Dream Photographer!

Veronica has been photographing our family for multiple years now, so when we decided to get married she was our first choice for ceremony photography. Veronica is highly skilled and professional, but still knows how to maintain a comfortable and relaxed atmosphere so the process feels fun, romantic and unique. She took SO MANY photos in our 3 hour window - she was efficient with the time we had so that every shot that was important to us was considered. Veronica was flexible and kind throughout the day and we never felt rushed along. I would recommend Veronica to anyone who is looking for a genuine, hardworking, dedicated photographer for their intimate ceremony and family moments.

Wonderful Photographer!

Veronica is a wonderful photographer! We hired her to do an engagement shoot (summer) and photograph our wedding (fall) in Santa Cruz. We are not big photo people, but Veronica made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. She not only took beautiful photographs, but she was able to capture our personalities and vibe of the wedding. I highly recommend hiring Veronica!

Speechless

There really are not enough words to show how thankful and happy I am to have had Veronica capture my wedding day. From the color tones, poses, attention to detail, candid shots, as well as just knowing what’s really important to capture for the bride/ groom / family, she just did it all, and is very sweet and spunky to work with on top of it. I’m still crying going through my photos and I’m just so happy I get to have these forever. 10/10 you want Veronica to capture your special day!!! You will not be disappointed!

Thoughtful and Timeless

We hired Veronica as our wedding photographer... we were obsessed with her color tone and ability to capture "in the moment" pictures. Due to a suddenly family illness, we decided to elope so our family member could be part of our cermony. I contacted Veronica with little notice and OMG! She was so flexible but also delivered pictures that we will cherish forever. She made our last minute elopement, 100 dollar last minute wedding dress, and Undecorated location look like a magazine photo shoot. She showed up early, stayed late and was sooo personable with all of our guests and us. We cannot wait to to have her photograph our wedding!! Thank you Veronica!

Extraordinary

Veronica has been taking pictures of my family and I for YEARS. She started with family/friend shoots of 3 then 8 then 10+ people (mostly children). She’s done new born, my engagement and most recent my wedding pictures . I received 700+ pictures and they were all phenomenal. Veronica is professional, kind and patient and most of all punctual. She definitely does not disappoint .

Amazing Experience Veronica is the Best

Veronica is a gem. From start to finish, it was an incredible experience working with her. Before our wedding, we had an initial in person consultation with her to review expectations and game plan for our big day. She was extremely prepared, and made our wedding day SO SPECIAL.

We had 130 people at our wedding, both large bridal parties, and she was able to command both groups to ensure that no photos were missed! Veronica did an amazing job of capturing every moment throughout our wedding day. Her skills are unprecedented. The pictures are extremely high quality. We had large group photos, and special private photos. My wife and I couldn’t ask for a better wedding photographer.

She made us feel special throughout the entire day, and now we can look back at all of the amazing photos with happy hearts.

10/10 would recommend Veronica. She will go the extra mile for you regardless of the occasion.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
