Meet Patience

Every love story is different, your photos should reflect that. I believe in documenting your wedding day with warmth, intention, and honest storytelling. From the first look to the final dance, your memories deserve to be captured in a way that feels both effortless and timeless.
I’m Patience. the heart and vision behind Patience Photos. I see wedding photography as more than just images; it’s connection, legacy, and emotion frozen in time. I don’t just show up with a camera, I show up for you. The laughter, the tears, the way your people celebrate you — it all matters to me.
With a blend of traditional posing, editorial artistry and heartfelt candids, I aim to create photographs that feel as beautiful as the memories themselves — the kind you’ll relive for decades to come.
