BEHIND THE LENS
Meet our lead photographer, Patrick
Patrick leads the creative side of Total Weddings and loves using his gifts to make people feel seen and celebrated. He picked up a camera at fourteen and never looked back, crediting his growth to the mentors who have shaped him both technically and creatively. His relationship with Jesus is the most important part of his life.
Outside of work, you’ll find him planning trips with his wife Melissa, playing tennis and golf with friends, or flying small airplanes with his private pilot’s license.
