I couldn’t have asked for a better experience when it comes to working with Patrick. He was so welcoming from the first meet and answered all of my many questions I had. The day of went so well and the preview I have seen so far are AH-MAY-ZING!!! He captured all the love and fun of the day and I feel so pretty in my pictures. I cannot wait until I get all my pictures to see what he captured. But I know they are all going to be amazing!! Thank you so much Patrick, I appreciate you!! :)

My wife and I are very fortunate to have had Patrick as our wedding photographer. We came from Alabama to Albuquerque to elope in early December 2024, a decision that was made roughly a month before the trip. We had no knowledge of the City nor did we have contacts or friends in New Mexico, so everything we scheduled - from hotels and reservations to photographer and makeup - was done on faith and trust.
As soon as we decided that we were going to elope, my then fiancée charged me with finding a wedding photographer. I took to the Knot and subsequently did a dive on Google to identify a premier photographer with great shots, positive reviews, and trustworthy, quick communication. Patrick Beare’s name and shots kept coming up.
Shortly after I messaged him, he responded promptly and enthusiastically, and we spoke on the phone thereafter. He immediately struck me as friendly, professional, and genuinely interested in capturing our story with his camera.
Everything on the trip went smoothly, and we had a great experience at ABQ Wedding Chapel with Rev. Pearl on a Friday, which was a casual service and involved only us. Sunday is when we had Patrick meet us at the Hyatt Tamaya Resort to take professional pictures against the beautiful backdrop of the resort’s grounds during sunset and early evening.
To sum up: Patrick was great. He was just as friendly and pleasant in person as on the phone. He gave easy directions, was patient, and pitched fantastic ideas. The pictures turned out beautifully and were delivered within the timeframe he gave.
When it comes down to it, Patrick is just an overall good guy who has a talent for photographing couples and weddings, capturing the romance and specialness of the day/relationship. I highly recommend Patrick for your wedding photos and encourage you to look no further than Patrick!
[PS: We chose ABQ for the elopement because of my love for Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul.]

Dear Robert,
Thank you so much for your kind words and thoughtful review! It truly means ...
a lot to me that you and your wife trusted me to capture such an important moment in your lives, especially with your decision to elope in Albuquerque. I'm so glad to hear everything went smoothly and that the photos turned out beautifully!
It was a pleasure working with you both, and I’m thrilled that we could create such memorable images against the stunning backdrop of Hyatt Tamaya Resort. I really appreciate your recommendation and kind words about my work and approach.
Best wishes for a lifetime of happiness together, and thank you again for allowing me to be part of your special day!
P.S. I love that your love for Breaking Bad led you to Albuquerque—it’s always fun to work with fellow fans of the show!
Warm regards,
Patrick Beare

Patrick was very organized and professional throughout the whole planning process. He gave us clear timelines and checklists for what to expect. We took some posed photos before, and we asked him to capture candids during the reception. The photos were delivered a few weeks after the event, and he did a really phenomenal job capturing great moments. I highly recommend Patrick for wedding photography.

We got married outside by the Animas river on a gorgeous September day.
Patrick captured the most beautiful moments of our wedding and made the best use of the outdoors and its glory, which is exactly what we were looking for. His talent and eye for amazing photos is fantastic and we will recommend him to anyone that will listen. Thanks so much Patrick- you captured our day and our family in pictures we will look at in awe for years to come.

When it came time to choose a photographer for our wedding, we knew we needed someone who could capture the magic of our special day. Patrick Beare did not just meet our expectations; he exceeded them in every possible way.
Patrick's warm personality and professionalism put us at ease. He took the time to understand our vision, our style, and what moments were most important to us. His experience and creativity shone through as he suggested beautiful locations and unique poses that perfectly suited our personalities and the feel of our wedding.
On the day of the wedding, Patrick was a calming presence amidst all the excitement and chaos. He blended seamlessly into the background, capturing candid moments without ever being intrusive. His ability to make us feel comfortable in front of the camera was truly remarkable. We were able to relax and enjoy ourselves, knowing that he was there to document every laugh, tear, and joyful moment.
Beyond his technical skills, Patrick is genuinely a joy to work with! His positive energy and sense of humor made the entire experience not just easy, but genuinely fun. He has a unique talent for making people feel at ease and bringing out the best in them, which is reflected in his amazing photos.
We could not be happier with our decision to have Patrick Beare as our wedding photographer. He has an incredible eye for beauty and a true passion for his work, which shines through in every image. If you are looking for a photographer who will not only capture your special moments but also make the entire experience enjoyable and stress-free, look no further than Patrick Beare. He is simply the best!!

From the start, Patrick has been a great help. Gave me information as to what the process would be and gave me time to think about everything. Never pushed for an answer right away and guided me with suggestions of beautiful places for photos of just me and my husband. Walked me through the process and always answered my emails very promptly (he did call me first when I asked for availability and pricing, I just prefer email) and made our wedding a physical beautiful memory for us. When he arrived at our backyard wedding I was running around like a crazy person, and he just captured the things I didn't even have time to look at. I did have times where I couldn't make up my mind (by that i mean about getting photos with my grandparents who are very elderly, when and what to do with other family) and he offered solutions, which was wonderful. When our time was nearing the end, he asked if we had anything else planned (we honestly didn't really have things planned) but I did want certain things so being asked reminded me that we should actually do this and this now. So he also did help us stay on a schedule and get the things that I didn't think would happen, happen (before everyone left). I was nervous about doing the sunset photos because, well what If I can't model right? Lol. But he made it soooo easy, it really was just as if my husband and I were out on a date. And we got some stunning photos out of it! I really do recommend him, he captured very beautiful moments for us. We are so grateful.

Patrick is the best wedding photographer in town to work with, hands down. Not only were our images absolutely stunning, but he communicated with us professionally and promptly before, during, and after our big day. He was an incredible help for us in planning our order of events for our wedding, coordinated our first look wonderfully, and made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. He provided helpful suggestions for great-looking photos while integrating specific things we wanted and the results were breathtaking. Patrick made our day so magical and captured the memories of it in a way that was uniquely us. My husband and I can’t recommend him enough!

Patrick is a phenomenal wedding photographer!
One of the best things about working with him is that he genuinely puts effort into getting to know the couple. He cares about their story and the little details that contribute to specialness of the day. He uses this information to capture the nuances that make the day extra special. All interactions with him were extremely professional, yet warm and friendly, dating back to when we hired him a year before the wedding for engagement photos. He does amazing work with sunset photos for both engagement and wedding settings!!! We were beyond pleased with his service and final products! Highly recommend Patrick Beare Photography!

Patrick is very nice and made us feel comfortable taking pictures. He did such a great job at our wedding, capturing all the important moments and also getting photos that my family wanted. He was always very fast with communication throughout the whole process up to our wedding! He answered and helped me with all my questions and was very organized! He made great suggestions which helped the schedule flow better. I love our sneak peaks that we received so far, I can't wait for the rest! I would highly recommend hiring Patrick for any occasion, you won't regret it!

This man is amazing! He really pays attention to detail and targets to make your photos stunning. I wanted our engagement and wedding photos to have stunning backgrounds. He worked with us to find the perfect spots. We were lucky to have it pour on our wedding day which made for beautiful photography. He was available when I had questions and even helped pick up rose petals from the venue before we left. Thank you Patrick for capturing our day. Rachel & Eddie 8/20/22.

My husband and I are very very pleased with our photos from Patrick Beare Photography. The sneek peek photos came quickly and are the beautiful, high quality photos we were wanting. Patrick was very easy to work with. Can't wait to build the new gallery wall in our home! My only advice is to COMPLETE THE QUESTIONAIRE EARLY so you have time to think of all the photos you really want him to get. Allow him to make suggestions as he really knows what he's doing. We are very happy we chose Patrick Beare Photography!

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 hours 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!

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 day. ❤️ I wish it would let us post images here. The photos we got were as good as (if not better than) the images he has on the gallery on his website.

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!

Patrick is incredibly talented, and his communication style, personality, creativity, and integrity in his work are an inspiration. We hired him for both our engagement shoot and our wedding. Our wedding was a very long and packed day and Patrick, Ian, and Desiree did a fantastic job capturing our big day and all the moments we wanted to be photographed, as well as shot on video. I highly recommend adding video to your photo package! Patrick is incredibly personable, and he was able to interact with our guests and seize candid moments with different sets of people on the go, as well as work with our respective families to capture all the family and bridal party shots we wanted after the ceremony. We’re so happy with the photos, we will cherish them forever!

Patrick and his wife Desiree are the dream team of photographer and videographer! They way they are synced together well working is incredible and my wedding was absolute a hit because of them, you hardly even noticed they were there and worked the whole room to get all everybody when captured we were busy being “the bride and groom”. I will forever recommend them to all my family and friends for their wedding it special events. Thank you both for being a huge part of our special day and capturing/recording an unforgettable day so beautifully.

Simply stunning…
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 extremely accommodating due to Covid postponements. Patrick captured our day perfectly. We can’t wait to work with him in the future for more celebrations to come!

Our photos are GORGEOUS and really capture the joy and magic of the evening. 10/10, would highly recommend!

Patrick provided my husband and I the wedding photos of our dreams! On our wedding day, Patrick's calm demeanor and positive attitude made me feel calm and confident in the photography on our special day. Patrick was extremely punctual and timely during our wedding and also in his communication beforehand with us. Patrick went above and beyond to make sure our day went smoothly and we got all the photos we wanted. Patrick took amazing photos at amazing angles throughout our whole wedding day, and he took amazing sunset pictures for us on the rooftop of Hotel Parq Central.

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 entire process, including the postponement, and had very prompt and clear communication. While taking photos he made us feel very comfortable and at ease which turned into amazing photos that truly reflect us as a couple. I highly recommend selecting Patrick as your photographer!

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!

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!
