About

Hey, I'm Vanessa – wedding and elopement photographer based in Boston, Massachusetts but shooting weddings all over New England and also the country AND the world. When I’m not being a photo taker, you can find me cooking and dancing in the kitchen with my husband, cuddling our dog like it’s our human child and going on spontaneous road trips around New England. I love traveling and getting to know new places – but I’m also a huge couch potato who enjoys a day at home doing nothing.

Photography is more than just my work - it's my art and my way to see the world. It's my happy place and where my creativity flies away. It's been a long journey since I started back in 2010 but I'm extremely happy to be where I am now.

My photography isn't for the super traditional folks - is for the ones seeking something different, is for the ones willing to be themselves, to show me some quirky dance moves. I’m all about some real connection and gushy moments. On your wedding day, I won't be there yo just to be your photographer - I WILL be there to be your friend, to fluff your dress and be there as an extra hand if you need! I really don't care if you have the fanciest or the trendiest of the weddings, a long or a short ceremony, the most beautiful flowers, who you are in love with or what your religion is. I just care that you love each other and don't fear showing it! I’m going to be there to photograph your day exactly how it is - honest and full of LOVE.

hire Vanessa ASAP

I cannot recommend hiring Vanessa and Chris enough!
They were an absolute dream to work with for our engagement session and our wedding. They are both so calm, approachable and make you feel comfortable in front of the camera (especially if thats a new experience for you). We were very nervous before the engagement session and they put us at ease and we ended up having such a blast doing it. They captured EVERYTHING so perfectly at our wedding, the album came out amazing. Vanessa's photography has such a distinct, beautiful style that creates the most stunning moments. On top of that, Vanessa is so professional, organized and easy to work with. We were a COVID postponement wedding and they were so understanding/helpful during that process.

Beautiful photos, kind and professional photographer!

After cancelling our wedding due to COVID and deciding to elope instead, Vanessa was so flexible about our contract, letting us split between shooting our elopement and then a larger celebration some time down the road. She and her husband Chris are true professionals - they masked up, came to our (outdoor) site early, and made us feel so comfortable as they directed us through some poses. Cancelling our wedding was tough, so it meant the world to be able have beautiful photos of our elopement. Wedding photography can feel very generic, but Vanessa's style and editing makes every photo feel like a keepsake. On top of it all, she's so sweet and easy to work with. I can't recommend her enough!

Above and Beyond

Vanessa and her husband Chris were probably one of my favorite things about my wedding. First of all, let's talk about the finished product - my pictures were beyond beautiful - I could not have imagined more perfect pictures. She is extremely talented and there is no doubt about that. Second of all, at the wedding Vanessa was amazing she knew when I needed a break and was just always there to help me (more than my bridesmaids haha) She helped me write a schedule for photos, first look, wedding party, family, etc - she was so good at handling that stressful situation and then the end product really blew us away. Vanessa and her husband made our wedding day more magical and pleasant than we could have imagined but also gave us photos that we will cherish and remember for the rest of our lives. Seriously, hiring Vanessa and her skills, kind personality, and all around good aura was one of the best decisions I made for my wedding.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
