We truly cannot even begin to express how overwhelmed with appreciation we are for Patrick and Special Moments Photography!! Our first impression after contacting them definitely set the stage for a wonderful working relationship!
As soon as I finished filling it out the form online and submitting it, within a few minutes we received a call from Patrick, the owner. From that first conversation you could tell that this was way more than a business for him, this was his passion and love. The way he described the process was so genuine and from the heart. The whole process of hiring Special Moments to be our photographer for our daughter’s wedding, the planning, the day of, the photos themselves, receiving the proofs…every single step of the way was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!! The whole reason you have a photographer is to capture the magic and beauty of the day and Patrick did that for sure! The pictures are absolutely stunning! And I mean stunning! We have shared them with family and friends, and everyone raves about them! There are so many favorites that honestly, they are probably all favorites!!! The day of the wedding Patrick arrived early and photographed the girls getting ready, capturing some really beautiful moments. The pictures of the wedding, the families, the un-posed moments captured, the ceremony, reception, sunset pictures…they are all stunning! So if you are looking for a photographer in Michigan…PLEASE sign up with Special Moments! It will be one of the best decisions you will make for your wedding! Patrick is an amazing person to work with and you will cherish these pictures forever!!! Highly Highly recommend!!!!

Again… thank you!   Karen (parent)

AMAZING PHOTOGRAPHER

Margaret & Anthony

Patrick Abel was our photographer. I hadn’t met him until the day of our wedding. He made me feel very comfortable over our phone meeting and I was able to send him many looks and styles of pictures I wanted which he then showed up with in his pocket. He was very organized, remembered all of my families names based on our phone meeting. So professional, but more than that he was SO MUCH FUN!!! He engaged our wedding party and guests so energetically. His photo ideas were far beyond what I could have asked for. The creativity in his work is truly amazing! I would love to be able to afford him for all of my family events! He was my favorite vendor to work with!

 Magreta & Jack

Hi Patrick, …here’s what we shared on Facebook today:
“Patrick’s pictures of our wedding ceremony and reception are very special, excellent, and artistic!! His experience led to some very unique photographs. We had a series of pictures taken on the railroad tracks outside Station 885 and some very scenic photos in a beautiful garden nearby. This made for some very unusual and memorable photos for our wedding picture collection. His insight was invaluable. He was very personable and made several useful suggestions about content and sites for the photos. He spent time getting to know the two of us so he could personalize our wedding album. All of this resulted in a very pleasant experience. Thank you so much Patrick!!”

Jami & Brad Pettiford

My wife, Jami, and I had Patrick as our photographer for our Valentine’s Day wedding. It was obvious throughout the day and night that his ability and skill as a photographer was met, if not surpassed, by his genuine excitement and passion for the job. He WANTED us to have outstanding pictures. He was willing to trudge through snowy grass, climb huge snow mounds, stop traffic and brave the cold so we’ll always have great pictures to help remember the big day. By doing so, he, himself, provided us with tremendously fond memories that we will keep with us forever. Patrick’s guidance throughout the planning process, as well as his pleasant personality and skills on wedding day helped us reach our full potential of happiness. I almost wish Jami and I could have a second wedding – just for fun – so we could work with Patrick some more!

Great pictures! posted 10/15/2012 The Knot: I recently got married and used Patrick A from Special Moments Photography. He was great! He was very flexible before and during the wedding. I lived farther away from their office, so he was very accommodating to meet with me closer to where I live instead of making me drive out there every time we had to meet. Also, he was very knowledgeable about photography and everyone was blown away with my pictures. Definitely worth the money

I tell absolutely everyone that the best decision we made for the wedding was booking Patrick as our photographer. Our wedding photographs are PHENOMENAL – we LOVE them! In fact, we don’t even know where to start when picking out our favorites for our album. We’ve been told by friends and family that our late night pictures are the most romantic photographs they’ve ever seen. Working with Patrick was a fabulous experience: he is friendly, fun, professional, and his passion for outstanding photography shines through. Our families and wedding party couldn’t say enough wonderful things about their experience with Patrick, he put everyone at ease in front of the camera. One of our favorite things were the sneak peaks that Patrick would show us of the amazing shot(s) he had just captured. We are so honored that Patrick shared his artistic talents with us; he is truly a master of his craft. Thanks to him we have amazing photos to cherish for life. Diane Murphy & Brad Myers

Patrick photographed our engagement pictures and our wedding – we can’t speak for any of the other photographers from the studio. One of the best decisions we made for our wedding!! Patrick is a genius!! Our photos are so beautiful. Patrick was a true professional, a joy to be around, easy to work with and he works FAST. I’ve never seen another wedding photographer get the results that he did in such a short amount of time – which is SO important on your wedding day since you don’t want to spend the whole day taking pictures but you want every perfect picture you can get when the day is over. He also makes the best of any situation. It was POURING rain on the day he took our engagement pictures and the majority of them were taken outside. Our photos were perfect and we didn’t get wet!! Even more amazing, we had our dog in some of our engagement pictures and he was actually able to get her to sit still and pose for the camera – amazing!!

I would ABSOLUTELY recommend Special Moments!!! Patrick was our photographer and we could not have asked for anyone better. He made everything fun and made us laugh too. His work is unbelievable. I wish we could have taken him on our honeymoon to get pics of us on the beach!! If you are unsure who you want to choose for your wedding, Patrick @ Special Moments would be your best choice. THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH PATRICK!! He is so fun to work with and I swear he can read minds! He knew exactly what we were looking to capture on our wedding day. Fun shots, serious shots, and totally candid shots – his photographs told our story perfectly! Thanks Patrick! You’re the best!

Patrick was very efficient and fluid with his photography before, during, and after the wedding. He had a great eye for color and backdrops and was excellent at arranging the bridal party and family members so that they all looked their best in the pictures. Little things, like making sure the mens’ jackets were buttoned and the girls’ bouquets were all straight, really makes a difference in the final product. Thanks again!
