AWARD WINNER (5X)
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.
Buffalo weddings, by the water, in the city, and anywhere your story takes us.

lms 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!

ng 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.

o 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!!!

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!!

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! Wh...
en 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 perfec...
tly. 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!

he 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!

om 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, videogr...
aphy 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.

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 sudd...
enly 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

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.
