Artistic nuance with a relaxed approach.

Opposites attract.

The best of both worlds.

Yin and Yang.

When Pat — a service-obsessed entrepreneur — met Claire — a non-representational painter — over a deceptively simple coffee a decade ago, neither had any idea what lay in store for their lives together. Ever since that fateful day, they have been nearly inseparable in both work and life.

Every couple that collaborates with Pat and Claire benefits from their two unique artistic perspectives. Claire, a classically-trained artist, provides individualized creative direction, bringing a curated style, nuance, and emotion to every angle and detail of an event. Pat focuses on the human element, with a talent for instantly disarming his subjects, intuitively understanding how to make people comfortable, and sincerely conveying individual personalities through his laid back approach. Together, their talents will ensure that clients will feel as beautiful in front of the camera as they look through the lens.

They photograph most often in New York City, Brooklyn, Cape Cod, New England, Philadelphia, New Jersey, and the surrounding areas. They are seasoned travelers as well - and have documented many assignments both nationally and internationally.

Documenting love in a stylish, editorially charged manner, while carefully highlighting the honest connection between two people is what inspires Pat and Claire to create. Their shared goal is to elevate and create images that transcend the wedding genre while still being honest observers of genuine moments on such a momentous day.

“Pat and Claire bring a sense of partnership to wedding days that is unmatched in the industry. The result leaves us with a gallery that always quite literally blows our minds. Our couples love their laid back and entertaining personalities. There’s a reason why Pat and Claire have been our most recommended photographer partner over the last 10 years and they just keep getting better and better.”
