We had the pleasure of working with Vanessa as she took photos of our elopement in SF City Hall. The photos turned out beautifully, capturing the intimate moments, vibes and the small details to create the perfect photos. Although this was our first time getting our photos taken professionally, she also made us feel very comfortable and gave us easy tips which helped to make the photos natural. She was very easy to work and accommodating with our requests making the whole process very smooth.

Vanessa is extremely professional, talented, artistic and truly gifted. She gave me the most amazing pictures of my wedding day and that was not an easy task. Vanessa is great with stressful families, kids and even animals (yes she got pictures of us with our beloved golden-doodle!) and will make your photoshoot actually enjoyable! Her artistic eye is something that will leave you breathless and will allow you to see another beautiful side to yourself. You will not be disappointed with Vanessa’s work.

What can I say about Vanessa. She simply is one amazing individual and hands down one of the best photographers I know. she truly loves what she does and it shows not only in her work but in her heart. She is always willing to take your ideas and just push them beyond what you thought they would be.
Vanessa is also every understanding, patient and kind. These are qualities that I love about her especially when she’s photographing memorable photos with you and your children. My husband and I are grateful for these moments that we’ve been able to share and have you capture. Thank you so much Vanessa!

You were the first professional photographer I ever worked with and you captured everything I hoped for in our family photos. You set the bar so high I haven’t been able to work with any other photographers. We’ll cherish every photo you took of us and will forever be my favorite family photos! Anything you capture is a dream!
