I am planning my New Orleans destination wedding from Tampa FL. We chose Vanessa to be our wedding photographer based off of her experience (take a look at her website!) & wedding wire reviews. She more than exceeded my expectations! Our engagement photos were so beautiful and exactly the style I was going for! She was very professional, friendly, flexible and talented! She made my fiancé feel very comfortable and we had a blast just walking around while she caught our special moments! I would highly recommend Vanessa Rachel Photography!

Vanessa photographed my Bridal Portraits, our engagement session, and our Wedding. She did such a wonderful job on each aspect. She asked my input and expectations and provided me with great results! She is also very creative, so when I was at loss for ideas, she was able to help me figure out exactly what I wanted or create it for me ;) For my Bridal Portraits, she was able to capture my personality and likes. During our engagement session, she perfectly captured me and my husband's relationship character by simply telling us to be ourselves and adding an artistic touch or suggestion to various settings. We loved so many pictures from that session, we had her print us a book with all of our favorite photos and we set it out at the Wedding Reception. On our Wedding Day, she was very efficient and kept us on our timeline, which is very important. She helped to make what could be a stressful day, less stressful and more fun! With her journalistic approach she caught many silly moments amongst my Bridemaids and I, as well as all the expected shots. She caught many dreamy moments. Some pictures were so perfect that I could not believe it was really us; the kind of pictures you only see in magazines! It was very exciting to look at everything. She captured so many great moments, especially the unposed moments where you can look at a picture and truly feel the excitement, happiness, and love jump off the page. One look at some pictures and I feel like I can hear the laughter and bustle of the day! Vanessa loves what she does and the end result truly expresses her talent and passion. She did an excellent job on all of our work and I am anxiously awaiting my book (which I just ordered a few days ago), so I can show everyone our Wedding photos. At the end, when I needed help with selecting my images and picking my book she was able to help me pick my final selections. Vanessa was very patient with me during this process, which was really nice because it coul

Vanessa was our photographer for our wedding June 2019. She was amazing throughout the entire process! She was extremely helpful with the timeline for the day of the wedding! Her experience as a photographer really showed when planning out the day. The day of the wedding she made all of us feel very comfortable in front camera which is difficult to do since we most of us are camera shy! The pictures came out amazing and we are so happy them!
