Two17 Photo & Cinema

I absolutely loved working with Pete. He was so easy to work with and wonderful to talk to. He really got my husband's and my personality and worked great with us to make our pictures easy and perfect. We really enjoyed working with him and would highly recommend him to anyone. He listened to us, took our feedback and made us feel very comfortable. More...

We LOVED everything about 217 Photography. We found Pete's work by browsing online, and immediately loved the style of his photos as seen on his blog. Originally, we thought that he was a little over our price range, but we are so glad that we decided to go for it and spend the extra money. He is so nice and friendly to work with, which is so important when someone is capturing your wedding and engagement.

We appreciated that he was always responsive to emails, and willing to skype, as neither of us live in the area now. We were not in a rush to get our video and photo album, but he did get us all of our prints very quickly, and the album was well-worth the wait. We loved being involved in the process of the album, but we trusted them with all of our photos. We will absolutely use 217 photography again! More...

217 Photography was by far the best decision I made for my wedding!! Pete and his team are an absolutely amazing group to work with. From day one speaking with Pete about our wedding I knew he was our guy. He has the most pleasant personality and is very responsive with emails and phone calls! The day of the wedding Pete arrived on time and things ran so smoothly! I am so in love with my wedding photos!!! Pete's work is just so unique and beautiful! I have so much wonderful feedback from family and friends! Hands down this is the team you want!!!!! More...

Once we found Pete and his team at 217 Photography it seemed like all other wedding decisions were trivial. Having a solid wedding photographer and videographer (Pete’s company, First Floor Films) put my mind at ease for the rest of the process. We worked with Pete out-of-state so most of our communication was via email. Not only is he highly responsive, but he’s also very helpful and willing to answer all sorts of questions. The first time we met Pete in person was for our frigid December engagement session. We had never taken professional photographs before and were naturally a little nervous. Pete immediately put us at ease and made us almost forget the camera was there at all. He walked us through the whole process, beautifully capturing both candid and posed shots. Working with Pete felt like we had known him for years – he just made us so comfortable! He has the perfect combination of superior work, hilarious personality and unique style to produce the most amazing images. On our wedding day, Pete captured every little detail of our day. Pete and his team have an incredible eye and just seem to know where to be at the right time. Being able to relive the day through our proofs, printed photos, album(s) and wedding video is absolutely priceless. We cannot say enough good things about the quality of Pete’s work or him as a person. The biggest compliment we can give Pete is that we are looking forward to working with him again. We happily recommend 217 Photography and First Floor Films and promise you will not be disappointed. More...

Pete was such a pleasure to work with. During the stressful time of planning a wedding, he really made everything so easy for me. He is reliable, accommodating and most importantly, he captured the most magical moments from my wedding day, pictures I will cherish forever. I just received my final wedding album and I am so happy with it. Pete is reasonably priced, a professional and just a good guy! Loved having him at our wedding. More...

From our first meeting, we knew Pete was the right choice, he was professional, warm, had ideas about what works but was willing to listen to what we needed from a photographer as well. He was fun to work with, easy to communicate with and was completely unobtrusive on our wedding day. But best of all (and most important when you're talking about a photographer) his photos are beautiful!! They capture the energy and joy of the day shot after shot. I simply cannot recommend Pete and his team highly enough. More...

I have been following Pete from Two17 on Social Media for many years, always admiring his beautiful photography, so when I got engaged in 2014, I knew where to go!

From the first email, Pete was professional, prompt & upfront. After booking, we scheduled our engagement session. Pete has a great eye for unique locations. We ended up with really cool pictures from the quiet side streets in Rittenhouse Square in Philadelphia.

Pete and Alexa were excellent to work with the day of our wedding. Both arrived on time, put us all at ease and kept it light and fun. Pete even helped us with our day of wedding timeline, making sure we didn’t forget anything and keeping us all on track.

My husband and I were thrilled to get a sneak-peek of the pictures just a few days after the wedding, while we were on our honeymoon. The pictures turned out better than I could have ever imagined and our wedding album is absolutely gorgeous! We’re so happy that we made the decision to book Two17 for our wedding! You will not be disappointed with Pete’s work! More...

Pete and his team were absolutely wonderful! I can't recommend them enough. We used him for both our engagement and wedding and the photos from both were absolutely stunning. He was responsive, funny and really understood us as a couple. Not only did he do an amazing job he is worth every penny. We plan on using him in the future as well for other life events. More...

Pete is THE BEST wedding photographer out there!! Besides the fact that all of his photos look absolutely gorgeous, he is so easy to work with. Pete was able to adjust our timeline for day of last minute without any issues. He was very knowledgable about the best locations in the area to use for pictures, and had rainy-day back up locations if needed. We were planning our wedding out-of-state, and Pete was very flexible in having FaceTime meetings and emailing when we weren't able to meet in person. You will not find a better photographer out there! More...

We had Tom photograph our wedding day. He was wonderful! He remained calm and flexible throughout the entire event as we were behind from the get-go since Hilton delayed our check-in! Nonetheless, Tom was a professional! Not only did Tom take beautiful outdoor dusk photos, but he was also able to complete ALL our family photos just in time for the ceremony. More...

Pete and his team were simply amazing to work with. Prior to the wedding, Pete was always available to answer our questions or address our concerns. We also had our engagement pictures taken by Pete, and they came out beautifully!!

On the wedding day itself, Pete and his team were so easy to work with. They knew exactly what shots to take, and made everyone laugh and feel comfortable. Our bridal party and our families absolutely adored them. I truly feel blessed to have had them with me on the big day.

After the wedding, we almost immediately got a teaser video, which I watched about 30 times even while I was on my honeymoon in Hawaii. The video couldn't have been more perfect. Pete also had our proofs ready in less than a month. By far the fastest time ever when I compare my experience to other friends who've gotten married. And the pictures came out better than I imagined. The team captured all the right moments - I was tearing up as I was scrolling through them!

If you're still on the fence about a photographer/videographer, do yourself a favor and hire 217 Photo. They were the best decision we could have made :-) More...

We loved working with Pete and the 217 team for our wedding!! Couldn't have made a better decision. From the beginning, Pete was totally accommodating of all of our requests. Neither of us were particularly comfortable in front of a camera, but he did a spectacular putting us at ease. Pete and the crew were totally unobtrusive but also managed to capture all the moments we wanted (including ones that were completely unexpected). The photo and video from our wedding day turned out better than we could have imagined. After the wedding he was incredibly patient working with us as we curated out unique album. We couldn't recommend going with him more highly. More...

Pete from Two17Photo was fantastic. Not only were the pictures and albums beautiful, but he also helped us plan out the day to make sure we had time to get in all of our pictures while still having time to enjoy cocktail hour ourselves. The photo booth was a hit, and we were able to use part of the venue itself as the back drop. He helped make sure we got every photo we wanted from the formal family shots to a group photo of every person there to staying and capturing the excitement on the dance floor through to the end. Pete was a joy to work with, was very helpful, and gave us some beautiful photos. More...
