    Incredible Photos from a Dynamic Duo

    Vanessa and Fred are exceptional at what they do! They have wonderful personalities that truly shine through and are extremely artistic in their photos. Throughout the day they even showed me several pictures they took, which made me feel more comfortable and excited about the photography at our wedding. They ate dinner at a rapid pace in order for us to get the golden hour photos during sunset. They were patient, friendly, organized, professional, and truly a dynamic duo! Thank you so much for being an integral part of our wedding day and capturing amazing memories for us in your artwork! ❤️

    Engagement Photos

    Hi All! We decided on having our Engagement photos done in Virginia Beach because my fiances family lives here. I had a hard time finding a photographer since I am not from this area and met my finance at school. I found Poise Photography on Instagram and fell in love with their work. We were a bit nervous to take pictures as we normally do not take formal images. Vanessa made us feel so comfortable and we had such a blast! We are not sure yet if we are getting married in Virginia Beach, but if we do we will definitely hire her as our Photographer!!! If you are a bit shy like me, she will help you so much. I say hire her!

    Our Wedding Day

    Due to COVID-19 our Wedding venue cancelled and we didn't want to completely cancel our Wedding. There were so many changes and all last minute. Vanessa was such a great listener and help me restructure our day. She is very easy to work with and even when things became overwhelming she was right there to help out with all of my questions. We ended up Eloping and our day was truly special. I honestly think she should offer Wedding Planning as well as she knows so many vendors and has some amazing ideas! We love our pictures and once I have more time, I will post them on my review. I am so happy we found her, If I had to describe her, I would say: Easy Going, Flexible, Creative, Outgoing, So Helpful!!

    Simply the best!

    Vanessa and Fred were amazing! Friendly, professional, and so so talented! When my wedding plans changed because of Covid, Vanessa was so kind and helpful, even coming to my house to take getting ready photos before we went to the venue. We had very limited time, but they could've taken pictures for ages and every single shot was stunning! Highly recommend!

    Engagement photos

    This was this first time I had professional pictures done and she made me feel extremely comfortable. She was very professional and very down to earth. Most definitely recommending to my friends and family!

    Amazing & One of a kind

    Working with Vanessa was truly a delightful experience, not to mention she is our favorite form everyone we hired. Our photos are incredible! Vanessa & Fred are such an amazing team, they are professional, fun, and so much more than we expected!
    Vanessa is very organized and knowledgeable which helped us plan our wedding day even more. She helped us with making a timeline, other vendors, and guided us through preparations that we didn't know about.
    Our wedding day was very organized and calm. My family absolutely loved her and still rave how great she was. Prior to our wedding, we had several meetings and calls and she was even available late at night when I had random questions. She provides a sneak peak and our photos look truly breathtaking!!! I cannot wait until we get them all.
    Thank you so very much for being part of our day! We feel truly blessed that she was available on our wedding day and we highly recommend Poise Photography.

    You two are so sweet! Thank you for the wonderful review! We loved the card you two sent and we cannot wait to be part of your sisters wedding!

    Engagement photos

    We had a wonderful experience with Vanessa. She was very prompt in her response, offered a great price, and offered a good product. I appreciated her patience dealing with someone like me who was clearly not comfortable with photography shoots. Thank you!

    Fun & talented husband and wife team!

    Fred and Vanessa were a blast to work with; they had us laughing the entire time. They are professional, yet down to earth and so easy to work with. They captured our relationship perfectly and our albums is so wonderful! Vanessa was so accommodating and helped me with the many questions I had when we were still planning our wedding. She truly went above and beyond and we felt so comfortable! They are an amazing couple and truly adorable.

    I wrote a 5 star review and sadly I have to create a new reviee

    My husband and I loved working with Vanessa and Fred. They were great. Now, over a year later, we only have half our photos and no photo album. There were situations that we totally understand, family emergencies and COVID, but the lack of communication and the fact that months has gone by makes me wonder if we ever will get the rest of our photos. Makes me sad.

    Poor communication

    Would not recommend this vendor if communication is important to you!!!

    Poise Photography's reply:

    These statements are far from the truth. Rescheduling an event does not constitute us being the worst vendor on your wedding day?!? We were not your wedding day photographer. If you the client decides to book with another vendor due to a scheduling conflict for an engagement session then of course that is out of our control. Rescheduling an engagement session is something that can be done and does not affect your wedding day. We tried several times to contact you to reschedule the week prior to your session. As these statements and reviews left all over the platforms are false and the request of contract cancellation was requested by her, additional resources are being implemented as this is not only defamation, but also damaging to the business.
