investment
I feel super honored whenever someone chooses me as their photographer. Not only will I be privileged enough to have my pictures narrating your love story for years to come, but also of becoming your impromptu best friend. I'll be there whether your nerves need soothing, your eyes need drying, or you just need some hyping up! My ultimate goal is to capture all the quirky, crazy, beautiful, timelessness that is your unique love story and give you a fabulous stress-free experience -all while having fun doing it!
My Style
Classic, timeless, and fun with a whimsical sense of romance and a touch of edge.
Your wedding photos are a big deal.
After everything is done, and the fun is over (waaaa!) all you’ll have to look back on your day is the photos! I know that sometimes costs can add up, but pictures are forever. Don’t you want awesome pics of you + your partner to look at when you’re 75?! When my husband + I got married we didn’t hire a pro photographer, and that is one of my BIGGEST regrets. Don’t be me. Hire a photographer that you love, and click with! Your wedding photos are a huge deal! <3

my values what to expect
01. Love is love.
“There is only one happiness in this life, to love and be loved.” I value love, and you love who you love. Period. I truly believe this in my heart! I want you to feel comfortable, and confident when contacting me. To not feel as if you have to tip toe around, or not say what you want! I want to hear your story, and if you let me I’ll be there cheering you on, on your big day!
02. Your photos are timeless.
You ever look at your grandparent’s old photos, and you can just feel the love? That’s what I want for you! You should look back at your photos, and feel all the feelssss! I want you to see those photos when y’all are 75, and think “DAMN! That was the best day of our lives, and our photog was awesome!” That no matter what becomes trendy, or popular your photos will always have that real feeling!
03. Let’s have fun!
That’s my life motto, honestly! If we’re not having fun then why are we doing it?!! I want you to have the time of your life, for the day to go by smoothly, and for you to never forget it! Laugh with your friends, dance with your grams, get sweaty, and maybe jump in a pool at the end of the night. Ya know what I mean?!
“You won’t find a better photographer than Vanessa!
Vanessa photographed our wedding in NOLA, and we couldn’t have been happier. She was so lovely, friendly, and easy to work with. Our family and friends thought so too! I know we got great photos without feeling like we were standing in front of the camera all day, which was exactly what we wanted! Thank you so much Vanessa! We’re so happy you were part of our special day and helped make it perfect. We couldn’t have asked for anyone better.”
