California Wedding Photography
Cheers to choosing the love of your life!
Your wedding is more than a celebration. It is a part of your legacy. Long after your wedding dress is carefully tucked away, your cake is eaten, your flowers have wilted, your last song played, what remains are your photographs. They hold the story of the faces you haven't seen in years, the laughs and tears of loved ones, the way your partner's eyes lit up as you walked down the aisle, and the dance moves you didn't know your grandparents had. These photographs will become part of your family’s story, treasures your children and grandchildren will hold close one day. It would be my greatest honor to capture those fleeting, beautiful moments for you—so your legacy of love lives on for generations.

“You can see the cinematic quality in some of her shots carrying through from her videography background.”
Val is dependable, organized, and easy to work with. She is particularly great with natural light photography. You can see the cinematic quality in some of her shots carrying through from her videography background. I highly recommend working with her!
STACEY
“She captured our day so beautifully with close-ups, candids, details of our flowers and venue.”
Val was absolutely wonderful to work with. I swear I thought I would never forget anything about that day, and while all the feelings remain strong, I know some memories have begun to fade, which makes these photos even more special.
SHANNON
“She got us our pictures back less than two months after our wedding and put together gorgeous albums.”
We are so glad we hired Val to be our wedding photographer! She has a great eye and our pictures came out beautifully. We couldn't be happier with them! She is also extremely professional and reliable. We definitely recommend working with her.

“She had a whole timeline prepared for us and made sure all our preferences and concerns were heard.”
We chose Valarie for our city hall wedding photography and she did an absolutely fantastic job! From the get go - she was very quick to respond to our emails, she took the time to understand what we wanted, and created a clear proposal accordingly. She also sent us the sneak peeks and the pictures right on time as she promised. We cannot recommend her enough!
Robert
“I have to say that Valarie did wonders for my girlfriend and I during our photography session.”
She helped out on finding good positions to shoot in and was adjusting on the fly. I felt very comfortable from the beginning with my experience on the beach and all the photos came out professionally finished.

Let's work together, yeah yeah yeah!
Are you excited to share the vision of your sun-kissed wedding day? I adore meeting new people, and I would be thrilled to capture the spirit of who you are together as a couple.
