More about Patrick J....

What do you love about your job?

Anytime I have a camera in my hand, it's not work, it's play. I love capturing moments. My goal is to capture a moment so meaningful that it ends up hanging in your livingroom. When I hand a client a print and they are brought to tears, I have done my job.

What types of shoots have you done and how did you make them special?

I once shot a newlywed couple on their honeymoon. They wanted to get a photo of themselves sitting on the ledge of a cliff hanging over a deadly 300 foot fall to rock and ocean below. In order to get the shot, I'd have to be in an even more dangerous spot. Of course I did it!

Awards, honors, and recognitions received

I don't care for awards. My award is my client's happiness. There is nothing like having a couple break into tears at the sight of your work. No certificate, ribbon, or plaque compares.

A fun fact about this photographer

I am a CrossFit Coach and competitive Weightlifter, placing 3rd in the State Championships in 2018. My cameras will never be too heavy for me to carry.
