Danielle Sent on 04/10/2024Vanessa is an absolute JOY to work with. 10/10 book her for your wedding day!
Vanessa truly made our wedding day an extraordinary experience. Her ability to encapsulate the essence of each moment through her captivating storytelling was truly remarkable. She expertly guided and assisted all members of the wedding party, ensuring they felt at ease and confident in front of the camera. Prior to the big day, she diligently inquired about our goals, budget, and family dynamics, showcasing her commitment to understanding our vision. Moreover, her swift provision of proofs, just 12 hours post-wedding, exemplified her dedication and professionalism. Working with Vanessa was an absolute pleasure, and I wholeheartedly recommend her services. -

Jacqueline Sent on 10/04/2023Beyond 5 star Service
Vanessa Joy Photography deserves more than a 5-star rating for the absolutely outstanding job they did at our wedding. Vanessa and her team are true professionals who go above and beyond to capture the most memorable moments of our special day. Her work seemed effortless even with a bridal party of 33 people and a wedding of almost 400 people.
She took the time to understand our vision and preferences, ensuring that our wedding photos would be uniquely tailored to our style. Her expertise and attention to detail were evident throughout the entire process.
On our wedding day, Vanessa and her team were punctual, organized, and an absolute joy to work with. Their professionalism and commitment to... -

Samantha Sent on 01/04/2023Such a Joy to work with!
From start to finish, Vanessa was just a joy to work with! She made us feel comfortable from our initial call, to our engagement session, to our wedding day. We were blown away with not only her talent (and she's incredibly talented!) and professionalism, but by how thoughtful she was - we received a beautiful cheeseboard with our name engraved when we booked our wedding with her, and then received a camera right before our wedding with the sweetest note.
Our wedding day felt so easy and relaxed, we owe a big part of that to Vanessa and her team. She knew our venue and the best places to take photos and where the light was best. Our... -

Madeleine Sent on 11/22/2022The Best Photographer
Vanessa is truly amazing. She is professional, organized, hard-working, and easy to work with. She makes you feel relaxed when she takes your picture and will suggest poses so you do not have to worry about looking bad. Not only did our photos turn out stunning, but at our wedding reception she gave us an iPad so we could see photos of us getting ready, our first look, the wedding party, and our ceremony. The quality was amazing and as we viewed the photos, our entire wedding party and some additional guests gathered around us so they could see the photos as well. Everyone was amazed at how incredible the photos looked. Ever commenting they looked straight out of... -

It was super cool to be able to see some photo selects as well as a quick edit of the video during the reception! They did beautiful work and were lovely to be around. -

Vanessa was unbelievable to work with from the moment we hired her until our grand exit on wedding day. Her team showed up and went straight to work, they were incredibly organized, efficient, and had the amazing ability to make me and every single person in front of her lens feel comfortable. Vanessa was able to capture our love in such a natural and beautiful way, and I'm so grateful we invested in the photos we'll be loving for a lifetime. I will forever be raving about her talent, hard-work, and professionalism. Thank you Vanessa! -

Sarah Sent on 06/13/2022Highly recommend this amazing talented photographer!!! Thank you Vanessa!!!
I cannot thank Vanessa and her team enough for capturing our wedding in such a special way! From the minute we spoke to Vanessa on the phone back in 2020, we knew she was the one for us. She is down to earth, talented but most importantly she is professional and organized when it comes to your wedding day. We had our engagement shoot done and both my husband and I were nervous about feeling awkward in posed pictures, but Vanessa made it fun and light! When we got our pictures back, we were amazed with her talent and knew we had made the right decision. We used our engagement shoot photos for many many things leading up to... -

Jia B. Sent on 04/03/2022Amazing Experience with Vanessa Joy Photography team
We had to reschedule our wedding three times because of the pandemic. Found Vanessa Joy online and fell in love with the story telling, color grading and the whole package from previous portfolio. When the day came, Nino and the team was super punctual and professional. They made the day less stressful for both me, my husband and the whole wedding party. The post wedding day services was top notch as well including the album arrangement, thank you cards and so many more. Would definitely recommend to any one I know. Thank you! -

Marie Sent on 02/19/2022Wedding Wonders
Vanessa made my wedding feel so unique and precious with the way she styled her photographs. She made sure all my needs were met and the few requests I had were overwhelmingly done beyond perfection. I was more than happy with her style and technique of placement for her photography, and If I were to ever have another special event as memorable as my wedding, I will most definitely choose her as my photographer.
Thank you Vanessa! I cannot wait to see the outcome. We (Husband and I) thank you graciously. And lastly, apologies again, for our little monkey causing so much chaos. We greatly appreciated your patience with him, and ability to still take beautiful photos.... -

Kirsten Sent on 09/26/2021Amazing experience with top-notch photographer
I would highly recommend Vanessa. I can’t imagine a better photographer. We are thrilled with her work!
Vanessa and her team were the photographers at my September 2021 rehearsal dinner and wedding at Glenmere Mansion in NY. We booked Vanessa about a year in advance on recommendation from our wedding planner. There were a lot of fun touches she did leading up to the wedding day that made us feel like we made the right choice – from a cutting board with my new last name on it to a polaroid camera she sent to us at our home in Colorado, she made us feel very confident in our decision.
My now husband and I... -

Vanessa Joy that is...I can honestly say that the easiest decision I had to make for my wedding was choosing Vanessa Joy as my photographer. Her beautiful work speaks for itself and once the commitment was made, I never gave it a second thought or looked back to question it again. The day of my wedding Vanessa and her team were perfect professionals. They were precisely placed to capture all the special moments throughout the evening but my guests and I barely even realized they were there. My photos are everything I dreamed they would be and I would absolutely recommend Vanessa Joy to other brides. -

Christina Sent on 08/24/2021Vanessa and her team were a pleasure to work with!
Vanessa and her team were a pleasure to work with to capture not only our small micro wedding in 2020, but also our full wedding in 2021. From the beginning when you decide to work with her, she and her team are very responsive and answer any and all questions you may have. They were always professional and friendly which made it a smooth process leading up to the wedding day and then on the day of. They are prompt showing up on time and get straight to work to capture every small detail of your day. Vanessa guides you throughout the day showing you the best poses and best locations to capture the perfect pictures. The quality of... -

Ashley Sent on 07/05/2021Incredible experience - goes above & beyond!!
Vanessa and her team were absolutely incredible. I’m so happy we went with her for our wedding day. From my experience with her on our foggy weather engagement shoot, I knew that despite whatever weather was thrown our way, our pictures would still come out incredible and it would be one less thing to worry about. Needless to say, our wedding day (and first look) started out with rain and the pictures came out so dreamy despite the weather.
I have to say though, Vanessa really went above and beyond in every aspect leading up to our wedding day as well as the actual day itself. She has a gentle sureness about her that gives you this... -

Karissa Sent on 06/08/2021So much better than I could have ever asked or imagined.
I was definitely a nervous bride and a bride that wanted things to run smoothly. Vanessa was there to help with both of those things. Right away I felt comfortable with Vanessa. She started by bringing me a latte and letting me know that I could just do my thing and she’d be there. She’s exactly what you need. She also had photos placed in an miniature accordion photo album literally the same night as the wedding. Amazing! She laughed with me and calmed me. If you need a photographer ladies, hire her. -

Ashley Sent on 02/05/2015Vanessa has captured the most important special day of our lives. She is a true professional, creative, funny, extremely talented and such a joy to work with. She is constantly pushing herself to the limit with her talent and it definitely shows in her amazing work. We couldn't be more happier with our photos. We are truly blessed with all these amazing, beautiful memories she has captured. -

Jaclyn Sent on 07/01/2014Without question, Vanessa and here team were our favorite part of our wedding (other than one another, of course). From the time we met with her to make initial arrangements for our wedding, up until the big day, she was an absolute pleasure to work with. Vanessa was able to capture our hearts with her photos and all her unique touches. I would recommend her to any bride and groom wanting piece of mind. I promise their day will be captured with nothing short of perfection. The day of the wedding, almost nothing goes perfectly. What we loved most, is how smoothly pictures went. There were a few hiccups with some of the other logistics/vendors, but Vanessa and her... -

Alison Sent on 07/11/2013I'm sure that you've heard that of all the vendors you will work with on your wedding day, your photographer will no doubt be the most important. You will be with them for the majority of the day and it is so important that you feel super comfortable with them. Well, it's definitely true; and with that being said, Vanessa and her team are nothing short of amazing. Once the big day came, it felt like we were already longtime friends and I was thrilled that she was there to capture every moment. She is the most professional, friendly, and wonderful person to work with and I cannot say enough good things about her work. We felt like she... -

Jacqueline Sent on 09/17/2012Initially we chose Vanessa because of her style, we felt she was the perfect mix of traditional and contemporary. We found Vanessa online while browsing for local photographers. When the big day came, the job Vanessa and her assistants did was absolutely phenomenal and surpassed our expectations! We couldn't have been more pleased with how accomodating and professional Vanessa and her crew were. Most importantly they all made us feel at ease on what can be a pretty hectic day. We never worried for one moment about any detail related to photography. Our family and friends were blown away by the pictures at the reception and I was shocked to receive a gift (at the end of my reception!)... -

![Diane]()
Diane Sent on 04/17/2010Vanessa and her team were beyond five stars in EVERY category. Vanessa even put an album together for us as a surprise DURING our reception. The slideshow was up during the reception and compliments from our guests started rolling in. It didn't even occur to me that the pictures on the slideshow were of my new husband and me. I didn't think it could be put together so quickly and so beautifully. I could continue to write about how awesome and breath-taking our wedding photos are because of Vanessa and her team, but I'm going to end by saying: Why are you still reading this?!? Book Vanessa NOW! You will have NO regrets. -

Amazing Person and Beautiful Work, Engagement & Wedding Photography
My wife and I can’t say enough good things about Vanessa Joy and her work! We first met Vanessa back in 2021, when she did our engagement photos in Austin, Texas. We loved our engagement photos so much that we had to have her photograph our wedding! Her photos are beyond beautiful and she is amazing to work with. Not only did she beautifully capture some of the most cherished moments in our lives, we also believe her photos helped us adopt our baby. My wife and I recently grew our family through adoption and we credit Vanessa’s work to helping us get matched with our baby’s birth mom, as we used our photos from Vanessa to create our... -
