About

Welcome! The happily married duo behind it all, we are Rudy & Lina of Rudy Valentino Photo + Cinema founded in 2011. Rudy has always had a fascination in art and creativity. His story telling through the lens reveals his true passion for photography. As family and friends might say, he is a very laid back photographer who enjoys making people laugh and learning new things. Lina found her love for photography through her husband Rudy. Her attraction to the hobby became a profession as she always enjoyed watching him do what he loves most. She enjoys meeting new people and learning to see the life of others through her devotion for photography. Making others feel complacent and happy has always been her number one goal. Together they realized that they have discovered their calling; documenting the love of all who seek their services. Blessed to photograph two souls committed to the promise of forever, their passion for life and photography help to tell the story of your adventure. Your special day will always be approached with an artistic eye. We capture stunning portraits, the little details that make your wedding "yours" and the candid moments that you want to be able to share with generations to come. Memories are fragile and precious. Your first kiss, walking down the aisle, and the first dance - It only happens once and yet they resonate and reach beyond our lifetimes. They overflow into the next generation. Your stories are worthy to be documented. Rudy and Lina love connecting with people who are excited to share their story and who trust them with it. Your story is worthy of being told by anyone; but Rudy and Lina would be honored to share it.

Dynamic Husband and Wife Duo

Rudy and Lina set the tone of warmth, fun, energy, and ease for our wedding. They are such a great duo that makes you feel right at home from the minute they meet you. Their pictures are absolutely incredible, and we are overwhelmed with the amount of stunners that they edited for us. You will not regret hiring them. The service that they provide is unmatched for the price that they charge. We feel very lucky that we found these two. Not only did they produce unique pictures (both wide and normal angle lens) that we were able to gift for the holidays, but they also made our wedding day so relaxed and enjoyable. Thank you for all of your care, Rudy and Lina, and we know that you will continue to be an amazing success!

Absolutely THE Best

Amazing experience with Rudy & Lina. They are true artists and take the time to get to know you, understand your vision and execute your day without a hitch. Their personalities are comforting and feel like you have known them a lifetime. It is important to have photographers who can capture your most vulnerable and intimate moments without feeling pressured or out of place. we cannot recommend them enough.

Jaw-Dropping Pictures, Amazing Power Couple

It's difficult to convey into words how amazing, talented, attentive, hard-working, fun, and overall fantastic Rudy and Lina are! From the first time we met with Lina to talk through packages and other information about who they are, Lina instantly felt like a friend we had not talked to in a long time and clicked. My wife and I felt this was important because we had never had someone take professional photos of us, and wanted to be with a team we felt comfortable with. Once we met Rudy, we felt the same way, and knew that we had to hire them to be a part of our big day.

We went with a package that included an engagement shoot, and the day of, not only did both of them direct us really well to capture stunning photos, but also helped us feel at ease, as we started off a bit nervous being in front of the camera. They like to crack a few jokes throughout and be their outgoing selves, which speaks greatly of how outgoing they are personally, but also of how important it is to them that their couples engage with them and truly have everyone work together as a team to produce these pictures. Needless to say, the engagement pictures came out awesome, and had plenty of people we showed feel the same way!

Due to COVID-19, my wife and I had to reschedule a couple of times, and Rudy and Lina were extremely flexible, and offered everything they could to still be a part of our day, even when it seemed like it might not happen. Luckily for us, they both were available for the last reschedule, and the weeks and days leading to the wedding, Lina was encouraging and very professional in terms of getting all the details and timeline down.

The day of, they both arrived early and ready to go. They showed our bridal party the same attention and care that they showed us, and easily blended in to the group. Everyone had nothing but positive things to say about them, including how cool, fun, and easygoing they were throughout the day. The entire time, Lina made sure all the small details were taken care of, and helped keep everything going smoothly, which we greatly appreciated, as that was going above and beyond what a photographer does normally. We got a chance to see previews of some of the shots being taken that day, and even looking at them from the small screen of the camera, we could tell they are going to be awesome memories for us! Rudy even put his body on the line for one picture where I was being launched into the air and caught by my groomsmen, and the perspective of the shot was from ground facing up at my face. Crazy, but amazing stuff, and it was his idea!

Our wedding would not have been the same without Rudy and Lina, plan and simple. They are a truly an amazing duo that we are grateful to have met and have a part of our day. The memories that they helped capture and the way they did it is unforgettable, and I cannot wait to relive the day through their lense. We cannot wait to work with them again in the future, and highly recommend them!
