What happens Next?
There are 3 steps in order for you to get this offer!
1. Schedule an in person consultation
You have 72 hours to schedule a consultation with me, Steve, the owner of Valen Studios. Getting to know each other is very important to my team and I. Email me at [email protected] or text me at 847-417-8302 to schedule your 60 minute friendly face to face chat with me in Grayslake, IL. We will share where to meet with a photo so you know where to go.
We understand that not everyone may be able to visit in person. We are happy set up a zoom call but just know it may feel a little less personal because I, Steve, tell stories and point to photos on my studio walls and wedding albums while going over the photo collections. Some explanations are best to see in person and may fall short over zoom.
If you are still looking for a wedding date and venue we can schedule your consultation in 3 or 6 months to give you time to focus on finding the date and venue. When you do find your dream date and venue we would love to hear the exciting news.
If we do plan your meeting next week or in 6 months we will confirm your consultation over email a few days before so you know we are still good to meet.

2. Meeting in person
All you need to bring is yourself when we meet. If your parents or anyone is helping pay for photo they are welcome to join so you do not have to try to explain everything to them later. During your meeting we will get to know each other, talk about your big day, and talk about photo and video collections. There is no pressure to make us official. You will go home with a better understanding what everything means.
3. How to make us official
After we meet our photo manager, Kelly, will reach out to you through emails to make sure you know everything upfront and will help show you how to make us official. You decide what works best for you - we can meet in person, you can mail us everything, or send emails to make us official.
To hold your wedding date we will email you from swipe simple to pay by card for only $99. No hidden fees. We will always confirm everything over email before updating your contract.
