An intentional, inclusive and fun wedding photography experience

Specializing in documentary-style wedding and elopement photography against the stunning and rugged backdrop of Vancouver Island.

Bringing you back to how it all felt. Like the warm sun on your shoulders as your grandma hugs you. Or maybe the wind was in your hair and your eyes misty with tears. Little glances, laughs and smiles. Just hundreds of fleeting moments, all adding up to be the best day of your life.

Artfully captured, as it happened.

Hey, I’m Patricia!

Outdoor enthusiast, LOTR nerd, and jack-of-all-crafts (knitting, embroidery, paracord keychains, you name it!)

My home is in Port Alberni, and I’ve been photographing love stories here on Vancouver Island for over a decade, with well over 300 weddings under my belt. I have a deep connection to the mountains and forests of the West Coast and am always excited to share some of my favourite places with others! I could truly yap on and on about the best hikes on Vancouver Island.

My approach to wedding and elopement photography is all about keeping things organic and playful, while helping you feel at ease along the way. I aim to capture genuine moments that feel like you’re stepping into a memory. I’m also allergic to taking myself too seriously, because after all life is silly, so why not embrace it! 

I celebrate diversity and cater to all identities, body types, and abilities! As a neurodivergent and queer individual myself, I am passionate about creating an inclusive space where every love story is celebrated.

If you’re after a fun and easy-going photography experience, or want to go off the beaten path for your wedding, I would love to chat with you!

Love Notes

  • “She certainly takes care to capture a moment beautifully.”

    There are so many wonderful reasons to choose Patricia for your special photo shoot; she’s very communicative and clear with her organization, she has a wonderful eye, style of photography, and she’s really fun! We were constantly laughing and she was encouraging us to be silly. She certainly takes care to capture a moment beautifully. I can’t recommend her enough!

  • “She was like a ninja.”

    Patricia was absolutely wonderful to work with and we could not be happier with our photos! She brought a great energy to our photoshoot and was able to bring out some really great candid moments between my wife and me. Throughout the ceremony and the reception she was like a ninja – she seemed to be everywhere and nowhere at the same time.

  • “She carries energy throughout the entire day.”

    Booking Moonrise for our wedding was the best choice we made! Patricia captured great candid moments and stunning portraits that we are going to cherish forever. I would also like to highlight how Patricia is a great photographer to have around, she carries energy throughout the entire day that brings forward some amazing photos without feeling invasive. Our guests all loved her, and her vast experience shows through her charming practice and methods. Moonrise is the best choice by far!
