Amazing photographer

Vanessa is an INCREDIBLE photographer! I can't say enough good things about her personality and skills! She was willing to do a difficult hike up a mountain to get the shots we were dreaming about, and she did not disappoint! The photos turned out beautiful, and she made me and my partner feel so comfortable in front of the camera! I can't wait for her to photograph our wedding!

One of a kind!

First I just want to say that I NEVER write reviews but I promise you Vanessa deserves more praise than I could ever put into words!!!

Right from the very first conversation I knew she was the right choice. I literally don't know what to speak on first; who she is as a person or her professional work???

Who she is as a person? Vanessa is so down to earth and personality is out of this world! She listens to you to get a feel of what is important to you so she will know the perfect moments to capture for you! After 20 minutes of meeting her I felt as if I've known her for years! My wife explained to Vanessa that due to moving and a house fire my family lost all of our family portraits and Vanessa promised me that by the end of the wedding week my family will have plenty of photos to last us a lifetime and she meant every single word! I'm so thankful to have so many family photos and memorable moments captured that we will cherish for the rest of our lives!

As far as Vanessa's professional work? She is INCREDIBLE! Vanessa has a vision and knows exactly where to be and how to work every single angle imaginable! Her work is so effortless and efficient! She works so quickly and fluidly! We all know there will always be hiccups to every wedding and we definitely had our fair share! I promise you for every hiccup that occurred Vanessa had a solution instantly! I promised you she did more for my wife than the on-site wedding planner and not once did Vanessa ever complain. She would not let anything get in the way of my wife and I enjoying our big day! Every time we thanked Vanessa for going "above and beyond" she was quick to correct us that by saying she went above and beyond was like saying we didn't deserve to be treated like this!

Vanessa is truly ONE OF A KIND and my wife and I are truly honored to have her as our wedding photographer as she is now considered a friend of our family! Thank you Vanessa for EVERYTHING! I honestly feel bad because I can only give you 5 stars on google because you deserve soooo much more!!!!

If you are reading this review and still not convinced Vanessa would be the perfect choice for you then contact me and I will be more than happy to answer any questions you might have! Vanessa you are AWESOME and my wife and I are extremely grateful for you!!
