Bride walking through a painted château doorway
★★★★★

From the very beginning it was clear he has been doing this for years and knows exactly what to do. Before every shoot he prepared the space himself, moved things around and set everything up.

Since we also had English-speaking guests, Peter’s fluent English was a huge plus. He talked with them easily and told them where to stand, which made everything so much easier for us.

What surprised us most was that on the wedding day itself, around midnight, he sent us a first selection of highlight photos that we could share with our guests straight away.

My fiancé and I stumbled upon his page on IG, loved his eye and decided on him within a day. He was super responsive on IG and WhatsApp, really fluent in English and, most importantly, meticulous.

We flew from Singapore to Budapest to have him shoot our pre-wedding photoshoot at Fisherman’s Bastion, and absolutely no regrets. I highly recommend him, even if it takes flying him over to shoot.

Peter is a very nice person and an amazing photographer. It was very important for us to have somebody who listens to our wishes and can feel what we want or not. Peter is that person, and it was great to have him on our big day.

Peter arrived at the venue a day before the wedding to ensure that everything was in place and that no detail would be missed. Since his arrival we felt like we had known him for years, even though we had only met through video call once before the wedding.

Throughout the entire wedding day, Peter worked tirelessly… he didn’t take a single break! Instead of unwinding like most would, he started editing photos right away so that we could have a preview of our wedding images the very next morning. The final photos were absolutely stunning.

Peter photographed our September 2023 wedding in Prague and we couldn’t be happier that we chose him! 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 look awkward. Peter immediately put us at ease and is excellent at directing you in a natural way.

Peter was the absolute best photographer I could have asked for. He was super easy to talk to and made both me and my husband feel extremely comfortable. We received a small album the day after so we could share photos with our families, since we eloped abroad, and received the rest of the images in less than 2 weeks. If you’re on the fence about booking him, DO IT!

I can’t say enough great things about Peter! Not only did he help manage and produce the video element of our wedding in Prague, he also took his own incredible photos, and met up with my bride and me to take some amazingly special photos of us by the house she grew up in. He is a kind and very professional guy with so much artistic talent. We found a great creative and made a great friend along the way.

Peter is an exceptional photographer! We had an amazing photoshoot in the city of Prague. Not only did he communicate well in advance and carefully plan the shooting spots, but he also patiently guided us to pose, and we were very satisfied with the photos.

Peter is not only an excellent photographer but also a great person. We shared not only our wedding day with him, but also a couple shoot in New York, which we still remember very fondly. His professional yet warm, human approach helped us feel natural in front of the camera. The photos are beautiful and capture the emotions and atmosphere of those moments perfectly.

Peter is incredibly passionate about his work, which leads to him doing such a great job. On the wedding day, he was great about getting all of the shots, while still making sure that everyone enjoys the day. We also had a great pre-wedding photo shoot with Peter in NYC. The pictures are stunning and timeless.

We absolutely loved working with Peter. He was professional and incredibly knowledgeable, while also keeping things casual during what can be a hectic day. His photos were stunning, and he had so many staging ideas and poses in mind that we had not even thought of. He was responsive and easy to work with. We would highly recommend him!

Peter is a wonderful person and truly a professional. Taking pictures with him was so easy, fun and creative. My husband hates taking pictures and Peter instantly put him at ease, so we all felt really comfortable.

Working with him was an amazing experience. He approached it very professionally, but also artistically. He listened to me, met all my requests, recommended the location (we did the shoot in beautiful Budapest) and guided us around it, and sent the edited photos very quickly without any loss in quality.

My husband, who hates having his photo taken, relaxed too! There was no pressure and no feeling of being lost, because he explained the poses very simply.

Peter, thank you for the great work and for capturing our wedding day so beautifully! From start to finish we were completely satisfied, not only with the result but also with your human and professional approach. It was clear already during the preparations that you do your work with heart.

The result is beautiful photos and a wedding album full of memories, where the hardest part was choosing just a few shots, because every one had its own charm.

Peter is an amazing photographer who captured our wedding day perfectly. He did much more for us than we ever imagined. He was there for us the whole day, beyond what we had agreed, and always knew what was needed. When guests got nervous or didn’t know what to do next, he naturally took care of them, put them at ease and created beautiful portraits and candid shots at the same time.

We couldn’t have chosen a better photographer. We did a pre-wedding “date” photoshoot and he also photographed our wedding. We thought we weren’t photogenic, but what Peter managed to do with us is incredible! We had our wedding on probably the hottest day of the year. A friend still remembers that when he saw a pram with a sleeping baby in the sun, he moved it into the shade. Whenever our guests look at the photos, they say: “the photographer was such a nice guy”.

From the first contact he was very kind, helpful and friendly. Thanks to his approach, we felt completely natural and relaxed throughout the wedding day. The photos are beautiful and captured exactly the most beautiful moments of our day. We love their style, their quality and that they show real emotions and the atmosphere of the whole day.

Peter is the most skilled photographer I know! Working with him felt like spending time with a friend. He caught the candid moments throughout the wedding and helped coordinate the group photos. The photos are full of love, joy and fun, exactly how we want to remember our wedding.

We can only recommend Peter as a wedding photographer. The photos are really beautiful even though we didn’t have the best light (rain, clouds), and working together was easy and pleasant. We also loved the pre-wedding shoot, where we got to know each other and knew what to expect on the wedding day.

Mr. Rigo photographed our wedding in July 2022 and we were very satisfied with his work. We especially appreciate that he captured not only the main moments, but also many details and situations we didn’t even notice on the day. We still love going back to the photos years later.

We worked with Peter at Aranybástya. We played acoustic music and he captured the moments with his camera. Since I also do photography, I always like to make friends with the photographers at an event. Peter has a great presence, communicates well, directs people well and uses light to his advantage. I like his pictures; the colours are beautiful.

Peter photographed our wedding in June 2022 and our experience was great! Peter is the perfect balance of casual, professional and friendly. 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! The photos were beautiful and delivered quickly, and I really appreciated the small sneak peek just a day or so after the wedding.

Peter was our wedding photographer in NYC. The wedding was planned from outside the US and even though there was a 6-hour time difference between us, we had no problem getting in touch with him to discuss all the details. He was very responsive and full of ideas, but at the same time keen on understanding our vision, taste and dynamics. He truly has an eye for getting cool shots and capturing emotional moments.

We were lucky enough to have him as our wedding photographer and did an engagement session with him as well! He is the perfect combination of really fun and super chill. He made us feel at ease throughout the entire process. My husband is a photographer himself and was very impressed with Peter’s skills.
