Hey Love Studio creates celebratory, cinematic photo and film experiences for queer couples and intentional humans who want their wedding to feel like them. Our work is emotional, movement-rich, and rooted in real connection — not stiff poses or cookie-cutter timelines. We document love as it actually feels: vibrant, intimate, and unapologetically alive.

Stories we’ve been honored to hold
The way people feel around us matters just as much as the work we create.
Here’s what couples across Arkansas, Texas, and beyond have shared about their experience.
— Eva (Newlywed)
We hired Adeline and Valerie to photograph our wedding, and if you haven’t yet—hire them! Not only are they incredible photographers, they’re amazing humans and made the whole process fun and easy. From our first meeting, we knew we’d found the perfect people. They were friendly, flexible, and went above and beyond to help us enjoy our day.
All of our family loved them, and the photos turned out gorgeous. We got sneak peeks right away and all our images in less than a month. We’re so grateful for these memories and highly recommend Hey Love Studio to anyone wanting their special day captured beautifully.
— Brooke (Newlywed)
We couldn’t have asked for better photographers! As an LGBTQ couple, we wanted to work with people who would make us feel completely comfortable and celebrated — and that’s exactly what Adeline & Valerie did. They were kind, affirming, and truly captured our love story in the most genuine way. Every photo radiates warmth, joy, and authenticity. We’re so thankful for their talent and for how beautifully they told our story.
— Hayley (Newlywed)
We are absolutely speechless. From our first call through to receiving our gallery, Adeline and Valerie were truly one of a kind. We hired Hey Love Studio to capture guest portraits and candid moments at our wedding, and Valerie nailed it. She made everyone feel beautiful and delivered a gallery that brought us so much joy.
Our guests loved the printed thank-you photos and the easy-to-access online gallery. Valerie even photographed our rehearsal dinner as a surprise from my bridesmaids, and those photos were just as incredible. We’re so grateful to have these memories and can’t recommend Hey Love Studio enough.
— Ashley (Couple)
One of the first things we did was search for a queer photographer and ended up finding Adeline and Valerie. We are so happy to have chosen them. Adeline and Valerie took couples photos for my wife and I, plus cat and dog! No clue how they do it but they managed to capture the complete joy that we were experiencing and just seemed to make everything so natural. On top of making us feel so comfortable during the shoot, they were always quick to respond, and gave us our photos within a couple days. Cannot recommend them enough!
Have questions? Visit our FAQ →
We typically book 3–6 months in advance for portraits, and 8–12 months for weddings. However, we always welcome last-minute magic when possible. Just fill out our contact form and we will get back to you within 48 hours with our availability. To be fully transparent, March through May and September through November are the busiest months (for some reason people love the perfect weather those months bring), so if your special day falls in those months, email us as soon as you can.
How far in advance should we book?
Yes, we offer photography, videography, and hybrid coverage for weddings, elopements, and affirming sessions. Adeline loves videography and Valerie loves photography. We absolutely would ALWAYS suggest booking us for a hybrid coverage (both photo and video), however we will never say no to just doing one. Personally, we have our wedding photos all over our house printed and framed AND we watch our wedding film every year (and we show off our video to new friends all the time).
Do we do just photo or just video?
Hi bi babes and allies! Hell yes. As cheesy as this is, we love love. We celebrate it loudly and proudly, and if you'd like to have two queer lovers at your wedding to document it, sign us up! Most of our couples who are straight-passing or straight hire us because they have family members in the queer community or prefer a vendor team that has the same values as them. We promise, we know how to pose you, too!
Do we document straight-passing and straight weddings?
We believe in delivering every meaningful moment, so every delivered photo is intentional, candid, and true to you. For weddings, you’ll typically receive 50 to 75 edited images per hour of coverage. Each one is chosen with care so your gallery tells the real story of your day, with no filler, just the moments that matter.
Are you interested in family or couples photography? We'll ensure we capture a variety of angles, groupings, and poses so that each image looks and feels unique.
How many images will we get back?
Trust us when we say we get the magic of finding the perfect place: Valerie grew up in Texas, and could probably map out Dallas-Fort Worth with her eyes closed. Our love for the mountains takes us to the Ozarks in Arkansas every other week. In 2022, we said our own “I dos” in San Francisco. And we fell in love in South Korea!
Every few months, we add over 20,000 miles to our hybrid car, all in the name of love and adventure. Along the way, we’ve built a go-to list of trusted vendors, hidden gems, and local favorites to help make your wedding or elopement stress free and unforgettable.
Whether you’re tying the knot in Dallas, sneaking away to the Ozarks, or celebrating oceanside in California, we bring our experience, energy, and location know-how straight to you. And, we do it all with minimal travel fees (fee free for Dallas, Little Rock, and other select locations!) since celebrating love shouldn’t break the bank.
What if we want to get married somewhere special or travel for our session?
From securing permits to preparing for every “what if,” we’ve got you covered. And if we don’t already have the answer, trust that Valerie will be elbows-deep in research within minutes, because your peace of mind is part of our job.
We handle the weird rules, the logistics, and all the little details you shouldn’t have to stress over. Need tips for your hike? We’ve got a list. Extra water? Already packed. Forgot an officiant? No worries—Valerie’s ordained. With multiple planning calls and our business number a text away, we're reachable day and night.
This is your adventure, and we’re here to make sure it’s seamless, meaningful, and unforgettable.
