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 :)

Ben is the Best!

After seeing Ben’s work from my sister’s, cousin’s and best friend’s weddings, it was a no brainer for me! Ben is seriously the best in the business! He is extremely friendly and outgoing and will provide you nothing but high quality art! His videos make you feel like you are an actual movie star. Our wedding video is simply everything that we’ve ever dreamed of! Hire the talented, iconic, energetic Ben Pliss! You won’t be disappointed!

Exceptional!!!

Having a videographer to capture our day was a priority for me. My husband was nervous about it and felt a photographer was “enough”. I have to say, I went ahead and booked Ben anyways based on recommendations and videos I had seen from his previous clients on social media. The day of the wedding he arrived, was kind, professional, funny and quite frankly I did t even realize he was around and my husband said the same. Somehow he blended into the chaos of getting ready and captured the best footage. I remember seeing him a couple times throughout the night and that is impressive! When the video was done and Ben had made his edits - what was produced was breathtaking, magical and honestly the best video we could have ever asked for. My husband still to this day talks about how he’s so glad that I just went ahead and booked Ben. we watch our video multiple times a year and unfortunately since our big day in 2016, we have lost friends and family members who were close to us. This captures them smiling, dancing and celebrating our special day with us, and means more than we could’ve ever asked for. If you are on the fence about booking a videographer, both my husband and myself tell you go ahead and do it. You will not regret it take a peek at his work on his social media accounts and you will see that he is in our opinion, the best in the industry.

Fabulous Wedding Film!!

This Wedding film Ben created is PERFECT in every way! Ben is a filmmaker, hope you can have the opportunity to work with him before Hollywood grabs him! can’t even tell you how much we love it. My Daughter, (The Bride) and I put so much effort and time into the planning of all the many details of the Big day! Ben is so intuitive, he picked up on all those special details, We didn’t even have to tell him, he captured it all so perfectly! He has created a very meaningful film! A true family keepsake that we will cherish forever. It was a significant investment but well worth it!!!!! If you go to Ben’s Instagram ours is the neon sign “ This Must Be the Place”

Our Wedding Video is Perfect!

We were initially on the fence about whether to hire a videographer for our wedding and watched A LOT of sample videos while trying to make the decision. When we found Ben’s webpage, we knew pretty much instantly that his style was exactly what we were looking for – his attention to detail was incredibly evident in each video and his work somehow managed to perfectly capture the true joy and amazing energy of a wedding day! Ben was a truly fantastic addition to our day, and we can’t recommend him highly enough – he was very laid back and not in your face, but still managed to capture every important moment throughout the day. We also love the longer format of Ben’s work (our video is almost a full half hour!) and it is so amazing to be able to live our full day again from start to finish. We couldn’t be happier with our video – and the family and friends we have shared it with love it as well, with several proclaiming it to be “the best wedding video they have ever seen.” If you are on the fence about hiring a videographer like we were – don’t be, just hire Ben and you won’t regret it!

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!
