I see you landed on my website.

Coincidence? I think NOT! Welcome!

My name is Valerie, and I'm a photographer and travel addict. Being able to do my favorite things – photography and active travel – is what I love most about my work. I'm constantly seeking out new picturesque locations, fun activities, and creative vendors for my couples because I enjoy this part of my job just as much as taking pictures.

Thank you for checking out my work

It warms my heart knowing that somebody might share a similar vision for the beauty that is truly all around us! :)

I started my journey as a travel photographer visiting over 40 countries and capturing the most hidden and breathtaking gems of our wonderful home planet.

Only after my friends asked me to shoot their elopement did I realize that the one thing always missing from my work was a storytelling aspect of a true connection and genuine human emotions.

I believe true happiness comes from simple and little things like brushing each other's hair while watching "Chocolate" or driving a dusty road with your hubby for hours with no agenda or a destination in mind (comes from experience ).

Please fill out the contact form if any of this resonates with you. I would love to help you capture your love story the way you want to see and remember it for the years to come.
