Valerie is the literal best wedding photographer is Central Illinois! She made our day so special, easy, and tons of fun! Valerie attended the wedding rehearsal where she got her bearings for the big day and provided us with some pro tips! On our wedding day, she arrived early to get some shots of us getting ready (which turned out beautifully and captured tons of priceless moments), and then stayed all the way through after dinner to get sparkler and sunset shots (which were her idea by the way) that turned out stellar!! I can not say enough about how hard she worked to make sure she got all the shots we were wanting and more! She worked great with our large wedding party and through our large family photos! She had creative ideas about different things we could do that made for some amazing pictures as we stopped at a few outdoor spots along our party bus route! And when my dress bustle broke during mine and my husband's first dance, she even ran over afterwards to help me fix it with safety pins! Valerie totally goes above and beyond to do everything she can to make sure your photos and experience are exactly what you want. I would totally recommend Valerie to anyone and everyone because she will make your day stress free and full of amazing photos to capture the best memories of your life. :)

Valerie is simply AMAZING!!! she was wonderful to work with for our engagement pictures then our wedding!

Valerie was a blessing to work with. She came to the church early to meet me and became such a savior!! She helped me so much- between doing me favors and helping pin flowers on some of the wedding party she was virtually everywhere and helped facilitate the entire day! Her bag of endless goodies was a life saver, from extra pins and needles to black socks for the forgetful groomsman she was the full package and more. I can not say enough great things about her! With the addition of her new photo booth, amoungst her many skills, she captured every moment of our special day with gusto!!!
