    Above and beyond photography services

    Peter's photos turned out extremely professional and way above our expectations. I recalled the skies were cloudy with limited sunlight during our shoot. Peter managed to edit our photos and make them look all bright and beautiful!

    In addition, despite us feeling cold during the shoot, he managed to capture our photos very well and make us look very natural.

    While we are looking for a pre-wedding photographer, we found Peter very responsive and considerate of all our needs.

    During the shoot, he made us feel very comfortable and it felt like a friend taking nice photos of us.

    Above all, Peter wasn't calculative on the amount of time he spent or the number of photos to deliver. He was really deep in the moment and very focused on getting the best photos for us. He did not mind exceeding the time limit for the shoot and was happy to send more photos than the standard studio.

    Wonderful wedding photographer

    Peter photographed our September 2023 wedding in Prague and we couldn’t be happier that we chose him! He exceeded our expectations and we are extremely grateful to have such beautiful photos to look back on to remember our wedding day.

    We were looking for someone to capture our big day with a focus on the emotions, experiences, family and fun in a style that’s both modern and timeless. Peter absolutely nailed it! He tailored our wedding photography experience to feel very personal to us, while maintaining his creativity and signature style.

    We decided to have a pre-wedding photoshoot which we also highly recommend. We both had no experience of being photographed and were a little apprehensive that we would both look awkward. Peter immediately put us at ease and is excellent at directing you in a natural way to achieve stunning photographs.

    Our guests also thought Peter was fantastic. Here are some of their comments:
    “Captured every possible aspect of such a memorable day”
    “Stunning photos”
    “Just WOW”

    You will not be disappointed if you choose Peter as your photographer, we are forever grateful that we did.

    Our wedding in Prague

    We couldn't have chosen a better photographer 😍 Peter is amazing! We were on a pre-wedding "date" photoshoot and he also photographed our wedding. We thought we weren't photogenic, but what Peter was able to conjure up with us - unbelievable! We were amazed at how quickly he sent us the finished photos and a sample of the wedding ones. He has talent, he knows what he's doing, he knows how to organize group photos with his family beautifully. He is kind, funny, human and caring. We had our wedding on probably the hottest day of the year. A friend remembered that when he saw a stroller with a sleeping baby in the sun, he moved it into the shade. The wedding guests are as impressed by the photos as we are, and when we look at the photos, they always remark that: "the photographer was a nice guy". My husband and I hope that our wedding was the last, but Peter and I certainly haven't seen the last!
    Peter, thank you very much!

    Our wedding in Slovakia

    Peter is very friendly, polite, reliable and professional. We had online time planning prior to out wedding and even if everything did not run according to the plan on our wedding day, Peter was flexible and the photos almost do not show it. We chose Peter, because we liked his fine art style of photography and we are happy we made the investment.

    Amazing wedding photographer!!!

    Peter Rigo is a top-notch wedding photographer! He was recommended to us by our wedding planner and we are so glad we listened to her. He took great care of everyone at our wedding and the photos turned out absolutely beautiful, everyone loves them! He is courteous and he made sure the wedding party felt comfortable the entire time. If you need a wedding photographer look no further! The photos speak for themselves

    Amazing photographer!

    We first met Peter for our engagement session, where we connected immediately. He was extremely friendly, patient, and kind, and we had a great session - we absolutely loved the pictures and he delivered more than expected which was a nice surprise! 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!

    Incredible!!

    I can’t recommend Peter enough! From the first day we met him at our engagement shoot, he made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera, especially my husband who wasn’t so comfortable posing for pictures. He was so helpful with helping me 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!

    Professional, nice to work with, amazing results!

    Peter was an absolutely incredible photographer for our wedding. We got married in a chateau and his style worked perfectly in the setting. He was very professional on the day, knew exactly what he was doing (moving items around so that they are 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!

    Stunning pictures, great energy, amazing experience. Would definitely work with Peter again!

    I can't imagine anyone else capturing our special day! We planned an international wedding and Peter really took care of us that day, finding great locations to take pictures in, listening to our thoughts/wishes, and capturing our friends and family in a way that was authentic to our style.
    Peter was also great to communicate with and work with. We worked together to find time in the day to have the best light and least crowds for our pictures. He really was committed to helping us capture the best version of that day.
    Last but not least, both my husband and I cried when we got our wedding pictures and viewed them together! So amazing, we would definitely work with Peter again!

    Wonderful experience

    Peter photographed our wedding in June 2022 and our experience was great! Peter is the perfect balance of casual, professional and friendly. I wanted to make sure that our photographer was someone that I wouldn't mind spending a significant amount 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.

    Professional, creative, & well organized

    Just perfect!
    Peter 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.
    Organizing an international wedding during the pandemic is stressfull enough and personally, I was not really looking forward to any photographing, but that all changed the moment Peter arrived. I would never think we will end up having such a beautiful and elegant photos from our wedding day as we did! Thank you Peter!

    Simply amazing

    I can’t thank Peter enough for capturing this special day for ya. Peter was hands down the best! He had a smile on his face from the beginning of the day to the end of the night! He knew every pose, scenery and lighting to make our pictures come out fantastic. My husband and I would recommend Peter to anyone who needs to capture their day with beautiful photos. 10/10!!

    INCREDIBLE! I cannot say enough AMAZING things about Peter and his team! Truly thankful to have met and worked with Peter!

    From the first time talking with Peter, I knew that he was going to be an incredible photographer to work with. When I got engaged I knew how important it was to find a photographer that would reflect my style and take timeless pictures that would last a lifetime. After reaching out to over 30 photographers, I finally found Peter! Peter took so much time out of his schedule to talk to me morning, afternoon, and night. He scheduled an engagement shoot with my fiance and I and made us feel SO comfortable in front of the camera. He taught us how to pose comfortably, he made us laugh during our entire shoot, and best of all, he made us feel like my fiance and I were on a date and that he was just there to photograph the memories!
    On the day of my wedding, Peter and his team showed up and made me feel so calm and relaxed. Peter and his team took my day just as seriously and passionately as I did. They went out of their way to get the perfect shots and paid so much attention to detail. I HIGHLY recommend working with Peter for any (and all) of your events. I truly hope I can work with Peter again in the future! I am so thankful that I hired Peter as our photographer! Thank you again, Peter, for being more than a photographer...you became a friend to my husband and I from the very start of this planning process and we cannot thank you enough! ❤️

    Incredible Wedding Photographer!

    My husband and I had an amazing experience with Peter as our wedding photographer. He was extremely professional and put my anxiety at ease (as much as he could!). He sent a few of his favorite photos, only a day after the wedding, for us to view 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!

    Competent in all aspects

    We got in touch with Peter through Yan Schwartzman photography (for whom I've already left a similarly glowing review). Besides taking excellent photos covering a wide range of poses, wedding-goers, and situations, he also had an excellent attitude, dispelling our nervousness and accommodating our requests for goofier pictures. We would (and already have) recommend him to others without a second thought.

    An Amazing Experience

    Peter was referred to us by Yan Schwartzman Photography, and we had the pleasure of corresponding with the both of them while planning our wedding. Yan handled the business aspects (contacts and payments) and Peter did all of the photography for our engagement session and our wedding.

    Peter was super fun to work with and his photography is amazing. I spent a good portion of our engagement photoshoot laughing and smiling because of the jokes that he and my fiance were telling me. Even though it was super windy during the shoot we managed to work with what we had and got really amazing memories as a result.

    Our wedding day was so magical, and we really appreciate that Peter went above and beyond for it. He ended up showing up early in the morning and stayed with us throughout the day until we did the cake cutting and the bouquet/garter toss. It was great having such a reliable photographer with us for our wedding day.

    He came up with lots of amazing poses for us to do and also let us do some silly photos with our bridal party after the serious shots were done. I really appreciated the fact that it felt like my wedding wasn't just a cookie cutter one, and that my photos that we ended up getting were something special and unique.

    We received both our engagement photos and our wedding photos shortly after our sessions. I was super excited to get our wedding photos early (they were given to us a few days before the estimate in our contract, and that made me so excited!) The quality and amount of photos definitely exceeded my expectations, and I can highly recommend Peter for any of your wedding or engagement photography needs.

    He also takes the time to talk to you like a person too, to get into you and your significant other's heads so that he can come up with the perfect poses for you two. It felt like I was spending the day with an old friend while I was working with Peter, which I really appreciated.

    In the end we got tons of wonderful memories to look back on thanks to Peter. I am so happy that we had the chance to work with him, and I can highly recommend contacting him if you want some high quality work from a genuine person.

    On the day of the wedding we met with (in person) our photographer Peter who was a pleasure to work with as well as being a true professional, We would not hesitate to recommend him! Leading up to the wedding his communication was great, he made sure we knew what was going on and was very informative about the timeline of the wedding photos. He has an amazing/creative eye. We were married two weeks ago and already have our photos back!. I cannot say enough positive things about Peter. He made our wedding the best day of our lives. Thank you!!!

    We love Peter! We hired him for our wedding photography next September and did an engagement session with him in October! We recently got our pictures back from that session and we couldn't be happier! Peter did an amazing job and made sure to scope out the location before our shoot. He knew exactly where to go and planned out shots before we even got there! The quality of the pictures we got back was awesome and my photographer-fiance was very impressed! Can't wait to see what he does for our wedding!

    We used Peter for our wedding in august and i was thrilled with how our photos came out. His eye for getting the best shot is impeccable. It was a pleasure to work with him and if i had to do it all over again, i would still have him for my photographer. We planned our NJ wedding from Florida and he did a great job working around our schedule and working through skype and phone appointments. I cant say enough good things.

    Peter is a pleasure to work with as well as being a true professional, I would not hesitate to recommend him! After just viewing his portfolio online he made my short list already, and after meeting with him I was sold (I actually only met with one other photographer, I was done looking after speaking with Peter!). Leading up to the wedding his communication was great, he made sure I knew what was going on and that he had the info he needed without stressing out an already stressed out bride. The day of the wedding he arrived early and scouted out the location for great photo spots while he waited for me to get ready. Even though I through a few curve ball requests at him the day of the wedding he took everything in stride and I credit him personally with keeping us on schedule, I would have been late for my own wedding without him ha! At our ceremony and reception he got lots of great shots without ever making it feel like he was in our or our guests faces. At one point I remember thinking I hadn't seen him in a while only to look over and see him only a few feet from me. And when we got the photos back WOW. My fiance has said multiple times how lucky we are that some people only get one or two nice shots from their wedding and we have enough to fill an entire album. He works his tail off taking photos and it really shows! Thank you again Peter!!!

    Peter was absolutely amazing! He was so attentive and responded very quickly every time I needed him. You can tell that he truly loves what he does and is passionate about marriage and photography. He was a huge hit at the wedding because he was a lot of fun and everyone who got a chance to speak with him loved him! My favorite thing was he was so invested in us and went above and beyond from beginning to end of this process, before and after the wedding. His package was perfect for us and extremely worth it. I would use him for every event I have in the future!!

    Peter is amazing to work with. He's very responsive and flexible and his quality of work is great. We used him for our engagement, then a photo shoot, and the actual wedding (along with a 2nd photographer). He's by far much more competitive than some of the other bids we got and was professional and courteous throughout.

    Peter has an exceptional eye to capture beautiful moments the day of the wedding. He really wants to make sure his clients are happy, and is flexible to try different poses. He, and his second shooter, arrived on-time and worked the whole day. Despite the weather being rainy, Peter helped keep the energy up during all the different photos. The best thing about Peter, that is hard to find from other photographers, is his great responsiveness. Peter works hard to create a personalized experience for each client, and as so continued to answer my many questions and photo requests. He is gracious, kind, and very fair. These are really helpful characteristics when selecting a great photographer!

    We are extraordinarily pleased to have selected Peter and his team to be a part of our special day.

    I booked 1.5 months before my wedding. He was extremely professional, polite and took the time to ask a lot of questions to ensure he understood our needs. The day of the wedding he was on time, courteous and took beautiful photographs. His work is incredibly beautiful and artistic. We are lucky and delighted to have found Peter!
