LA BASED ROMANTIC WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER, LOOKING FOR LOVERS, DREAMERS & FREE SOULS
An elevated wedding photography experience rooted in emotion, presence, and timeless artistry.
Meet Valerie
serving Rochester, the finger Lakes, & destinations worldwide.
I am a wedding photographer who is drawn to truth, depth, and the poetry of real connection.
I create imagery that is timeless, emotional, and deeply personal — a blend of documentary honesty and elevated, cinematic artistry. My approach is gentle and grounded, allowing you to feel fully present while I observe with care and curiosity.
Your love story is already beautiful. I’m simply here to honor it.

I had the pleasure of working with Valerie on a recent styled shoot, and she captured every detail beautifully. Her artistic eye and attention to design brought the vision to life. She was kind, professional, and a joy to work with. I would highly recommend her to any couple or creative team looking for a talented and gracious photographer.

Now that we have our wedding photos, we are blown away. Her work is pure art and captures every emotion of our day. Our wedding ran so smoothly, and her professionalism, creativity, and warmth made all the difference. Thank you, Valerie, for being such an important part of our day. We are so grateful.

As a wedding planner, I highly recommend Valerie Marie Photography. Valerie is professional, kind, and incredibly detail oriented. She captures every meaningful moment and is always a pleasure to work with. She truly has the best interest of both the couple and the vendor team at heart.
An Experience Rooted in Presence and Connection
Your wedding deserves more than posed photos, it deserves to be witnessed with heart.
I guide my couples with softness, helping you feel comfortable and supported from the moment we meet through the final gallery delivery. I work intuitively, noticing the subtle, overlooked details and the sweeping, unforgettable ones.
What you receive is a collection of images that feel effortless, emotional, and true to the core of who you are.
Expect:
• A thoughtful, seamless process
• Gentle direction when needed
• Space to be fully yourselves
• A gallery filled with honest, elevated imagery
• A storyteller who values your legacy as much as you do
Timeless imagery. Emotional storytelling. Art you can feel.
Your story is worth documenting with intention.
If you feel a pull toward images that are emotional, artful, and rooted in truth, I would be honored to walk alongside you.
