WELL, HELLO THERE.

I'm Patricia Lyons and welcome to my blogsite. I am an international lifestyle photographer based in Virginia.
I shoot, well, everything, but you'll find I mainly photograph editorial for select magazines, as well as beautiful weddings in Virginia and around the world. Some photo slideshows are stacked below to the right, and you can even watch them all if you have a whole lot of time and a jug of coffee (and I've been told a box of tissues). You can also 'search' the blog if you are looking for something specific.

Or I suppose you could just enjoy the ride back in time, as everything happened.
I know I have.

Kelly and Graham



Kelly and Graham had such a fantastic wedding weekend! From the casual BBQ at the Hunt Club featuring delicious country fare, competitive rounds of UVA cornhole*, really cold beers, and orange and blue m&ms, to the refined and elegant evening at Farmington (once again planned by the amazing team at Easton Events), everyone was happy, happy, happy. Though I have to confess I might have had a tear or two in my eyes when Kelly's father saw her for the first time. And during his toast. Oh, and during their father daughter dance. OK, and as he watched them drive off at the end of the night.

Kelly had the most contagious smile that warmed everyone around her, and Graham most of all. The brief walk at sunset with the two of them was, as always, such a great opportunity to catch them relaxed and deliriously happy alone (I don't count) for a moment while revelers danced inside.

* cornhole is like a bean bag toss, but really devoted UVA alums might utilize wooden platforms painted orange and blue with a huge UVA logo on them and blue and orange bean bags. Maybe. They might also have the groomsmen meet at the famed "White Spot" before the ceremony to pay homage.
