Have the wedding day of your dreams
You made the brave decision to say “no” to the non-essentials and stay true to yourselves. You’re choosing to elope/have a small wedding because it just suits you guys-- it’s part of your story-- a story that deserves to be told.
HEY I’M VANESSA!
I help couples relive their wedding day with photos that tell the story of your day, exactly how you experienced it!
My relaxed day-of experience makes you feel comfortable in front of the camera and forget I’m there! And the result is beautiful candid photos full of emotions.
My candid-focused approach allows me to document your day as it naturally unfolds, by listening for laughter and looking for hugs, because that’s where the magic happens!
Always ready with guidance whenever you need me, I help you be completely present on your best day ever!
MEET YOUR SECOND PHOTOGRAPHER
My hubby Dennis! He not only takes a pretty damn good photo, he is also our timekeeper to make sure we stay on track, our navigator to get us to all places safely, and a calming presence when the excited nerves start to ramp up.
HERE’S HOW IT WORKS:
VIBE CHECK
We get to know each other. We’ll be spending a lot of time together on your day, it’s important we get along! So let’s have a quick chat to get to know each other!
PLANNING
We plan your day around what matters most to you and when the light is at its very best.
BEST DAY EVER
You have the perfect day. You take it all in, stay present, and celebrate your love in the most YOU way possible.
“Each one took me back to the moment.”
Vanessa is responsible, passionate, talented, and professional. After viewing these photos, each one took me back to the moment, filled with joy, happiness, tears, and honestly, tired. We appreciate every moment you capture during that day. They are so beautiful and we believe we will cherish them for our lives.

Online Gallery
The best way to share the story of your entire wedding day is through your online gallery.

FAQs

Absolutely! Modern elopements no longer adhere to the last-minute, 2-hour vibes. They are much more intentional and planned, including who celebrates with you! Keep it intimate with your 10 ride or dies, or enjoy a micro wedding-sized guest list with 50 of your closest family + friends!
-
No stress! All I need is the month you’re thinking of getting married and when I get any inquiries for that month, I’ll give you first right of refusal.
-
All good, let’s book you in for a 4 hour wedding/elopement and as wedding planning goes along, if you think you’ll need more time, we can easily add an extra hour or upgrade to the next package if that makes more sense.
-
Although I focus primarily on small weddings + adventure elopements, I do photograph the occasional big wedding (more than 50 guests), so drop me an email, because if nothing else, I can refer you to amazing photographers who will capture your day perfectly.
