I'm Val

Welcome to my studio

For over a decade, I chased light with a camera weddings, families, brands, commercial work. Thousands of moments across thousands of stories. That breadth taught me something no single genre ever could: that every human moment carries its own quiet language.

And then one day, I picked up a brush. Where photography freezes light, oil painting holds feeling. My photographic eye is in every painting I make the composition, the emotional centre, the details only you would notice.

The Book

A wedding lasts a day.What it means lasts forever.

The Promise is a book about what remains the traditions that hold us, the photographs that capture us, and the paintings that keep us long after everything else fades. Part photography, part paint, part love letter to the rituals that have carried couples through centuries.

This book is currently in development.
