The Photographic Experience
Photography is more than clicking a camera. We help you relax and capture the love between you.
In a world where everyone has a camera, it’s not about taking more photos—it’s about creating meaningful experiences.
The Valent Lau Photographic Experience is about you and your stories. It’s not “smile at the camera.” It’s not “look at your child and laugh.” We help you bring out your real emotions, and then we capture it as it happens.
How can you bring out those emotions? Don’t worry, that’s our secret sauce! We have a special process that makes it easy and natural.
The experience is fully guided. See how every one of our clients use words such as ‘relaxing’ and ‘enjoyable’ to describe their journey with us.

Simple Steps to Celebrating Your Loved Ones
1. Getting to know you
2. Custom Photographic Session
3. Design Consultation
4. Show off your Artwork
1. Getting to know you
The most important part of capturing natural and treasured moments is getting to know you. We want this to be more than a “look at the camera” session.
We see what is important about your connection with those close to you. We learn about your journey, where you’ve been, and where you’re headed.
You’ll be surprised how many things we rediscover that mean so much, that you may never have thought of mentioning. By the time you come to your photographic shoot, we’re friends. It’s a relaxed experience, many of our clients mention how enjoyable the whole process is.
2. Custom Photographic Session
Before our session, we send you tips and info on how to prepare, what to wear, and introduce you to our recommended hair and makeup artists. We answer any questions you have, and you feel confident and relaxed.
Now the fun starts. We guarantee there is no awkward posing or forced smiles. We gently guide you and let things happen naturally in a relaxed environment.
This is important because every time you look back at your photographs, you will remember if that expression is real.
Because we’ve taken the time to learn about you, we are able to anticipate when a special moment will happen. Whether it’s that gentle touch, or that fleeting glance, we are ready and waiting. Years from now, you will relive the genuine emotions and feelings again every time you look at your artwork.
3. Design Consultation
This is the most exciting part of the experience. After the session, the same afternoon, you come back to the studio to see your photographs for the first time.
Together we go through the moments we’ve captured through a cinematic slideshow. There will be laughter and tears.
We select your favorites and choose which photographs to purchase. All photographs are purchased individually. We customise them into contemporary art pieces that totally represent who you are, right now.
4. Show off your Artwork
We finish your photographs using our Fine Touch editing that shows you at your best. Our team of specially selected artisans create amazing art pieces from them.
When your handmade artwork comes back we inspect them carefully with white gloves, then schedule you to come back to the studio for the big reveal.
Seeing your artwork for the first time is a fantastic experience, and there are often tears involved. We encourage everyone to come together to see the reveal. Finally, your artwork is hung in your home, and each time you walk past it you will relive this time, the feelings, emotions, all of it, for years to come.
Why Us?
Do you want to do something special for your loved ones? To capture your connection, something personal, intimate, real.
Think those genuine impromptu moments but without the blurry slanted phone angle.
Our specialty is getting you relaxed so you show your true personality. That way your partner looks at you, that way your child grins, no cheesy fake smiles.
Because your family are worth it, aren’t they?
Why Not Us?
We don’t suit everyone. We’re not the cheapest, and we don’t jump into sessions without planning.
Our process ensures timeless, natural expressions through quality, not quantity or trendy filters. If you prefer quick shoots without preparation, we’re not the right fit.
We want to get to know you, we want to laugh and cry with you, and create something wonderful.
You will love your photographs enough to choose to purchase each one – not just because you need to fill your package.
