Patrick McNamara Photography

ibly detail-oriented and prepared. On the day of, he was a calming presence and a joy to have with us throughout the day at each of the locations he photographed (getting ready in a small apartment, first look at a park, wedding at a church, cocktail hour in a garden and dinner/reception in a large auditorium). He can do it all! We absolutely love our photos and would highly recommend Patrick.

Patrick is extremely talented, made us feel completely comfortable, gave great guidance and made the day stress-free.

k with. Patrick is highly organized and was very helpful in mapping out the timeline for our wedding day, which then made the rest of our planning very easy. He is incredibly kind, personable, and professional – we really enjoyed having him at our wedding. Patrick was familiar with our venue and knew exactly when and where to get the best photographs. And last but not least, Patrick’s photographs are absolutely STUNNING. He really captured us, our guests, and our whole wedding day perfectly and we could not have dreamed of anything more. We highly recommend Patrick, he was simply magnificent to work with!

enic, although with our families. The formals were great, I definitely recommend a first look at that saved SO much time. But there were candids in there that I loved seeing after he fact. Patrick made sure to get photos al the right moments and really just knew how to do his thing! Our wedding was on a Sunday, and Patrick emailed a link with photos FOUR DAYS LATER! The flash drive arrived in the mail in under 2 weeks. It was so great to have them so quickly!! I can’t wait to work with him on creating an album and hopefully some family shoots in the future!

ographers because I knew I couldn’t work on her wedding day. I knew one thing and that was that he/she had to be better than me. I knew I found my person and as soon as we booked the venue I called him. Our first conversation was over an hour and I felt like I had met the male version of me. My daughter told me on her wedding night that she felt like we were twins. When we had our initial conversation he asked me to leave my camera home and I’m so thankful I did. Patrick by far exceeded our expectations. He truly captured our daughter and our new sons day beautifully. I’m so thankful I chose Patrick to capture this day and because I stayed out of his way and allowed him to work his magic the majority of the pictures were a complete surprise to me! I would give Patrick McNamara Photography a million stars if I could!!

to work with. He has the highest professionalism (I am confident that there is no one more responsive than he is) and because of his vast experience and expertise he was able to provide incredibly helpful insight and knowledge throughout the wedding planning process. On our wedding day, he seamlessly toed-the-line of keeping everyone on track and focused while making sure we were all laughing and having fun. Our family and friends overwhelmingly sung his praises as well. We could not more highly recommend Patrick for a wedding photographer!

to Maine very often and he eased any concerns I had. He was so thorough, so organized and so professional. The day of the wedding everyone was absolutely blown away by his attention to detail, most of our bridal party was already married and all of them reluctantly admitted they thought they had the best photographer… until working with Patrick. Now onto the photos, spectacular! My mom said she felt like she was watching a movie going through the photos because there were so many of them. My husband and I could not have imagined more beautiful photos!! Truly the best in the business!

hotos of our wedding day and he made the whole process seem so easy and seamless. He also made a point to take a picture of every guest at our wedding which was impressive. Our wedding was on a Sunday and by Tuesday he had already sent us our gallery of photos to view. It was like reliving the day all over again and I can honestly say there wasn't a bad picture in there. He was fabulous,but he's also just a really nice guy and easy to work with and I would highly recommend him to every couple.

nd out that he was a photographer, I took a look at his pictures. At the time, I was not even dating my husband, but I knew that Patrick would one day photograph my wedding! He was amazing to work with on a professional level from the moment we signed our contract. We met with him in October of 2018 for our engagement photos. He made my husband and I feel comfortable from the second we got to our shooting location. He talked us through how he wanted us to stand and why it was important to practice! We wanted to take pictures at two locations and on the way to the second spot, Patrick stopped at a third location and these were some of our favorite photographs. He has a wonderful eye and we ended up with beautiful engagement photographs. Patrick takes the time to talk to you before your wedding day and made it very clear to us that he was available more often if we needed to talk more. I spoke with him about a week before our big day. He calmed my fears about our day of timeline and talked me through how everything would go! When he arrived at my house the day of the wedding, he was ready to go and found photographs all over our home. This included a photo of my father who is no longer alive. It is something I never would have thought of but love having. He talked us through each photograph and got some of the best in the moment pictures. Our ring bearer was bribed with gummy candy for walking down the aisle. When he wouldn’t look up for a picture, Patrick put a gummy on the camera and got a big smile for us. Our bridal party raved about his professionalism, his calmness, and his ability to keep us all on task. We are so grateful to have had Patrick as our photographer. We received our photos in a timely manner and will forever treasure each photo. We would be happy to reach out to Patrick in the future for anniversary or family photos as well! We can’t recommend Patrick enough!

he is about what he does, and it shows in the quality of his work. We had a small wedding (20 people) and didn't really have the budget or need to have a photographer all day, and Patrick was able to offer a 2.5 hour package for us that was perfect! If you want amazing wedding photos, look no further than Patrick McNamara Photography- you won't regret it!

otos. Patrick came highly recommended and we were impressed with his portfolio. His passion for photography and desire to make his clients happy was clear from the start. We started working with Patrick about a year before our wedding when he did our engagement photos. Working with him was a dream - so easy and effortless - and he is such a kind person. We live in Boston and he in Maine, but he went out of his way to be available and speak to us about our vision whenever we had a question. He was always professional, polite, and timely. The day of Patrick was so energetic, made us both feel at ease, and made the experience so enjoyable for us. We could not be happier with the final photographs - to say we were blown away would be an understatement. Every photo was a work of art. Patrick has a knack for capturing the sweetest and most candid moments while also ensuring we had all of the portrait and family photos as well. We will cherish our photographs forever and will never be able to thank Patrick enough! We highly recommend!

b at capturing the candid moments without even knowing he was there. We highly recommend Patrick!!!

al photos are beautiful as were the candids.

our big day runs smoothly. On my wedding day, Patrick got all of the shots that I wanted (getting ready, formals, etc). And the entire time he had me and my family laughing! I highly recommend that you book Patrick McNamara for your wedding!

and any other special shots that we wanted so that we would be sure to capture everything we wanted. And on top of that, we already have our photos! Our wedding was on July 14th and we had our online gallery a little less than a week after! It was so nice to be able to look through all the photos and the special moments so soon after. Patrick was extremely professional on the day and everything was perfect!

was perfect, and he knew how to communicate with us. He greeted me at the Marginal Way before I walked down the aisle with an enormous hug and hope that it would be an amazing experience. He captured out love so perfectly with every image, and helped us find our best poses. We love Patrick! Our family and friends are absolutely in love with the photos too. Could not have asked for a better photographer for our special day! Thank goodness he is located in Maine too!!

moothly. He was very responsive through long distance communication as well (email and phone). On the day of the wedding, he was so friendly and professional we immediately knew we made the right choice. He made both of us feel very comfortable and really enjoy the day. We got our photographs and we were blown away. They are so beautiful and will be cherished forever. Thanks Patrick for your help in making our wedding the best day ever!

raphs are beautiful and after reading the "about" section on his website, I thought his personality would work well with our personalities. Patrick was very responsive when setting up an appointment. He answered all of our questions and was a great resource for vendors (our wedding was in Maine but we lived out of state). Thanks to Patrick, not only do we have beautiful photographs of our wedding day; we had a beautiful wedding. He is professional, friendly, responsive, and talented. If you are looking for the best then Patrick McNamara is the one for you.

e and communicate with. He helped us determine what kind of pictures we wanted and suggested some we wouldn't have thought of. My suggestion, let this man do what he does best! Patrick is extremely professional, funny and gifted. He helped make our wedding stress free and captured our day beautifully.

gle shot that he takes. He captured all of the exciting moments during our wedding day, ones that we were not even aware of! The best thing about Patrick is that he is organized and takes charge. Our wedding day flowed so smoothly because of his attention to time and detail. He works quickly, but still manages to help you savor every moment of your day. His shoots are breathtaking, and I cant event count all of the compliments we have received from his work! Not only did he capture our wedding, but also did a beach family shoot for us, and our engagement shoot. He is simply a pleasure to be around. I would never go to anyone else! I cant wait to go back to him for our future needs! We love you Patrick!

rtist, with the best eye for the most perfect shots! He was great with our wedding party, and was passionate about ensuring that we got the best pictures possible- even running up three flights of stairs to get amazing sunset shots. During the reception he got awesome couple pictures of our guests as well, we were so excited to see those! We received all of the pictures so quickly after the wedding, and they are unbelievable. We can't thank Patrick enough and we highly recommend him to all couples! Thank you so much Patrick!

ail, phone call or FaceTime. It was so easy to plan with him! Patrick was able to get so many unique and beautiful shots of our friends and family. Our entire bridal party told us that they felt so comfortable when Patrick was taking our picture and it felt fun, instead of something that we "had to do." One week after our wedding, Patrick sent us all of our wedding photos....talk about turn around time! All of our family and friends have loved looking at the photos. I cannot imagine having anyone else capture our wedding day. We will have these photos for the rest of our lives, all thanks to Patrick.

me out. He managed to capture all of the important parts of our wedding day as well as the little details that made it special and now we have pictures to remember it for years to come. He listened to what we wanted and made it happen. He is also excellent at getting people where they need to be quickly so that the photo process runs smoothly. Thank you so much Patrick!!

en and how. Patrick walked us through our wedding formals and was willing to complete the rest of our "list" later in the day, so that we could enjoy as much of our reception as possible. We cannot wait to see how our wedding photos come out. Thank you Patrick!

f you have to opportunity to have him photograph your special day you should absolutely use him!!!

rtable with him and feel like you've known him forever. He also helped organize the wedding and keep everything on track. On top of that, his pictures are absolutely beautiful!! He got them back to us within a week of the wedding and they are stunning. We couldn't be happier with his service and would absolutely recommend him!

you can't help but smile. My husband was very nervous to take photos and Patrick put him right at ease. It was wonderful experience, and got every shot we could have possibly asked for. We got married at the Union Bluff and did photos on the lawn, on the rocks and on the beach all within an hour and never felt rushed. The photos inside were great, excellent candids of everyone. Thank you so much Patrick it was truly a pleasure working with you. Would use him again for any type of shoot we could want.

oing engagement photos, but my husband did not. Within the first few minutes of our engagement session my husband was so excited to work with Patrick and relaxed, as well as myself. Not only did he capture amazing photos; recommend fantastic locations, but he was so genuine and excited about his work, which was contagious. Our wedding day couldn't have been better thanks to Patrick. He captured those spontaneous moments that we wanted and worked in sync with all of our vendors. Our wedding guests have passed along an out pour of praise for Patrick and Connor with respects to the photos and their interaction throughout the night with guests and vendors. My husband and I can't say enough praise. We can't wait to continue working with Patrick in the future!

ecisions. He's a bit pricey, but you get what you pay for and he has options to allow the bride and groom to choose what works best for them and coverage of their day. I was even able to make changes the day of by adding an hour and he allowed me to pay for the extra hour at a later time. He gave rights to the photos which is awesome and sends high resolution copies to us and they were beautiful. He was the right amount of bossy and invisible and was perfect at capturing moments without being intrusive. He was wonderful and I would highly recommend him.

e felt comfortable and confident spending our special day with. Not only is Patrick experienced, professional and extremely talented, but he goes above and beyond to guide you in selecting other vendors and answer questions of all angles. There are few people in the industry who take such attention to detail outside of their hired task, but Patrick truly opens his services and experience in the industry to you. We'd recommend him to anyone as a great value and outstanding person to work with. He'll keep you relaxed, on schedule (well, as best you can at a wedding!) and happy for years to come when you look back at the moments he's captured.

ot on websites and online reviews on weddingwire and the knot. As soon as I saw Patrick's website (and read through everything and his blog, too!) I knew we had found our photographer! His pictures were stunning and his matter-of-fact / honest website really made me very comfortable in our choice. After speaking with him on the phone I was even more assured as he was just as wonderful to talk with. He spent a lot of time helping me understand the "day of" and how everything was going to work, and even offered to give me any suggestions for other vendors we might need (or feedback if I had one in mind.) (He gave me the recommendation of Craig and iWed Films and I couldn't be happier with our video & lighting Craig provided.) Patrick was so amazing to work with leading up to the wedding, and on the day of was just what we needed - a wonderful, calming presence who knew exactly what to do and say to make us all feel special. My bridal party, family and even my very nervous groom all said what a really nice, kind and fantastic person he was! It's such an overwhelming thing to be the center of all of the "paparazzi" and could have been very stressful, but Patrick and his team made it very much a fun and special time for us all! Everyone has been RAVING about how stunning the pictures are that he took - the lighting, camera angles, all fantastic! We really can't recommend Patrick enough, nor thank him enough for capturing such amazing and treasured moments for us!!

ending amazing vendors for our DJ, flowers, cake/cupcakes. We were so happy with all of them. Patrick talked us through our wedding day and what would happen when which was incredibly helpful especially earlier on when we were a little lost putting all the pieces together. At our engagement shoot, he talked us through posture/ body positioning which was really helpful on our wedding day. He also captured the most amazing back drops with these pictures. For our wedding, he went through our must have photo list and we were able to get our photos done quickly and efficiently. He was picky about how everyone in the pictures looked which made them all come out amazingly and cut down on wasted pictures. Did I mention it's 6 days after our wedding and we have all our pictures and are in love with them all. I Would definitely recommend Patrick to anyone- his photos speak for themselves but his personality will also put you at ease and make your wedding day stress free.

some incredible shots of everything we wanted and so much more.

few phone discussions but most was done online where he sent a complete work up of what works best and takes the thinking out of it on the wedding day. I feel so privileged to have had him at our wedding. Patrick's photography tells the story of our wedding day. Patrick took shots that any bride would want- useable candids, portraits, action shots, intimate moments and in all they whole heatedly captured every memory from that day. I will never be able to forget those special moments because Patrick made our day, his day as well and his care, professionalism and attention to every detail allowed all of my guests to sit back and relax while he did the work. There have been endless comments about how incredible the shots with The Colony behind my husband and I were. Patrick's eagle eye behind the lens captured the true essence of beautiful surroundings of the ocean, The Colony and our happiness. Patrick worked seamlessly with all of the other vendors and appeased all of my guests. Everyone who attended and even those who didn't attend the wedding have been so excited because Patrick posted the pictures to an online site in less than 2 weeks after our wedding where all of my guests have been able to view and purchase shots. I heard that within two days of the pictures being posted, people have already bought some shots. I hope I have an opportunity to use Patrick's services again.

lexible on locations to shoot, everything was just made so much easier b/c Patrick is a true professional and is amazing at what he does. Our photos are gorgeous!

raphs on your wedding day with your family and friends seamless and enjoyable. We can’t thank him enough for our amazing photographs – we will definitely be looking at our pictures with fond memories for a long time to come. We are looking forward to working with Patrick again in the future!

ortable. Long after the wedding, we were still getting compliments from our family and friends on how much they thought he did a great job of capturing our big day. In addition to how great we felt working with him on the day of the wedding, the pictures he produced were amazing! We were thrilled with how many variations and angles Patrick was able to capture. Narrowing down the photos to our favorites was incredibly difficult. From there, actually selecting ones to print and/or add to an album was even more of a challenge! My husband and I had the best experience with Patrick and couldn't have been happier with the results. We look forward to other life events (down the road) when we can work with Patrick again!
