We had Pete and the Two17 team for our May 2026 wedding at Ballroom at the Ben, and they were truly one of the best investments we made for our entire wedding day.

Finding a photographer was honestly the hardest vendor decision for me - I interviewed 10+ photographers - but I am so glad I did, because it led us to Pete and Two17. From our very first calls, Pete took the time to talk through our church ceremony logistics, timelines, and concerns without ever making us feel like a burden. That meant so much to us, especially because not every photographer we spoke with took that same care.

Our engagement shoot in June 2025 ended up happening the night a tornado swept through Philadelphia. The sky turned green, we lost power, and we were completely soaked - but Pete handled the chaos with so much calm and grace. We pivoted to a bar to finish the shoot, and some of those rainy, chaotic photos are still our absolute favorites. As soon as we left that night, we knew we needed Pete and his team for our wedding day.

Wedding weekend only confirmed that even more. On the way to our rehearsal, we passed Merchant’s Exchange, where we were supposed to do our first look, and saw it was under construction. I texted Pete, and within minutes, he and his team had already found a beautiful lookalike location and completely pivoted the plan. On the wedding day itself, there was a city-wide protest that left us gridlocked after the ceremony, and Two17 happily walked with us through the city so we could still finish our couple portraits.

Their team was everywhere without ever feeling intrusive. My mom is very particular, and she said every time she thought, “Someone should get a picture of this,” Two17 was already there. My husband keeps saying it felt like we had known Pete and the team for 10 years.

We also received the most incredible sneak peeks less than 48 hours after our wedding, which was such a gift. Two17 is talented, kind, calm, professional, and truly unmatched. This is exactly the team you want by your side on your wedding day. Book them immediately!

Pete was honestly one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From the start, he just felt like someone we could trust- not only to do an amazing job, but to actually make the day feel easier and more fun. He’s super professional, but in a way that never feels stiff or forced. He made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera, which meant so much, especially in moments that could’ve felt awkward.
Throughout the day, he blended in so naturally while still somehow capturing everything. Nothing felt overly posed, and he really let us be ourselves.
More than anything though, Pete is just a genuine person. By the end of the night, it felt like we had known him way longer than just one day and we kept saying how he’s the kind of person we’d actually want to hang out with outside of our wedding.
We’re so grateful he was part of our day and couldn’t recommend him more.

Pete and his team are phenomenal! From the pre-wedding planning (and engagement shoot), to the detailed questionnaire that ensures you capture everything that matters to you on your wedding day, to his willingness to stay until the very end of the party, he is more than a photographer. He is more like a wedding advisor.

The photos are simply stunning. They captured the essence of the day in such a beautiful, unobtrusive way. The team was there every step of the way but they blended in naturally. They helped keep moving things along to ensure that we had plenty of time to enjoy our wedding. And they put the focus on the people (while still getting the background and obligatory staged shots) so that we got to see our wedding through the eyes of our guests.

And we can't say enough good things about our wedding video. Jordan turned our vows and the speeches into a mini movie with a narrative arc that really captured who we are as a couple, gave a sense of place to the town where we got married, and included fun little moments featuring our family and friends. We've already watched the video countless times and plan to do so every anniversary going forward (if not more often). If you were on the fence about getting a wedding video, let this review persuade you to do it. You won't regret getting to relive your day when it's done this well.

We loved working with Pete, Caroline, and the rest of the team and will use Two17 to capture life events in the years to come.

We absolutely loved working with Pete and his team for our wedding photography and videography! From the start, the process was seamless, with clear and thoughtful communication from Pete leading up to the big day. On the wedding day itself, Pete (photo), Jordan (video), and the rest of the team were incredibly easy to work with and helped everything run smoothly.

We received our photos quickly and couldn’t be happier with them, Pete did an amazing job capturing every special moment, and we’ll treasure them forever. We are also completely over the moon with the video Jordan created; it exceeded our expectations and is more than we could have imagined.

We’re so grateful to have chosen Two 17 for our wedding and couldn’t recommend Pete and his team more highly.

Pete, his photographers, and videographers were awesome through the whole process! We did our engagement photos with Pete, and we knew he'd be awesome on our wedding day. We had a lot of fun with him, and he captured beautiful photos. On our wedding day, Pete and his team were capturing moments throughout the day in a non-intrusive way. His photographers were great with my young nieces and nephews too and went above and beyond to get them smiling in the photos. We could tell Pete and his crew were passionate about capturing the day for us. They were enthusiastic and working hard the whole time to make sure we got the best photos and video - and we absolutely did!! We will be forever grateful to be able to look back on this beautiful day! We could not recommend more highly!

Two17 Photo & Cinema? They're the real deal.
I knew within five minutes of speaking to Pete that we were going to be in the absolute best hands. Right from the get-go, he gives you his undivided attention, listening to your vision and then offering such thoughtful advice and ideas to make your big day shine even more. Collaborating was effortless; Pete is so warm, responsive, and reassuring. Photographers Caroline and Ashley were with us for the wedding and were absolutely amazing to work with as well. It felt like the three of them were truly there to celebrate our marriage rather than to simply capture the day...but capture the day they did! Looking at our photos felt like opening presents on Christmas morning; I cannot emphasize how many smiles they've put on family and friends' faces. We love how the team caught all the small authentic moments and gave traditional poses a fresh twist. We can't wait to select shots for our album and are so excited for the Super-8 video that's still to come. Thank you Pete, Caroline, and Ashley for letting us relive our special day again and again!

Pete and his team are amazing. He creates gorgeous photos and can find great lighting anywhere. He and his team were timely, professional, kind and detailed oriented. Pete is so easy to talk to and make you relax in front of the camera. He is so passionate about his work and it shows.

Our engagement photos were stunning and I was blown away when we received our wedding photos. He delivered over 1000 images that were all incredible. There are too many amazing shots to pick from and we can not wait to create our album with Pete. You will have no regrets booking Two17!

We hired two17 to shoot (photography and videography) our April 2025 wedding at Congress Hall in Cape May, NJ. Pete and his team are SO wonderful to work with. From the beginning, when we met Pete over Zoom, I felt confident that he would beautifully capture our wedding - and, he did. He made my husband and I feel very comfortable in front of the camera and had a quick turnaround in providing us our full gallery and wedding clip. We are so thankful to Pete and his team for so perfectly capturing our wedding day.

Zach and I cannot recommend Pete and Two17 Photography enough! From start to finish, they exceeded all our expectations.

The photos are stunning. Pete truly knows how to capture the essence of a moment, and each shot is full of life, love, and joy. It’s clear that he puts a lot of thought and care into every frame. We couldn’t be happier with how the photos turned out—they're nothing short of amazing.

For our pre-wedding photos, he captured the best candid and staged photos. We followed his lead, and as people who don't often get photos done, he made us feel so comfortable. It honestly felt easy and we had so much fun. During the event, they also made sure to act as a part of the party, never pulling us from enjoying our moments with our friends and family.

The video Pete's team created is absolutely incredible—every moment was beautifully captured, with perfect editing that brought all the emotion and magic of our day back to life. We’ve watched it over and over again, and it still gives us chills! If you are going back and forth on videography, I cannot recommend it enough.

Beyond their incredible work, Pete was also so responsive and easy to communicate with. From the first consultation to the final delivery, he was friendly, professional, and went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. He made us feel comfortable and at ease throughout the entire process, and it shows in the results.

If you’re looking for a photographer and videographer who will capture your wedding in the most beautiful, authentic way, look no further than Two17 Photography. Pete made our wedding memories last forever, and we’re so grateful for everything he did. Thank you again for making our day so special!

We cannot say enough amazing things about Pete and the team at Two17! They captured the joy of our day so beautifully – we could not have picked a better team for our special day. From the beginning and leading up to the day, Pete made us feel at ease. He was responsive, answered all of our questions and gave us advice and tips on how to make the most of the day, and make sure we got all the photos we wanted. We chose not to have a first look, and Pete and his team were so helpful in making sure my husband and I didn’t see each other beforehand, which was so appreciative.

And the photos and video!!! We absolutely love them! Pete and Ashley took an excellent mix of portraits and candid photos, and they made us feel so comfortable throughout the whole process.

And Jordan crushed our video! He captured the joy, excitement and love of our day so perfectly. Near the end of the night, they asked us if there was anything else we wanted to make sure we captured before the night ended – they were so attentive and thoughtful and continuously made sure we got everything we wanted. Honestly, the best team. We are so happy with our photos and video, and love reviling our day all over again! Could not have done it without Pete and the team – highly, highly recommend!!
