Preston Utley Photography

us and everyone in our wedding party feel comfortable. He really listened to what we were looking to capture on our wedding day and completely blew us away with his photos.

ding photographer. His creative and artistic spirit shows in each photo and only enhances his subject. He is PHENOMENAL. He is also wildly well priced for the kind of time and effort he puts into every aspect of what he does. Big big fan of Preston! Thank you thank you! -Anna & Tommy

her...in our research this was a hard find. Preston BLEW US AWAY! On the big day he was so easy to work with and made us feel at ease every step of the way. The pictures he captured were best in class. He sent us preview pictures and then when he sent the full album, we couldn't have been happier. Well above expectations. Preston is a PRO and a amazing human being. We HIGHLY recommend him.

aphy! Preston did a FANTASTIC JOB with helping to bring the vision we had for our wedding to life through his amazing photographs and slideshow! He is genuine, honest, and professional! We really appreciated Preston’s availability and correspondence response times throughout the wedding planning process! We were so blessed to be able to have Preston capture the special moments of our Special Day! Thanks a MILLION Preston! We HIGHLY RECOMMEND Preston Utley Photography!!

re happening. We cannot thank him enough for capturing all the details of our wedding day.

d someone who could capture spontaneous moments without being in the way. Having chosen to not go with any video (because let's be honest, no one ever wants to watch that...Photos are so much better at capturing the moment.) From the moment we saw Preston's work, we knew we were done searching. We met him at Book bar on Tennyson to chat and the chemistry was there from the first moment. He captures the moments as they happen spontaneously and never asks anyone to pose or gets in the way. In fact one of the things we noticed (and a lot of our friends who were present that day also noticed) was that they never seemed to remember seeing Preston during our ceremony but he got amazing shots from a multitude of different angles. Preston is a super nice guy, very easy to work with, a consummate professional and a master of his craft. My wife and I have already recommended him to several other couples in the Denver area and will continue to do so. Every time my wife and I look through the photos, we are flooded with nostalgia and love for that special day, and Preston absolutely did a phenomenal job in capturing it all.

o Preston by multiple friends so we were confident in his product, but the whole experience with him truly exceeded all expectations. Preston made a real effort to get to know us as a couple and provide a personalized experience. We had multiple meetings with him and he was very responsive to all of our questions. We had the pleasure of doing an engagement shoot with him, which was very helpful to allow us to feel more comfortable behind the camera before the wedding, and was nice to have professional pictures of us in everyday clothes. Preston choose scenic and creative locations for the engagement pictures, and we were able to use the great photos as a guest book at the wedding. Preston was very flexible with us and allowed us to make changes and upgrade our wedding package at the very last minute to allow for extra time, an additional photographer, and a wedding book. We were very happy with our upgrade, and the book turned out fantastic. He compiled the photos in such an artistic way that we would have not been able to do ourselves and used very high quality paper and cover. Preston was timely in editing our photos and we were thrilled with the gallery. He even sent us a thoughtful care package of prints after, which was such a fun surprise. We would highly recommend Preston's services to anyone getting married, it was a real pleasure and such a great value for the experience.

ve found a more perfect photographer - and we're excited to continue working with him in the future!

r search for the right fit for our wedding, his approach to photography was exactly what we were looking for. We wanted a documentation of the day rather than posed and unnatural photos. My husband and I are both a little goofy, and we wanted that to be seen in our photos, and we got that and so much more. He captured our day in complete beauty and perfection. Do your self a favor and hire him, I assure you that you will not be disappointed. We could not be happier with our photos, and hope that he does family portraits because I wouldn't trust anyone else to catch the moments of our lives better than him. Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts. Thank you

there. He captured our wedding in a way that has provided us with the narrative to the best day of our lives and allows us to relive that memory forever. For that, we could not thank Preston enough. Every moment he captured was authentic and beautiful. It doesn’t hurt that my wife is an absolute smoke show, but I digress. Preston is the best. He is super chill and you’ll want to grab beers with him after you meet him.

is amazing. Every photo he takes tells a beautiful story. We would highly recommend him if you want authentic and genuine candid photos that capture all the small moments that you cannot witness on your own wedding day. We would use him over and over again.

with Preston, it was obvious his personality and passion matched his talent. Throughout the wedding day Preston was attentive, but in a non-invasive way, making it so easy to work with him. He has the ability to capture moments and create a story unlike anyone I have seen. My husband and I cannot wait to see all of the pictures from our wedding and I know without a doubt that we will use Preston again in the future when we need family pictures. Do yourself a favor and hire Preston, he will excess your expectations.

nsanely easy to work with and his intuitive eye created amazing pictures and memories that we will forever cherish. Not to mention we had our pics back in just a few short weeks! If I could give more than 5 stars I would!

s to look back on and can’t thank him enough for all his hard work!

our crazy requests. He was definitely part of the family on our special day. Neither my wife, nor myself could have hoped for anything more than what Preston delivered. We will always be grateful for such a wonderful experience.

first, and he was able to make us look so good and natural, even when my husband and I were awkward. The best was the wedding! We ended up with such creative, classic photos. I was surprised to see some of them like my dress – it was just hanging in a hotel room, but the photo turned out amazing! He has a very unique camera selection, they are smaller so you never feel like there is a giant camera in your face and people hardly even noticed he was at the wedding because he was so discrete. He got us all of the photos back in less than 4 weeks. He is truly the best!!

ly took the time to listen to what we were looking for, and was a super down-to-earth person as well. He clearly communicated what his photography style was and pricing - there were no hidden "gotcha's". He also was very clear about communicating the timeline about when we'd hear from him before and after the wedding, and always stuck to his word. On the day of, he showed up on time, was really fun to hang out with, and we recieved numerous compliments throughout the night about how nice our photographer seemed! It was also a plus that some of our friends who are photography-savvy said that it really looked like he knew his stuff. When we got the photos, they just blew us away. We were a little bit anxious about getting just a couple of "good" shots, and Preston delivered hundreds of awesome photos! Make sure you check out his gallery so you know what to expect - Preston takes some more artistic looking wedding photos, but that's *exactly* what we wanted. Seriously, 100% worth the money - 10/10, would absolutely use Preston again!

ound during the chaos of the wedding day. His go-with-the-flow attitude was a perfect fit for our personalities. We are so happy with the beautiful images he created as well. An extremely positive experience from start to finish with Preston!

his photos. He also does a wonderful job of capturing those special surprise moments and capturing the feel of the wedding. It is worth every penny!

!! Can't wait to blow up some of the pictures and put them on the wall! Truly an amazing photographer!

able to capture our day. His photographs are unique and artistic - not the typical still-frames that you might see in any old bridal magazine. He sees the whole event through a captivating and creative lens, and truly tells a story with his photographs. My husband and I did not want a photographer who was going to shuffle us around and make us pose for pictures all day, and Preston was extremely respectful of that. He quietly captured the most beautiful, genuine moments and I am so grateful to get to look back on our wedding day through his lens. I cannot say enough great things about Preston - look no further!!

takes your breath away to see all these pictures of the best day of your life with Preston's view. He's also the most relaxed person on the planet, you hardly notice he's there but he is, and the day you get your wedding pictures back, I can say with 100% certainty - you will love what you see. Preston, THANK YOU, from the bottom of our hearts, for doing what you do so well and letting us relive our wedding day every time we look at our pictures!

captured our experience of our day, but deepened it. On top of his stunning photos, Preston was so personable, down to earth, respectful, and fun. His presence totally set me at ease. It was clear he was committed to getting to know us both as individuals and as a couple, and that really shone through in our images. We also got our photos back super quick! Hiring Preston was our biggest splurge and he was completely and totally worth it. Really, he's the best.

I were impressed by his ability to capture natural elements in addition to sentimental moments using a photojournalism style. He did this perfectly on our wedding day. The comment below about him being a "photo ninja" is 100% accurate. Preston caught things from beautiful angles that I'd missed in the bustle of the day's events. We also got our images back ahead of schedule; a sweet surprise! The gallery was easy to view, share, and download. The only problem has been selecting just a few favorites... there are so many we'd like to frame! We had a small, simple Monday wedding, but are very happy with our biggest splurge: hiring Preston. He captured our day perfectly, and we're very satisfied with the results!

ll. The photos were bright and so happy and it reflected the day so well. Preston is not the guy you want if you want boring very posed photos. He captured moments I never knew occurred. After the wedding when we were reviewing the photos we felt like we were there all over again and even lived some of the moments we missed. We are both so awkward and were so afraid of that coming off in the photos. The session we did before the wedding really helped us to become more comfortable. Preston was so easy going and took our requests in his stride. We have been complimented on our photographs since by guest, friends and strangers alike. Preston is one of the best decisions we made while planning our wedding.

d and I were a bit nervous about how to pick a photographer and how to seem natural in our photos. Preston immediately put us at ease. He's someone you'd want to grab a beer with and swap stories. In the end, we (friends and family included) could not speak highly enough about Preston and his work. We have recommended him to several of our recently engaged friends. I'll echo some of the other reviews below. Look no further, book Preston right now.

evels of comfort when it comes to being photographed and his personality really helped us to both feel comfortable. He included a lifestyle/engagement photo session prior to our wedding and he really seemed to pay attention to the nature of our interactions with one another. We just felt comfortable with being ourselves and showcasing our love... Preston was there to capture many moments, but my favorite was the moment I saw my husband cry for the first time; our first look prior to our ceremony. There's moments to pose and there are moments to just be.... he's great at capturing both. Treat yourself! You won't regret it!

ments that captured the natural moments of our special day, almost a photojournalistic approach. Reviewing Preston's website gave us that impression right away, but meeting him in person just added to his level of professionalism & raw talent. Preston took the opportunity to get to know us through our initial meet up, through email, our engagement shoot, & drinks prior to our big day. He was very well organized at each stage & ALWAYS made us feel like we were in good hands. While we wanted him to capture our wedding in his own style, he took diligent notes to capture what was important to us. Not just specific shots, but he picked up on mannerisms, what makes my wife blush, & how she actually get me to smile. When it came to our wedding day he dressed the part & was a great sport with all of our guests, even when an older uncle decided to jump into some of our shots capturing his own photos with his iPad. Preston had a very professional crew & was able to capture each moment that made up our special day. His artistic approach captured different feels, tones, & emotions in the photos he captured. We interviewed a number of different photographers, but wouldn't choose anyone other than Preston if we had to do it all over again. He's talented, professional, courteous, sneaky funny, & an all-around pleasure to work with.

for us - he is so easygoing and creative. He covered all the bases - and his work is phenomenal. The artistry and composition, the light, editorial vision, and the feeling that comes out of his photos is unparalleled. We cannot recommend him enough.

ad. :) I highly recommend you take advantage of the engagement session along with the wedding. It's a great opportunity to get to know the photographer and become comfortable with being in front of the camera.

ved working with him.

ninja -- he was everywhere at once but we never really noticed him. We actually enjoyed our time taking our post-ceremony photos with Preston and his second photographer for the day. They were fun. We are both so happy we were able to work with Preston for our engagement and wedding photos -- he is incredible, he does amazing things with photography, and he manages to capture the important, real moments.

ooks together. He works fast and is a professional photographer!

t he does a great job capturing the story of the day.

ley@yahoo.c om(720) 280-4797 Preston is an incredibly talented photographer that is very professional and easy to work with. I would recommend him to ANYONE!!! We decided to be thrifty with our budget except for the photos, and I think our photos are worth twice what we paid Preston for them. I found him through Julie Harris, another wedding photographer in the Denver area. (Also AMAZING!!!) I originally wanted Julie as our photographer because I loved my friends wedding photos so much that she took, but she was a bit out of our price range. She was nice enough, however, to sit down with me and help me sort through other photographer's websites to help me find one that we would be happy with. Preston happened to stop by while I was there to give her some files and she showed me his website later. He works as a second shooter for Julie a lot so she knows him pretty well. When you look at his photos up against other photographers we were considering, there was no contest. He is a truly talented individual!! In a couple of years, I could see his prices doubling easily because you can just see in his photos that he has a talent that is head and shoulders above his competition. He's very humble too. He's won a handful of very prestigious awards but I wouldn't have known that if Julie hadn't told me and I hadn't seen the photos on his blog. If he's available, book Preston as your photographer and I promise you will be as happy with your photos as we are!

pturing the moment, capturing the story of the day. I can't wait to see the final results!

and very few of our guests have their pictures with him in them :) We have had so many complements on how great our pictures turned out and I coldnt agree more! He was so creative and did a great job capturing the day exactly how it was. I would (and have) highly recommend him. Your pictures are the only memory you will have of the wedding so make sure the photographer is superb
