We are overjoyed to have worked with Alena. She has amazing talent! We can't stop watching our video because it's so amazing! It has received rave reviews from our family and friends. I especially adore the aerial photos she took of the water and our venue. It appears to be from a Hollywood film! Thanks to Pretty Films and Alena!

I can't express how amazing our wedding highlight video that Pretty Films created for us was! I watch it at least five times a day, and it's the best way to relive the day! I like how they combined video clips, parts of speeches, our ceremony, readings, and our letter reading. It gave birth to the most BEAUTIFUL STORY! I also appreciate the fact that we have a beautiful video gallery of the ceremony, speeches, dances, and highlights all on one website. I am SO GLAD we booked them! They are the most amazing wedding vendor!

We just received our highlight video, and it is absolutely perfect. Every time I watch it, it transports me back to that day. Alena did an incredible job of capturing the love and happiness we felt on our wedding day, including so many special moments and details. I'm so glad we decided to do videography, but more importantly, I'm glad we hired Pretty Films because our video turned out better than we could have imagined. Aside from our fantastic video, Alena was a pleasure to work with.

Pretty Films is incredible, and I can't say enough good things about it. When I first inquired about information on their website, Alena responded almost immediately, and we scheduled a call for that night to discuss further details. They remained easy to communicate with and work with in the run-up to the wedding. Maribel was our videographer on our wedding day, and she was both fun and professional. Our wedding video turned out fantastically and was delivered to us ahead of schedule. Pretty Films is highly recommended!

Beyond amazing. I explained what was most important for me for them to capture. Lets just say, that everyone who sees my video is blown away. As for me, I cry my eyes out. I have these beautiful memories with my 3 sons and my new husband and step son forever. And to me, that is priceless. Forever grateful for my wedding video and picking the best people to capture what was most important to me. #familyovereverything

Upon receiving and viewing our video footage of the short highlight clip and raw footage, we were blown away. The footage captures the day in such a real way that we can be transported back to that day every time we watch it. Our family and friends have all commented on how outstanding our short highlight clip was, and in short, we cannot recommend Pretty Films highly enough.

We are SPEECHLESS. The film is absolutely beautiful, it BEYOND exceeded our expectations! Oh my gosh. So many tears, getting to relive those moments. I cannot put a price tag on what you just made for us! You both are incredibly talented, and we are so grateful that you captured our wedding for us. We can't wait to share it! All of the shots were incredible, and we loved how it was put to music (and the music itself-- fantastic!) This will be one of my most cherished takeaways from the wedding.

Maribel filmed our wedding in June and did a fantastic job. The footage is wonderful, and we shall enjoy watching it for years to come. He put together a lovely package and captured some very special moments. I’m so pleased we decided to get our day filmed, and that we used Pretty Films. It was worth every penny and we are looking forward to sharing with friends and family.

I cannot say enough positive things about Maribel and her team. I was blown away by his 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.

Today, our video arrived! Will and I rushed downstairs to watch it as soon as the mailwoman delivered it. Our favorite! Amazing job editing, you done. You have a lot of awesome effects. Although having pictures is nice, the movie makes it so much easier to recall our big day. I really appreciate all of your effort. There isn't a better video than what I received! I'm grateful.

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!

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!!

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!
