Pete is amazing photographer!!! Our pictures turned out better than we dreamed! He had great ideas for posing, was extremely flexible, and got our pictures to us right away! We could not have asked for a better photographer!

Awesome! Best photographer I've ever dealt with. Couldn't have asked for better on such an important and special day. Would recommend him to anyone for any event.

Pete is extremely professional and easy to work with. He captured every aspect of our daughter's wedding in pictures. We had our pictures, not proofs, within three days of the wedding. The photographs are beyond awesome. He captured beautiful sunset photos, working quickly against the setting sun and they are fabulous. I would highly recommend Pete for photographing your special event.

Are you interested?

Great guy. He got back to you right away for any questions or changes we had. He was a lot of fun, very personable. Made us less nervous about the day and got us to laugh. He was great about giving directions and keeping time. He took beautiful pictures both candied and spontaneous. We were very happy with Pete.

We had Pete for our wedding in August of 2013 and are STILL receiving compliments on how wonderful he was. We received compliments from our guests on his demeanor and they loved him. All of our guests loved him as much as we did and when we got the pictures back, we loved it even more because we had pictures from every aspect of the evening. It was awesome to see so many photos of our guests having a great time. He was there documenting our evening, but not in the way. It was perfect. Our ceremony and pictures of us were wonderful as well! We used his photobooth service also which was a blast! I do not have enough good things to say about his services.

The large photo booth was well liked and well used by the employees. Last year our company used another photo booth company and the booth fit 3-4 people squeezed in , there was not any personalization of the photo-strips. This one was the difference between night and day compared to the one last year. It was large enough to fit probably 10 people in , and the photo -strips were personalized with the company logo and date of event, which was a nice touch! There were a lot of props to use in the pictures as well. Good experience!

I can't say enough good things about Pete as the photographer at my daughters wedding. He worked so hard capturing every moment and his humor helped to keep everyone smiling. We were amazed how quickly the pictures were available and they came out absolutely beautiful. Thank you, Pete,for helping to make the day turn out so perfect.

If I could give Pete 10 stars on this feedback, I would. Pete provided exceptional photographic expertise for my wedding. Every picture, every detail of my wedding was captured by Pete. He is so energetic and was greatly appreciated for this enthusiasm before, during and after the wedding. My mind was at ease the whole day having Pete as my photographer. I did not have to worry about "that special picture" being taken, because Pete knew exactly what I wanted, and knows what every bride wants captured in pictures. He was very flexible with different location shots for the bridal party. The quick turn around time was amazing for when I was able to view my pictures. I cannot say enough about Pete and The Photographic Edge. You will not go wrong with choosing this company, big photographic companies will not give you the personalized attention Pete will give you. Thank you Pete for capturing the memories of my wedding, and providing us with exceptional keepsakes that will be cherished for a lifetime!

Pete was very flexible, he worked around our crazy work hours to meet us and help plan out the day from the photographic timeline. He was open to discussion to see what we and our families wanted from our wedding day. The idea of putting the pictures online to purchase makes it simple and easy for out of town guests to get whatever pictures they like without you being the middle man.

I loved my Photographer Pete! He has a great personality and makes taking all those pictures effortless. He took amazing pictures at my wedding. I have great memories now to look at forever. He was a hit at our wedding. My husband even had fun taking pictures and if you knew my husband you would have been in shock that he actually took pictures and smiled. :) Way to go Pete! Pete also had a great photo booth that I just had to have at my wedding :)!I am so happy I have Time less pictures from the awesome photo booth. The Photo booth was a great Hit at my wedding!!! Everyone loved it. We were able to personalize the photo booth pictures at the bottom with our wedding date and our names. Couldn't have gone any better! Thanks for being so awesome Pete :)

Pete was a professional from the start. He met us at a local bar and shared his portfolio with us over a beer. His website, gotopete.com, is easy to navigate and helped us make our decision to 'go to Pete'. His chops as a photographer are evident in the product-- we could not be more happy with both the quality and quantity of photos. Pete has an exceptional ability to shuffle people and props to get the shot quickly; with a large family this was essential. At the same time he is creative and fun. I will be recommending Pete to all my friends, for any occasion when a true professional photographer is needed. Thank you Pete!

Pete is an awesome photographer and really great to work with. Some of my family members were so impressed by him that they were asking for his card. You can look up photos from the most recent weddings on Pete's website so you get a really good idea of what your wedding photos will look like.

Photographer is amazing. He is a joy and riot to work with and the pictures turned out gorgeous. I didn't realize how awesome we really looked on our wedding day until I saw them. He has a great eye and an awesome sense of humor and listens to what you want to do. We really wanted to make it quick with all the family pictures in the church after the ceremony and he got everything done in record time. This guy will sweat for you!

Pete did an amazing job photographing our wedding and all the events surrounding it. Our parents, friends and family are raving. One friend even said, "I'm going to refer that guy like crazy!" Pete has an awesome personality, to boot, and he will stay as long as he needs to make sure the best moments are captured. We HIGHLY recommend Pete for your wedding photography needs! Don't bother looking anywhere else...

I gave 4.5 for professionalism because he did not remember my name when he sent me the request to take the survey. Other than that I am happy.

did not deliver what was promised

Pete failed to deliver what was promised in the package that we purchased, after the wedding we tried to reach out to him several times with no response. It took 4.5 months to get our pictures, and that was only the proof book. Since receiving that he has since failed to answer any of our emails, and obviously has failed to deliver the wedding book - now nearly 10 months later. In addition he failed to follow our outline for the wedding, which like most weddings includes taking pictures of both the bridal and groom wedding parties getting ready at separate locations - he failed to even come by the groom site, and did not take any at the brides site.

if you want somebody to deliver on what they promised, or what you mutually agreed upon, then Pete is NOT your guy, find someone else.
