Hey! Thanks for stopping by!  *hi-fives all around* 

My name is Patrick.  My wife and I have been married for six years.  We
love car camping all over the Cascades and the Olympics, as well as more
serious international adventures. Ask me about the trip where we hiked through
the Slovenian, Austrian, German, back into the Austrian, and then the Italian
Alps.  Or, the time I played bumper cars on a hairpin corner with a man in
the Albanian mafia and got chased across the border into Macedonia!  Anne still hasn't
forgiven me for that one.

That said, you should probably know that I like to have fun, I work hard and
I'm willing to take risks.  I believe that being a wedding photographer is
not for the faint of heart.  During my days as a freelance travel photographer/writer,
I learned that the best images don't just happen because you've bought a plane
ticket.  In over 30 countries, I found that the most compelling images
come from getting inside the life of a person or falling in love with a place.  My most cherished picture
of you is likely to come after we've had a beer, and your cousin has shared a
funny story about when you were little.

Thank you for looking, and don't be afraid to leave a comment.

Have you ever heard that you can see your future in a glass of water?

Tatoosh Mountains/Mt. Rainier Hiking

There is a popular reflection pond in the Tatoosh mountains that photographers have been visiting for years.  Personally, I’ve hiked to it many times, but have only been able to shoot pictures twice.  Once, it was still covered in snow (in late July), another time, the clouds were so thick I couldn’t see anything but gray.  This year, was a good year.  BTW, one of my pictures from the Olymplic National Park is published in this months issue of Backpacker Magazine.

Brian, an awesome photographer for Photo Elan also came.  He blogged about it here.

Erin + Adam Engaged!

These images were taken by Patrick Love, about 3 miles from the Google campus in Kirkland, WA.  One day later, Google released the Parisian Love Commercial during the Super Bowl.  Coincidence?  I think not.

Last name, Ever.  First name, Greatest!

Katey + Steve Married!

Beautiful, awesome and cold!  Katey and Steve had such a fun winter wedding.

My last 2009 wedding!

Love Shack vs. uBRDO!

I dropped a Love Shack on the uBRDO Cycle and Mountain Supply / Bike Hugger Party!  For anyone that doesn’t know, that Love Shack is a Patrick Love Photography vs. Photo Booth mashup.  Drop one on your wedding reception or corporate party and watch it EXPLODE!

Una Clothing

Una Clothing is a boutique clothing company that designs and makes clothes right here in Seattle.  To shoot two new dress designs, I wanted to find a location that that would match the handcrafted, artisan, and high-quality nature of Una Clothing.  Crosscut hardwoods in SoDo generously allowed us to use their space.  They specialize in all kinds of exotic rough-cut hardwoods that woodworkers, who know how to design and build things by hand, have been using for years.  We were extremely fortunate that Rosaline Crow was available to model, and Heather from Zendipity Hair was also available to do hair.

Katey + Steve Engaged!

Katey and Steve chose a cold November day to do their engagement pictures.  Their pictures are so hot that when these images were taken, the temperature downtown rose about 5 degrees!  Booooom!  I can’t wait to see them get married this December.

Sip for SIFF – Pravda Studio Seattle, WA

The Seattle International Film Festival threw the most amazing fund raiser at Pravda Studios.  It had a Caribbean/Pirate theme.  The organizers loved the photos that I took at the Francis Ford Coppola event last year, so they asked me to come back.
