    Best photographer in the 518!

    Dino Petrocelli is very knowledgeable about nearly every venue in the capital region. He asked where I wanted my first look and I left it all up to him because I knew I could trust his thorough experience. He has done beautiful work for us in the past but he absolutely blew us away with our wedding photos - he captured such genuine happiness and love all with a perfect backdrop in every photo. These photos are something we will cherish for the rest of our lives and we are so grateful we chose Dino to help create these memories for us. Thank you for everything, Dino!!

    I highly recommend Dino for wedding or any other type of photography - there is no one else out there like him!

    The Best Around!

    Dino was our photographer for our wedding and our engagement photos. He was incredible to work with, very responsive, and patient! The photos came out beautiful, he is so talented. He added such spunk to our wedding, we wouldn’t have it any other way! We highly recommend Dino for all your photo needs.

    Best Wedding Photographer in the Capital Region

    This past weekend was the second family wedding that Dino photographed for us. I can't say enough good about him. He is amazing. He is a very nice person and easy to work with. The quality of his work and his creativity with photography is beyond compare. Some of the photos from our first family wedding that he did, looked like magazine covers. Everyone wanted to know who the photographer was. We can hardly wait to see the photos from this weekends wedding.

    Dino is incredible

    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 son 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!

    Amazing experience!

    Dino was the absolute best choice for our wedding! He was easy to work with, reliable, professional and creative. We were so happy with the quality and quantity of our pictures and couldn’t believe how fast they were ready! I am so happy we chose Dino and highly recommend him to other brides who want a smooth experience and one less thing to worry about!

    Picking Dino was one of the best decisions we made!

    I cannot say enough wonderful things about hiring Dino Petrocelli as our wedding photographer! Not only is Dino a fantastic photographer, but he is also an incredibly kind, generous, and humble human being. Dino made our wedding photography experience amazing. He listened to our vision and got exactly what we were looking for in our photos. We loved every single shot he took and trust me that you will not be disappointed with the work he does. Dino goes above and beyond to ensure that you get the best quality photos for your wedding. We got married on 11/10/18 and we really wanted outside shots in downtown Albany; however, the weather did not cooperate with us that day and it was extremely cold and windy. Dino and his second photographer, Bethany, made sure we got some beautiful outside shots. However, the extreme weather conditions made being outside unbearable and Dino and Bethany were wonderful about switching up our plan last minute and finding another location (indoors) to get the rest of our wedding photos. Dino truly is the best in the business and is incredibly affordable for all that comes included with his package. Choosing Dino as our photographer was one of the best decisions we made and I assure you that you will not be disappointed if you choose him. I cannot thank Dino enough for capturing our day in such a beautiful way!

    We are so, so happy we went with Dino. Both he and his partner, Chris, were so easy going and fun to have around on the day of our wedding. We live out of state, so he was also able to work with our schedules to meet and squeeze in an engagement shoot the same week! We are more than thrilled with the way the pictures from both days came out. I also believe he is more reasonably priced than others in the area for amazing quality work. So happy, 100% would recommend!!

    Dino's photography is unmatched. The different shots he is able to capture are amazing. Easy to work with in advance and on the day of the event. Would recommend him to anyone!

    Dino is awesome! His photos are amazing and he is great to work with. My wedding ceremony was suppose to be outside but due to weather we changed the ceremony to inside about 2 hours before. Dino was very flexible with the changes and even stayed a little longer to make sure we were able to have some outdoor photos once the weather cleared up. He also offered a lot of great suggestions and gave good direction. I would highly recommend Dino, he takes pride in his work and cares about his clients!

    Choosing Dino as our photographer for our wedding day proved to be one of the best decisions we made during the whole process! We received our pictures, with a release, not even two weeks after our wedding and we can't get over how amazing they are. Dino was able to capture our day in ways that we couldn't even imagine until seeing his finished work, including capturing the emotions of us and our friends and family, which you can feel when looking at the pictures. So many of the moments that Dino captured bring tears to my eyes and I will cherish them for years to come.

    Dino was very helpful in the planning process - we met with him to discuss how the day would go and what he would need from us in order for things to go how we wanted them. My husband and I felt very strongly about having our formal pictures done before the ceremony so that we could enjoy our cocktail hour with our families and Dino made that happen. He told us to prepare a list of the pictures we wanted and he got through them all before hand.

    Dino, and his assistant Chris, were amazing the day of our wedding and captured all of the special moments that we hoped for and more! A guest at our wedding approached me in regards to Dino and asked "Where did you find this guy? He is great - he is everywhere, getting everything!" We highly recommend Dino Petrocelli!!

    Dino is out of this world! A true professional and master at his craft. First, we had a really large bridal party. I had 10 bridesmaids, 2 jr bridesmaids, and a flower girl. My husband had 11 groomsmen and a ring bearer. Dino was able to organize all of us, get the pictures we wanted, and keep us to a strict timeline. Later in the night he noticed the sky was perfect and he grabbed us immediately and designed the perfect photo shoot. He was so cooperative and allowed me to ask for a million different photos. He also had his own ideas and the pictures came out incredible. We had our pictures with in 2 weeks of our wedding. Everything about them was perfect, and he really captured all the special moments of our day. I couldn't be any more thankful that we hired him to shoot our wedding on July 14th, 2018 and I would have no hesitation to recommend him to anyone I meet!

    1. The initial meeting- He was very flexible with the price and also other options (opt out of a photo album). He said "You're my boss from now until the end of your wedding night." and let us decide what we want to do. His office/studio was very cool to visit to see his other works as well.
    2. Leading up to the day- As newbies to the whole wedding stuff, Dino asked us probing questions so we can think of how to set up our day, and what other stuffs we needed to do (i.e. getting hotel for the preparation shots, and etc) He asked us to provide him a list of people we wanted to take pictures with and being the procrastinating and indecisive couple that we were, Dino never got the list, but still he and his staff made it work.
    3. The day of. Both my husband and I are awkward in front of a camera but Dino made us feel comfortable in posing. Pre-wedding pictures were taken outside at various locations and he and his team lugged around all of the equipment and met us at different places.
    4. During the wedding- he disappeared. (in a good way!) I did not know where he was during the wedding ceremony and was able to focus on what was happening -- spoiler alert, he was EVERYWHERE. The pictures he gave us proved that he was everywhere but in such a stealthy way!
    5. Wedding night- He pulled us aside and said "Now is the time for night shots" and asked us to come outside. Side note: My husband is also interested in photography and according to him, night shots are very hard to take and make it look good but when he saw Dino's previous work, my husband decided to go with him. I highly recommend checking out his facebook page to see his night pictures.
    6. Turnover- we got our photos in a week.
    7. Rights- he waived all his rights to the photos so we can print pictures

    There are not enough words to say how great Dino Petrocelli is. He is a kind, honest, TALENTED, photographer. I was so nervous we didn't have enough pictures because it felt like we spent no time taking the pictures.... we got the pictures back (mind you only WEEKS after the wedding!!!!!!) The pictures were incredible.... This was the best choice we made for our wedding. Recommend over and over again. Stop looking- he is better priced, quicker, kinder and way more deserving of your business than ANYONE out there. We love Dino!!!!!!!!!

    Dino was awesome! our pictures came out perfect, we really couldn't of asked for anyone or anything better. He was very personable, friendly and flexible. We didn't even have to tell him the kind of shots we wanted, because he captured everything so perfectly and knew exactly what he was doing. we would highly recommend him to anyone for any event! everything was wonderful.

    We chose Dino to be the photographer for our wedding because he was highly recommended. His work is stunning and he is very professional. Our photos came out amazing! Also, he was very quick with directing different poses for our bridal group of 22 people!! You could tell he had a lot of experience, just by that test. :)

    As soon as I got engaged, I knew I wanted Dino to capture the day! I had seen his work and he had shot for a family members wedding ten years prior. Dino’s work speaks for itself... he’s amazing at what he does!! Aside from being so great at what he does, he also brings his fun energy and positive attitude!! It was so much fun being able to work with Dino and his team - they arrived early, stayed late, and worked nonstop throughout the entire day. Dino was extremely communicative during photos to help us with how to pose, etc, and he truly captured every special moment of our wedding day! We received every photo on a thumb drive in less than 3 weeks following the wedding, and every photo taken was on that drive and we received full rights to print!! Thank you to Dino and his team for being so amazing... lending coats to bridesmaids, standing in the snow to capture the perfect angle, arriving earlier than scheduled to allow enough time for the 4 pages of pictures I had requested, being available via text at all times of the day for random concerns that I had, and much more. I’m so glad that Dino & team we’re with us on our special day and highly recommend to all brides!!!

    So, i didn’t use Dino as our wedding photographer, not for any one reason in particular mostly just from meeting up with another photographer before hand and I’ll tell you it’s still my ONLY regret.

    Not only was i disappointed with my pictures/albums, i was told of all these “extras” that were included that never happened. I’ve been to numerous weddings since where Dino has been the photographer and he DOESNT disappoint! Whenever i run into a new bride or know of someone getting married he’s the first recommendation i give. DONT MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE I DID!!! Can’t beat his professionalism, quality or price!!

    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!

    We are so happy we chose Dino as our wedding photographer. After a negative experience with another photographer for our engagement photos, we contacted Dino who immediately alleviated all of our stress. We have zero regrets about changing photographers. Dino responded quickly to any questions, no matter the time or day. He was extremely professional, detail-oriented, and made us both feel comfortable with the process. He was on time and completely delivered the shots we had pictured in our heads without us even needing to ask. He brought along two other photographers at no additional cost who were both great to work with and also took wonderful photos. He was able to get formal and candid shots just like we wanted, and they're all beautiful. After the wedding, we received our photos much quicker than we anticipated and we love the album that we got too. If you’re looking for great quality photos at an affordable price then Dino is your guy. We would highly recommend Dino and would easily use him again for other events.

    Dino is an amazing photographer! He has photographed my family & friends for many years. He photographed our wedding in Jamaica & exceeded all of our expectations!! Our photos are Amazing!! The resort’s photographer took photos of our ceremony along side of Dino & let me tell you, Dino’s images blew the other photographer’s away. We are so grateful Dino was our photographer for such a special event! We highly recommend him!!

    Dino helped to capture every moment of our big day! He also made my husband ( who hates getting his photo taken) comfortable and enjoy having our pictures taken. We couldn’t have asked for more beautiful photos of our wedding day!

    My husband and I cannot stop looking at our wedding pictures!!! Dino is the most professional, accommodating, and kind person to work with! He answered all of our emails promptly, even though we had a million questions, and made us feel as though he was looking forward to our wedding as much as we were. The day of, he arrived early to the venue, and made sure that he coordinated with our wedding planner and other vendors to make sure he got the best shots! He made our entire bridal party feel comfortable, and he was so easy to work with. It didn't even feel like we had to pose, working with Dino was just natural! Not to mention that he is extremely affordable for the quality work he provides every client! I can't thank him enough for the quality of the pictures we received, and the time he took to make sure we felt special. He and his assistant Chris were worth every penny!!! I'm so glad we chose to go with Dino for our wedding!!

    UPDATE: We just picked up our wedding albums from Dino and they are absolutely gorgeous! We had to pick up our albums early due to a family emergency and Dino even came into his shop on his birthday to make sure we could bring them with us on our trip. He helped us capture our day perfectly in each picture, and the format of the album is amazing. I could not be happier with our albums, and our memories from our day thanks to Dino!! We will always appreciate you and will use your services for any and all photography needs!

    Dino is an absolute professional to work with for your wedding and engagement photos! Dino was responsive whenever we had questions. He made us feel comfortable and relaxed when he was taking our pictures. Dino is also incredibly creative and took the most amazing pictures! In one, he even had me do push-ups in my wedding dress with the bridesmaids looking down at me in awe - it was an awesome shot! There were certainly stresses on the day of the wedding, but working with Dino and having him there with us was not one of those stresses. We highly recommend Dino and his assistant Chris. You will have these pictures forever and you want the best. It doesn't get any better than Dino!!!
