About Albany Capture

Hi, I’m Pedro, the heart behind Albany Capture. I’m a Chicago-based photographer blending candid photojournalism with fine-art creativity to tell your story. I’ve spent years honing my craft – from studio sessions to gallery exhibits – and I bring that experience to your wedding day. What does that mean for you? Breathtaking, real moments caught on camera.

I live for the unrehearsed smiles, happy tears, and dance-floor antics.

My approach is deeply personal: by the time your wedding arrives, I won’t feel like “the photographer” but a friend you trust to capture every emotion. It’s your day, and I want you to feel safe, celebrated, and totally at ease – even if you usually feel camera-shy. (Don’t worry, I’ve got plenty of tricks to make you laugh and forget the camera is there!)

Staying Sustainable

Some practices I adhere to are:

  • Use digital contracts, invoices, and brochures instead of printed paperwork. 

  • Avoid single-use plastic items when shooting on location (such as water bottles).

  • Bring reusable water bottles or coffee cups for team members.

  • Use LED or energy-saving bulbs in the home office.

  • Power down computers and electronics when not in use.

  • Whenever possible, carpool or use public transportation to get to shoots.
