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.
Extended family sessions are joyful, unpredictable, and full of laughter. There’s always a mix of candid chaos—kids running through the sand, cousins tackling each other—and then those quiet, tender moments where generations come together in one frame.
I guide each group so every family has their chance to shine while still keeping the energy light and natural. It’s not about stiff poses; it’s about personalities and connection.
Next up: the best part of all—seeing the finished portraits come to life. 🌅 (3/3 tomorrow!)

There’s something so special about gathering multiple generations together on the beach. ✨ Parents, grandparents, kids, cousins—all in one place, enjoying the ocean breeze and each other.
Extended family sessions aren’t just about photos; they’re about capturing the love that spans decades. These are the kinds of moments that deserve to be preserved, not just for today but for years from now when the littles are grown.
Tomorrow I’ll share what makes extended family sessions so much fun (and why they’re one of my favorite things to photograph). 🌊 (2/3 coming next!)

There’s something about that first time your baby wraps their fingers around yours.
It’s instinct, sure—but it’s also connection.
A silent little promise: I know you. I trust you. I’m safe here.
They won’t remember this moment, but you will.
And years from now, you’ll look at this photo and remember exactly how it felt.
That’s the power of something so small.

Not trying to be dramatic- just honest. This season flies.
