Mackey Photo & Video

years! From just browsing his portfolio, I could tell how passionate he was about his work. And I knew we needed to book him right away! Pete truly is one of a kind and is so incredibly talented, it’s insane. His eye for perfection from finding the best light, the most amazing scenery, and precise attention to detail, are some of the many aspects that set him apart from other photographers. To top it all off, he is so accommodating and supportive. Just like many other 2020 weddings, we had to come to the decision to postpone our big wedding celebration until May 2021. However, my husband and I still wanted to get married so we had a small, intimate ceremony October 2nd. Pete was so supportive throughout this difficult decision and offered so much support and words of encouragement. We still had him capture our beautiful day and we could not have been more happier. He made sure to take shots of each and every moment . The turnaround time for the photos was so quick! My husband and I were absolutely in love with all of the pictures he took from our special day. I was just in awe of how beautiful they all came out! We truly cannot thank you enough Pete! We cannot wait to work with you again in May to create more amazing shots! Honestly guys, do not look any further for your wedding photographer. Pete is the one!!! You will not be disappointed!

ly! The photos turned out amazing and the best part - we got all the perfectly retouched and edited (100+) within 24 hours. Plus he’s a really great dude and was super easy to work with. So glad I found Pete - thanks again!

rked with us through the whole thing. We had Roger as our actual photographer for our ceremony and he was wonderful! He really knew what moments to capture and from what angles. Everyone that I show the photos to say you had an amazing photographer and he knew what he was doing! We received our photos a lot quicker then we expected and they were all wonderful! When we need photos done again we will be contacting Mackey Photo!!!

ed us how we met and what we like to do for fun. His excitement and genuine personality let us know right away that we wanted him to video our wedding. He has great attention to detail and is willing to go the extra mile. On the day of the wedding, one of our groomsmen said to Pete, “DUDE, I am LOVING your energy!”. That explains how we all felt about him. He even offered some advice to the bride and groom, making us feel more comfortable before we stepped out and got married. Pete helped make our wedding a great experience and we are excited to see our wedding video from his point of view.

o get to know the couple on the other side of the lens. Our family and friends still talk about him because he interacted with them too! Pete really has a creative eye, and it shows in his work. He's not just some guy with a camera. He's your friend who wants to tell the story about the best day of your life through photos!

this moment. Since it was a non-traditional wedding and we were grieving the loss of our dream wedding, we wanted a photographer who would help us capture the uniqueness of the day and help us embrace the strange situation with laughter. Pete accomplished this and more. His creative eye and artistic abilities are unparalleled. There isn't a photographer in the business who can inspire and create the shots that he did. He showed us photos along the way, which made us feel comfortable and confident. He kept in mind our insecurities and posed us in a way that looked best for us. Not only did he call out directions for poses, but he also set up moments for perfect candid shots that truly captured our emotions that day - he somehow even made us look nice during our ugly crying while exchanging vows. He kept us smiling and laughing throughout the entire day - taking funny pictures in the mix of serious, romantic ones. He brought such a fun-loving, high spirited energy that we had never experienced before in a wedding photographer. He was willing to get stuck in blueberry bushes and be bitten by various bugs to obtain the perfect shot. You will definitely be on an adventure during his photoshoots, which makes the day that much more memorable.

us and our family. From our initial meeting to creating our keepsake album Pete captured moments of joy, love and family. Working with him was easy and he understood that we wanted to enjoy the day. He meticulously scheduled a large (20 people) wedding party as well as family portraits. He was able to capture all the small details of our special day and its something that we can enjoy for a lifetime. I can't event put into words how the video moves me every time I watch it. From vignettes of our friends and family smiling and enjoying themselves to a moving edit of our very personal ceremony. Hands down Pete Mackey takes a personal approach to his work. We can't thank him enough to enabling us to live the moment of our wedding for years to come.

that we had to use him as a photographer. We did not realize that we would meet this amazing guy with a passion for the full picture when taking pictures during a special event. I couldn't imagine what going above and beyond was until the day of our wedding. He was by our side the whole time, from the beginning to the end, being a great friend that actually cared about what we were going through and what we were feeling, didn't even realize he was taking pictures. During this photo session it was incredible to see his ability to capture every moment from the best day of our life. Seeing it today was as if it happened all over again. I truly can't explain the pleasure it has been to have met Pete. He has no idea how much I appreciate all he has done for my family and me.

ired vendor. We laughed all day. Our photos and video have been getting nonstop raving reviews from our family and friends. BEST experience.

also all of the key family and friends. Absolute professional and friendly, calming presence to have around on the biggest day of our lives. I would recommend Pete without hesitation. Can't thank you enough!!

special day. Best experience ever!

ter. I knew right after that call, he was the photographer we wanted to hire. Mike and I felt like we had known Pete for years! His work speaks for itself, amazing in every way, but Pete's personality and approach is exceptional. From our engagement session adventure to our wedding, Pete was a true professional all the way! Every memory of our wedding was captured perfectly. Even our families commented how much they loved Pete at the wedding! Meeting with Pete to design our album was a great personal touch, and we are beyond pleased with the results. I would definitely recommend Mackey Photo & Video to friends, family, and anyone else looking for an exceptional photography experience.

bleshooting lost vendors, and Pete not only put me at ease but walked me through the process, step by step. He did not push. He did not upsell. He was just helpful and direct and clear in his communication. His pricing was completely transparent - and he was willing to work with us when our budget fluctuated. While we ended up only using his videography services due to our budget, I knew I didn't have to worry about anything video related because Pete was on top of it. The video we got was even better than I'd hoped -- and he even sent a thank you card with the raw footage. I am so, so grateful to have worked with this vendor, and I can't recommend him enough. A consummate professional.

mood of those days better than we could ever have hoped. Every time we take out Pete’s photos to look at, we are instantly taken back to the happiest days of our lives! What’s more, Pete is such a nice guy that during our wedding we all but forgot that we had only known him for a few days! We feel lucky to have such a wealth of stunning photos to remember our wedding, and just as lucky to count Pete as a friend!

ncorporated it seamlessly into hundreds of beautiful photographs. We just picked up our finished album this week, and it is something I will cherish forever, amazing pictures of our family and friends. Mackey Photo brought that touch of magic to our magical day!

d as our photographer, we definitely received more than we expected! When we came across Pete Mackey's work, we were immediately drawn in by his sense of realism, editing techniques, sophistication, and candid captured moments. Considering there are many photographers who can walk the walk but can't talk the talk, Pete Mackey can deliver both. As a potential client or as an official client, Pete will invite you to personally have you in his studio so that you can observe and check out his work that he has done with past clients. his studio is located on a nice modern strip of businesses and restaurants. His website speaks volumes as the videos of previous newlyweds are prime examples of what he and his team can provide. Pete Mackey is a family man, a father, a great communicator, an educator, a hard worker, and will totally give you the best personal experience that couples look for in his field of work. He is prepared, focused, and attentive to all the details needed to create the perfect moments. Our first time meeting him,we were met with open arms, as if we haven't seen each other in years, like old friends. This is the comfort level that most businesses fail to provide in the first few minutes. Pete delivered his experience to us, his values, his work ethic, and made us feel welcomed and it became a more of an intimate consultation. His readiness, willing to work with our needs, and confidence is what generated our decision to choose him as our photographer. Weddings are stressful enough, caterers, DJs, flowers, etc. Working with Pete was always a breath of fresh air. He was always accommodating to set up phone calls, skype meetings/ conferences, face to face studio visits, emails, etc. He always communicated with us at any given moment and time. If there were questions or concerns that arose, he would be quick to settle them. Communication is one of his biggest strengths. And he always validated our concerns with solutions. Now the BIG DAY, Pete Mackey and his team arrive at the venue early enough to start testing their equipment but show up with incredibly high spirits, like as if THEY were part of the family; AMAZING! They made their rounds introducing themselves and made my family and my wife's family feel at ease and immediately went to work. Throughout the course of the entire day, we didn't even notice they were around, but they did everything they were suppose to do and MORE! they join in the festivities here and there and it was absolutely welcomed with everyone! Post Wedding experience- We visited his studio 3 months later to check out our photo album and final wedding video. and O-M-G, the most phenomenal work i have ever seen! First off, he had coffee and breakfast snacks for us, always a plus. We spent a few hours to create the perfect album. He offered prices for albums and various styles. but still it was a personal experience, which most photographers don't do to this Pete Mackey is an artist. A real down to earth gentleman and knows how to treat his clients. This man is everything YOU NEED for your wedding or any other special occasion. Thank you Pete Mackey and thank you to your crew! Best, Frank and Stephanie Auriemma

photograph us in areas around town we chose. With Pete you will get all the things you expect when you pay for a quality photographer: great photos, a well-designed and customized album, clear communication and reliability. What sets Pete apart is his attitude and personality. You’ll feel his warmth and you’ll find someone that truly loves to create memories for your special day. All of our guests immediately felt connected and comfortable with Pete and he felt more like part of the family than the photographer for hire. Our guests talked about Pete for days and weeks and everyone felt they gained a new friend. Pete’s talent is evident and we have received so many compliments on the photos. He made time to walk us through photos and personalize our album at his studio in Stroudsburg, which allowed us to make sure our album was exactly what we wanted. Pete’s communication is great and he went above and beyond to travel to Brooklyn to share our day. He delivered on every commitment, was always responsive, his quality of work is great and he always took time to put us at ease and make our day smooth.

tography. Pete and his team fit our bill for many reasons. Of those many reasons, three things stood out that made us extremely happy with our decision to hire Pete. First, Pete personally invested himself in our wedding. From the time he spent getting to know us, to the pride and effort he put into our gallery reveal, it was evident that Pete truly wanted us to not only have the best photographs possible, but the best experience possible. Second, Pete was extremely easy to work with. I am a very particular person and somewhat of a perfectionist. There was never a task too big or too small for Pete to fulfill, and, most importantly, he never made me feel like I was bothering him or asking too much of him. In fact, my favorite experience with Pete was collaborating to design our album. Pete was not insulted when I wanted to make a few changes, and he bent over backwards to bring my designs to life. Our album is beyond amazing, and easily one of our most prized possessions. I have extremely high expectations, both for myself and for the people around me. Pete’s high caliber of customer service exceeded my expectations. Third, Pete is fun! My husband and I, along with our family and friends spent a lot of time working with Pete throughout our engagement and during our wedding weekend. He makes the photography process super relaxed and enjoyable. Our family does not refer to him as “our photographer,” but rather as simply “Pete.” Those three reasons aside, our photographs are phenomenal! Pete does a great job at getting the traditional wedding pictures, but his true forte is turning wedding photographs into cherished pieces of art. Our photographer was the hardest vendor for us to choose, but by far our best decision.

we experienced or missed. Our photos turned out better than we could have ever imagined! Our wedding video was also flawless! He did a wonderful job of capturing every meaningful moment. I can't say enough good things about him and would highly recommend him for your big day too!

usband, Kevin, WE MUST TRY TO GET HIM! So, I reached out. What I appreciated from day 1 is that Pete took the time to get to know myself and Kevin. I think we talked on the phone about 1.5 hours before we even booked officially- and we were even more hooked. Because he was personal, friendly, and genuinely interested in not only our vision, but as people. I work as a therapist so I’m all about feeling “connected” so this really jived for me. Pete worked with us to meet our needs- also super cool because that doesn’t always happen- and we were booked! We had a wonderful engagement shoot in downtown Easton, PA! Full of brews, brick facades, art, and laughs. I think we hung out like 4-5 hours. Our friends and family were already like BEST CHOICE EVER!!! And of course, the day of our wedding came- Sept. 15!- and I have to tell you all, I had 161 guests at my wedding and to this day, every one of them still talks about Pete and how incredibly “personable, professional, fun” and just straight up “talented” he was. Considering strangers are saying how personable, as well as nice my photographer was, I think that is one of the best compliments someone can receive. To be honest, I am not even doing him justice with regard to how much everyone raves (and obviously us). Weddings are tough and vendors can be too- however, working with Pete was not only enjoyable due to his super fun personality, but also a real pleasure to experience and benefit from his immense creativity, talent, and heart. Everyone should check out Pete Mackey for their weddings- simply because he is the BEST!!

ths prior to the wedding and asked him if he could help us put together pre recorded vows to be played during our first dance song. Pete didn’t hesitate, met us, recorded our vows, and made it happen. Neither of us heard the song until the moment we walked out onto the dance floor, but we trusted Pete and knew that it would be perfect (which it was). On the day of our wedding, Pete made us feel at ease. We felt like we were hanging out with one of our buddies. We laughed and joked with Pete and his team the entire day. We felt honored to have them as part of something so special to us. After the day was over, the only thing we had left to remember were pictures and the video that Pete put together. To say that we will cherish this video forever is an understatement. This video far surpassed our expectations, and we feel so lucky that we had hired Pete to share our day with us. 4 months after our wedding, Pete asked us to meet up for a beer. In his own spare time, Pete met with us, congratulated us, and wanted to hear details of our honeymoon. Pete is a great guy, and we feel confident that any couple will feel right at home with him, as we did.

d a fantastic guy who was just a pleasure to work with. From our first (2+ hour) phone call with Pete, his great attitude, sense of humor, and true desire to get to know us, our families, and our vision for our wedding was above and beyond our expectations. He was genuinely excited for us, and worked with us to come up with a package the met our needs and worked with our budget. When we met him for our engagement shoot, we knew we'd made a great choice AND a real friend - he made us so instantly comfortable and spent the day creating a HUGE range of beautiful pictures that totally captured us. He was flexible, easy going, and just a blast to hang out with all day (and well into post-shoot evening beers), and the pictures are amazing. By the time our wedding rolled around, he was a central part of the wedding and we couldn't wait to see him. He was a seamless part of the day, easily getting to know our families and bridal parties, working collaboratively with the other vendors, and keeping us relaxed, laughing and in the moment. It was a pleasure to have him there, and our comfort level with him shows in our beautiful, beautiful images. We got our completely edited set of images (about 1,000) less than 2 months after our wedding, spent an awesome evening designing our album over beers, and we'll have our completed piece in time for the holidays. We love every picture that he took, and they so vividly capture the day, down to the smallest moments and details. We are so, so impressed with the quality of work AND turn-around time, and could not be more pleased with our choice. Our pictures are truly the only part of our day (plus each other!) that we get to keep forever, and choosing a photographer we could trust to create those heirloom family pieces was really important to us. There are a lot of good photographers out there, but Pete's eye and talent, professionalism and fantastic personality put him in a class of his own. 15/10 recommend.

ation they are going to fabulous. We cannot say anything more than book Pete as your photographer. You will not be sorry!!! You won't need to worry about anything and will have a great day --- even when he asks if you will climb over a railing and down on a waterfall for portrait shots! Totally worth it!

photos was also really beautiful -- you can tell that he put a lot of care into making each picture into a work of art. In addition to being a skilled photographer and editor, Pete is also dedicated to learning and experimenting with lighting effects, which produced a handful of photos that were a little more artsy and whimsical -- so in addition to our many wonderful wedding photos, we also have a few unique and cool shots that I don't think we would have gotten from another photographer. On top of all that, Pete is just a really great guy. He is enthusiastic, fun and easy to talk to without being cheesy or annoying, and you can tell that he really enjoys his work. Our entire wedding party and even some of the guests commented on how awesome he was. If you need a wedding photographer, hire Pete Mackey NOW -- he's already getting booked up for next year!!

ing of the technical side to photography and it shows in his work. You can trust him to shoot beautiful photographs regardless of the scenario or lighting situation. He has both skill and talent. He is a true artist and an all around amazing person. I highly recommend Peter for all of your photo and video needs!
