Patricia France is not in any of her family photos because she has always been the person behind the camera. She grew up in Southern California and moved to the Bay Area in 1992 to complete her undergraduate degree at UC Berkeley. She later studied at the Chicago Photography Center, braving the Windy City for two years before moving back to the Bay Area for good.

In addition to her gutsy, "do-anything-for-the-perfect-shot" approach to event photography, Patricia possesses a unique ability to reveal the essence of her subjects' personalities in her photographs. Her rapport with relative strangers springs from her sincerity and sense of humor. Patricia has a knack for understanding what her clients want, even if they aren't able to articulate a detailed aesthetic.

There's a deep, psychological element to photography that appeals to me. I enjoy portraiture and wedding photography because I am able to capture people in ways that they are unable to see on their own. It's like telling someone 'you're brilliant,' and then showing that person the "proof" on film. I will consider myself very lucky if I can continue to chronicle people and their celebrations for the rest of my life.   --PATRICIA

As a married, professional team, Patricia and David offer a balanced photographic vision. Collectively their photographs convey both motion and emotional nuance. Though Patricia and David generally work in and around the Bay Area and Wine Country, they have also traveled beyond the Bay for events.
