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: Samantha and Josh, Aug 16th, 2008

Some of our favorites

We loved this wedding! Josh and Samantha married in Samantha’s parents backyard. You’d never know from looking at the photos that it was about a zillion degrees on the 16th, since everyone looks fresh and lovely. After they said “I do” in one of the prettiest outdoor venues I’ve ever seen, Josh took Sam for a lap around the adjacent lake in an antique wooden rowboat.

There were some things that were especially sweet about this particular wedding. Josh’s Dad served as best man, and also his grandfather was the officiant. Samantha’s parents created the most amazing ceremony site and completely decked out the family home to create this beautiful and meaningful wedding day. All around the couple, you could find brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, cousins and friends all heartily supporting the couple over the course of the day.

I hear that Sam and Josh are headed to their new home in PA on Friday, so we are working at lightning speed so that they can take their proofs with them.

UPDATE: All done! Click here for a link to all the photos from the day. And here for a slideshow of our favorites. And, finally, here to see our vision for the couple’s album.

Congrats to you both!
