Vanessa truly made our wedding day an extraordinary experience. Her ability to encapsulate the essence of each moment through her captivating storytelling was truly remarkable. She expertly guided and assisted all members of the wedding party, ensuring they felt at ease and confident in front of the camera. Prior to the big day, she diligently inquired about our goals, budget, and family dynamics, showcasing her commitment to understanding our vision. Moreover, her swift provision of proofs, just 12 hours post-wedding, exemplified her dedication and professionalism. Working with Vanessa was an absolute pleasure, and I wholeheartedly recommend her services.

Thank you, Vanessa and the entire team, for making our wedding day even more magical with your incredible photography skills! We are forever grateful.

Vanessa's professionalism exceeded my expectations. I hired her almost two years before my wedding date, and she was so accommodating to my questions and helped relieve my wedding planning anxiety. She also sent me two gifts leading up to my wedding, which was completely unnecessary and beyond thoughtful. I highly recommend hiring her for your special day!

My wife and I can’t say enough good things about Vanessa Joy and her work! We first met Vanessa back in 2021, when she did our engagement photos in Austin, Texas. We loved our engagement photos so much that we had to have her photograph our wedding! Her photos are beyond beautiful and she is amazing to work with. Not only did she beautifully capture some of the most cherished moments in our lives, we also believe her photos helped us adopt our baby. My wife and I recently grew our family through adoption and we credit Vanessa’s work to helping us get matched with our baby’s birth mom, as we used our photos from Vanessa to create our adoption profile book. Thank you Vanessa Joy for being such a blessing in our lives and special part of our adoption journey!

From start to finish, Vanessa was just a joy to work with! She made us feel comfortable from our initial call, to our engagement session, to our wedding day. We were blown away with not only her talent (and she's incredibly talented!) and professionalism, but by how thoughtful she was - we received a beautiful cheeseboard with our name engraved when we booked our wedding with her, and then received a camera right before our wedding with the sweetest note.
Our wedding day felt so easy and relaxed, we owe a big part of that to Vanessa and her team. She knew our venue and the best places to take photos and where the light was best. Our bridal party and parents couldn't get over how perfectly she was able to direct everyone and get the shot. Looking at the photos now, we are so happy with how perfectly she captured us and how we felt.
We would HIGHLY recommend Vanessa and her team to everyone! Thank you Vanessa for helping to make our day so special!

Vanessa is truly amazing. She is professional, organized, hard-working, and easy to work with. She makes you feel relaxed when she takes your picture and will suggest poses so you do not have to worry about looking bad. Not only did our photos turn out stunning, but at our wedding reception she gave us an iPad so we could see photos of us getting ready, our first look, the wedding party, and our ceremony. The quality was amazing and as we viewed the photos, our entire wedding party and some additional guests gathered around us so they could see the photos as well. Everyone was amazed at how incredible the photos looked. Ever commenting they looked straight out of a magazine! Her style is timeless and elegant, and I know we will cherish these photos for the rest of our lives. I would recommend couples hire her for engagement pictures as well since she is an expert at capturing these special moments.

It was super cool to be able to see some photo selects as well as a quick edit of the video during the reception! They did beautiful work and were lovely to be around.

Vanessa was unbelievable to work with from the moment we hired her until our grand exit on wedding day. Her team showed up and went straight to work, they were incredibly organized, efficient, and had the amazing ability to make me and every single person in front of her lens feel comfortable. Vanessa was able to capture our love in such a natural and beautiful way, and I'm so grateful we invested in the photos we'll be loving for a lifetime. I will forever be raving about her talent, hard-work, and professionalism. Thank you Vanessa!

Vanessa is who you need on your special day!! Not only does she capture every moment and detail beautifully but she truly helps make the process such a breeze! She is on it!! 100% would recommend!

I cannot thank Vanessa and her team enough for capturing our wedding in such a special way! From the minute we spoke to Vanessa on the phone back in 2020, we knew she was the one for us. She is down to earth, talented but most importantly she is professional and organized when it comes to your wedding day. We had our engagement shoot done and both my husband and I were nervous about feeling awkward in posed pictures, but Vanessa made it fun and light! When we got our pictures back, we were amazed with her talent and knew we had made the right decision. We used our engagement shoot photos for many many things leading up to our wedding and have multiple pictures framed around our house. Throughout planning our wedding, Vanessa was easy to reach, she helped with my timeline and took into account the very specific details I cared about. I mentioned specific photos that I wanted and she was able to get them (even in the rain!!) She sent us LOVELY gifts throughout our planning and she felt more like a friend. Leading up to the wedding day, I felt very comfortable knowing that she would keep us on track and run the show the day of. I wanted to have a fun and stress-free day and she made it better than I expected. When she arrived, she was calm, happy and so easy to work with. The entire bridal party - (including groomsmen) commented on her ability to get the bridal photos done quickly and efficiently and everyone knew exactly where they needed to be. There was no rushing or being late while getting ready - everything flowed perfectly. It rained very heavily on our day and the ceremony/cocktail hour could not be outside as planned. Vanessa managed to capture us perfectly and used to clouds to brighten our photos - she is just so talented. It was very important to us that we could enjoy our cocktail hour so Vanessa made sure to get all pictures complete before our ceremony. At the end of the night, Vanessa airdropped "sneak peeks" into our phone along with handing us a printed mini album!!! We spent the night looking at our pictures and reliving those magical moments. It was a highlight of our day!!!! We then received our wedding photos while we were on our honeymoon and were blown away with how well she captured the emotions we all felt that day!! No matter how many times I look at our photos, I am brought back to that exact moment and can truly relive that day. I would book Vanessa over and over again!! We are so excited to work with Vanessa to put our album together and cannot wait to display her work around our house. Remember - your photos and memories are the only things you have after the wedding.. This is the most important day of your lives -- the day that you have been planning and agonizing over for months (or even years).. make sure to choose Vanessa to be apart of your team!!
