party feel completely at ease and relaxed. The entire Pretty Film team was so enjoyable to work with - from the initial emails and phone conversations, to the day of our wedding, to the final footage and package (with an adorable surprise gift), everything was so organized and professional. After receiving our highlight film, I shared the link on my Facebook so all of our guests would be able to see the video as well. I received comments, texts, and calls from not only our wedding guests, but a number of other individuals remarking on how beautiful the film turned out and how unexpectedly emotional they became while watching it (all of the feels is a real thing with Pretty Films). One of the things I cherish most about the video is being able to see so many of the amazing reactions and interactions of our guests that I would never have seen without the footage. Maribel and her team truly portrayed the essence of our day - from start to finish. Every time I get that "I wish we could do our wedding again" feeling, I rewatch our video and I am completely transported back to the happiest day of our lives. I am so grateful for the Pretty Films team and would highly recommend them to any couple in search of a gorgeous and authentic wedding film.

My husband and I had our dream wedding at Fort Adams in Newport this past fall. The day was truly breathtaking, and Maribel the Pretty Films team captured every moment of it perfectly. Maribel went above and beyond (without even being asked) to ensure that our wedding video was flawless. Plus, the Pretty Films team is a joy to have around on the actual wedding day. So many of our bridesmaids, groomsmen, and guests raved about Maribel and her team at the wedding -- "Where did you find your videographers? They are AWESOME!" was just one of many great reviews we heard throughout the day. And my husband and I couldn't agree more. You don't realize how much time you'll spend with your vendors on the day of your wedding, so it is really important that you find not only talented vendors, but kind, fun people to share your day. I will say ... "patience is a virtue" while waiting for your video ... but I promise you that your wedding video will be worth every single second of the wait! Pretty Films nailed it and we could not be happier!

The best! Hire Pretty Films - you will be thrilled!! Our wedding video is a masterpiece. My husband and I have been together for more than 10 years and finally decided to get married. We had an absolutely amazing day and one of my top priorities was to have a beautiful wedding video as a way to enjoy our memories for many years to come. I did a lot of research before selecting Pretty Films - but as soon as I met Maribel, I knew we were in good hands. I cannot believe how lucky I feel to have found Pretty Films. Maribel and her team were born to do this job. Maribel's enthusiasm, professionalism, talent, heart-felt approach and deep commitment to not just producing a great wedding video, but to producing a video that illustrates your love story… is magical. I cannot thank her enough for a video that has allowed us to savor our special day and to have an heirloom that I know our family will enjoy for a long time. My deepest gratitude to Maribel and Team

Should you get a videographer? YES! And we highly recommend Maribel and her team at Pretty Films. Several of our newlywed friends prior to and after regretted not hiring a professional videographer. Uncle Al and his Hi-8 hand-held camera from 1993 panning all over the place with personal commentary? NO! Seriously, go with the professionals. Several in-person consultations on our schedule, Maribel and her team really made us comfortable in the videographer planning process and took the time to get to know us. They really took the time and energy in getting to know what we we’re looking for, what we liked, what we didn’t like captured throughout our wedding, what type of shots, scenes, moments, etc. They listened attentively, and understanding and knowing our venue in advance, planned everything out accordingly with equipment, lighting, sound … even a drone! On our wedding day, both patient and professional, as well as extremely awesome around our little niece / flower girl who was a bit fussy with all the videography (terrible-twos), Maribel and her team did a fantastic job in capturing our wedding. They worked extremely well with both sides of the family making everyone comfortable and definitely had no problem working with our other vendors, especially when it came to communication and time commitments. Incredibly smooth process. No shaky footage, awkward pans, or even wind drowning out the microphones, Maribel and her team beautifully captured our wedding in a short, 7-minute, highlight film … to which, to put it simply since we are at a loss for words, we had a friend who didn’t even attend the wedding tear up while watching the film. Maribel even put together an evening of his own time to premiere the video to us and also give us over all the raw footage that was shot during the day. As perfectionist as we can be, we really appreciated the services of Pretty Films and the awesome job they did. The end product exceeded our expectations and now we have something to cherish for the many years ahead. If you’re on the fence about a videographer, adjust your budget and do it. And if you’re looking for a professional service that’ll do it right, we highly recommend Maribel and her team at Pretty Films.

Pretty Fims is the absolute best videographer that I could have selected to capture our wedding day. We worked mainly with Maribel who was willing to accommodate us every step of the way. As we were planning our wedding, we mentioned that we would be having a horse-drawn carriage. Maribel immediately suggested using a drone to capture the moment. We felt that she was just as excited as we were about our wedding day. Maribel and her team were easy to work with and even arrived at the hotel bright and early, coincidentally dressed to match our wedding color theme. She has a great sense of humor, which helped me relax as I was feeling anxious/nervous because we were behind schedule. Maribel helped put me at ease as she showed me beautiful clips that she was taking while I was having my hair & makeup done. The entire bridal party also commented about how fun she was to be around. The entire crew was very professional and focused the entire day. I saw them running around behind-the-scenes and working hard outside on a typical hot August day. They worked so well with all my other vendors and as a team really helping one another out. It can feel pretty awkward to be in front of the camera, but the team works so efficiently and blends so well into the background that everything feels natural. Maribel is creative, energetic, and motivated – she genuinely enjoys capturing wedding videography and getting to know the couples. I truly enjoyed having her and her team as part of our special day. I cannot wait to see our wedding video. I would recommend Pretty Films fully without hesitation to anyone looking for an amazing wedding videographer!

As the mother of the groom, I was truly amazed to see the wedding video that so accurately captured the events of this wonderful event. All aspects were captured, including the joy, love, excitement, nervousness and support of all those involved. Extremely professional and succinctly portrayed the preparation, service and ceremony. It will be a lifetime reminder of how this special event launched a new life for our son and new daughter!

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 her and her 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 he 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.

Matt and I were so fortunate to celebrate our wedding with family and friends in Manchester VT back in Oct 2021. Many loved ones who could not attend had the chance to witness the beauty and be moved by every tender word. Being able to relive that day, the way we experienced it, is a privilege. Thank you!!! Maribel and everyone from Pretty Films were incredibly kind and professional. They captured every thoughtful detail. They went above and beyond with their time and help through preparations and were a joy to work with the day of our wedding. Our other vendors also raved about them. Having open communication across vendors and being wonderful to work with, is incredibly important and will give you great peace of mind to enjoy your day!!! If you have an idea, a vision, Maribel and her team at Pretty Films will capture it.

We can’t say enough positive things about Maribel and her team! We were a little hesitant and unsure if we needed a videographer in the beginning, but after hearing some reviews from friends about Pretty Films we were convinced that we did. Maribel was great leading up to our day, and was always quick to respond to any questions we had. She even set up a phone call a couple of days before the wedding with her team to make a timeline for us, and to be sure she understood what we were looking for in our video. She was professional, organized, and even helped to coordinate other vendors so everything went smoothly. The day of the wedding Maribel’s team was creative, professional, and went above and beyond, staying well into our wedding night to capture special moments. When we got our video back we were brought to tears and so glad that we will have the video of our wedding day forever. If you are hesitant about hiring Maribel and her team..don’t be! You won’t be disappointed!

When we were searching for a Videographer we landed on Maribel at Pretty Films for many reasons... Maribel’s reputation precedes her, she is absolutely one of the Top Videographers not only in the Region, but in the Nation. Maribel’s work is second to none, she is amazing at her craft of capturing special moments and editing them beautifully. Having said that, now that our Wedding has come and gone, we want to tell future brides and grooms why you should really hire Maribel....Her kindness, that of herself and her entire team. Wedding days can be stressful...and one of the hardest things is to corral people to where they are supposed to be. Why? Because that's the money shot! The video that will carve their place in time and most importantly, in your hearts forever. Working with Maribel and her team was not only professional, but it was OUR HONOR as a bride, groom and entire bridal party - to work with her and her team... due to their genuine kindness with us and with our family. We are so thankful that he treated us with this level of respect on our Wedding Day. It was something that made our day so special and magical. And it is something that we will never, ever forget. Maribel at Pretty Films is aces all the way, the REAL DEAL. We highly recommend FIVE ENORMOUS STARS!!!

Pretty Films did an absolutely amazing job with the video of our wedding day. My husband and I planned a destination wedding in Jackson, Wyoming. When planning our wedding, videography was one of the last things that we booked because we wanted to ensure we didn’t go over budget. Looking back, it should have been one of the first things we booked after the venue because I didn’t realize just how much of your own wedding you do not get to see from the flower girl and ring bearer walking down the aisle to the silly wedding party entrances to the reception. We were put in contact with Pretty Films through another couple that had used them previously. After seeing their video my husband and I were sold and started reaching out to Maribel to inquire about availability for our date. Maribel and her team were very accommodating and willing to come all the way out to Wyoming to film our big day, even with short notice. They ventured around the town and national parks to capture beautiful footage before the wedding activities began and really captured not only our big day but the essence of Jackson. They asked all the right questions leading up to our wedding to ensure they didn’t miss the little things that were important to us. They captured amazing footage and turned it all into an unforgettable film that we will cherish forever! Pretty Films goes above and beyond to really capture the couple's essence.

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!

Maribel was a true pleasure to work with from start to finish. Getting married during a pandemic, we often questioned whether a film would really be a "necessary" cost for our suddenly smaller, socially distant wedding. If this is you, do NOT question it. We love, love, love our wedding video and are obsessed with watching it. The video truly captures our amazing day and it will always be something that we will cherish. On our wedding day, Maribel and her team were so flexible, so easy going and so fun (even in their masks, I could tell they were happy to be there) they made it easy to relax around them. They provided footage of our ceremony in record time, which made it wonderful for us to share it with those who were not able to attend the wedding. Our highlight video came shortly thereafter and it's truly a work of art and we are so, so happy with the finished product. In the end, having a high quality film you can share with people unable to attend because of the pandemic is all the more important during this crazy time. If you are at all considering looking for a different videographer, don't. You have found everything you will need with Pretty Films.

Maribel and her company provided a wonderful Zoom experience for our remote guests that perfectly captured our day without interfering or slowing down the ceremony. We also had her record some pre- and post- ceremony footage, and she and her team delivered a beautiful video for us to treasure forever. Editing is elegant and artful, without taking focus away from the event itself. I wouldn't change a single thing about it, which is incredible for such a personal memento. Throughout the process, I was confident Maribel would handle her side of things professionally and with little input from my wife and I. This is immensely valuable on a day when you have so much to worry about! She's also sincerely a pleasant and vibrant person that made us feel at ease, and she even left us laughing, which I'm sure helped her capture more natural footage of us. We were also able to work with Maribel to get the exact package and price point we wanted. We wanted Zoom as a minimum and maybe a recording to save, but were fortunately able to budget for some extra flourishes that really elevated the edited version. At the same time, we never felt pressured to upgrade to something we couldn't afford. Everyone knows people are liable to regret spending money on frivolous wedding 'extras'. This is not frivolous, and you won't regret it. Thank you, Maribel and Pretty Films

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!

Having a videographer was not part of our original plans. But, covid turned out to be a blessing in disguise for us because it led us to Maribel and her team to capture our wedding day for those who couldn’t be there. As we downsized the guest list and continuously changed plans, Maribel and her team remained flexible with open communication. The team worked beautifully with our planner and photographer and Maribel was an absolute blast on our wedding day – we and our families felt instantly comfortable with them, and they seamlessly captured every element of our day (and, given that we got married during a pandemic, it’s worth adding that we felt absolutely safe with Maribel!). Maribel continued to be extremely helpful and kind after our wedding day. Once we saw the finished product, we quickly realized we wanted more add-ons so we could easily share the day with friends and family who could not attend the wedding. Maribel worked with us to fully capture what we were looking for and did so in a prompt and professional manner. Our wedding video is a piece of art – it’s made countless people cry and it’s such a wonderful gift to be able to share with those who couldn’t be at our wedding (and with those who were!!). Covid aside, any couple would be lucky to have Pretty Films at their wedding, and for any couple on the fence about having a videographer, from one original skeptic to another, you NEED Pretty Films. We truly could not be happier with Pretty Films and are forever grateful for Maribel.

I cannot say enough positive things about Maribel and her team. I was blown away by her exceptional level of professionalism, care and talent. She was so organized but beyond that was deeply invested in my husband and I's story and wishes for our wedding and wedding video. She truly cared and it really showed the day of the wedding. She went above and beyond to get the perfect shots and even helped with things beyond her own job, like helping me carry my train!! The finished product blew us away. The video is like a professional hollywood production!! We are truly overwhelmed with our experience with Maribel and her team. We HIGHLY recommend him!!!
