    I couldn't believe it...

    While rating 5 stars across the board may seem like cheating, Vanessa truly deserves all the stars I can give her. My wife and I flew from Illinois to Isabela for our wedding, and event though it was a very small affair, her pictures made our ceremony seem like all the world was in attendance. Her professionalism cannot be questioned; she responded promptly to all communications and left no questions unanswered.
    Her ability to corral a bunch of military veterans that comprised the wedding party should be enough of a recommendation! That, and the fact that my wife looked even more beautiful and amazing through the lens...words cannot express. If you are planning your ceremony in Puerto Rico, you definitely need to engage Vanessa's services!

    Vanessa is ALL PRO!!!

    Vanessa was recommended to me by my late sister Lisa, who was helping to plan my wedding before her untimely passing (she was also an events coordinator and wedding vendor on WW for over a decade, so had looked into vendors for me). Although it was painful that my sister couldn't be there in person, my God, her connecting me with Vanessa is nothing short of divine intervention -- b/c Vanessa's talent is heaven sent! Also, even though my day was chaotic with many up to the last minute scheduling changes befitting of an overly ambitious DIY event, Vanessa had the patience of a saint, working with and around the chaos, seamlessly capturing details and highlights that was beyond what I even imagined! She is blessed with awesome skills... my sister helped me plan this right. There is an angelic, soft, romantic, ethereal feel to her work -- just exquisite! I am still stunned with her attention to details and how gorgeous her photos came out. I cannot thank you enough Vanessa -- you are simply an amazing PRO!!!!

    Surpassed My Expectations!

    Vanessa and her assistant are great professionals. I feel weird in front of a camera but they made sure to make me feel as comfortable as possible. They easily understood our concept and the photographs look amazing! Definitely recommend!!

    Phenomenal Photographer

    When starting our search for a photographer we knew we wanted someone who had shot at our venue and utilized photojournalism. Each search pointed directly to Vanessa. She answered questions promptly and was always prepared. I could not picture our wedding day without Vanessa and her second shooter, Maiki. The professionalism yet the ability to be relaxed and have fun truly shows what an art and pleasure it was to have them be a part of our day. Guests even noted aside from formal pictures one did not even know they were there. The amazing shots and quality are breathtaking. Absolutely would work with Vanessa again!

    Spectacular

    Vanessa was very professional and went out of her way to meet with me virtually to discuss our wedding vision. In addition to the wedding venue and reception we wanted pictures at the beach, we were able to arrange a separate day to do this, to not delay our wedding reception for too long, keep our guests happy and decrease our stress. We got dressed up a few wks later to do this additional shoot but it was well worth it. The photos are beautiful, great quality and the albums are perfect.

    Villa Montaña Beach Resort Wedding

    Vanessa came highly recommended to me by one of my besties. She has a romantic style & knew the venue premises well which made it easier to capture the essence of our mini elopement. She is reasonably priced & I would contract her again for future photo sessions.

    Beyond incredible!

    From the moment we spoke on the phone, I fell in love with Vanessa. We had been searching for a while for a good photographer, so finding her was a true blessing. When we meet in person, she was kind, sweet, and had an amazing eye for details which I appreciated. Her and her assistant directed and coordinated some truly beautiful pictures that really brought out our "under-the-sea" destination wedding. I would recommend her to EVERYONE! If we renew our vow and go back to Rincon, I'd definitely hire her again.

    Absolutely amazing!

    We hosted a destination wedding In Puerto Rico in June 2022. After researching local photographers I decided to reach out to Vanessa. She did not disappoint! Timely communication, answered my questions easily. Day of event, very professional! Accommodated every request.
    Photos arrived in a timely manner.
    Incredibly happy with how she captured our event!

    We loved Vanessa!!

    I hired Vanessa for my destination wedding in Rincon. Being that it was a destination wedding, I hadn't met with her before the day of the wedding. This did not matter at all! The second I met Vanessa, she immediately made me feel so comfortable. My husband and I had a great time with her. I haven't gotten all my pictures back yet, but the sneak peak she shared WAS INCREDIBLE. They truly made my jaw drop. Vanessa's work is amazing, she is truly talented. You will not regret hiring Vanessa for your wedding.

    Amazing Experience!

    When I initially started to look for photographers, Vanessa was the first one I came across! I wanted to consider other photographers as to not settle for the first one I found, but Vanessa’s work resonated with me. We did an engagement shoot so I would understand how she worked, she made us feel so comfortable & understood. Her approach is encouraging and reminds you that after all, you are here for one of the most romantic moments of your life! My photos are still receiving compliments 1 year later. I truly cannot thank her enough.

    Best wedding photographer ever!

    Vanessa Vargas Photography was everything I and the groom wanted for our wedding. The team was punctual, spontaneous, and extremely helpful in guiding us through posing for our pictures. They captured every single detail of our wedding, even the smallest ones. Best of all, Vanessa Vargas Photography went above and beyond to match our Star Wars wedding theme!!! The final pictures are beautiful, exceptional, and of the utmost quality. Do not hesitate to have Vanessa Vargas Photography for your event. 100% recommended.

I would 1000% recommend her for any event you need a photographer.

    Phenomenal photographer

    We had a somewhat unique, very relaxed wedding. The only vendor we wanted was a photographer so everyone there could focus on enjoying themselves and not have to have their phones out. Vanessa’s photos were absolutely gorgeous and captured some of my favorite parts of the wedding. Her and her team were extremely professional and so sweet. Hiring vendors you’ve never met in a place far from home can be a little scary but Vanessa made the process so easy. We were so lucky to find her and would absolutely hire her again and again!

    Beautifully Detailed

    Except for the more staged shots, we never really noticed her taking pictures throughout the event. I say this as a good thing, since she wasn’t in the way or obstructive. Once you see the pictures, you notice how spectacular they are, even when nobody was posing for them. Her personality is also a big plus. She knew exactly what to do, to get everyone into a jovial mood, which did wonders for the pictures. I highly recommend.
