Hi, thanks for your interest 🙏🏻...
It's hard to overstate how incredible Valentina is. From our engagement shoot to her shooting the wedding, we never felt awkward taking photos and we honestly ended up gaining a friend more so than a vendor. Nothing throws her off: I ended up falling into the creek during our engagement photo session and still ended up with photos I LOVE---and she was right there to laugh along with us, excited that we got to take photos in the water. Valentina has an eye for *everything*, and maybe my favorite parts of the gallery were the moments I didn't even realize were happening at the time, all immortalized for us to reminisce on. She was always available, answered every single question we had, and took care of every general concern we had. In an industry where you feel like everyone is trying to upsell you simply because you have the word "wedding" attached to it, I don't regret spending a single cent on Valentina and her talent. Perhaps most importantly, she's also just real--human and willing to work with you; gets it. When I was looking for a photographer I found it so hard to find someone who was in that sweet spot between moody and bright, wanting to use natural light and have joyous pictures that weren't too high contrast/making the entire image too white or too orange because everything has the same filter on it. We couldn't be happier with our choice.
We loved working with Valentina! Valentina took all pictures concerning our wedding for us , including engagement, bridal, and our wedding day photos. My husband and I loved working with her and could not be more happy with how the pictures turned out! 10/10 would recommend. I will most definitely be reaching out to her for any other photo needs.
So glad we had her to do our engagement pictures! I told her my vision on our engagement pictures and was very hesitant because this was my first time hiring a professional photographer but she did amazing! She worked very hard with us to pick the best scenary and was able to deliver the best representation of me and my partners relationship in every picture ! 💕 All of my friends and family loved them ! I would recommend to anyone!
When I decided to do a boudoir shoot, I was filled with anxiety. I knew I’d be close to naked and my body image issues and insecurities crept in as the session grew closer. Day of, Valentina greets me with the biggest smile and warmest hug, all my anxiety melts away. Before I knew it I was dancing, enjoying my body, absolutely feelin myself. Val showed me how to do all the poses, did nothing but hype me up, and was so generous with her time and energy. AND THE PICTURES!!! Holy moley, I cried. I’d never seen myself in such a light, I was sexy, I was sensual, I was cute, I was beautiful, I was a WOMAN. I’ll never be able to repay her for the confidence she gave me. Long story short, book her for everything, if I would’ve met her sooner she would’ve definitely been our wedding photographer. She is worth it all!
Valentina photographed my daughters wedding and the photos are beautiful. I would highly recommend her as a photographer.
My wife and I are so glad we found her because she is very talented and lovely to work with. Just from our initial meeting with her, we knew she was going to be great :) Valentina focuses a lot on candid moments and very spontaneous, genuine actions made by the objects of her photographs. She captured every moment and emotion during our wedding seamlessly - even the simplest and smallest things throughout the day were shot in such a beautiful and dramatic way. The photographs are top quality even in the editing aspect of it. The lighting is perfect and her choice of the color scheme is consistent in all the photos - not overly bright/contrasted, but more natural and dramatic. Communication is also very easy with Valentina. She is very quick to respond to e-mails, transparent in her contract agreements and also pretty flexible with how you'd like her to capture your special day. Valentina, you are the best. Thank you for making our wedding day worth re-living through your photography.

Hi, thanks for your interest 🙏🏻
My photography style can be defined as delicate, dreamy and nostalgic and my biggest source of inspiration is ballet, that being my life for 17 years.
I was born in Italy in the late 80’s (Leo sun, Libra moon, Sag rising, Aries mars, Cancer venus, where are my astrology nerds?), spent most of my life in a small town on Garda Lake, 30 minutes away from Verona - known abroad thanks to Romeo and Juliet.
I moved to the USA in 2015 to follow my (now ex) husband. After 5 years in the SF Bay Area and 3 in Texas, I now live in Washington DC with my fiancé and our daughter, expecting our second baby in February 2024.
