Let's adventure together
hey lovers, I'm vanessa
wedding: a meaningful celebration of love crafted by two people with a deep understanding of each other.
Kind words from Meaghan + drew
"Her ability to make you feel comfortable in front of the camera makes the entire experience so fun and you get such natural photos"
"From someone who typically never likes photos of themselves, Vanessa was able to capture so many photos that I absolutely adore! She is so kind and cares so deeply about making sure her clients are happy and will go above and beyond especially when the weather is not cooperating.
Vanessa is super communicative and guides you through the entire process. Her ability to make you feel comfortable in front of the camera makes the entire experience so fun and you get such natural photos. I cannot recommend her enough!"
"My husband and I are no where near naturals in front of the camera and yet Vanessa effortlessly guided us through the whole process and made us feel so comfortable."
kind words from hayley + taylor
"Do not hesitate on choosing Vanessa! She is kind, knows her craft, is super talented and is wholeheartedly invested in capturing the most beautiful photos for you! Vanessa has now taken both my engagement and anniversary photos and they are easily some of my favorite photos I’ve ever had taken. My husband and I are no where near naturals in front of the camera and yet Vanessa effortlessly guided us through the whole process and made us feel so comfortable. If you’re looking for someone who is invested in capturing the best for you, she’s your girl!"
"Not only did she hike up a mountain at dawn for us, she captured our ceremony beautifully despite pretty crazy wind!"
kind words from asha + matthew
"Vanessa photographed our COVID elopement and was incredible! Not only did she hike up a mountain at dawn for us, she captured our ceremony beautifully despite pretty crazy wind! The photo turnaround was (incredibly) quick and we have the most gorgeous photos for the rest of our lives. I highly recommend her to anyone and everyone!"
IMAGINE SAYING "I DO" TO YOUR BEST FRIEND, SURROUNDED BY A GROUP OF YOUR CLOSEST FAMILY MEMBERS AND FRIENDS, IN A PLACE YOU HOLD CLOSE TO YOUR HEART.

included in each package offered to you for the best experience possible!
permit assistance
location scouting
All you have to do for paperwork is sign your marriage license. Don't worry about calls with the state park and online meetings. Take your saved time and get outside to do something you love.
Don't worry about not knowing the area before your day. Instead, spend your time knowing that you'll see the most incredible places and landmarks. You'll eat incredible food and explore the most amazing spots.
timeline creation
Within 72 hours of your wedding, expect to see some photos in your inbox. After marrying your person, you want to show off all the magic! You'll be able to share some special images almost immediately with loved ones.
sneak peek photos
welcome box
vendor recommendations
One of the most important pieces of your day. This is something we create together to ensure that all the details of your day come together. Being organized is a great way to reduce stress and feel ready to go on your elopement day.
A little something to get you stoked. Inside you'll find a comprehensive elopement guide jam packed with amazing info. You'll also get a post card with a print shop code and some other gifts that I specifically pick out. We're not transactional over here. We get to know each other so that your experience is incredible.
Besides marrying each other, having an amazing vendor team is the next best on the list. Having a vendor team that works together well will ensure an incredible experience and photos to prove it.
Thinking of proposing soon?!
Let's make it happen!
Proposing to your partner is one of the most special days of both of your lives. The nerves leading up to it, the moment you ask, and the celebrations to come deserve to be remembered and captured.
I'll help you with all of the planning. Everything from locations, local florists and videographers to add to the day, and lastly, what "the plan" is when it comes time to ask. Trust me when I say, I have you covered and cannot wait to be part of this occasion with you both!

(This is my girl, India)
Did you know that many states allow your dog to sign as your witness? Or that they're allowed in some state parks and even a select amount of trails in our national park system? Pretty damn cool.
Let's find a dog friendly venue and let your other babe be part of the festivities. We can take portraits with your pup and then hand him or her over to a trusted member of the family for some of the day. Freakin' awesome if you ask me!
we want to bring our dog!
Let me guess, you want your dog with you on your day? Good news, you can!
Some of my favorite places outside New England include Alaska, the pacific northwest, and the southwest.
All my personal travel fees are included to make life nice and easy. No need to worry about your photographer getting there!
I'm based in New England but will travel to any and all the national parks in the United States. I'd also travel to parts of Europe, South America, and Asia.
Want to get married somewhere epic?
Nope! Part of the magic that comes with receiving your photos from me is seeing them as a finished product. Think of getting RAWS as the ingredients to your meal instead of the finished plate at a restaurant. Nobody wants that!
I can absolutely send you vendor recommendations and work with a planner to create your timeline, however; I don't consider myself a wedding planner. They'll be your go to's for reaching out to vendors, scheduling events for you, and more. I've worked with many amazing planners and can send them your way!
During my busy season, expect to wait 8-12 weeks for intimate weddings and 2-4 weeks for couples sessions. Depending on your coverage, expect anywhere from 450-800 for weddings and 75-150 for any other session.
Obviously, you can invite absolutely anyone you'd like to see present on your big day, however; I only take on intimate weddings with 100 or less guests in attendance.
