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 Brovado 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.

We LOVED Preston and his team from the very beginning. When you spend the most special day of your life with strangers you should be able to have fun with them – and we definitely did! They made us laugh, we made them laugh, they made us feel beautiful and special and most importantly, they took AMAZING photos of our wedding day. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

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 sneak preview. His assistant Katie was great day of the wedding and his office manager/editor/assistant, Anna, is fabulous to work with. Glad we got the package where we are his “clients for life”!! Highly recommend – you won’t regret it! 

I can’t say enough amazing things about working with Preston. He was super easy to work with and very flexible. Immediately when we sat down to meet him, we felt comfortable with his down to earth personality. We told him we wanted our wedding photos to appear fun and natural- nothing too staged and he immediately understood what we were looking for. We loved that he allowed us to customize our photography-wedding package and tailor it more to our needs, which other people were not willing to do. We ended up working with Preston at our engagement party and on our wedding day. He made an extra effort to captured special moments for us at our engagement party that we would not have otherwise had. On my wedding day, Preston made the biggest difference. He came early with his team, scoped out my venue and was familiar with the most gorgeous surrounding areas for amazing pictures both inside and outdoors. Preston made us feel so comfortable from the beginning. He gave us advice to just have fun with our day. Initially, we thought we were going to be exhausted from pictures and it was going to end up looking posed and forced. But, thinking back, I never had to fake a smile. We took Preston’s advice and had fun! More importantly, it felt like we were taking pictures with our friend, not someone we hired. Preston used his creativity to set us up for the most amazing pictures with incredible scenery and we laughed throughout all of our photos. Preston made sure my husband and I were taken care of- he came prepared with water and small snacks, which really came in handy!! They went above and beyond our expectations! The Brovado team was so organized, worked seamlessly with everyone involved and helped make our day totally stress free! I am so lucky to be able to say I wouldn’t have changed anything about my wedding day, and I know I have Preston and his team to thank for so much of that! If you are debating about Brovado, I would recommend choosing them!

We cannot express how amazed we are with you. You were the only one that was taking care of us the whole day. Mat and I could not have done it without you.

We just had our engagement photos with Preston a few weeks ago. It was great! I came up with the place, the classic spot of the Stone Arch Bridge, and he knew exactly where to go to get great shots! I now wish I would have picked a different spot just because I do realize how many other people usually pick that same spot… poor Preston, always having to shoot to the same spot. But, with that being said, he did a GREAT job of making our engagement pictures not look like anyone else’s. Ours still turned out unique and artistic, just the way I wanted them and my number one requirement for a photographer. A solid photographer was my number one request for our wedding events, and we got one!

Now, my fiance on the other hand, was not looking forward to taking pictures, and a wedding photographer was on the bottom of his list. He thought we could have just anyone take our pictures… some boys, I tell ya! Well, you know what they say, happy wife, happy life! I got my way, so my fiance had to come along for pictures. He was really glad he did because he had a FANTASTIC time and raved about it for days after. Him and Preston hit it off right away! We had soooooooo much fun! Preston knew exactly where to take us, how to direct us for each shot, keep us laughing and in high spirits the whole time. My fiance and I are both very excited to take more pictures for our wedding and work with Preston again!

I would recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer with a great personality and a wonderfully artistic eye. As you can see from his work, Preston does a great job of getting a mix of landscape shots and close up shots of you and still manages to frame the shots just right and pack them full of colors and contrasts. All of which, in my mind, make up perfect pictures!

Preston is simply amazing. Not only is he a spectacular photographer, but he is so personable, detailed, and thoughtful. He makes sure you have all the photos you want of your special day and has great vision for making stunning photos. The one aspect I recommend investing in for your wedding is your photographer because you can carry the photos with you throughout the years–plus photos help to keep the day alive in your memory. Preston and Brovado Photography will exceed your expectations with this.

You made the day, for us, absolutely amazing. My fear of photographs is still here, however, you were able to relax and calm me down. I can’t thank you enough for that. My sister-in-law, and brother-in-law, both commented on how personable and professional you were. They were both blown away-verbatim. I said in my text I would recommend you to anyone having a wedding/big event. It’s the absolute truth.

Preston – You guys were absolutely AWESOME! You made our day so special and our wedding photos were just as advertised. Truly ARTWORK! You guys rocked! Thanks for making our day PERFECT!

I used him for my wedding last year after interviewing more than a dozen reputable photographers in the Twin Cities and never once did I regret my decision! Leading up to the wedding he was accountable, available and accommodating. We were able to rely on his expertise and judgement any time we didn’t have the energy or experience to make a decision regarding the photography. When we did have ideas or preferences, he provided great suggestions to help us refine them. Picking a photographer to shadow you on your wedding day is no small task, but he was a welcome addition to one of the most important days in my life. And the results were stunning. His eye for style and ability to capture a genuine moment is really amazing. If you like his style, there is simply not a better person or photographer to work with.

Its hard to explain in words how amazing Preston and his team were on our wedding day! Not only did he make me force fluids (which I was too nervous to remember myself), help me with my veil, keep my crazy relatives at bay, he even gave me tips on how to use the ladies room in my very big dress. He and his very friendly and amazing team made things go smoothly and got us pictures we would never have had without him. No one tells you how tough it is to stand for photos when you are nervous and overwhelmed. I will admit I got hot and crabby… but his team knew what I needed and we got the job done. Preston and his team made me feel beautiful for the first time, in a very long time. I will never forget their kindness. And I am incredibly thankful that we trusted our memories to Preston and his team. From the bottom of our hearts.. Thank you! Love John and Abby

We could not be more pleased with our Brovado relationship. Preston and his team are friendly, smart, savvy, funny, enthusiastic, professional, personable, highly talented, and exceptionally good looking (you know you want a good looking photo team running around at your event). I was so impressed with Brovado’s online portfolio that I began an immediate campaign to work with him for our Glensheen Mansion Wedding in Duluth Minnesota. Their ability to capture and powerfully showcase emotion, once in a lifetime moments, and environmental elements and influences is unmatched. Preston’s presence and confidence at our wedding added immensely to the positive energy, calm feelings, and on-the-spot troubleshooting (dress fixes, warm gloves, mints, etc.), not to mention his ability to wrangle everyone into order during family formals! Our wedding photos turned out amazingly (as we expected) and our friends and family are all very impressed with the results (and I think a bit jealous of how awesome we look). Working with Brovado was the best choices we could have made for our wedding and we look forward to continuing our relationship into the future.

After our engagement, one of the most important things to find right away was our wedding photographer. Photographs last a lifetime, so selecting the right photographer to capture my special moments was crucial. One meeting with Preston was all we needed to know him and his team would be our wedding photographer(s) and be there to capture a lifetime of memories for us; his creativity and the way he captures the beauty of a single moment – we knew he was the one who was going to bring out the best in our wedding! The personality of the whole team, their professionalism, and their amazing talent speaks for itself. Don’t hesitate on booking Brovado Wedding Photography for your engagement shoot and wedding, you won’t regret it!

There are no words to explain how WONDERFUL Brovado Weddings was. From the engagement session to the Rehearsal Dinner, the Wedding day and Reception. The gang was there when I woke up that morning until we left the reception. Everyone from Brovado weddings was absolutely awesome. We can not explain and express how much Thanks we have to them and for them for capturing absolutely everything on our wedding day. We would recommend them in a heartbeat. We were not disappointed with anything, everything we wanted was captured!

We can’t say how happy we are with our wedding AND engagement photos from Brovado Weddings. Preston went above and beyond to make sure we got the pictures we wanted and to make us feel comfortable in the process. We got married in January and he came to the wedding more prepared than anyone in our wedding party with hand warmers, wool socks and everything we could need to be comfortable in the cold weather. We decided that the one area we wanted to invest most in for our wedding was the photography – and it was worth every penny. If you want to capture your special day with pictures you will keep forever, we would HIGHLY recommend Preston Palmer. And if you’re really up for an adventure, ask him about his aerobatic flying skills! He took us for a ride of a lifetime!
