About Valentine Manemeit Photography

Valentine

Photographer

Valentine Manemeit Photography specializes in romantic, candid wedding photography with a timeless approach to storytelling. I believe the best photographs don't just show how your wedding looked—they bring you back to how it felt: the anticipation, laughter, happy tears, and quiet moments in between. My approach blends authentic candids with thoughtfully composed portraits, offering direction when you need it while giving you space to simply enjoy your day. Based in Southeastern Connecticut and serving CT, RI, New England & beyond. • LGBTQ+ inclusive • Spanish-speaking • U.S. Navy veteran. Romantic. Candid. Timeless.

What sets me apart is the experience I create. I blend gentle direction with candid storytelling to create beautiful portraits without making your wedding feel like a photoshoot. As a U.S. Navy veteran, I bring adaptability, attention to detail, and calm under pressure. I’m also Spanish-speaking and LGBTQ+ inclusive, creating a welcoming space where every couple can feel comfortable, celebrated, and completely themselves.

    Valentine was absolutely amazing to work with! She made us feel so comfortable and captured our special moments beautifully. Every photo turned out stunning, and you can truly tell how much care and passion she puts into her work. She was professional, patient, and so easy to communicate with throughout the entire process. I’m beyond happy with our photos and will cherish them forever. If you’re looking for a photographer who is talented, kind, and genuinely cares about capturing your memories, I highly recommend Valentine!

No, I prefer focusing on photography only, so you can get the best wedding pictures possible.
Your full wedding gallery will be carefully edited and delivered within 6–8 weeks of your wedding day. I know waiting is hard, so you’ll receive a curated sneak peek within 72 hours to relive a few of your favorite moments while I perfect the rest of your gallery.
I recommend booking your wedding photography 12–18 months in advance, especially for popular spring and fall dates. However, I’m always happy to accommodate shorter timelines when my calendar allows. Your wedding date is officially reserved once your contract is signed and retainer is received.
I do! Just let me know if your venue requires a certificate of liability, and I’ll send that over to them.
Every wedding is unique, so I don’t limit your gallery to a set number of images. On average, you can expect approximately 50–75 carefully edited photographs per hour of coverage. Your final gallery will include the best moments, details, portraits, and candid memories that tell the complete story of your wedding day.
