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.

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.

Everyday when I look at our family photos captured by Valerie I am so grateful we made the time and commitment to book a photo session with her. Valerie made the entire process seamless and fun. Her communication is top notch and her dedication for finding the perfect location is meaningful.

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)
