[The pictures] are a stunning reflection of everything we wanted our wedding to be and who we are as a couple.” - Danielle & Michael Best Choice: “The day of the wedding, almost nothing goes perfectly. When the cake was cut, and no one was around to serve it! Vanessa came to the rescue, grabbed the plate and scooped a piece on so we could share the moment. She is very professional, kind, and willing to work around any schedules or props you provide to her. She is one of the most creative photographers we have ever seen. Vanessa and her team didn’t skip a beat or miss a single detail. If their is one thing I could pass on to future brides, it would be to hire Vanessa. She was, without question, the very best investment we made in our day.” - Jaclyn & Adam Responsive: “She is a true professional with such talent and eye for detail; her pictures are vibrant and dynamic. Vanessa is also an approachable, friendly person in general, and that made being in front of the camera so much more comfortable! She is very responsive to emails and phone calls and will answer any and ALL questions.” - Danielle & Collin Attentive: “Vanessa is AMAZING!!! Friends and family members haven’t stopped complimenting us on the photos and are super eager to get their own copies. But what makes her really fantastic is her way of working. She really puts you at ease during shoots. She really went above and beyond for us — from arriving early to showing me how pin a handkerchief to my bouquet to making a trip out to London (where we lived during our engagement) for our engagement shoot! It’s also worth noting that she is supported by a great team. They were all an absolute pleasure — super friendly and attentive.” - Kelly & Chris

Let me start by saying I knew how amazing Vanessa was years ago! We got to work together on David Tutera for his television show which was such an amazing experience. Vanessa is just so sweet and really listens when you tell her your vision. She has an amazing eye for the small details. The pictures were also ready to view the same night of the wedding. Our guests thought that was so cool! We are so incredibly happy to know you, have worked with you, and have you a part of our special day! Thank you so much for capturing all the beautiful moments from our day. We simply love you!” — Gina — “Vanessa Joy and the team has been a dream to work with from the moment Vince and I had our first wedding call session. Vanessa and Jaye were very responsive to any and all creative inquires we had. Our wedding day was truly magical in the sense that, at times, we would forget they were there — they made us feel so comfortable. At the end of the night, we were surprised by Vanessa when she handed us a mini photo booklet which had Vanessa’s favorites from the day! What a Joy! Vanessa Joy Photography is best in class!” — Adana and Vincent — “From start to finish Vanessa was such a dream to work with. She answered any and all (and I mean all) questions, helped us work through nervous jitters and helped direct our families, bridesmaids and groomsmen on our wedding day in order to ensure my husband and I got every picture we wanted. We had asked her if she could share a little preview with us after the wedding and she beyond met expectations, going so far as to send us images on our actual wedding night! We cannot say enough positive things about Vanessa and highly recommend her.” — Maddy — “When my husband and I first spoke about what was important for us to invest in for our wedding day, photography was at the very top of our lists. It’s the one aspect of your wedding that you can take away and look back on for years to come. Hiring Vanessa was the best decision we made. It started at our engagement photos when we realized how special she was. She has a way of making you feel extremely comfortable in front of a camera. She also lets you be yourselves.” — Monica — “Over the past year of planning our wedding, Vanessa and Jaye were kind, attentive, organized and professional. They quickly answered any and all of our questions and we never once had any stress regarding our wedding photography! Their attention to detail and attention to us was remarkable! My husband and I cannot stop saying how blown away we are by our photos and that they are actually ours, and our family and friends were raving at how gorgeous the few photos we were able to see on our wedding day were!” — Jeannine —
