Amazing experience from start to finish

We cannot recommend Joe Priore and his team enough! We are so happy we chose him and Nicole to work with us on our wedding day. Our pictures are beyond beautiful - they captured the wide range of emotions everyone felt throughout the day. Besides that, Joe was always a text away, which anyone planning a wedding knows how crucial that is when figuring everything out. If you are trying to decide who to hire as your wedding photographer, look no further than Joe and his talented team!

Amazing job!

While we haven't received our final photos/video yet - Joe and his team were amazing! They helped us stay on track with our timeline and were all over the dance floor with us! They kept us moving when we were running behind on photos and just made sure everything went smoothly. I am so appreciative to Joe and his whole team. We're SO excited to see the final photos and video. Definitely recommend!

Amazing Team!

Joe and his team were absolutely amazing. We hired Joe plus a second shooter and we also hired his videography team. From our first meeting with Joe, we could tell how passionate he was about shooting great photography, he has also been in the business for a long time so he had a lot of insight and could provide advice on a lot of things. This also made the photo and video side of things easy because he knew exactly what to do, what shots to get and we knew we were in good hands. Joe and his team were so professional and overall amazing to work with. Pricing was very fair! We would easily pick Priore Photography and recommend him and his team for anyone who likes his style of photography! Also our number 1 most responsive vendor!

Please don’t wait to book! 1000/10 recommend!

My now husband and I were married in June of 2025 and used Priore photography for our wedding. Two years ago we were first engaged and looking for a photographer. A friend of ours recommended Joe to us and after much research we quickly realized that his work was great and also the price didn’t make us want to rethink elopement! From the beginning Joe was extremely professional and helped us coordinate our engagement pictures and was super flexible with our location which was on a pretty long hiking trail but Joe was totally okay with it shooting at. My husband and I arnt super comfortable with getting our picture taken and this was our first time taking professional pictures together. Joe made this experience so fun for us and super relaxed and the pictures were amazing!! After this I was feeling so confident that we made the right choice. Fast forward a year later and our wedding was around the corner, Joe answered all of my many many questions and even answered questions that I didn’t know I had. He made us feel confident that the day of he had our back and everything would go according to plan. The day of the wedding I can not stop thinking about how perfect it was and how thankful I am to Joe and his assistant Grace. They really ran the show!! My type A personality could relax completely and watching them work I knew we were well taken care of. Joe was extremely calm and kept reminding that the wedding day was about my husband and I and the incredible memories we got to share. The whole day I didn’t worry about the timeline or mishaps because it was already handled. The pictures are just absolutely incredible. Everything that I requested and then some was captured. Graces and Joes styles of photography were different but equally beautiful I feel like my pictures are really the best of both worlds if you like a specific style know it’s already handled. It was so cool too that on Joes instagram he posts sneak peaks of our pictures, my whole family were constantly checking to see if another picture would be posted and when one was it would be better than the last! Our pictures also only took 3 weeks to come in! Now the only thing is is it is so hard to choose which ones I want to print! That would be my only complaint!

Joe and his team were phenomenal to work with! They constantly went the extra mile from communication to getting any and all content and we got our pictures and videos back in a very timely manner. They were creative, professional, and made sure our special day ran as smooth as possible! We are so glad we chose Priore photography and Videography!

10/10 recommend

Very very responsive and willing to give us a package that we wanted for a price within the budget we had in mind. I wanted all of the raw footage and a lot of companies didn’t provide this, but Joe did. He was on time (as was his second shooter), responsive and very helpful throughout the planning process. They had our wedding trailer back to us in just over two weeks from the day of our wedding which was much sooner than we’d anticipated. We then had our 2 hour long video back 10 days after that. We couldn’t believe how quickly we got it all back and were so thankful! After watching our 2 hour video we had a few changes/edits we wanted to make and Joe was more than willing to do so and had them back to us in less than a week and it was perfect! If you’re second guessing getting a videographer, do it. I would be so so so sad if we didn’t have these memories in video to look back on. We can’t wait to watch it every year on our anniversary and truly feel like we can “relive” the day.

Amazing August Wedding

Joe is such a pleasure to work with! He makes himself so available to couples during the entire planning process. He's so professional and knowledgable in the photography field. My husband is not one to want his photo taken, but around Joe it just comes natural - and the photos are the proof! Definitely would recommend Joe to anyone looking for a photographer!

One of the Best Vendors we Chose!

Booking Joe with Priore was one of the best decisions we could have made. He did our engagement and wedding photos and they are all breathtaking!! He made us both feel super comfortable and is truly great at what he does. He was quick responding to us with all our questions throughout the process and played a huge role in making our day run smoothly. I cannot thank Joe enough for capturing all the beautiful moments of our day!!

Beyond Amazing Experience!

So many videographers charge thousands of dollars for a 10 minute video. I couldn't find anyone that came close to offering everything Priore does. Joe was patient, caring and meticulous from start to finish. There were several times throughout the reception I thought to myself "I hope someone got that on camera" and Joe was right there filming. The drone footage, special interviews with parents, music, editing - all amazing. Watching the 2 hour final video was like reliving our entire wedding all over again. Not a moment was missed! You need to go with Priore!

Wonderful and Fun to work with!

Joe and his team were so wonderful to work with! They were on time (even early) to start the day of photos and video! They were willing to take any last minute picture ideas we had in addition to all the previous request we had. They made the day so fun and easy going! We can’t wait to see our pictures and videos!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
