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!

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!

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.

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 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!

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!

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!!

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!!!!!!!!!

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

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 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. :)

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.

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!!!

Dino's experience, professionalism, and creativity are second to none! Each wedding he shoots is unique and given his full attention. As a bride, I can't say enough about how Dino makes you feel at ease. There was never a doubt in my mind that each moment would be captured in a beautiful, meaningful and memorable way. He makes taking photos for your wedding fun! He is patient and has a gift for knowing what will look great. Don't leave it up to just anyone to photograph the most special moments of your life. By choosing Dino, we received countless photos and just wanted to frame them all, they were so wonderful. You cannot go wrong with him!

Dino and his second shooter were both extremely professional throughout the entire wedding process. He invited us to his studio, clearly talked us through everything he offers, and was communicative with us through the entire process! It was definitely a great feeling having one less thing to worry about while planning our wedding.
Dino showed up early, got incredible shots that I hadn't even thought of, and went through the bridal party photos with lightning speed while keeping everyone in a great mood! I have been in several weddings, and this guy is a pro. I've never seen so many incredible photos setup so quickly. He knew every shot he wanted and had it all planned out.
Dino has been doing this for a long time, and he defines professionalism. We got amazing pictures of an incredible day in our lives, and I would absolutely choose him again without hesitation! I recommend him very highly to anyone looking to capture their special moment!

We had Dino for our photographer back in 2014 when we got married!
All we can say is WOW! He was so professional and made us feel so comfortable.It was the best day of our lives and it was all down to Dino for capturing the moments throughout the day. Other photographers we didn’t even look at, as we saw his work and knew instantly he was perfect for us. I still look back at my photographs and a tear still comes to my eye. You must book Dino, you will not be disappointed. Dino also did our engagement shoot and my special shoot for my husband for his wedding gift! Just look at the photos I had attached and the work speaks for itself!
Dino you captured my dream wedding to the man of my dreams! Thank you

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!!

When planning a wedding things can get a bit crazy...there are the invitations, the dress, interview after interview (trust me there are a lot) wondering if you’re actually making the right choices. I can definitely say making the choice of having Dino as our photographer was one of the best decisions I have ever made! He takes the time to sit down with you one on one to come up with what works for you and what doesn’t. Dino wants nothing but amazing on YOUR day, he wants you to have fun and be spontaneous. Nothing felt forced, he is very easy to work with! Everything he captures in that time span is incredible! Everyone told me how fast that day would go and they were completely right, but the memories in each photo will always be remembered because of him!
Thank you Dino!!!

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!!!

Dino was the best photographer anyone could ever have, more than I could have asked for. We had two engagement shoots since my husband wanted to do a special themed one in a dance studio since he loves to dance. Dino was all for it and didn’t even care that we were needy and over the top! He was with us literally all day for our wedding. He got every shot I wanted and more and I didn’t even have to ask. Our photos came out beyond beautiful, people still talk about how great they are. I still look back and smile. It was more than I could have asked for. You won’t regret booking Dino as your photographer. He also shot my maternity photos. He picked the location and it was perfect. Vibrant flowers and beautiful scenery. I’ve always been more than happy with his work and will use him every chance I can.

Dino was amazing to work with from start to finish. He and his wife grew up with my parents so he has done lots of work for our family in the past, always with beautiful results. Our engagement and wedding photos were no different. My husband who is not a huge fan of having his photos taken got to meet Dino during our engagement session and made him feel comfortable throughout the process. On the day of our wedding, Dino arrived early to photograph myself and my bridal party getting ready, and also had recruited a second shooter to photograph the groomsmen getting ready at a different location. He was agreeable to braving the cold with me to a secluded location to get some specific outdoor photos that I wanted, and I love how they came out. The number of photos he and his second shooter took during the entire day was amazing, I received a disk with a couple THOUSAND pictures documenting every detail imaginable. For the sheer number of photos received, and the quality of them, as well as how great Dino was in general to work with, his prices cannot be beat. I'm familiar with what some other local photographers in the area are charging for weddings, and for what you get, Dino is by far the most competitively priced. I'm so glad that we went with Dino, and have so many amazing pictures to remember our big day!

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!!

I had an intimate winter wedding in March, 2017. I had seen so much of Dino's work through friends' weddings and displayed in stores, and knew I wanted to have him photograph our wedding.
He was excellent! He was always prompt responding to my random emails and questions. He and his assistant were sooo accommodating and professional! They made everyone comfortable.
That particular day was freezing. I was determined to have pictures outside! Dino and Chris were awesome!!! We were able to get sooo many great pics capturing Lake George and the inn at Erlowest. Prior to the ceremony, they were able to get some great pics of the guys and gals getting ready, and were sure to get pics of all of he details.
Loved working with 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!

I have used the services of Dino Petrocelli for two weddings. My oldest daughter got married last year and we had the pleasure of using Dino for the wedding. He is one of the most accommodating individuals I have had the pleasure of meeting. He work is outstanding and his service premier. He and his staff did such a great job with my first daughters wedding we asked Dino to do the pictures for my second daughters wedding that occurred last August. Lastly, I look forward to Dino doing the pictures for my youngest daughters wedding in the near future. Dino is more that a photographer his is an artist.

I hope that 5.0 means really good and not bad. Dino was AMAZING! He did our engagement shoot as well as our wedding. He was extremely flexible with regards to time and accommodations. He had a quicker turn around with providing us with our photos than I would have expected since our wedding was in his busy season. Definitely got our monies worth with Dino! I would hire him again in a heartbeat if I ever need another photographer for anything!

Dino was amazing to work with! He was so helpful is every aspect of our photographs from start to finish. He was easy to meet with before and after the wedding. I highly recommend him to anyone... anyone who has seen my photographs also ask for his information. He was creative and captured every special moment.

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!

Dino was absolutely fabulous for our wedding on 5/20/2017! He made us feel welcomed when we met with him on numerous occasions to prepare for our wedding. He took shots that we wanted and also incorporated some of his own style which we loved! We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer! Thank you for capturing our special day and giving us beautiful photos we will be proud to show generation to come!
P.S. Thanks for your patience with my lack of technical skills!

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 was absolutely amazing to work with. Our pictures are beyond glamorous and he got them to us in just two weeks time! The day of he arrived and started shooting immediately. Thanks to his second shooter we have a ton of detail shots and a bunch of pictures of us each getting ready. Dino was great at directing us so we look great in the pictures. His additional lighting tools helped make the most of the architecture in the building and gave us unique shots that we can't stop staring at.

We cannot say enough how happy we are with Dino and his work. He is an amazing person to work with. He's laid back and easy going and allowed us to enjoy our wedding while still getting all of the amazing pictures we wanted. He provided us with a file of over 2,000 pictures and had them to us very quickly after the wedding. He is experienced and professional, and brought an assistant with him who helped with lighting and was able to get different shots and angles. His pricing is much lower than we expected for the quality of his work. We have been and will continue to recommend him to our friends and families

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 throughout 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 D

Dino is the definition of a true professional. My husband works at a music studio with Dino’s brother so that’s how we originally heard of him, but my mother and I also were able to meet him at a local bridal show and see his photography in person. We were blown away by his work and we booked him right on the spot. When discussing wedding day timelines and my desire for me and my husband to possibly be able to enjoy part of our cocktail hour, he suggested doing a first look. We had never heard of a first look before, but after Dino explained it to us we decided this would be perfect for us (and we did end up getting to go to our cocktail hour!) We also learned later on that the makeup and hair stylist we had booked regularly worked with Dino on photo shoots, so they were in contact to make sure both of their timelines were in sync so I didn’t have to worry about a thing when the big day arrived. On our wedding day Dino was absolutely amazing. I gave him a few ideas on what type of pictures I would like and he captured those moments as well as set up photos that I never could have imagined on my own. His assistant Emily was wonderful as well, capturing pictures from different perspectives so that we would have a multiple angles to choose from when creating our wedding album. You could tell how much they both enjoyed photography, and it definitely showed in the quality of the photos. I told Dino I had to get pictures of us by the lake at sunset, and his stunning photos captured the beauty of the sun setting on the lake (which was the main reason I chose my venue). Dino and Emily were with us the entire day and we were amazed at the total number of shots they were able to provide us to choose from. We were completely overwhelmed in the best way possible! All of the shots were so spectacular it made it hard to choose which would go in the album. My husband and I can’t say enough how highly we valued Dino’s hard work and expertise and we would recommend him to anyone! :)

WORTH EVERY PENNY!!!! Dino is FANTASTIC!! A true definition to the word professional. He was fun, enthusiastic, with wonderful creative ideas that captured my wedding perfectly. The pictures are beyond amazing, and we have a TON of pictures we can choose from, look over to remember our day, and keep with us forever. Even the USB we were given was wrapped pretty and put together so nicely. If you choose any other photographer you will miss out on working with the best.

We could not have asked for a better photographer for our May 9th wedding. Dino's work bottom line just speaks for itself and not only does he do fantastic work, the packages he offers are so affordable and you get a lot of bang for your buck. He has a way of working the camera to get the picture-perfect shots! We initially thought about finding a cheaper photographer, but are so glad we decided this was something we could not cheap on. We have since heard horror stories from others who went with an inexperienced photographer, or someone who offered half the price, and absolutely hated their photos. With all the hustle and bustle of our wedding night, it was such an amazing time sifting through our wedding photos after the fact and reminiscing of our important night. He was able to capture the very most important moments without pulling us away from our guests. The worst part is trying to pick out only 80 photos for our wedding album!!! :-)
I highly suggest using Dino for your wedding....it's the most important day of you life and he will capture every last moment of it, guaranteed!

My Husband and I recently got married and had chosen Dino for our photographer. We had never done anything with him prior and heard of him through word of mouth once into our wedding planning. My words will never be able to explain how absolutely great he was from start to finish. He made me look and feel like the most beautiful woman in the world. So much fun, so easy going and personable, and so doing what he is meant to do! I never had to tell him what I wanted, he is so experienced and fast at getting the most perfect pictures within a matter of seconds. All I can say is, he's very affordable and worth every last penny! You want the best photo's from that day to have for the rest of your life? Just look into Dino, I promise you won't regret that one phone call.

It's seems like every vendor on this site has a 5 star rating, but with Dino you are getting so much more. Him and his team made my wife and I feel like rockstars from beginning to end. It's all about finding the person with the right personality that fits you. Dino was our guy.
He made our wedding unique. He brought out the best in both of us and truly captured the emotions throughout the day. I don't need to tell people how much fun my wedding was -- they can look at any of the photos Dino and Emily took and already know it was the best day of our lives.
Almost everyday someone tells me -- "Man, your photos are amazing. They don't look like any wedding I've ever seen." I can thank Dino for that. That's exactly what we asked for and he and his crew delivered.
Not once did he take over and make it his show. He got what we wanted and had a blast with us for the entire day. We got the photos as soon as we got back from our honeymoon and haven't stopped looking at them since.

My husband and I can't thank Dino for not only our amazing engagement pictures but our gorgeous wedding pictures.
We met Dino through a friend and I thank her every day for introducing us because having him as our photographer was the best decision I made when it came to my wedding. He always has fresh and new ideas to keep things fun and exciting.
His work is worth every single penny and I can't wait to work with him again someday. He is so professional yet so much fun at the same time. He makes you feel so relaxed and I don't know how many people have told us how awesome he was at the wedding.
Thank you again for everything!!
XOXO Matt & Erika Valenti

Dino was so awesome on our wedding day! Using him was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. He is so easy to work with, he was so calm, fun and professional. Very real and down to earth person. The pictures he got were amazing! He came up to us and said that the sun was setting and sprinklers just came on and said he has a really good shot and told us if we wanted to do it the time was perfect or we didn't have to. We did it and it was beautiful! He is very observant of his surroundings and will tell you when he thinks a good shot will be, always thinking of the next shot. He knows all the prefect angles to make the picture look flawless. The pictures he did are so beautiful, I couldn't be more happy with them. He also got the best pictures of party! I saw pictures of things that I missed, being so busy and they are awesome! Dino was awesome, he is like a fly on the wall, you wouldn't even of known he was there, but he captured pictures of everything plus more! I will be using Dino again and would highly recommend him to anyone!! Very affordable and reasonable! You can tell that he loves what he does!

Dino was absolutely amazing! Everyone had a great time interacting with him, he was great with us during our first look when everyone is antsy to get to the ceremony. He got shots I would never have even thought of. What a great eye he has. His personality is amazing, he's not a boring photographer just there to take pictures, he really got involved with the group and everyone loved him. Reaching out to Dino was the best decision I made while wedding planning, he helped me stay calm the day off even when I was sick of taking pictures :) I highly recommend him for anyone, not just locals. I've seen some destination wedding pictures he's done and they look great! Hopefully we'll have some maternity/family photos to take with him in the next few years! I can't say enough good things about him, call him, make an appointment to sit down and see some of his work!

My husband and I could not have made a better decision in choosing a photographer for our wedding. Dino is the best! He and Lori were phenomenal, They were both extremely professional, creative, and a lot of fun. We never felt uncomfortable and had a blast as one of the first weddings of the season for Dino.The turn around time was extremely fast and we absolutely love all of the shots taken. We were so excited to work with Dino and he did not disappoint. It was a relief to be working with one of the best professionals in the business!!

What can I possibly say about Dino and Lori? They were amazing. Dino was so down to earth, and so helpful. The best advice he gave us was to make a photo list for group pictures. I wish we spent more time on that. We rushed it at the last minute and spent more time than I wanted taking group pictures. But through it all Dino was awesome. He worked with us and did an amazing job. He knew what he wanted and how to do it with as little time as possible. He made my husband and I feel so comfortable and relaxed. He took some amazing candid pictures that made me remember exactly what i was thinking even 2 weeks later. We would have him do it all over again...He was that spectacular. I was so blessed with Dino and how he took the extra time time to take pictures of our children and even had Olivia helping him hold up the lights. He was always just a quick email or phone call away. He was so helpful with all my questions and answered them to make me relax and enjoy the day. I can not say enough wonderful things about Dino and his work. The work stands on its own also. It is breathtaking. He is an outstanding photographer.
Thank you again,
Heather and Will

Dino was an excellent photographer. My wedding was on the coldest day of the year and Dino along with Lori were more than accomodating. They never rushed me and were wonderful in capturing photographs with my ring bearer (2 years old) and flower girl (3 years old). Contact with Dino was extremely easy and he provided me with a few shots edited the very next day! I am beyond happy with Dino's personality and his quality of work and would recommend him to anyone.

My wife and I used Dino for our wedding and we couldn't be happier! He more than exceeded our expectations. He and his crew were very helpful and professional. I am an amateur photographer and had some input for him regarding locations. Dino did a great job working with the location I wanted to use and had several locations he suggested as well. We were blown away with the photos he presented us. They were so professionally done. He managed to capture the most amazing phot of us and the sun setting. It was a very difficult shot, and he nailed it! I would urge you to use his services! He is really, really good! Dino, thank you for capturing our special day! We are delighted with your work!

Dino is an awesome photographer and great person. He is sooo easy to work with. Most of the night I didn't even realize he was there but the shots he got of our wedding where BEAUTIFUL. I don't know how he did what he did but I highly recommend him. You will not be sorry, unless you don't want awesome pictures. He may not be the cheapest around but honestly, I feel he really is.
If you look at the quality and you receive all the rights to all the photos and they truly will be wonderful pictures without a camera in your face all night so you can actually enjoy your day, he is worth every cent and more. I would fully recommend him to every and anyone with no doubt in my mind you will be completely satisfied. Plus it didn't take long to get the disk of all our photos by not long I mean weeks not months like it took my sister. Trust me, that makes a difference too, who wants to wait forever just for your wedding photos. You shouldn't be having your first anniversary while picking what photo you want on your wedding thank yous. That's right ladies all the rights mean you can make everyone a 5x7 thank you with a professional photo. When it comes to a once in a life time day, that you want the very best photos you can get, get Dino.

Dino is amazing!! From the start we just clicked! The year before my wedding we were so busy but I knew I wanted to do engagements photos at some point...he was so flexible and able to work with me on making that happen. My photos came out amazing. He just knew all the right angles and shots that would be amazing. He's so creative and you know he's thinking of the next shot before he even finishes with the first! We LOVED all of our photos and couldn't wait for the wedding!
On my wedding day he was so amazing and relaxed! He just knew what to do and did it! All the photos were flawless! I am so happy with them all! He was so quick at getting them back to us it was unreal!
Dino is very well priced and to be honest he could be charging more for his work but he doesn't because that is the kind of guy he is. Words can not express how great Dino is. I would recommend him to everyone if I could! Thanks Dino for capturing our day!! You were great!

Dino and his crew are amazing!! They work well to make sure you get AMAZING shots and still make sure they don't take up your time to enjoy your wedding. Letting Dino's amazing mind run you will not be disappointed! His imagination and ability to see shots is crazy. Our pictures (and we have only seen a couple) exceed our expectations! They are a great crew to have hanging around you at your wedding--a blast!! Your crazy not to book Dino! His quality is beyond those who you pay 9K for and his prices are actually in budget!
I wanted to update my review because we just got our pictures back! (SO QUICK I may add! we got back from our honeymoon and there they were waiting for us!!) Dino's photos are beyond anything we expected! ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! The shots are amazing and we were able to relive our wedding all over again. Choosing which to put into an album may take us longer than it took to plan the wedding because they are all great!
Also, people should know when we looked for a photographer we had only a couple requirements-- (1) they are original/fun/willing to go off the beaten path with photos taken AND (2) they wouldn't be seen throughout the night (as awful as that sounds--but we have been to so many weddings where the photographer is in videographers shots, is in the way of guests seeing the ceremony and just all over the place). I will say with Dino we got everything we were looking for! I have guests that have been asking me--where was the photographer? I didn't even see him? Did he stay the whole night? And he did and was all over the place getting those fun shots out on the dance floor! That's exactly the way a professional should be and Dino is! BEST VALUE ALL AROUND!

Dino recently photographed my wedding, and although his pictures speak for themselves, working with him totally surpassed my expectations. He is so easy to work with; the perfect combination of fun and professional. His photos are simply breathtaking. He managed to get several stunning formal shots, as well as hundreds of fun candid pictures. He ever interrupted the ceremony or reception, but always seemed to be in the right place at the right time. His prices, in my opinion are more than reasonable considering the amazing quality. I honestly couldn't imagine trusting anyone else to capture all of the important moments of such a big day. If you are looking for a wedding photographer you simply cannot go wrong with Dino!!

Dino is an amazing photographer. As we were taking our engagement photos at my family farm you could see him analyzing different locations to pose. He has unique ideas that were natural for Tom and I to pose. He had an impeccable eye for lighting and setting. He was open to our photo ideas and made recommendations for improvement that enhanced the photos quality. It is one thing to work with someone that takes amazing pictures but another to have someone that you can see really enjoys what he is doing and is good at it. He took great pictures of the two of us with my horse who is not very photogenic. I can say with confidence that Dino was a great choice for our photographer and look forward to seeing the photos of our big day next year.

Dino couldn't have done a better job. He was friendly with all of our guests and made no fuss at all when I changed the time of my event by an hour. He was extremely professional and friendly. His photos speak for them selves. I knew how amazing all of his work was and was so happy he was available to shoot my big day. He was my FIRST choice for a photographer and I can't thank him enough for all the beautiful photos. On a day when you don't get to see the end result up front and you can never re-take the photos, trusting Dino Petrocelli to capture every moment is a safe bet! I love every one he took.

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 appreciated 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.

My husband and I had a BALL with Dino and Lori. From the moment I met with Dino in his studio , through our engagement photos and our wedding it was SO MUCH FUN! I had ideas of what kind of pictures I may have wanted and gave them to Dino. He made them so much more than what I wanted. He puts his own spin on things and they're like pictures you have never seen before. His photos are so original and are not like "every other wedding picture" that you see on facebook, pinterest, etc. In fact we had just gotten our CD of wedding pictures today ( only 3 weeks after our wedding ) and I can not even believe how amazing they turned out. If you are thinking about a photographer, think no further, there is no other choice! Once you meet with Dino, and see his work you'll see why he is the BEST photographer! Thanks for everything you did Dino! We love our pictures!!!!

We just got our wedding album from Dino, and it was amazing. Better than anything that we ever could have imagined. It was like opening a present on Christmas morning, The case/box that the album comes in had our names and wedding date engraved on it, as did the cover to the album. Once we got the album open the pages were a think cardboard, with a hint of shimmer that covered all the pictures. It looked magical. The best part about this album is that it did not cost us thousands of dollars, It was included in our package. i have seen many wedding albums over the years and this album by far trumps them all. This is an album that will last a lifetime. Dino is amazing to work with. The quality of the pictures that he took and the album that we got are priceless, every time we look at them we get a little teary eyed thinking about our special day!! We hope that we will be able to work with Dino again in the future.

Dino was an excellent choice for our wedding. When Dino arrived at the Comfort Inn in Schodack to take pictures of the bridal party, he and his assistant Lori immediately made us feel comfortable. They directed us in every way to ensure the photos would capture the perfect moments and keep us on time for the ceremony and reception. Dino's unique style and flair created moments which we feel no other photographer would capture. With Dino's sense of humor each shot captured brought out the best of our wedding. We highly recommend Dino for all of your special events.

My husband Ryan and I just got married on 6/8/13. Our photographer was the wonderful Dino Petrocelli. We recieved on Monday our CD that he provided us with the 1,622 pictures he took of our wedding day. I have cried on almost every single picture. Dino managed to capture everything I could ever imagine catching on our wedding day. Pictures an ordinary person would never think of getting. Most of my family and friends have seen some of the pictures and and are only wanting to see more! He's in a class all on his own. I hope he continues to be amazing and I hope these comments will help any future bride and grooms decide on which photographer they should go with to capture their special day.

We were going to have a family friend take our daughter's wedding pics, she is a professional photographer also. She was unable to at the last minute and asked Dino if he was available, thankfully, he was, and how lucky and grateful we feel! Dino never seemed to stop shooting pictures, we are going to truly enjoy looking through them all. I've been shooting pics for years, I am the photographer of our family. I have chronicled our lives through pictures in the form of scrapbooking. I normally take all the pics, but it is going to be so exciting to see Alex and Mike's wedding through Dino's most creative eyes. I was blown away at the pics he showed me, at the poses he was able to get from Alex, and how he seemed to truly capture Alex's essence. I cannot wait to see the finished product. If he had been unavailable, the photography would have fallen to me, and I know I would have fallen far short. Far short! So I thank Dino from the bottom of my heart! Photographs have always been very important to me and I know that this most important day was chronicled by the best. I believe that very bride should have a wedding photographer that cares so deeply about getting the perfect wedding photographs like he has done for us.

My husband and I couldn't have been more pleased and impressed with Dino's talent. Dino and his assistant Lori were both friendly and professional. We have such amazing pictures to look at and remember our wedding day. We can't thank you enough for being such an amazing part of our wedding. Dino uses his talent to create unique photos, but also balances his creativity to take those traditional photos that a bride and groom will be ale to loo back at for years to come. In addition to his talent, Dino was responsive to phone calls, emails, Facebook messages, etc., he made us feel so at ease on what is definitely a "stressful day". Thanks again Dino for helping to create such wonderful memories of our wedding.

I absolutely loved having Dino and his team be a part of our special day! He was extremely professional at all times and knew how to have fun! He came up with some awesome picture ideas and his editing is so perfect! We knew he was the right fit for us when we first met him and no other photographer we met with after our initial consultation held up to his standards.
We had so much fun at the engagement session and we got so many compliments on our engagement picutres! The day of the wedding he was ready to go and took some amazing shots. There were so many we got back, I missed some of the best ones until I went back through them again. Each time I go through our wedding pictures I find more and find things I like about them, especially the detail he captures!
Dino's talent is definitely seen in the pictures he takes and we are extremely happy we went with him and his team! You will not be disappointed!
Thank you again Dino!!!

Dino was awesome! He did our engagement shoot as well as our wedding. Dino's laid back personality put everyone at ease. He captured all of the family shots we wanted. What we treasure the most are all of the candid shots that really convey the emotion of the day. When we received our pictures we were blown away by the quality and the volume of pictures! We received them within one month and were able to relive the entire day. The hardest part of the process was choosing pictures for the album because there were hundreds and hundreds of amazing shots! We just got our album from Dino and the quality is incredible. All of Dino's services are SO reasonable. You will never regret having Dino and his team shoot the memories for your big day!

DINO IS THE MAN!!!!! We have THE BEST wedding pictures, we couldn't be happier!!! Dino has such a great personality and is so easy to work with. One of the groomsmen actually told us that it was the most fun wedding he's ever been in because "the photographer wasn't in my face all day telling me to smile!" He really does his job so well and did such an amazing job I can't begin to explain how happy I am and how grateful I am to have found him!! DO NOT EVEN CONSIDER ANYBODY ELSE!!!!

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 ever 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!!!

My husband and I were married in July 2012, and Dino was our photographer.
From the first day that we met with Dino he was very professional. He was also responsive to our emails and phone calls. He answered all of our questions and was helpful during the preparation process.
On the day of the wedding, he and his two assistants were very friendly, and easy to work with in general. I was a bit chaotic in the morning prior to the ceremony. We were a little bit late getting back from the hair dresser, we all had to get ready and eat lunch, and before we knew it the limo had arrived....but Dino and his staff were very flexible.
They also took some wonderful pictures during the ceremony without being instrusive. We love our pictures and we really enjoyed having Dino Petrocelli Photography for our wedding photographer.

Dino and his second shooter Lori were AMAZING! They were calm when taking pictures and had an eye for catching unique shots. We had an awesome time with them during the day and our pictures are over the top amazing!! I can't wait to have another big life event so that they can take pictures!

We had an excellent experience with Dino right from the get-go with our engagement photos. The photos from the wedding were amazing and I felt comfortable leaving it all up to him! He was fun to work with and has a great personality. They came out so natural and beautiful, you can see that Dino really has an eye for this. We couldn't be happier. And no one could beat his prices!

Dino and his staff are absolutely amazing! We cannot say enough good things about them. He did such a great job of telling us exaclty how he wanted us to stand and look and that it made everything so much easier. The pictures came out beautiful. I never felt like they were in the way, but yet they were there and captured everything. In fact, when my husband and I were looking through the pictures we saw things that we didn't even see that night! Dino also did a great job of getting a wide variety of pictures. He got great ones of the two of us throughout the evening in many different settings and got a ton of the candid shots. We did not get a videographer and I feel like with the pictures that he took, it was not needed. Not a single minute was missed throughout the entire day. The pictures are so much more than we could have ever dreamed of and will always be a fantastic memory of our wedding 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 dependability 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.

I don't even know where to begin! From the moment my fiance and I met with Dino, I knew that he was a perfect fit for us to do our wedding photography. He is so calm and reassuring, which is exactly what any nervous bride to be needs! He is professional, affordable, and reliable. He showed up early and stayed late. He took over a thousand pictures and every one is perfect! It was so hard to pick pictures for our album, which by the way, was incredible. He was taking pictures when I didn't even know he was taking pictures; in fact, some of those are my favorite. He was always accessable, but never too in our face. He captured true emotion shots- which are so important. I am absolutely amazed at how perfect the pictures came out... and very pleased with how we were treated throughout the whole process. Dino is the best... don't even bother looking anywhere else! =)
We also had the pleasure of working with Dino when my husband and I welcomed our third baby girl into the world just two weeks ago. And with how pleased we were with or wedding photos, why would I go anywhere else to capture this even more precious moment in time? She was only 12 days old, and literally screamed 90% of the photo shoot. My other girls, ages 4 and 8, were running around the studio. Me and my husband of course were stressed out. And then there was Dino and his assistant; as pleasant and calm as can be. They went above and beyone what any portrait studio would have done to capture amazing shots. When I viewed the photos, I could not BELIEVE how, in the midst of all the madness, Dino was able to capture photos that look like they belong on the front of a baby magazine! I am absolutely amazed. I'm not sure how he does it, but I couldn't be happier with the results.
Thank you, Dino, for doing what you do. You're the best!

I cannot say enough great things about Dino and his staff. When we first met with Dino we wrote him a check on the spot to save our date – we knew he was the one, and we never looked back or second guessed ourselves!!!
Dino was beyond a pleasure to work with – very personal, professional, friendly, and most importantly fun!! Dino and his staff knew exactly what pictures to take and when to take them. We did not have to ask any questions or bug him to capture a moment – they were already all over it!!! We also barely even noticed him throughout the night – yet he captured so many wonderful pictures.
I could not be more pleased or excited about ALL (and I mean ALL, over 1,500 shots) that were taken at the wedding. I have NO idea how I am going to narrow shots down to put in a picture book – every single shot is amazing!! I have had nothing but complements from friends and family who have seen the shots – they say they are the best they’ve seen yet!!! Not to mention the turn around time – we had our CD’s available to us within weeks of the wedding, NOT MONTHS!!
I with out a doubt recommend Dino to anyone and everyone!!!
Dino – THANK YOU for making our day so memorable, we truly have every single second of our wedding captured and it’s because of you!!!!

Dino was easy to work with and he truly has a talent for spotting the perfect shots. He was professional, easy to work with, and we had the luxury of having a second shooter at no additional cost to us. No other photographer was able to provide the quality of service he did at a competitive price. Our pictures are absolutely amazing and I would highly recommend him without reservation or hesitation. Genuinely an all-around nice guy and a great experience. We couldn't be happier.

Dino is so awesome to work with. When it is his time he will take the most amazing shots. The rest of the time you dont even know he there, but still gets the most amazing shots. I would never use anyone else.

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.
User3381797 Sent on 01/10/2018So, 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.
