Elegant editorial imagery rooted in connection and meaning

For couples who value both beauty and meaning

I work with couples who value more than beautiful photographs, they want an experience that feels calm, guided, and effortless.

The result is imagery that feels timeless, emotional, and naturally elegant.

With over eight years of experience as a wedding photographer, I document elegant weddings across New York and New Jersey.

About Monica Patricio

Originally from Brazil, I began my photography career in London before continuing my work in the United States, documenting weddings with a blend of classic romance and editorial artistry .

I’m drawn to honest moments, the quiet in-between glances, the laughter, the emotion that unfolds naturally throughout the day.

My role is to guide you when needed, step back when the moment calls for it, and create images that reflect not just how your wedding looked, but how it truly felt.
