We hired Valentin for the whole day of our wedding and boy did he come through. He is a man of few words, but just let him do his thing. We recently received our pictures and they are phenomenal. He was able to capture moments that I didn't even know of. He is basically an artist with his photography and we were lucky to have him.

Here is my review on my overall experience. I was a bit disappointed in how our wedding photos turned out. He did take a lot of photos and provide all of the proofs, which was a huge plus and also the reason why we had decided to go with Val. He provided the photos in a timely manner, but when we received the photos and went through them... we were a little bit disappointed.

During the photoshoot, we hoped that the photographer would be a little proactive and tell us what to do based on the examples we had provided, but he was a bit soft spoken. We don't know much about professional photography, so we couldn't give much direction on what would look great. We were hoping for him to provide us with some advise and be in control a bit since he is "the professional." I felt that the overall experience was like something i would experience from a new photographer.

I went with the whole, you get what you pay for mentality when I had chosen this photographer. He was a bit on the higher side and seemed like he knew what he was doing. I was wrong because I feel that I overpaid quite a bit after seeing the results. We received a lot of pictures from him, but while going through the photos, a lot of them had issues that you would think that would be caught. A few examples, throughout the pictures, we caught several pictures with eyes closed, off center shots of us, a couple shots with uneven gaps between wedding party. That one was the most frustrating picture, we got a few with huge gaps between the groomsmen and the groom and on the other side there were no gaps for the bridesmaid. We had single shots of everyone in the wedding party, but Val forgot to take a picture of the groom. This is a special day that is done only once and I just feel that i was a bit ripped off since we can not go back and redo anything. I had sent the photographer an email explaining the situation and he hasn't replied at all. Definitely do more research before picking your photographer.
