We had the time of our lives! And we are beyond grateful Valerie was part of this very special moment. We fell in love with her vision, and the way she captures every candid moment effortlessly, not only that she is just the best. She is both very professional but keeps it fun while at it. Definitely would use her services again 🤍

Hi, I’m Vallerie, the photographer behind The Lucia House. I’ve been passionate about photography for more than 10 years, with additional training in photography and graphic design.
For me, wedding photography is about so much more than creating beautiful portraits. I want to document what the day actually felt like: the nervous excitement before the ceremony, the reactions you may not get to see yourself, the laughter with your favorite people, the quiet moments between the two of you, and all of the little things happening in between.
I love giving couples a balance of beautiful portraits and genuine, candid photographs. I’ll step in with direction when you need it, help keep portraits organized and comfortable, and then give you room to simply enjoy your wedding while I document it as it unfolds.
I’m based in New York and happily travel throughout the Northeast and beyond for weddings, elopements, and celebrations. Every couple and every wedding is different, and getting to preserve those stories is what I love most about what I do.

e everything feel comfortable and natural on the wedding day. Neither of us wanted our photos to feel overly posed, and she did a great job capturing the real moments between us and our families while still making sure we got all the important shots.
She was organized, patient, and blended into the day really well. We got so many candid photos that we didn’t even realize she was taking at the time, and those ended up being some of our favorites. The photos came out beautiful and really feel like us.
We would definitely recommend Vallerie to anyone looking for a wedding photographer who is reliable, personable, and genuinely cares about capturing the day well.
