    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!

    Oh man, you just made my day! Thanks so much, you two, I had a great time working with you both and meeting your friends and families. Cheers to you!

    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!

    Absolutely amazing!

    Patrick was absolutely amazing to work with and and captured our wedding day perfectly! Each step along the way, Patrick was extremely knowledgable and listened to our questions and what we wanted. On our wedding day, Patrick showed up early, made sure that he captured the pictures and moments we wanted, and seamlessly captured our wedding. Patrick's photos are stunning, and we have purchased many for ourselves and our family. We never had to worry about anything when it came to photography because of Patrick. He is incredible and absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer for their wedding.

    Fantastic Experience with Patrick and Team

    I had a wonderful experience with Patrick for my special day. He was professional, prepared, a great communicator, and very organized. He arrived on time, brought all the necessary equipment, and scoped out the best spots for the photos. He listened to my preferences and suggestions, and also offered his own creative ideas. He was friendly and courteous with everyone, and made us feel comfortable and relaxed. He captured all the important moments and emotions of the wedding, and delivered the photos in a timely manner. The photos came out beautiful, with amazing colors, lighting, and angles. They were high-quality and well-edited, and I loved how he used different styles and effects to create a variety of shots. He really showcased his talent and skill as a photographer, and I am so happy with the results. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a wedding photographer!

    Thanks Alexa, I had a great time working with you and Moe, as well as your entire bridal party and family. I hope we cross paths again soon someday. My best to you both!

    Breathtaking Wedding Pictures in Ogunquit

    We got married at the Beachmere Inn in Ogunquit, Maine in June, and hired Patrick as our photographer based on his portfolio and a phone call where he was already knowledgable about the location and venue. On the day of the wedding, Patrick got along great with everybody in the wedding and was efficient in helping us get through the large list of photos that we hoped for; he even had backup plans ready in case the wedding ended up being rainy. We also appreciated that he made a point to try to get candid pictures of each of the guests during our reception. We were extremely impressed when we saw the final pictures, and shared them immediately with our families and friends.

    Patrick is the best!

    Patrick photographed our wedding in June in York, Maine. We were SO impressed. We knew that the photos were going to be amazing from looking at his previous work, but we were left absolutely speechless! The photos were incredible. Patrick was SO professional, and the attention to detail was unparalleled. We had to contend with some rainy weather, and instead of it being a barrier, he totally used it to our advantage- capturing some of the most amazing and memorable moments of our wedding! Choosing someone to capture your wedding is no easy feat, but choosing Patrick is a no-brainer. Our wedding is perfectly captured because of him!

    patrick mcnamara photography's reply:

    Thanks so much, Amy & Mitch. Your positive attitude despite the poor weather conditions inspired me that much more to knock it out of the park. My best to you both, please keep in touch. Cheers!

    Simply the Best

    Patrick came highly recommended from our wedding venue. After our first phone call we knew we were in good hands. Patrick is not only a professional in how he handles business; his photography skills are unmatched. We received so many positive comments after we posted our snowy engagement pictures and couldn’t wait to see the pictures from our wedding day. Patrick continued to show his professionalism on the big day and his added charisma allowed for the day to flow seamlessly. In less than one week we received our wedding pictures. So beautiful! We can’t wait to work with Patrick in the future. He’s now our go-to photographer for every event & life moment. Simply the best!

    PM Photography

    We have had the distinct pleasure of utilizing Patrick McNamara for both our engagement night and our wedding day. We contacted Patrick via a cold call and ended up hitting lottery. Patrick is an absolute expert at what he does. He is incredibly personable, detail oriented and has an amazing ability to capture raw emotions and stunning formals. After returning from our honeymoon we sat down one evening to go through the gallery he had sent off while we were away. We were experiencing speechlessness as we clicked through the nearly 1000 frames from our special day. It was as if we were in the metaverse re-living all the events from the day. Beyond that, there were some moments that took place that we had no idea how he managed to capture all the angles he did, it's superpower-esque.

    One idea we debated for awhile was whether or not to hire a videographer, if you hire Patrick you do not need a videographer. Patrick's ability to photograph on the move combined with his keen vision means almost every second of your day has a still in the gallery to relive without video feed. Patrick also has a pure and genuine interest in all of his clients, this provides an extra level of magic, as you begin to form a bond over time. Here's to Patrick for making our special day one that NONE of our guests will forget and will always talk about!

    Captured our Winter Elopement Perfectly!!

    Patrick was a joy to work with both initially over the phone and email as well as in person on our big day. We got blessed with beautiful winter snow showers during our entire wedding day and the moments Patrick and his assistant Luke captured will truly be treasured for years to come!

    If you are looking for a professional, flexible, fun, and highly talented photographer. Patrick is your guy!!

    More than just photos (for remote planners)

    We were planning out wedding in York, Maine from Baltimore. Patrick was really helpful with helping us build our timeline because he helped us understand what was feasible, reasonable, and possible. He helped us make the most use of his time by building a timeline that took advantage of our getting-ready time, transportation, a first look, and the other important moments during the day. Most importantly, he was flexible on the day of our wedding. We were running behind so he pulled us aside before dinner to ensure we got some great sunset photos, and we checked in with us later in the night to be sure we were happy with the photos he got before he left. My husband and I are not used to having our pictures taken, so he was organized and comfortable at directing us to ensure our photos looked natural, engaging, and beautiful. After our wedding, Patrick got us our photos in UNDER ONE WEEK - totally unexpected that he would be that fast, but so exciting to be able to see them right away. 10/10 would recommend Patrick

    Thanks for the kind words Hailey, I'm honored to have been a small part of such a special day for you and Artie. Cheers!

    One Word… Incredible!

    My (now) husband and I saw Patrick’s name on all of the preferred vendor lists at the different venues we looked at and brought his name up when doing an initial interview call with our DJ. At that point we were told, “If you can book Patrick… he’s a cut above everyone”. Once we had our initial call with Patrick we knew we wanted him to photograph our wedding. We started with our engagement photos where he drove to a lighthouse over 2 hours from Portland to shoot at a location that was meaningful to me. Then throughout the wedding planning I needed some feedback on vendors and general wedding questions. Patrick on numerous occasions fielded emails and was more than willing to offer advise. Finally came our wedding day, everyone was complimenting his professionalism and enthusiasm. Everything came together perfectly! Patrick’s photos are truly phenomenal! His attention to the details, lighting and overall composition comes through in all of his photos. We can’t recommend Patrick enough!

    Wonderful experience with Patrick

    Patrick photographed our September wedding in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and we were so incredibly happy with his work. From the initial planning calls to the day of, he was incredibly detail-oriented and prepared. On the day of, he was a calming presence and a joy to have with us throughout the day at each of the locations he photographed (getting ready in a small apartment, first look at a park, wedding at a church, cocktail hour in a garden and dinner/reception in a large auditorium). He can do it all! We absolutely love our photos and would highly recommend Patrick.

    We love Patrick McNamara!

    My husband and I have nothing but good things to say about our experience with Patrick on our wedding day. We had a huge (and somewhat rowdy) wedding party of 28 close friends and family. Patrick and his team managed the formal photo process with professionalism and patience. We got married at the Union Bluff Meeting House, and he knew the venue very well - so he was able to manage our whole day with ease. He captured the entire ceremony and reception beautifully and I'm so glad we chose him!

    patrick mcnamara photography's reply:

    Thanks for your kind words, Jackie, you guys were such a fun group to work with. I think your bridal party was the largest I've ever photographed and I've been doing this for quite some time now. Simply a fantastic celebration!

    Highly Recommend!

    We cannot say enough great things about working with Patrick for our wedding! From our initial phone call through to receiving our wedding photos Patrick has been phenomenal to work with. Patrick is highly organized and was very helpful in mapping out the timeline for our wedding day, which then made the rest of our planning very easy. He is incredibly kind, personable, and professional – we really enjoyed having him at our wedding. Patrick was familiar with our venue and knew exactly when and where to get the best photographs. And last but not least, Patrick’s photographs are absolutely STUNNING. He really captured us, our guests, and our whole wedding day perfectly, and we could not have dreamed of anything more. We highly recommend Patrick, he was simply magnificent to work with!

    I highly recommend Patrick as a wedding photographer. His pictures are stunning and his knowledge and professionalism are unparalleled. He was such a fantastic resource to have throughout the wedding planning process as well, always offering help with finding other vendors & such. He really makes you feel at ease leading up to wedding day & on the day itself. I am so happy to have had Patrick capture our day!

    One word... Amazing

    Patrick was an absolute pleasure to work. He was very professional and had a great attitude from our initial call to our engagement shoot and actual wedding day. He had us laughing throughout the day and made the wedding day seamless. Our pictures of the wedding day came out stunning, we could not be happier. I would recommend Patrick 100 times over to shoot your wedding- it would actually be a big mistake not to use him on your big day!

    WOW! Couldn't have had anyone better!!

    Patrick couldn't have been better! He was flexible, accommodating, and GOT us as a family and a couple! He was able to make us laugh and really have authentic pictures (especially towards the end when as the bride we get especially tired of photos!). I would use him for any event and will definitely again!

    Amazing Photographer!

    I’ll start this by saying I’m a wedding photographer….When My daughter started dating her now husband, I knew pretty quickly he was going to be “the one” so I started stalking photographers because I knew I couldn’t work on her wedding day. I knew one thing and that was that he/she had to be better than me. I knew I found my person and as soon as we booked the venue I called him. Our first conversation was over an hour and I felt like I had met the male version of me. My daughter told me on her wedding night that she felt like we were twins. When we had our initial conversation he asked me to leave my camera home and I’m so thankful I did. Patrick by far exceeded our expectations. He truly captured our daughter and our new sons day beautifully. I’m so thankful I chose Patrick to capture this day and because I stayed out of his way and allowed him to work his magic the majority of the pictures were a complete surprise to me! I would give Patrick McNamara Photography a million stars if I could!!

    Amazing photographer for our wedding day!

    We recently got married on 10/02/21 at the Nonantum Resort in Kennebunkport, Maine with Patrick as our photographer and I can't express how perfect everything was! From the beginning he explained to me and my husband how our wedding day would flow in terms of pictures of us getting ready to walking down the isle to our reception. He knew exactly where to get the perfect shot and made sure to capture everything and everyone in the photos....and more! He is super responsive, honest and reliable - with a quick photo turn around! We couldn't be happier with how everything came out, we highly recommend Patrick!

    Amazing Photographer!

    We truly couldn't have asked for a better photographer to capture our perfect day! Throughout the entire experience from engagement photos up until the wedding Patrick was responsive, extremely helpful, and always willing to listen to our ideas for the big day. I also give him 5 stars for putting up with our rowdy bridal party! The photos are amazing and we can't wait to share them with our family and friends.

    Amazing Wedding Photographer!!

    We could not have imagined a better wedding photographer than Patrick - he is amazing!! Not only are our wedding pictures absolutely beautiful, but he was truly such a great person to work with. He has the highest professionalism (I am confident that there is no one more responsive than he is) and because of his vast experience and expertise he was able to provide incredibly helpful insight and knowledge throughout the wedding planning process. On our wedding day, he seamlessly toed-the-line of keeping everyone on track and focused while making sure we were all laughing and having fun. Our family and friends overwhelmingly sung his praises as well. We could not more highly recommend Patrick for a wedding photographer!

    Incredible from start to finish!

    Patrick took our proposal and engagement photos, and there aren't enough great things that I can say about him. From his attention to detail to his eye for finding the perfect shot, our photos turned out so wonderfully. It has been a week so far and we (along with our friends and family) are still completely blown away from our photos. I would highly recommend Patrick to anyone looking for wedding or engagement photography in the area. Thank you again Patrick!
