MY WHY & VISION
I am more than a photographer. I am an artist, a storyteller, and a devoted witness to the beauty of human connection.
Each image I create is a study in emotion and atmosphere, a time capsule meant to preserve the feeling of a moment long after it has passed.
When we begin this journey together, it becomes about more than imagery. It is about trust, presence, and the art of slowing down to see what is real. I believe in connection that runs deep and in documenting love in its most cinematic and unguarded form. Together, we create something enduring, a visual legacy that feels as honest as it is artful.
This is an invitation to step into the experience fully, to be seen, and to allow your story to unfold with intention, beauty, and soul.
INQUIRE WEDDING
INQUIRE LIFESTYLE
There is something timeless about the way film captures light and emotion. It invites stillness, drawing out beauty in its most authentic form. Every frame is intentional, every moment preserved with a softness that feels alive and real.
Incorporating film into your wedding adds a layer of artistry and nostalgia, blending texture, tone, and warmth into imagery that becomes a tangible memory. For those drawn to its quiet romance, film is an heirloom—a reflection of beauty that endures.
I offer film as an addition to my digital coverage, weaving both mediums together to tell your story in a way that feels cinematic and deeply personal. If you’re drawn to the romance of film, let’s create something beautifully timeless together.
a touch of nostalgia
When your day arrives, I capture the emotion and atmosphere as it naturally unfolds. Each image becomes an heirloom, a cinematic reflection of your love and legacy.
Our journey starts with a conversation. I take time to listen and understand your vision, story, and dreams for the day so every detail feels intentional and true to you.
Together, we design an experience that feels effortless and deeply personal. My goal is to create space for presence while I quietly document the beauty that unfolds.
BOOK YOUR DAY!

Do yourself a favor and book Valerie and her team—you won’t regret it! Valerie is the best photographer we've ever worked with for our life's events. Her love, detail, intention, and creativity are truly exceptional. I've had the pleasure of working with her for engagement, boudoir, and wedding photography, and I wouldn't want to see my life through anyone else's lens. Trusting her to capture our special moments has made them even more cherished. She goes above and beyond to ensure everyone feels comfortable and cared for. We love you, Val!
CHARLENE
Val was a dream! She made our simple ceremony feel grand! She was such a calming presence and felt like a long time friend. Our photos are spectacular and she has an amazing eye for capturing sincere and authentic moments, our photos did not feel forced at all (my husband is very photo shy). I would highly recommend her, we will cherish these photos forever.

I can not express enough how much of an amazing photographer and human being Valerie is. Everybody knows how stressful wedding planning can be and she knows just the right words to calm you and help! Having somebody like her there with me on the big day helped with my nerves like I couldnt believe. She is the perfect wedding photographer and she captured every single thing that I wanted and more, and now I will be able to look the photos for the rest of my life and relive my wedding day. Thank you so so much Valerie!!!
