That’s me, Val, in full wedding documentary mode! I’ve been in love with photography since I was a child…


Tell me about how the sun looked at the moon so much, he died every night to let her breathe.

Hotel William Gray Wedding in Old Montreal

Kassandra surprised Scott by singing to him as she walked down the aisle. It was an emotionally charged full wedding day filled with boundless love and joy!


You felt familiar the moment I met you. A lovely sort of déjà vu. When we spoke or laughed or danced I became overwhelmed by the powerful sensation that I had been here before. And when we kissed I felt the energies of a thousand lives on our lips, like we had known each other all along.

TESTIMONIAL

Call it a cliche but my husband and I really feel like we found Val by fate…She was incredibly communicative, sweet and supportive the entire time leading up to the wedding, making sure that we were going to get all of the photographs we wanted.”

We never ever felt like we couldn’t get a hold of her or like she left us hanging, she really is there for you every step of the way. She worked SO hard on the day of the wedding getting all the important shots, the candids, all of it…and our photographs are breathtaking.

Val is incredibly talented and professional and my husband and I would so HIGHLY recommend her to anyone for their big day.

Val did an amazing job. She helped me plan my proposal on top of photography, including setting up flowers, petals, chocolate and champagne. Also sent me amazing locations to choose from and then played music during it. Very fairly priced and did a very detailed photoshoot after the proposal and included a slideshow w/music. Highly recommend!

family portraits

I treasure the opportunity to document families, too! Life is busy, and they grow so fast!

GIFT YOURSELF WITH A FAMILY PHOTO SESSION at home, in a studio, or just about anywhere.

Most importantly, this session celebrates your sweet connections, however you’re most comfortable, JUST BEING YOURSELVES.

Because this is all really about relationships, so after the wedding, and in the years that follow, your client experience extends when you request a family photo session, and this honour deepens for me…xx

TESTIMONIAL

If I would have had to choose an amazing photographer many years ago, I would have chosen Valerie Rosen. When I arrived on the scene, she...made me feel immediately comfortable. Winston & Caitlin’s Engagement photos were avant-garde and truly captured there ‘’joie de vivre.

Our families appreciated how she spent the time and effort to get a photo of everyone. During the cocktails, matrimonial ceremony, reception, dancing, after the wee hours... all encompassing the emotions that made the day truly exceptional!

Overall, I would love Valerie to be able to be the photographer for my two other kids! Appreciate all that you did for our family, Valerie.
— Josée Pogue (Mother of the Groom)
