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.

We’ve driven past the dome of St. Patrick’s Church for the last 17 years. It’s that wonderful tawny-colored church whose tip-top you see when you get on the I405 from NW Thurman. Seth and Andrea chose St. Patrick’s Church for their September wedding last year.
We were so pleased to finally see the interior. It’s like...

8 great cakes

April 12, 2007 Posted in cakes

I love cake!  After all the wedding guests are served, John and I have been known to snag a slice to prop up our flagging blood sugar after a full day of chasing around shooting. My all-time favorite cakes have come from Joseph’s Dessert Company. I remember a lemon cake that was easily the most...

Some favorite flowers

April 2, 2007 Posted in Uncategorized, flowers

During a client meeting the other day, John and I realized that, while couples might be checking out our photography portfolio, they are sometimes also browsing the pics for other ideas like colors, flowers or cakes.  It made me think it would be fun to post photos of some of the pretty wedding flowers from...
