About this vendor

At Velvet Knot Weddings in Fullerton, California, our wedding photography style is a seamless blend of editorial precision and romantic artistry. Renée's background in fashion and studio photography brings strong composition, intentional posing, and a refined eye for detail. She understands how to sculpt light, guide movement, and create portraits that feel effortless yet elevated. Vanessa's foundation in event photography brings instinct — the ability to anticipate unscripted moments, capture genuine emotion, and document the energy of a celebration as it unfolds naturally.

Services Offered

Together, Renée and Vanessa create imagery that is:

• Polished but never stiff

• Romantic but never overly styled

• Artful but grounded in real emotion

They guide when needed. They step back when it matters. The result is a wedding gallery that feels cohesive, balanced, and deeply personal — blending strong portraiture with authentic storytelling. That contrast is Velvet Knot Weddings' strength.

A wedding to remember

Absolutely amazing! From the beginning when getting ready to the end of the night dancing with family and friends. Vanessa was there. She was Absolutely wonderful. She made me feel super comfortable, asked questions, gave her input which I loved especially since I wouldnt even know what the best pose would be. She is a wonderful photographer and I'd recommend her to anyone. She has already did my sister's engagement photos and this past January, she did my friend's wedding. She's amazing!

Truly works of art!

Everyday I look at the stunning photographs taken on my wedding day and I am blown away by the talent of my photographer Vanessa of Velvet Knot Weddings. Several of her photos are the centerpiece of living room, so I truly look at them daily. Vanessa through her artistic vision was able to capture the joy, love, and euphoric energy of my magical beach wedding and backyard reception. Vanessa was patient and knowledgeable while guiding us through capturing the vibe of our wedding experience. I recommend Velvet Knot Weddings for all your wedding needs!

Amazing photographer and Wonderful to work with

Renee was absolutely amazing to work with for our wedding. She made us feel so comfortable throughout the entire day and captured every moment beautifully, from the big emotional moments to the small candid ones.

Her professionalism, energy, and attention to detail made such a difference, and many of our guests even commented on how wonderful she was. When we received our photos, it truly felt like reliving the day all over again.

We are so grateful Renee was part of our wedding and cannot recommend her enough.

I was very happy with my pictures. I got them quickly and didn't have any issues. It was like hearding cats to get my family pictures done but they were awesome and helped keep us on schedule. I got all of my must have shots and so many candid moments. I would book them again! 10 out of 10!!
