We originally booked Val for a date in October of 2022, however when our venue was no longer able to accommodate weddings we had to find another solution. Val was wonderful and super flexible with us through this challenge! We booked not only our engagement photos with her but she also did our wedding day photography. She was amazing. She put up with me being a little overbearing with questions once our big day got closer. We wanted to squeeze in a first look and she made it happen along with providing us with the most wonderful photos to remember our special day. I can't thank her enough!

Beautiful Wedding Photos
Valerie Zdrada is such a pleasure to work with. I hired her for my wedding on 11/5/22 and received such beautiful photos and memories. She has such a great personality and works with you to make you look fantastic. She helped us hide the fact that is was very windy outside during wedding party pics and took us outside during the centerpiece game at our reception to take some sunset photos that I am in LOVE with. I highly recommend her for wedding and/or engagement shoots :)

Amazing photographer and person
I heard about Valerie because a high school friend used her photography skills for her own wedding and I reached out because they were so good! I just received my engagement pictures back and these pictures are BREATHTAKING. Beautiful location she recommended and beautiful day! My fiance and I don't have professional photos of us so these are just extra special to me. Valerie is absolutely accommodating, friendly, sweet, down to earth, and has an amazing personality. I highly recommend her! Also very affordable! If these engagement pictures are this good I can't wait to see the magic she does on our wedding day!!
UPDATE FROM WEDDING DAY; I would 1,000% recommend Valerie for your wedding photography needs. Her eye is on point when it comes to finding the perfect spots to take breath taking photos. She's so nice, attentive, friendly, patient, responsive, and will always make sure she has exactly what you want and need. Her pricing is very reasonable and her pictures are spectacular. My engagement and wedding photos were done by Valerie and I could not be happier with the outcome! Seriously - GO WITH VALERIE, YOU WON'T REGRET IT!!

Fantastic Wedding Photographer!
Valerie was a pleasure to work with. Her quirky personality and professionalism was exactly what we were looking for in a wedding photographer. She was very accommodating and the final product was everything we hoped for and more.

Incredible Photographer
Valerie was awesome to work with, in all phases of the process. I had interviewed a couple of photographers for my big day, and Valerie's personality fit with my husband and I and or families. I knew while talking with her that she would be able to handle the masses, and she did not disappoint. The day was perfect and she captured moments that will last a lifetime. I would highly recommend her to any bride looking for photographer! Thank you, Valerie for capturing my day!

Amazing photographer, and perfect pictures!
I needed to find a photographer for our very last minute wedding, but did not want to compromise on the quality of the pictures. After finding Val’s website I knew she would be the right choice for us.
The day of the wedding she arrived early, and even stayed a little later to photograph a few important moments from our day. All of our pictures are absolutely beautiful, and turned out better than I thought they could be.
Thank you Val for capturing our love for each other, and unique personalities, AND being such a pleasure to work with!

Excellent Photographer
Valerie is the best! We had her booked for our wedding (that hasn’t happened yet) but when my friend bailed on engagement pictures this past summer she replied immediately and was able to come out last minute that weekend. My finance and I came in super nervous, never having professional pictures taken before and she honestly made it so comfortable and fun. We laughed while trying to be serious then got caught in the rain. Valerie had the best spirits about it! We are getting married in March 2021 and any questions I have along the way she is very responsive to emails. I can’t wait to have her shoot our wedding!

Wedding day photography
Valerie was just really easy going and easy to work with. We came to her because our original photographer decided to up her price 2 months before the wedding... I was not thrilled to say the least. She is very reasonable in her prices and scales them to fit your day, not a cookie cutter template pricing. I found Valerie on Bark I believe, and she was the only down to earth personality that came across my emails. The morning of getting me ready before the ceremony took a chaotic turn because of a late bridesmaid..and Valerie just dove right in and I never felt any pressure from her, nor did I even know she was taking some of the pictures she did. She was fun and funny and made the day easy for us.

We got our photography package as a gift. Fun, outgoing but yet professional Valerie responded very quickly, listened attentively to all our wishes. Pictures were ready to view and to order for printing as soon as 3 days after the wedding. Quick and easy quality service!

Val was amazing, she did an awesome capturing our wedding day and we wouldn’t have asked for more beautiful pictures. If you are looking to work with someone who is personable, relatable, and down to earth, Val is your girl.
We will definitely be contacting her for future photo opportunities.

Professional. No nonsense. Great Photos!
Zdrara photos provided us with treasured memories. I highly recommend Valerie.
Valerie photographed our late September wedding and was so great to work with. We met with her a couple of months before the wedding she helped us put together a list of "must have" photos. We also talked about the wedding day timeline. She told us how much time we would need for our "couple's photos" and candids during our reception. She was spot on.
The best part was I told her that two of my nieces were on the autism spectrum and they may be difficult to photograph during the ceremony. When I arrived at the venue (we decided not to do "first looks", a personal choice) Valerie was photographing them while it was still quiet and we ended up with absolutely precious photos of both of them.
We got to see our pictures soon after our wedding and we are still trying to decide which to pick for prints. Again. Great experience. She really understood our unique family situation and created great memories for us.

Valerie is a wonderful photographer, highly recommended!!
Valerie went above and beyond right from the beginning. she came to our house for the initial meeting and we told her how things were going to happen and she got to know the situation and really helped us out a lot. The wedding went on without any hitches and she was great at coordinating. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a good local photographer!

Our Wedding
Zdrada was very sweet! We had a very small budget for our wedding and she accommodated as much as possible to fit our needs! She knows what she's doing and makes sure to use the time she has wisely. I appreciate all of the work she put into our wedding to five is great photos :)
