WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY

I love weddings because each one is unique.

There are so many important elements, and I transition between portraits, photojournalism, and details throughout the day to create well balanced coverage that tells the whole story. I always incorporate natural and organic elements into my photography that will reflect your wedding. I am primarily a natural light photographer, but I also have years of studio experience that allows me to find beautiful light in any situation. Lastly, I will always personally be your main photographer.

Your WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY Experience

My goal is to take the stress out of photography for you. Our photos will be fun, laid back, and meaningful. Best of all, I won’t leave you hanging because I always give flattering directions and come with lot’s of creative ideas for compositions and posing. The biggest compliment I get is when clients say they are surprised by how much fun they have on the session. My style focuses on your unique connection and love, while creating images of you together that you will treasure.

COMPLETE COLLECTIONS

 

My wedding pricing is very simple and each of my couples receive a custom collection to fit their wedding day. Each of my collections included your album and a piece of wall art for your home. My style of photography results in a collection of photos that tells your story at this moment, and speaks to your unique beauty and connection. I also offer a engagement sessions, and rehearsal dinner coverage. Get in touch and we will create the perfect collection for your big day!

Vallentyne Photography is a portrait studio in Oceanside, CA, with a newborn studio in Carlsbad, CA, serving North County and San Diego. With 20 years of experience, we specialize in natural, timeless portraits for families, maternity, newborns, and seniors—capturing genuine moments on location or in our beautiful portrait studio.

We’re here to make the process easy and enjoyable. Let’s start with a quick chat about what matters most to you. We’d be honored to create portraits you’ll cherish for a lifetime.

These are the moments that make up a lifetime.
The kind you don’t plan. The kind you can’t pose.
Just a girl chasing the man who makes her laugh the hardest.
This is what real memories look like—movement, joy, love.
The way he turns to let her catch up. The way she thinks he’s the most fun person on the planet.
It’s not perfect lighting or perfect stillness. It’s perfect connection.

You can almost hear the quiet, can't you?

Sometimes a photo is less about what you see
and more about what it makes you feel.

The best moments are totally unplanned.
You can’t script a moment like this—
Not posed. Not polished. Just real life, unfolding in front of the camera.
That’s where the magic is—and I’m here to catch it before it’s gone.

The love, the laughter, the chaos. This is family.
It’s not always quiet. It’s rarely neat.
But it’s real—and it’s yours.
The way your kids tumble into each other during a hug.
The belly laughs that come out of nowhere.
The moments when you think, this is wild, and also, I wouldn’t trade it for anything.
That’s what I’m here to capture—the perfectly imperfect magic of your real life, just as it is.

Love this mama's tattoo; "No Matter What"
"A mother is always a Mother: No matter how many times her feelings get hurt, she never stops caring for her children, and never stops praying for the best of them."
