Valerie Lisuk Photography

CHOOSE THEM !!!

I was a October 2025 Bride and was so scared about the planning aspect of everything. However after talking with Valerie ( the photographer) and Pasha ( her husband/officiant) my Husband and I felt comfortable to book with them and we are beyond glad we did.

They really helped with everything and made it completely stress free. They did the location scouting ahead of time to really get a feel and idea of how the pictures would look in the scenery, not only that but they hand crafted a itinerary of the day so there would be no surprises. They even recommended lots of vendors as well some were Florists, MUA's and Hairstylists that can help you craft your special day even more so.

It truly felt like Valerie and Pasha cared and that is something I will not forget, every email, message and exchange felt very personalable and hand crafted to your special day. From the start they are invested in your guyses vision.

Our day was magical, we did a elopmenent ceremony in Newport Oregon on the coast, and had an amazing time. Valerie did her thing and Pasha kept the vibes going with a custom sound track for your special day. The vibes were ✨ immaculate✨ with a lot of laughs.

We just received our sneak peeks and honestly I couldn't have asked for anything better. I can't wait to get my full gallery come December. Valerie's style is very much Candid and documentary with a touch of whismy to really capture all the emotions. If this is what you are looking for, look no further !

Stress free, Officiant service, affordable photography and beautiful memories. We really couldn't of asked for much more. 💗

We searched for a long time for a photographer. We wanted just the two of us at our wedding so I knew how important it would be to find a photographer who could really capture the day so we could share it with our family and friends, Valerie and Pasha exceeded our expectations!! Leading up to our wedding they provided us with so much helpful info and checklists of stuff to bring. We FaceTimed them a couple times and always felt incredibly comfortable. The day of our wedding they gave us enough guidance, but also enough space to truly have the most perfect day!!❤️ They made it so fun and captured all the intimate moments, the emotions behind it and the love between us. We are so grateful we will forever have such beautiful photos!!!

Valerie is truly one of a kind. She managed to capture our love in a way that feels so tangible- you can see the laughter, connection, and joy my fiancé and I share in every frame.

This was our very first time being professionally photographed, and Valerie (alongside her husband, Pasha) made it so fun and easy. She gave us clear, simple direction while still encouraging us to add our own “spin,” which made everything feel natural and true to us. Pasha even set the mood with background music - picture Lord of the Rings: The Shire blending into Pirates of the Caribbean - at a waterfall! It honestly felt like we were living inside a fairytale.

The final photos? Absolutely jaw-dropping. From the sweeping waterfall shots to the quiet, intimate moments in the forest, every image looks cinematic and timeless. Valerie made the entire process relaxed, magical, and unforgettable.

I couldn’t recommend Valerie enough. If you want photos that are beyond beautiful and an experience that feels effortless and fun, she’s the one.

We are from Alabama and when we started the journey to elope at North Cascades National Park, we had NO IDEA what stranger to entrust in documenting our unique day. SO many options, SO many fears! I read reviews after reviews on countless photographers and while majority were all good things, I still had the thought “but what if I’m not as lucky to get that same positive experience as these reviewers?”. I searched MONTHS, and finally came across Valerie Lisuk Photography.

Her photography style immediately caught my eye and when I reached out to her, her warmth and friendliness sold me! Thank goodness I listened to my instincts bc she had my back from start to finish.

Throughout the entire planning process she was there with open arms. Always available to answer questions, video chatting me so we could get to know one another, and providing VERY helpful reading material to help even more with my planning process.
Valerie and Pasha made us introverts feel so comfortable the day of. Definitely cant leave out her trusty assistant and hubby, Pasha! He made my extremely nervous fiancé come right out of his shell with his wonderful sense of humor and down-to-earth personality. He officiated us and handled our paperwork afterwards with the county which was so helpful. The two of them together made such an excellent team.

Flash forward to now after receiving my sneak peek pics.. HOLY COW they are everything I hoped they would be and more! My husband and I are clueless when it comes to photoshoots but you dang sure can’t tell it in the photos! Haha, we look like we belong in a magazine!! Makes me even more excited to see the rest.

With all this being said.. 10/10 recommend. I never (and I mean never lol) leave reviews, but they deserved this lengthy one. If you made it to the bottom of this, take my word for it when I say TRUST them, BOOK them! You won’t regret it. These pictures and this experience was so worth missing out on a traditional wedding.

Thank you again Pasha and Valerie! We left Washington feeling as if we gained a new set of friends!!

Valerie and Pasha are AMAZING! From start to finish they were very good at answer questions, communicating, and being informative about any and everything. They definitely make the experience well worth it and are very professional and fun. They made the process easy and made sure we got everything we wanted out of it. We could not have been more thrilled with our decision to use them. You can really tell they have a passion for what they do and are VERY good at it. Not only did Valerie allow me to have my bouquet shipped to her so I did not have to travel with it but we also received our sneak peek photos within 24 hours of our session and they exceeded our expectations! Pasha even sent us some behind the scenes footage, which we loved! I could not recommend them fast enough! Thank you Valerie and Pasha!!

Highly recommend Valerie and Pasha!!

We live in another state but we decided to elope on the Oregon coast (we both had only visited once prior so we were definitely unfamiliar with locations vendors etc). There’s so many different photographers across the PNW so it was very overwhelming at first but when I came across Valerie’s pictures, I fell in love with her style.

Valerie and Pasha both did an amazing job curating a list of locations for us to narrow down, and honestly captured my exact vision for the day. They truly made us feel comfortable and I’m so glad we chose them!!

They were able to give us some videos the same night so we could share them with family members as soon as possible. Then we received TONS of amazing sneak peaks just 2 days later, I was absolutely not expecting them that soon and I know she must’ve worked very hard to deliver that.

Pasha was our officiant and handled all the paperwork to get our marriage certificate, so it was seriously so easy and non stressful.

I honestly can’t say enough good things about them, they truly made the entire elopement so stress free and the photos came back incredible.

Do yourself a favor and just book with Valerie. Pasha and her are amazing, easy to work with, and really care about making sure your day is the absolutely best day it can be. They spend the time to get to know you, understand what you want, and do everything they can to make that happen. They were there every step of the way with suggestions, ideas, and lists of people to help. On top of this they are the cutest couple. Their kind nature will help settle any situations down and put everyone at ease.

Also Valerie is an amazing photographer. She is full of ideas and really makes the shot count. For example, one of the pics below is in a field of flowers. This was not on the list though. This was just a random field in a public area that she spotted the day before while driving in. It was a spur of the moment thing and ended with some of our favorite photos. She will guide you into position effortlessly so you don't even feel like you are being directed and then grab the perfect picture. Just truly amazing

We can’t thank them enough.
