About our blog

People say to me all the time: “You're so lucky. You get to go to weddings all the time." They're right. We are lucky. We get to be among people having a great time, looking and feeling their best and participating in what is often the most important day in someone's life.

Here’s the other thing we are lucky to see: the terrific style and creativity that our clients bring to their celebrations. If there is one thing we’ve learned while photographing weddings, it is that a wedding doesn’t have to be expensive to be lovely. We dedicate our blog to sharing the terrific ideas that we’ve seen before and will see this coming season, with a focus on ideas that are simple, elegant and stylish.

All these images are the work of us or our associate photographers from events we've photographed. So, we say "thank you" to our clients who have shared their warmth and happiness with us. 


About John & Theresa Valls

Because we love to travel, we photographed our first wedding together in exchange for two plane tickets to Europe. That was our original plan: we'd photograph a wedding or two, basically just enough to underwrite our love of italian food eaten in Italy. What we hadn't counted on, however, was how much we would grow to love everything about shooting and working together.

John's wedding photography is influenced by his advertising work with agencies, companies and magazines he shoots for. Avoiding an overly-produced style for his photos, John's images reflect his light touch as well as his ability to capture what is descriptive, yet beautiful.

My background in design management helps us create wedding albums that are both contemporary and timeless. I'm an avid believer in the strength of a killer edit, so I work with our clients to compile a photo selection that will meaningful and satisfying 25 years in the future.

Why do so many wedding gowns tend to be so fussy? I know it’s the most special day of all, but did Princess Diana really rock the 25′ train?  A gorgeous woman dwarfed by silk shantung! (Someone out there should write and tell me precisely what fabric the PoW was wearing on that oh-so-fateful day.) There...

Some thoughts on picking a venue

March 7, 2007 Posted in Uncategorized, venues

Decorating a venue, especially if it is particulary large or bland, can certainly add up. It might make sense, in the long run to think about selecting a spot that is simply gorgeous as is. Some of the most memorable settings we’ve seen over the last few seasons were places that were naturally beautiful and...

Snack or table card?

March 6, 2007 Posted in Uncategorized

Joel and Dana’s crimson-themed wedding took place on a warm, September evening. An outdoor ceremony under the natural canopy of an ancient oak was followed by a catered dinner on the lawns of the Shogren House. Rich reds, scarlets and russets of late summer showed up in the flowers, table decor and a pure red...
