We absolutely loved working with her, and would recommend her to anyone! Last but not least, here's what my husband had to say about her: "I was really skeptical about getting a vi...

For our wedding, I combed the internet in search of the top videographer. Pretty Films definitely had that. They are incredible, not only in terms of the quality of their work, but...
also in terms of professionalism and kindness. We had to repeatedly reschedule our wedding due to conflict, and Pretty Films was very accommodating and cooperative. We are grateful for capturing our special day. Thank you so much, Pretty Films! You are truly amazing!
Pretty Films deserves nothing but praise. They are extremely affordable and offer packages to suit every budget. Every bride I spoke with either loved or wished they had gotten vid...
eo of their wedding. I initially thought we could do without it. I assumed it would be an unnecessary expense. However, after discovering how reasonable they were, I couldn't pass it up, and I'm so glad they did. In the last few months, I've watched both my ceremony video and my highlight film numerous times. They were very accommodating to what we wanted, responded quickly to my numerous emails, and were flawless on the wedding day.
The moment I exchanged a few emails with Alena I knew she was the one. She truly loves her job and it shows with her amazing work. I haven't received my video yet but I know its go...

Pretty Films did an exceptional job on our wedding film. We were on the fence about whether or not to buy a video if it was worth it and Pretty Films did an incredible job! We just...
received our highlight film and it was so perfect! It was better than what we imagined.
Wow!! That's the first word that came to our mind after we got our footage back from the team at Pretty Films. Their wide variety of music choices made it hard to just select 2 but...
they really fit the overall vibe we were going for. The team truly captured such an amazing day from the raw footage, the ceremony and toast reels and the amazing highlight reel. Was truly an amazing experience and would recommend them for anyone getting married or need a special event videographer. Thank you Pretty Films team!
Let me tell you guys -- my parents and I went back and forth on whether or not we needed a videographer up until less than a month before our wedding. My dad said let's just do it,...
so I called Pretty Films, and we booked them with just a few weeks before our wedding and Pretty Films, along with our photographer, were the by far the best decisions we made for our wedding. We bought the package with a highlight video, the full ceremony, and full reception. I've only received the highlight video and I'm in love.
We are OVERWHELMINGLY in love with our wedding video. Worth every penny and we are SO glad we decided to have them as our videographer. It was the most beautiful snapshot of our da...

r. ever. ever. You have made me soooooooo happy!!!
I am so happy that we decided to splurge and have a wedding short film created by Pretty Films. Our wedding day would have not been complete without it. To me, a picture is a thous...
and words, but a video, a video is something that you can watch over and over and OVER again to relive your wedding... from the breath you take when you say those magical words, “I Do” to that real-time first kiss as husband as wife… to me there is no limit on the amount of money to spend to have that.
Best decision ever having Pretty Films shoot our wedding! We just received our wedding video and it is absolutely perfect! Maribel captured our day so beautifully and now we get to...
relive the best day of our lives every time we watch it.
Our wedding was postponed more times that I can remember and she was so accommodating and understanding. Before the wedding we met for brunch and talked about the process of the da...
y but also just general chat. Is was as if we had been friends for years. On the day Maribel was amazing, fabulous, fantastic and all the other praising words! For my now husband you couldnt get him to take a single photo but Maribel got him to have his photo taken a thousand times and he did t complain once!!!
Hiring Pretty Films was the best decision we could have made. Very professional and experienced. We were extremely happy with our wedding video. Every important aspect and detail w...
as captured. We could not have asked for more.
Easy to book and provided an amazing / professional product! Highly recommended!"
Booking Pretty Films was hands down the best decision my husband and I made for our wedding.
We decided to invest more on videography for our wedding and we're glad we did! We appreciated the quick response we got whenever we had questions. Whether it was George or Maribel...
- it felt comforting knowing someone is always available to help and genuinely care. Pretty Films will make sure you are satisfied with the film they make. One of the deciding factors was knowing if we didn't like the movie they would go back and make changes needed according to our wishes. It was such a big deal fore me at the time but we didn't even need it because the movie was really perfect once we got it. They are really amazing! Everyone was so easy to work with and are genuinely invested in making sure you're happy with the services they provide. I'd definitely recommend them!
As the new Mrs A could tell you, I was initially somewhat sceptical of the idea of having a wedding film made, but I am so, SO glad both that we chose to have a film made and that ...
it was made by you.
Thank you so much for all your hard work. We absolutely love our video!
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 t...
o 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.
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!
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.
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
Beautiful cinematography with top quality service! They're very friendly, professional and worked so well with our other vendors. We're so impressed after watching our video, they ...
captured all the right moments and other important details we've missed like my sweet grandma in tears and smiles at the same time when we're exchanging vows we're truly grateful Pretty Films caught all that for us. We'll surely cherish this beautiful film for the rest of our lives. Thanks, Pretty Films you guys are amazing!!!
