We discovered Vanessa after seeing pictures she had taken at our wedding venue, and we knew we wanted her to capture our special day. During our first phone call she was warm and welcoming while also clearly communicating all of the important information. Her assistant Jaye is wonderful , and the booking process could not have been easier! When we were forced to reschedule our larger celebration due to the pandemic, Vanessa was responsive, accommodating, and supportive as we re-imagined and downsized our wedding. She even sent us clever "still engaged" T shirts, which added humor and lightheartedness to the stress of postponing. The day of our micro wedding, she was delightful to work with from the moment she arrived. Give her a veil and a camera, and she will make magic! Her assistant and second shooter were equally professional and talented! Our portraits exceeded my high expectations, and the photos of the ceremony and celebration captured our genuine emotions. As the rain began to fall at the end of our outdoor cocktail hour, Vanessa captured one last portrait of us under the stormy sky. After dinner, she presented us with an IPAD of images form earlier in the day that evoked laughter, tears, and applause! After the wedding, we worked with Vanessa and her team to design beautiful thank you cards, and a gorgeous wedding album. Vanessa's ability to connect with the people she photographs is equal to her technical expertise. We will cherish the beautiful memories she gave us!

5 Star Rating - Thank you!
Vanessa Joy and the (Vanessa Joy's) team has been a dream to work with from the moment Vince and I had our first wedding call session in (2018). Vanessa and Jaye were very responsive to any and all creative inquires we had. Our wedding day (October 13th, 2019) was truly magically in the sense that, at times, we would forget they were there - they made us feel so comfortable. At the end of the night, we were surprised by Vanessa when she handed us a mini photo booklet which had Vanessa's favorites from the day! What a Joy! Vanessa Joy Photography is best in class!
Thank you,
Adana and Vincent

Best in the business
Vanessa and her team are the absolute best! We started working with Vanessa immediately after getting engaged hoping to secure our wedding date and plan for engagement photos. We were fortunate enough to work with Vanessa a few years ago for my sister’s wedding so we were already familiar with her professionalism, expertise, and style. Vanessa and her team assisted us every step of the way.
We worked out the day of timeline weeks in advance which helped organize the timing for the rest of the vendors. Coming from someone who is usually on the shyer side especially in front of a camera, Vanessa made me feel extremely comfortable. Once she started shooting, I never gave it a second thought as all the poses felt so natural and like “me”. Vanessa works so efficiently, capturing all the the tiny details as well as organizing large groups for family photos and bridal party shoots.
Vanessa gave us a preview of some photos throughout the day before the end of the night and by the time we left for our honeymoon, we were able to see more photos highlighting some of our favorite moments. We were beyond thrilled with the rest of the photos, getting the chance relive every moment of such an incredible and surreal day! We would definitely recommend Vanessa Joy Photography to anyone looking to capture such an important day in your life.
