Vail Fucci Photography

an. SHORT VERSION - her pictures of our wedding day were magnificent, and we couldn't have hoped for more. MORE DETAIL - After a few minutes of speaking with her, we knew she was the one - and OHMIGOSH are we lucky we did. Vail was there for us, literally there for us, every step of the way. Her responsiveness is unbelievable - and Vail was a guide through the whole wedding process. She helped us pick our florist, vidoegrpaher, honeymoon destination, bridal party gifts - Vail's care and compassion carries over into every single thing she does. A few immediate family members are cognitively impaired and have mobility issues. Vail drove to our hotel a month before (more than an hour from her house), scouted around, and found amazing locations right in the hotel parking lot. On the day of, one family member fell and cut his forehead deeply. Vail had her trusty "emergency kit" - she put an invisible band aid on - it was the perfect size to cover the cut (a big one), and no one really could even tell. She also fixed the bride's dress with pliers from her magic pack at one point. After the wedding, we heard similar stories from other family members about how Vail swooped in and made a situation better. She did so many behind the scenes kindnesses, that many in our family even called her our guardian angel. I think there's some truth to this. Vail has such a talent for building trust so people enjoy having their picture taken during the portraits. When our ring bearer and flower girl were shy, Vail did the most hilarious booty dance to get them laughing. She's known as the dancing photographer - and here's the scoop. Vail is an amazing dancer - she dances to capture the wonder of the event. She also dances to get people dancing- during a lull in our reception, Vail got a dance circle going, complete with people clapping. Then she swooped the bride and me (groom) for one of the best photo ops ever. Time and time again, we were blown away by her creativity. Did I mention the pictures were BREATHTAKING? Vail also does a preview slideshow on the i-pad, usually on display on a stand for the whole reception. She saw my parents, due to health issues, were kind of stuck at their table. So Vail changed the plan and brought the i-pad to them. They were so happy, and thrilled to see the pictures. And then, because she is brilliant and understands people so well, she brought the i-pad show to the bride's parents. Vail is one of the most talented photographers I have ever met. Since the photographer is the person you spend most of your day with, the fact that she is one of the most wonderful people we have ever met almost guarantees you will have the day of your dreams. With Vail's help, we did. And we are so blessed she was there to capture it.

g. And they did! She is a true pleasure to work with, incredibly detail oriented, and responds to emails very quickly. She gets to know you and listens to how you would like your photos to look overall. She is kind and professional as well. Vail was much more than just a photographer on the wedding day. She arrived early to set up, kept everyone on schedule through out the day and evening, and even brought out her sewing kit to fix my belt when I was getting ready! I felt that Vail went above and beyond to capture the best wedding photos. She spent a few hours the week before the wedding scouting out the scene and places to capture photos. She knew our immediate family and wedding party by names in order to help people feel comfortable and keep formal pictures efficient. Vail also was genuinely happy for my husband and I and was excited to be a part of our day. This meant the most to me, as you spend a good portion of your wedding day with your photographer. I would highly recommend Vail to any future brides!!!!

wedding. We had amazing vendors, but Vail ended up being the very BEST decision we made. Vail does one wedding per weekend, visits the venue beforehand to check out lighting & the best spots for photos, and truly wants the bride & groom to have an amazing, stress-free wedding day. Vail stayed in touch with me over my nine months of planning, and answered every question. Our engagement photos were included in the package, and I chose to do them on the coldest day in February on the beach. (my mistake) Vail made the best of it, staying upbeat & bubbly, getting great shots and warming us up in her car between takes. But our wedding day was when Vail really became the ultimate wedding photographer. She was 7.5 months pregnant at our wedding and every bit the positive & professional photographer. She brought an extra shooter so we ended up with 3 amazing photographers! Vail knew the best way to get me into my dress, smoothed away potential back fat, got my husband to smile & laugh when he was nervous, called everyone in the wedding party & family member by name (which led to very fast & efficient photos!) had double sided tape to stick feathers back to my dress, got a bandaid when my husband cut his finger before the first dance, and danced with her pregnant belly to get my flower girl to smile in the pictures! Our friends kept asking where we found such a fantastic photographer, & my married friends kept saying, "my photographer never did that!" Our "sneak peak" photos are incredible, as I'm sure the rest will be. We are so thankful that we found Vail, I hope every couple is so lucky. We highly recommend Vail & Fucci's Photos, you will not be disappointed, and she will exceed your expectations! Thank you Vail, Shawn & Dan for such a fantastic day!
