About
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.

We had the pleasure of working with Ben Pliss at Lisa and AJ’s wedding. It was a great day and Ben did an amazing job capturing all of the moments that will bring a smile to the couples face forever. Thank you Ben! It was great to get the opportunity to work with you.
Ben is my top choice for videographers in the area! He is very talented as well as personable! I would recommend him to any couple getting married! I send all my clients to him because he is the BEST!
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!
