    All Occasions Photography captured the day perfectly.

    All Occasions Photography was a referral to me from a friend and even so I was a bit nervous they ended up captured our big day perfectly they understood our vision and they made that come to life. Vanessa and her team will go above and beyond to make sure your day and your photos are everything you have dreamed about. Vanessa's guidance, expertise, professionalism, and organization will keep your day running smoothly and that is important. They are up for any challenge especially the one I sprung on them during the reception called the table run, Vanessa just said OK lets do it this will be fun. As a bride myself I know planning a wedding is nerve wracking and reading all these reviews can be confusing to who really is the best since this day is one of life's most cherished days. So please believe when I say All Occasions Photography is the best of the best, they truly captured our wedding and we are endlessly thankful to them and for all they did to capture our happily ever after. Tracy and Barry

    The best!!

    Vanessa is the absolute best!! From the moment she rang my moms door bell all the way through the end of our photo session, she got our vibe and our style so well! Vanessa guided us through our session, communicated great with all family members and always had a smile on her face! She went above and beyond to feel us comfortable and ensured the day went as smooth as possible. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone. She is just the best! Thank you Vanessa :)

    All Occasions Photography's reply:

    Thank you so much. Can not wait to finish editing and to work with you all again! And smiling is my favorite!

    Amazing & Comfortable

    Words cannot express how amazing Vanessa was as our wedding photographer! My husband and I chose a blank canvas venue which meant we had to bring in all vendors, and one of the best decisions we made was booking All Occasions Photography. Vanessa was so much fun to work with, starting from our engagement shoot. She was willing to meet us in an unfamiliar town and did her research ahead of time to get us some awesome locations. My husband and I are not the most comfortable in front of the camera but she was so laid back, personable, funny, and just HUMAN; she really put us at ease. On our wedding day, she and Aimee made all of our wedding party, laugh, smile and just feel natural. The weather was ever changing but they never missed a beat and made the most out of it all, and we ended up with breathtaking pictures! During the wedding, a few situations arose and she went above and beyond to take care of not just us, but those closest to us. Our bridal party and family cannot stop talking about how amazing these two women were, and they only continued their praise when they saw our photos. The details that she puts into her work, even the cute way our final photos were delivered, just shows how much she loves her clients and what she does. We already have one friend who is ready to book them, and we highly recommend them to everyone!

    Fantastic!

    We were so lucky to have Vanessa as our photographer for our wedding weekend. Vanessa was very quick with communication throughout the entire process and an absolute blast to work with the day-of, along with her associate Eric. From the very start they were able to understand who we were and what we wanted out of the day, which led to some incredible photos. Vanessa made sure we got all the right photos which included us going down a zip line and a slip and slide (wedding dress and all). Their photos perfectly captured our weekend. If All Occasions Photography is available for your wedding day, we highly recommend Vanessa and her team.

    Absolutely perfect

    Words can not express how truly magical Vanessa and Eric made our wedding day. From the first phone call when we spoke to Vanessa we knew right away she was the go to, she went through every detail explained how she does things and can tell how truly passionate she is about her career, when we met for our engagement shoot it had already felt like we have known her forever! Our wedding at stablegate farm was beyond any expectation I have ever had, and it was because of Vanessa and Eric! They are the most down to earth people and capture every moment , they make you feel so comfortable , stress free and we truly had the best experience,l with them , laughing all day, it was pure bliss, we can’t think Vanessa enough for everything she has done for us and how incredible the photos are, it’s a lifetime of memories and they were able to get every moment, we can not wait to use you in the future!

    Amazing experience with Vanessa!

    We feel SO thankful to have found Vanessa. She completely knocked it out of the park with our wedding photos! Her work is phenomenal; she is a complete pro with an amazing talent for catching the right moments, setting up stunning shots, directing folks as needed, and working with any situation to make everything look incredible.

    During our small outdoor ceremony, Vanessa was able to move around and capture beautiful moments without any obstruction to the ceremony. She masterfully directed our family and couples photos that followed with professional ease, confidence, humor and flexibility. This made for such a smooth experience that efficiently utilized the space and time, worked around weather obstacles, and ensured that everyone was comfortable and happy.

    We had so much fun working with Vanessa and were so impressed with her every step of the way. Early-on, she took the time to FaceTime and discuss our needs and wants with such a small wedding (only 10 people). Her customized quote was incredibly reasonable, and we really appreciated the elimination of extra time and frills that we didn't need. We were thankful for her honest and down-to-earth advice and direction, and her willingness to support and shape things in our unique and non-traditional ways. We were also extremely grateful for her flexibility. Her ability and willingness to last-minute adjust timing for the day ended up being our saving grace for catching ceremony time in a beautiful outdoor space before a rain storm hit. Vanessa's turn-around time with edited photos was astonishingly quick. We were able to enjoy the photos with our family members all together before everyone returned home, and everyone was so impressed with the turn-around time, quality, and whole experience with Vanessa.

    We couldn't be happier and are so thankful for the beautiful photo memories and amazing experience working with Vanessa. We will absolutely be returning for future photo services, and recommend her hands-down without hesitation to everyone!!

    Perfect Photographer

    Could not be happier with the service we received from Vanessa. We had to change a lot of our wedding at the last minute and Vanessa was beyond flexible and an invaluable source for other wedding related questions we had. Will definitely hire her again for future events.

    Vanessa is absolutely the best photographer ever!

    Vanessa has been amazing since day one! The first time we met Vanessa we knew she was the perfect fit for our wedding!! Vanessa is very professional and an amazing to work with! We have done our engagement, mini-ceremony, photo shoot and our big wedding reception with her! She was understanding when we had changed our date due to COVID and then again we when decided last minute to do a mini ceremony in our backyard. Vanessa and her team made the photos fun and easy! We always had a good time together! Our families loved Vanessa and Aimee during our reception! We can not wait to see the rest of our photos from our reception! We definitely recommend All Occasions Photography to everyone we met!!

    Overall incredible experience.

    Vanessa and Eric are 2 unbelievably talented photographers. Their personalities work perfectly together and they took the stress out of our wedding day with ease. For someone like me who is not a picture person they made it so easy to get top quality pictures. Communication was so easy and still is even 6 months after the wedding. It was like having 2 of our closest friends share our wedding day with us and capture pictures in the process. I can’t wait to keep working with them for the rest of our family life events as the come up!

    Vanessa and Eric were AMAZING!

    My husband and I are shy when it comes to taking personal/intimate photos but they made us feel so comfortable.....like we have been friends forever! This really helped us when they had to capture those intimate moments (like kissing).

    Throughout the day, they kept everything moving along and took a ton of pictures.

    They were so fun and wonderful to work with. Our guests from our wedding were even complimenting how awesome they were. And, when I received our “photo booth” pics back from our vendor, they were in there! This made us die laughing!!

    I am so glad that we chose All Occasions Photography for our wedding! Vanessa and her staff were very professional and accomodating for what we wanted. Not only was Vanessa one of our photographers but she also assisted in many other ways like my personal dress helper! (I had some malfunctions) They captured everything I wanted and then some and I am very satisfied that we chose them to photograph the best day of my life.

    Working with Vanessa and Eric for our wedding was fantastic. They weren't just our photographers but helped make sure we were on schedule throughout the day. Eric was willing to go to great lengths to get a fantastic photo and boy am I glad he did, because our of my favorite shots of the day was taken by him while he was balancing over a creek. Both of them were fun and easy to work with and made the time we spent taking pictures fly by. We have so many pictures and I am so glad because looking through them really shows how much you miss as the bridge and groom. If I ever need professional photos again I will look no further than All Occasions! Thanks again Vanessa and Eric!

    We can say enough good things about All Occasions Photography. Vanessa was able to design a package for us that not only was what we wanted but fit into our budget as well. We received many compliments on her professionalism and how nice she was. She stayed on the edge of all activities yet got every shot that we wanted. She also helped with details such as pinning on flowers and offered to help bustle the dress. Once we received the photos we were just blown away - they are great!!!

She and Gina are so personable and we got SO many compliments on the two of them. We will definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a photographer. They made our day that much more memorable and enjoyable!

    Words can not express how amazing Vanessa is! She is as down to earth as they come, has a great sense of humor and her pictures tell a story in the most perfect way! Not only did I fall in love with our engagement pictures, our wedding pictures were OUT OF THIS WORLD! I am in love with all of them! Her partner Eric was great as well! The day went smoothly and she was on top of her game! She even helped fix my dress multiple times. I can. I wait to have Vanessa continue to take pictures for us in the future! If you want an amazingly talented photographer then you have found one of the best there is!
