About PNW Love Stories
PNW Love Stories
Hi! My name is Valerie! I am a hopeless romantic who wants to be behind the lens of your love story. I fell in love with photography in my high school darkroom. I went on to major in media and communication at University of Washington with a focus on visual arts. I have always been a story teller, a big feeler and obsessed with all things love, so photographing weddings is quite literally living my dream. I have photographed over 130 weddings and have the same passion for them as when I first started. I cannot see myself doing anything else.
I am fully prepared to help you plan your timeline, refer reliable vendors and answer any questions you may have. I am a pro at preparing you for your big day and at calming your nerves when it arrives. You can count on me to get on the floor and bustle your dress and to fix your make up if you shed a few tears. I will show up not just as a professional but as a friend. I will laugh with you and I certainly cry with you all while striving to give you the most incredible images possible. I have truly found my bliss capturing love stories and I cannot wait to tell yours!

Our Forever Photographer
Working with Valerie from PNW Love Stories was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding (09/2025 at Pemberton Farm in Snohomish, WA). She was incredible from start to finish: professional, organized, and so intuitive that she needed absolutely no guidance to capture every moment and all the shots I had hoped for (and many I didn’t even know I wanted). We loved our engagement shoot with her, so we already knew we were in good hands, but she somehow still exceeded our expectations on the wedding day. She blended right in, made everyone feel comfortable, and brought such a warm, fun energy to the entire experience. We received our photos within a month, and they are incredible. The way she captured the emotions, details, and candid moments is something we’ll treasure forever. Valerie truly feels like part of our family now, and we plan to work with her for all our future family and event photography needs. We couldn’t recommend her more!
The Lloyd’s Wedding
️️️️️ Beyond Grateful for Valerie and PNW Love Stories! Working with Valerie and her team at PNW Love Stories was one of the very best decisions we made for our wedding. From start to finish, she went above and beyond — not only as a photographer but as a true guide and friend throughout the entire process. Before the big day, Valerie was incredibly supportive. She helped us explore options when we weren’t sure if we wanted an elopement or a full wedding, offered advice, and even helped us find vendors that fit our vision. I was a very confused (and slightly crazy!) bride planning everything in just two months, and Valerie was there every step of the way — calm, kind, and so helpful in keeping me grounded and excited for what truly mattered. On our wedding day, she and her team were absolutely amazing. They captured every single moment — the big, emotional highlights and the little details that made our day uniquely ours. From the kiddos digging for worms and hanging on the fence during our first dance, to the happy tears during our ceremony, and the genuine smiles of all our loved ones — Valerie found beauty in every part of the day. The photos themselves are breathtaking. The quality is incredible, and she delivered them to us in time for our one-month anniversary, which made it even more special to relive every moment so soon. Each photo tells a story — warm, full of life, love, and laughter — exactly how our day felt. Valerie was so easy to communicate with before and after the wedding, always responsive and thoughtful. You can tell she truly cares about her couples and pours her heart into her work. We are endlessly grateful for Valerie and the PNW Love Stories team. If you’re looking for a photographer who not only delivers stunning photos but also genuinely supports you through every step of the journey — Valerie is the one.
Amazing Photographer!
From the moment we booked PNW Love Stories for our wedding, we knew we were in good hands. Valerie is friendly, professional, and prompt in all of her communications, answering our questions and providing helpful guidance throughout the planning process. On the day of the wedding, Valerie was a calming presence, making us feel at ease and ensuring that all the important moments were captured beautifully. Her vibrant, bright photos perfectly reflect the joy and love of our special day. In fact, we've been so impressed with Valerie's work that we continue to use her for all of our photography needs - from milestone events to family portraits and holiday photos. We couldn't recommend PNW Love Stories more highly.
Great Photos on Short Notice
Valerie was actually our second photographer after our first option wasn't going to work out. She joined us on short notice, maybe a month or two before the wedding. The photos she took that day were absolutely amazing, and we're so glad that she was able to memorialize such a special day. Not only did Valerie take great photos, but her communication with us was excellent from our first Zoom call all the way through the delivery of our photos. We can't recommend her enough to anyone looking for a photographer.
