I found Nessa on Instagram and her photos blew me away. I loved the way her photos made me feel, almost as if you were transported into a fairytale or a dream. When I contacted her, she was very responsive and sent me many examples of her portfolio. When we met with her, she was very professional and agreed to do a lengthy, multi-day wedding shooting. Fast forward to the wedding day, Nessa absolutely nailed the photos. She took beautiful candids but also managed to take scores of huge group photos of family and friends where everyone looked great and didn’t blink somehow, and she did it in seemingly 1-2 seconds per group. She agreed to travel with the bride and groom to 2 locations during the wedding day (in between the ceremony and reception) and captured the most stunning autumn photos. Even though we didn’t prepare for any couple poses, she shared fun ideas to make us seem more natural and it actually worked. She also was great at taking dance floor photos and everything in between. We received our plethora of beautiful photos through email and were so absolutely pleased. We would absolutely recommend Nessa as she is an expert behind the camera, super fun and easy going, and she helped us capture our day just the way we always pictured it.

Finding a fantastic photographer to capture the micro-moments and feeling of the day was super important to my husband and I, as it would be the only form of wedding media we were investing in. After reviewing several portfolios, Nessa's really caught our eye. The colors of the photos were rich without being too saturated, the subjects looked natural, un-posed, and even a little whimsical. Our instincts proved to be correct!

Nessa was a pleasure to work with all the way around, from answering our initial questions, to enthusiastically agreeing to take outdoor photos on the mistiest, drizzliest wedding day, to gassing us up during our couples portraits, to being patient as we corralled several family members for an impromptu photo.

The post-wedding crash is definitely real, and I was waiting with bated breath to get our full photo album to relive the day. It was SO worth the wait! I was teary from viewing the first photo to the last. We had multiple guests tell us that they shuffled through our wedding album multiple times, because they were so astonished with how wonderfully the photos captured both the people and place that made the day so special.

Nessa is a true artist and and professional, and I hope to have the opportunity to work with her again someday. Book her while you can!!

Nessa was an absolute pleasure to work with and our wedding photos turned out incredible. I could not be happier with the level of quality and skill of the photos. She is amazing!

Oh boy, where to begin..Vince and I had an engagement/home session with Nessa. From the very beginning she was super responsive to emails and understood what we wanted; and what we wanted was to capture our love for each other, our lovely cat, our live in Hampden, Baltimore and our apartment.
Both Vince and I have never done professional photography (we don’t actually even have too many pictures together), so we both were very anxious at first but after meeting Nessa everything just felt super comfortable and familiar. I’m not sure when and how she was able to capture some of the photos, honestly..(possibly some wizard magic). The entire session seemed like catching up with an old friend. This is how comfortable Nessa makes you feel.
Nessa quite possibly overdelivered and provided us with the best pictures we could hope for. Her photography and style are work of art. Period. It is that good.
If you want to have unique, vibrant photos to enjoy for years and years to come you need to stop your search right now and book Nessa. You will not be disappointed.

Nessa is simply the best! She is so easy to work with, and her photos are GORGEOUS! We used her for both our engagement and wedding day photos- and we are thrilled already with the work she has done!

I am really happy to have chosen Nessa to shoot our engagement photos. The moment I saw her portfolio I fell in love with her style and was really excited to work with her. She is super nice in person and is willing to accommodate my really early schedule on a really chilly morning. She made us very comfortable which is important for us as we can be quite shy in front of the cameras. The most important thing is that the photos turned out great and she really captured the beautiful and intimate moments. I am already looking forward to working with her in the future!

I had the pleasure of working with Nessa this year and it was an absolute delight! She is super responsive, crazy talent, and so sweet! As a planner, it is always wonderful when other vendors keep in communication leading up until the day of to ensure we service our couples to the best of our abilities, and Nessa did just that! The pictures she captured are an exact representation of the day itself, and it is so easy to relive the moments through her photography. Can't wait to work with her again!

Hiring Nessa to be our wedding photographer was THE BEST decision we made in our entire planning process. She is lovely, warm, and makes you feel instantly comfortable. She is also incredibly talented, and will capture all the best moments of your day. Going through the pictures, it feels like there was no detail, sweet exchange, or smile that she didn't catch. All of my family and friends are in awe of these pictures, and are already talking about hiring her as their wedding or family photographer. And we were so surprised by the lovely way our thumb drive of pictures arrived! The wedding weekend flew by, but these pictures are the perfect manifestation of the momentous day my husband and I shared. Thank you so much Nessa! - Hannah and Hugh

Nessa is amazing. Our wedding photos are absolutely beautiful. After spending way too much time researching photographers - I realize it was all worth it because we ended up with one of the best. I was initially drawn in by her ability to capture moments - smiles, laughs, tears - the real emotion behind a wedding rather than the posed shots with a ton of eye contact. When we talked about that on our initial call, I felt she really understood what we were looking for. The day of she was like a stealth photographer - you didn't even know she was there. I think my mom even made a comment how she always found the best spot to blend in and get the shot. This ultimately resulted in fantastic shots of everyone being very natural - exactly what we wanted. Hire her. She's the best. Plus, if you're not into people taking your picture like I am - have no fear - she makes it enjoyable. Will definitely work with her again in the future. :)

Where to begin. This review is long overdue!! I stumbled upon Nessa's blog late one night down the rabbit hole of lifestyle blogs. I wasn't even engaged and yet and the moment I found her I knew. We live across the country and the moment we started wedding planning my husband and I reached out to Nessa without a second thought and we're SO incredibly happy we did. Somehow she was able to capture the most intimate details while telling our story without us being the wiser. When we first received a sneak peek of our wedding photos we sat on our couch for at least an hour weeping. Aside from Nessa being impossibly talented and working magic, she's just the sweetest person. A couple of my favorite memories of our day were created because of Nessa. Joking about the heat wave coming the next day as she knew I was so stressed about being hot. Prompting us to check out the tiny room enclosed by curtains hiding our doughnut wall that smelled oh so sugary sweet. She's an incredible human and a fantastic photographer and we couldn't feel luckier to have worked with her on our special day. We cannot wait to call her in the future when little ones come into the mix. Truly, we couldn't recommend her more to anyone looking to partner with someone so supportive, kind and talented.
