Hey there!
I'm Val fernandez!
Your wedding photographer
Am I a person you would want around you for hours on your special day?
I'm a bold romantic and an adventurer! Capturing the connection between two people in love, in sometimes totally epic surroundings feels so absolutely right! It's an honor being let into someone's happiest place and being entrusted with capturing the essence of their happiness.
Sharing my passion with legends like you, designing and photographing special days for those who live with a pulse and love with every heartbeat fills me up, beyond words, with excitement, joy and gratitude.
So, grab yourself a coffee, a tea, or a kombucha, cold bear, glass of wine, whatever make you happiest; get comfy, and let's talk about your special day! Let's craft a tailor-made experience just for you! Let's daydream together, in anticipation of the magic we'll create and the priceless memories we'll capture!
MORE THAN JUST A PHOTOGRAPHER
YOUR LOCAL EXpERT, your girl on the ground and a friendly support
I'll come alongside you the minute we start chatting about the wedding day of your dreams (the consult is free). That's when we open the gates to all possibilities and the magic begins... As we get to know each other, you'll get to tell me all about your vision for this wonderful day, why you want it that way, how I can serve you in order to make it happen just the way you imagined it, and how I can capture it so you can get all those feelings back time and times again, year after year!
A destination wedding with only the ones you hold dearest is a day that should be truly memorable; from the moment you open your eyes and check out all the possible shades of blue outside, to the moment you take your wedding dress and clothes out of the closet; from the moment you say your vows with sandy toes to the moment you kiss your spouse in the salty breeze, from the moment you have your first champagne toast to the moment you watch the sunset on the ocean and the stars lighting up, snuggled up together, not wanting this moment to ever end...
It's all an experience.
One that I want to help you with bringing every detail to life.
ONE THAT I WANT TO go above and beyond to capture for you,
because I believe wholeheartedly in the preciousness of this day.
that it should be all about you.
that you deserve it to be a dream and for that dream to be forever remembered.
WHY I LOVE smaller DESTINATION weddings
BECAUSE THEY ARE A 100% "US" WEDDING
I believe that the best weddings are measured by the moments we share with the people we hold closest to our hearts and that small weddings are the absolute BEST way to celebrate your union and commit to each other for a lifetime. Because they are imagined and brought to life with only what truly matters in mind.
I love intimate weddings because they truly give you the chance to make the beginning of this journey an adventure, a celebration that is unique and true to you, true to your love and true to your story. Because they give you the freedom to decide, and the time to make it happen.
You could wake up and go for a surf, or paddle out in the sunrise before enjoying coffee on the beach. You could hike up a waterfall and be back in time to greet your hair and makeup artist, get pampered and join your crew for the most heartfilled ceremony.
THIS DAY IS YOURS.
I believe it can be as magical as you want to make it, and I would be honored to be there to capture every bit of it.
WHY would i want a full coverage of my wedding day?
This is not your typical, exhausting and staged photo session full of awkward smiles and frustration. this is something else entirely.
If you have looked at my portfolio, you have seen the raw, intimate, playful, happy, emotional, moments that I capture. These moments cannot be staged, commanded or faked.
That's the beauty of my approach to wedding photography: it's never about looking at my camera, or smiling at me, taking a pose or forcing someone to laugh out of the blue. While I will guide you through your portrait sessions, I will use every trick up my sleeve -and I have plenty, including taking a step back, giving you space and letting a beautiful moment unfold before my quiet eyes- to capture you two BEING YOU, genuinely you, beautifully you, simply you, with the one and ones you adore and who adore you back!
That's the true value of the photos I capture and services I offer: they are true. True moments. Moments that belong to you, that you have shared with your most loved one and ones, in your truest, most authentic and vulnerable self. Moments that you deserve to be able to cherish and relive forever.
Memories like that can only be captured when there is trust between you and me. When I have become invested in who you are, how you live life and how you do love. That's why my packages start with 3 hours of coverage minimum, and that's why I wholeheartedly believe you deserve more than that, you deserve to have this unique, memorable day fully covered. Am I right?!
so how does this work?

JULIE-ANDREE & ARISTIDE
Valerie provided my wife and I with an incredible, adventurous, and unforgettable wedding day experience. She was with us from the start of the day, where she captured some amazing photographs of our beach wedding ceremony, organised a food hamper (including some fantastic locally made chocolates), and provided local knowledge as she whisked us across the island for photography in stunning locations, including a huge rainforest waterfall and even some underwater photography in ocean rock pools. The photos turned out to be absolutely stunning. Valerie's amazing energy, and enthusiasm for providing for us cannot be overstated. Thank you so much Valerie!
PETER & NATASHA
Valerie’s amazing pictures are a wonderful memory of our unique day! Now after some weeks passed by, looking at them is like going back as a visitor and noticing all the wonderful details around! Valerie made this historic event available for eternity. I love them so much and honor the passion she works with, knowing, that the real work always comes after the shooting. Amazing woman with a lot of qualities and professionalism. It is an honor to have had Valerie Fernandez as our wedding photographer!!!!! Thank you so much!
VERENA & WOLFGANG
I'll tell the whole story of your adventure elopement or intimate wedding over two days, flying in the day before to photograph all the pre-wedding fun (up to 6 hours of coverage), and carrying on the next day from start to finish (up to 12 hours of coverage). We could explore as many locations as you want, do the most fun activities -including diving in crystal clear blue holes, swimming in wild waterfalls or hiking up an active volcano! You could exchange your vows barefoot on the beach down your resort bungalow, or somewhere incredible that just feels right, all on your own or with your closest and dearest. This gives you the chance to explore Vanuatu in all its richness and diversity and get this memorable time together all preciously documented.
