Fred Vero Photography

by providing specific details. He proves his experience through the end result of a stunning wedding album. We couldn't be more thrilled with Fred's work as he is extremely easy to work with and response time is exceptional!

y recommend for anyone looking for a photographer. We loved him!

e turned out any better. I would highly recommend Fred!!

en thought about and made suggestions that greatly improved the wedding. The photos and edits done by him were very nice. He was able to do everything we wanted and more.

his incredible balance between being a consummate professional while also making you feel like you're just making plans for the weekend with a friend. Right off the bat, Fred wanted to know and cared about what we, as a couple, wanted. He was able to outline how most ceremonies go (literally down to 5-minute chunks), provide best practices for getting the shots we wanted, and help guide us in avoiding common issues he'd run across during his time in the business. My partner and I are very detail-oriented people, and Fred was willing to get down to the minutes with us on things like: - How long would a shot take - How would that fit into the overall flow of the wedding - Where we could carve out time to get those special moment photos - When would we be sick of having formal photos taken of us All of which we both appreciated greatly. As an added unexpected bonus, Fred is INCREDIBLY knowledgeable about the Pittsburgh scene. We were so impressed by Fred's process that we booked him for our engagement photos, where we thoroughly enjoyed not only his commitment to getting the best photos on a close to 100-degree day but also his random tidbits of knowledge about the surrounding area. It really helped keep the process fun on an otherwise oppressively hot day. Really though, all of these things are just side shows (seriously) to Fred's two greatest strengths: His ability to be invisible while taking photos and how he lets you be in the moment. Fred and his team do a phenomenal job of not interrupting what you're doing to try and get a good shot, and he does what needs to be done to ensure that shot is captured. Trust me, I've seen him pull off some real beach model poses off to the side on the floor to get the right angle. Say one thing about Fred, he’s a man committed to getting the shot. Also, how he manages not to be in the way is downright spooky. So much so that when we were showing these photos to our families, most of them could not remember seeing him or Lucia (his second photographer) anytime after the ceremony, and yet we had HUNDREDS of photos to prove that, not only was he there, but he was doing a bang-up job the whole time. Really, I could go on and on about Fred Vero Photography, but at this point I’d be repeating myself, so here's what I'd tell you. If you're looking for a photographer who will get you the best shots, care about your event, and most importantly, care about you as a person and not just another booking, I would pick Fred Vero Photography every time.

ely well prepared for our wedding day, from helping us organize our list of desired photos ahead of time by meeting with me, my husband, and our mothers 1-2 times leading up to the wedding to being ready with a sewing kit not once but TWICE during the day when our best man's pants ripped (oops) and then the strap of my dress needed repaired! Fred is incredibly kind, personable, and not to mention very talented and knowledgeable about his craft and the wedding industry as a whole. A lot of our wedding day was spent with out closest friends and family, and Fred did a wonderful job capturing all of the moments that made the day. I definitely recommend him for your wedding!

zing photographs he captured at our reception and another session we had with him prior to it, but with how much he cared about our story behind it all before we even chose him as our photographer. From the moment we first reached out to him, he was attentive and responsive to any questions we had and made us feel like family through our conversations. He goes above and beyond, capturing not only what you request or expect to have pictures of that day, but also hits all the tiny things that you will miss because you are so busy. Our experience with Fred was beyond amazing and we highly recommend him as a wedding reception photographer, surprise (adoption) announcement photographer, and engagement photographer; however, we are sure that he will excel in whatever session he chooses to take on!

hotos with small tweaks that didn’t look overly edited. He was very attentive through the entire wedding planning process. He started by giving me ideas on engagement photo locations which we decided to do it at my venue which I loved. He was very informative about small details to think about which was super helpful. He stayed in contact with me through the months between our engagement photos and leading up to the wedding which I really appreciated. We met in person multiple times where he actually helped up form our timeline and went over it multiple times to make sure everyone was on track, as well as called the night before the wedding to double check everything was still how we planned. He went above and beyond helping plan and give ideas I didn’t even think about that needed to be done the day of. We had a fairly large list of portraits which he asked for prior to the wedding and although we had a rowdy group of groomsmen, he did wonderfully keeping everyone on track and getting the large list of photos I requested which turned out better than I could imagine. We also had a fairly larger guest list at the reception and he was able to get a group photo which him and our DJ coordinated to get and I will cherish that forever. I would recommend to any bride because of his beautiful photos and because he was one vendor I never had to worry about, knew he’d show up and do wonderfully like he did and got our photos back to us with no issues!

a mutual friend. He answered all of our questions and was very patient. We hired him as our photographer and we got a friendship too. The day of our wedding he was prompt and very professional. He took mine and my husbands needs top priority. You will not be disappointed when you hire Fred Vero! Highly recommend.

ied to messages immediately, always made plenty of time to chat with us, and let us make the decisions of how we wanted our wedding to go. He offered his expertise and tips for our wedding to go smoothly. We were so thankful for that because it was things you would never know or ever think about. In regard to photos, absolutely beautiful and amazing! His editing abilities are clearly spectacular. We are getting our album from him as well and could not be happier with hiring Fred as our wedding photographer. Thank you, Fred! So blessed to have worked with you!

r flexible to find times that worked with my husbands crazy work schedule! He is so knowledgeable about all wedding information and was able to help us with our timeline and various other things! Everyone is so impressed with our wedding pictures and we couldn’t be happier! Fred was able to take so many amazing photos without being in the way! I will definitely be recommending him to everyone!

asy to talk to. Not to mention our photos turned out beautifully. We would highly reccomend Fred to everyone!

e and insight. Stunning photos and prints. I could not be happier about my experience with Fred Vero Photography!

s “job description”. Fred provided us with references for other services we would be needing. He took time to discuss what we wanted as well as recommend amazing ideas we never would’ve thought of! During the wedding Fred was phenomenal. He was EVERYWHERE but nowhere!! His second shooter was wonderful as well! Fred made sure to capture every single moment; Despite the bad weather and changing photo plans last minute. Moments that both my husband and I would’ve missed without the amazing photos taken. After the wedding I received SO SO SO many compliments regarding Fred. My guests made a point to tell me how amazing they thought he was. The compliments ranged from Fred being personable, professional, discrete, kind, artistic and that he was everywhere. All of which is VERY TRUE. The pictures he took are stunning and I will truly cherish them. Fred gave us something that goes beyond just pictures. Our photos are truly magical. Fred was such a huge part of our wedding. Literally start to finish. We feel so blessed to have had someone so amazing be a part of our day. Fred Vero Photography EXCEEDED our expectations.

y. He is prompt and quick to respond to messages and very easy to communicate with. He truly is an expert in his field, and with his years of experience he was able to help us plan out all of the photographs we wanted to make sure we got on our wedding day as well as how our wedding day was going to unfold. He was an integral part of planning the timeline for the day of our wedding. We appreciate all of the thoughtfulness and consideration he took into crafting each photograph. We also especially appreciated all of the creative touches he incorporated into our photos which were reflective to who we are as a couple. The gallery we received of our wedding photos is absolutely stunning which we will cherish for years to come. Fred truly was able to capture the magic of our wedding day. We would highly recommend Fred to our friends and family as a wedding photographer.

. We were sold right away. Even through the pandemic rescheduling our wedding, Fred kept in touch to make sure things were well. We finally reached our wedding day and Fred was on point the whole time. One of the first things he told us was that if we barely see him on the wedding day, that means he's doing his job. He took some amazing photos that we will never forget. We were lucky to find him and have him be such a big part of our wonderful day.

absolutely beautiful. We are so thankful we chose Fred Vero!

to change plans due to rain. Highly recommend.

daughter got the most amazing wedding photos I have ever seen! We could not be happier with the quality of his work. You will not be disappointed with Fred!

or our day! Fast forward to March 2020. Covid hit and the world shut down. I text Fed with concern for the unknown that we would experience in the months to come. He instantly called me, tears overcame me. The day I had always dreamed of was in jeopardy of not happening. Fred listened to all my concerns we talked of all the what if’s and by the end of our call I was laughing knowing that regardless of what was happening in the world Fred would be there taking stunning photos of our day. July 11 2020 rolls around. The day was stunning, one to remember forever. Fred was there every step of the way a true asset to making our dream day perfect. When you book with Fred you get way more than just a photographer, he is a true professional and wedding expert!

pecifically had in mind, plus ones we didn’t even think of ourselves! Overall, amazing job!

the event planner for the venue was amazed at Fred’s creativity in his pictures. I cannot wait for Fred to take our pictures for our reception in September! We highly recommend Fred!

efore even shooting pictures the day of—our time line for the day, any special shots that we wanted, details of our decor, etc. He was so helpful to even give suggestions, such as making sure the ceremony piece wasn’t in position with the sun to cause us to squint during our vows. Fred made us feel so at ease in front of the camera. He had no problem getting down on the ground to get the perfect shot!!! And he walked all over the property to capture the beautiful fall foliage for us. He never stopped!! I love the moments that he captures when you don’t even realize he is snapping pictures! His photo editing is of superb quality, too!! He is a top of the line photographer with a fantastic personality!! My entire family was impressed with him; very professional and personable. He was more than a photographer; more like family!! I will absolutely request him for future photo shoots in the future for special occasions. If he is available for your date, snag him while you can!!!

ything! He did everything he could to get the perfect shot, including laying on the ground! He is extremely talented and passionate with what he does!!! Thanks Fred!!!

erson. Fred is knowledgeable of the whole wedding planning process. He did a mock timeline with us and we referred to it frequently. It proved to be very helpful! On our wedding day, he was professional, timely, & personable. He made everyone at ease whether adults or children (flower girl). Because he is very personable, it made photo sessions comfortable. He gave us good direction while we were still looking natural. He doesn't hesitate to get on the ground to get the perfect angle. We definitely recommend Fred Vero!

y efficient in the short time we had for formals photos and we were able to get everything we wanted. I would not hesitate to recommend Fred to anyone asking for a wedding photographer.

shots. Fred keeps things moving and is very organized. We all had a great experience on my sons special day. Thanks Fred

e awesome! We love ALL of them!

gagement photos due to the weather. He also met with us again before the wedding to discuss the schedule and photos that we wanted to get. On the day of the wedding, it was really relaxing knowing that Fred knew our plan and he was sure to get everything we discussed. (Even the difficult shots). His editing and creativity is incredible. Booking with Fred was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding.

e advice. He was also vital in creating our wedding day timeline. He has so much experience that he knew where to build in extra time for photos (like that we would need more time for pictures of us getting ready than I was anticipating), travel, etc. On the day of our wedding he was prompt and professional, and we ended up paying him to stay longer which he was so nice about. Having Fred as our photographer gave me peace of mind that not even our wedding coordinator had provided. All that, plus the pictures are gorgeous! He really captured our day well, and we really couldn't be happier. It did take about two months to get all of our photos - but that's because he was working on them and many other weddings at the same time (he's in high demand). The results were definitely worth the wait! I would absolutely recommend using Fred!

mfortable. Our dogs are a huge part of our life, but they aren’t always easy to photograph but Fred managed to capture those perfect moments with them. I’m so grateful to have these wonderful pictures to look at for the rest of our lives. Thank you Fred!

r any pre-meetings as well as the big day itself, and he was willing to figure out a way to accommodate our unique agenda. Most of all, though, I am pleased with our photos. I wanted memories that would help me remember everything and we find ourselves often smiling at the special candid moments he captured. They were so genuine and real. I would certainly recommend!

nd and I dreamed of. Thank you so much Fred for helping make our special day So memorable!! You are fantastic!!

enjoy them for years to come. We definitely recommend him for your wedding or event needs!!!

e! He has a great personality, very easy to get a long with and he’s open minded to new ideas and suggestions. My Husband and I are very happy with his work. He has truly captured so many special moments throughout the day. Fred was also very good at keeping in touch, which is something very important in a vendor. If you are looking for someone personable and professional, Fred Vero is your guy. You won’t be disappointed!

and he worked to make this day what we wanted and not what he thought it should be. He was filled with tons of ideas and suggestions. He kept in touch and met every time-frame. He had a great rapport with everyone, he was also smiling, communicating with us and treating us with dignity and respect and showing pride in his work all the time. We never had to go find him at the venue, he was always ready and available. He did not have a limit to how many pictures we wanted, he just snapped away. We used a second photographer and the professional relationship mirrored what we had already been experiencing for a few months. I highly recommend Fred Vero. Check out his work and have suggestions of your own and he will make the magic come to life. He is all in for you when it comes to making memories. His business information will remain in my referral lists and for my own use. For the work and relationship thus far, I would say his pricing is fair and affordable if you want quality and quantity.

d and Fred was so sweet and patient with her! And the pictures turned out great! Beautiful quality! Makes me super excited to see what he does for our wedding! As far as pricing, they are super reasonable for the quality of work he puts into them. I recommend to look at each package that best suits you. And he is more than willing to talk to you to help you decide. I'm so happy we went with him! <3

g day. We highly recommend him as a photographer for your engagement and wedding photos.

helped plan times that different things need to be coordinated at! Huge help! He has an eye for photography. I could not think of one bad thing to say about him . BOOK HIM TODAY!

e to weather, but Fred was easy and fast to reschedule us and fit us in. I definitely would recommend Fred as he makes scheduling and photo sessions easy getting you the shots you wanted, and even ones you never though you wanted!

or wanted he made sure to listen to me and was open to everything. He actually brought me a stool to the church in case I wasn’t able to stand through the entire church service. He is honestly the best decision we made through this process and I wished I could give him ten stars! He’s amazing!!!

t the time!) to discuss what types of photographs we wanted (and didn't want). He was extremely thorough and professional. He takes great pride in his work, as he should! We got the basic package (we're minimalists) but the quality of the photos was outstanding! He captured some really beautiful moments, and like all great wedding photographers he was neither seen nor heard. We were extremely fortunate that Fred was available for our wedding. You absolutely will not regret hiring this man to document one of the most important days of your life!

ry laid back and low key in our planning and execution of a wedding and Fred was able to capture some great moments despite our lack of cooperation! Such a pleasant experience!
