Hello!
We're Val & JB
Get to know us some..
It’s the simple things that get us excited about life; morning cups of coffee and laughing with our daughters are top of the list. We believe that, at its core, love is a very simple thing. A wedding might come with its own styles, vibes and rollercoasters, but the love at the center remains beautifully straightforward.
Your story brought you all the way here – trust us, it’s worth reliving over and over again. Not just the grand moments, but the small ones too. The intimate, the simple, the in between…all the little things you might just forget but shouldn’t have to!
We combine our twin inspirations of fashion and art to ensure your day is captured artistically, honestly and emotionally. We love candid shots, but we’ll also come in with gentle direction when necessary to bring our signature nostalgic flair to each and every moment.
And we get it, we live in a modern world! But everything is going to be nostalgic someday, it’s just a matter of perspective…and it’s a perspective we happen to love
what inspires US
EVERY Wedding, WE see the WORLD through a Whole New Lens
Our world revolves around our two little women, Mariah & Sophia.
Mariah is our firstborn tender-hearted daughter. She’s ten years old, full of compassion and love for the world around her (and beyond!). Her love language comes in the form of expressing herself and emotional communication. She loves the great outdoors, drawing Pokemon and playing tricks on her Dad!
Sophia is our second little woman. She’s eight years old and already a witty character with a vast soul. She’s teaching us so much on a daily basis; patience, the importance of silliness, and how to laugh through it all. She adores colorful things, speaking her mind and following her heart when it comes to things she believes in.
Simply put, we love living the simple life! We find so much value in it and more than anything, we seek to create a life we’re passionate about. This passion comes through in our everyday routines, the pleasures of simplicity - homeschooling our daughters, setting out on random fishing trips and lazy beach days, cooking up a storm in the kitchen, enjoying nature as a family, serving at church and growing together with the people we love.
My Fav Things
DISNEY Movies STILL Make Me CRY
Here’s where you can delve further into your favourite things outside of wedding photography – everyone might be able to be a photographer, but there’s little quirks that make you unique – chat about that.
Maybe you can talk about your favourite hobbies, food, art or leisure activities. What you do to wind down when you’re not shooting – pets, your family, your hometown.
You can also use this opportunity to rehash your love for travelling – a great way for you to subtly remind them that you’re open to shooting destination weddings.
Remember to wrap up this section by tying it back into wedding photography. For example, “That’s a little sneak peek into my life and a few of my favourite things. No matter who and where we are, we’re all souls wandering this beautiful earth, with a different story to share. No tale is one and the same. And that’s why I LOVE documenting love stories (and hopefully yours too!)”

Uncover your overall approach to the day and an overview of your process. Help them picture what it’s like to have you there on the day and why what you do is so important. Mention how you’ll help them ensure the day flows smoothly, because you’ve had loads of experience at other weddings.
For example, talk about how you’ll arrive at first light to capture the mother-of-the-bride and the bridal squad helping the bride get ready. Or the groomsmen sneaking a few drinks to calm their nerves.
Chat about how you’ll turn up after one too many coffees, buzzing with energy to capture one of the most important, memorable days in their lives, and that you won’t miss a moment.
Write about documenting the getting ready prep through to ceremony, reception and afterparty (if relevant). How you’ll be there in the centre of it all or as a wallflower behind the scenes, photographing moments and details that they might’ve missed (e.g. Aunty Doris getting drunk on the d-floor). Whether you stick to purely candid shots or will pose them for styled shots.

THE Philosophy
WE FEEL WE'RE MEANT TO BE IF..
You love vintage film vibes.
You can trust the process fully.
You prefer candid over posed.
You think perfection is boring and overrated.
You prioritize moments over perfect photos.
You value intimacy/intention over big production weddings.
Moments prioritized over perfect photos.
They are extremely personable and took the time to get to know my husband and I prior to the wedding. Can’t recommend them enough!!"

JB spent so much time with us helping to prepare for our photoshoot, picking out locations, understanding exactly what we wanted before we met up for our pictures, and hyping us up throughout the whole experience!! He truly made us feel so comfortable.
