10/10! Cannot recommend VJBurgos photography enough! Valerie and her team were so wonderful to work with and made taking our photos and videos so much fun on our wedding day. We got back a preview and the photos are incredible, such beautiful work. They really listened to what we wanted and were so kind about it. They told our wedding story and I can't thank them enough. :)
Valerie is such great photographer! She makes you feel great and important during your session. Knows what she is doing in guiding for poses ! And most of all the pictures come out beautifully!
Valerie and her team were just amazing!!!! From our engagement pictures to our wedding day, everything just amazing! I loved working with her since day one. I am so so so glad I found her. If I could give her and her team a 20 star review I would definitely give it. Very professional, very polite and helpful. Most importantly very joyful and enthusiastic. All my stress the day of my wedding went away once we began doing pictures. My family and friends loved loved Valerie and her team. I am definitely booking her again if I ever have to do another event.
Valerie did such an incredible job with our wedding pictures and was so great to work with. She was so friendly and relaxed all day and really made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. We just got the pictures back and I am so impressed with the result, they're beautiful! Thank you Valerie!
Valerie is a wonderful person and talented photographer. We hired her for our engagement photo shoot and wedding photos. My husband and I are terrible at taking pictures so we were nervous about the engagement session but Valerie was so good and giving us direction and capturing us in our best light! Her communication was always great; before and during the wedding. Even though I continued to freak out on the day of she was such a wonderful calming presence that I cannot thank her enough. Our friends, family, and wedding guests also found her to be a wonderful presence. I cannot thank her enough for capturing such wonderful moments with our friends and family on our special day. I would recommend Valerie in a heartbeat to anyone who needs a wedding photographer!

Both my wife and I are so grateful that we chose Valerie and her team to photograph and video our special day. In addition to being a talented photographer, Valerie had the perfect personality on the day of, keeping us and our families nice and calm (its hard to take great photos when stressed!) and yet moved things along in an efficient manner. She was delightful to work prior to the wedding day, and was a thorough planner, making sure that all photos we had envisioned would happen on the day of. We are so happy to have worked with her, and will cherish our beautiful photos for the rest of our lives!
We met Valerie at a LGBT Wedding Expo and knew instantly that she was the one to photograph our engagement shoot and wedding ceremony/reception. The photos just came back, and we're so grateful to have a collection of both beautifully composed portraits and candid shots of the special day. Not only do we get to relive the things we did that day, we also get to see all the things we missed. I love the photos of my partner and I, but also the shots Valerie and her assistant got of our guests. I couldn't be happier. If y'all are considering hiring her, I can't stress enough that she is SO worth it. Thank you so much, Valerie!
Valerie and her team were superstars. The vibe was contagious and energetic, the team was super creative in terms of photo concepts and positioning. There was great directive instructions as we did a few hours of photos for first look, getting ready, and family photos. They were able to capture all the wild aspects of our multicultural wedding. The editing is clean and also modern. Communication with Valerie was easy and seamless. I would love to use them for future occasions when it arises. VJBurgos Photography was one of our favorite vendors and they captured our day, the decor, and our guests beautifully.
5/5 experience working with VJBURGOSPHOTOGRAPHY. Valerie was kind, professional, and attentive from first contact all the way until we received our final photos. She was very responsive and answered every question throughout the entire processes. Our engagement photoshoot was so much fun because of her great energy and was able to guide us perfectly on how to pose. My favorite part is she took so many pictures of guest reactions during the wedding which is something I didn’t even think of, which i love to to look back on. My family also had many complaints for her. 100% would recommend.
Valerie and her team are amazing!!! They were professional, kind and HILARIOUS…they made us feel at ease throughout the nerve proving moments of our event. Now we have our pictures and LOVE them!!! Can’t wait to see our video…can’t thank you guys enough!!!
I cannot say enough good things about Val and her team. She is incredibly talented and is so much more than just a wedding photographer. She was like a good comforting friend on our day. The photos we got back are absolutely stunning! She not only made my husband and I look great in our photos, but all of our family and friends too. She captured all of the special, little moments that I wouldn't have remember! She also is so funny and charming! EVERYONE at my wedding commented how amazing she and her staff were! She is passionate and really goes above and beyond for her couples. BOOK HER!!
Valerie is extremely talented and wonderful to be around. She takes her time to get to know you & directs you in a way so that the poses don't look forced. The photoshoot flows so effortlessly, you don't notice how the time goes by & how much she actually captures. Valerie's professionalism is well worth the money & the wait for her to get you the final results. You can't rush greatness! Thank you again so much!!! 20/10 Recommend!⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
We wouldn’t have had it any other way!
Selecting a photographer and videographer was an incredibly intimidating piece of the planning process. We had several other consultations before meeting Val; the world was saving the best for last!
As a same sex couple, it was of most importance that the team we assembled was inclusive and experienced with LGBTQ+ weddings. We first met Val at a wedding expo and that’s where we fell in love! Her energy and easy-going demeaner made you feel comfortable from the get-go. Her focus was not on selling you a big expansive package but instead listening to your vision and creating something custom for our special day. Val crafted a photo/video package that fit our needs and budget perfectly!
Part of the package was an engagement session; this was an incredibly valuable opportunity to build our relationship and get to know her style. She made us feel so relaxed and at ease; it felt like we were shotting with an old friend! The shots were stunning and of exceptional quality, but most importantly, she captured US!
On our wedding day, Val and her team arrived on time and with a plan! They worked flawlessly with each other and the other vendors, keeping the us right on schedule yet never feeling rushed. Our nerves were through the roof, but Val and team constantly found ways make us laugh and loosen up. They were there to do their job but seemed genuinely happy to be part of our celebration, we felt that 100%! I am so grateful to have selected Val and her team; they shot beautiful, posed portraits but also captured all the life in candid moments. Weddings go by oh so fast, but we are glad we get to relive every memory through Val’s artistry! We are forever grateful!
VJBurgosPhotography did an outstanding job for my wedding. The attention to detail was superb. Valerie was very pleasant to work with , she pays attention to customer needs. Valerie was very professional and took photography very seriously and with pride righteously so. I wouldn't hesitate to give them a try!!!!
Valerie is an artist. Her photography is spectacular. My wedding photos came out unbelievable. Valerie was prepared, knew exactly what we needed. Her knowledge of space and angles will really make your pictures stand out. She makes you feel at ease during your big day which is key during the most neve racking times.
Absolutely will recommend and use her services for anything else i need in the future.
We are so fortunate to have had Valerie as our wedding photographer. From the outset, they answered all our questions and the hiring process was seamless and organized. Valerie's good energy and calm but professional demeanor made for a very comfortable photo session during the wedding itself, and the pictures turned out incredible! Our guests also raved about how awesome the photographer was--we can't wait to share the memories Valerie captured with our family and friends and highly recommend them to others!
From our initial consultation we knew Valerie was the one. We did our engagement shoot which was amazing. During the engagement shoot she made 2 people who typically feel unphotogenic feel comfortable and look amazing in all the photos. Coming up to the wedding, she worked closely with our day of coordinator and us to ensure we got everything we wanted.On our wedding day Valerie was early and ready for business. Setting up shots and working with us and our family to not just get some amazing photos but to keep us on schedule. When we got our wedding gallery back we were stunned by how amazing they were. Valerie's professionalism and care is unmatched. Can't thank her enough.
Look no further, Val is absolutely AMAZING! She took our engagement and wedding photos and we couldn’t be happier with how they turned out! Val’s passion for photography shines through and she is the best to work with. We will 100% be using her again!
There are two reasons why I will always recommend Valerie to people. 1. Her photos are amazing but 2. There’s something about her energy. There’s people in the world that make you feel at peace just by being in their presence. Valerie is one of them. Which helps out when you’re a bride that’s stressed on her wedding day and nearing a breakdown. Valerie dove right in and kept reassuring me every step of the way. Not to mention, my venue was very pushy in trying to get us out the way. Valerie holds her ground to get her shots. Knowing you have someone in your corner is so important to me. I look at my wedding photos and feel beautiful, I feel the love and I see happiness and Valerie captured all of it. Valerie I don’t think you know how much I appreciate you and the talent that you have. I am eternally grateful for having met you that day at the wedding expo.
My husband and I are SO happy that we chose Valerie as our wedding photographer! Our engagement and wedding photos came out better than we ever could have imagined. She made us laugh and eased our nerves on our special day, while capturing so many beautiful and flattering images of us and all of our guests. She got so many small details of our wedding too, she set us up in great poses, and caught a ton of candid shots as well. I can't say enough good things about Valerie and her services. I highly recommend hiring her!
I can't think of anyone better to have done my photos. I found Valerie on a whim and from a list of maybe 5, her profile stood out to me the most and I fell in love with her work. I reached out to Valerie with an idea and hoping she was available. She made time in her free weekend to take my wedding photos. She was very receptive about our ideas for our engagement shoot and helped us take beautiful pictures at Coney Island. The whole process was forward and clear cut. Reaching out to her was easy and she would respond in a good time frame and that's not something I can say about my DJ unfortunately. She went above and beyond and what we have to show are beautiful memories that will last a lifetime and and we're just really grateful and speechless on how our pictures came out.
Small tip for future couples, make sure to make a list of questions and things you want and don't want so that way you have clear vision of you expect. Be creative and don't feel afraid to think of the box. Valerie will find a way to get it done!
I don’t even know where to begin. Val did such an incredible job with our wedding photos. She captured every moment perfectly! I’ve been dreaming about what my wedding photos would look like for years and I have to say we couldn’t be more ecstatic about how the photos came out. We would hire her again and again. If you’re looking for a super talented photographer with great energy, look no further. You can thank us later. :)
We are lucky to have had Valerie and her team do photography and videography for us at our wedding in April '22 in North Jersey. We found Valerie after looking through many photographers' work, and we were drawn to her style that captured elegance while still being fun and relaxed. After an initial consultation we were confident she'd do a great job for us.
Valerie is an absolute pro. We had a prep call a few weeks before the date and she took it from there. On the day she and her team (a 2nd shooter and videographer) were very well organized and professional. You spend a lot of time with your photographer on your wedding day, and she captured all the moments we wanted, plus more, and kept us on track without being overbearing or making us feel rushed or overwhelmed. I truly appreciate the calming, "WE got this!" presence she brought to the day, especially for me as a bride on a day where emotions can run wild.
If you're looking for a photographer who can take incredible photos but also has the confidence, warmth, and positive energy you need to navigate the craziness of a wedding, Valerie and her team are for you.
I cannot say enough positive things about Valerie and her team. We truly had a 5 star experience with them and highly recommend to anyone looking for a professional and amazing photography company. We received emails and phone calls back in a timely manner, She was prompt and diligent the day of our wedding. Our bridal party and parents felt they were fun to work with and made everyone feel comfortable. She was extremely organized and the absolute best part is we received a sneak peek of pictures back in only 3 days!! Valerie even trekked out in the storm to create the most amazing shot of me and my husband under an umbrella in the rain. Valerie and her team helped make our day so easy, stress-free and of course special. I cannot thank her enough for the beautiful pictures and hard work! I will recommend Valerie to every single bride and groom or anybody needing professional photos in the future!
Valerie is absolutely amazing and so talented! Not only are her photos incredibly beautiful, she is also so personable and professional. She has such great energy and makes you feel so comfortable in front of the camera! Valerie is always very responsive and just such a wonderful person to work with. I would recommend her over and over again!
We had the pleasure of having Valerie as our photographer for our wedding. She has an amazing eye for detail and went above and beyond to service all of our needs/wants. She had so much patience with our 2yo and made him feel comfortable. She made us all feel comfortable and really made us feel like family. Valerie is extremely professional and punctual. Her services exceeded our expectations! She provided us with so many amazing high quality images, which we will cherish for the rest of our lives. She deserves more than a 5 star rating. If you’re looking for a wedding photographer, she is the one! We would highly recommend Valerie for any event- you won’t regret it!!
Valerie was beyond amazing. She captured every moment so beautifully. She was so patient and kind, we would not hesitate to book her in the near future for our special moments. Thank you so much for capturing our wedding Valerie! ❤️
We are so glad we had VJBurgosphotography to capture our wedding details and entire event. Valerie is very friendly, accommodating and very professional. Service and experience with this vendor were excellent. Still a 4 years later we have family and friends compliment our beautiful wedding photos. BJBurgosphotography made our pics look like we are models on a wedding magazine. Couldn’t ask for a better photographer.
Definitely recommend.
It was great working with Valerie! She accompanied us through all the process of the wedding! Definitely made it more special with all the pictures and memories I’ll have for the rest of our life! I can not thank her enough, definitely our go to photographer
I wish I could give more than 5 stars. Having Valerie as our wedding photographer was the best decision!! She was able to capture all of the memorable moments and amazing candids that makes it feel as though you are living in that moment all over again when looking back at your photos. She is so professional, patient, friendly and just awesome!!! The quality of the photos are top of the line and couldn’t ask for better. Communication with her is a breeze and she always responded in a timely fashion and answered all of our questions. She treated us like family. Without any hesitation she would be my recommendation for all wedding photography needs. You will not be disappointed!!!
We loved loved loved Valerie! We we're stressed out about our reception and whether we were doing things in the right order. Valerie willingly stepped in and helped us figure out whats the best approach. She never once made us feel rushed or uncomfortable. Matter of fact she actually really helped us forget about everything that was planned and be able to enjoy the moment. She was a perfect mix of fun and easy going while still producing the premium product. We were completely awestruck when we got our photos back. She captured the emotion and the elegancy of our wedding. I would highly recommend Valerie to and other couple out there. If you know exactly what you want for your wedding day she is the one to have. If you don't know or can't quite figure out whats the best approach. She is the one to have, she has an ability to hear an idea your trying to round out and take that and make it into something so much better! By far the best photographer me and my wife have ever worked with!
Spectacular photography! We got extremely high quality pictures capturing every moment, nothing was missed. She thought of things we didn’t. The composition of the pictures was perfect. I can’t say enough good things about them. YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED
I can not say enough great things about Valerie! She is responsive, professional, talented and has a great eye. She makes you feel comfortable and relax. Listens to what you want and adds her own input for a touch of uniqueness. Her overall services from the beginning till the end are outstanding!
