About

Welcome! We are Sylvia and Patrick Kibler, Charlottesville, Va based photographers who specialize in weddings, lifestyle, kids and portraiture. We are inspired by the funny and sweet things kids do, touching human interactions, the great outdoors and beautiful light. Living in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains with our five rambunctious children has provided us with the perfect landscape to blend these elements into our work. As intuitive parents of homeschooled kids, our creative eye is constantly sparked throughout our day to day lives and has molded us into pros at walking into those tough, high-pressure situations that can often arise and making our client’s vision come to life. In our free time, we are exploring, swimming, hiking, skiing or enjoying the outdoors with our kids!

Stunning photos and so easy to work with

Working with Sylvia and Patrick for our photographers was one of the best decisions that we made for our wedding. From looking at their portfolio, we loved their style - beautiful, candid moments that really capture the day. But meeting Sylvia in person for our engagement shoot really solidified that we had made a great choice! She (and Patrick) are complete pros - they made us feel comfortable in front of the camera, worked with our family/wedding party with ease, and captured the most beautiful moments that we are so happy to relive :) The photos are incredible and so was their style!!

Kibler Photography made our best day ever made even better

My experience with Kibler photography was nothing short of fantastic! Her work speaks for itself and I am truly in awe of her talent, I literally can’t say enough about how wonderful my experience was working with her team for my November 2021 wedding. She and her husband made myself, my husband, and our bridal party feel completely comfortable at all times creating the most organic and genuine photos! I am completely obsessed with their work and couldn’t be more pleased with our photographs.

The Only Photographers You Will Ever Need!

Oh my goodness, I can never say enough good things about photography duo Sylvia and Patrick. We booked them for both our engagement photos and our wedding. They are so bubbly, personable and made the process feel effortless - not to mention such gorgeous photography! We were able to include our dogs in our engagement shoot, since they weren't going to be at the wedding, and we love that we now have some portraits with them. Sylvia and Patrick were stellar on our wedding day, catching all of our important moments and shepherding our families with kindness. Some of my family are even going to use them for other professional photo services, because of their experience at our wedding! Will never have enough thank you's for their flexibility, positive energy, and delivery of incredible memories of our wedding. Thank you!!

Simply beautiful!

Sylvia and Patrick were so much fun to work with for both our engagement and wedding photographs! During our engagement photos, Sylvia got so excited about the location and the photos that it was easy to feel gorgeous! During our wedding, having two photographers was key in capturing the day and we are beyond ecstatic that we found the perfect fit! Highly recommend them and we can't wait to keep working with them to capture all of our key life moments!

Sylvia and Patrick were phenomenal start to finish. We spent a fun filled day with Sylvia for our engagement pictures and not only got phenomenal shots but just had a blast. It felt so effortless and Sylvia makes you feel so comfortable in front of the camera. Sylvia and Patrick were like ninjas the day of our wedding. They were everywhere capturing the moments of our special day but we never felt like they were in our faces about it. We got a few sneak peeks the Monday after which was exactly what we needed! They were also so fun to watch as they strategized on the perfect backgrounds and shots! You really can not ask for a better team!

Sylvia was amazing! She made our engagement session such a special day for my fiancée and I. She kept us engaged in conversation and had us laughing the whole time making the whole session so fun and natural. Our pictures turned out amazing and she even managed to get some great shots of us with our 1 year old golden retriever who is incapable of staying still. So happy we found Sylvia and we look forward to having her photograph our future special life moments.

Sylvia and her husband, Patrick, are awesome. They were so flexible with our engagement session and our pictures turned out amazing. Sylvia had great recommendations and together we were chose the perfect spot, and I brought millions of props for pictures and she had great vision for how to use them. It was such a fun session with them, and we got all our pictures within 2 weeks. They're wonderful, I definitely recommend talking to them about your wedding!

The Kiblers were a wonderful photography couple to have for our wedding day! They were professional and organized from the day we booked them. They were easy to keep in touch with leading up to the wedding day to discuss plans. We, along with our wedding party and family, found them very easy to work with on the wedding day and weren't stressed completing all the photos we wanted. Their product is wonderful and we would recommend Kibler Photography to anyone getting married in the Charlottesville area and couldn't speak more highly of them!

After seeing pictures done by Kibler Photography through a mutual friend, I knew we needed them to be our photographer for our wedding! We got to know each other through our engagement session and we absolutely loved them! They were so fun and laidback – us being slightly awkward when posing for pictures – they made us feel at ease! When we got the pictures back we were unbelievable happy with how they turned out, we could not wait to see what they would do with the wedding!
At the wedding we didn’t even know they were there and our guests said the same! They were so professional and worked so well with our Videographer, they asked for their information after the wedding because they loved working with them! We received our pictures back in such a short time and they are just awesome! They captured everything we wanted and more! We cannot wait to stare at them forever and will definitely be using Kibler for all of our future photography needs!! We cannot thank them enough!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
