About

Hello, I'm Valerie and I'm here for the mems.

I’m the number one fan in your fan club (foam finger and all) when it comes to preparing for this huge day in your lives.

You could say I’m pretty into my couples (seriously though, you guys are the freakin' best) and my goal is to make you and your bad selves look and feel cool as hell. But I’m also extra susceptible to the feels. I mean would I be in the biz if I wasn’t? So, you bet your hiney I’ll shed a few tears behind my camera at your wedding, and I'll capture all the laughing/crying/knee-slapping stuff too. Trust me, it’s not my RBF, it’s that I’m trying really hard not to ugly cry at that speech your father/brother/sister/mother/best friend just made. Or I'm trying to conceal my literal tears of laughter at someone's random uncle dropping it low on the d-floor.

Love love love!

Valerie was absolutely incredible to work with. She is so professional, talented, and genuinely one of the kindest people we have ever met. From the very beginning, she made everything feel easy and enjoyable. She photographed our welcome party the night before and our entire wedding day, and every single photo captured the joy and love of the weekend perfectly.

She has such an amazing eye and creative vision. Valerie made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera and truly became part of the celebration. She helped make our wedding day so smooth and so memorable from start to finish.

Beyond her talent, Valerie is just such a wonderful person to be around. She is thoughtful, patient, and so easy to get along with. We have no complaints whatsoever and would recommend her to absolutely anyone looking for a photographer. She is truly a creative genius and we are so grateful she captured one of the best days of our lives so perfectly!!!

A must for your wedding day

Valerie is a MUST for your wedding day. She seamlessly blended professionalism with a delightful, fun-loving spirit that made the entire experience beyond memorable. Valerie was not only highly professional but also incredibly flexible, adapting effortlessly to our needs and making us feel at ease throughout the entire process. She has a remarkable ability to capture the essence of the moment, and the photos we received were more breathtaking than we could have ever imagined. Valerie is not just a photographer; she is a true artist who made our special day even more magical. We wholeheartedly recommend Valerie to any couple seeking someone who is not only skilled but also a joy to work with.

Incredible

Valerie was by far the best decision I made of all my wedding preparations. SHE KNOWS THE VIBES. Everyone that has seen our wedding pictures has been absolutely blown away - friends of friends that I've never met have seen the pictures and beg to know who took them. Valerie was so easy to work with and her quality of work is unmatched.

Absolutely wonderful

This is how much I wanted Valerie to photograph my wedding; I contacted her months before I’d even been proposed to! That should show how wonderful she is! I fell in love with her photos, how soft and lovely the light is in all of them. I knew I just had to have her be my photographer, so I contacted her as soon as I saw her profile on the knot.

We got to know her when she took our engagement photos, which turned out just beautiful. I got so many compliments on them! Valerie worked hard during the shoot to make us feel comfortable (especially my husband, who isn’t the most natural in from of the camera). She was all that and more again on our wedding day, helping to scout out good locations for photos since we had to change plans because of rain. She was supportive, cheerful, and worked on a fairly tight timeline for my big day. We had a very themed Harry Potter wedding and she helped focus on lots of details, and fun shots with the theme in mind.

I’ve only gotten back the sneak peaks but I’m already so in love with them. I can’t wait until l get to see the rest! This was the number one thing I wanted to go well, because the photos are what preserve your memories of that special day. If you’re looking for beautiful, romantic photos with a very easy-going photographer, then Valerie is definitely for you!

Better than we could’ve dreamed...

From the moment I inquired with Valerie, she was professional and kind. We had a 45 minute conversation while I was at work and she immediately won me over with her passion for our wedding and the vision we had. Valerie explained things in detail and was patient and never made me feel rushed about booking our photography contract.

I was able to contact Valerie to get advice and details throughout the planning process. Never once did she make me or my now husband feel like a burden for asking questions or wanting to meet to finalize the schedule. She was there to help guide us, ensuring that we achieved the vision we wanted.

The day of, she came in early to meet everyone and check out the space while immediately putting everyone at ease with her presence. We had decided to have a surprise wedding and the time we spent waiting for guests to arrive for the big reveal was nerve-wracking. Through it all Valerie was calm and patient. When the big reveal came she caught some of the most important photos of the whole day in the most beautiful way.

Without being intrusive, she caught every moment from our ceremony, and afterward she handled wedding party/family pictures with such expertise it was painless and quick. Valerie came out with us to our after party, wandered around the Fort Worth water gardens, and captured our night to perfection.

I work in the wedding industry and have seen many weddings and many vendors that make or break your wedding. Too many people cut cost where it matters most. Take the time, and invest in your photographer and choose the best- which is Valerie Thompson Photography. She will invest in you and present you with honest, emotional, raw, beautiful and timeless photos. I have come out of this process with wonderful photos that I will treasure for a lifetime, our photographer for life, and a new friend.


Cheers to Val for being amazing.

Do not hesitate and hire her!

IF YOU ARE ON THE FENCE ON HIRING VALERIE DO NOT HESITATE AND BOOK HER!!!!! I feel so lucky that I stumbled across her profile here. I didn't know where to start with hiring a wedding photographer, and after meeting up with her I was in love! We did an engagement session as well and W-O-W!!! All of her work is so beautiful and she puts more than 100% of her soul into her work. After the wedding we talked with all of our family and friends and EVERYONE just talked about how much they loved her! Valerie was always her genuine self and I think that is why she stands out in the best way, rather than your typical wedding photographer who doesn't care about the client or even their work half the time. Valerie is seriously the BEST decision we made and I will only ever hire her for any future photography I need!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
