Big Feelings.
Little Moments.
Realness.
Lets Capture it Together
Your wedding day is not a performance. It’s the quiet brush of hands, the laughter spilling out during golden hour, the way your love feels when the world stands still around you. My approach to photography is to make sure you’re so in the moment, you forget I'm even there.
capturing moments as they unfold, so you never feel the need to pose or perform.
I believe your photos should feel like an heirloom: dreamy, poetic, and sentimental. An honest reflection of your love story that you’ll return to again and again. Investing in photography is more than booking a service, it’s choosing how your story will be remembered, how it will be passed down, and how it will live on long after the day itself.
What’s It Like Working With Me?
Resources
Just say the word and I can whip out my list of incredible vendors from planning, rentals, florals and more.
Guidance
Chances are you have never been married before and don't know what comes next. Don't worry, I can guide you to the wedding of your dreams.
The little things
Small thing make the most impact right? That’s why I send parting gifts, prints, and questionnaires to know you and to spoil you.
Friendship
You don't want some stranger all up in your face with a camera right? That’s why I get to know you so we can be best pals on your wedding day.
I'm here to serve
I mean this in the most real of ways. Whether it's carrying the train of your dress over the mud, entertaining a fussy toddler, or helping edit the best man's speech, I am here to be much more than just the photographer. My services extend far past my "services" because photography is soooo much more than a picture. It's you and your loved ones and the memories you’re making.
Let me capture those memories for you.
You just focus on making them.

Kind Words
Vanessa is an incredible photographer. Using the word incredible feels like an understatement. She was my engagement and wedding photographer and the photos she captured during both sessions are something I will cherish forever. She is such a kind and sweet person and it was very clear that photography is a true passion for her. Seeing her joy of capturing special moments made it extremely easy to relax around her which is so important for photos. I would recommend Vanessa to anyone needing a photographer.
Brittany Thomas
In a sea of generic wedding photographers, Vanessa’s work stood out as authentic, thoughtful, and beautiful. We are so happy she was able to do our engagement photos and wedding. My wife and I are a bit camera shy, and Vanessa made us feel at ease the entire time. She also gave easy to understand posing advice. We highly recommend Vanessa’s services!
Chris Chu
Hiring Vanessa was the best decision we made while planning our wedding! She was so lovely to work with during every step of the process and we are so blown away by our galley. We wanted beautiful, candid shots of us enjoying our wedding and she completely exceeded our expectations. When we look back at our photos we are truly able to relive all of the amazing moments of our day. She has such a talent for capturing the emotions and excitement of moments both big and small. We’re so grateful to have such a remarkable collection of photos from both our engagement shoot and wedding gallery. Vanessa is incredibly talented and I cannot recommend her enough!
