VALORIE DARLING

Beyond thrilled to have one of my special legacy couples, Jayni + William, featured on VOGUE! I was honored to be invited back to the beautiful Dixon Ranch (Groom's family property) to photograph another Dixon family wedding weekend. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ There’s no greater honor than getting to document these milestone moments for families I’ve already fallen in love with. It's about deepening bonds and understanding nuances. To share these intimate moments over the years is both humbling and a testament to the enduring connection we've built and I’m so grateful for. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Our stunning bride, Jayni, comes from many generations of Indian jewelers, and wore her family's jadau jewelry on her big day. William also performed a surprise Bollywood dance with his groomsmen at the reception! As it turns out, the first Indian wedding he ever attended was his own. It was truly a night to remember! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Thank you @kirakdixon for hiring me for yours so I could have this opportunity once more! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ As Seen In - @voguemagazine @vogueweddings Editor - @shelbywax ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Bride + Groom - @jayni_shah @weemanonthegram Venue - Private Estate Planner - @soeventful Video - @storiestoldbyfilm Beauty - @samarabeautysb Bride Fashion, Indian Lehenga - @taruntahiliani Groom Fashion, Sherwani - @sabyasachiofficial @groomsofsabyasachi Florals - @maxgilldesign Caterer - @jessicalaskycatering Stationery - @elsamadelinedesign Rentals - @encoreeventsrentals @theonicollection @culturaleventrentals Tents & Floors - @zephyrtents Lighting - @gotlightsf Music - @hipentertainment PR - @publishedandpretty ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Vogue.

Incredibly grateful to be included again in the second edition of @overthemoon ’s THE LIST of Top Photographers from around the world. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Over The Moon has been a longtime favorite of mine and a major source of inspiration as a new bride myself!

What a way to start the year! I’m honored and grateful to be included again in @brides “Best Photographers in America” list. Thank you @annapriceolson @maggiekreienberg and @lblomquist8 for this loving reflection, especially after a year that tested us all! It’s pretty wild to be listed alongside so many talented friends that I admire so much. This recognition is the culmination of so many incredible creative partners brought together by my wonderful clients, who continuously amaze me and push my art. Above all, I am humbled to be chosen by you to share one of the most intimate moments in life with you and capture it all. That’s the “list” that will always matter the most to me 🤍 #brides

Your wedding weekend should feel like a vacation, for you and your guests. 🌊 E&Y’s Cape Cod wedding cocktail hour had that easy, breezy effortless vibe…coastal air, something chilled in hand, and nowhere else to be. Transportive, like a private getaway, with everyone just soaking it all in… we could go on and on. Take us back! ☀️⛱️ Ps. We highly recommend sneaking away for a quiet moment to practice your first dance, just the two of you (the last slide 🤗). ✨ Planning, Floral & Design: @whimevents Venue: @chathambarsinn Tenting: @sperrytents Photo: @valoriedarling Video: @currentfilms Floral Production partner: @rafaelfloraleventdesign Lighting & Draping: @frostboston Custom Furnishings, Banquettes & Bars: @form_creativeservices Tabletop rentals: @peakeventservices Linens: @reverie_social @capecodlinenrental @bbjlatavola Chairs: @highstylerentals Dance Floor: @gotoshout Stationery: @coralpheasant Cake: @confectionerydesigns Band: @clockworkbostonband Crooner & Greek Music: @thebandmethod Dress: @oscardelarenta Bridesmaids attire: @hermes HMU: @kaciecorbellebeauty Artist: @markpentacaricatures After party DJ: @elevatedpulse #capecodwedding #chathambarsinnwedding #newenglandwedding #luxuryweddingplanner #resortwedding

#OTMWedding 💍 After eight years together, @janelayton and Riley Jones chose @parkerpalmsprings as the backdrop for their celebration. 🌴🪩 “The property is such a vibe. Nothing technically goes together, yet everything somehow works,” Jane shares—embracing the hotel as a blank canvas rather than leaning into a traditional Palm Springs aesthetic. The result: a weekend that felt both “playful and elegant yet retro and modern.” 📷: @valoriedarling Planning & Design: @lyndenlane 📍: @parkerpalmsprings 🎥: @romavera_films #palmsprings #wedding #palmspringswedding #californiawedding

As she walked down the aisle, a string quartet and piano played Annie’s Theme from Father of the Bride which led into Maestro by Hans Zimmer from the movie, The Holiday. Not a dry eye in the house. Including us… full ugly tears. The precision of timing between songs was a masterpiece @aragonartists .
