Editorial & Portraits

Having accumulated extensive experience in advertising visual effects for brands like Pepsi, Adidas, Volvo, but also for renowed movies like Top Gun 2, Ant Man ,Black Panther, Watchmen HBO series, etc, I've honed a unique skill set in creating fashion imagery adapted to Hollywood standards, with the authenticity of the cinematic storytelling that stays in people’s minds for years.

Moreover, my Art Direction Certification and enthusiasm for outstanding Hero Businesses pushes me toward collaborations with different fashion studios and brands. When working with them I apply the same tacticts and standarts I’ve learned over the years while working with some of the biggest Holywood Visual Effects Studios.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • What is your pricing?

    Through our years of experience, I've come to understand that each celebration is very different , with its own set of special requirements.. Due to this, I provide personalized quotes for every wedding, elopement, and portrait session. While the comprehensive wedding packages start at a base investment of $3,400 , I encourage you to get in touch with me. Once I have more details about your needs, I can provide a more specific breakdown of your investment.

  • How do I secure my date?

    After choosing your date and finalizing your collection, I'll draft a photography contract for your consideration. I kindly request that you review and sign the contract within approximately 2 days to secure your chosen date. Once I receive both the signed contract and a 30 % (50% for non weddings) photography retainer, your wedding date will be officially reserved! The remaining balance is expected 4 weeks before your scheduled wedding date.

  • How long does it take to get our photos?

    Expect a turnaround of 2 to 4 weeks for engagement and portrait sessions and 4 to 6 weeks for wedding images. I meticulously curate each image because I want them to feel boldly natural, true to color , and have a unique timeless feel. In order to create this aesthetic,great care goes into color editing, wich needs lots of ‘invisible’ adjustments and coming back and forth to the images with fresh eyes on different days.

  • What happens if Valeria gets sick or a catastrophic emergency hits right before the event?

    I’ve never had an emergency crash the party right before a wedding, and I intend keeping it that way. Your (and my) peace of mind being a priority, I’m all about careful planning—keeping myself in excellent shape and making sure I’ve got plenty of time to get there. But hey, life can throw curveballs. If, by some wild chance, something unfortunate happens, no worries! I’ve got a stellar network to hook you up with - a photographer just as awesome and with a similar style. Otheriwse—I would return your full investment. I’m sure we can make this journey together, no matter what twists come our way!

  • Is travel/accomodation included in your prices for destination weddings and elopements?

    Rest assured, within the detailed proposal, you'll find all-inclusive provisions for travel expenditures. Be it the enchanting landscapes of France, the enhanting landscapes of Mexico, or any amazing destination on your mind, I meticulously orchestrate my travel arrangements, securing the safest and the fastest mode of transportation for me and my gear. Your peace of mind being my commitment , I also partner up and keep it touch with local photography stores in case of emergency.

  • What equipment do you use? And how can we be sure it's safe?

    I shoot with a Sony Alpha a7 IV Digital Camera. I always bring a backup camera, lenses, memory card backups and batteries, and all of my equipment is regularly serviced to ensure it’s in full working order. I always record everyhting on two cards, double slot recording. That way I have an instant backup in case of card failure or file corruption (which is very very unlikely as they are brand new). I also make a copy on two of my drives for extra security. I also have a camera and lenses insurance.

  • Do you work with a second photographer?

    Yes, especially if it's a bigger wedding or if you have a package that includes a video trailer highlight! I'm 100% comfortable taking pictures on my own, but on the wedding day it's great to have an extra pair of eyes to capture the things I might not have time for. to do. For example: a second photographer can capture the groomsmen getting ready, while I capture the bridesmaids! You will get photos from another point of view.

  • Can I customize a collection or add more hours?

    Certainly! I’m delighted to customize any package to perfectly align with your celebration. Kindly send me your preferences via email, and I'll craft a unique collection tailored just for you. Expect a personalized proposal for your consideration in response.

    Whoever you want depending on your values, desires and visions for your event. Otherwise, we'll initially capture moments with your close family, including parents, siblings, and, if relevant, grandparents, within the designated formal family session. Also, please notify me of any distinctive circumstances family dynamics (such as divorce or step-parents) so we can ensure a warm and inclusive acknowledgment of all significant relationships in your lives.

  • How many languages do you speak?

    I speak fluently French, English, Romanian, Russian, and a bit of Spanish. My multilingual proficiency ensures a personalized experience for couples around the world, allowing me to seamlessly navigate diverse cultural nuances and forge more genuine and souful connections through the lens.
