An Amazing Experience with a Truly Professional Photographer

If we could give 6 stars we would. We had the best experience working with Patrick for our wedding. He was a consummate professional from start to finish; organized, patient, knowledgeable, and a great communicator. I would recommend him to anyone in need of a professional photographer.

Above and beyond

Patrick was amazing. We are so happy with our photos. The overall experience was well worth it - he was knowledgeable about the local area and had excellent suggestions on where to shoot. He was also very organized and time efficient which is key on your big day, less time doing photos means more time enjoying your guests. I would certainly recommend Patrick as a wedding photographer, and for that matter any type of photographs you are considering. Personal touch and consideration go a long way when talking about capturing personal photos - Patrick has both and his photos speak for themselves. Thank you Patrick!

Most beautiful wedding pictures

Patrick is the best! The photos came out so beautiful, he came very prepared and captured every little detail. He helped with making everyone comfortable when taking formal portraits and posing them so the photos came out perfect and not looking stale or awkward. Some of the candid shots he was able to get are my favorites as well! He definitely knows how to get the best shots during all parts of the wedding, including some killer dance photos. They’re everything I had hoped for and more! I would 100% recommend Patrick!
