I work alongside my wonderful fiancée, Tiara, Creative Director & Web Designer. We have a beautiful daughter, Karina, whose smile lights up the world, and two cats, Ollie and Draco.

What I love about wedding photography is getting to share in your special day and capture the connection between you and your partner. Just about every wedding photographer will also tell you this with pride: "I love, Love!"

Professional, flexible and very accommodating team

First of all, the photos and the photography style are so beautiful. Me and my husband love every pictures Daniel took, even the ones with crying faces :) Daniel and Andrea were really helpful in accommodating us with sudden changes in our time and place during our ceremony, working out every detail of our session down to every minute of it, finding spots for my silhouette photo request even when there is no sunlight, and the candid photos from the dance floor are just amazing! We are very thankful of their dedication, and not to mention the easy download for the whole wedding photo album and easy to share to my family that lives across the ocean. Overall, it was a wonderful experience to work with them..

Amazing and exactly what we wanted!

So happy with every single one of our photos! Daniel and Andrea were amazing and such a great help. My wedding guest raved about them the very next day saying how much fun they were and how they were and how they were in the right spot at every moment. They even helped me in my panic when I found out our outdoor ceremony would be inside do to the rain and we came up with plan B right away.

Loved Green Valley Photography!

We first met Daniel and Andrea at the Bridal Show in Charlotte. They were approachable and we had a good conversation at their table so they stood out to me right away. We met with them again a week later and they helped us take our ideas for our ceremony and work out the logistics so they could become a reality. We made a timeline together with everything that we wanted to do and made sure we had enough time to take pictures of it all. I had a lot of family coming to this wedding that I haven't seen in years, and Andrea called out the names from a list we made to make sure we got a picture with everyone. On the wedding day, it was so busy and there was so much happening, I wouldn't have remembered who was supposed to be in each picture, so I was VERY appreciative she was there. Daniel and Andrea were able to do all those family photo combinations and keep things moving when it easily could have been unorganized and taken forever where everyone would have needed to be rounded up and we definitely didn't have time for that! All around, it was a great experience with them and they really made my wedding day run smoothly. If you are looking for a solid wedding photographer, these two are the best team!! Thank you for all of your help; everything was perfect!

Great Engagement Session!!

We had our engagement pictures done by Daniel Valverde of Green Valley Photography. He sent me a list of locations with corresponding photos he had done previously. Then my fiancé and I picked which top 4 spots were our favorite. Then he sent me this guide on what to wear. That was very helpful and we followed it exactly, so we were able to look very coordinated and put together! I'm glad we did that preparation beforehand so on the day we knew what was going to happen and Daniel took all the photos we wanted. We love our photos and will use them for our save the date cards. We didn't know what to expect for an engagement photo shoot because we've never had professional pictures done before, but this was an overall great time and a fun experience! Would definitely recommend!

Daniel and Andrea were my photography team for my summer wedding. They did a great job! They captured everything, nothing was rushed, and we had plenty of time to take all the pictures that I wanted. My family commented on how professional and accommodating they both were. I work as a hair and makeup artist and have seen my name in many magazines credited for hair and makeup, but never thought I would actually be IN a magazine! Thanks to my undeniably fantastic photographer, Daniel, and Creative Director, Andrea, my husband and I were featured in Southern Celebrations Magazine in a 2-page spread for our wedding. There are so many pictures that I keep looking at of my bridesmaids, family, new extended family, and friends that could attended, it's awesome! My guests were able to download the pictures as well and my husband's family that live in Pennsylvania ordered their prints from the gallery and loved them. It was truly a great experience working with them!!

Simply put, Green Valley Photography is absolutely amazing, and we couldn’t have wished for a better experience.
Green Valley Photography went above and beyond for both our engagement photo shoot, and the big day. It was clear from the beginning that we had placed our trust in the right people. Daniel and Andrea took the time to prepare and guide us to ensure we were able to make the most out of our time together. They took excellent care of us by providing advanced instructions that were clear and concise for choosing our wardrobe and suggested beautiful places around town to meet.
They continued this level of excellence as we were planning for our wedding day. They met with us months ahead of time to scout out the venue and help get a wedding day plan in place. They brought many fantastic ideas to the table that my husband and I would have otherwise overlooked. These suggestions really helped to shape our already special day in to something that was unforgettable.
They showed up well in advance to the start of the ceremony to prepare themselves and get shots of the decor before the crowd showed up. These little touches brought the finished product together and captured the overall feel. They were there for all the little moments throughout the day and ended up with story of the entire night.
Their spectacular service continued as they worked to quickly turn around the finished photos for us and our guests to view. We opted to have the leather-bound memory book created for us and the design team to pulled together a picture book story of the night. We were able to provide edits, but requested minimal preferential changes as they really thought of everything. They followed up with us through the process and worked tirelessly to ensure we took care of our part.
I really cannot speak highly enough of Green Valley Photography and would recommend them to anyone looking for a professional team to make their wedding day or event one that will always be remember!

Daniel and Andrea were awesome from the first email we received from them! They totally stood out from anyone else we talked to as they have this great combination of being professional yet still having fun personalities. We're SO GLAD that we had them for our wedding. They thought of everything, they did everything and more on our wedding day, and delivered every photo we could have imagined! So they truly are EVERYTHING! We had someone in our wedding party that was running late due to a wardrobe malfunction that required sewing and Daniel was able to rearrange the timeline and still accommodate everyone and get all the pictures that we wanted. Things could have become chaotic fast, but Daniel & Andrea kept it all together, told us what our options were and how we could make it all work, so we literally did a ton of photos in about 10 minutes. My best of honor was saying she wished she could have had them for her wedding last year and she didn't have nearly as many of the types of photos we had. I don't know how Daniel did it as we received photos of things I didn't even know were happening and it was amazing to see those things included in all of our pictures. We added the leather album (photo book) to our package and it was VERY nice and we keep it on our coffee table and look at it all the time. My maid of honor wished she had that album too!! I have already recommended them to friends I know that are getting married next year. Seriously, hire Green Valley Photography for your wedding, you won't regret it!!!!

Green Valley Photography (Daniel and Andrea) has been a part of our wedding experience from the beginning - engagement to wedding! And I couldn't have asked for a better team! They really took the time to get to know Brad and me, acknowledged our "wish list" and went above and beyond to capture all the amazing moments. I am truly impressed by their level of detail and professionalism. We have received numerous compliments on the photography end product and Daniel and Andrea's fantastic energy and guidance through the day. Very pleased :)

We had our wedding end of March and from the moment we chose green valley, everything went smoothly. Daniel and Andrea are very detail oriented and walked our venue and sat with us and went over everything we wanted. They also helped us with timeline and coordinated all the aspects to make sure we got in all the shots and nothing was stressful. Day of, Daniel, Andrea and his extra photographer were on point and thought of all the details I could have expected and their little touches and thoughtful add-ins made our wedding photos amazing. Would definitely recommend!

I have worked with many photographers over the years but none any better than Green Valley Photography. He brings the drama to his shots but it’s all about the Bride! Many photographers loose sight of the fact that this is about capturing the highlights of a special day in their endeavor to be unique. Green Valley does both. I love working with Green Valley and you will too!
