Valerie Schaff & Co.

 

Your wedding day is deeply personal, and it deserves to be documented with honesty, care, and intention.

I invite you to slow down, be present with one another and feel rooted in the meaning of the day. Every detail, whether carefully chosen or unfolding quietly in the moment, becomes part of a story built on connection.


Wedding collections are intentionally curated to allow for an unhurried, meaningful experience.

It is an honor to be trusted with a day of this significance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is travel included in your wedding collections?

Travel within my local service area is included. Weddings outside of this area may require an additional travel fee to cover mileage, lodging, or airfare when applicable. All travel expenses are discussed and agreed upon prior to booking.

Do you offer wedding collections or hourly coverage?

Wedding photography is offered through thoughtfully curated collections designed to tell the full story of your day. Limited hourly coverage may be available depending on availability and season. All collections include professional editing and delivery via a private online gallery.

What is required to book?

A signed contract and non-refundable booking fee also called 'retainer' are required to officially reserve your wedding date. Dates are not held without both.

How and when will we receive our gallery?

Your final images are delivered via a private online gallery where you can view, download, and share your images with ease. Wedding galleries are typically delivered within 10-12 weeks. Sneak peeks may be shared at the photographer’s discretion.

Frequently Asked Questions

5. Do you have a recommended videographer?

If you're considering adding video to your day, I’m happy to share my trusted list of creatives who prioritize storytelling, seamless communication, and a stress-free experience. Just let me know you’re interested, and I’ll send over my top recommendations based on your vision and budget.

What does editing include?

All delivered images receive professional editing in my signature style, including color correction, exposure adjustments, and light retouching. This does not include heavy Photoshop alterations such as body reshaping, facial feature changes, or removal of permanent features unless explicitly agreed upon in writing.

7. Can we meet before the session?

Yes! I love connecting beforehand so we can get comfortable and align expectations. We can chat over Zoom or a quick phone call—whatever feels easiest for you. It’s a great opportunity to talk through timeline, shot list and any other pre-planning details you’re dreaming of so you feel fully prepared and excited about documenting your day.

How many photos will we receive?

Rather than guaranteeing a specific number of images, I focus on delivering a complete, cohesive gallery that best tells the story of your day. Final image selection is at the photographer’s discretion to ensure quality, consistency, and artistic integrity. RAW files, unedited images, proof galleries, and unculled files are not provided. The images you receive are fully edited and represent the final product of my work.

I look forward to hearing from you and helping you create memories that will last a lifetime.
