About
Light always fascinated me. In Guam and Hawaii the light was fantastic. In California those blinding metal flakes on the Pacific in the late afternoon.... Florida light is beautiful too. I'd jump out of bed in the morning to photograph the early light on the bedclothes, the flowers, the cat...
Around 2000, I began to concentrate on wedding photography. I love the flow of the day and that you must produce your best work in the middle of this big event. Recently I began using a lot less flash and much more of that subtle Florida light to give my work a fashion feel.
Decades from now people will look at my work and say "this is my parents on their wedding day" or "that was my grandparents on their wedding day." And that is REALLY satisfying.

Reviews of Wedding Photography by Valentine Becker

When I've had the opportunity to work with Val it's been tough to keep up with him. He works like a machine. He is covering every little detail on one hand, gathering people for portraits on the other, and then keeping an eye on everyone else to see if he needs to snap a picture there. He can be all over the place, yet you hardly know he's there. Just because he's a machine doesn't mean that weddings have become routine for him. After the tons of weddings he's done, you can still see that he enjoys what he does. You can also see that he has fun out there. When the music is blaring towards the end of the night, as he snaps photos, you might catch him dancing in between shots.
