When planning our wedding, we were looking for a photographer that not only had an incredible talent & style, but also someone who we connected with. When we had our first meeting with Vanessa, we felt right away that it was a perfect fit! Our wedding photos were absolutely gorgeous; I have had so many people comment on just how nice they came out. Vanessa was super accommodating, great at communicating and getting to know my husband & I to really understand what we wanted! She’s fantastic and I recommend her to anyone and everyone.

The second I got engaged I knew exactly who I wanted to hire for our wedding photographer. Vanessa creates magic! Her team worked so hard to capture every special moment of our wedding day. She is so responsive, easy to work with and FUN. I will never be able to explain just how special her work is. We are so lucky to be able to have such beautiful images to cherish for the rest of our lives.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
NEXT QUESTION
For outfits, I'm a big fan of earthy and warm tones, such as beige, burgundy, denim, olive green, dusty rose & rust orange! Rather than wearing the same colors, I recommend couples wear colors that compliment one another. I love patterns and solids alike, but recommend that if one person is wearing a pattern, the other wears solids. Mixing different textures also can make the photos more dynamic too! Examples would be linen, denim, knitwear, etc.

The sooner the better! Weekends tend to fill up pretty quickly - especially during the spring and fall. So, the earlier you reach out, the more likely it'll be that I'm available on your desired date! This little lady truly wishes that she could be everywhere all at once, but alas. A signed contract and 50% retainer fee hold your date. I hope we get to work together!
How far in advance should we book?

Absolutely! Ninety percent of my couples walk into their sessions expressing this feeling—It's so normal. One of my biggest joys is seeing them transform throughout our time together and walk away saying, "You made that so easy and fun!" And it's an even huger joy hearing from them once they receive their gallery, exclaiming that "I can't believe that's us!" I'll guide you through a combination of poses and action prompts, to capture a special mixture of heirloom portraits and genuine expressions of joy. I want you to see yourself the way your partner sees you.
We're awkward! Will you guide us?

Yes! All portrait & engagement clients will receive access to my location guide, which details my absolute favorite places for photo sessions in the surrounding area. It's also always encouraged to ask about a location uniquely special to you & your relationship!
