Valerie is absolutely incredible. The first time we met over zoom, her calming energy made us immediately know that we needed to have her capturing our wedding day. She was so helpful through every step of the process, and you could tell that she genuinely cared about us and that everything was as easy and enjoyable as possible. Our pictures are amazing. She so perfectly captured how fun our day was in every shot. I cannot recommend her enough!!
Hiring Valerie for our wedding day was the best decision we made! Val was by far our favorite vendor from our first phone call with her to well after our wedding day had passed. She is such a caring, calming, and wonderful person who is passionate about her art and SO talented. Her communication was fantastic and our wedding photos are truly stunning! She was so thoughtful about what our priorities were and so attentive on our wedding day to capture all of the meaningful moments with our friends and family. We knew we were in such good hands with Val and I couldn’t imagine not having her with us throughout planning process and on our wedding day. We even had the unexpected surprise of receiving our wedding photos during our honeymoon along with a heartfelt blog written about our special day! I think what really sets her apart from other photographers is how she goes the extra mile for her clients and how intentional she is to ensure you have the best experience. She made everything flow so seamlessly and we’re already looking forward to the next time we get to work with her!
Val was recommended to us by a close friend so we were really hopeful in our decision when reaching out to her. Val exceeded our expectations right from the beginning! Val took the time to really learn about our styles through questionnaires, zoom chats, and in-person for our engagement shoot. We feel so incredibly lucky to know Val and experience her talent of capturing life’s biggest moments. Our wedding photos are absolutely stunning, thanks to Val and her presence! We look forward to seeing Val for future family memories! 🥰
Val is the most encouraging, calming, and positive presence you could ask for on your wedding day—and the days leading up to the wedding. She provided me with a timeline for the day as a starting point, shared tips that she's learned, studied my Pinterest board, and was always responsive when I reached out with questions.
As far as her photography and editing skills…INCREDIBLE. A few things that people said after seeing our wedding photos include, "Magazine quality", "Your photographers killed it!", "She was so sweet and remembered so many of our names - I was impressed!", "She friggin KILLED IT holy crap", and "These are seriously incredible!" I couldn't agree more with all of these statements. Val is so talented and I would recommend her to everyone (and I'm picky, so that means something).
Val went above and beyond. She made us feel so comfortable and was the perfect, calming energy I needed that day. She was so professional, taking charge so we stayed on schedule. Her photos are STUNNING!
I am never using another photographer again after working with Val. She is the absolute best of the best!!! She made my husband and I feel so comfortable and was so helpful during our wedding planning process. We now consider her a friend for life and I just love her so much!!!! She has the most positive energy and kept me sane during my wedding day. I don’t know what I would’ve done without her!! The pictures she takes are absolutely beautiful. She is so amazing at what she does, book with her you will never be disappointed💗
Val has been my Photographer throughout my whole relationship, it started out as simple couple pictures and has continued into pictures of our son. When it came to picking a photographer for our wedding we knew exactly who we wanted and that was Val. She does amazing work and makes you feel so beautiful and special. She made sure that we got all the pictures we wanted at our wedding. One thing I found amazing about her compared to other photographers is after the ceremony she doesn't just push right into pictures with the bridal party or family, she gave us as a new married couple 10-15 minutes to soak in being married. while she sat back and took pictures of us just enjoying each other. This made our Pictures extra special to us. I would recommend her over and over, a million times.
Valerie is simply THE BEST!!! Not only did she capture our day beautifully, she makes you feel so comfortable and is incredibly fun to work with. We can’t say enough positive things about our experience working with Valerie!
