— 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!
