Patty Schuchman Photography

eplying to emails, extremely professional leading up to the day and the day of, and delivered fantastic photographs! She went above and beyond the day of to make sure everything went smoothly. She was so fun to work with and looked like she was having so much fun at our wedding. What more could you ask for?

g our engagement shoot. She went above and beyond to plan which pictures we would like to take throughout the wedding day, and learn the best locations at our venue. On wedding day, Patty and her assistants were so fun to work with, and got through our shot list very efficiently so we could enjoy the day. I am so grateful for everything she did to capture our day so beautifully. But more importantly, I really feel like I made a new friend.

e pennies. Patty has an excellent business practice that I believe took a lot of weight off our shoulders. She had an on boarding process to find out not just what we wanted but who we were. What our interest were. After our initial interview with her I knew we had our photographer. Patty kept in touch with us through out the process. She also did our engagement photos. I can’t imagine it was easy for her with us dragging her around Bluemont for photos. She isn’t just a, “ok what do you want?” photographer. In addition to our own ideas, Patty offered some of her own which turned out great in the final product. I love how she kept us in anticipation to see the photos with sneak previews/glimpses before the whole set was given to us. Patty also has a second calling. She could also be a great wedding coordinator. She was great at following itineraries to a T. She kept all parties involved on there toes and from running behind. The best part was, my wife and I never felt rushed. Come to final itinerary, time we had several vendors involved that also provided coordination services. It was interesting to see them all but heads together on some things. Through it’s entirety though Patty was a great asset who helped resolve any issues everyone came up with and provided great ideas and foresight into possible situations we may run into. Now the big day. Patty and her team arrived on time when and where they were needed. They had very minimal setup time to start shuttering away at the moments to come. Patty and her team were there for each aspect on the day of. Grooms getting dressed and taking celebratory shots, and taking more shots. She was there for my bride to get the fun of putting makeup on and arriving onsite. We did a first look which honestly kept a lot of rushing around down to a minimum. It offered us more time for guests and drinks. Another thing I loved is her album for just the details on the whole day. After the day was done I felt like I hadn’t gotten the proper time to do a lot of things like pay attention to all the little details of the decorations. Patty was on top of that apparently. We got all kinds of POV on how the event was laid out and decorated down to the itty bitty details like placements and silverware. Things you would never think you would have wanted to see. Patty gave a great exit interview as well. She presented us with all of our photos on multiple copies of digital media as well as a personal gift with her most favorite photo. I would recommend Patty to any of my friends and/or family 100 times over. She doesn’t mess around. I could barely get her to share a waltz on the dance floor because she didn’t want to miss a moment. I know we will also use her services with future events.

. From our first meeting, I knew Patty was the perfect fit to be our wedding photography. She was prompt when responding to my inquiry about setting up a time to meet, was early to our meeting, discussion her background in photography, showed samples of her work, and was easy to talk to when discussing ideas and questions pertaining to the big day. From the time we asked Patty to be our wedding photography to our wedding day (and even after!), she was an absolutely joy to work with. She responded in a timely manner, answered all our questions in detail, and was extremely organized throughout the entire process. Both our wedding photos and engagement pictures for Save the Dates were taken by Patty and the amount of responses we have received from family and friends in awe of how beautiful the pictures are has been very exciting. On the day of our wedding, Patty and her team were on time, fully prepared with all their equipment and ready to go when the bridal party arrived to Stone Tower. Patty recognizes that a wedding day is a significant day for a lot of people and truly took great attention to detail in making sure that all aspects of a wedding day were captured in her photos. We could not be more happy with our wedding photos and we know they will be viewed often throughout our life together, reminiscing about this memorable day in a lives.

d Patty when she was looking for photographers for the engagement/save the date and wedding pictures.From their first meeting, my daughter knew Patty was the photographer for their special day. She was prompt when meeting for scheduled appointments, stayed in touch during the wedding planning , very professional and organized photographing the bride & groom, family and guests. When my daughter asked Patty if her uncle could bring his antique pink Cadillac to use for the photographs, she was thrilled. What a perfect back drop to include in the vineyard wedding pictures!! I am the MOB (mother of bride) and my first meeting with Patty was the day of the wedding. Since I live out of town, my daughter had been meeting with wedding vendors. Patty was so welcoming to me , AOB ( aunt of bride) and the bridal party as we got ready in the bridal cottage before the wedding. Patty kept everyone organized and was very conscious about making my daughter feel so special and important as she captured ever moment. She helped when an issue developed that might have made the bride nervous and upset. Patty calmly waited for my daughter to regain composure and continued once the bride was ready. Thanks Patty-that was very thoughtful!!! We will always reminiscing about my daughter and son in-laws "Best Day Ever Wedding" when viewing the talented photography of Patty Schuchman.

ot of Indian traditions throughout the weekend). Patty had never photographed an Indian wedding before, but she was fantastic about jumping right into both the Indian and non-Indian traditions and did a wonderful job with everything. She is extremely organized and responds to emails right away, taking care to thoroughly answer any questions or concerns you might have. It was a relief to have someone you can count on during the craziness of wedding planning! I was also thrilled about how quickly she got our photos to us. Along with the digital files, she sent us some beautiful prints from the weekend, which was so thoughtful. We love looking at the moments she was able to capture. Thanks so much for everything, Patty!

ot be more happy with the photos. Patty and her assistant photographer took the time to check in with me several times through the evening to see if there where any additional pictures that I wanted to be taken. We did not have a videographer at the wedding; however, the pictures that Patty took captured the excitement, enthusiasm, and job felt not only by the Bride and Groom, but by everyone there. I was very pleased with the quality and quantity of photos. I would highly recommend Patty Schuchman Photography not only for weddings but any event that you would like to be capture and remember.

re the actual sunset in the background, but look so beautiful it is almost like a backdrop that was created. She will perform well above your expectations.

the ceremony so that we could have our wedding party pictures taken in a timely fashion and get to the reception to start our celebration 🍾 The whole experience was wonderful from the engagement pics several months before to the sparkler send off at the end of the night. We would refer her over and over 👍😄

turned out! From our engagement pictures, to the wedding photos I can't gush enough about how beautiful they are! We loved our meeting with her so much we recommend her to any and everyone who asks! My husband and I are already planning to schedule some fall photos with her that will include our pup! If you are on the fence about who to use I 100% say go with Patty! She makes you feel at ease and will answer any and every question you throw at her, believe me I know.

is very organized and even met us at our venue weeks before hand so she could picture where the best shots would be taken. She already had a list of different pictures ready to go but was incredibly flexible and open to taking any other shots we wanted throughout the day. Communication leading up to the wedding and even after was always quick and the turn around between our wedding date and when we received access to all of our photos was so fast! I cannot recommend Patty highly enough, she and her teamed captured our special day perfectly.

and she is exceptionally personable and easy to work with. We are a bit rambunctious, but that did not deter Patty from taking charge and making sure she got the shots that she knew we would want as we look back on this special day. Despite the rain, Patty and her "girls" were not afraid to get down and dirty and do everything they could to help us with everything we needed. I cannot recommend this photographer highly enough and we cannot wait to get the pics that we know will be second to none. Thank you Patty. You made Rachel and Greg's day more than we could have dreamed.

r would have thought of. She really took the time to find out what we wanted and made it happen. Her photographs came out stunning... we have received so many compliments on them and we are so incredibly happy with how it all turned out. You can tell how much Patty truly enjoys doing this... it is evident in her work and how excited she gets about her projects. I highly recommend her to anyone looking... she really knows what she is doing and is a kind, wonderful person to work with.

family. Her organizational skills during the pre planning phase were executed flawlessly on the day of each wedding, making for a stress free experience. Patty is an experienced and professional photographer and we highly recommend her for your event!

finer details. The day was a blur, but we have so many fantastic photos that really bring the day back to life for us. Thank you, Patty for giving us such special memories!

uring the big day! She takes the time to get every shot just right, and leaves you with an immense collection of perfectly captured memories. My wife and I can't wait to work with Patty again!

Anyone would be lucky to have her photograph their wedding!

Our pictures from the day are beautiful!

reality. Her attention to detail is truly incredible, as she monitored the position of the setting sun and incorporated small, personal props into our photos. Patty is a wonderful person to work with and made the whole experience completely stress free!

, but they also helped keep our timeline running smoothly. Her suggestions for dynamic and incredibly timed photos created moments that we know we would not have gotten from other photographers. This is the second time that Patty has done pictures for me and the quality that you get will greatly surpass your expectations. Every moment, from planning for the wedding to receiving the finished product, was stress free and seamless! Do not hesitate! Book her today!

ore in the future!

and secure. She got to know us and our personalities during our engagement shoot, and ultimately created a perfect record of our wedding day. We especially appreciated that we were able to purchase just the digital rights to the images from her so that we could do with them what we wanted. We enjoyed working with her and were so appreciative of the beautiful images she captured of us. Thanks, Patty!

amily photos when we bought our first house. I can't say enough good things.
