SERVICES & PRICING
I truly believe that finding the right photographer is very important. You deserve someone that is present and ready to celebrate with you!
Wedding photography pricing is relative. There are a ton of photographers out there doing similar things, but all of them have different backgrounds and ways to work with their clients.
I do this for a job because it’s truly my passion, sounds cliche but that’s what I have been doing for as long I can remember.
I adore documenting people’s stories and tell them just how it’s supposed to. I have infinite hours of trying and more trying, and consecutively failing and learning from my mistakes. I’m constantly studying and improving my skills on shooting, editing, directing and in general being a good person and an extra hand for my couples. I also always invest in the best equipment I can to be able to provide the best service possible. But I always say my style isn’t for everybody but it is for some, and I’ll give my everything to make the people who choose me feel like it was worth it every penny.
I like to say that photography is a long term investment. These photos are not for the present time, they are for your future self. It’s for the future you’re going to build.
These photos will tell a story of a good time, of true feelings, of the intimacy of your relationship. And because of all of this, I truly believe that finding the right photographer for you should be one of your top priorities while planning your day.
I’m committed to make this a safe space for all.

THE PROCESS
Why hire Vanessa, you ask?
Here’s just a few reasons of why you can trust me.
-
Well, let’s just say I have extensive experience and have shot over 75+ weddings and elopements solo since starting my full time business in 2016. I’ve been in the wedding industry since 2011, when little baby me had just got her first camera and within months I was already shooting weddings for other peer photographers, this means I have experienced two different very wedding industries, in two also very different countries. How cool?! Also I’ve shot so many weddings as a second photographer as well that I also know what they need to do and be ready, so I trained my own second photographer (my husband) and he knows everything I need and the way I’d do things.
-
Years of experience made me obsessed with light and it’s beauty. I love exploring and I know lighting like the palm of my hand. During a wedding day, we can experience several different light situations — harsh sunlight, dark ceremonies, candle lit dinners, artificial lighting, sunset and I could go on. It’s extremely important to know how to use light when shooting a wedding and I know exactly where to find the little pocket of beautiful light that will make your entire photo be a piece of art.
-
I’m really chill and flexible, I don’t mind if plans change and I’ll always encourage you to do what you want. According to several couples, I also have a calming presence and most times feel more like a friend, just hanging around taking photos, than an actual paparazzi photographer. I’ll make friendly small talk with your family and tell your mom how cool you are and how lucky I am to be there for you!
-
I consider myself a creative mind and I’m really good at posing and giving my couples prompts to do for photos. I hear ALL THE TIME that my couples look so relaxed and themselves in their photos and that’s literally all I’m trying to do. I’ll guide you around and definitely tell you what to do with your hands, where to sit, where to look at and melt the awkwardness away. And of course, I’m a pro at capturing all of the in between special moments you’ll not notice until you see a photo of it.
-
Let’s just say I know all of the ins and outs of a wedding day. I can and will absolutely build a timeline of your day based on just a few key events and make sure we have plenty of time for the good couple’s portraits.
I’ll also curate the perfect non-boring family photo list to get them done even faster. I’m really good at wrangling family members to get portraits done within just a few minutes and not drag it for an hour of smiles and sore cheeks. I always hear “WOW you’re really fast with this” and I always respond with “I think I’ve done this a few times”.
-
I’m really always prepared. I have a vast knowledge in pinning boutonnières, keeping an eye on the weather and be always ready to pull my cute umbrellas, have a mini towel to dry the ends of your bouquet, clean your glasses when they get greasy, remove a stain from your clothes and I could go on. I’m there for you and I want you to feel confident that anything minor will get fixed on the spot.
-
I freaking love editing my couples photos — I’m a little slower than most photographers but I take pride in that because I really put all my energy and effort to make every photo perfect for you. I have been mastering the skill of making every photo cohesive and tell a story of your day flawlessly. I’m also very good at making unwanted objects, trash on the ground, distracting things, spots, sunburn and pimples simply disappear!

“The experience of getting to work with Vanessa as our elopement photographer was truly outstanding from the beginning to the end! As soon as we saw her portfolio online we immediately knew we wanted her to photograph our elopement. Even though our elopement was only three months away she was so professional and willing to accommodate us even on such short notice. We were having a difficult time deciding on locations for our photographs and Vanessa worked with us to make sure we were completely happy with where we were going and that she had all the little details that would be important to us on our day. She was so sweet and easy to work with and kept us smiling during the entire shoot. The finished album was beyond everything we could have hoped for! Her work is absolutely breathtaking and so special, and we were stunned by just how much effort and thought she put into every single photo. Words do not come close in describing just how gorgeous the entire album is. Highly, HIGHLY recommend! She is the very best.”

– I think my style is romantic, timeless and a bit editorial. My editing style is warm, moody and vibrant and it purposely supposed to remind you of a vintage old photo from your grandma’s keepsake. My goal is to create photos that are also pieces of art and will look wonderful hanging on your walls.
