About

Patrick Perkins is a professional photographer in the Roanoke Valley. His work has been seen throughout Valley through prints, published articles, business showcases and even through advertisements on local billboards. He was recently showcased three separate times in the Roanoke Bride Book magazine. Patrick is a lifetime photographer with both self-taught skills along with classic instruction at Virginia Western Community College. He has a strong connection with the community due to his past career as a police officer in Roanoke City and currently serves as a reserve Deputy with Franklin County. He proudly served with the U.S. Army and is a certified "Veteran Owned Small Business" through the Roanoke Regional Small Business Development Center. He offers a rare ability to connect with his clients due to his experience in helping and serving his community for so many years. With top of the line equipment, programs, and knowledge there is no photo he can not capture. Patrick sets himself aside by being licensed, insured and well versed in all fields of photography and able to give his talents at a reasonable cost. He includes 1st responder and veteran discount on all his products. When hired he does not simply provide photos, he provides an expertise that is far beyond the simple smiling picture. Known by all his client as an "out of the box" thinker, has been known to wade through neck deep water, preform acrobatics for a child's smile, and never been shy when capturing his client's photos. Often his clients not only chose him as their life long photographer, they become his friends and always look to him for their photo needs.

Patrick is the best!

What a great guy! Patrick was so easy to work with, and we are beyond thrilled with the “sneak peek” we’ve seen so far. He is genuine and kind, and has the ability to make anyone loosen up and feel at ease. The result are photos that seem spontaneous, and really reflect the mood of the day. He was referred to us by our day of coordinator from Ashley Rose, and the two of them were an unbeatable combo. We really cared to have exceptional photos, once we saw samples of his work, we knew we’d found the right photographer. Oh, and let me not forget Kelsey Lynn, his wife and second shooter. She captured so many great moments as well! You will not go wrong here!

Patrick Perkins does an absolutely phenomenal job! In addition to taking fantastic photos, he also has a way of making the whole experience feel so casual and stress-free. We first hired him for our wedding and have had him photographing our family milestones and holiday photos ever since!

Patrick takes amazing photos and really knows how to catch “ in the moment “ shots. Our engagement photos led to our wedding and everything from that point forward. He captured a day that will forever be in our hearts but beautifully displayed through his artwork.

As a pastor and chaplain, I have had the opportunity to officiate multiple weddings where Patrick was doing the photography. Each time, he was able to capture candid moments and the special staged shots that the couple wanted. What I most appreciate about Patrick, however, is that fact that he makes it genuinely fun. While he was practically in diapers when I got married, he has done several photo shoots of my family. I have no problem recommending Patrick Perkins Photography to anyone.

My husband and I have both worked with Patrick in the past and when we decided to have a small courthouse ceremony, we couldn’t think of a better photographer. Our wedding was short and sweet but Patrick was able to capture every bit of joy we felt on that day!
