Valerie Michelle Photography

ng! I will be using Valerie for all of our big moments from here on out. I cannot recommend her enough!

nd Valerie for any photos you may need. She was fun, easy going, and ready to work on her toes if need be because of rain. We look forward to working with her in the future for all our family photos.

oughout the process!

money can buy! We lucked into finding Valerie through an online contest and after reviewing her work, we knew our choice was made....and for half the price of some other potential options! Throughout the entire process Valerie was extremely responsive, educated us on all that we needed to know, and most importantly delivered breath-taking photos from both our engagement shoot and the actual wedding day. I could not recommend Valerie more highly! I will refer all of my friends and family to her for weddings, baby photo shoots and any other event that calls for a professional photographer. We knew that the photos from our wedding night would be a lasting memory and Valerie captured everything perfectly. No matter what scale you use to measure the performance and value, Valerie exceeds the top score!

day, we couldn't have asked for better. She was also super quick to get us back both highlight shots and our entire wedding album! I honestly can't say I have a favorite photo from wedding day because they were all so perfect. Im so happy Valerie captured everything so beautifully so we can look back on the photos for years to come :)

and so wonderfully talented. My husband and I were blown away by our engagement photos, and I didn't think it was possible but I am even more blown away by our wedding photo sneak peeks! Valerie was a blessing to work with throughout the entire planning process. From helping us reschedule our engagement photos due to a winter windy weather advisory, to being so patient and understanding throughout planning during a pandemic, and being the absolute best on the big day! I can't say enough nice things about her and her work. I highly recommend her to everybody!

very shot that we wanted and her creativity and flexibility really shone on our big day. Her knowledge of the Sykesville/Westminster/Annapolis area was so appreciated as she knew exactly where to get some amazing and scenic photos. Both our engagement pictures and our wedding photos turned out amazing and everyone has loved the quality of the pictures. We would recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing and local photographer!

of the wedding. She made the whole process effortless for everyone in the bridal party because she is so easy to get along with. Highly recommend!

g with her. After seeing her work, it wasn’t even a question that we wanted her for our big day. We choose her biggest package (longest hours of service and two photographers) and it was perfect. We had about 150 guests, we did a first look, family portraits and obviously bridal party portraits. The quality and service she provides far surpasses her package costs. She was super helpful, responsive, passionate and kind throughout the entire process. Valerie goes above and beyond the roles of a photographer on the wedding day. She coordinated with my venue and DJ to ensure we were on track in line with the timeline. She even helped me get ready! Having Valerie around, pretty much the entire day, felt like having a friend around with a camera. I don’t know how she did it, but she captured every moment perfectly. My family and I cannot stop gushing over the pictures! We got our online gallery to the pictures quickly and they are super easy to download. She is the best! My husband and I plan on booking with Valerie many times in the future!

r. Our pictures turned out AMAZING!!!!! We weren’t expecting the pictures to come as quickly as they did. We will only be using her for our future events!

bridal party, first look, family, and couple pictures. During our wedding, Valerie kept everyone on track so we could fit all of the pictures we wanted in the time we had with her. She made us feel so comfortable and caught the best shots of us as a married couple (and with our dog)! She also got some awesome candids during the reception. We received a preview gallery from Valerie not even 2 days after the wedding and then the whole gallery a month later! Valerie is reasonably priced, very responsive, and her work is amazing! We highly recommend!!

are stunning! I am so obsessed with every single one! She was such anoleasureto work with and picked all the best places to take pictures at our venue. We look forward to using her for future photo opportunities as well!

UNNING. She knew which positions and lighting would be best and I am glad I trusted her as there isn't a single photo from that day that I don't love. HIGHLY recommend.

agement session and throughout our wedding day. She made my husband and I very comfortable as she took pictures and also kept everything organized and flowing so that we stayed on schedule. Valerie was easy to get in touch with and quick to respond to any questions I had throughout the process. She went above and beyond on our wedding day to help when she could, including helping some of our groomsman with their bootinears. My family and bridal party were all complimenting her as well. I felt like I had made a friend throughout our wedding planning process. I can’t say enough good things about her and would recommend her for any photography needs!

band and me feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera. My photos turned out perfectly and I’ve received so many compliments from friends and even friends of friends asking who did my wedding photos because they’re so good. Valerie took the time to make sure we got every photo we wanted and also took the best candids throughout the day. She responds quickly to texts/ emails and kept me in the loop about everything I needed to know. You can’t go wrong if you choose her for all your photography needs!

o my emails, calls and texts from the moment we booked her until delivery of our gallery. An engagement session is included in the package we chose and she made us feel so comfortable. Valerie was great at directing poses. On our wedding day, Valerie made sure everything ran smoothly. She kept us on schedule and captured moments that we will treasure for a lifetime. We highly recommend Valerie and will be using her as a photographer in the future.

iful. A true professional.

ecision I made throughout the entire planning process! I knew as soon as I met her that she was the perfect photographer for us. Her passion for photography was obvious and she has an amazing personality to go with it. Valerie made everything so comfortable, natural, and FUN! She was always quick to respond to my emails/texts, which I really appreciated. My husband and I had the best time at our engagement shoot and while taking our wedding day photos. Every single picture turned out STUNNING, I actually cried happy tears when she sent me our album! I was also so impressed with how professional and organized she was throughout the wedding day. We didn’t hire a day-of planner, so I was a little nervous about how the day would go. Thanks to Valerie, we stuck to our timeline and everything went so smoothly. She really is all around the absolute best!! I could go on and on about how amazing Valerie is! Her passion, personality, and talent cannot be surpassed!! I highly recommend her to any and every bride-to-be!

ot engaged! Valerie shot my friends wedding in June of 2017, and not only were the photos drop-dead gorgeous, but she was so easy to work with, and incredibly considerate of the bride and groom, as well as their guests! She's creative and goes out of her way to ensure that the experience she provides is customized for that specific couple. I will without a doubt be booking her for mini's whether it be for our anniversary, new born pictures or any other special occasion! If you've found or been referred to Valerie Michelle Photography, there is no need to look any further. :) BTW - One question I'm sure every brides asks... "When will we have all of our photos??"! Valerie was sure to be realistic in her busy season of October that it may take 4-6 weeks, which was much sooner than I was expecting based on what I'd heard from other brides. I had access to all of my photos in LESS THAN 3 WEEKS! My husband and I still can't stop looking through them over and over, and we find a new gem every time we do that we'll cherish forever and ever.

a timely manner during peak wedding season! She really takes photography seriously and does an amazing job. You can’t go wrong with Valerie Michelle Photography!

absolutely perfect. And she’s was very quick to respond to any questions we had or ideas! She was also able to get all of our photos to us in a very quick time frame! We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect photographer on our special day! Thank you SO much Valerie Michelle Photography!!
