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. 

 

UPDATED: Kristin and Joe, Saturday Aug 2, 2008

August 8, 2008 Posted in peek

Romance! Kristin and Joe’s wedding and celebration was so romantic. They are so sweet with each other. And, Joe, you are such a handsome fellow! It was a joy to watch Joe see Kristin for the first time on wedding day. He completely lit up–it’s easy to see the Kristin activates and animates him.

Kristin and Joe planned a little time together on the waterfront in the time between their wedding and their reception. (By the way, there are zillions of great pics from that time). After we were finished, Joe and Kristen walked up the RiverPlace walk. The best part was watching the crowds wave and call out their congratulations to the new couple. Cheers to you both.
