We couldn’t be happier with how our engagement and wedding photos came out! We first worked with Vanessa on our engagement photos and from the very first photos she snapped, we knew she was the one. Not only is she professional, organized, and personable, but truly someone we enjoyed spending a lot of time with as she is funny, curious, and earnestly wants to get to know her clients in order to produce photos that are beautiful for all to see but most importantly are precious and personal for the bride and groom and their family to enjoy and remember for years to come. We loved working with Vanessa!

Having Vanessa by our side on our special day meant the world to us! From our very first conversation, both my husband and I immediately connected with her. Vanessa is dedicated to going the extra mile, she scouts out the perfect locations for photographs and she meticulously plans, I think this adds a special touch to her work. She found the ideal spots for our first look, bridal party, and family photos. Her calm and organized approach ensured that everything went according to schedule on our wedding day. The photos she took were truly exceptional, capturing the essence of our love perfectly. We are overjoyed with how our album turned out and wholeheartedly recommend Vanessa with Lovely Day Lens to other couples in search of a phenomenal photographer.
