Next to getting married, choosing Valerie and Pasha to capture our special day was by far the BEST decision we made for our elopement!
Photos are extremely important to us and we wanted to make sure that the photos were authentic and captured real moments. Valerie delivered that and so much more, the moments she captured were not only real but beautiful. Looking through the photos she took is like reliving the day.
While Valerie took great consideration for what we wanted for our photos she also made fantastic recommendations: for example choosing Ruby Beach for our elopement location and doing a golden hour (sunset) couples photo shoot. The lighting cannot compare and with Valerie’s talent/ skills, the photos were incredible. We’re thrilled to have these to reflect back on for the rest of our lives, they are such a gift.
It was such a joy to work with Valerie and Pasha. Valerie is so much more than just a photographer, her and her husband, Pasha, went above and beyond, and made the whole experience from our first email exchange to the day of our elopement easy and stress free. Valerie was always available to provide us with feedback, ideas, and vendor recommendations. She gave us a complete list of vendors for cakes, hair and makeup, floral etc. which simplified the process and eliminated decision fatigue. It made all the difference in the world! She was on top of things and made sure we were on top of it too which was so helpful. Her communication was fantastic with regular contact and quick responses to our inquiries. Despite having many other clients to help, she really made you feel valued and top of mind. I cannot thank Valerie and Pasha enough for being our rocks during the stressful moments and providing kind words of reassurance that helped us focus on each other and having fun.
Pasha married us, and he was so genuine, funny, and warm as an officiant and person in general. It felt like we had known him for years and he was a dear friend marrying us. Could not have asked for a better person for the job. Thank you, Pasha!
I could go on forever about Valerie and Pasha, what an incredible team! We are so happy we chose them. The photos are treasures and we will forever be grateful to Valerie and Pasha for helping to make our day fun, seamless, and beautiful! To summarize, you will not regret hiring this beautiful husband and wife team, I would get married all other again just to work with them.
Thank you so much, Valerie and Pasha!
