Our wedding video turned out absolutely amazing! It captured all the emotions and special moments perfectly, and we've already watched it so many times. We couldn't be happier with...
the final film. Thank you, Pretty Films!
We absolutely love our wedding video! It captured every special moment so beautifully, and we'll cherish it forever. We couldn't be happier with the final film. Highly recommend!
We couldn't be happier with our experience with Pretty Films. From the first phone call to the final delivery, the entire team was easy to work with, responsive, and genuinely care...
d about our wedding. On the wedding day, our photographer and videographer blended right in with our family and friends while still making sure they captured all the important moments. Nothing felt forced or overly staged, which was exactly what we wanted. When we received our photos and films, it felt like reliving the day all over again. They captured not only how everything looked, but how it felt. The laughter, the emotions, the little moments we missed in the middle of the celebration, it was all there. Thank you Team! We love everything!
Excellent communication every step of the way, they answered emails within a day and were patient with our last minute questions, they arrived earlier than expected so setup was se...
amless, the videographer was thoughtful and attentive, and our wedding film looks and feels like us.
We had a very poor experience with Pretty Films and regret working with them.
It took over a year to receive our “final video”, which was well below the quality advertised. The co...
lor grading, marketed as “premium”, was inconsistent and unpolished, and the footage suffered from noticeable stuttering during key moments, including people walking down the aisle. The final product looked nothing like the sample videos shown on their website.
Audio issues were significant and took months to resolve, requiring repeated follow-ups on our end.
To make matters worse, when we raised these concerns, a representative named Marty contacted us and used profanity and personal insults, including telling us “you don’t know sh*t” and “you’re talking out of your *ss.” This was unprofessional and unacceptable. We were also accused of only being interested in money, despite spending over a year attempting to work with them in good faith to resolve these issues.
You only get one chance to choose a wedding vendor…do not take the risk with this company.
Working with Pretty Films was a wonderful experience. They replied to emails quickly and thoroughly, which made planning much less stressful. Our videographer arrived on time and h...
ad such a positive attitude throughout the day. We are beyond happy with our wedding film.
As a bride I was nervous about everything, but Pretty Films made it easy, they were always quick to reply, our videographer arrived on time and full of energy, and the whole experi...
ence felt supportive and professional.
They didn’t miss a single moment not my dad’s proud smile, not our first dance stumble, not the way my husband looked at me. This film is our greatest treasure.
I’m still in shock at how amazing our wedding video is! Pretty Films captured every moment so perfectly. It’s like they bottled up all the love and happiness from our day.
Pretty Films is a dream team! They’re so talented and professional. Our wedding video is stunning, and we’re so happy we chose them to capture our day.
Pretty Films, you are amazing! Our wedding video is so full of life and love. We can’t thank you enough.
We are so in love with our wedding video from Pretty Films! They captured every moment with such care and creativity. It's a treasure we'll cherish forever.

Pretty Films made our wedding look even more magical than it felt. The video is perfection!
Pretty Films made our day look like a romantic comedy (but better!). They captured all the big moments, the small moments, and the ridiculous moments. 5 stars!
Pretty Films captured our wedding day beautifully! The video is stunning, and they even caught the little moments we didn’t realize were happening. 5 stars all the way!
Pretty Films did an outstanding job on our wedding video. It’s the perfect blend of heartwarming moments and a few laugh-out-loud scenes.
They turned our wedding into a fairytale. The video is magical, emotional, and so perfectly us. We’re in love with it!
Our wedding video is like a fairy tale. The videographer did an amazing job capturing all the love and joy of our big day.
Overall, had a pretty poor experience with Pretty Films. For starters, they act as a broker. They pair random videographers with equally random editors and the result is relatively...
non-cohesive film. Their examples shown here are not descriptive of their work.
Secondly, Pretty Films upcharged us (twice) for additional time spent with the videographer. That said, the videographer lost all the footage, or Pretty Films did, or their hired editor did, because we got neither raw nor edited versions of footage we explicitly took extra time to ask for. We went back to the project coordinator for a refund, and we have spent about 2-3 months trying to get that refund to no avail.
Pretty disappointed. Wish we'd just opted for a more expensive, higher quality option.
Amazing are Alena and Pretty Films! She was the videographer we selected for our wedding. She is so fun and kind. She always responded promptly and had excellent communication skil...
ls. She and our photographer did such a great job collaborating. There was nothing better that we could have asked for! highly suggestable
Alena and Pretty Films was awesome. I got everything back from them in less than two weeks which was amazing. Definitely recommend.
We had a small, straightforward wedding and initially weren't going to hire a videographer, but my husband convinced me that this would be a unique opportunity because he knew how ...
much I wanted nice videos of us. As a result, we started looking for a videographer and discovered Alena of Pretty Films. We decided on a small package because Alena was so kind and sincere during our phone conversation. Alena also photographed the event. She arrived earlier than we anticipated, was cordial, and patient with all the commotion. She recorded the event in stunning videos. was courteous, sincere, and professional. If we ever need professional videographers, we will most certainly use them.
We really loved our highlight video. We appreciate his flexibility and were happy to get our wedding documented!
From my engagement video to my wedding video, Alena and Maribel were absolutely amazing. Not only are they fun to work with and super sweet, but the quality and creativity of their...
work is phenomenal. I’m so grateful to have found this company. Thank you two again for all your time and hard work!! Me and my family will cherish these videos for a lifetime 🥰❤️
Highly recommend! Very professional and easy to work with. They did check ins as we got closer to our date to make sure we were on the same page. Also, very quick to respond to any...
questions or concerns we had.
Pretty Films was easy to work with and an absolute pleasure!
Pretty Films did an amazing job on our wedding film. Alena was professional and non-obtrusive throughout the entire day. She captured us perfectly and got so many beautiful shots. ...
She centered our highlight film on what mattered most to us. Highly recommend!
My husband and I hired Pretty Films as our videographers. We could not have made a better decision! Pretty Films were professional, kind, and supportive throughout our wedding plan...
ning process (which included a date change due to COVID). On our big day, Alena managed to capture every special moment. We absolutely loved our wedding video and have watched it several times in the 6 months since our wedding. Alena and their entire team went above and beyond to make our day incredible, and we are so grateful that they were there to memorialize the best day of our lives.
The entire experience of working with Alena and Pretty Films blew us away! Alena was wonderful to work with throughout the entire process, from discussing our creative vision to ca...

If you are looking for a beautiful, timeless and natural wedding video, these are your people! The Pretty Films team was truly a pleasure to work with. They were kind, communicativ...
e and on the day of the wedding, super low profile. I never felt self-conscious or overly aware of a camera in our face, but they captured every moment.
Love the video!!! Thanks for making our day memorable.
Maribel of Pretty Films was a fantastic find for us. She has an excellent sense of what works. I've seen our highlight film a lot of times, but not as frequently as my mother has. ...
She seems to have perfectly captured the mood of the occasion as well as the joy and love that our wedding brought. Maribel went above and above, and I have a sneaking suspicion that I don't even know all the ways she did it. I do know, however, that she placed twinkle lights on the bride and groom table during the reception, and the result was ethereal.
We are really happy we went with Pretty Films for our wedding. The two videographers they sent were so sweet and calming and went out of their way not only to capture all the big m...
oments but also to be helpful.
Wish there was a 10 star rating! Can't say enough great things! Best decision we ever made on our wedding!

id 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
