Amazing Person & Photographer -

We are so thrilled we hired Vanessa! We choose the Sapphire Collection package to cover our engagement and wedding. Her photos are beautiful and we could tell from the moment we met her in her studio that she really cares about what she does.

Professionally and personally, we felt like she is so invested in creating beautiful photos, and moments. We just got our engagement album from her and it was everything we could have asked for and more. It's a beautiful hardcover book, the arrangement is stunning. Even our USB with our digital photos was in a beautiful little wooden case. Her attention to detail is amazing. Every time I look through it, it's like she's telling our story through our photos. I cannot think of higher praise, but she really is magic at what she does.

On top of what a wonderful experience we had her pricing is extremely reasonable, and she includes so much. I had never thought we would be able to afford a wedding photographer and stumbling upon Vanessa was a true gift. Plus she was fun to work with, the turnaround was lightening and everything has been so perfect.

Thank you so much, Vanessa! We cannot wait to work with you again at our wedding in August!!

Engagement and Wedding Photos

Vanessa is amazing! From her photography to her professionalism I can't say enough good things. Vanessa did our photography for both our engagement shoot and wedding. Her photos are clear, artistic and she made us feel so comfortable every step of the way. She was always willing to answer questions and help recreate inspo photos that will make your day so magical. Vanessa truly captured every great moment of our day and we are forever grateful. The albums she makes are so beautiful, durable and truly are made with care. Not only is she an amazing photographer, but she also has a very friendly personality. My in laws talked about what an amazing job she did for days after the wedding. Needless to say we will definitely be reaching out to her again in the future for all of our photography needs.

Wonderful!

We couldn’t be more thrilled with the experience we had working with Vanessa! From start to finish, she was not only incredibly professional but also a joy to be around. She made us feel comfortable and relaxed throughout the day, and the results speak for themselves. The photos she captured are absolutely stunning, and we’re so grateful for how she managed to perfectly document every moment. We were also blown away by the presentation of our final album and USB—it was such a beautiful touch with the logo, and really showed the care and attention she put into her work. For such high-quality service at such a great price, we honestly couldn’t have asked for more. Thank you so much for being a part of our special day!
