We had such a great experience working with Valerie for our wedding photos! She was kind, patient, and really knew what she was talking about. Her direction and ideas were superb and we couldn't be happier with how our photos turned out! Highly recommend Valerie Joy Photography.

Valerie did the photos for our engagement and our wedding within the last 12 months. From the very beginning, she was so helpful (basically giving me a wedding day outline when I had no idea on time frames or order) and kind. She's lovely to work with and the pictures are amazing! We specifically asked for our pictures to be as candid as possible (we're not picture people, but if you can get us candid...they look more like us). And she totally delivered. Our favorite pictures are ones where you can tell we're genuinely having fun--and she captures that so well without being intrusive at all. If you like bright, joyful pictures, this is the photographer for you! Both times we got pictures from her, she got them to us incredibly fast (the engagement picture gallery came about 2 days later, the wedding album in 2.5 weeks). We are so so so happy with her work!

Valerie was absolutely amazing to work with from first contact all the way through the day of our wedding. she took both our engagement and wedding photos. She knew exactly how to take photos that were perfect for us. She was direct and kind. She was unintrusive during our wedding, yet still got tons of family and bridal party photos. She provided us with "blogged photos" 2 days after our wedding. To put this is prospective, we got married on a Friday evening and she had 2 other weddings she photographed that weekend. On top of that, Valerie got us the full gallery within a week. We will absolutely continue using Valerie as our family grows. I recommend her to everyone that wants clean, bright, and timeless photos as well as a great experience.

We worked with Valerie for our engagement pictures in Fall of 2019 and couldn't be happier! We highly recommend her services. Valerie made planning our engagement shoot a breeze. We had a few unexpected changes in location due to our planned locations being temporarily closed, but you would never know from looking at our pictures. They turned out beautifully! Valerie was very professional and easy to work with. She has a fabulous eye for lighting. We would recommend her services to anyone!

Val is amazing. She has now taken our engagement, wedding and maternity photos! We LOVE them all. She is so easy to work with and has an eye for good photos. She tells us what to do (which I love) and we can trust that what she's capturing is going to be great. Highly recommend!

We highly recommend Valerie Joy. She’s very professional and her photos are amazing. We had an extended family photo session that included 6 kids, 5 of which are under 5 years old. Valerie was very patient and understanding and was able to catch such sweet moments with our kids. Thanks again for our family photos!! 💕
