Pat Cori Photography captured our wedding day and the photos were amazing!!! Not only is she so kind and professional, she is beyond talented. I would absolutely hire her for another event.
Pat is an incredibly talented and supportive photographer. She made our engagement session fun and enjoyable even though my husband and I don’t do well in front of cameras. On the wedding day, she took her time in order to ensure her artistic vision was carried out and gave advice when we began to feel nervous or overwhelmed. Pat does an amazing job of making her clients feel like a friend and not just someone paying for her services. She is truly amazing! I cannot recommend her enough.
My husband and I both hit it off with Pat on our very first meeting. She is knowledgeable, genuine, and so easy to speak to. My gratitude for her is immeasurable and she was truly the best support system while trying to plan a wedding...especially during 2020. Any anxieties I had during the engagement session or on our wedding day were quickly resolved because she truly acts as a friend during what can be a whirlwind of a day. She is always responsive, honest, and truly connects with her couples’ individuality. I could go on and on! You’re gaining a friend in Pat, as well as picture perfect memories of your most special day!
PAT CORI WAS OUR DREAM PHOTOGRAPHER. From the first time I met and worked with Pat professionally, I knew I wanted her to be my photographer if I ever got married. Pat has a way of capturing such natural moments of connection - not posed and awkward - and making them look magical! We wanted to go ice skating for some of our engagement photos (for sentimental reasons, not because we're good skaters), and she agreed without hesitation! There were many other people on the ice and we were trying so hard not to fall, but you'd never know that in our photos! Not only is the quality of her photos remarkable, but she captures REAL emotions and real moments. On top of that, she's so fun to work with, and makes you feel like you've always known her! I love Pat, and would recommend her to any couple who wants their photos to truly capture their unique connection.
Pat is just simply the best! She’s not only an amazing photographer but she’s wonderful to work with (as a bride & as a vendor)! We received our wedding photos back recently and let me tell you, if you have not booked a photographer for your special day, don’t wait another minute to book Pat Cori Photography. Our wedding photos were even more breathtaking than I imagined they would be, Pat captured our day and our relationship perfectly and we are so glad we hired her for our wedding. I’ve known Pat for a couple years and after the first wedding we worked together on, I knew I’d want her to shoot my wedding one day. When I reached out to see if she would be interested in being the photographer for our wedding, Tyler and I didn't have a wedding date yet. We wanted Pat to capture our engagement photos on the Blue Ridge Parkway as the Fall leaves were changing and time was ticking. Pat didn't skip a beat, jumped right in and made sure we had the perfect date scheduled to take engagement photos. To say they were amazing is an understatement and we had so much fun during the session! Several weeks went by and we still hadn't found a venue for our wedding, which meant we still didn't have a wedding date. Pat was so patient with us and worked with us making sure we knew which dates she was still available and we were able to work with each other's schedules to make sure she could work with us on our wedding day. Leading up to and on the day of our wedding, Pat was so helpful with shot lists and what would and wouldn't work to make our day run smoothly (since neither of us like a lot of pictures or attention) she listened to what we wanted and she and her second shooter made perfect suggestions. I can't say enough wonderful things about Pat, if you are looking for an amazing, talented, fun photographer for your wedding day who will deliver phenomenal pictures for you and your spouse to cherish for years to come, book Pat today! The pictures speak for themselves and she is worth every penny and more!
It was shortly after getting engaged that I discovered Pat Cori Photography and I was immediately interested in working with the woman behind the camera, Patricia C. Giovannini. I didn’t need a reference or prior experience, her work spoke for itself. When I contacted Patricia for the first time I loved that she offered to meet with me and my fiance for coffee to get to know each other and see her portfolio. My fiance and I had such good vibes after meeting with Pat that we booked Pat Cori Photography immediately even though our wedding was over a year away! Between then and our wedding day, Pat worked with us for our engagement photoshoot (which was SO fun) and was more than willing to provide us planning advice from a photographer’s perspective (such as setting a ceremony time to get the perfect lighting). By the time our wedding day arrived, Pat was more than our photographer, she was a friend we could trust to capture all the special moments on our big day. I’ll tell one small story to illustrate her dedication to her clients. A couple days before our wedding day the forecast was showing pretty much 100% chance of rain. No matter how hard I tried not to care, I was feeling pretty gloomy about that fact. It wasn’t until speaking to Pat that my spirits were lifted. She said to me and my fiance, “If you all are willing to play in the rain, I’ll play too!”. The evening of our wedding, my husband and I slipped away with Pat to take shots of just the two of us. Pat got absolutely soaked but captured the most stunning picture of us kissing under an umbrella in the rain with candlelight cascading beside us. Patricia is more than a wedding photographer, she is a brilliant artist. I recommend her and Pat Cori Photography unequivocally.
The minute I met Pat, I knew she would photograph our wedding. When you first speak with her, the passion she has for her profession is palpable. It is obvious she is much more than a photographer -- Pat is a true artist who cares immensely about the quality and style of her work, while ensuring she connects with each and every one of her clients. She really cares about getting to know you and making you feel as comfortable as possible. Plus, Pat likes to keep things fun, light, and more impromptu! She had her hands full with my (now) husband, who is definitely not a fan of the camera, but even managed to get him relaxed enough for a smile or two :) I highly recommend buying a package with an engagement session (even if you have previously had pictures made or did not intend to do such) because it gives you a chance (& Pat) to see how you react in front of the camera - plus, more time with Pat before the big day! I highly recommend Pat to anyone in Roanoke and the surrounding areas of SW VA. Our day wouldn't have been the same without her & Lindsey (who was an awesome addition and just as easy to work with) -- I can't wait to see our wedding pictures!
