for Alyxandrea & Patrick,
Alyxandrea & Patrick,
It was such a joy connecting with you during our consultation. I’m truly honored by the possibility of walking alongside you in this beautiful chapter of your lives, and I love that Inspire Moore Winery will be the breathtaking setting for your wedding day. The Finger Lakes hold such a special place in your hearts, and it’s so meaningful that you’ll be celebrating your love surrounded by the natural beauty, wine, and music that bring you joy.
Hearing your story—eight years of love, a magical engagement in Arizona, and the home you’ve built together—felt like witnessing something truly special. The way you’ve woven family into your lives, especially with Nadia playing such a meaningful role in your day, speaks volumes about the depth of your connection and the warmth of the celebration ahead.
Your vision for your wedding is so beautifully intentional—a gathering filled with love, laughter, and the presence of those who mean the most to you. I love that you want your photos to feel like a portal back to the emotions and fleeting moments that will make your day unforgettable. From the candid interactions with your guests to the golden hour portraits, I’ll be there to hold space for the quiet glances, joyful embraces, and everything in between.
It means so much that my approach resonates with you, and I’m committed to creating an experience that feels calm, intentional, and deeply personal every step of the way. Your trust in me to preserve these memories is something I hold with great care, and it would be an absolute honor to document this incredible season of your lives.
With warmth and gratitude,
Valerie Marie
YOUR WEDDING IMAGES WILL FEEL
"Valerie was a total dream to work with."
Valerie was a total dream to work with. From the very first meeting with her, she was so organized, proactive, and kind. She has such a gentle spirit, my fiance and I knew she would be the perfect addition to our wedding day team. Throughout the entire planning process, she was so on top of things- communicative, adaptable, and patient. The day of the wedding, I was soooo nervous about running behind, but Valerie and Emilia were such sweethearts and reassured me that it was NORMAL for the day to be chaotic. My fiance and I leaned into the chaos and embraced it all. Our final pictures were to die for! The perfect balance of creative/artsy shots, and the classic wedding pictures everyone dreams of having. Could not recommend Valerie enough.

"Valerie is the best photographer we could have ever asked for all of our life events."
Valerie is the best photographer we could have ever asked for all of our life events. I met her through a mutual friend that used her as a wedding photographer and have never gone back. The amount of love, detail, intention and creativity that comes from her is beyond words. I have used her for engagement, boudoir and my wedding photography and i will forever want to see my life through her eyes & creativity. She only surrounds herself with people that make every moment so special, and shares all her values and for that i will forever trust her with capturing all the special moments in my life. Trusting Val with documentation of your special moments will forever make them that much more special, and cherished. She truly cares about making everyone's experiences their own and goes to beyond measures to make sure you feel comfortable, and checks in frequently to make sure you have no reservations. Do yourself a favor and book this amazing human & her team you will 100% not regret it, we love you so much Val !

At the same time, digital photography allows me the flexibility to capture moments with precision and versatility, ensuring nothing is missed. The two mediums complement each other beautifully, creating a unique blend of artistry and reliability.
By weaving film and digital together, I can offer you a gallery that feels both cinematic and intentional—one that captures the essence of your story with care and creativity. My process is rooted in presence and connection, and choosing between film or digital for a particular moment is part of how I honor that.
The real result
engagement experience
From brainstorming location ideas to curating moodboards and outfits, I’ll be by your side, ensuring every detail reflects not just the vision for your shoot, but the essence of the life you're living right now. This isn’t just a session; it’s a chance to reflect, savor the moment, and dream together about the future.
In the end, you’ll have photos that tell the story of your love—authentic, intimate, and real, capturing the genuine beauty of your everyday moments.
