Absolutely the best

First of all, I am a filmmaker and former photographer. Both of these professions are very important to me. So I'm sure you can imagine that picking a photographer for my wedding was incredibly difficult. When I first came across Bravado Weddings I LOVED his images but I knew I it was going to cost more than I wanted it to. After giving it more consideration we decided to meet with Preston. Our first meeting with Preston was incredible. He is extremely personable, he had snacks for us, and we both felt like he cared about our desires as a couple. Not to mention, seeing his work in the beautiful wedding album books he had was amazing! Immediately after the meeting we booked Preston.

Throughout the entire process Preston added sooooo much value to us. I personally hate being in front of the camera (That's why I chose a profession being behind it!) and Preston made the entire process fun even for someone who doesn't like to be photographed. Our engagement session was so much fun and Preston was always quick to respond to emails.

The day of our wedding was an absolute blast. Preston made both me and my wife feel extremely comfortable in front of the camera and was always conscious about how we were feeling. Asking if we needed breaks, water, snacks, etc. The entire day Preston helped us have an amazing time. I cannot stress to you how important it is that you have a photographer with a great personality. It makes the day SO much more fun and smooth.

One of the biggest regrets I always hear about after weddings is that the couple wished they had hired a better photographer. Photos are one of the few things you will have that will last decades after your wedding. If there is anything you should focus your budget on first, it should be the photographer. Preston will give you absolutely incredible images in any situation as well as make you feel extremely valued through the whole process. He treats you like a close friend that wants the best for you. A wedding vendor should help make your day run smoothly with less stress and that's exactly what Preston is able to do.

I truly cannot recommend Preston enough. I assure you, even if it goes a bit past your budget, he will be worth every single dollar. Our initial budget was around $2,500-3,000 and we settled on Prestons $5,500 package. I have zero regrets and couldn't be happier with how everything went.

Preston Palmer is an INCREDIBLE photographer. Professional, responsive, fun, and SUPER talented. The engagement photos were amazing and I’m DYING in suspense to see all of the wedding pictures after our sneek preview. His assistant Annie was great day of the wedding and his office manager/editor/assistant, Anne, is fabulous to work with. Glad we got the package where we are his “clients for life”!! Highly recommend - you won’t regret it! Check out a few of our favorite shots of his below!!!

Having known Preston for years, I was so looking forward to the day we could finally work together. He can make even the most camera-shy person feel like a natural. His personal touches to every shot is really what stands out the most - he reads his clients and gets to the know their personalities and can truly bring out the best in each image. The attention to detail - and boy were there a lot of details! - is brilliant. I could not recommend him and his team more. We are so thankful and honored to have worked with everyone at Brovado Weddings.

Preston and his team were amazing. Our engagement and wedding photos are stunning. His team also handled some difficult parent situations with ease and worked well with the children in our wedding party. I would hire him again in a heartbeat and truly felt taken care of as a friend and someone he cared about. No cookie cutter photography here! Hire Brovado - you will not be disappointed and your photos will be amazing! I would recommend him again in a heartbeat.

Preston and his team were absolutely amazing. From our engagement photos to wedding photos they would answer every question we had. They work with a timeline and provide samples which helps take the stress off when trying to figure out what pictures we need. They are professional, yet so much fun to work with. You leave your sessions with Brovado wanting to hang out again as they know how to get the energy going. The kids in the wedding had a blast with them and they were so good working with not only a 7 year old, but 2 kids under 3. It is going to be nearly impossible to pick just a few good pictures as they are all stunning. I cannot wait to work with them again in the future.

You did an amazing job on our daughter Steph Adamek's wedding... even with all the blended families and extended families... you were still able to capture us all genuinely well! The ones we have seen so far only leave us excited for the rest to come. Thanks for capturing her dream day and helping her keep those memories close for a lifetime. You are amazing at what you do and we are beyond blessed that Steph and Tanner chose you. Continued blessings on your fabulous career, you obviously chose the right one!

We met Preston and his team at the wedding of my fiancee's (now wife's) best friend. We were enormously impressed by his work and discovered in a stroke of good fortune that he was free on the weekend of our wedding as well. We had an extremely positive experience with Brovado and wanted to be sure our review included all the points we hope might be helpful to prospective future couples.

Preston was very accommodating during the lead-up to the wedding, and actually flew into Madison (flying his own plane) for our engagement photos. Neither my wife nor I are particularly natural in front of the camera, but Preston gave great direction throughout the shoot and quickly had us relaxed and having fun. He found a lot of beautiful shots, and we got a lot of guidance in what to do, but he was very mindful of the types of pictures we wanted (and wanted to avoid).

On the technical side all the scheduling, billing, and other details were handled smoothly and efficiently. The personal website and the online presentation were excellent, and the entire team was immediately responsive to questions. The general sense of professionalism helped take the stress off the wedding prep.

Preston took absolutely stunning pictures of the wedding, and he did a wonderful job keeping everyone upbeat and focused throughout the (sometimes chaotic) wedding party and family shoots beforehand. On a personal note, Preston and his team were just plain fun to work with. He combined conscientious professionalism with a sort of easy-going friendliness that made the day a bit more fun and seemed to show up in the pictures of the guests caught on camera.

Brovado made our entire wedding photography experience incredible, and did a fantastic job capturing the memories of the day. It's a pleasure to recommend them.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
