“ABOVE AND BEYOND...
⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
Valentina cares about her craft and the couples she photographs. From the engagement pictures to the day of the wedding, she went above and beyond to ensure she captured moments that we will treasure forever. I wouldn't consider myself to be comfortable in front of a camera, but you wouldn't guess that looking through the pictures. She took the guess work out of posing and helped coach us into pictures that look great! Her services were certainly worth the investment and she was a joy to work with. I will definitely reach out to her for our photography needs in the future.

“WE HAD A BLAST WITH HER...
⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
Valentina was the most amazing photographer I have ever worked with. Her professional, bubbly, and warm personality made our entire wedding experience (about 2 years due to covid) such a fun one! As a covid bride, the added stress level was through the roof, but I never had to worry about Valentina and her capabilities over the course of planning and replanning our wedding. When we first met for our engagement session she was the best coach to teach us posing for the most optimal photos. But really, she is such a natural artist, and perfectly understands lighting. She has the keen eye for detail every bride hopes her photographer will have for the most stunning photos. A year and a half later, and Valentina DID NOT DISAPPOINT. We and all of our family and guests had A BLAST with her and her assistant photographing us at our wedding. She has a great energy; low stress, easy going, and captures every important moment. Weeks after our wedding I had emailed her asking when our photos would be ready. She even rushed the turnaround time so that I could have photos printed for my mom’s birthday. She is absolutely amazing to work with and we cannot wait to work with her for our future family portraits!

“so easy to work with...
⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
Valentina is amazing photographer, amazing! I cannot recommend her enough for everything she had done to make me feel relaxed on my wedding day and to make beautiful pictures that I still keep getting compliments on. It was quiet hard to find photographer completely online from overseas (I live in UK) and my husband lives in Washington, but we decided to marry in Dallas because his family is there. It was so challenging but after I found Valentina everything was easier because she gave me great advices and guidance. She went to venue to explain me how it looks in person, to suggest where to take photos, gave me advice about timing, she even was driving us around entire day for photoshooting and then she drove us for the party. She is so easy to work with. Valentina knows how to make couple of nerds feel relaxed and comfortable for photoshooting to get best pictures. She made such great pictures of everything. My bridal bouquet came very awful but Valentina told me don’t worry, I will save the day and take pictures from the angle that the bouquet looks good. In the photos, bouquet really looks beautiful since she knew all the good angles. As I said, I cannot thank her enough. I’m planning to do photo shooting again in Dallas in December for our anniversary. I cannot wait to work with her again. She made me feel like a model!"

Valentina is amazing, and we hired her to do our engagement photos. She spent 3 hours with us when the session was only scheduled for 2 hours, and did a fantastic job.

Valentina is the sweetest! She was absolutely amazing from the engagement photos to the day of the wedding. My husband doesn't love getting his picture taken and she was able to put him at ease and make it fun. I was also a COVID bride and Valentina was completely understanding and helpful throughout the rescheduling process - which was NOT the case with some of our other vendors. The pictures were beautiful and I am so happy we chose her!"

“the number one on must have list...
⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
When we first became engaged, we set our budget and listed our ‘must haves’ list. My fiancé and I did not see eye to eye on which vendors took priority. I felt photography was hands-down the number one on my must have list. The moment that we met with Valentina, we both knew she was the person that we were meant to hire for shooting our wedding. Planning a wedding can be one of the most stressful times of your life not to mention the uncertainty, date change after date change, restrictions, etc. that Covid has thrown our way. Valentina handled every obstacle, every element, every meltdown, every question I had without blinking an eye. She assured me time and time again that things would be fine and we would have our dream day. She was right. Her attention to detail, her professionalism, her calm demeanor thru all of the ups and downs we faced truly put her on a entirely different level. I don’t remember much from our wedding day, I'm kind of a fan of champagne 😊 I feel like I blinked and it was over, looking at the photos she captured are constant reminders that she was worth every dollar.

Valentina was absolutely wonderful! So incredibly helpful with helping us form our timeline, and very patient and understanding when we continued to change our wedding plans during the ever changing cycles of the covid pandemic! The day of our wedding felt like the hottest day to kick off the summer, and she was amazing with getting all shots we needed as practically and as quickly as possible. And the photos turned out so bright, clear, and natural! Thank you Valentina for not only capturing all our memories so beautifully, but also in being so helpful and adaptable throughout the whole wedding day!"

Valentina and her assistant are so professional and so talented! Valentina's vision for our vow renewal truly came alive and my husband and I are in love with all of the pictures! Last minute we had a change in our videographer and the person they sent was much more involved and wanted to direct us for his shots, Valentina handled everything with grace. I recommend Valentina 1000%!!!!! You will not regret it :)"

“she made it very easy to be comfortable and relax...
⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
I truly enjoyed working with Valentina! We wanted to take engagement photos she was very accommodating for us by finding a location outside that was easy to get to as well as beautiful during a time that gave the best lighting. She was extremely knowledgeable about photography and certain poses that would work well with my style and body type.
I especially loved how personable she is her personality made it very easy for my fiance and I to be comfortable and relax. She said we would have our proofs done in two weeks and we got them back right on time which was great since we were anxious to send out Save The Dates. We were with her for about two hours outside taking pictures in a number of areas and got back a ton of photos to chose from!
Personally I thought the proofs looked wonderful but, the next day I was able to pick up the actual photos... and was extremely satisfied with quality! Especially for the price, I wasn't expecting much but was blown away with what I received.
I'd love to work with Valentina again in the near future and I highly recommend her to others who are thinking about getting engagement photos. You won't be disappointed."
