Hey..
We're Val & JB — Houston wedding photographer and videographer capturing love stories with style and soul.
We're all about the real stuff — morning coffee, spontaneous dance parties with our daughters, and the kind of moments that feel small at the time but mean everything in the long run. That’s the energy we bring into your wedding day. Love is simple, and we believe documenting it should feel that way too.
Based in Houston, and often in Austin and Dallas TX, we work with couples who want something more than just pretty pictures — they want a story that feels like them. Whether you're planning a sleek black-tie, downtown celebration or an intimate garden wedding, we offer both photography and videography services designed to reflect your style, your energy, and your connection.
Inspired by fashion and editorial aesthetics, our approach blends emotional storytelling with an elevated, cinematic vibe. We're huge fan of candid moments, but we also know how to step in with just enough direction to make you feel confident — never awkward. Think: timeless images with just the right amount of edge and nostalgia.
At the end of the day, everything becomes nostalgic — even the modern moments. Our job? Make sure those memories look just as good as they felt.
what inspires US
THE HEART BEHIND THE LENS
Every wedding we document feels like seeing the world through a whole new lens — and much of that perspective comes from the two little hearts who shape ours daily: our daughters, Mariah and Sophia.
Mariah, our oldest, is ten — full of quiet strength, compassion, and an endless curiosity for the world around her (and sometimes beyond!). Her love language is deep emotional connection. She spends her days crocheting and caring for collection of over 40 plants.
Sophia is eight and already a bold, bright soul. She’s witty, wildly expressive, and constantly teaching us how to lead with joy, silliness, and heart. She loves color, speaks her truth, and reminds us daily to laugh through the chaos.
We live for the simple life. It’s where we’re most grounded — homeschooling our girls, taking spontaneous fishing trips, cooking up something delicious in the kitchen, serving at our local church, and breathing in nature whenever we can. That rhythm of simplicity fuels everything we do — especially the way we tell love stories.
Our passion is to create honest, artful visuals that reflect the heart of your story — just like we aim to reflect the heart of our own every day.
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
You're our kind of people if...
You’re inspired by vintage film vibes, natural light, and photographs that feel like memories.
You want a creative team you can trust completely, so you can be fully present on your wedding day.
You love candid, documentary-style storytelling, but still appreciate a little direction to feel confident and comfortable.
You believe that perfection is boring, and raw, unfiltered emotion is what really lasts.
You value moments over poses, and want your wedding captured as it actually felt — not just how it looked.
You’re planning a day that’s more intentional than overproduced — one that reflects your connection above all else.
We’re here to preserve what’s real: the glances, the movement, the laughter, the quiet. If that sounds like your vision too, we can’t wait to meet you.
Refined. Romantic. Unforgettable
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.
