Valerie was amazing to work with! She photographed our wedding and was so kind and detail oriented. The photos came out great, and she was more than happy to adjust some of the editing for us when we asked! We even purchased the package that included scrapbooks and we procrastinated following up with it, but over a year later she was still eager to make them for us and hand delivered them to our door with the sweetest note and goodies. Anybody would be lucky to work with her!!

That is why I work with all my amazing couples from the time we first meet until they have fabulous keepsake prints in hand. (I mean, you're not taking your photos, so why would I expect you to choose a printer and design your own album?!) I'll guide you through every step so you don't have to worry about a thing! Simply enjoy your day with each other and your loved ones and let the magic in!

We’re here to help. We’ve talked brides down from ledges, helped caterers break down tables, and pinned boutonnieres onto tuxedos. We’ll laugh, bring the fun, and always keep our heads even when something goes wrong. At Studio Veil, we think of ourselves as ducks on water. We may be crazy kicking underneath to keep things rolling smoothly, but above the water, we’ll always stay calm and collected

I was born and raised in Minnesota and absolutely love being able to photograph in the 4 seasons we have here! I have had a passion for photography since I was a little girl and owned a little blue Sony digital camera. I would capture times spent with family on vacation and take pictures with my friends. My mom got me into scrap booking at a young age, so I knew growing up I wanted to continue capturing all the special moments of not only my life but now others too!

Morgan took great photos! She was helpful all the way through and captured our wedding!

Photography literally means “writing with light.” So above all, my job is to tell a story. Your story. And your story is best told when you are being you. Therefore, photography needs to be about capturing what’s there; the things that are easily seen, and things that may not initially be seen. I want to capture the natural, candid moments; life as it happens. Friends, family, loved ones- in laughter, and in tears. I prefer to capture things naturally, but I feel more than comfortable creating moments when necessary. I always strive to give my clients a strong variety of pictures they can choose from.

I want to capture the real, authentic beauty you both share.

Together, we’ll eternalize your favorite chapter of your grand love story: trading “I Do”s and becoming (travel) partners for life. If going out into the world without a map or a plan and coming back with a gallery of unique images that represent you sounds like a dream come true, you just met your match.
