Peter Rigo Photography

rise! Before the wedding, he created a very detailed timeline for us that helped ensure everything ran smoothly and on time. We just received the final wedding pictures and we absolutely love them! Again he went above and beyond - we are so happy with all the photos! Peter really understands how to capture the happiness, excitement, and love that we felt on our wedding day. I was personally very nervous throughout the day but he reminded me to stay calm and always made sure I didn’t appear nervous or tense in photos. Everything - from the portraits to the ceremony to the reception - were captured beautifully by Peter. We had limited time in the ceremony space to take pictures before the ceremony (we wanted to take pictures there beforehand because it would have been dark afterwards) and Peter did an amazing job using that time as efficiently as possible to take the best photos without wasting time, which really proved his professionalism and expertise. Before switching to a different picture location (for example from getting ready to the first look to the ceremony space to the end of the night), Peter checked in with us to make sure we had done everything we wanted to do, to make sure we didn’t miss any moments. He was thoughtful, patient, prepared, lively, and so kind throughout the whole day and the whole process. We are so appreciative of and impressed by everything he did for us. Looking at all of our photos makes us so happy we chose Peter to document our big day!

e not in the picture, creating the perfect setting, telling people how to stand and what to do to look good in pictures, including small things like asking people to take things out of their pockets). He was very friendly and funny (slightly "dad jokes" type of humour, but we had a laugh anyway), creating a nice atmosphere on an otherwise busy and stressful day and was happy to switch between languages since we had a mixed bag of guests and wedding party. We received our first set of highlight pictures incredibly soon after the wedding was finished, so that we can share with our friends and family and pick a picture for thank you cards - everyone was really impressed with the speed. And most importantly - we had a huge amount of people telling us that the photos look amazing, absolutely magical, professional, we are extremely happy with the result and we still keep scrolling through the pictures. So thank you for everything, and we absolutely recommend Peter to anyone who wants a great experience and magical pictures!

unt of time with on our wedding day - because the photographer is always there! I was delighted at how much Peter just felt like an unobtrusive friend the whole day. Even our guests told us how much they enjoyed him and his presence! Not to mention that the photos were beautiful and delivered quickly after the wedding. I also really appreciated that Peter sent a small sneak peek just a day or so after the wedding, because we couldn't wait! I would recommend Peter and work with him again in a heartbeat.

create my timeline for the wedding day & was so great in capturing all of the perfect moments the day of. My bridesmaids still can’t stop raving about how much they loved him. Aside from being so friendly & easy to work with, his photos are absolutely stunning!! I couldn’t be happier with how my wedding photos turned out. So if you are looking for a wedding photographer look no further and reach out to Peter!

he wedding, he was both professional and candid, providing suggestions and recommendations for poses and set-ups that turned out beautifully in the final products. Also - so flexible and friendly!! The photos from our wedding are gorgeous and easily accessible to download. I would absolutely hire Peter again!

in gently coaching us how to pose, listened to our wants, and found lots of stunning places around the city to take pictures in. We only heard amazing things from our guests about Peter as well, he captured all of the special of our day in a way that reflected our taste and style. We would definitely book Peter again!

Aside from gorgeous pictures, he is such a wonderful person to work with. He is so kind, patient, and relaxed unlike some other photographers I've worked. He really helped put me at ease on the wedding day and with planning during a pandemic. I can't wait to get the rest of my photos back because the few I have so far were so beautiful they literally made me cry! Thank you so much Peter and team. I wish I could hire you again but I only plant to get married once lol 😆

e of people who enjoy to pose or take many pictures of themself, and I always considered myself very unphotogenic. However that all changed the moment Peter arrived. He had created a very relaxed & fun, but professional atmosphere, and made us, our parents, and everyone in the wedding party feel very comfortable with the photoshoot. I would never think we will end up having such a beautiful and elegant photos from our wedding day as we did! Additionally, Peter is very organized and had a great patience with some of our unruly guests :D. Thank you Peter!

ew and they are more incredible than both of us could have imagined! We have nothing but amazing things to say about Peter. Do not hesitate to use him for your wedding or special event!

ography and editing and Yan did the business related aspects (the contract and payments). Both of them were super professional, friendly, and very responsive to our questions. I really appreciated that we were able to plan the aspects of our wedding via email with them because we were planning our New Jersey wedding from out of state. Peter was only an email away whenever I had a question. Our engagement session was super fun and I couldn't stop smiling and laughing throughout the day. It feels like you're meeting up with an old friend when you work with Peter. I had such a great time despite the wind and the chilly temperature during our shoot. The photos that we got back were amazing quality and we had so many great ones to share with our relatives. We got them all back in a super timely fashion too, which was great! Peter was such a joy to work with on our wedding day as well. He goes above and beyond to make sure his clients are happy. He ended up showing up early in the morning and stayed with us throughout the day until the cake cutting and bouquet/garter toss at night time. It was great to be able to spend our entire day with him, and I am so grateful that he dedicated that much time to our wedding, especially since we had a bit of a gap between our ceremony and reception. It was so much fun taking photos with Peter, and I'm really happy that he let us do some of our own silly and non traditional ideas for bridal party and bride/groom photos. It was great being able to do something to make my wedding something special and different from the norm, something that fits with my husband and I's quirky personalities. The photos that we got back from our wedding were simply amazing. We got so many great ones and all of them were ready a few weeks after our wedding. I am so happy that we reached out to Peter to ask him to be our wedding photographer. We have amazing memories to look back on thanks to his fantastic work. He's one of the friendliest and personable photographers I've ever met. If I had to do it all over again I'd hire him in a heartbeat.

ase throughout the entire process. We were so happy that we selected him to capture our amazing day and he truly did an awesome job. Pictures are one of the only things you will have to remember your day by and Peter will be able to do exactly that. My husband is a photographer himself and was very impressed with Peter's skills and photography equipment.

able and stress-free. We didn't really have a vision of what we wanted- which actually worked out really well because Peter was able to just do what he does best and capture the most incredible pictures! We had such an amazing time working together that we felt like he was a part of the family before the ceremony even ended! We will be forever grateful to Peter and his assistant for giving us such beautiful memories to look back on!

ments on the pictures and could not believe we all could look so good! Besides being great day-of he was responsive before and after the wedding for questions or any concerns. I highly recommend Peter for anyone who is planning their wedding!

o him. Peter is so passionate about what he does and made sure to go beyond every shot we wanted. The flow through out the entire day was seamless and wedding moments were spotlighted, but the focus always remained on the love everyone in that room felt through the images. Peter was incredible at giving us the direction we needed. His dedication to his job and pleasing us was evident. His attention to detail was incredible and he made our entire day so easy and enjoyable.

s. He was very responsive and full of ideas, but at the same time keen on understanding our vision, taste, and dynamics. Depending on your preferences, Peter can either play an active role organizing the setup, or a passive one by simply being a documentarist of the event. He is a very relaxed and patient person, always with a smile on his face. His positive energy was somehow also transposed on us I guess, we felt very comfortable having him around. He loved to work outside in different environments and was excited about our ideas for a setup, but I really recommend to let him set his vision free and create his story of your day. You won´t regret it! He truly has an eye for getting cool shots and capturing emotional moments. Also the postproduction went really smooth, and the pictures ….. see for yourself! (http://www.peterrigo.com/) We love it! We definitely recommend him and MEMO agency. They´re just great!

derstanding our vision and aesthetic. He corresponded with us by email and phone before the wedding to make sure that he had an idea of all the shots we wanted to get, and he suggested a really helpful timeline for the day. On the day of the wedding, he was early and went right to work photographing all my detail shots (shoes, earrings, etc). He has a great way of setting up the shots then working so stealthily that you can still be natural and have a good time. He got amazing shots of me coming down the aisle and my husband's face when I came through the church doors. We joked afterward that Peter is some kind of magician, because we have these amazing shots that are clearly taken from all different places, but you don't really see him moving around. We loved that he was excited to do some outside shots even though it was 40 degrees and windy. Some of our absolute favorite pictures are the outdoor shots we took on the waterfront in Hoboken at magic hour with the New York skyline in the background. Peter didn't have an assistant that day, so he was working twice as hard moving lights by himself and changing lenses, but he stayed in good spirits and was super energetic all day. He really captured the spirit of the day, and we treasure our pictures so much! Thank you Peter!
