PATRICIA
Hi, I'm Patricia — An Ecuadorian-born, New York City-raised, bilingual photographer who loves, vibrant colors and enjoys meeting and making meaningful connections. If peopling were a sport, I'd medal in it. I'm forever smitten with my city & passionate about all things weddings. I bring warmth, intuition, and an editorial eye to every celebration I photograph. And oh, yes, I am obsessed with cake.

If we were neighbors, one night I might share a batch of carrot cupcakes, another night it could be ceviche or empanadas . You'll hear me jamming to Miley and Bruno Mars one hour, then cumbia, salsa and surprisingly—reggaeton the next. And yes, those Andean folk tunes—you know the ones, like El Condor Pasa (yes, the one Simon & Garfunkel adapted)—make an appearance too. And hey, I enjoy their version as well.
As a bilingual daughter of immigrants, I relate to those who grew up blancing their cultural roots with everyday life in the US. Whether you have also grown up harmonizing multiple cultures in your life or simply value connections, intention and a little bit of fun— I'd love to hear your story.

What the Industry Professionals Think:
“Great client relationship and attention to detail! I keep Patricia as one of my preferred vendors when working with brides. I highly recommend her.”
— Scheilys LAGO, Hair & MAKE-UP ARTIST
My love for wedding photography runs deeper than capturing the beautiful—it's about history and legacy. As a child, I poured over family photo albums, piecing together stories of those who came before me. Today, I treasure all the pictures of my grandparents and my parents. Through them I learned that Granddad was a master shipbuilder and Dad loved helping him. And they remind me how Grandma and Grandpa adored me, as much as I did them.
These pictures keep them forever present- a connection to my roots and a reminder that love transcends generations. That's what drives me as a photographer. I want to create tangible memories that tell your story and preserve your legacy. Because in the end, it's not just about beautiful images—it's about the meaning they carry for years to come.
From the spark of your proposal, through your engagement portraits, all the way to the moment you say "I do", I'll be there to capture every laugh, every tear, every proposal, a chic engagement session in the city, or your wedding day with your favorite people, my promise is to deliver images that feel as authentic, joyful, and stylish as your celebration.
