The best decision we made for our wedding
Venessa was by far the best decision we made when booking our wedding vendors and was so wonderful to work with! She photographed our engagement photos as well as all 3 days of our Christian & Hindu wedding ceremonies. Neither my husband or I are very comfortable in front of the camera but she gave such great direction and got us in so many great natural looking poses. The photos themselves came out even better than I could have ever imagined. You would not regret booking with her. I cannot recommend her enough!

Highly Recommend for Weddings in the DMV
Venessa was just what we were looking for in a wedding photographer. She met us in advance of our wedding for an engagement photoshoot in our D.C. neighborhood, and we loved getting to know her and getting comfortable in front of the camera. On our wedding day, Vanessa spent time with each of us at our getting-ready locations, and moved efficiently through our first look and family portraits without ever making us feel rushed. She even made sure to capture some special photos of our pre-ceremony family dance party. We wanted authenticity in our photos, especially once the dancing got started, and that is just what we got. Venessa got right down into the dance floor and really captured the energy of our party, as well as the quiet moments between the two of us. She was easy to work with, friendly, and responsive. Highly recommended for weddings in the DMV!

Our Wonderful Experience!
We had the best experience working with Venessa for our wedding photos and video! From our first phone call, she made us feel so comfortable. We had a wonderful engagement shoot together in Georgetown where she really brought our vision to life. The whole shoot felt fun, and there was a perfect mix of candid and directions for poses. This was the same through our wedding weekend. She brought such great energy, and she coordinated with our other vendors to make it all a smooth process. We are so happy with all the pictures we’ve gotten back!

The BEST photographer!!
I choose Venessa for our wedding photographer for our September 7th wedding. She has been absolutely amazing from the start! Before booking, we had a quick call and she was so sweet and thoughtful. Once booked, she helped us come up with a perfect location for our engagement shoot. Leading up to the wedding, she was very detail oriented. She sent us documents to make sure she knew exactly who we wanted pictures with on the wedding day. She also listened to all the inspiration ideas/pictures I sent her! On the wedding day, she was amazing. She was really there for my husband and I! She made sure we got all the shots but also stayed on schedule! All our family and bridal party raved about Venessa and how kind she was and on top of everything! She knew how to get everyone in the right places in the right times.
All of our engagement photos and wedding photos are absolutely beautiful! We are so obsessed with all the pictures and highly recommend her to anyone looking to get photos done. I can’t wait to use her for any and all life events moving forward!!

Captured our day perfectly!!!
I can’t even put into words how happy I am with our wedding day and engagement photos. Venessa and Pam were truly such a treat to work with and so incredibly talented! When I was looking for photographers for my wedding, it was very overwhelming because there’s just so many options out there. I was looking for a photography style that is timeless and fluid and didn’t look like your average staged wedding photos. That’s when I came across Venessa’s page. It was perfect- everything was beautiful and exactly what I was looking for. We hopped on a phone call and hit it off right away. Venessa is so personable and kind, and I could tell she was someone I wanted to work with on my big day. I shared my vision with her and some inspo pictures and let me tell you- she executed them to perfection and better than what I originally imagined. I also do want to note- my husband and I are not good in front of the camera- we’re usually very camera shy and don’t know how to pose but Venessa helped us and guided us on what to do the entire way. The pictures turned out amazing, Venessa and Pam were such a highlight of our wedding day. and I would 10000% recommend Vness Photography to any future brides out there - you won’t regret it!

Venessa was a fantastic partner from start to finish in navigating the planning for our wedding! We were able to use our engagement picture session to get to know Venessa and her style, and it put us so at ease for our wedding day. Venessa's calm presence and clear communication were so helpful. We are so pleased with how all of our wedding day photos turned out!

Great Photographer!!
We instantly loved Venessa from the start. She had such a warmth to her and we knew we made the right choice. She was super helpful on the wedding going far and above making sure my veil was okay and kept it fun during portraits. We got our photos super fast and love them so much. Thank you and we will be using her for other future events.
