    Incredible

    We just got married on Saturday and wanted to shout out this company that made our day beyond special! Do not hesitate to use them! Each and every person was kind, professional, and wonderful at their craft. Our guests and us were mind blown with the pictures and same day edit. It was truly a movie! Since we are not used to taking so many pictures and videos, it could have been very daunting and awkward. However, my husband and I felt very comfortable and at ease due to how funny and easy going each crew member was. Trust is very important when wedding planning and that never wavered. Mike never hesitated to answer each and every question leading up to the big day. They made our day seamless and incredibly fun. Shout out to the amazing Mike, Steve, Dylan, Matt, Dan & Ryan!

    Beautiful pictures and more at great price

    Mike, Francis, and Joe couldn’t have done a more of a beautiful job the day of our wedding. Everything we asked for of them and requests of photos, they were able to fulfill with time to spare. They had a vision for the whole day mapped out for our photos and were able to get them done in a timely manner. Their professional and fast-acting nature helped paint a picture for how romantic and memorable the day was for us, and we can’t thank them enough for putting our memories out in a visual manner.

    Nothing short of Perfection

    If you are booking a wedding and looking for a photographer look no further then premier. From my engagement session to my wedding I could not have been any happier with the way things turned out. I was able to contact them On multiple occasions and they responded to me right away assuring me that everything was going to be just the way that it should and they did not disappoint. As a bride planning a wedding in such a hectic time this was one thing that I was completely confident about. Mike and his team go above and beyond to make sure your pictures are perfect. Mike placed my veil and bustled my dress when everyone else couldn’t figure out how. My same day edit was something out of a movie and the perfect way to top off the most perfect night of my life. I could not thank him enough for giving me the memories that I will have for the rest of my life.

    The Absolute DREAM Team!

    There aren't enough positive words to describe Mike's team! I wish I can thank them infinitely! Mike, Francis, John, Joe and Gonzo were all amazing and no matter how many times I'm sure they have done this, they all looked and spoke like they truly enjoyed every minute of it. They are truly the dream team and respectful to not only myself and my family, but to each other!! The way they work together shows through each and every picture!! From the prep work, the same day edit, and the actual pictures everything was amazing. The few pictures and same day edit we were lucky enough to have shared with us were breathtaking! The best of the best!

    Since day 1, Mike listened to what we wanted and needed and executed everything perfectly! My family tested his patience with timing here and there, lol, but he was patient and kind with every minute. My husband's immediate family did not speak English much or at all, but we were lucky enough to have Gonzo who was able to speak French. No better team. We will be hiring Premier for every important moment! Thank you so so much ❤

    Nothing less than PERFECT

    Brides your best wedding advice is this, hire Premier if you want nothing less than perfect on your big day. Mike and his team do not disappoint, Mike, Steve, Gonzo and all the others go above and beyond to make you laugh and feel comfortable on your day while capturing amazing moments. A huge shout out to what I like to call the BRIDES BABE, she is an amazing stylist and will make you look beautiful with her services from hair and makeup, while making sure your hair and veil is in its right place during every shot the crew gets of you. Last but not least do not cut yourself short and be sure to include the same day edit when booking, my guests were blown away and are still talking about it over a week later and may I add I have not been able to stop watching it myself. Brides don’t hesitate to book with this crew and you can thank them after, while giving the next bride a nothing less than perfect experience.

    You need these guys!

    Mike & his team are absolutely the best, without a doubt! They are all so skilled in their craft and it truly shows in the photos and videos. The same day edit is really like cherry on top because you and your guests are able to have a full watch of how the day went and it really is a great touch. We have watched ours a million times already and we only got married 4 days ago! Also, Mike was extremely helpful with advising times and making suggestions to have an effortless wedding and because of his help and patience we had the most flawless wedding. WE LOVE YOU MIKE, DYLAN, & THE WHOLE PREMIERE DIGITAL TEAM!!! ❤️

    Our Wedding: 7.12.21 @ The Park Chateau

    Where do I begin? Mike and his team are hands down the BEST in the business . I had gotten a taste of their talent for my engagement shoot so I knew that we were in good hands but the day of the wedding I realized that even more so! They captured some breathtaking photographs and the same day edit was OUTRAGEOUS! I still can’t stop watching . We received many compliments from our guests about the same day edit since it was played at the venue during dinner. They were wowed! Mike and his team are not only talented but they are also personable which is great since they are with you really the entire day of your wedding . Big shout out to Carley who assisted in making sure my dress was always adjusted properly. She even helped with my veil both before and after ceremony. This team is pure magic and I would highly recommend them! Love you guys !!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

    Victoria & Ricky

    Mike and his crew are the best there is. There is truly no comparison to their professionalism, talent and dedication to their clients. Mike & Carley were with us through the whole process offering advice on other vendors & wedding decisions that never even crossed our minds. Mike & his crew made us feel comfortable and at ease while taking our photos and it was extremely helpful. They even took the most amazing pictures of us with our ten week old puppy! I cannot express with words how happy we are with how our day, pictures & same day edit came out. All of our guests were beyond impressed with the same day edit! There is simply NO other choice for photography & video than premier digital weddings!!

    Absolutely amazing

    Mike and his team at Premier are absolutely phenomenal. Before we got married, we attended many of our friends weddings who used Premier, and it was always something we knew we wanted for our wedding. The team we had on the day of our wedding was absolutely amazing, it was like we knew them our whole lives. The same day edit alone is worth every penny. It lets you relive your whole day in 5 minutes. The work Premier does is above and beyond and I would highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for wedding day photographers.

    The best of the best!

    Premier Digital Weddings was one of the best decisions me and my husband made for our wedding! It was such a pleasure working with Mike, Carley and his whole team. Mike was extremely professional, accommodating and attentive throughout our wedding process, especially during the pandemic. He was so prompt with responding, offering help, and any planning tips we needed! This was a HUGE help and so appreciated. On our wedding day, Mike, Carley and his team somehow beat the already perfect expectations me and my husband had for our pictures and video that day. From giving the best directions to get the best pictures, to having patience with last minute changes, and including all our details that were spoken about during planning, they all helped to make the day run smooth and be the most special it can be. Mike captured such special, fun and intimate moments, we will have forever to look back on. Not to mention to the most AMAZING same day edit video, I still cannot get over how perfect it came. We watch it all the time!! Carley was wonderful, too! She added the perfect glam touch and an extra creative eye. Mike’s team was so sweet, and well organized – it was great! I highly, highly recommend using Premier Digital Weddings for your wedding day!

    Neil and Joanna

    Mike and his team up from Premier Digital did a fantastic job at our wedding. From beginning to end they were so professional and incredible to work with. They made our day so perfect and so much fun. They kept us so relaxed and organized on such hectic day. We couldn’t rave more about how amazing our same day edit came. We highly recommend Premier digital to anyone looking for a photographer/videographer.

    Premier is amazing! **

    Premier digital was the best! They were so professional from 10:30 in the morning to 10:30 at night. As a bride, they captured all my favorite moments and kept me calm all day long ! They understood our Halloween "vision" especially with masks and cool smoke bombs. If you love love to take pictures, want great pictures, and want to capture amazing moments like me, choose Premier. They were very patient with us. Our same day edit was insanely AWESOME and we continue to watch it every day! We definitely also recommend Mike Hotinski and Carley Paige! Carley is a great addition and necessity to the team. Carley helped keep me calm, fix my bang (when I sprayed myself with champagne LOL), and made sure all shots were perfect and ready to go! This team made the day so much fun and memorable ! We had a lot of laughs! My husband and I are so happy we chose Premier to capture our wedding ! We got back so many incredible pictures to choose from! Premier's THANK YOU's are so so cool! We received so many compliments on our pictures, same day edit, and Thank You's. We would love to do it all over again, especially with Premier :)

    Absolutely Amazing!!

    Premier Weddings is beyond amazing! We have been working with Mike and his team for over 4 years, through 2 postponed dates due to unforeseen circumstances as well as COVID and since the moment we contacted them they made us feel at ease in every step of the way. They were always there no matter what day or time to answer any questions we had or to provide a detailed response. Their service is the best around from the perfect engagement photo session to the most amazing photo and video footage on our wedding day, breathtaking albums, thank you cards and much more.. You name it they have it and we couldn’t have asked to work with a better team! Due to COVID-19 we took the chance to not wait any longer and they couldn’t be more accommodating. They captured every moment and you could never tell from the beauty of their work that we got married through this pandemic. We get to have the most amazing memories of our special day forever, more than we could have ever imagined and could not be more happy to have worked with them through it all! Our wedding was more than we could ever ask for, an absolute perfect day/night and we owe a big part of that to Mike and his amazing team! Plan your next event with Premier Weddings and it is guaranteed that you will be satisfied beyond! Thank you all for making our special day one for the books, we are forever grateful!

    Amazing! Dream Wedding!!

    I can not thank premier digital enough!! They went above and beyond to make everything about my wedding so special and perfect. They actually did my sweet 16 10 years ago and I came back for my wedding. They’ve absolutely blown me and my husband away with how professional, talented, and personable they are. I HIGHLY recommend them to anyone getting married. Our same day edit video blew everyone away, cannot stop watching it and showing everyone we know. They captured my husband and I perfectly. They are such a phenomenal and talented team.

    Best photo/cinematography around

    I had the absolute pleasure of working with Premier digital before and on my wedding day and they were nothing short of amazing. Mike is so professional and makes sure he and his team capture every single moment of your special day. I had the best time taking my pictures and did not have to pretend to smile once because the Mike, Carly and the team are so fun, making jokes and being goofy, they had me laughing and smiling all day! When I got my pictures back there was not ONE that I didn’t like. Premier digital is by far the best team you can have with you on your day and I HIGHLY recommend them!

    Overall wowed

    We met with Mike the owner of premier digital photography and for us I would like to say he is a very humble and understanding person and not to say that because this is his business. Mike told us he has been in the business for over 20 years and I have to say with all my research he is definitely top-notch. Mike sat down with us for over an hour and his patients I must say as a gift he went through every single detail and yes I know he is supposed to but he was far from pushy and literally painted a picture from our all “over the place” ideas . He made things very realistic and didn’t try to sweet talk anything and I didn’t even try to Upsell any package he ask you questions and give you a package that’s what you needed and if you asked for extra stuff he is willing to do it but he will be honest and tell you yes this is necessary or no this is just an extra expense whether you want to get everything you don’t have to buy the entire package before the wedding he offers upgrades for after the wedding so you don’t have to spend a fortune . My fiancé And I have met with five other photography Companies and Mike offer the best experience and such an exceptional package that was very very reasonable and excellent quality .

    Phenomenal Service

    Using Premier Digital was by far our easiest choice in planning our wedding! Everyone that works for them puts their absolute best efforts into each minute with you! Their talent is unmatched but more importantly the excitement they give you on your wedding day is the most incredible feeling. You don’t realize how much you will be with your photographer and videographer the day of your wedding and they truly made our whole wedding day feel like a dream! Mike, Steve, Carley and the entire crew were effortlessly amazing! They had everyone in awe with the same day edit! Our pictures are indescribable and we will forever be grateful for working with them! We cannot thank you enough for perfecting an already perfect day! We love you guys so much!!

    Fairytale wedding
