Clark Patterson was our photographer and videographer for our wedding, and I honestly can’t say enough amazing things about him. From the moment he arrived, he was prompt, organize...
d, and incredibly kind. He has this calm, professional energy that instantly puts you at ease, which is exactly what you need on such a big, emotional day.
Clark captured everything—the little in-between moments, the big emotional ones, and all the details that meant the world to us. Half the time we didn’t even notice he was there, yet somehow he managed to get every perfect shot. He balanced being present without ever being intrusive, and it made the entire experience so effortless.
Our photos and videos are absolutely stunning, and we’re so grateful to have these memories preserved so beautifully. Clark truly went above and beyond, and I would recommend him in a heartbeat to anyone looking for someone who genuinely cares about their work and their couples.
10/10 experience. If you’re considering him—do it!

We hired Clark Patterson for my daughter's mehendi ceremony, and I’m so glad I did. From the start, he was really easy to communicate with and never made us feel rushed or overlook...
ed. What I really appreciated was that he actually listened to what we wanted instead of trying to push his own style on us. For the mehendi, I had a very specific idea of the kinds of shots I wanted: bright colors, candid laughter, little details of the henna work, and Clark followed through exactly how we asked.
Another big thing for us was budget. Weddings can get out of hand fast, but Clark’s pricing was surprisingly affordable without cutting corners on the quality. It was like getting luxury-level service without the luxury price attached. Thank you.
He showed up on time, stayed as long as we needed, and was patient with all the moving parts and family requests. Most importantly, the end result didn’t feel generic, it felt like our celebration. Clark worked with our instructions, delivered what we asked for, and gave us photos that feel like us. If you’re looking for someone dependable, affordable, and genuinely committed to capturing your day the way you want it, Clark is a solid choice.

ion with me long distance, reserving her date(s), meeting & getting to know the Bride & Groom's vision of their day-(very important!!), arriving early to their selected

The fact that he is a visionary speaks volumes and his experience in "guiding" these Events made her Wedding Day seamless!
I cannot say enough great things about him but will be contracting him in the future for my Nephew and other Niece's special day as well!!
Thank You Clark!! You are a GEM!!

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Clark. He called ahead and got detailed information, and I sent him names of the important relatives. One of my in-laws commented that he ...
seemed to remember everyone’s names. A lot of guests complimented him.
He had lots of helpful advice. He helped the wedding party with those weird four color pocket squares that come with rented tuxes. At the reception, he gave us advice on how to cut the cake. (A small sliver for the ceremony. Cut it into four pieces, etc.)
We got a fabulous deal. My day of coordinator couldn’t believe he gave us unlimited coverage hours.
Clark is a one-man band of sorts, doing video and still pictures at the same kind. There were a couple of moments where I wish we had a better pictures, but we have those moments on video! On my budget, I didn’t think we’d get to have any videography, besides asking a friend to set up a camera at the ceremony. I made the right choice.
We got digital pictures and videos of everything, which so much better than ordering prints from your photographer. Go to Snapfish and save money. He doesn’t do an edited highlight video like more expensive videographers, but those are so expensive. You *only* get that short video with other photographers, and It costs even more for the raw footage. I’m thankful to have raw footage full of smaller moments, as well as the ceremony in it’s entirety. (We also got the pictures and video sooner than expected.)
I would definitely choose him again!!!
