WEDDING ALBUMS
Some of the special days we´ve been privileged to capture
Every love story is unique, and we are honored to capture the magic of each special day. Our wedding albums preserve the joy, emotion, and unforgettable moments that make your celebration one of a kind. From heartfelt vows to lively celebrations, each image tells a story you’ll cherish forever.
I do my best to respond to all emails within 24-48 hours during business hours (Monday–Friday). If you don’t hear back from me after that, feel free to follow up—sometimes messages get buried, and I never want to miss yours!
Two photographers, unless a catastrophic event happens Val guarantees to always be at your event.
Yes! I edit all of my own images—it’s a huge part of how I keep everything true to my style. I like to make sure each photo gets that extra bit of love before it lands in your gallery.
Life happens, and I totally understand! If you need to reschedule your wedding, just let me know as soon as possible. I’ll do my best to accommodate your new date. If I’m available, your retainer will simply transfer over. We’ll figure it out together! 💛
This is such an important question—and the answer is yes! As a wedding photographer, I’m experienced in capturing beautiful images in all kinds of lighting and settings, with all kinds of people. Weddings move fast, and I’m proud to be able to adapt quickly while still creating stunning, timeless images. You can see a wide range of my work in the Portfolio or Wedding Albums section, where I’ve shared highlights from a ton of weddings that Ive photographed.
We try our best to blend in, but not look like we’re attending a funeral. Mostly black and darker clothes like dress pants and a shirt are a staple along with cute, but comfy shoes.
Super simple! Just fill out the contact form on my website. From there, we’ll chat, go over the collection options, and once you’re ready, a signed contract and retainer officially lock in your date.
We guarantee delivery within 16 weeks of your event date, but we typically deliver them within 8-10 weeks (depending on the time of the year). Engagement sessions are guaranteed in 4 weeks, but we typically them deliver around 2-3 weeks.
I never put a limit on how many photos I take—I shoot digitally, so there’s no limit! On average, you’ll receive about 100 fully edited images per hour of coverage. I definitely capture more than that, but I take the time to sort through and remove any blinks, test shots, or duplicates. Every image you get is carefully edited for color, exposure, sharpness, and white balance to make sure they look their best.
Our schedules are typically booked up 12 months in advance.
Our clients will receive a private online gallery, where they may view/share/order their images. You can also download the full resolution files through this gallery.
Wedding collections start at $2,700 for our elopement packages, with most couples investing around $3,795 for our two photographer packages.
To officially reserve your wedding date with VJBurgosPhotography, a 50% retainer and a signed electronic contract are required. The remaining balance is due 30 days prior to the wedding. We’re happy to offer flexible payment options along the way, and you’ll have access to an online client portal to easily track your payments and balance.
Absolutely! We’re happy to provide your venue with proof of insurance whenever needed.
The ideal time for a maternity session is between 28 to 34 weeks. At this stage, your bump is beautifully round, but you’re still (hopefully!) feeling comfortable enough to enjoy the experience. Of course, every pregnancy is different, and I’m happy to work with your timeline.
Absolutely! I’ll guide you every step of the way to help you feel confident and relaxed. My goal is to capture natural, heartfelt moments that reflect your unique glow and connection.
The best time to photograph newborns is within the first 5-14 days after birth. During this window, babies are extra sleepy and love to curl up into those sweet, womb-like poses. That said, I welcome older newborns too—every baby and every story is unique!
Sessions typically last 2-3 hours to allow plenty of time for feeding, soothing, and snuggles. I keep everything relaxed and baby-led, so we can go at their pace.
I use all Canon cameras and lenses to ensure the highest quality images, and I always bring backup gear, because being prepared is part of the job! Here’s my list of toys: Canon R5 Canon R6, Canon 135mm f/2 L, Canon 50mm f/1.2 L, Canon RF 28-70 f/2, Canon RF 35mm, and 85mm.
