It is truly a “joy” to work with Vanessa. Her quality is unlike any other. You will look back at your photographs and truly feel the emotions and ambiance from your special day. Each time I look through my album (which is often) I truly feel as if I am reliving the best day of my life. We started our journey with Vanessa by first taking our engagement photos in Central Park. We had so many great shots we could have filled two albums. This was also a great way for my husband and I to get a little more comfortable in front of the camera. Vanessa does an amazing job at providing directions as to where to look, how to stand and just in general look and feel natural. Between the time of our engagement pictures to our wedding day we were in contestant communication discussing things like our photo must-have list, locations to take pictures after church and the day-of timeframe. Once our day finally arrived Vanessa and her team arrived to my parents house ready to take on the day. Their calm and professional manner allowed us all to be comfortable and kept us on our tight schedule, especially taking family portraits at the church (we have a large family!) The day/night flew by all while Vanessa and her team captured the memories that would last us a lifetime. It was on our flight home from our honeymoon in Italy that we received an email that our proofs would be ready shortly, and boy were they. As the hype of the wedding was beginning to come down, we were overjoyed to get our proofs so quickly to share and reminisce over. Within weeks of getting our proofs we had already ordered our thank-you cards, chose our album and ordered prints to hang in our home. Because of the quality of the technology Vanessa uses, we were virtually able to see our album come alive. We were also able to physically hold the many different albums and print options. I would recommend Vanessa Joy time and time again and am so grateful for her talent and passion.

After waiting over a year to begin planning our wedding, my fiancé and I felt the photographer was the most important vendor to solidify after choosing our venue/date. Vanessa had popped up a few times during our searches, and a number of friends had mentioned her name/Instagram to us. After taking a peek at her work, we knew her style was exactly what we were looking for, and were so thrilled to find out she was available for our date! Vanessa and her staff were a pleasure to work with through the planning process, so organized and helpful! The day of our wedding, Vanessa showed up earlier than anticipated (LOVE!) and then disappeared to set up, so non-intrusive! It was unfortunately grey and rainy the day of our wedding, but Vanessa and her team had a contingency in place in case we needed it – we thankfully avoided rainy pictures, but she used her high-tech equipment to make our pictures look like it was a bright, sunny day! At the reception, she had a digital picture frame of some of our photos from the day (surprise!) and everyone kept commenting on how beautiful they were. But even better than that, she gave me a small keepsake full of pictures she’d just taken earlier in the day, and then handed me a single photo of my dad and I to give to him. It was the sweetest, most thoughtful gesture! I just received the link to all of my photos, and can’t stop smiling ear to ear! We are so excited to work with Vanessa to create our wedding album, and can only imagine how stunning it will be. I would definitely recommend Vanessa Joy Photography to anyone looking for a buttoned up, elegant, and professional photographer for their wedding! Thank you so much, Vanessa and team!

My entire wedding experience with Vanessa and her team was an absolute pleasure! Not only was she able to capture the most beautiful pictures, she is incredibly easy and professional to work with. My photos so far are breathtaking and I can't wait to see my final wedding album. The quality of my engagement album is pristine, with an amazing wood and leather cover. I can only imagine how much I will love what's yet to come! Thank you Vanessa!
