    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!

    Amazing quality and a new friend

    Ben came recommended to my husband and I through our wedding venue Saratoga National. As soon as I saw his Instagram I knew he was the exact style I was looking for. Ben made the whole process so easy for us and delivered the most amazing video (a 25 minute video as the cherry on top). The best part about working with Ben is he is so great at communicating and easy to get along with that you end up feeling like you’re working with a friend. You can tell how much he cares about your big day and delivering something he’s proud of that will truly wow you. Working with Ben means you’ll end up with your own one of a kind video that you’ll cherish forever. He’s truly amazing at his job and I couldn’t have asked for anyone better!

    Amazing Attention to Detail

    Ben went above and beyond! He listened to the style and look/feel we were going for. His ability to edit and play with natural lighting is unmatched and is very un-commercialized, which makes every video he does unique. He is able to capture every shot, but is never intrusive or taking time away from your special day. Highly recommend if you are looking for a movie quality production, rather than a chop shop that pushes out video after video.

    Amazing Day to Relive

    Ben is by far one of the most talented artists around! My husband and I hired Ben for our September 2022 wedding and he was personable, easy to talk to, detailed, and honestly a BLAST to have at the wedding! Not only did he give us a sneak peak of some of the footage he captured 4 days after the wedding, he stayed in touch with us giving us updates the entire time until the final package was delivered to us. My husband and I were truly moved while watching the final product and it was so much fun to relive our day, reminisce on the memory, and also see our wedding from someone else’s perspective. Ben somehow managed to capture every important moment, all the important people in our lives, and even things that both my husband and I missed throughout the night. Thankfully that’s what you get when you hire the best :) I could not recommend Ben enough!

You will never have anyone else able to create a perfect video and capture every moment quite like him. I just received mine yesterday and I am BLOWN AWAY. He has made me so incredibly happy! Words really cannot express how satisfied I am. He goes above and beyond and captures every single special moment so perfectly. BOOOOK HIM NOW!!!!!!! 1000000 stars!!!!!! He is truly so talented NO ONE in this industry compares to his work. I am seriously blown away in awe! Thank you Ben for everything you did to make my wedding video so extremely special. I really value you as a person. Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sooooo much!!!!!

    The BEST in the business

    We cannot say enough good things about Ben!! Not only for his amazing craft, but also for just being a fun/personable guy to have with us on our special day! The videos he creates are absolutely amazing - like a legit movie! The amount of raw footage we received too was incredible and SO fun to watch. Every single moment was captured. Take it from me, book Ben Pliss!!! We were on the fence about whether to get a video or not because I had seen a lot that just didn’t seem that great to me. The moment I saw Ben Pliss’ work from a family members wedding, I was like “we NEED that.” Well we got it and I am SO thankful we did and that we booked with Ben. The highest quality you can get for your special day that you will watch for years to come.

    Amazing One of Kind, Best Energy Videographer

    Ben helped us from the start with recommending vendors to us. He was more than just a videographer, he was someone to bounce ideas off of, someone I could contact while planning the wedding to say "what do you think about this" or "will we have time to do this," etc. In addition to this, he was an insanely great videographer. Prior to the wedding, we told Ben we wanted a time lapse of the venue breaking down from ceremony to set up for the reception and he did it and put it together so beautifully. While watching our wedding video, you can't help but ask yourself "how was he in so many places at once?!" from outside venue and drone footage, to footage of the florist (Look NO FURTHER than: On Thai from Surroundings), to our cocktail hour, welcome entrance, first dance, speeches, etc!! Ben has an attention to detail and puts wedding videos together like he is compiling more of Hollywood film than your run of the mill, standard (possibly boring) wedding video. He put ours together like it was a complete production. I could go on and on about how amazing Ben is and how incredible his work is, but I'll let our video speak (go to Ben's instagram/Facebook and look for Julia + Mike 12.31.21 New Years Eve). If you get quotes from videographers and think you'd rather go with someone on the lower end, just know that you will be getting lower end quality and less attention to detail. Ben is a quality videographer who is worth every penny and our investment in him paid off tenfold. My advice is to make the investment in Ben and understand that a wedding video is timeless. Our photos are unreal (shout out to Matt Ramos) but watching the footage from our wedding that was taken in real-time by Ben is something we now have to show our families, future children, and generations to come. Each of our guests who have had the opportunity to watch the video feels like they are transported back to New Years Eve 2021 and can relive the night over and over again. Thank you, Ben for capturing our magical, beautiful night of our lives.

    A true artist and a consummate professional

    Ben is one of a kind. He created an unbelievable video for our wedding in Coxsackie! He goes above and beyond to capture every shot, while keeping a cohesive flow to the entire evening. There are no staged smiles with Ben - everything you see is raw and real. I cannot recommend him enough! Anyone in the Hudson Valley should book him without question.

    AMAZING!! We LOVE the final product! He used a drone to capture photos of our farm and incorporated beautiful music that was perfect!

    Fives stars all around!! ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
    Due to the pandemic, we had to change our wedding date (a couple times) AND location. Ben was so accommodating with the changes. He didn’t charge us extra and was sympathetic to the situation. His communication with us before, during and after were always made in a timely manner. I felt very comfortable texting him with questions. The video looked like it was professional movie.
    Highly recommend!

    Nothing short of amazing

    If you’re debating on hiring Ben, DO IT!! You will thank me later! He is incredibly talented but also really kind and understanding! Even though covid changed our plans and we had a small ceremony, our video is still amazing and I am so in love with it! I will always cherish it, and I can’t wait to show our children someday!

    Amazing!!!!

    I can not recommend Ben enough to all the brides out there looking for a videographer for their big day. Ben was easy to work with and he made us feel confident and comfortable while recording us. Plus he wasn’t on top of us or our guests all day long like I see other videographer do… he was flexible, friendly, professional and only took him 2 months to gave us the final product.
    I love the video and I can’t wait to show it to my kids in the future.

    We Love Ben & Our Wedding Video!

    Having a videographer to capture our wedding day was a huge priority for us, and Ben was our first vendor we booked as soon as the date was set! He had already captured a few of our friend's weddings, and came with the highest recommendations. Ben was so easy to work with leading up to the big day. Your wedding photographer and videographer are going to be following you around ALL day, so you want to make sure you choose a team that you vibe with. Ben is super laid back and not in your face, but still manages to capture every special moment. We are so thrilled with our final video and have watched and re-watched it so many times! If you're lucky enough to have Ben available for your date - don't think twice- book him!!

    I always wants to star in a movie!

    Ben is a true talent! He captured all of the magic of our wedding day and made it into the best video I could have ever asked for! He is easy going and very fun to work with. He fit right in with all of us and tolerated all of our wild wedding guests. I'd have a wedding all over again just to hire Ben back! He's Marvelous!

    Outstanding and beyond compare!!

    Ben is the best choice for your wedding videography! He is so easy to work with, super responsive and he truly takes the time to ensure your day is perfectly captured! You will not be disappointed with him and he takes the extra step to ensure the quality of your video is the best it can possibly be. Trust me when I say, the wedding videos he makes are unlike any other. They’re NOT corny at all; no elevator music choices or common songs from the radio, he truly makes it classy and one of a kind. I would highly recommend to anyone!!

    5/18/19 Wedding

    Ben was absolutely amazing to work with! From the minute we saw his work even before my husband and I were engaged we knew we needed Ben to document our wedding day. Communicating with Ben before our big day was effortless and he was very responsive. Ben arrived on time for our big day and he was ready to work. He literally worked his butt off our entire wedding day. He was able to capture every shot we could have imagined! About 15 minutes in I even forgot he was there it came so naturally. Then shortly after our wedding we got our first edit! Ben was very easy going with whatever changes my husband and I wanted for our video. He was absolutely awesome during the process and went back and forth with us several times with no issues on edits. Ben literally gave us the most perfect wedding video that exceeded all our expectations. We can’t wait to show our future generations and re-live our wedding day whenever we want. If you haven’t booked a videographer yet do yourself a favor and go book Ben, there is no way you will be disappointed. My husband and I can’t say enough great things about him!

    The absolute best hands down!

    The best ever is an understatement! Ben Pliss is without a doubt the most unique, creative and talented videographer there is! He was not only extremely professional but he was also willing to go along with any/all of the craziness and wedding day shenanigans. He made the day so much fun and captured every single special detail and put it together in a video that truly takes our breath away! You’re really missing out if you don’t have Ben there on your wedding day!

    Everyone needs Ben at their wedding!!

    My husband and I got married on December 30th 2018 at Franklin Plaza and we hired Ben as our videographer!!!. I have been eyeing his work for a long time and every time he posted a new video I would tell my husband “BEN POSTED A NEW VIDEO LOOK HOW AMAZING THIS IS!!!!” We are so happy and glad that we hired him. His cinematography style is very different from other videographers in the area and that’s how he stood out from others!! Everyone needs a Ben at their wedding, he is so fun and professional! I am so looking forward to seeing our video! Thank you so much Ben!!

    Amazing Wedding Videographer!!

    Stop looking and book Ben!! Seriously, we couldn't recommend him more!! We were a little nervous being in front of the camera, but Ben made us feel completely at ease! He did a fantastic job of capturing our day and I can't begin to describe how happy we are that we decided to go with him. Watching our video was like reliving our wedding all over again, and we got to see so so many things that we didn't even notice the day of. We had some unique requests, wanting footage of us on my family's boat, and Ben did such an amazing job, getting everything we wanted and more!! Ben was a pleasure to work with and he really went above and beyond to help make our day amazing!!

    Above and beyond ...

    Where do I begin? It was love at first sight (with his videos, that is)! I accidentally stumbled upon Ben’s website when searching for wedding venues and I knew he was the one. Although my husband begged me not to hire a videographer, I showed him Ben’s videos and it was not hard to get him to change his mind. Not only is his work the most creative, beautiful, and captivating, his personality is just as amazing. He made me and my whole wedding party feel completely comfortable and I received so many compliments on how nice he was. Also, (and probably the icing on the cake) my niece is extremely interested in videography and Ben showed and taught her all about his equipment (which she still talks about to this day). I could go on and on about how amazing Ben is— these 5 stars don’t lie. I wish I could give him a 10! I am forever grateful for you Ben!!

    Ben is the real deal! Our wedding video was everything we could have imagined & more!

    After seeing how amazing my sister's wedding video was, I knew this guy had to be at my wedding! Because of Ben and his magic, my husband and I are able to relive the best day of our lives on repeat! Your wedding day goes by so fast. You will want a videographer who knows how to capture the best parts of your day and put them together flawlessly. Ben is that person, hands down. He is so enthusiastic and passionate about what he does - his talents do not go unnoticed. And he is SO much fun to be around. It was like he was part of the wedding party. Look no further - book him now!

    An absolute pleasure to work with 10/10 recommend!

    Ben was so great to work with! He was professional and fun! He did a great job on our wedding video and we could not be more pleased with the whole experience working with him. He has a real passion for his work and it really shows through the finished product. Thank you, sir!!!
