I can't say enough amazing things about working with Preston. His down to earth personality makes him super likable, easy to work with and very flexible. We told him we wanted our wedding photos to appear fun and natural- nothing too staged and he definitely delivered what we wanted. He allowed us to customize our photography-wedding package and tailor it more to our needs, which other photographers were not willing to do. We ended up working with Preston at our engagement party and on our wedding day, which we are so grateful for! He made an extra effort to capture special moments for us at both our engagement party and on our wedding day that we would not have otherwise had. On my wedding day, Preston made the biggest difference. He came with his team, scoped out my venue and was familiar with the most gorgeous surrounding areas for amazing pictures both inside and outdoors. I didn't have to scope anything out in advance. I 100% trusted Preston to make all photography destination decisions for the bride and groom pictures, bridal party pictures and family photos and I am so glad I did. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer with a great personality and a wonderfully artistic eye. He has the most incredible visions for photography. His photos are unique and simply gorgeous. Preston prioritizes the bride and the groom. He made us feel comfortable and advised us to just have fun with our day. 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, which really helped. Preston used his creativity to set us up for the most amazing pictures with incredible scenery. 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!! 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! read more

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. read more

I've had the honor of having Brovado Weddings take every family picture we have ever had, from our wedding in May 2008 to now. I have NEVER been unhappy with any form of the service that they provide. Preston, his wife Elizabeth & his team are so professional. I have always been impressed with his work & have enjoyed watching Preston grow in his talents. Over the years, this has come to include videography, which I am just blown away by. Just watch one of them & you will see why he's won awards for being the best wedding photographer in the state of Minnesota, but that does not surprise me because he has that much talent. Even back when we got married, we looked at the cost of photographers but knew we were willing to spend more money on our pictures. These photos are one of the things that we would have for the rest of our life. We wanted to make sure that we had the best. We were not disappointed. We try to have Brovado pictures for all of our Christmas cards. The ones that get the most recognition & wow factor have always been the ones that were taken by Preston. People always ask about, or complement us on them. I always have to say it is due to his team. From taking the raw picture, to Liz going over & making them look perfect.... I can never see us thinking of another photographer. I can't wait for the day that our kids graduate, or get married themselves... There won't be another person taking our pictures, that is for sure. They will be there. Flying in on a plan, climbing a tree, or standing in the middle of a street dodging cars, just to get just that perfect shot, they always do. I know they will as they love to do all those things. They love their work & work hard at it... That is why I love those pictures that I treasure so much. read more

Preston and Brovado Photography was the best decision we made (other than marrying each other) for our wedding! Preston is probably one of the coolest guys ever! AND so is his wife Liz! They are just really good, honest people! AND Preston is CRAZY talented! We were not the typical couple that loved taking pictures and had a list of poses for the big day...Preston knew that and took complete control! There is not a single picture I wouldn't frame! On your special day Preston and his large team takes care of everything! I was stress-free on our wedding day and Preston remembered everything and still managed to be incredibly creative at the same time! He is so awesome! You won't get the same ole' wedding photos you see all the time. Preston WILL make your memories our your special day as unique and as special as it actually was:-)! Also after the day is over they still care a lot about you! Making our wedding album with the VERY talented Rachel was such a FUN process! I would 100% recommend jumping up a couple packages to include the wedding album because it is AMAZING! Nothing like it! You will NOT regret it! AND I also just fell in love with Preston and Liz so the fact that we are clients for life is awesome because we at least get to hang out with this super cool couple once a year:-)! Book Brovado. You will be SO HAPPY you did! Love & Blessings! Nick and Jessy:-)! read more

Photos - incredible Fun to work with - yes yes yes Great team of professionals - yes sir Help planning the big day - more than we ever expected Quality of albums etc - unbelievable Can't say enough about the job Preston and Rachel did on our big day, they were absolutely a blast to work with and sincerely were a big part of the entire day running as smoothly as it actually did. Our pictures turned out incredibly well not only through our biased opinion but proven through the huge amount of compliments we received from everyone who has had a chance to look at the shots from that day. While they were a huge part of an incredible day, I have to applaud them just as much for everything they did before the day and after it was all over! Our engagement photos not only looked amazing but were a blast to take with Preston. in addition the planning support from Jeff and the Brovado team was crucial to things running smoothly. Following the wedding, the Brovado team turned our pictures and album around super quickly and the quality of everything was nothing short of outstanding. Liz also helped us design awesome thank you's that (while the idea of writing them is daunting), we can not wait to send out to everyone! I speak for myself and my wife when I say we couldn't be happier with our decision to work with Brovado. read more

There is one word that describes working with Preston and Liz with Brovado Weddings - AMAZING! We have had two engagement sessions with Preston. We just had so much fun at the first while we were in Hawaii that we just had to go again back home in Minnesota! The best part about working with Preston is that it is like working with a really good friend. To work with someone so genuine, kind and talented is truly an honor. I have to be honest. I was nervous before our photo sessions because these photos can sometimes feel cheesy and not real. This was not the case with our photos. I feel that our photos are really representative of who we are as a couple. From rocky cliffs overlooking the ocean, to railroad tracks and lake docks, our photos are truly unique, not to mention adventurous! So Fun!. Preston put us completely at ease and it was great because we kept forgetting there was a camera there! We are so excited and feel so honored that Preston will be there with us on our wedding day capturing all the beautiful moments of what will be one of the most important days of our lives. Cheers to more of life's little (and BIG) adventures! read more

Your wedding day will fly by and pictures will help you remember all of the special moments from the day. I was blown away by the pictures from our wedding and am so happy we went with Brovado! Preston and all of the staff of Brovado were an absolute dream to work with. They came to Montana for our destination wedding and exceeded all expectations. The pictures are absolutely stunning and will be something that we will treasure forever. I had not a worry throughout the entire planning experience with Brovado, the team is professional, fun and energetic. Definitely look no further for a wedding photographer, Brovado is worth every penny! The pictures are artistic, unique and captured our personalities. Our friends and family are already raving about the pictures and are still talking about our engagement pictures. I also did a Boudoir Session, definitely something I was nervous about but so glad I did it! The pictures were beautiful (plus extremely tasteful) and I would highly recommend all brides doing this as a gift to their groom! read more

I feel very self conscious about how I look in pictures and was worried I wouldn't look good in my wedding photos. Preston and his team takes the most amazing pictures!! I LOVE all of my pictures and think I look gorgeous! His team has some unknown filter that makes it impossible to take a bad picture! He makes you feel amazing on your wedding day. Preston kept our wedding party on schedule, and we never felt pressured to hurry. It was just perfectly timed and the day flew by! He made sure that on our HOT July wedding that we kept hydrated. Preston is the photographer that cares about YOU and makes the day stress free. He is able to capture every important memory for your day!

Preston at Bravado was our wedding photographer in July of 2007. Preston and his team did the most amazing job. If you've planned a wedding or are in the mist of planning one you know how hectic things can get. Bravado is a God send. They do their jobs so well that if you hire them, they will make sure that nothing is missed. They have such an incredible ability to ensure that every detail is covered and the creativity to run with something amazing when they see the opportunity for a chance to blow your expectations out of the water. The experience was so amazing that my sister hired Bravado for her wedding in June of 2014. This is the one decision you will NEVER regret. read more

My husband and I have worked with Preston for our engagement, wedding and trash the dress photos. Living a state away has never been an issue, Preston is wiling to travel and even fly his own airplane to get here. Whether working alone or with his crew Preston provides high quality work that has more than met our expectations and he keeps the mood fun and energetic. He is flexible to your needs and ideas, while bringing forth his own creativity and style. Our photos truly reflect each occasion beautifully and bring forth our personalities. We have truly enjoyed working with Preston, and hope to again in the future. read more

Brovado rocks. I've worked with Preston as a videographer at many weddings and have always been impressed with how he works with clients on their wedding day. He knows when to stand back and let the day's events unfold, and when to take the reins and keep things moving so the bride and groom can stay on schedule. Preston is a timekeeper, problem solver, and a highly skilled and experienced photographer all-in-one. The enthusiasm and energy he brings to a situation is contagious and usually takes a day or two to wear off. Hire this guy, he makes brides cry...tears of joy. read more

Preston is an amazing photographer and will immortalize your dream wedding through his photos. I highly recommend Brovado Wedding Photography because of the detail Preston and his assistant photographer(s) put into each photo; they do not settle for just an okay photo (they want it to be perfect); their work ethic is superior; they are extremely personable; and their ultimate goal is your 100% satisfaction. You will not be disappointed with Preston as your photographer--in fact, your expectations will be exceeded. read more

Preston took a photo of me for my book and blog and I was very pleased with it. We took a number of shots and he showed me what my options were with sepia, black and white, color, etc. You can see the one I picked here: https://bolstablog.wordpress.com/about/ I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Preston to anyone who's looking for a promotional photo. He does quality work and those are the kind of people I like to work with! read more

I have worked for Brovado Weddings for the last year and I've gotten to see how this business is run from behind the scenes. From the initial client meeting to editing pictures from each wedding, there is so much attention to detail paid for every individual client. Preston not only cares about taking great photos, he wants the overall experience with Brovado to be positive as well, and it shows! read more
