Cannot recommend her highly enough!!!!

Vanessa was absolutely incredible to work with! We knew our special day was in good hands after the first time we met virtually and it only became more clear as we spent more time together. Vanessa took the time to answer all of our questions and had amazing ideas throughout the wedding planning process. Vanesa captured all of our special moments throughout the wedding weekend and is the perfect fit for anyone who has a furbaby in their lives - we cannot recommend her highly enough. She’s the best!

Photos Captured the Vibe and Joy from Our Wedding Day

We found Vanessa through a friend, and we could not have been more satisfied and happy with how all of our photos turned out. We got married at a theatre venue with very little natural light, and Vanessa was able to capture such a unique and beautiful set of photos from our wedding day that completely encapsulated the vibe and joy from that day. And our engagement photo session was such a fun time and a great experience to get her energy and her learning about ours. Cannot recommend her enough.

Dream wedding photographer!

Vanessa’s style and creativity captured the most breathtaking shots of us on our wedding. We love how the lake side breeze lightly lifts my veil during our first look, the dramatic lighting in our photos walking up the capitol steps, and the romantic blooms framing us in the botanical gardens. When we wanted to add in one more destination for photos on our way to the ceremony, Vanessa made it happen! The personalities of our close friends and family, especially our youngest guests are also wonderfully captured in our photos! From preparing for the wedding day through receiving our photos Vanessa was always professional. She also made sure we were at ease and having the most fun on our wedding day. Vanessa is a dream wedding photographer!

Flawless and fun!

Vanessa was such a joy to work with, her upbeat personality put everyone at ease with a fun and relaxed approach. She set clear expectations and we were able to accomplish everything we set out to do. The finished photos truly reflected the joy of our day, the beauty of the city, and the love of family. We wanted classic, timeless photos and she gave us that and so much more.

Accommodating, Artistic, Amazing!

Vanessa photographed all three portions of our wedding, capturing the unique spirit of each. The intimate courtroom vows, the family-filled Church ceremony, and the joyous reception in London. Her innovation and imagination helped create memories for each special moment. Her calm and professional demeanour, ensured that all photographs were taken efficiently and family members weren't left waiting for their ice cream cake. I highly recommend Vanessa to capture all your celebrations.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
