I am so happy that I used Pravada Photography for our wedding. Julie and her team were incredible, and they did an amazing job of capturing our dream wedding day! I highly recommend using them for your special day!
I cannot recommend Pravada photography enough. They were the first vendor I hired after picking my venue (the Mansion on Main Street) because I loved their stunning portfolio and specifically their photos at my venue and engagement shoot location. I used them for engagement photos, wedding photo and video. They are AMAZING. I love all of my photos and video, and they are the sweetest people to work with. My family and bridal party are still raving about how great and nice they were. They are knowledgeable and efficient so that you don’t have to worry about a thing and can just be in the moment on your wedding day. I could not be happier with all of their work, which are now precious memories from our wedding day.
We just had our wedding at Brigalias on Saturday and Bryan and his team were beyond amazing. He got every shot I wanted, was so upbeat and funny, and made taking wedding party photos with 20 people in 95 degree heat a blast! I couldn’t have been happier with our photography experience, Pravada went above and beyond from the time of booking all the way through our wedding day. I would recommend them to anyone and cannot WAIT to see our wedding album!!
Julie is professional, understanding, nice, and overall awesome. She does such an amazing job with all of her photos. If you look at some of her photos, they are really beautiful. She did our engagement photos and our wedding. I highly recommend her. We can't thank her enough for all the lovely photos and video she took during our wedding. She is the best.
Pravada Photography filmed my wedding in September 2023. Bryan was amazing from beginning to end. On a busy day with many moving parts it was a relief to have vendors like Bryan who knew what they were doing. He also provided an excellent suggestion and we changed my entrance last minute which made the ceremony more magical/picturesque. Bryan is very courteous and accommodating. He is also not afraid to make suggestions which I appreciated since I did not have prior experience planning weddings. The wedding highlight video was BEAUTIFUL. I absolutely loved it! He accommodated for me a lot and went above and beyond after the wedding. He uploaded the full wedding version on YouTube for me when I experienced difficulty downloading it. Bryan is very easy to work with. He has the right balance of being accommodating and delivering what the bride wants. At the same time he also does not shy away from giving advice to help make the wedding more perfect. I would recommend Bryan in a heartbeat!
Pravada Photgraphy/videography were absolutely amazing! Julie helped me every step of the way and took beautiful photos for our wedding! Our videography was also truly great. I can’t wait to get our photos and video back! I would highly recommend Pravada!!
Bryan is absolutely awesome. He ran the show and got every shot I could have asked for. On top of being a great photographer and keeping us on track, he was personable and made everything fun. Our pictures came out better than I could’ve hoped for. Very happy with our choice!
We couldn’t be happier with our choice to have Pravada as our photographer and videographer for our wedding day. Julie was wonderful to work with. She was able to accommodate every little detail and request. She helped us design our wedding day timeline that made everything easier and more efficient the day of. The day of the wedding she helped make everything run smoothly and ensured that no moment or detail was missed. I provided Julie with several specific shot lists for the day of, and there wasn’t a single detail missed. She truly surpassed our expectations in every way. She sent us some sampler “teaser” pictures only a few days after the wedding and we received the rest of our huge album super quickly after that. It took us almost a year to decide on what pictures to use for our prints and albums and she was incredibly patient and helpful. We would recommend Pravada to anyone looking for a professional, reliable and creative photographer/ videographer.
Julie from Pravada was the absolute best! Very patient, listened to any and all ideas and suggestions we had and brought amazing ideas of her own to make our weddings shots everything we could possible want and more. We thought it would be super tricky to get great shots in the cold of winter mixed with a super sunny day but Julie pulled it off and we we're so pleased with how the shots turned out! We can't wait to see our finished album!
Julie and her team were so great to work with! They did photography and videography for our wedding. We did our engagement photo shoot with Julie and we knew during that session that Julie would be so easy to work with. She listened to what we were looking for with our wedding pictures and really helped bring our vision to life. The photos are absolutely breathtaking and we are so impressed with how they came out. Their team does such a wonderful job! Highly recommend!
My husband and I absolutely loved working with Bryan! He was personable, funny, and professional. It absolutely poured on my wedding day so we had to take all pictures inside. Bryan took absolutely beautiful pictures that we will cherish forever. Thank you!!
Julie and her team did a phenomenal job! They made my picture dreams come true and I loved how they captured all the raw and important moments. They are a great team to work with and super accommodating. Leading up to the wedding we had a phone call to go over last minute details and the day of they went above and beyond to make us feel special. The pictures are already back and they are GORGEOUS! Highly recommend!
Words can't even describe my love for Pravada! I knew right when I met Julie they were going to be my choice for my wedding day. Julie is kind, caring, professional and has all around great vibes. Julie and Brian shot my wedding day and my husband and I are over the moon at how our photos turned out. These moments and memories will last longer than a life time. To have special moments captured and captivated for forever is so incredible and there is no better team then Pravada. Julie and Brian were artistic, creative and didn't miss ONE single detail. Their patience and over all support on our big day is some thing ill never forget. I enjoyed spending time with them!!! BOOK THEM!
Bryan and Dana were fantastic to work with! I had 10 girls in my party and my husband had 6 guys in his plus both fathers and mothers were upstairs during getting ready. Needless to say we had a full house and we didn’t do a first look so it was really important the parties didn’t cross before the ceremony and they were excellent at making sure that didn’t happen until it was supposed to. Not only did they get every shot on my list, but they were at the edge of every moment, even those lost in the crowd, snapping away. I can’t wait to see what they captured that I didn’t specifically ask for. The few unedited ones I saw on the camera screen were stunning just in composition alone. Both photographers were super friendly but what I must compliment the most is how calming and reassuring they were even when it wasn’t an area that was theirs to deal with. The weather seemed touch and go all day to the point I was asked if I wanted to move the ceremony inside, I didn’t want to because the outdoor ceremony space was already set and it hadn’t rained yet, I was starting to worry but both Bryan and Dana pulled out a barometer app to help me monitor it ultimately helping me make my decision to keep it outside and sure enough it didn’t rain! It really shows how much they want to give their client the perfect day because rain or shine they were going to be taking pictures but they went the extra step to help make sure I got the pictures and ceremony that I had been imagining.
BEST PHOTOGRAPHERS EVER! I have attended 4 weddings that Pravada has photographed, so it was a NO BRAINER selecting them for ours. Julie and Bryan are approachable, talented, and SO WONDERFUL at their job!!! Our photos were breathtaking. They helped us remember the day in a way that we never could have without them. They made everyone feel so comfortable and we are incredibly lucky to have them as part of our story. Do yourself a favor, and select Pravada Photography.
Brian is the best!!! He takes all the stress out of the day by guiding you through poses and making you feel at ease to get some awesome action shots! Highly recommend!!
Bryan and Pravada were exactly what we expected, amazing! Made every photo come to life, great positioning and angles. I recommend them to all of my friends and family. Thank you!
Bryan and Julie are outstanding. First and foremost they are both masters of their craft! They have an eye for “moments” and I could not be happier with how our day went! They were approachable and made everyone feel extremely comfortable. They were there when we needed them to capture a picture, but also hidden capturing those beloved candids! We love every single one of our photos and have recommended them to ALL of our friends. They scoped out spots for us to do our first look and had locations ready for bridal party pictures. They do not miss and beat and we are so happy to have worked with them!
Pravada is hands down the best photography company to work with on your special day, or any day for that matter. They are professional, and fun! They work with you from beginning to end, and really make it easy! Julie and Bryan are incredible and you will not be disappointed with their quality of work. They are worth EVERY penny!
Julie was the BEST! This year has not been easy planning a wedding during a global pandemic. Julie was with us every step of the way. She respected our last minute changes in our plans, maintained distancing for everyone's safety and put our nerves at ease. One of the most impressive features noted was how quickly Julie learned our bridal party names so that she could gather everyone for group shots. We had a hugeee bridal party and she learned everyone's names that day. It was a small gesture that made such a difference in making our group shots go smoothly. Our wedding pictures are absolutely stunning! We cannot wait to work with her again in March!
Where do we even begin?! Pravada captured our wedding day perfectly. Bryan and Jeremy made everybody feel so comfortable and kept the party going while still being professional. They answered every question quickly, which definitely helped in the planning process and keeping a stressed out bride quite calm. Our photos were truly magical, and I can not recommend this company enough. Thank you for making our big day so magical!
Best vendor decision we made booking Pravada! Our wedding pictures are amazing and I am so happy with everything I experienced with them! They are very professional, organized and easy to work with! Julie was amazing to work with and made the day go so smoothly for us!
We used the Pravada team for our November wedding and are so happy we did! Bryan was extremely helpful in setting up our package and answering all our questions in the initial contract process. We then worked with Julie to establish our day of plans, and she gave great advice and feedback on how to help our day run smoothly. On the day of, Julie and Michael did a fantastic job of capturing exactly what we asked and then some! They frequently referred to our requested shot sheet to make sure we were getting every set up we requested. Their knowledge of our venue, Brigalias, was especially helpful as they knew where to get the best shots based on the time of day and season without having to go through trial and error. Julie checked with us periodically through the evening to ask about other shots or to suggest different ideas. The turnaround between wedding and the gallery being posted online was just over 5 weeks, and we are so pleased with the results. We highly recommend the Pravada team because of their ease to work with, their creative knowledge, and their beautiful work!
Where do I even begin? Bryan Smith and the Pravada Photography team is easily the best wedding photographers out there. When my husband and I initially started looking for photographers, we were looking for the best quality package. After meeting with several photographers, we kept comparing the others to Bryan and Pravada. He welcomed us into his home for the first meeting, and he was so easy to talk to, and wanted to make sure we got exactly what we wanted. We first worked with Bryan for our engagement shoot. We really wanted to have our dogs as part of that session, but we were nervous as both dogs get overly excited with new people. Bryan took a few minutes to let the dogs warm up to him, and then started shooting. The pictures were breathtaking, and perfect for save the dates. Leading up to the wedding, Bryan quickly answered every question we had. He helped us create a timeline of when he and his group would show up. The day of they showed up looking extremely professional, and were very easy to work with. He was able to get our first look and all family portraits done before the ceremony. Throughout the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception, I honestly forgot they were there. They moved throughout the rooms flawlessly, and did not have the camera directly in our faces the entire night. They made the day so easy and stress-free. We just recently got our proofs back, and I cried while looking through them all. They are absolutely beautiful. Bryan and his team captured all the love and happiness that our day was filled with. Bryan and his team are a must hire as no one can compare to the professionalism and quality of service you will get.
Pravada does an absolutely incredible job!! Bryan and Dana photographed my wedding and I am absolutely in love with the photos they took! They are very creative and come out beautiful. I highly recommend Pravada to anyone who is looking for someone to capture precious moments from their big day!!!
Absolutely AMAZING! Julie and her assistant Dana did an amazing job at capturing my husband and I's love on our wedding day. I would highly recommend Pravada Photography, not just for wedding photos, but engagement and newborn photos too.
I'm not even sure where to begin in writing this review - we LOVE Pravada!!! Meeting with both Julie and Brian was fantastic, calming, and quickly solidified our choice in a photographer for our wedding day. Brian and Dana were our photographers for the day of and neither one of them missed a beat the entire time! They were both so much fun, filled with great energy, and really fit into our group for the day! I was even surprised after the day, to find some really fun pictures of them in our photo booth album :) Both are incredibly professional in how they handle their work, and are so respectful of the bride & groom's day! Incredibly non-invasive, they were somehow able to capture every moment of our day & night, while hiding in the background and NOT at all being the paparazzi! After receiving our proofs (only 3 weeks after the day) I am floored with how beautiful they are!!!! I have been recommending Pravada left and right and will continue to do so for a long time to come! I am so excited to make our album with Julie and Brian - I'm just not sure how I am going to pick pictures with every single one being better than the last! A truly incredible job capturing our most beloved day - I feel forever indebted to Pravada for the magic that they promised & hands down, they delivered!!
I would recommend Pravada to anyone and everyone. Brian was absolutely AMAZING! He is the nicest, down to earth, and funny guy. He was so on point through out the day. Our wedding day was a scorcher, and he could tell everyone (including himself) was hot and sweaty, but he managed to keep everyone up beat and captured some amazing shots! I love my pictures, and I cannot wait to see my wedding video!
I cannot say enough great things about Bryan and Malory. My fiancé and I were super picky when choosing our photographers and being from NY, were considering paying a photographer to travel. When we found Pravada at a Bridal Expo in Wildwood, we spent a while talking to them before deciding to book after we got home. We aren't fans of staged photos and were very nervous about feeling awkward and silly. From the second Bryan and Malory arrived at the hotel, I felt as if we had old friends hanging out with us. Everything was natural and fun. We had a great time with them and we saw some of their photos throughout the day and were unbelievably impressed. They did a great job combining candid shots as well as posed (but NOT cheesy) photos. I can't wait until I see all the finished products. Love, love, love them!
I was really determined to find a photographer that took genuinely great pictures, that were "true". I hate HATE staged pictures and corny poses, Brian had authentic, beautiful and natural ideas. He went above and beyond to capture every moment. He worked great with my videographer who was through a different company. Everyone at the wedding talked about how professional he was. He showed up in a nice suit and took the time to adjust my complicated dress and cathedral veil with every picture. He was not intrusive, but always there. I couldnt have asked for a better photographer and would recommend him and Julie to anyone that likes natural authentic pictures of their wedding day.
Julie was great to work with and our wedding photos and engagement photos were AMAZING! We were so happy with the quality of the photos and the candid and professional shots Julie captured. She was willing to work with us in regards to our budget. We also got a guest book from her which looked awesome and got many compliments. We would recommend anyone looking for a photographer to check out Pravada and we will be calling them for any other events in the future!
Julie was our photographer and was exactly what I wanted. I loved her photos and then when we took our engagement pictures I knew it was going to be perfect. She made my husband relaxed and comfortable with taking pictures (normally he tenses up for pictures). She was also able to identify what worked for us. She was always willing to take any pictures we wanted but also came up with fantastic ideas. I definitely recommend booking Pravada for your wedding, you will have pictures that you want to look at for ever.
We used Pravada for Engagement Photos and also our wedding. We are located in Central NJ and he came all the way from South Jersey to do our engagement photos at one of our favorite parks. The quality of the pictures turned out great. The turn around for the photo album was very timely.
Words cannot describe how wonderful Pravada Photography is. Our photographer Bryan has a great personality and was very easy to work with. Photographs last a lifetime and I am so glad we chose Pravada to capture every memory of our very special day. Our fabulous engagement and wedding photos speak for themselves!
Julie was the ideal photographer. She was very familiar with the venue and knew exactly when and where to go and take great pictures. She stayed calm and collected the whole time. Throughout the ceremony and the reception, she was great about staying out of the way so we could just forget she was there! Very professional and I would definitely recommend her.
They are very professional and great to work with.
Brian is amazing! His work speaks for itself. He made us extremely comfortable to work with and was very down to earth. He can match many styles and has a great on-the-spot eye for things. When we were shooting I could see his wheels turning constantly. He continually looks for great shots and is always being creative. He delivers timely quality work. Cost here is b/c we used Pravada for Engagement Shoots, Day of Coverage and Video on our day. Fabulous!
Julie was great to work with and we love our pictures! Thanks to Julie and her partner we have great pictures of us and all of our guests as well as pictures of all of the little details of our wedding. We can't wait to see our album!
The team at Pravada is very accomodating. They really want to get to know the people who they're photographing, and take the time to do so. I felt as if they really cared about my event, and capturing both big and little moments. Our photographer, Fred, really loves what he does. I could tell he was excited when he found a unique background to use, and when he caught a photo of me and my husband laughing together when we thought no one was looking. Julie and Bryan, the owners, were always available to answer questions or give an opinion. They do great work with graphic design as well. Their prices were some of the lowest I've seen. They give you all the rights to your photos, and they provide you with every photo (not just the ones they think are the best). They aren't pushy, and didn't try to sell us anything. They simply show you their work, and you can puchase as much or as little of their services/products as you choose. They don't do much advertising..they prefer word of mouth, and personal testimony. They're a great team, and they do beautiful work. I plan on using this service again.
I could not ask for better wedding photographers. They were calm and collected and there to help with anything I (the bride) needed. They worked great with all our friends and family. I would recommend them a million times over.
We were recommended to Pravada from another bride and groom. After meeting with them once, we booked and never looked back. From the engagement session to the wedding day they were fabulous. The pictures are absolutely outrageously beautiful and they did a great job. The pictures were posted before we arrived home from the honeymoon and we are choosing pictures for the book only 3 weeks after the wedding. Great service!
We haven't actually received our wedding photos yet but I'm reviewing these guys anyway based on our engagement photos and our overall experience working with them. Julie did our engagement photos back in the spring time and my husband and I could not be happier with the way that they turned out. As two people who both consider ourselves to not be so photogenic we were so incredibly happy with the way that they turned out. Bryan was our photographer the day of our wedding and we had a sincerely good time just working with him that day! We're looking forward to calling them again for baby photos in a few years!
Pravada is an excellent studio to use for any occasion. Not only do they take pride in their work, but they step in WHENEVER needed. I never thought my photographer would be the one to pin on the boutineers or show me how to cut the cake. Phenomenal service, excellent quality and by far the best photographers around!
I used Pravada for my wedding! They are great! First of all they include a free engagement shoot in all of the packages and they give you a disk of all your proofs with the rights to them to print and use as much as you want! They give you the option to book the least expensive package and upgrade after your wedding. Regardless of what package you select you still get the same great full day service! Finally, the pictures and web design are amazing!! They make it stress free and easy. There is no rush when picking proofs for your album.
