Patrick Sweeney Photography

Patrick and his team were an absolute pleasure to work with for our December wedding and we could not be more pleased we chose him as our photographer! Patrick's passion for photography was clearly evident from the moment we met him as he will do anything for the perfect shot! Patrick is also very flexible and will ensure your wedding vision becomes a reality. He kept the bridal party and families laughing throughout the wedding and made everyone feel very comfortable. He is a true professional and we highly recommend him, his team, and their work!!!

Patrick Sweeny is the BEST!!! Not only did he make us feel very, very special but he is an amazing photographer. Video services were fabulous as well.

We also decided to do a "love story" video where we got interviewed separately and surprised our guests with it at the reception and it was made with such care that people were crying and laughing. People keep mentioning how that was one of the most unique things they have ever seen.

I have to tell you that you can't get a better guy. He is so caring and FUNNY... he had the whole bridal party all loosened up and comfortable...

WE LOVE YOU PAT SWEENEY!!
Anthony and Karen Campione

Absolutely loved working with Pat! Great personality to make even the most camera shy girl comfortable!! Hysterical, fun, energetic...would refer to anybody!!! All around great service!! One happy bride (and groom)

We hired Patrick for our wedding on 9/7/2012 in Lakewood. Overall we had a good experience. Patrick is a professional photographer and we are very happy with the pictures that came out. He had the team of 4 people at the wedding day including videographers. Neither he or his partners blocked the view at the ceremony. He also did the engagement photo shoot for us before, so we all felt comfortable and had fun taking pictures.

Patrick and his crew were excellent. Anything I asked for was "Yes, no problem". Pat went out of his way to make sure I was satisfied with everything.

There are not enough words to describe how great Patrick and his whole crew are! From our first meeting we knew that Patrick was it. I do not really like taking pictures, but I could tell by his personality that he would make me feel much more comfortable! From our engagement session to our wedding day, Patrick was very professional, easy to work with and enthusiastic about what he does. The day of our wedding he was great and able to organize our very large wedding party so that everything went smoothly. I can honestly say that I love each and every picture that they took as well as the video! Our wedding day was amazing and I am so happy that we had Patrick Sweeney Photography there to capture each beautiful moment!

Patrick and his crew, both photography and videography were absolutely amazing. On top of their skills with the cameras, they are amazing people to work with. They kept us laughing and smiling all day. My bridal party loved him as well. They did my sister in laws quince, but I had never met him before. He was the only photographer we met with. After leaving our meeting, there really wasn't a question as to whether we would use them or not. The price is very reasonable, especially considering everything you get for the price. Our engagement pictures came out awesome and our wedding pictures were absolutely stunning. They captured everything so perfectly so that we can relive our wedding day forever! I can't say enough about these amazing people! Book them! You will not be disappointed.

After my husband and I got engaged in July of 2010 we were highly recommended to use Patrick Sweeney Photography by my cousin Jesse and his wife Joanna who used Pat and his crew for their November wedding in 2007. After seeing their pictures and video, it was a no brainer. Long story short, Pat was already booked for our wedding date but sometimes things are just meant to be and I am so glad *and lucky* to have been able to have Pat and his crew (Nancy, John, and Pete) share in and capture our special day. When we first met with Pat and his wife Nancy they took a great deal of time with us and were very informative about what all our options were as far as video and photography. In making our decision to use PSP we felt confident and excited. As our day drew closer Pat helped our anticipation grow when he took our engagement photos at Rutgers Gardens. The pictures were phenomenal and I could not wait to see what he would capture on our wedding day.

On our wedding day Pat and his team did not disappoint. They were on time and ready to capture all of the days moments from start to finish. Pat and his team really go out of their way to capture great shots and are open to any suggestions. At one point Pat even climbed a wall, despite his vertigo, to capture one of our favorite shots of the day at Lambert Castle.

Sadly, our wedding came and went so fast as many weddings do. After we returned from our honeymoon (1 week later) Pat already had our proofs ready. My husband and I couldn’t believe how quick the pictures were ready, the presentation of the pictures, as well as the quality and quantity of the pictures. (They really were everywhere and you would hardly have known it!) Pat and his team made the job of picking out our pictures so difficult once again…we loved them all.

Everyone who is a part of the PSP team is enthusiastic and passionate about their job and it shows in their work. My husband and I highly recommend Patrick Sweeney Photography. In fact, we already went back for our holiday photos and look forward to using Patrick Sweeney for other memorable moments in our lives.

We cannot say enough positive things about Patrick and his entire team. He makes you comfortable and confident in his services from the minute you meet him. His complimentary engagement photo session takes place at a location of your choice...where he gets to know you as a couple prior to your wedding day. His photos are fun and truly capture the essence of your wedding. I was a bridesmaid in a wedding he photgraphed, and knew that day I wanted use him in my wedding (and I wasn't even in engaged yet). His pictures are the best keepsakes from our engagement and wedding and my husband and I cannot recommend him more highly to our friends and family. And on top of his first rate service and great personality - his prices are better than reasonable!

Words cannot describe how great of a person and photographer Patrick Sweeney and his team are! My husband, family and guests were so impressed by his photos and his level of professionalism and the way he made everyone feel comfortable the day of our wedding. He went above and beyond being just a photographer and he helped with so many things that made our day so special. I cannot thank and recommend Patrick and his team enough for really making our day one to remember. Our pictures came out amazing and he captured every detail of our wedding so we can look back and treasure them forever.

We highly recommend Patrick Sweeney! He is a talented photographer, professional, has a great staff and knows how to make it a fun experience. After meeting with him once, we were able to relax and worry about other wedding details, because his experience was evident. He has a great personality which everyone in our wedding party and family enjoyed. His wife spoke some Spanish which came in handy for my in laws. He was able to be creative when it rained on my wedding day and I couldn't be happier with the product. Our photos were beautiful, the video was awesome and his price was reasonable. Don't do what I did and shop around, I dragged my poor husband to about 10 different photographers, I wish Sweeney was the first one. Let me save you some time, use Patrick Sweeney Photography, you won't be disappointed!

If I could rate Patrick Sweeney higher I would. He and his team are excellent. We had our wedding on April 2, 2011 and what INCREDIBLE pictures they took. They were so attentive, patient, and friendly I couldn't have asked for anything more. We didn't feel pressured or felt that we couldn't enjoy our wedding because we were being constantly pulled to the side to take pictures. I have been to weddings in which the photographer is constantly pulling the couple and not letting them enjoy themselves. Patrick you have an AMAZING talent and your ability to capture unforgettable moments are unrepayable. Thank you, John, Nancy, and Stacy for capturing every moment of my wedding. You guys are awesome. XOXO

Patrick and his wonderful wife photgraphed our wedding, and we could not have been happier! They were very professional and easy to work with from start to finish, and knew just what we were looking for the whole way! They made our special day perfect. We highly recommend Patrick Sweeney photography for any photograph needs!!

We first saw Patrick in action when he photographed our friend's wedding. After seeing their album, we knew we had to meet with Patrick. During our consultation he was very thorough and painted a picture of how our whole wedding day would play out. His funny, yet professional personality made us even more excited to book him. From our engagement session to wedding, Patrick and company made us very comfortable in front of the camera. We have received so many compliments on our pictures and have referred 2 other couples to Patrick already! You won't be disappointed!

We couldn't be happier with our photographer/videographer. Pat and his wife work as a team, and they are as professional as they come, yet still make you feel as though you are their only client. Much of their work is done in their own home, and they were welcoming and friendly upon meeting us, and helped us each and every step of the way to make the right choices for us. They were not pushy, and suggested that we even research other photographers in the area to make sure we were happy with our choice. In the end, we wanted quality, as well as a team we could be comfortable with on our wedding day.

On the big day, they were nearly invisible, yet somehow managed to get the most amazing shots of all the important moments, including much of the guests to remember everyone there at our day. They were creative and flexible, and were always available (even still, months after the wedding) if we had questions.

The work is quality, and is a wonderful deal for the work you are getting. Pat came to me from a friends recommendation and I would give anyone looking for a wedding photographer/videographer the same referral. Just made the entire wedding process enjoyable, memorable and gorgeous!!

SO let me begin with wow!! Patrick did such a great job from start to finish beginning with our engagement photos all the way to our wedding photos. We knew as soon as we met him that this was the photographer for us. He was very professional but yet we felt like he was a friend we knew for years. His expertise surpassed all other photographers we met with and there were quite a few because I am very picky. We felt comfortable with him and trusted what he said he would produce for us. Our photos were amazing and I could not have asked for anything better. This man will literally go out on a limb for you just to get a great shot. I would highly recommend Patrick Sweeney photography for any of your photography needs/wants.

Patrick is absolutely amazing! He and his wife photographed our wedding on August 14, 2010. They both were great. They managed to capture the perfect shots without us even noticing that they was there. They definitely know how to move around without being intrusive. The photos were extremely beautiful. I am still receiving rave reviews from my guests almost six months later. I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Patrick and his team. They really put the finishing touch on our special day.

Patrick was very professional, easy to keep in touch with and takes great pictures! We were very pleased. Great value too! Best price around. On the night of our wedding the team (Patrick, Nancy and Pete) were very efficient. They captured all of the great moments without feeling like they were following us around. Great at keeping bridal party engaged while taking photos - very quick too! Overall great company!

I can not recommend Patrick Sweeney Photography highly enough! I actually met Patrick and Nancy when I was a bridesmaid in a friend's wedding. They came into her living room and started working so effortlessly and quietly that I almost didn't notice that the "photo sessions" had begun. I loved that! Patrick and his team are so professional, yet so much fun that they truly enhance the feeling of the day instead of infringing upon it, as i've noticed other photographers can do. I happened to have been engaged to my fiance for only 2 weeks at that time, and at a later point in the night asked him if he could shoot our wedding because I was just so impressed with the all the shots he was taking throughout the day. Both our wedding day photos and our engagement photos came out incredible. He beautifully captured the joy of the ceremony and the emotion of our families without missing out on the wild side of the bridal party and the fun-filled reception. Not only do I love all of the photos and the video that he made, but I also found it to be a great value. I've heard of people spending a ton of money on a photographer and I've seen the pictures.... I don't know what they thought they were getting for the money, but certainly nothing that Patrick Sweeney can't do. He's got a creative side, a fun side and a serious side and our pictures reflect all of those angles.
Something that I'll tell anyone who is getting married and planning their wedding is "make it as easy on yourself as possible and minimize the stress where you can". That may sound like its something that's easier said than done, but having Patrick Sweeney Photography as your wedding photographer is a great way to do that. Plus, you're guaranteed to spend a lot of time laughing and smiling while he's around, and to me, that's really what a wedding day should be all about.

When we first started to look for a photographer for our wedding, I went somewhere and realized that I would not know who was atually photographing our wedding until a day or two before the wedding, which I did not like at all. Then, luckily we went to see Patrick Sweeney. We looked at his work and the pictures were amazing. He also had me laughing the entire time. That is when I knew we had to hire him. Of course I had to talk to the husband before we booked him, so once we got into the car, I asked him if we found our photographer and he said of course!! The day of the wedding, he showed up right on time and got right to work. I am not one who likes to have their picture taken, but Patrick and his wife really made me feel comfortable. Any time I need pictures taken, I now have a phtographer :)

Patrick and his wife are friends of the family so I knew them first on a personal level. I didn’t even look beyond Patrick Sweeney Photography for our wedding because having seen their work many times in the past; I knew it was the way to go for our wedding. He is so easy to talk with and was ready and willing to work with any requests that we had. I remember having tons of questions about our wedding day and he answered all of them and put me at ease.
Patrick takes unique shots both at the wedding and in the engagement session. We absolutely loved our photos and were able to incorporate them into a photo themed portion of our wedding day. It was amazing.
I have to make mention of the professionalism that Pat and his wife have. I cannot tell you how many people came up to me and called me after the wedding saying how friendly they were and how they were not in the way. It was like they weren’t even there but of course they were and they captured tons of amazing shots! I have been to weddings where every time I turn around the camera guy is right behind me and I’m knocking into him on the dance floor. This may seem like a small detail but it’s not. Patrick, his wife and even his videographer were awesome the whole night through. I mean how often do you get phone calls from your guests raving about your photographer!
Our wedding day was the best day of our lives and Patrick and his wife captured it beautifully. I cannot say enough about these people as photographers and as human beings!

My sister used Patrick Sweeney for her wedding in 2007 so when it came time to pick my photographer, it was a very easy decision! He did a wonderful job for her, and an even better job for me!! Not only has he done our weddings, but also about 7 of our friends! Needless to say that whenever any of our friends get engaged, my sister and I are quick to recommend Patrick Sweeney to them. I know that he must be very busy, but he treats every bride like their wedding is the most important. Patrick and his wife make you feel so comfortable while taking your pictures and his quality of work is amazing. There is not one shot that he missed during the whole night. My biggest problem was narrowing down all the pictures for our album. There were so many great ones that i wanted to include them all. I highly recommend Patrick Sweeney Photography.

Patrick was awesome! He did our engagement pictures as well. All the photos from the wedding and engagement came out great. He's very easy to work with and funny!

I cannot even begin to describe how happy I am with Patrick's work. I knew he was the photographer for me the moment we met. He always made me feel comfortable and at ease, from the first meeting to the day I picked up my photos. He is beyond professional and even showed up early on my wedding day which helped get some of my favorite shots.
One thing I thought was really great was that I never saw him. I've been to weddings where the photographer was always in the couple's way, making them pose this way or that. Patrick worked around us and it shows in our photos. No fake smiles or staged shots - just natural, beautiful photos.

Patrick is an excellent photographer with a great personality. He will make you feel so comfortable on your big day. Our wedding photo's came out amazing and everyone that saw them agreed. My sister also used him as her wedding photographer and was just as pleased. He is always striving to find a unique shot and takes such pride in his work. I totally recommend him to any bride who is looking for perfection on their wedding day :)

Patrick was on time, courteous, unintrusive, and accomodating. I have been in many weddings and have always seen the photographers in the way; Patrick did not interfere or get in the way at all! In fact, we didn't even notice he was at the reception, yet we had hundreds of pictures to choose from. Also, the quality of the pictures were better than any wedding pictures I have seen. He knows how to pose people, and he knows how to get things done quickly so that you can enjoy yourself at your wedding. I am so happy he was recommended to us, and we recommend him to everyone we know who are in need of photographers!

My husband and I were very happy with the service and pictures! Patrick and his wife made us feel very comfortable and made it a very pleasant experience for us :)

Patrick and his wife did a fabulous job photographing our wedding! They were very professional but also made you laugh and were very easy going!! Not only was the wedding photography beautiful Patrick also did a wonderful job on our engagement pictures!! I highly reccomend Patrick for any wedding or special event!

Patrick Sweeny is fantastic! He is by far the best wedding photographer out there and for the best price! My husband and I have been to over 30 weddings together and Patrick Sweeney is superior to any other photographers that we have ever seen.
I first saw Patrick and his wife Nancy at one of my friend’s wedding. I was not even engaged at the time, but I took note of the professionalism and how they worked the room. I knew Patrick Sweeney Photography would be my wedding photographer!
I felt at ease with Patrick from our first meeting. He is so nice and caring. He made sure we were happy with how the day would be. Our engagement session was so wonderful. After the ease of that session, I knew my wedding pictures were going to be more than I could ever ask for. I was right! We have so many wonderful photos and Patrick and Nancy were so accommodating and would take any pictures we asked for. They were everywhere taking so many pictures, but they were so subtle in the way they did it.
It actually rained on my wedding day, but Patrick made sure we still had fantastic shots and he made sure that the rain did not ruin our day. I actually thought it was really cool that he had us take pictures with an umbrella and they ended up being some of our favorites!
Our album came out so well. I could not have asked for anything more!!
We also used Patrick Sweeney as our videographer. Pete was really great! I was nervous that there would be a bright light on us, but there was no light. I did not even notice the camera. I loved the footage and the way the final DVD was put together! I am so happy that we decided to have a video that we can cherish for years to come.
I recommend Patrick Sweeney Photography to all my friends and family! Three of my bridesmaids booked his services after my wedding. Patrick Sweeney Photography is simply the best!

Pat was just what we needed to get our large and noisy families in line. When we first went to look through his photo books we were immediately impressed with his photojournalistic style; however we told him from the beginning that we wanted to enjoy our day and we would prefer more spontaneous photos as opposed to a lengthy photoshoot. He did exactly what we wanted and captured significant moments on the spot without prompting. His intuition for getting the perfect picture is impeccable and he does it while fitting right in with your guests. It was not like he was a vendor but an invited friend. He is thoughtful and even years later remembers key people and moments from our wedding day. We were impressed not only with the quality and beauty of the pictures and the value but also with Pat's energetic and familial attitude. We got all of our pictures back in a very reasonable time frame and he followed through on everything he said he would. Pat and Nancy did a great job and I would not change anything about this vendor.

I got Patrick Sweeney’s name from just doing a simple search on TheKnot.com. Not knowing a person who had used him for their wedding, I was a little unsure of simply going off the internet. However after meeting with him for 5 minutes both my husband and I knew he was the photographer for our wedding. He is not only one of the friendliest people I know; his prices are the best around. His pictures are amazing. In fact we are convinced he might be part ninja because some of the pictures are so amazing we don’t know how he could have possible taken a photo from that angle without anyone seeing him. Our proofs were done by the time we got back from our honeymoon. However, before we returned he had already put them all online and we were welcomed home by everyone saying how great our pictures looked. We could not be more pleased with our album. I have recommended him to two of my friends, both of whom used him and both of whom have recommended him to their family/friends that have used him as well.

After meeting with several vendors and being disappointed, we were referred to Patrick by my inlaws who happened to be at a wedding he was the photographer at. We saw pictures from the wedding and the couple raved about him so we had to meet him. A very pleasant surprise... he makes you feel extremely comfortable and I am or shall I say was very self conscience about not being photogenic. He and his crew are extremely reliable and a pleasure to work with. They are there but not in the way and to quote guests at my wedding.. "he wasn't afraid to get dirty to get the shot just right" after he was standing in bushes to get the perfect shot. I have recommended his services to SEVERAL people and continue to use his services myself... even though I live over an hour away!!! I loved my pictures, my album is amazing and I relive the day everytime I watch my video. I cannot say enough about Patrick, just trust his vision you won't be disappointed. Good luck and congrats!!

Patrick is not only an amazing photographer but also a friend. Patrick is extremely professional but also keeps things fun and lighthearted which is wonderful because the last thing you want to do is be stressed out on your wedding day!!! He definitely keeps you smiling and he takes beautiful and creative pictures! I feel he really tries to get to know you as a couple and then tailors your photos to fit with your personalities. I would absolutely recommend him for any events not just weddings!!!

My husband and I hired Patrick Sweeney for our wedding and I have to say he was fantastic. He was easy to chat to, open to all of our ideas and requirements, whilst offering some great suggestions.
He and his wife are very professional, Pat is also a very funny guy which I feel helped the wedding party and our guests to relax whilst having their photo's taken, not everyone is comfortable in front of a camera - and he totally helped our guests to relax, and got some really brilliant shots!
I love looking through our photo album, and the 1000 odd proofs which we got in a nice book. Every time I look at the pictures I remember how happy that day was, and as I see the genuine smiles and faces of my guests, I realize that this was as a result of the great photographer which we hired making the guests laugh and getting the most genuine reaction from them!
Not bossy or overbearing, Pat allowed us to enjoy our wedding, whilst guiding us about when to get the pictures in to get certain groups of guests at certain times so as not to miss the opportunities.
We would definitely recommend him 200%. And I wouldn't dream of going to anyone else for any other professional pictures that we'll get done.
