Bill and Kelly are not only AMAZING photographers, they are awesome people to be around! They did my husband and I's engagement and wedding photos. I'm so impressed by the skill they have to make every situation work. It rained the entire ceremony of our wedding and they were still able to get the best shots! We were unable to get all the bride and groom photos we were wanting because the cloud cover turned day into night really fast. So to make up for that my husband and I did a reshoot with them and I am IN LOVE with the photos! If you are looking for a photographer that has great attention

We scheduled our photo-phobic son for senior pictures with Vibrant Valley Photography. Bill and Kelly were amazing and so down to earth and friendly! They make you immediately feel comfortable. In 2 hours, they managed to get our high school senior to smile for photos, change shirts, pose, use props, and pleasantly and patiently deal with me asking a ton of questions all while getting great photos!! I am very pleased with the results and choices of photos from the photo shoot, and my son didnt complain at all (and thought they were great). I highly recommend them!
