Seattle Wedding
&
Elopement Photographer
Hi! I’m Valerie!
A hopeless romantic who wants to be behind the lens of your love story.
I specialize in capturing weddings, elopements, proposals, and engagement sessions throughout the Seattle area and the beautiful Pacific Northwest. My approach blends traditional and documentary styles, with a focus on true-to-life colors that authentically reflect the unique vibe of your day.
With a deep passion for storytelling and a keen eye for the small meaningful moments, I’m committed to giving you an experience that goes beyond photographs. My goal is to capture memories that you can hold on to forever and to support you every step of the way. When you look through your album I want you to feel like you’re reliving your day, not just seeing it again, but actually feeling it again.
Timeless, Elegant &
Romantic Photography
Inspired by love, laughter & genuine connection

Kind words
“I'm not sure what the word limit is here, but it's not enough to describe how great it was working with Valerie. From our very first meeting she was warm, fun, open, and full of so much advice that my wife and I started wondering if we ought to pay her extra. (Thankfully her delightful personality is included in the fee.)
She understood our style perfectly and did such a phenomenal job of capturing our personalities in her photography, despite us giving her nonsense directions like "elegant but silly." As a guy with a, let's say "limited" grasp of aesthetics, I didn't really have any specific ideas for photos I wanted, but Valerie always kept an eye on me during the shoots and knew when I had an idea almost before I did. She could also tell when I was drawing a complete blank and had great suggestions that fit seamlessly with our look.
We had a blast every step of the way and it absolutely comes across in our pictures.
Simply exceptional experience all around, eleven out of ten, would get married again just to take more pictures with Valerie.”

“Where to even begin! We were blown away by EVERYTHING Valerie did for us! From the very beginning of her quick responses and communication through it all, to the smallest details during our wedding and post wedding photos. Her care and thoughtfulness with us and our guests, her efficiency, and her ability to understand our needs are unmatched. To say that Valerie’s keen eye, skill, and professionalism at her craft were great is an understatement. It was extraordinarily incomparable in every way, and we are forever grateful for the memories that she has captured in our new chapter. If you are looking for the perfect photographer that will capture your wedding, your engagement photos, life events, etc. , look no further because Valerie will put your mind at ease providing the best experience for you and your loved ones. We feel as though we’ve gained a friend and are so lucky and forever grateful from this experience. Forever clients!”

“I had a wonderful experience with PNW Love Stories!! Valerie was always quick to respond and made time for all my questions! We met over zoom and in person which helped me get to know her and truly feel comfortable on my wedding day! She is amazing at what she does! She has so many creative ideas and listened to what I wanted and made sure it came true! What I love most about her style is the emotion that shines through. I cannot stop looking back at my wedding pictures, not only because they are beautiful, but because I feel like I am reliving the most special day! I love getting to see the emotions of the guests and the candid shots that don’t make it feel forced or fake. Wedding days always go by so fast. Having wonderful pictures is the best way to look back and remember this special day which is why I am so glad I had Valerie to capture every moment. I would highly recommend PNW Love Stories! These are pictures that I will cherish for the rest of my life!”
