Dino is the best of the best when it comes to Wedding photography. It was no question that we were going to choose Dino, and we knew he would do a great job. Somehow he even exceed...
ed our expectations. He got several shots we didn’t even know we wanted, but came out AMAZING! He comes up with great ideas to go above and beyond your classic wedding portrait photos. We can’t recommend Dino enough!
Gino and his son Gino Jr. were outstanding as always. No surprise to me how great they did considering the years of experience. They made the day fun & enjoyable and now we will ha...
ve memories for a lifetime. Thank you both.
Dino has an eye fir the best shots- he gets in the zone and sets everything up so naturally- his photos are breathtaking. I wouldn’t have anyone else do the photography. He is the ...
best of the best.
We are so lucky to have had Dino capture our big day! We cannot say enough wonderful things about Dino. He is so creative, reliable, and such an awesome person to work with! His so...
n as his second shooter was also a great experience. Both Dino & son captured our engagement shoot & our wedding - they have such amazing talent, and Dino's creativity is unmatchable. His skill is so unique, and his photos prove that. He is so easy to work with, and such a kind person. He is always in the best interest of his couples, and will go above and beyond for them. Dino takes such pride in his work, and his talent is incredible. You will not be disappointed - hire him for your day, or engagement shoot!
One of the best choices we made for our June wedding. We were connected with Dino through a good friend, and both myself and my husband worked with him the year before as members o...
f the bridal party at her wedding. We were so happy with that experience that we decided to book Dino for our wedding as well.
Dino and his assistant Bethany arrived on-time (actually, early) and were extremely professional. The two of us don't love being photographed and he made us feel so comfortable and relaxed. He is direct, reassuring, and his eye never stops scanning for the best shots. Both of our families raved about him afterwards.
So far we've only seen our sneak peaks, but we couldn't wait any longer to write this review. If our shots are anything like the ones from the wedding we were in last year, then he is worth all 5 of these stars and then some.
Dino's experience and artwork should speak for itself. But the passion he has for what he does cannot be summed up in these reviews. Stop looking for someone better, they aren't out there!
Working with Dino was 100% an amazing experience. We are so happy with him and Chris. They were so fun and easy to work with the day of the wedding. Then, we received our pictures ...
quickly and they came out so great! I can't brag enough about Dino!
Dino Petrocelli was amazing - very easy to work with. The non-typical (and typical) shots he was taking were great! Our guests all thought our videographer (Fyvie Films) and Dino...
's team were all one big team. They all worked so well together. My daughter picked the best vendors!!!!!!!!
My bridesmaid and life long friend told me the day after I got engaged “You HAVE to hire Dino!” I laughed and said ok sure I’ll take a look - and one of the best decisions we made ...
in the wedding planning process was to hire him. He is a true professional, and his work speaks for itself. He is also so much fun to work with! We had a wedding in Lake George on New Year’s Eve on the coldest nights of the year - he didn’t even flinch and was excited about the cool shots he was getting all day, even after 12 hours of being with us!!! We went to Mexico afterwards for our honeymoon and our pictures were ready, which blew our minds! Admittedly, it’s now July and I haven’t gotten through all of them yet because they’re just all so good!!! We highly recommend Dino, thank you for being so amazing!!
We are so beyond happy we chose Dino to be our wedding photographer! Throughout the entire time we worked with him, including 2 photo shoots, Dino was nothing short of amazing. He ...
was extremely professional, friendly, responsive, flexible, he provided the best price value, and even went above and beyond for us - our engagement photo shoot was at the Saratoga Race Track and he got us in to the back private stable and trainer area so we could get the most amazing pictures right next to the horses and in front of the starting gate. Then after our December wedding, he got the pictures back to me on a flash drive 4 days later so I could use them for Christmas gifts! I couldn't believe how quickly he got them back to me! Oh, and they were also the most beautiful pictures; everyone I show them to compliments them! I'm having a hard time deciding which ones to pick for an album as they are all so good! After the wedding, I got nothing but compliments from friends and family about Dino - during the wedding they observed how hard he worked, that he was always taking pictures, and was very inconspicuous. I can attest to that as I have some candid pictures that I don't even remember him being nearby for! He really was able to capture every special moment and get all the shots I requested. I would HIGHLY recommend Dino Petrocelli as your wedding photographer!
Not only are his photos beautiful, but Dino is so much fun to work with! He makes everyone comfortable, which is so important to making the pictures great. He makes sure to talk ...
to you to know what you want, and is able to offer great advice about shots, locations, and any other questions you have. I would recommend Dino's wedding photography to anyone!
My husband and I had a wonderful experience working with Dino this past weekend(9/24/16) for our wedding and last summer for our engagement shoot! He helped keep everyone relaxed t...
hroughout the whole thing, took amazing photos and we can't wait to get them back!! We can't wait to show everyone the pictures. We highly recommend Dino to anyone who is getting married. Thanks again Dino! You were amazing!!!! Joey & Nicole DeMarco

n't be happier!
I knew the moment I looked through the first album of Dino's work that I came across that I wanted him to help capture our wedding day. Dino is a true professional and I greatly a...
ppreciated that he was able to tell us and our wedding party how he wanted us positioned to get the best photos possible. I was not stressed out about the photography aspect of the wedding at all once he got started shooting, we just followed his lead and it couldn't have gone smoother. He directed us with ease and I knew he was capturing all the moments we wanted to look back at and all the moments we missed! We can't wait to get our album and we are so happy with all of the photos we have to remember our special day including the candid moments caught by Dino and Lori.
Dino and Laurie, his assistant, did an amazing job with our engagement and wedding pictures. They were very laid back and easy going, which was good cause we ran behind schedule al...
l day! We could not have asked asked for a better people to work with!! I would definitely use him again!!
Awesome photographer! Great pictures! Would highly recommend him!
Dino and his crew are fantastic! They are very professional and the pictures are amazing!

what he is doing and it shows in his work. He was so much fun to work with and we love our pictures! Thank you so much! If you have the opportunity to get Dino as your photographer, you will Not be disappointed, the unique shots that he gets are awesome!
Dino was amazing. I couldnt be happier. He was very professional and personable. He has an eye for seeing things, lighting, architecture, solors etc that is unlike anything ive eve...
r seen and he is sooo easy to work with. He made our day so fun. I kept wondering, after everything was over, "i wonder if he got a shot of this" or "was dino ere when that happened?" .... Sure enough, as joe and i went through the 2000 shots....dino was there! Amazing! He capyured all of the laughs and smiles and hugs and everything BeAUTIfULLY! And his simple instructions during our shoot together like, "look up" or, "keep your head there, tilt it down just a little" etc were SPOt ON! He and his assistant Lori are an amazing duo. So pleased. And very very fairly priced as well. If i could have known how happy wed be with the results ahead of time, we would have probably paid even more! Its easy to dismiss reviews that have 5 stars across the board as not being taken seriously but if there were 10 stars, id have given him 10. Dino really is the best! Anything you need, he can do it. At no point during the time we worked together dis i ever worry or feel nervous about the photography. AND A HUGE THANKS for Dino going around to every table at my request and taking table shots. Some photographers arent happy to do this but dino made it happen, made it easy and made it fun and im sooooo glad we did it :) thank you so much!!!
we worked with Dino for our engagement photos and for our wedding. Our engagement photos were amazing and have no doubt that our wedding photos will be even better. We don't even h...
ave our wedding photos back yet because we just got married, but Dino was so great to work with that I feel comfortable giving a stellar review without even seeing the photos. Since photos are one of the few lasting elements from our wedding, we knew we wanted to get the best. Dino is the best!
Dino's shots were amazing! He showed up early and stayed until the very end. He took almost two thousand pictures that were out of this world!! He had a great way of being everywhe...
re but never in the way.
he is awesome great pictures, great personality
I used Dino for my March 2012 wedding and he was amazing. He brought a second photographer, as well as an assistant, so we were able to get all of the pictures that we wanted. He...
did a great job of using the beautiful venue that we were at and took many pictures all around the grounds. He also did an excellent job of taking uncandid shots throughout the night, but we never felt like he was intrusive. I highly recommend him if you want fantastic pictures throughout the entire day!
Dino is fantastic all the way around. He is incredibly and amazingly talented with an unmatched eye to capture "just the right shot." His professionalism, flexibility and dependabi...
lity made working with him a pleasure, despite the incredibly stressful time in my life.
On the day of my wedding, of course we (the girls) were all behind schedule. I knew there was a laundry list of photos I wanted taken. I looked up at Dino through the arms of the make up artist applying lip gloss, the hair stylist pinning my veil, and my mother clasping my necklace and asked him, "How late are we?"
He calmly looked down at his watch and with a relaxed tone and a smile he said, "Well, we have an hour to get it done. Let's go do it."
Over the next hour, I watched in awe of his organization and ability to corral a full wedding party, parents, siblings, and friends into the most creative shots while getting us to the ceremony early!!! The best part was that he made it all fun and so relaxed while getting the job done.
Through the ceremony and the reception he captured so many wonderful shots, but amazingly as I look at the photos, I can't remember him taking them! He was invisible even with a lighting assistant and second shooter. Never once did my guests or my husband and I ever get the "camera in your face" feeling. As invisible as he was, he often asked for my input and I had complete confidence that he was catching all the important moments whether I was there for them or not!
Even after the wedding when we were on our honeymoon, he was just as responsive to me as he was when we first signed the booking contract. He sent me sneak peeks of wedding pictures within days!
In hindsight, our wedding day came and went like hurricane and I realize all we have left are pictures to document the electricity of the day. When we celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary, we can look at the pictures Dino took and, again, really feel those slices of time with our closest family and friends that may no longer be with us. This is priceless, yet the cost is fractional for what we have in return.
I recommend Dino Petrocelli only to those seeking once-in-a-lifetime moments captured with all of the vibrance of emotion, and the creativity of someone truly passionate about his work.

Dino is the best wedding (and motorcycle) photographer! We were so honored to have him at our event, and fully trusted him to capture all of our special moments. Dino and his staff...
were on time, ready to work, and didn't miss a beat all day. He has creative photo poses as well as traditional. Really comfortable to be around and a true professional. Thanks again Dino!
Great pictures and such friendly people! Definately keeping with the times! Would love to do business for family portraits someday :)
You certainly get what you pay for with Dino Petrocelli Photography. Dino did our engagement pics as well as our wedding pics. He is very talented. Him and his crew are wonderful a...
nd the pictures are just amazing. Unlike some photograqphers... He will give you discs of your pics and you have the rights to all of the pictures he takes. In addition, he makes one of a kind albums. The value was pricey in my opinion, but I did recieve a free album due to attending a bridal show where I met him. He is a great guy and makes you feel comfortable... One Amazing Photographer!
ease to work with artistic style didn't notice he was there after the posed pictures were finsihed;Don't be put off by his website. he is amazing!!!
