    Amazing Wedding Photography and Videography

    We are so happy that we chose Prelude for both photography and videography for our wedding (and engagement pictures). After doing extensive research of wedding photographers- once we met with Matt at the studio we were sold with Prelude! Matt and his team were awesome at capturing all the special moments and taking the time to make sure all our “picture requests” were done. Matt was amazing to work with, super responsive and accommodating, as well as professional! Always wanting to make sure everything was as perfect as possible! We got our pictures and smash video back within a timely manner and we were very impressed with the quality! Can’t say enough good things about them! Would highly recommend Prelude :)

    Highly recommend

    Highly recommend them! Shannon and Matt were awesome to work with. They made the day fun and got every photo shot we could possible want. They stay with you the whole day and do not leave until more then half your party leaves. They were able to give me everything we had asked for! I will def recommend them to anyone looking for a photographer and videographer! Our smash video turned out beautifully!
    They made our day complete.

    Happy Days Wedding

    Prelude photography was recommended to us by a friend and we couldn't have been happier with our choice! Marijeta our photographer kept the photos relaxed and creative. It was a very, very hot day and she came with us to take pictures outside, which was much appreciated! She stayed almost the entire night and took very memorable photos of events during our reception that we otherwise may have missed. We would highly recommend Prelude!

    Prelude. (Mr. And Mrs. MOORE)

    Had an absolute blast with the team, everyone was fun, super nice and really wanted to capture every moment of our wedding. Matt specifically took time to get to know us and get to know what we wanted.

    Great experience!

    Matt, Matt and Dee were great to work with. Totally professional, got the shots we wanted, did all our special requests and had a super fast turnaround time. While watching the video, we saw a great shot of some friends and they even sent me a screen shot of it so I could pass it along. Thanks!

    Beautiful Photos

    Even though we had a rowdy party of groomsman, prelude did a great job with getting everyone to cooperate and take beautiful photos. Matt really listened onwhat we wanted and had some amazing ideas of his own. Our photos were ready in 2 weeks as promised and they turned out amazing.

    We were so happy we chose Matt and Prelude photography to perform photography and video for our wedding! Matt and his team were so helpful and responsive before our big day. On our wedding day, they could not of been more fun and helpful. We were so happy with how they moved our group quickly into new poses so that we could get all of the locations in we wanted. The photos and video turned out amazing! We highly recommend Prelude Photography!

    My husband and I used Prelude for all three: photobooth, photography, and videography. We were both so unbelievably happy with them. Matt did our Photography and was so great. We had 24 in the bridal party (11 on each side) and he was able to not only capture amazing moments throughout the day, but efficiently as well. Having that many people to deal with was probably tough however he was funny, fun, energetic, and overall made our day so much better. Also, our pictures were ready days later. We got back from our honeymoon and within days we had our proof book in our hand and our digital files on a flash drive. Talk about quick!!! A friend of ours went with a different photographer for his wedding in October and they still haven't received anything. Thins to think about when booking with a photographer. Shannon was our videographer and she did such a great job. We received our smash video and absolutely love it. Can't wait to see the finished product. James was our photobooth attendant. He did an awesome job as well. We received our photobooth book that night and was a great thing to look at while on the plane to our honeymoon. Overall, can't say enough about prelude. So unbelievably happy with the service provided. I will definitely be recommending them to everyone I know. To those reading this, definitely spend some time looking for your vendors. Reviews are everything. We love Prelude and if you need great video, photo, and photobooth I'd go with them! You won't be disappointed. Thank you for such great work and an amazing keepsake of the most important day of our lives.

    Matt was the most amazing photographer we could have asked for. I had so many pictures I wanted and he just kept going all night. We did pictures before the ceremony and he was great at helping with the first look and had so many great ideas for poses. He didn’t give me a limited time frame of hours, he just said he will stay until he feels he had enough shots. And we got back all of our pictures in about 10 days, which I thought was great turn around time. The photos at the reception were the best I have so many great pictures of everyone dancing, I can’t stop looking at them.

    We also got their photo booth and the attendant was amazing!!! She was hilarious and kept the fun going until she left. She would even pick up the kids so they could get in the picture with the adults. We decided to add the photo booth last minute but it was one of the best decisions we did. We have so many picture in the album they give you and they showed what a great time everyone had.

    We used the whole prelude crew for our wedding In July and cannot say enough good things!! Alyssa and Dee were our photographers, Matt was our videographer and they were amazing!! We had a photo booth too and everyone raved about how great he was as well! There were a couple shots we wanted specifically and they were so wonderful about reminding us and pulling us away to do so. They all helped us have a smooth stress free day! Everything turned out perfect, we love it! I will definitely be using prelude in the future and recommend to others as well!

    Matt and Dee did an amazing job with our wedding photos! I can't thank them enough! At the end of the day you only have your memories and photos left from your wedding day and I'm so grateful we chose them. We also got the album. It turned out absolutely beautiful. Their photobooth was also a big hit with our guests! Very affordable and I adore our custom guestbook

    Mel was the best photographer ever! So personal, got along with the whole crowd amazingly, blended in, and just helped us feel relaxed and happy on our special day. People are still talking about how she appeared out of no where to help me with my shoes. Amazing service, and will recommend to friends and family in the future!

    Prelude is the best. The money you pay for the services you get is a steal. They provide fun and amazing photographers and videographers. They are very personable and just show what customer service should be! They made or wedding day so special and even though we only worked with them for a short time, they showed us so much love! Best advice, use prelude!!!!

    I met with Matt, who owns Prelude Photography when we were looking at photographers and he was kind, responsive, and excited to show us all of the options. When I called him, he always called me back as soon as he could and he negotiated with me for the extras we wanted, which was SOO helpful for our tight budget! Alyssa was our photographer on the day and I couldn't be more happy with the photos! We got them all back (over 500) in just over a week and a half and they're SOOO beautiful. She did all the pictures we requested and got some others on the spot. I hate making everyone stand around to get pictures, so we had a list and knocked them all out in 50 minutes and nobody had to stay longer than absolutely necessary getting pictures. She stayed longer than we expected and was barely seen, but got all the best moments. I highly recommend this company!!
