You're not just hiring a photographer—you're gaining a creative partner who’s with you from “yes” to “I do.” I’m Pedro, Creative Director of Albany Capture, and for over 12 years I’ve been documenting love stories through a style that blends photojournalism with fine art. Weddings are more than just events—they're a celebration of connection, and I’m passionate about preserving the real, fleeting moments that make your day unforgettable. To ensure we provide dedicated time and personalized recommendations for your wedding photography and videography needs, we now offer in-depth consultations for a nominal fee of $50.

Awarded Best of Zola
Pedro was absolutely incredible to work with. From start to finish, our engagement session experience exceeded every expectation. He was so communicative beforehand, which immediately put us at ease, and in person he was warm, personable, and genuinely fun to be around. My fiancé and I love taking photos, but we never really know how to pose — and Pedro directed us like a true expert. He made everything feel natural and effortless, and we felt completely comfortable the entire time. We shot at the Art Institute of Chicago, and he captured so many stunning moments. One of the most special parts: while chatting between photos, we casually mentioned that we loved “Paradise Lost” by Raqib Shaw. Before we even realized it, Pedro had taken us there and created the most breathtaking photos in front of it. That thoughtfulness meant so much to us. On top of everything, we received our gallery even sooner than the timeline he originally estimated. The photos are beyond beautiful — truly better than we could have imagined. 10/10. We couldn’t recommend Pedro more!

We’re so glad we chose Jason. We can’t believe how beautiful our photos are. We’re both pretty awkward people and we always look silly in photos. He was so fun and encouraging. He captured every moment beautifully. We’ve never looked so graceful in our lives. We had our wedding at a campground and he arrived early and worked with us to get pictures of our friends and families in that casual setting in our casual clothes. In these pictures and in the photos of our wedding, he made beautiful use of the scenery. He got to know us as a couple and really understood our vision. He gave detailed directions but the photos still look organic and spontaneous. He was also so kind and accessible through the whole process. We didn’t have a planner and he helped us figure out our wedding itinerary even though that was definitely not his job. He has a ton of wedding experience and it shows.

Annie (photographer) and Frankie (videographer) were so professional, organized, kind and calm on the day of. I requsted a mix of candid and posed shots with bright and clean edits and they did just that. Frankie did a great job of capturing our private vows and most important moments to make an amazing video for us. Cannot recommend them enough! Danielle has also always been very responsive to my emails.

First and foremost, congratulations! This is an exciting time! Before I begin with all the details, I would like to do away with the formalities and keep it light. Technically speaking, I’m a photographer, but honestly, since establishing my business in 2014, I would consider myself a teammate through this process. I’ve really enjoyed getting to know couples, their families, their stories, and at the end of the day, becoming a good friend. If this vibes with you, we are off to a good start :) Answering questions, transparency in communication, and prompt responses are important to me and I hope that everything I share resonates.

Wow, we have been blown away by Justin. He did a beautiful engagement shoot for us. His work is incredibly fairly priced, and is truly a steal for the quality and quantity of photos you get. He was prompt at responding to me, getting me his information, and booking our shoot. At the photo shoot, he made us feel so comfortable and like we are the most photogenic people, despite any nerves we may have had. We got previews in less than 24 hours and our full gallery in 2.5 weeks. The photos are gorgeous. It was hard to pick which ones we want to post and which ones we want to use for invitations because they’re literally all SO good! 10/10 would recommend Justin for your photography needs!!

About wedding photographers

How much does a wedding photographer cost?

Wedding photographers early in their careers can cost as little as $1,500. Super experienced photographers, as seen in magazines like Vogue and Vanity Fair, can cost upwards of $30,000. The range is wide, but, in general, you can expect to spend around 10% of your budget on wedding photography. Rates also vary based on wedding length, the services you want, and location. A photographer based in an area with a lower cost of living, for example, will be less than one based in New York or San Francisco.

How much should we tip our wedding photographer?

A good rule of thumb is to tip 10% of their rate, or at least $100. If they’re bringing second photographers or assistants, an additional $50 to $75 per person is an appropriate and nice gesture.

What questions should we ask wedding photographers?

Aside from logistical questions about packages, pricing, and availability, it’s also important to use your conversation to get a sense of their personality. This person will be with you and your loved ones every step of your wedding day, including, if you want, in the dressing room! It’s very important that you and your partner both feel comfortable with them and their working style. Talk about your venue, how you want to feel when you look at your photos, and which photos from their portfolio you like best.
