I'm born and raised in New Hampshire, spend a lot of time outdoors, and believe that you deserve someone who takes great photos and provides an amazing experience.
You deserve a photographer that will spend thoughtful time with you and get to know you. Someone that will adventure outdoors and not worry about getting dirty. Build you a campfire at the end of the night and bring the s'mores. I'll carry all the important stuff, you only have to worry about looking good.
I love spending time up at our cabin in the woods surrounded by the White Mountains. It's a huge part of who I am and I've learned a lot of about myself from my hours spent there. I can't wait to learn how the outdoors has shaped you too.
When I'm not outside, you can find me thrifting new decor for my house or spending time with family and friends, spoiling my dog, making inspiration boards on Pinterest, or reading.
About Your Photographer
let's chat more
hey lovers, I'm vanessa - Your new adventure buddy and pro photographer.
That hunk standing next to me is my most favorite person in the world. His name is Arie and he's my husband! We grew up less than a quarter mile from each other and didn't connect until we hopped on a dating site. Fast forward four years later and he's down on one knee, in our favorite place, asking me to be his forever adventure buddy. (Photo credit to Emily Battles on the left, I took the rest!)
We have been lucky enough to experience so many beautiful places together. We've been to more than ten national parks and many states together. You might see him on your elopement day.
Just recently, Arie and I welcomed our first baby girl, Sawyer, to our family. She is the absolute light of our lives and we love her more and more everyday. I only take on a limited amount of dates now so that I can spend time with my family. Definitely contact me soon if you like what you see! (Photo credit to Lexi Foster Photography in the middle. I took the rest!)
Meet Arie, my forever adventure buddy
Happiness + Freedom
care for the environment
calmness + Stability
Creativity + Adventure
You value intentional time together, out in nature. You're a little introverted or don't want 300 eyeballs on you the entire day. I know for me, I've never resonated with a big wedding day. It doesn't feel like Arie and me. We feel the most connected and happy when we're exploring a new place. Or spending time outside relaxing and listening to the sounds that surround us. Trust me when I say, I get it!
does this sound like you:
What you deserve on your Big day:
My Favorite Girl, India
trust me, dogs are always welcome here
As you can see, this girl is my heart dog. She's the first dog that I've ever owned on my own, of course with Arie. That said, the day that Arie and I marry each other, this girl will be present. She'll be with me during the getting ready process, sit with us during part of our vows, and then adventure some more. So yeah, you can definitely bring your dog to your elopement or intimate wedding. You deserve someone who knows plenty of dog friendly places and will help you choose the best one!
