Brandon Patoc Photography

What is your style of photography?

Artistic Wedding Photojournalism. This means that I have a fresh and unique approach to each wedding, but draw from my background in traditional fine art photography. I blend traditional with contemporary, which results in timeless imagery that is current, but not trendy. I want you to love your pictures now and twenty years from now.

What is your philosophy towards weddings?

We view weddings as all about relationships and people. People are very important to us and we have a very relational-driven approach to documenting weddings. Our goal is to capture emotion and personalities -- from the simple interactions with guests and family, to the candid outbursts between you and your best friends on the dance floor. By focussing on people, we feel that our images offer a uniqueness and sentiment that will tell the beginning of your story for all of your years to come.

What is your price range of services?

Several customizable packages beginning at only $2,400.

What does this include?

The services available to our clients includes personalized service and photography by Brandon Patoc for as many hours as needed, an unlimited number of photographs available online and on DVD, professional prints, handmade albums and books, engagement and bridal portrait sessions and much more.

Do you have packages? If so, what do they include?

We do our best to personalize our packages based off of the varying need of each of our clients. Some of the options available to our clients include: unlimited photography coverage, images available online and on DVD, engagement sessions, proof books, albums and books, professional prints and canvases, and the flexibility to make changes as needed to each package.

Do you shoot with an assistant?

Associate photographers are available to serve as a second photographer, but Brandon Patoc is the main photographer at every wedding.

Will you be the one shooting the wedding or do you hire other photographers as well?

All photography is exclusively captured by Brandon Patoc and his associate photographers. Personalized service is paramount to how we do business and to providing clients with the best possible images, so we never outsource our photography. Assistants are often used for larger weddings or depending on a client’s need, but Brandon Patoc is always present and the primary photographer.

Do you shoot digitally or with film or both?

My first pictures and first few years of photography were all captured with film. Digital is now my preferred method for capturing weddings, but because I have such a huge appreciation for fine art and because my background is in artistic fine art photography, I often shoot one or two rolls of film at a wedding. This provides my clients with museum-quality images and adds significant value to a collection of wedding photographs.

After the wedding, how long until the proofs are ready?

Up to eight weeks depending on the time of year and package selected.

What are your custom print prices? Are any prints included with the packages?

Professional-grade prints begin at only $9. Most packages include a discounted print credit or a few prints built into the package. Please contact us for more information.

Special services offered (optional or included):

Basic packages include the time spent at your wedding, image color-correction and editing, rights to all of the images for clients to reproduce, proofing and a disc of the color-corrected files.

For an added investment, we also offer engagement sessions, multiple-day wedding coverage, wedding rehearsal/dinner coverage, FILM coverage, archival silver-gelatin prints, canvases, slideshows and more!

Please contact us for a personalized offer and consultation.

Is there anything else you would like me to know?

I love my clients. I place people before business and enjoy being a special part of the wedding day. I’m always available to answer questions, discuss your wedding and want photography to be the least of your worries on the day of your wedding. Earning your trust is important to my approach and ultimately, will help me blend in with your guests on the day of your wedding, so that I can take the best pictures possible. Most of the compliments I receive revolve around how amazed and blown-away a client was that I was able to capture such beautiful and emotional photographs at their wedding without being obtrusive or seen. Give me a call or send an email -- let’s meet and discuss your plans for an amazing wedding story.
