A little bit about me….
Hey! I’m Val and I bring my photojournalistic skills to every wedding I shoot. Armed with a camera, some tomfoolery and a knack for capturing those candid moments, I create timeless memories for couples. Not only do I expertly organize timelines and formal shot lists, but I also possess a superpower: the ability to keep even the most camera-shy couples relaxed and natural in front of my lens. With me behind the camera, laughter is guaranteed. Let’s create some amazing memories on your special day!
What my past clients have to say about me…..
“One of the things we loved about working with Val was her focused energy. Val knew that there were great shots to be had, but to get them, we’d have to climb down to the rocks right up to the waters edge. In a tux and a big heavy wedding dress and red sparkly heels. It wasn’t easy but Val helped encouraged us to make it happen and the resulting shots are fantastic. Another thing we loved about Val was the she and her assistant were totally unobtrusive. They were there and got every shot but, it never felt like we were being followed around by a camera. Also, Val never pushed the poses on us so it all felt really natural and easy. Val was professional, responsive and accessible throughout the process. Most important though, her work, out photos are gorgeous. She captured the happiness and meaning of our day and we can’t recommend her more strongly. Thank you Val!” -Alison
“Val is an awesome photographer. Down to earth and knows her craft. She was a blast to work with and made me and my husband look amazing even when we're usually awkward whenever a camera is near. Would highly recommend Val, she captured our special day perfectly and we can't thank her enough!” -Sarah
“VAL IS AMAZING! She was by far the most organized and structured vendor we used AND met with - which says a lot because we talked to A LOT of vendors. She was on top of her outreach, had spreadsheets and other forms, and provided ongoing communication with us on timeline and expectations.
Our engagement photos were amazing - this woman has no problem lugging 2 cameras and a ladder up a mountain to get sunset pics, or trudging through a swamping marsh to get just the right shot of you in your dress - she does it ALL. She is thoughtful, helpful, and facilitates areas of your wedding even if it has nothing to do with photography but will ensure your day is perfect.
Our photos were so romantic and moody (exactly the vibe we wanted) and we are so happy with the photos. She even accommodated pictures of us with our dog which was so sweet! I would absolutely recommend Val to a friend and would 1000% use her again!” -Lindsey
