World class photographer!!! We are over the moon with the photos of our wedding. Patrick was so easy to work with and he creates true magic with light in his photos. We couldn't be happier! Thank you so much for capturing what we felt that d...

Thank you for having us out and congrats! I am glad the beautify and happiness of your day showed through in the photos, that is the best compliment we can receive. Cheers to you both!
My now husband and I received so many compliments about how professional and coordinated Patrick was during our wedding. He also did a wonderful job of allowing us to enjoy all the little moments during the busiest day of our lives.

We're glad the beauty of your wedding showed through in the photos. Thank you for the kind words, and all the best!!
Patrick was absolutely amazing! From the very first email asking for availability and contract details all the way through until the very end. He worked with me to set a good timeline, he knew what he was doing. Although I only had him for 6 ho...
urs to get all the main parts of the day of events, he worked extremely hard to get it all photographed. Overall, I can’t put into words how pleased I am with how amazing he has been. He was very easy to talk to and even when my grandmother who has Alzheimer’s wasn’t able to be apart of the family photos, Patrick went out of his way to still get amazing photos of her in other parts of the wedding which meant the world to me. Genuinely he is the best and I can’t imagine anyone better to be such a big part of my wedding day! Thank you Patrick!
Response from the Vendor on 06/10/2022
We are so pleased to have met both of you and feel honored to capture your wedding! We're glad you enjoyed the photos and all the memories of your special day!
Patrick and his wife Desiree displayed truly spectacular service and craft in photographing our wedding at Ghost Ranch this May. It was an absolute joy to watch them work, they were so professional, organized, and on point that we started late ...
(as all weddings do) and ended on time. Not only that, Patrick was awesome at handling last minute family requests, wind, and lighting conditions. The shots we’ve seen so far are jaw dropping and we can’t wait to see the whole set! We only regret we can’t hire them again for another wedding!

We’re so happy with the photos, we will cherish them forever!

Patrick and his team are fantastic. Upon meeting in 2019 to discuss wedding details, we knew he was the photographer for us. His gallery was amazing. From our engagement session to our big day, he was so pleasant, patient, and...

You guys are such a sweet couple! It was truly my pleasure. I am glad you enjoy the photos, I am so honored I was able to capture them for you guys. All the best!
We hired Patrick for our 2020 wedding, which was postponed to 2021. He took our engagement photos, bridal photo shoot, and our wedding photos. Picking Patrick as our photographer was the best decision. He was very supportive throughout the enti...

Response from the Vendor on 08/04/2021
Thanks for having me out, you and Chris are the nicest people ever! I'm so glad I was there to capture your wedding!
We reached out to Patrick about a month or two before our expected elopement date. My husband and I were in a time constraint and I inquired about an engagement shoot on one evening followed by a courthouse elopement shoot the next night, this ...
was no problem for him to accommodate. He really took his time on our first phone call to get to know each of us and figure out exactly what we wanted and what we didn’t even know we wanted! He was so meticulous about timing the evening just right, I appreciated his attention to details. As our shoots approached he continuously reached out and touched base with us, even while he was out of the country! There was a light rainstorm during our engagement session, but he found a way to work with the elements, which made our photos so much more dramatic… in a great way! The previews alone were stunning, and he really made sure that my husband and I focused on each other through the entire shoots and was never pushy with cringy poses that were definitely not us. He even accommodated a brewery elopement shoot! We enjoyed chatting with Patrick at the end of our session over complimentary beers from the brewery. He is down to earth, approachable and very comfortable to be around. His presence alone makes the most anxious and shy person feel at ease during their session. I am very self conscious about my appearance, and Patrick managed to capture some pretty neat images of me, so relieving. I was more excited to send our photos to family and friends. We are even looking forward to booking Patrick for a Colorado getaway session next year. Patrick is very reasonable with his pricing structures and an excellent photographer, anyone seeking a photographer should speak with him for a consultation, I cannot recommend him enough! Thank you Patrick for making Richie and I’s engagement/elopement sessions so amazing and beyond anything we had initially expected!
Response from the Vendor on 07/31/2021

I came across Patrick's website after seeing multiple verified reviews stating he is the best photographer in the area. Upon first look at his gorgeous portfolio, I knew he was the photographer for us. We chose to have our engagement photoshoot...
by Abiquiu Lake and Patrick scouted the area prior to our arrival. He was friendly and made us feel completely at ease. I have not had this much fun getting pictures taken, ever! He had everything planned out to the nth degree and we had a blast. The photos are gorgeous and everything I dreamed of. I couldn't recommend him enough. If you want photos to serve as a beautiful forever memory Patrick is the way to go!

Patrick was the most amazing photographer to work with. Not only was he very attentive to all of my emails, but he was always available to answer any questions that I had. 2020 for wedding planning proved to be challenging, but having Patrick a...
s my photographer was one less thing I had to worry about. He planned out the family photo session step by step and had so many helpful hints on scheduling for the whole day, send off and ideas for sunset photos. I never had to worry about if he was going to capture the right pictures at the right times. I had Patrick do my engagement session as well as my wedding and it was the best decision I ever made! We were originally going to get married in Ruidoso, NM , however, due to closings and restrictions, we had to change plans last minute to our hometown. He was very adaptive to these change of plans and even volunteered to drive to our hometown for the wedding at a very generous cost. I would hire Patrick do photograph my wedding a thousand times over and will definitely be booking him for future events! Not only was Patrick a pleasure to work with in all aspects, but his pictures are absolutely breathtaking. I will forever cherish the memories that he captured in my photos!
Patrick did an amazing job in capturing our special day. We highly recommend him for any wedding. The photos came out amazing.

Aww thanks, it was my pleasure! I am still in awe of how beautiful your ceremony was, from your dress and hair to the amazing surroundings at Leaping Deer! I am glad your family loved the photobooth too, thanks for having me out!! Congrats!!
We were initially drawn to Patrick after viewing his work--his photos all were beautifully shot and edited and fit the style we were looking for. Unfortunately, our wedding was planned for July 2020, which threw a wrench in our plans and made t...
hings difficult to really plan out and solidify for a while leading up to the day. Patrick was more than willing to work with us and be flexible as our plans continued to change with the different restrictions due to COVID. We are fortunate that he was willing to delay until next July when we will be able to have the celebration! He was also willing to work with our family members in order to provide photography services as a surprise for us as we held a very small, intimate ceremony in place of the big wedding! I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for great quality and the best customer service!
Response from the Vendor on 07/30/2020
Thank you for the kind words, I am honored I got to be present for your wedding! I love your family, what a kind group of people and I am so lucky to have met them all!
Patrick was very easy to work with. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic we had to change some of our plans and Patrick was very accommodating and flexible. When he was shooting he did a great job of capturing both candid and posed photos. We received ...

Kristin- thank you, the pleasure was all mine! You and Sean are a wonderful couple and I am honored to help tell your story. I am glad you guys are enjoying the new place out in Milwaukee, please stay in touch!
I cannot recommend Patrick enough! My husband and I knew we were bound to run into scheduling issues when we decided to hold our wedding during the COVID19 pandemic (talk about stress). We ended up having to reschedule our dates and venues a fe...
w times, but through it all Patrick was extremely accommodating. He was understanding, professional, and was actually able to help give us some much needed peace in the whole planning process (which, if you are neck-deep in wedding planning, you know how much that comfort means). Patrick was honest, transparent and quick to communicate in every step of the process. If you want pictures done for your wedding, hire a photographer - but if you want pictures done right and the custom service to back it up, hire Patrick.
Response from the Vendor on 07/03/2020

When my husband and I began searching for photographers for our wedding, we were a bit overwhelmed by our choices but were recommended by a friend to Patrick. After looking at the incredible quality and variety of his photography, we were inst...
antly sold. Not only was he professional and friendly through the entire process (in the midst of all of our wedding planning chaos, he was able to make the photography process for both my husband and I feel stress-free), his experience and creative perspectives captured the unique moments of our wedding that helped to make our special day even more memorable. Patrick is helpful, experienced, and knows just how to make each of his pictures tell the perfect story of a wedding.

Do yourself a favor and book both of them together! Their synergy and teamwork is amazing. You will barely notice they are there and they will work with you to capture all the moments you want and all the moments you didn't know you wanted but will be so happy to have.
The images from the Wedding that I have received are beautiful and I cannot wait to see all of them. Patrick provided me with previews about a week after and I was so happy to see previews of our big day.
Another thing I want to add is that Patrick was easily the best vendor of mine to work with. He was clear in communication, prompt to respond, and provided me with a helpful reminder to get him my shot list.
Patrick was one of the best choices that I made for my big day. Book him now! Do it!
Response from the Vendor on 03/30/2020
Congrats again you guys and thank you for the kind words! Desiree and I loved connecting over Star Wars at your wedding and we are so pleased you like the images and that we got to spend time with you on your special day!
Look no further for the perfect photographer for your special day. We hired Patrick and Rachel as our photographers for our January wedding. They are both incredibly talented and helped our day run smoothly. The few images I have seen so far ar...

Patrick and Rachel went above and beyond to ensure they were getting great shots for us, even hiking through some mountains behind the ranch where our wedding was held to get some amazing shots! Patrick and Rachel both did a phenomenal job of putting my husband and I at ease and made sure we were having fun throughout the process. Hiring Patrick and adding on Rachel as a second photographer was one of the best decision we made. We highly recommend them both. You will be in great hands.

Thank you for having us! From the beautiful ceremony to the awesome party after, my wife and I had a blast capturing it. All the best!
Patrick was absolute amazing to work with and so professional! He is also extremely friendly and casual, and made photo taking so much easier than usual.
On the day:
He knew exactly what to do on the day with minimal instructions from us, and...
everything went very smoothly. His instructions and questions were very clear and straight forward, it didn't stress me out at all on the day (among many distractions and interactions with friends and family that were honestly overwhelming!)
He was also very flexible and allowed us to make minor changes to the group photo session.
Photos:
I was so surprised with his service and experience, and even more surprised when Patrick sent over the preview photos a couple of business days after the wedding. His editing is stunning and the colors are so vibrant. You can tell that Patrick really puts his heart into the editing as well.
I could not find one thing about Patrick I would rather have had him be or do during our wedding, and I would 100% recommend Patrick as he is very well rounded in personality, skills, and experience.

Thanks Yushi! I am so glad to have met you both, thanks for letting me be a part of your wedding!!
atrick was amazing! From the first interaction to engagement photos to the wedding to receiving the pictures after the fact he has been very responsive, professional, and he listened to what we wanted. He was constantly asking what would you li...
ke to do as well as throwing some ideas of his own which turned out amazing! His pictures are so unique. The things he does with sunsets and lighting are like magic! He also had his wife with him that was shooting our video that was amazing as well! He told us that they were standing on chairs and trying to get every angle for the best shots and he was so discreet we didn’t even notice. He was patient with our rowdy friends but kept us on track. I would highly recommend Patrick for your photography needs!

Thank you so much Kaylin! We love working hard for amazing people like you and Travis. What a fun wedding you guys had, I don't think I've ever seen so much line dancing in one wedding before and it was amazing! Thank you for the kind words, al...

Patrick Beare has an excellent eye for photography! He goes above and beyond for his clients by paying attention to detail and taking his time to get that perfect capture(s). Out of all of the photographers I have met with, Patrick is by far th...
e best. He keeps the upmost professional behavior and his prices are very reasonable-considering how excellent his work is. Not only does he make it a comfortable environment, its actually enjoyable! I’m immensely satisfied with all of his photos-10/10 would recommend.

Thanks Janessa!! I loved working with you, it was truly my pleasure! I truly enjoy your family as well, what a warm and welcoming group of people. Wishing you all the best!
We hired Patrick and his wife to photograph and take video of our wedding. Their service and professionalism was of the highest quality! They made the event so special and welcoming to us and our guests! The photos taken are of the utmost quali...

Thank you, your kind words mean so much to me! I can't thank you enough for letting me capture your wedding and I am so lucky to have known you and Joy! Cheers!
Patrick and his wife Desiree were the most amazing team we could have ever asked for. Before the wedding Patrick was very responsive when we had questions or if we wanted to change a part of the plan. He had great ideas for where to take beauti...
ful candid pictures. My husband and I are incredibly busy working 60-100 hours a week running a construction company and being a full time resident physician, and he was always very patient and kind while we were running around trying to plan everything. On the day of our wedding, we were lucky and were able to work with both Patrick and his wife who was video recording, and they were phenomenal. They seemed to be everywhere at once, and they significantly helped us when our DJ was terrible at staying on schedule. With their help we worked seamlessly throughout our day and evening. They were an absolute joy to work with. Our pictures were gorgeous, and I had so many photos I still can’t decide which ones I love more! They did so much more than photograph and video our wedding, they helped us through one of the most important days of our lives, and we could not have done it without them. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a high-quality product, service, and friendship!
Response from the Vendor on 08/15/2019
Thank you Michelle! We consider you guys friends also, but also such a beautiful couple! You are both so kind-hearted, that was one of the first things we noticed about you. Thank you for the kind words!
My husband and I loved working with Patrick! Neither of us are usually very comfortable or confident in front of the camera, but he made us feel totally at ease and wow, we did we get some amazing photos! He was very courteous, kind, and profes...
sional throughout the entire process. Incredible quality, very impressed, would highly recommend him to anyone looking to commemorate their special day! As a bonus, we got to work with his wife Desiree, our videographer. She was awesome too! Great husband & wife duo.
Response from the Vendor on 08/14/2019
It was our pleasure! Truly! Thanks for having us out, we loved being a part of your big day and we wish you the best!
Patrick really helps make this part of the day easy. He goes thru a normal picture list with you, which helps narrow down what you want and need from the day, then you can just fly thru them day of. We had a crazy weather day, and generally di...
dn't want a strict schedule, and Patrick was super flexible and accommodating with us all day. Also, if you want amazing location shots without worrying where they are, he covered that for us! Couldn't recommend him more! (My husband agrees)
Response from the Vendor on 08/14/2019
Annie- you guys were great! I am so happy to have met you both and your wedding was a blast! All the best!
Patrick and Desiree Beare were absolutely wonderful to work with. My wife and I live in Central Texas and were nervous about being able to coordinate and plan our wedding in Santa Fe. I called Patrick maybe 5 or 6 months prior to the wedding an...
d he was right there with us all the way! He is incredibly organized and timely, there was no fretting about cost, payments, what could or could not be done during the wedding because of time constraints, etc, because Patrick is very transparent and honest about his business. Any and every question my wife and I had concerning what pictures, when to take them, how to organize big family photos, he was able to answer well in advance.
The day of the wedding was great and the experience we had working with them was just awesome! Patrick and Desiree are incredibly warm and friendly and they do all they can to be sure your big day and pictures come out to be everything you hope they will be! If you are concerned at all about affordability, quality, experience, or really anything else in regards to photo and video for your wedding, you will be very quickly assured by the presence and interaction with these two amazing people!!
Thank you so much for everything you did for us Patrick and Desiree! The photos and videos came out absolutely stunning and it was such a pleasure getting to know you both!!
Best of wishes,
Rommel & Sarah

Thanks Joy, it was my pleasure. That was a fun day!!
The photos were amazing! Patrick got so many pictures from the ceremony, but he was also very discreet as well! You cannot beat the quality you get for the price! Patrick made sure he got our 'must-have' shots, and was always in the right place...
at the right time throughout the whole wedding day! We got our photos back quickly and we love them, we will always recommend Patrick to friends and family!

We are thrilled to review Patrick and speak about the wonderful job he did capturing our wedding! We were scrolling through photographers and we saw his page and we instantly fell in love with his photos and knew we had to have him be our weddi...
ng photographer. We contacted him and he responded right away and answered all our questions and offered to meet with us. The meeting was easy and fun, and even though we already knew we wanted to book him, we were shocked at how reasonable his prices were. We booked his Silver package, but he was flexible and allowed us to customize our package by adding on an hour rather than upgrading to the next package up.
He was very helpful in helping us organize our wedding day. He was in contact and very helpful, but also gave us some example wedding day timelines that explained how long certain events could take which we used to plan our wedding. When our wedding finally came, I was so nervous for everything but Patrick was reassuring and helped me feel at ease. He also was a huge help in making sure we stayed on schedule and got the beautiful shots we wanted throughout the day (he even got my grandfather to smile in the photos - something he rarely does!).
After the wedding he sent 'sneak peak' images before sending the final wedding album over which was fun for us to see how the photos looked right away. We ended up with over 1,000 photos and are thrilled with every one of them!
I cannot recommend him highly enough, especially for the price point. You absolutely cannot go wrong with having him photograph your wedding! Thanks Patrick!

Lyndsey, thank you for the kind words, the pleasure was truly mine! I just loved getting to meet you and your husband, and your family was so inviting and fun to photograph. I wish you both all the best. Please stay in touch!!
Patrick did an AMAZING job and his photos were so beautiful!! He helped us every step of the way, from planning the schedule for the day to making sure things stayed on time. I'd HIGHLY recommend him to anyone!

Thank you for letting me be a part of your wedding day! I am honored to work with great couples like you.
Patrick captured our wedding recently. He is very kind, professional, easy to work with, and he works hard to give you exactly what you want. He is honest about things he doesn’t think will work with timing and he maintains good communication f...
rom the time you book him through after the event. He wants tu to be happy and delivers.
Patrick currently has a two week turn around which feels like forever to newly weds wanting to see their pictures, but in reality it is a very reasonable time frame for the number of photos he captures for you and it’s well worth the wait for us. We have received some previews of our photos so far and are ecstatic with they quality and beauty of them already. We are very excited to receive our full photo file soon.
Patrick’s work is amazing and his personality is wonderful be around and work with. We will definitely be recommending him to friends and family in the future.
Thank you Patrick!
