About

I am truly passionate about delivering beautiful photographs, it's not just about the end result, but the process - and I want to make this as enjoyable as possible for you. I am genuinely interested in creating a connection with you, making you feel comfortable with me and my cameras and providing you with images that make you feel great about yourself. My aim is to give you fresh, honest, vibrant images that are as unique as you are. No cheese.

I like to incorporate the environment, and on location I seek out the best natural lighting and backdrops in which to place you and then wait to capture the feeling and human connection to tell your story and take you back to that moment in time. I also like to incorporate off camera lighting to create unique and dramatic images with a big WOW factor.

My cameras of choice are Nikon’s best available digital SLR bodies and lenses. Whilst I keep retouching to a minimum, the textures and beautiful tones which can be achieved through contemporary processing techniques also play a part in the final outcome of my images.

I currently live in Fort Worth with my husband and our two year old German Shepher, Bruno. I love to travel and I am available for services worldwide.

Please feel free to call or email me with any questions you may have.

Reviews of Vanja D Photography

Vanja is the best! I chose her because of her experience working with our ceremony venue and the fact that her portfolio included more than sunshiney, 2pm outdoor weddings (which mine definitely was NOT). She was so easy to communicate with and I felt at ease with her immediately. Many of my guests commented on how great Vanja was, and how she seemed to be everywhere all at once. The best part is that I didn't even notice! I was able to fully enjoy myself without feeling like paparazzi were chasing me but I know she was there to capture every moment. I think it is rare to find a wedding photographer who can produce beautiful work in less than ideal lighting/venues/weather, but Vanja is truly a master of her craft. I cannot wait to see the finished product!

Vanja is a talented artist who knows how to use light and her surroundings to capture beautiful images which she did very well at our recent wedding. You can view her talent as you can many photographers by looking at their website but what you cannot determine about any photographer from any website is their passion and their work ethic to give the best possible performance at your venue. I did not have to request anything special from Vanja because every time I turned around, at the ceremony and at the reception, she was at the right place snapping pictures. At the end of such an important event you might think or hope that certain images you recall were captured by someone's camera but with Vanja, I dont have to hope or wonder because at every special moment, she was taking a shot, formal shots, on the dance floor, everywhere and this was for a full 8 hours with the exception of a short break for dinner. Many photographers take the required shots and then yawn and want to go home but Vanja was dedicated and worked every minute and she made our event special as a result.

Hands down the best photographer EVER. I was referred to someone that referred Vanja and Katie and I are so happy that things turned out and that we ended up with Vanja! We loved her the minute we met her and we knew we were in great hands. Vanja is amazing priced, beyond professional, and johnny-on-the-spot with her photos. We loved how creative she is and it is becuase of her creativity and perfect eye that we have such amazing wedding photos. I have and will continue to recommend Vanja to everyone.

Vanja was a wonderful photographer! We booked her late due to planning our wedding in only 3 months and I was in a rush to find a photographer for our wedding. She was extremely prompt to everything and always available by phone/email and even text, which was great for me. Vanja worked quickly and efficiently and was able to recommend and hire a 2nd photographer for our wedding day due to the size and the number of moments that we wanted to capture. She was such a pleasure and joy to work with!

Vanja was very professional, arrived early, and well prepared! I love her work and cant wait to see my picture results!

I would like to add a update to my review now that I have recieved all of my photos. We have just been so happy with the images from our wedding. Vanja captured so many special details from that day and gave us access to some unforgetable moments that were very special to us. Family and friends cant stop talking about how amazing the pictures turned out!

Expectations exceeded! Thanks Vanja

I wish you could rate higher than a 5 on here!! Because Vanja totally rates way higher than just a 5!!! I was so amazed at how perfect Vanja captured all of our photographic moments (engagements, bridals, and wedding). All of the pictures we have seen so far have been absolutely beautiful and we couldn't have been happier. Vanja was accessible to us anytime of the day, via phone or email. She was extremely responsive and always gave such great advice without EVER being too pushy. During all of our photo shoots, Justin and I were very nervous because we didn't know what to expect or how to act/pose for the pictures -- immediately Vanja made us feel extremely comfortable and at ease. She listened to all of my ideas and studied my "pinterest inspired" photos and even used some of the ideas!!! She made our guestbook, and it was just fantastic. Nothing could ever disappoint me with her! I would 100% recommend Vanja D Photography to anyone looking for a fabulous and cost-effective photographer!!!! We love you, Vanja!!!! xoxo Amanda & Justin

Vanja was the absolute best photographer we could have chosen! We had an immediate connection with her during our first meeting to discuss what she could offer us; she was also very flexible. She did an amazing work of art on our engagement photo shoot. She captured us in a way no other photographer could have! I would definitely recommend Vanja to other couples for their wedding - or for any life event for that matter.
