happy couples - rave reviews

Lauren + Thomas

Vanessa was fantastic throughout our entire wedding process. Finding a vendor out of state was worrisome at first but I liked her portfolio and she was so easy to work with. On our wedding day it was hot Louisiana weather and she was working her tail off without complaint and capturing the most amazing photos we could have hoped for. Would recommend her for anyone looking for someone with a great eye and great easy going personality to lessen the stress of such an important day. Have received many compliments on our photos from friends and family!

Vanessa was our photographer for our wedding June 2019. She was amazing throughout the entire process! She was extremely helpful with the timeline for the day of the wedding! Her experience as a photographer really showed when planning out the day. The day of the wedding she made all of us feel very comfortable in front camera which is difficult to do since we most of us are camera shy! The pictures came out amazing and we are so happy them!

We chose Vanessa to be our wedding photographer based off of her experience (take a look at her website!) & wedding wire reviews, since we planned our Destination wedding from Tampa FL it was important to us to have someone dependable & knowledgeable. She more than exceeded our expectations! Our engagement and Wedding photos were so beautiful and exactly the style I was going for! She was very professional, friendly, flexible and talented! She made my fiancé feel very comfortable and we had a blast during our time with her while she caught all our special moments! I would highly recommend Vanessa Rachel Photography!

If only I were as good with words as Vanessa is with photography. She’s professional, personal, flexible, and most importantly she takes amazing photographs. From day 1 Vanessa works with you every step of the way. On our wedding day she accomplished everything we asked in a timely and organized manner. I’ll never be able to repay what she did for my bride and me. Thanks again Vanessa!

Vanessa is truly gifted and did far more than photograph our daughter’s wedding; she captured all the emotion of a memorable day. From the single tear falling down the grooms face to the expression on mine when I saw my daughter in her gown. Not to mention the magnificent outdoor shots of the bridal party and candid pictures of one very happy bride and groom.

Thank you Vanessa for the outstanding photojournalistic wedding service you provided Michael & I on our wedding day! We were absolutely impressed and you exceeded everyone one of our expectations. You captured the true essence and love of the day. The set of photos we now own is a true work of art! Maureen & Michael
