Artistic Imagery that's Authentically YOU

Tell me more!

I photograph couples who are marrying their best friend and are ready to fully embrace the day as it unfolds. Stiff and overly posed photos aren't really my jam and pinky-promise that I'll never make you hold an awkward pose for 3 minutes.

I'm a full-time traveling elopement, wedding and portrait photographer based in Northern California. I'm a confusing mix of a homebody meets travel bug and I wouldn't want it any other way. I un-ironically love me some Backstreet Boys on repeat (no shame!), spontaneous road trips to the beach or mountains  and not much makes me happier than a homemade latte. 

hey there!

my name's vanessa.

"Vanessa's photographs go beyond beauty; they possess a timeless, artistic quality that captures the emotions and essence of the day. "

-Jess + jonathan

She is not simply a photographer; she crafts moments with her unique vision. The way she orchestrated our first look was incredibly special and couldn't have been more perfect. Her work is exquisitely timeless. Vanessa is a truly a master of her craft. When I say you would be fortunate to work with her, words couldn't be truer.
