Four New WPJA Diamond Awards for Engagement Portraits!
Valerie Rosen Photography has been recognized for Four (4) new “Diamond Awards for Engagement Portraits” by the Wedding Photojournalists Association [WPJA] and we couldn’t be more grateful! All three of these photos were created during “Discovery” photo sessions, as part of their Full Day Documentary Wedding Photography plan. These fun engagement photo sessions are an easygoing, unscripted one hour session in a location that might be meaningful to the couple, and serve as a light-hearted opportunity for us to hang out with my cameras, and discover a comfortable flow in our developing relationship of working together. By the time the wedding day rolls around, we just pick up where we left off, so they can feel supported and know they can rely on me throughout their wedding day. Thrilled to share these heartwarming images of love with you! Thanks for viewing!

Talking About Your Engagement Session.
The truth is, no matter how long you’ve been together as a couple, you’ve only just met your wedding photographer! You’ve got your own unique love story as a couple, and the more your wedding photographer gets to know you as a couple, and how you are together, the more natural your photos will feel on your wedding day.

It’s the bride and groom and all their happy guests that make any venue a wonderful setting for documenting a wedding day story, but Hotel William Gray is hands down a wedding venue standout!
