Virginia Wedding Photographer Joey and I love photographing weddings in Virginia, but we also love to travel! Last year alone we traveled (for weddings) to over 10 different states! It was so amazing and also a little tiring! This is one of those weddings that we had to travel a little ways for, but we […]

As 2018 comes to a close, I think of all the amazing couples Joey and I were blessed to work with this year! One of my favorite weddings was both incredibly fun and artistically challenging as photographers. If you’ve ever been to an aquarium before, you know there are vibrant colors EVERYWHERE! We had to […]

Our Disney Trip!!! Last month, Joey and I had two Florida weddings, (blogs to come!!!) one on Saturday, and then one the next Friday. We decided to make a Disney Trip between the two. We invited our good friends, Holly and Dave who are the biggest Disney fans we’ve ever seen! We love Disney too […]

I am truly blown away at the amazing couples that we have worked with this year! Glen and Alex were our last wedding for 2018 and we ended this season in West Palm Beach! HOW FUN! These two swiped right over three years ago and the rest is history!   Throughout this year, it has […]

Joey and I have been to some fun weddings the past few years, but this wedding was one of our favorites! We’ve never seen so much dancing at a wedding! Raeneice and Rodney sure knew what they were doing and it was so much fun to be a part of!   When we first arrived […]

  We had first come into contact with Madison about a year ago through a contest we had. Madison and Connor met through a mutual friend (one Madison has had since kindergarten!) and Madison described it as “God’s plan” and “the way He brought us together was nothing short of a blessing”. I love hearing […]

  When I heard about Mike and Deanna’s story, I was so incredibly happy to be working with them! These two are so cute together and their wedding was perfect!   Deanna and Mike met at a ski resort in high school and quickly fell in love! After a few years, Deanna left for New […]

Have you ever ran a marathon? Imagine how difficult it would be… Then imagine meeting your husband (or wife) while running that marathon. That’s the story of Ed and Dorothy! Not only did they meet during a marathon, they also got engaged during one! (Not the same one though…)   From the moment we met […]

Joey and I drove to our friend BreAnna’s house the night before Erica and Alex’s beautiful wedding! We stayed the night before their wedding and got to catch up with my sweet college friend and her husband. It’s so nice being wedding photographers because it allows Joey and I to be flexible with our schedule […]

Samantha and Don McCarty had their beautiful wedding in St. Simons surrounded by sweet friends and family! When Samantha booked Valorie Kelley Studios as the photographer she shared about her and Don owning a business remodeling homes together! So basically they are Chip and Joanna Gaines but in their free time they go hiking! Actually, […]

This project was LONG overdue! Joey and I love having people over and so we made our living room, dining room, spare bedroom and kitchen a unique and fun area to be in but did nothing to the master bedroom. I’m talking no artwork on the walls, poor layout, cluttered with furniture and the most […]

The day Amelia told me about being pregnant was such an exciting surprise! Amelia and I go way back… like 9 years old! We immediately hit it off over a Harry Potter book and the rest is history! Her love for the Lord is evident in everything she does. Her story is incredible and I […]

Ben and Kate met at PENN State while on the Rugby team! I had no idea how big of a community Rugby has! Ben and Kate began their day at separate locations but watching the same thing… Sixers playing the Heat! These two love their sports and having fun together! Their wedding venue was the […]

Matthew and Elizabeth’s wedding was held at the beautiful Camellia Gardens right outside of Charlotte, NC. Elizabeth’s laugh was contagious and made pictures a blast! One of the first things I noticed walking in to the bridal suite was Moana playing in the background and all of the pretty custom Disney robes! Liz and Matthew had […]

Hey There! Wedding Photography is the coolest thing! I work with joyful brides on the most exciting day of theirs lives capturing all of the beautiful details and emotions of their wedding! It’s just really hard to beat that! However, when I’m not behind the camera on a wedding day, you can probably find me […]

  Psalm 68:5 says, “Father of the fatherless and protector of widows, is God in his holy habitation.” He who numbers the hairs on our head will certainly not turn away from the children living as orphans, and this should inspire us to act. Growing up, the Lord gave me (Valorie) a heart to one day […]

I HAD THE HONOR TO SERVE THE PEOPLE OF FLORIDA WHO HAD SUFFERED DEVASTATION FROM HURRICANE IRMA. WHEN I LEFT FOR THIS JOURNEY, I HAD NO IDEA THE BLESSINGS I WOULD RECEIVE FROM SERVING IN THIS CAPACITY. DISASTER RELIEF WAS VERY HOT, DIRTY, AND DIFFICULT BUT ABSOLUTELY NEEDED.  ON SEPTEMBER 23, I LOADED IN A […]
