"Patricia became a part of our day and felt like an extension of our wedding party! The planning process was easy, Patricia was very prompt responding to requests and answering questions. We certainly appreciated all her guidance and wedding wisdom. Out wedding day was perfect but like everyone. There were logistics issues and I had an allergic reaction to some of the makeup. Patricia was a calming influence and took everything in stride. We followed her guidance as far as timing and had plenty of time for prep photos, details, wedding part photos and the first look AND had time to fix and redo makeup and relax. They day went exceedingly well and we are thrilled with the photos. We received our photos very fast and love all of them. Kivalo truly captured the moments of the day and all the photos feel "ours" and reflect our day. There are no photos resembling stock photos and each captures an essence of the day. We couldn't be happier. Highly recommend Kivalo, when the time comes we will rebook for maternity and baby photos and family sessions for years to come."

If you want stunning, artistic, photos that capture every feeling that you have on your wedding day, then Patricia is definitely the photographer that you you need to hire! From planning, to payment, to managing everyone on the actual wedding day, she is extremely organized and has a process in place for everything. Patricia, and her team, are top notch and you will absolutely love how efficient they are on your wedding day. I wanted to get through formal portraits fairly quickly as I valued the candid shots more and I couldn't be happier with the photos we ended up with, both formal and candid AND we still had time to attend part of our cocktail hour without doing a First Look. I was told that wasn't possible, but I knew that she would make it happen! I still can't stop going through our wedding photos, and I love all of them! The beauty and emotion captured in them, takes me right back to our wedding day. Working with Patricia has been such a joy, I have no doubt that we will continue using her for family photos!"

"What drew me to Patricia initially was that after seeing her pictures of weddings I realized that I was smiling and laughing...and I was all alone. She tells such a great story with her images and what I loved the most was her uncanny ability to capture people's unique characters. Patricia is a talent among talents. Her very low-key and "real" personality was such a great energy to have on a pretty emotional day!"

"We received the most beautiful photos of our wedding in record time and we couldn't believe how amazing they were. Patricia understood when we communicated to her the style of photos we wanted and was thoughtful enough to include everything that was important to us. Her intuition as a photographer shows in the many moments she captured that could not have been planned. Just as important, Patricia was so kind and helpful and made us feel instantly comfortable despite our jangling nerves! She went far beyond the role of photographer, helping to zip my dress and clip flowers in my hair when my hands were too shaky. She was extremely flexible and patient and at the same time a whole lot of fun to spend the evening with! By the time our night ended she felt like an old friend."
