What is the story behind Ben Pliss Media?

Based in Albany, New York, I’ve had a camera in my hand for as long as I can remember. At 24, I found my niche in wedding videography and never looked back. Now, 13 years later, I create cinematic wedding films for couples throughout the Capital Region and beyond. I personally capture and edit every wedding with a creative eye, a relaxed approach, and a focus on making each film feel true to the couple. I combine flattering angles, thoughtful use of light, natural moments, and carefully crafted edits to create films that feel emotional, polished, and alive.

For me, wedding videography is about much more than filming a collection of posed shots. I want to capture the energy of the day, the nervous excitement, the laughter between friends, the reactions you may have missed, and the moments that happen naturally when nobody is thinking about the camera. My shooting style is comfortable and unobtrusive, allowing you to stay present and enjoy your day without feeling like you are constantly performing. I know when to offer direction, when to quietly capture the moment, and when to help everyone relax and have fun.

The result is a wedding film that does not just show you what your wedding looked liked and how and how you posed. It brings back how it felt every time you press play.

Ben Pliss is 1000/10

Ben is a fabulous, professional and dedicated videographer. He will tailor your video to the couple's needs with ease and precision.

He really does capture the best angle too ( that's coming from the photo friend of the group)! His editing is thoughtful and he is efficient with communication.

We are so grateful to Ben and highly recommend him to others. Thank you!!!!

Fun filled Wedding Vendor

From the consultation call to our special day- Ben has been friendly, flexible, and fun to work with. Despite traveling to our venue and weather challenges, he tackled our project with a smile on his face!
Aerial footage, pre-ceremony, ceremony and reception coverage all wrapped into a packaged memory that captures our day perfectly. If you are looking for a personalized videographer instead of a cookie cutter package! Check out Ben Pliss Media!!

Winter Wedding

Ben and his team captured our Thanksgiving weekend wedding last year perfectly. He was so easy to work with and the video he created means so much to us and our families. Having that memory is so special and we would recommend him to anyone who is getting married.

On the day, he and his team blended in perfectly. They were unobtrusive and managed to capture all of the special moments that I think eventually may have been forgotten without him. Book Ben! You won’t regret it!

Wedding Time

Ben provided the videography for my wife and I at our wedding. Throughout the day, while I was with my buddies, he was never overbearing or intrusive. You could barely even tell that he and his team were there, capturing these beautiful moments that we’ll cherish forever. He had my wife and me do all the classic wedding poses and video tropes that we all know and love.

Ben is an incredibly kind person who puts your interests and wishes first. The video he created deserves an Oscar for cinematography, lol! I’d recommend Ben to anyone getting married who wants to capture their special day in a way they can relive forever.

Much love!

Amazing!!!!

My husband and I are not ones that are typically comfortable on camera. Ben could not have made us feel more comfortable and special on our big day - at times, we forgot he was even filming us. He is an incredibly relaxed human being to begin with, so it's no surprise that he calms the nerves on the wedding day. I am truly grateful that we booked him and his wonderful services! Thanks so much Ben for being awesome.

5+ stars!

First of all, book with Ben Pliss. Second of all, book with Ben Pliss. Ummm have you booked with Ben Pliss yet?! But really, there aren’t enough words to describe how amazing Ben is. Meeting him in person for the first time felt like he was an old friend that we haven’t seen in awhile (can you see how happy I was in the attached photo?) He was so energetic, fun, and professional. He truly captured our day beautifully and made sure everything was going smoothly. Honestly, Ben went above and beyond! We were in awe watching our highlight video and it was really like reliving the whole day over. Trust us, the wait is well worth it, masterpieces take time after all right? Funny story is, before booking Ben as our videographer, my husband was really questioning if we needed one. I told him this was the number one thing I absolutely wanted! Let’s just say now my husband definitely sees why I wanted this and is totally glad we had Ben there to capture our day. Thank you so much Ben, we appreciate you!

We love Ben!

We can’t recommend Ben Pliss Media enough! From the initial consultation to receiving our 10 second wedding “preview video,” Ben was an absolute pleasure to work with. He really took the time to get to know us and our vision for our wedding, and even arrived a little early on our wedding day to scope out good shots for the video.

Ben is incredibly professional, talented, creative, and easy going, and it’s clear that he loves what he does. Thank you, Ben! We can’t wait to see the final wedding video :)

Where do I even begin? First off Ben is an absolute breath of fresh air in the video industry and is quickly sweeping Capitol Region by storm. His style is so modern and crisp. From the first 30 seconds of watching one of his videos you can instantly see the passion in his work, it is very different than your typical boring 1990’s style video that you still see a lot of business’s practicing today. Ben and his assistant are extremely presentable, professional, and cheerful. From the very moment that I met Ben we just connected. When it came time to work, Ben was always very conscientious of me to not be intrusive of my shots during the ceremony and the critical parts of the wedding. He also tried to stay unobtrusive to the guests as well, which is a huge plus to me. If you are looking for an amazing wedding videographer, then look no further. Ben Pliss Media is sure to deliver a stunning movie of your day with nothing left behind. I greatly look forward to working with you again in 2015, Ben!
