A little bit about me…I’m a film junkie, obsessed with coffee and love to hike, and I want to be outdoors ALL THE TIME! Early mornings are my favorite time of day (seriously, I NEVER sleep past 5am). I love hopping in the car before the sun comes up and driving to a new place with no agenda, to just explore and shoot a bunch of film.
I’m an intimate wedding and adventure elopement photographer based in beautiful Arizona (but I’m always down to travel)
Hey there! My name is Jaysn Valentine
My favorite part of being in this industry is how many insanely cool people I get to meet and the unique, breathtaking places I get to travel with them. People that I never would have crossed paths with if it weren’t for my job, and I love it! I’m probably the most laid back person you’ll ever meet, and I want your experience to be perfect; so whatever it is that you want, we’ll find a way to make it happen! No joke, if you want to hike 10 miles to get married on top of a mountain or take a helicopter somewhere remote, i’ll bring the snacks!
My wife and I have rescued 2 pitties, Matilda and Tux. She’s built like a brick, he’s dopey as heck, and I’ll show you a million pictures of them if you ask me to!

Cannot say enough great things about Jaysn and his work. We came to AZ from Boston to shoot our engagement photo session and he was super accommodating and captured our vision flawlessly. He walked us through everything, poses etc. and made the shoot a breeze. After being super impressed with his work on our engagement session we decided to book him for our wedding as well. Jaysn was very easy to contact and quick to respond to any questions we had leading up to our wedding. On the day of, he was super organized with his timeline (we even finished the shots with time to spare :)). Our families and friends continue complimenting how great Jaysn was. His work is truly UNBELIEVABLE- exactly what we were looking for.

He went above and beyond to help make our elopement special. He was responsive, flexible, and so talented. He was so patient and kind and we could not be more happy with our pictures. He truly made our day special. He worked with us to create a package that fit our family. He eased any stress that started to arise for me. I would choose Jaysn over again a million times. If you’re looking for a talented photographer who’s reliable and makes you feel comfortable, he’s your guy!

He was wonderful to work with for our wedding. He responded quickly, even during a busy wedding season, and captured amazing moments of our day. He listened to our ideas and made sure they all were possible. He made us feel comfortable for our couples portraits and made it fun even in the rain! We were hoping to get at least a few pictures we liked from our wedding day and we ended up LOVING SO many of them! We highly recommend him for any special moment, especially your wedding. Thanks for all your hard work Jaysn! We have pictures we will cherish for a lifetime.

He accommodated a last minute booking due to our wedding changing from Costa Rica to a US destination wedding. He was responsive and easy to work with. Day of the wedding he was much more then a photographer. He stepped in and help in several areas where my wedding coordinator failed at and also handled some other difficult vendors gracefully. He was so calm and easy going. I truly appreciate how much he did for us at our weddings and most importantly I love the forever memories he captured for us. We are were so lucky to get to work with Jaysn and I highly recommend him!

The scenery, the photos, the captured moments .. just everything what I wanted ever in a photo shoot. He was so fun to work with and always made sure he for the shot wherever we were. He even worked with my indecisive self since I couldn’t decide on where we really wanted these pictures and to top it off that was changed extremely last minute. I can’t recommend him enough! If you love Jaysn’s profile I guarantee you will be satisfied with the outcome of your photos. I can’t thank him enough for taking these pictures for us!
