About

PatB Wedding Photography

Welcome to the world of PatB Wedding Photography for innovative photography by Pat Bloomfield LSWPP.

Photography is my passion.  And producing beautiful imagery to thrill my clients is my inspiration.

This is really the essence of what PatB Wedding Photography stands for with; evocative imagery, fine quality  products, professional services giving you superb value for money.  I’m so confident you will be delighted that I guarantee it.

My work constantly evolves through observing and being influenced by the very best photographers from around the world.  Not only in capturing your images in camera but the whole process right through to creating the fine art prints that you receive.

My background in professional photography started with Motorsports, photographing club motorcycle racing – where I’d had a go at racing myself for one season before retiring.  This led to me having several articles published in local newspapers and acquiring a Media  Pass to gain entry to  top level race meetings such as British Superbikes.

At the same time I got involved in some fashion photography which led to photography bridal gowns for a local business.  This set my path towards getting involved in wedding photography, which is very demanding but also very rewarding.

Freelance photography has resulted in my photography being published both on the Internet and in magazines including the front cover of Alt Fashion.

I bring this experience to my wedding photography to create beautiful imagery of the bride and groom that makes their wedding photography stand out from the crowd.  Adding a blend of vintage fashion and contemporary fashion for truly innovative wedding photography.

In 2007,  I achieved my licentiate in wedding photography with the Society of Wedding and Portrait Photographers.  And have since gone on to win numerous awards in their monthly competitions with a few Golds and am regularly awarded Silver and Bronze.
