Val Solo Photography & Video

All of my pictures were beautiful. I can't stop looking at them. Loved working with Julia.

Val gave us everything we were asking for. He kept us on schedule and produced beautiful, creative shots. He also has a great sense of humor and kept everyone calm.

Val solo and his team were great to work with. Val was amazing and made this process go very smooth and not crazy for us. After our wedding we went back 5 days later to pick up proofs , which we were in love with. Julia and Dan were both very patient with our crazy wedding party! It was a lot of fun working with them. We will be sticking with Val Solo for all of our special events!

Thank you,
Val, Julia and Dan

My cousin referred us to Val Solo Photography & Videography. Her wedding photos and video were wonderful. Val Solo really is a genuine person and works with you and your budget. We really liked the way our engagement photos came out that we couldn't wait to see the photos from our wedding. When we got back from our honeymoon we made an appointment and had all our photos on cd. We are still going through all the photos and narrowing them down for our album is really tough being that they are all so good. We haven't seen our wedding video yet, but I am sure that Val's wife did a wondeful job capturing every moment. In the beginning we weren't sure whether or not to have video, but Val worked with us and it will be good memories for generations to come. He answered all our questions and concerns. I highly recommend Val Solo Photography & Videography and look forward to using them again in the future.

Val was very professional, organized and on point when it came to time. His photographer Julia was the same she was amazing, and very patient with all the chaos of getting everyone together with the bridal party and the price for the service can not be beat. Can't wait to see the final pictures. Thanks Val & Julia!

I am happy with my choice of photographers and look forward to seeing my album!

Val and his team were great to work with. They were very professional and organized. I can't wait to see the photos!

Val and his partner were FANTASTIC! VERY professional and didn't miss a shot! They made sure they got every angle and every person at our wedding. Our pictures are GORGEOUS and he doesn't charge and arm and a leg for an AMAZING JOB!!! He is very generous and not dedicated to his work, he will work with you and customize any package you like. I would recommend Val Solo to EVERYONE!!! Thank you SOOOOOO Much Val, you held true to EVERYTHING you said you would do!!!

Val solo did an amazing job on all of our photography for our wedding! I highly reccommend them for video and photography

Working with Val and his team was a pleasure. They were very through and professional. Everyone at the wedding had nothing but good things to say about his team and we loved our pictures and video. Thank you Val for capturing the most important event in our lives to date!!

Val was great! After meeting with a few different local photographers I decided to go with him because he offered the best price for great work; and I was not disappointed. I had my wedding at Perona Farms and everything went smoothly the day of the wedding. I will say that I wish he offered some one the newer type of wedding albums - like the magazine type. 8x10 - 30 picture album is a little old school. He was a little bossy with the wedding party in how to stand and look, even to my little flower girl of 4 years old. But overall I was pleased with the outcome of his work.

Pictures took for ever and even with a list of wanted pictures some were forgotten, you can't get that day back.

I know this is long, so I will tell you if I endorse them or not: Val Solo & his company has my HIGHEST recommendations. Read on if you need further convincing…
I went to Val Solo, unsure of what I wanted. To save money, my husband and I were about to hire some “new” photographers (who were starting out in the business of photography), but we stopped into Val’s just to compare prices. Once I stopped in there, without an appointment or anything, I was hooked. His kindness and professionalism took my and my husband’s breath away. He told us a little about what he could offer, and told us to take our time reviewing his offers, so we could select what we wanted. He did not make us choose from a preset package, but he created a price based on the things we wanted. We needed photography and videography, and he showed us samples of his brilliant work. I knew right away he was the one who had everything we needed. He was mindful of our budget, and gave us a terrific package that we couldn’t refuse. It was even cheaper than the estimated price those new photographers were giving us, and we were now getting much more for our dollar!
On the day we went to get our FREE engagement pictures taken, he practiced some poses he was going to use for our wedding day. This way we were more natural and we felt comfortable with his way of working. We also got together to discuss which engagement picture he was going to use for our FREE signed picture frame (one with a white boarder, so our family and friends could sign it the day of our wedding). Needless to say, by the time our wedding came around, we were so comfortable with him (AND his lovely wife, Nina, who was fortunately our videographer). Getting both photography and videography at the same place was so important in the end, because we were comfortable with the family owned business and they made both into one affordable price.
At the wedding, both Nina and Val were on the same page (since they are a happily married couple) and neither got in the other’s way. They made both sides of the family feel great about the way they looked and being in front of the camera. The shots they took were so creative, and everyone still says how artistic my album came out. Knowing how nervous we were going to be the day of the wedding, both Val and his wife were extremely pleasant and comforting. They made us laugh and gave pointers on how things should run. Everything went perfect. They followed my limo to the park, took pictures (which were STUNNING), and went ahead to our venue. They set up before me and my guests arrived. Both of them took pictures of me and my entire wedding party coming out of the limo…and that was just the beginning.
Because of Val, I now have two beautiful keepsakes: my wedding album and my wedding video. I can relive those cherished moments with my husband, and hopefully with our grandchildren one day. Both my husband’s parents, and mine, have a beautiful family picture hanging in their houses, because Val suggested it as a token of our gratitude.
I can truly go on and on about Val, but hopefully you get the idea…go with him if you want a perfect photographer, and I also highly suggest his wife for your videographer! Great Luck! =)

My husbands best friend had selected val and used him for his wedding, we had both booked the same photographer (for different dates ) and not even realized it until the day of the first wedding! we chose Val for his BEAUTIFUL pictures and his unique way of capturing the perfect moment. The only problem we have is that now we have so many BEAUTIFUL photos that we can't decide which ones to choose!!

Val Solo Photography is awesome. The pictures and the dvd came out absoulutely great. And what's best is that your get all the rights to your pictures so you can print whatever pictures out you want.

Defin would recommend them :)

Val Solo Photography and Video is fantastic! They were able to capture every moment of our special day without being too invasive. We have beautiful pictures to last a lifetime and we couldn’t be more grateful. Thanks again Val. :o)

We booked Val Solo for our wedding last october and we could not have been happier!!!! His work is flawless and thanks to him we have the best wedding album we could have ever imagined! He has done a couple of our family and friends weddings as well and his work is amazing! He is extremely professional and really does an excellent job in getting great shots of everyone. We would strongly reccomend him for anyones big event. Words really can not describe his work and if i could post my album I'm confident that all questions would be answered!

Loved Val! I got great photos to remember my wedding and he made it very easy to customize the package that was right for me plus I got all the originals (1900 photos!). A few of my co-workers used Val Solo for their wedding as well and they all had the same response!

Not only did our photographs turn out beautiful, our albums were perfect, and our package was custom fit to our needs (divorced parents = and odd number of parent albums!)

When we received the wedding video, we were equally pleased with its quality. Val and his family were a pleasure to work with, and it was great working directly with the photographer instead of being given the run around from a big company!

We booked Val Solo after I went to over 15 photographers, who would not let me own my prints. His packages are very very reasonable. Our engagement pictures were taken right away because we wanted to use them at our engagmenent party. We went to Weekhawken and were given a cd of over 200 pictures and we got 3 8x10. After that I knew we chose the right photographer for our wedding. We filled out a day of form 2 months before the wedding and did not follw up. The day of the wedding Val came extra early the groom's mom's house & then came early to the bride's house. He followed almost every single item I had listed on my day of form. He was by far our favorite vendor of the day!!! After the wedding, we received our cd of 2,500 wedding pictures, we were given a website of 300 pictures, I chose a 70 picture album and within a week I was sent my album preview. I did make changes that cost 10 each but that was my fault for choosing incorrect pictures! I received my album less than 3 months after our wedding! I did not like the quality of the thank yous so I chose to make my own which was fine since I owed all of my images. I would absolutley recommend this photographer if you are looking for alot of pictures at a reasonable price!!

These guys are the best! You get the best bang for your buck with them. No one is more personable & professional than Val Solo's team. You will not be disappointed! They captured our wedding beautifully. Can't recall a bad shot! Love them!!!

Val did a great job with out pictures and Video. He is very passionate about his work so the result is outstanding. I do recommend Val solo photography

Just loved everything about our entire photography experience from start to finish. The price was great and the photographs came out so beautiful. I especially liked that I received a copy of all the photos that were taken. I would recommend using Val Solo.

If you are looking for stunning photographs, choose Val Solo Photography! They were absolutely wonderful throughout the entire wedding process. Some of my guests commented that they didn't even notice the photographers on the wedding day, meanwhile they took over 2,000 shots! They are extremely talented and created an absolutely gorgeous album for us!

Will review at a later time.

We worked with Julia Solo as the photographer for our engagement pictures and wedding day and she did an absolutely amazing job! She was able to single-handedly capture every single moment that was important to us. She was professional from beginning to end. What was particularly noteworthy about Julia is that she was there at all the right times and yet not invasive. People continue to tell us that they didn't even know she was there and yet she captured every moment. That is truly a compliment to be able to capture every moment without invading everyone's space! As far as we are concerned her talent is unsurpassed. We continue to receive compliments on the unique magazine-style wedding album that Julia put together for us. In our opinion, it is one of the highest quality albums you can obtain. In terms of turnaround time, our wedding was September 6th and we received our proofs by September 30th. We still can't believe how quickly we received our proofs. In fact, the hardest part for us was making our selections as there were so many pictures we loved! We would highly recommend Julia to anyone we know who is getting married.

Val captured every moment of our wedding day and with over 2000 pictures to choose from for our album we couldn't have been more pleased with his work.

Val Solo was great!! We got wonderful pictures and just watched our video. We were so pleased with the way it came out! We can't wait to watch it again.
They were flexible with us as well. We didn't want to do the traditional parent albums, so we did folio's instead and they were just like we imagined them.
Thanks Val Solo Photography!!

Val Solo was our photographer and his wife was the videographer. We haven't seen our photo's or video yet, but I know they will turn out great. They positioned us in fun and creative poses. They worked very hard and were there for 9 hours taking all kinds of pictures. We also LOVED our engagement album. Val has a very artistic eye and can capture each moment and make it look so special. He is incredible to work with and had everyone smiling with his jokes.

Val Solo was wonderful! My husband and I couldn't be happier. I searched for months and months for a good photographer with a price tag we could afford and I selected Val Solo based on those factors. The price I paid for photography and Video was the same price I received for just Photography elsewhere. Val is about 100 miles from me and I still selected him because of his excellent service. His work is amazing. There was about 2000 pictures taken and we received all of them on a disk. Our portrait is absolutely georgous and the wedding album and video are even better, if there is such a thing. Every time I show my wedding album, people are amazed at the quality. I would highly recommend Val Solo Photography and Video for any event, especially a Wedding!!

They are wonderful people to work with, and you get to meet them in advance for a free engagement photo session. They have great ideas for pictures and are very patient with you while explaining the poses and getting the pictures to be perfect. They give you a CD with all of the photos from the wedding. They took over 1200 pictures!

Val Solo did a wonderful job photographing my daughter’s wedding. We had a lovely day for an outdoor ceremony and the pictures are absolutely beautiful. Mr. Solo arranged for the bride and groom to see each other in a picturesque setting just before the ceremony …his photos captured their emotions perfectly. He and his daughter both arrived early and took an amazing number of exquisite pictures, recording almost every moment of the day. Val Solo was both fun and professional as he posed the wedding party, snapped the ceremony, and captured so many touching moments of the reception.
My daughter and her husband are thrilled with the photos and the proofs were ready right after their honeymoon. Mr. Solo edited and arranged their album so that each page is a beautiful memory.
When my artistic daughter first saw the photographs on Val Solo’s website she knew that his high quality work and creativity were just what she wanted, and she was right.

My husband and I had a great experience with Val Solo Photography & Video and would recommend them. Julia was our Photographer & his wife was our Videographer and they did a wonderful job. They took over 1,400 pictures and made my album look phenomenal! I couldn't believe how reasonable their prices were compare to many other vendors. Val Solo Photography exceeded our expectations. My photo's were outstanding and I loved how Julia caught every moment of my special day.

We had Julia as our photographer. What can I say she was great! The entire company was great to work with.

We couldn't have been happier with our engagement photos, wedding photos, and beautiful wedding album! Each time we met with Val, he'd always make us smile and laugh. My husband and I get a little camera shy sometimes, but Val made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera--this makes the photos look so natural, fun, and really captures the true essence of your happy day!! We must've received over 2000 wedding photos on a disc. The other thing that we really loved was that they got the perfect shots, but weren't in your face the whole night. We also received tons of compliments from our guests. We've been to so many weddings where the photographers were following everyone around--but not with Val; he totally respects your privacy, but at the same time, is dedicated to providing you with the best memories of your wedding day!!

Overall I was very pleased with Val Solo and I would recommend them. I was very happy with my magazine style photo book and I received several copies of my video which was great! Great company and great people to do business with.

Photos were very important to me and I expressed that from the beginning. Val was able to provide me with over 3,000 pics all on a disk, it was great. They helped me with photo selections, album design, etc. I got several copies of my video to give to my family. My album look phenomenal!

We contracted Val Solo Photography because they seemed to us experienced and professional and they lived up to our espectations. They worked with us and we got exactly what we wanted: a mixture of traditional and candid shots. We got over 1800 photos on CD. Our album is beautiful! and we got several copies of our video to share with relatives. We are really pleased with the end results and we we highly recommend them.

The price was the best around. I got all 3000 pictures plus a cd of all the pictures taken. My album was of great quality. He took all candid shots and provided 2 photographers, one for the groom and one for me! The videography was not as good. It was shaky and not professional. I was embarrased to show the video to anyone. I could of done a better job.

I visited many photographers before selecting Val Solo Photography. They have a wide selection of albums which make it easier for you to choose something within your price range. I got exactly what I wanted at a price I couldn't get anywhere else. The quality is phenomenal. I couldn't be happier with my selection. They are well worth the price.

the value seemed much better when we were signing the contract then when we saw the end product. you no longer get proofs everything is on CD that you cannot print on your own unless you take it to a professional printer. also this is a small buisness, so often the phone went unanswered and you had to call and call until someone picked up...noone would return your message..overall not a disaster but they made need some more social adaptation to NJ.

The product was very good and we got our photos and video very quickly. However, he is rather difficult and actually got to be quite annoying the day of my wedding. It was a decent price and he gave me a lot of extras. I think the final product was worth his obnoxiousness.
