Hotel Del Coronado Wedding Photography | Whitney + Evan

A Hotel Del Coronado wedding with Susanne Duffy of Crown Weddings is always a dream event and Whitney and Evan’s wedding was no exception!! It was a beautiful Spring day and the vibrant flowers by Bethany Falefitu of Splendid Sentiments were romantic and elegant on the wide expanse of sandy beach, the perfect setting for a dream wedding. The entire day was perfect and full of happiness and the reception was full of fun, laughter and amazing music by N’Demand– by far one of the best wedding bands I have seen! I feel so lucky to have worked with Whitney and Evan on this special day- I can see how perfect they are for each other and wish them many, many years of happiness together!

Here are a few of my favorite images….feel free to pin or leave a comment, we’d love to hear from you! xo, Heather 1-760-672-2416 heather@vallentynephotography.com

I get it—being pregnant can feel overwhelming. You’re tired, you’ve got a million things on your list, and the thought of planning a photo session might feel like one more thing to manage.

That’s where I come in.

From helping you choose what to wear, to finding the perfect location, to guiding you through every pose—I’ve done this hundreds of times. You don’t have to have it all figured out. You just have to show up, and I’ll take care of the rest.

Because these months go by faster than you think. And when they’re gone, you’ll want to remember the way it felt to be here, waiting.

Just two people and a whole new chapter rolling in with the tide.
No shoes. No stress.
Just soaking it in before everything changes.

Still so new to the world, and yet already so full of soul.
It’s these tiny, unexpected moments that take my breath away.
Simple. Honest. Powerful.
No props. No posing. Just your baby—exactly as they are.

There’s nothing quite like those first days of motherhood.
The way she holds her baby close, still learning each other’s rhythms.
The quiet strength in her arms. The softness in her eyes.
It’s raw, overwhelming, beautiful.
And it passes faster than anyone warns you.
That’s why I keep things simple in the studio—so all the focus stays right here:
On the connection. The love. The beginning of it all.
