k flawlessly while reassuring and motivating us all day long. They didn't just feel like videographers to us—they were more like friends! After the wedding, Alena and Maribel went above and beyond to ensure that we adored the video, even when we requested a change months later.

t, but knew that we wanted something more than a recording of our wedding so that we could remember the overall feeling and joy of the day. We wanted something that we could look at in good times and bad to recall where we started out. Alena and Pretty Films did all of that and so much more. Would highly recommend them again and again!
I heartily endorse Pretty Films! On our special day, Alena and Maribel were incredibly kind, patient, and helpful. They got along well with our photographers and worked well togeth...

Amazing job, Alena! We watched a number of videos before deciding on her because we liked the aerial view shots he took of the city (using his drone) and the caliber of the film an...

ty Films was as straight forward as it gets. We absolutely LOVED our highlight reel and documentary. They are pieced together to perfection, with all of the right touches. My wife and I were blown away with the final products and can confidently say it was worth every penny.
Pretty Films, who produced the video, expertly caught our characters. I've probably seen it a dozen or more times, and each time, I notice little subtleties that I might otherwise ...
have overlooked. Pretty Films captured my husband dancing with his grandmother and me with our ring bearer. Go with Pretty Films if you guys are even the slightest bit unsure. You will not regret spending any money at all on them.

OMG I’m an emotional mess cause this is just INCREDIBLE!!!!!WOW ye have just done SUCH an amazing job, THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!
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. Maribe...
l 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!!!
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!
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.
