For couples who want to remember
how it felt, not how they posed.

Wedding photographer based in Portland, Oregon, documenting celebrations throughout the Pacific Northwest and beyond.

Hello, It’s Vanessa

Full wedding days. Engagement sessions. Real stories, from beginning to end.

What am I supposed to do with my hands?

You don't need to know how to pose.

You don't need to know where to look.

And yes, I'll tell you what to do with your hands.

My job isn't to direct every moment. It's to help you settle in, forget about the camera, and come back to the day. That's when the photographs start to feel like you.

If this feels like your kind of day...

I'd love to hear about your plans.

Whether you're getting married close to home or somewhere you've always wanted to explore, tell me about it.
