Val captured the moments of our wedding beautifully. She was a pleasure to work with from our initial meeting to the final delivery of photos. She was very personable, making us feel completely at ease throughout the entire day. She made a point to capture photos similar to our inspiration photos, and she made it a priority to get photos at all the places we wanted, both for our first look and at our venue. For two people who are not necessarily comfortable in front of the camera, she gave great direction and made us feel confident. Everyone in my wedding party raved about how efficient Val was. She made the experience fun and made everyone feel comfortable. We highly recommend Val to anyone seeking a talented photographer who will beautifully document their most cherished moments!

We are so thrilled that we decided to hire Val for our wedding. She was a joy to work with on both the engagement shoot and wedding day. She made us feel comfortable as 2 people not often in front of a camera. She worked with our vendors seamlessly the day of, and was instrumental in keeping the day going. Anyone looking to hire an outstanding photographer should hire Val!

Val did a fantastic job at our wedding. She was adaptable with changing plans and weather conditions, was efficient and professional in making sure all family photos were done in a timely manner, and she captured some really great shots. We did both our engagement photos and wedding photos with Val and were really happy with her work on both. On our wedding day my wife and I were running around in a daze. Val was very cool, calm, collected, and got all the photos we needed done. We appreciate her!

Val is a phenomenal photographer. We’ve hired her to capture a few special moments now and I can’t wait to book her again. She was very assertive in chaotic environments, which we loved and needed. Val also has a great attention to detail and captures the best of moments.

Val was so amazing. I seriously can’t say enough good things about her and the way she helps you capture such beautiful memories during your wedding. She even stood out in the pouring rain for us in order to get the best pictures. She makes you feel comfortable in front of the camera and knows how to get pictures done quickly without compromising quality. Don’t hesitate to hire her for any big events where you want beautiful pictures and memories!!

Val was amazing to work with and the pictures turned out beautiful! She felt apart of the bridal party and even shared sneak peaks within 24 hours of the wedding. She was great at keeping to the schedule and making sure no pictures/poses were forgotten!

Val did an amazing job taking my proposal photos! She scoped out the location in advance with my fiance to find a good spot where she could hide, and we could have a nice background for the proposal photos. It was a cloudy day so there wasnt a lot of light to work with, and the photos still turned out amazing. I had also had a ring hidden with the plan to propose back to my fiance, and she was quick to capture those as well. She is very friendly and outgoing and would be able to get anyone out of their shell!
