My philosophy

Lasting memories through authentic

moments

+ unfiltered love

My philosophy centers on capturing genuine moments that reflect the true essence of your relationship. I believe that authenticity is what makes memories last — the laughter, the tears, the fleeting glances, and all the small, beautiful moments that truly define your day.


I aim to tell your story as it unfolds — unfiltered, real, and full of emotion. From the nervous excitement of getting ready to the heartfelt vows, every moment deserves to be remembered for the beautiful truth it holds. My approach ensures that your wedding memories are more than just pictures — they’re a reflection of the love and connection you share, captured in its most pure and intimate form.

Photography:

the art of story telling


Photography is more than just capturing moments — it’s about telling a story. Through every shot, I weave together the emotions, details, and essence of your special day, creating a visual narrative that reflects who you are. Each photo is a chapter, each frame a memory, preserving your unique story for years to come.

Testimonials

Val captured the moments of our wedding beautifully. She was a pleasure to work with from our initial meeting to the final delivery of photos. She was very personable, making us feel completely at ease throughout the entire day.  For two people who are not necessarily comfortable in front of the camera, she gave great direction and made us feel confident. Everyone in my wedding party raved about how efficient Val was. She made the experience fun and made everyone feel comfortable. We highly recommend Val to anyone seeking a talented photographer who will beautifully document their most cherished moments!

Val did a fantastic job at our wedding. She was adaptable with changing plans and weather conditions, was efficient and professional in making sure all family photos were done in a timely manner, and she captured some really great shots. We did both our engagement photos and wedding photos with Val and were really happy with her work on both. On our wedding day my wife and I were running around in a daze. Val was very cool, calm, collected, and got all the photos we needed done. We appreciate her!

Testimonials

Val is a phenomenal photographer! This was my second time booking her and of course, she didn’t disappoint. I appreciated her ability to take action and quickly pivot when things don’t go as initially planned. She’s also very assertive and attentive, so that definitely means the photos will come out beautifully. Val is so good at what she does and it shows in her service and quality of work. Whether it’s for wedding, graduation, or family photos, I highly recommend booking Val.
