Your search for your wedding photographer ends here! Pedro was better than we could have dreamed. He was so kind and accommodating, the company communicated well, and, best of all, the photos turned out beautifully. I have never felt comfortable in front of a camera, but Pedro put me and the party at ease. Thank you to Albany Capture!

I cannot recommend Albany Capture highly enough. Not only was Pedro exceptionally responsive to any requests that my husband and I had prior to our wedding day, but he was also an absolute dream to work with that day. We changed a few things up on the day and he rolled with all of our changes. Everyone in our wedding party felt extremely comfortable with him and they all were so impressed by how professional and approachable he was. I also can't thank Pedro enough for being calming to the both of us when we were so extremely nervous before walking down the aisle.
Not only was he a dream to work with, but the photos he took made us look like models. We're not great at getting our photos taken as a couple, but Pedro made us look absolutely incredible.
I HIGHLY recommend Albany Capture for any photography needs you may have.
Thanks again, Pedro!!

We greatly enjoyed working with Pedro. After our initial meeting, we knew we wanted to hire him to document our wedding. We talked through our vibe, photo styles, and ideas. Our package included an engagement session. As soon as we started our engagement shoot, we knew we had made the right choice. Pedro made us comfortable, brought positive energy, and was professional during both the engagement shoot and wedding day. We had a Mexican-Catholic wedding, and he knew which moments were important to capture during the ceremony and reception. We received beautiful, quality pictures within a reasonable time frame. Before the wedding, we met multiple times and he guiding us through the photo planning process. We highly recommend Pedro and will hire him in the future.

When we consulted with Pedro in our search for a wedding photographer, we learned very quickly that he was "the one" for us! Pedro is exceptionally professional, creative, and easy to work with. Photography became the least of our worries, and the result was hundreds of beautifully captured moments and memories we'll have for the rest of our lives.
With our wedding day package we also got an engagement session, which was our first time working with Pedro. Though it was a bit rainy and we were a little camera-shy, we had a great time! We had a few ideas of what we wanted, but Pedro made us feel comfortable and gave us some great ideas for poses and angles with the lake and downtown skyline behind us.
For our wedding day, we decided to work with both Pedro and a second photographer to capture as many moments as we could. They worked with us the whole day, from getting ready, our first-look at our favorite park, the venue, ceremony, and the reception. Again, Pedro brought his expertise and creativity, and made the photo sessions fun and relaxing for the whole group.
The whole day was a blur––as weddings go–-and we are so glad we chose Pedro to be our photographer. We would absolutely work with him again for future photoshoots!

We love our wedding pictures and video! And also love our engagement session photos with our furbaby in the honeycomb at Lincoln Park. Thanks Pedro and team for capturing these moments so we could relive the memories again for a lifetime. Pedro is professional and easy to talk to.
The photo and video package is an amazing value. The wedding day flew by! From getting ready in the morning to dancing in the reception in the evening, we can now relive the day through the pictures and video. At our request, we even got a short video with bloopers (which exceed our expectations). Highly recommend!

Pedro was the PERFECT photographer for our wedding. He answered all my questions extremely promptly, was professional and friendly throughout our wedding day, and worked within our budget. I didn’t have many ideas for specific pictures I wanted, so I was basically completely relying on him for poses, and everything is beautiful. The pictures are stunning! Hire Pedro!
