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 Vallentyne-Photography_0751.jpg

Living here all my life has given me an eye for the perfect light, locations, and backdrops unique to our area. If you’d like to take advantage of that local knowledge, let’s chat.
I love when clients tell me their photos feel like “them.” That’s always the goal—to capture your family in a way that feels natural and true. If that’s what you’d like, let’s plan a session.
Your portraits should be more than just photos—they should be heirlooms that tell your family’s story. If you’d like to start creating yours, let’s connect.
With over two decades of experience, I know how to take the stress off your plate so you can simply enjoy the moment. If you’d like that kind of support, let’s talk.
Families often tell me they’re surprised by how much fun their session was. That’s always my goal—natural, relaxed, and full of laughter. If you’d like that too, reach out anytime.
Your photos shouldn’t just sit on a computer—they should live in albums, frames, and prints you see every day. If that sounds right to you, I’d love to help design it.
