Behind the Lens

For me, photography isn't just a profession—it's a lifelong passion that started when I was a kid with a camera in my hand. After graduating from Franklin Pierce University in 2017 with a concentration in Media Production, I decided to turn this passion into my life’s work. My first business, Sunflower Photography, let me combine my love for music and photography, leading to amazing opportunities like working behind the scenes at a major music festival and with some of my favorite musicians.

Eventually, my lens found its way to a different kind of story—the kind told in a stolen glance at a wedding or the quiet laughter during a portrait session. This shift felt so personal and meaningful that I rebranded my business to Pat Delaney Photography, putting my name and my genuine connection behind every project. Since documenting my first wedding in 2018, I’ve had the privilege of capturing countless stories, from intimate ceremonies to grand celebrations and even some with well-known celebrities.

When I'm not behind the camera, my life is filled with a variety of passions that all feed my creative spirit. My love for nature and grounding myself led me to start my own farm, where I grow produce and care for my goats and chickens. I also have a sound healing practice, and I occasionally gig with my guitar. These pursuits allow me to connect with people on a deeper level, and that connection is something I bring to every photo session.

Ultimately, my photography is about more than just images; it's about building genuine connections and helping people celebrate and share their stories. I truly look forward to learning about your unique story and working with you to capture it.
