Hi! I’m Valentina, wedding and portrait photographer
based in the San Francisco East Bay

Fluid. Moody. Spontaneous.

These are the words I use to describe my style.

Movement is everything to me. Ballet was my first passion and that's probably what makes me seek fluidity when I shoot. The movement can come from a hand touching an arm or the wind ruffling the hair, but I always find it magical and I love to stop that instant in a picture.

I believe that there's some moodiness inside each one of us and that's where we are the most vulnerable, where our deep emotions are. That's what I want to express in my work. Deep feelings.

Spontaneity is modern. I think about my mom's wedding album, with all those superposed photos. Does it look honest and emotional? Not really. If you're spontaneous - no worries, making you spontaneous in front of the lens is my job - you'll recognize yourself in the pictures and you'll love them.

LET'S WORK TOGETHER

I can’t do magic by myself, but I can help you find it for all of us. I saw couples amazed by the pics I took and not realizing that they would be not possible if it wasn’t for them. You are creators of those pictures as much as I am.

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY ABOUT ME

I found Valentina on a whim via IG, and when my then-fiance and I met her, I knew we made the right decision in picking her to shoot our wedding day. Call it golden auras or good energy, she had it going on. I love the fact that we put our trust in her to direct us and also pick our secondary location, which made for ridiculously beautiful photos. She made us feel comfortable in front of the lens and created magical shots that I never could have imagined. We love our photos and would recommend her without hesitation.

Valentina shot engagement photos for us in San Francisco and she is super talented! Her creative eye got us the most beautiful shots and I love the way she gave us a little direction so we knew what to do. Very helpful for people who aren't that comfortable in front of the camera. We absolutely love our photos and would highly recommend Valentina.

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY ABOUT ME

Sensibilità, delicatezza, umiltà, professionalità; sono solo alcuni degli aggettivi che userei per descrivere Valentina. Alla sensibilità artistica di Valentina si può affidare ciò che si ha di più prezioso. Quello che lei restituirà sarà un attimo destinato a rimanere per sempre eterno, senza tempo e senza età. Valentina è profonda ed è una interprete sopraffina di quell'arte magica che si chiama 'fotografia'. Gli scatti realizzati per noi hanno un posto d'onore nei nostri cuori e nei nostri ricordi. Grazie ancora per la bellissima esperienza.

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY ABOUT ME

Valentina è una professionista. Perchè se la tecnica fotografica si può imparare, l'occhio e il cuore che ci sono nei suoi scatti sono unici. Inoltre sa davvero mettere a proprio agio le persone, rendendo anche i più restii capaci di stare bene davanti alla macchina fotografica. Superconsigliata.
