“Thanks to Val, we had the most unique and special start to the rest of our lives. I couldn’t have asked for a more comfortable and carefully thought-out environment than the one Val created for us. We were encouraged to share jokes with each other and even add some silliness to what would otherwise have been a heavy and serious occasion. All of this I feel contributed to the very natural and heartwarming shots she was able to capture. I am so happy that we chose Val to organize and record this moment in our lives.”

“Easily one of the best decisions we made!”

I'm Valerie

But my friends call me Val!

An adventurous spirit with Midwestern roots, my urge to explore has taken me across the globe photographing people through all walks of life. Recently, my heart settled me in Colorado where I capture your tender and unforgettable moments in the breathtaking wilderness surrounding Denver. My goal as your elopement photographer is to ease any worries and capture the authenticity of what will no doubt be an unforgettable day.

My favorite adventure...

My goofiest quirk is probably...

Pretending I know all the flags/penalties in football

If I had to pick sunrise or sunset...

Tough! Both are spectacular but there's something about sunrise that's just incredible

Favorite place to work...

Anywhere outdoors or a good comfy coffee shop

BRINGING THE FOCUS

BACK TO YOU

A wedding (no matter how big or small) should be curated to the couple, a day where the focus is on each other and built around things THEY enjoy.

Time to celebrate YOU!

Eloping allows you and your partner to truly craft a day for yourselves. Plan to celebrate with all your favorite activities! Something to really remember.

Have fun & make memories!

The thing I hear most from couples about their big traditional wedding is that they didn't spend any time with their partner. With a day that is solely meant to be about you two, let's do just that!

Let me tag along on your dream adventure and capture the genuine happiness and bliss on your special day. My couples are more than clients. They're adventurous spirits seeking more than just a wedding day. Let's plan your perfect day!

    Valerie | Adventure Travel & Photography(@journeyious) on Instagram: A place you haven't seen on social media yet. ️ Secluded in the jungles of Taiwan, I found Lulu Hot Spring - an area where geothermally heated groundwater emerges from the Earth's crust - and it turned out to be the best trip I've done so far!It's those moments when I appreciate the most just being by myself.

    Valerie | Adventure Travel & Photography(@journeyious) on Instagram: I kicked off my Central Asia trip (June-Oct) relatively unprepared. I had only skimmed through a single blog post to grasp a vague idea of a sensible travel route, and my intention to learn some Russian beforehand didn't quite work out due to my busy exploration in Southeast Asia.
