Photography by Vee

came out perfectly--beyond what we were hoping for and envisioning. Vee, thank you for capturing so many special and precious moments for our engagement and our wedding that feels super reflective of us! Vee’s photography style is colorful, vibrant, and full of life, which was a big reason why we wanted to work with her and we are so glad that we did. Vee is very easy to work with and she made us feel comfortable from the very first meeting through our wedding day. For the high caliber of work Vee does, Vee’s pricing is extremely reasonable. We have no idea how she filmed AND photographed us and our loved ones so dynamically as a one-person team, but she delivered way beyond our expectations. If you’re looking for a photographer in the Bay Area to capture your essence and special moments for special events or occasion, who is friendly and warm, and esp if you gravitate towards colorful, natural, fun photos, Vee is your person! If your wedding is ~100 and you have the means, we'd recommend her package with one additional team member since we now know the overwhelming amount of work it takes for one person to shoot and also help folks get positioned and organized for posed shots. For our engagement shoot, Vee trekked it all the way to the Diablo Foothills and braved muddy conditions to get amazing photos of us. While we tried to plan ahead with the trails, we didn’t realize how muddy it would be, but Vee was understanding and adjusted thoughtfully to find the best location for lighting and background. Her direction and guidance was super helpful and Vee just made us feel at ease to be ourselves despite us not being camera people. Our photos ranged from fun and loving to romantic and serious. We had no idea we could take photos like that! Our families were so excited when they received the photos and loved how the photos were reflective of who we are together. On our wedding day, Vee arrived a bit earlier and kindly offered to start then. Vee took so many lovely photos of everyone for all the different events at multiple locations (hotel, ceremony at Old Mill Park Amphitheater, reception at Mill Valley Recreation Center): getting ready, first look, ceremony, family and friends, couple shots, and our reception which included detail shots of the setting / decor. We had forgotten to mention that we would have loved to get some photos of our decor and venue so we’re so grateful that she knew to get those. We were so impressed by all the different angles and shots she was able to get from the ceremony, which we hadn’t realized she even did–a testament to her ability to make us as comfortable and least self-conscious as possible. Vee shared an incredible amount of finished photos of our day, so we cannot even begin to imagine how many raw photos she took and then how much time it took to then edit and curate the ones that she selected to send us. Finally, we were so happy with the highlight reel she made–we thought it was so reflective of how the day felt for us: the joy, the laughter, the fun, and the overwhelming amount of love we felt from all of our families and friends. Vee, thank you so much for being our photographer and allowing us and our loved ones to shine in the photos on this very special day for us. We hope we get to work with you again in the future!

s able to instruct me on poses. I received the final pictures in a few short weeks. I'm absolutely amazed by them! Highly recommend Vee for your next photoshoot.

ere outstanding. Vee's has a great eye for capturing the essence of each moment, creating beautifully composed images that perfectly reflected the joy and love of our special day. The pictures were ready faster than we expected.

ng. On our wedding day, Vee was 100%. She and her second shooter came on time, had a great attitude, and made me feel very comfortable even if I was getting a little bit stressed out(about getting ready) in the bridal suite. Vee was collaborative and communicated well during the entire process. She delivered exceptional work that my husband and I are so happy with! She also sent us photos quicker than I expected. We are so happy that we had Vee to capture our beautiful day.

all of which we love. My husband and I are not super comfortable in front of a camera, but Vee made us feel at ease from the first shoot and gave us lots of instruction on where to look, how to position ourselves, etc. On the wedding day, I was SO grateful to have Vee as my photographer. She was positive, calming, and great with our families. She also took care to make sure my dress was fluffed and looked its best before every picture. Communication was always prompt and detailed and the turnaround time on the pictures and video was super quick as well. Thank you Vee!!

ith Vee. She makes you feel so comfortable in front of the camera. On the day of the wedding she and her assistant were flexible, had great energy, and captured our day and all of our guests so perfectly. When we received our photos (very timely) they took us right back to the day. Vee also created a short video of our day and it was a beautiful addition and had us all crying all over again! Do yourself a favor and book Vee for your special day. You will not regret it!

r engagement shoot and the wedding. We were hoping to find something that was both affordable and someone we could connect with and Vee was beyond our expectations. She really cares about building relationships and capturing your vision just right. We can't recommend her enough!

video chats which was really nice. Vanessa was amazing to work with and seemed to be everywhere at once on our wedding. My partner and I loved all the beautiful candid photos she took in addition to some really great natural looking pictures that were actually posed. She helped us feel more relaxed even though we had never worked with a professional photographer before. The quality and vividness of the photos is amazing. I am so happy we found Vanessa. Thank you so much and we can't wait to work with you again in the future.

er gotten professional photos taken before. She communicates really well, always responds promptly and is always on time. She is down to earth which we really appreciated and she has a great turnaround time for really amazing work. She and her assistant were really awesome during our wedding, making us feel comfortable and helping with the nerves. Our wedding photos came out amazing- we’ve gotten so many compliments on them, and the highlight video was a really beautiful added bonus! 10/10 would recommend. Thank you so much Vee!!

ork. For starters, her communication was consistent and she helped answer any questions I had along the way. Vanessa and her assistant were incredible and I’m truly thankful for choosing her to capture our big day. We have received so many wonderful compliments on the photos and video and everyone said how great the photography and video were ! It was everything we envisioned and more. I would highly recommend her to future couples!!

her prices were very reasonable. I hired her for my engagement photos and wedding day. I'm so glad I did! She was such an easy and flexible person to work with -- especially since our original wedding plans had to be adjusted due to the pandemic. I highly recommend Vanessa to be your wedding photographer! And I also recommend you purchase the highlight video add-on that she offered in her services. The highlight video turned out AMAZING and I've watched it several times already. Still makes me tear up.

ortable to work with! She is great at communication and answers our questions promptly. Vee delivers her work as promised and the turnaround time is pretty quick! She recently captured our wedding and I just couldn’t wait to see her work. As soon as I received that email in the middle of the night, I immediately opened it and it was so worth the wait. Vee captured our day so beautifully and I have been sharing our gallery to everyone including our other vendors! Everyone has been complimenting how gorgeous the pictures are! I have been looking at the pictures almost everyday and reliving the day all over again! Thank you so much Vee!!

ot a natural in front of the camera like my wife but she helped with positioning. She’s very professional and easy to work with. On top of the amazing photos she captured, she made a highlight video that reminded us so much of our day! Definitely would recommend her! Thanks Vee!

t she was amazing to work with.

g with this, she is extremely pleasant, accommodating, responsive and receptive. As well as affordable. Thank you Vee for beautifully capturing our once in a lifetime moment!

per timeline with Vanessa and made it easier for us both. The day of the wedding, despite having multiple locations she was able to be at each site on time and ready to get started. I had lots of complements from family members saying she was "on it" and she discreetly make her way around crowds to get amazing shots. The quality of the pictures were more than expected. I was legitimately blown away by the pictures she was able to capture with the tons of emotions shown We had received our photos quickly after the we returned from our honeymoon. The whole process was easy and quick and her instructions were pretty easy to follow. I would recommend Vanessa for any special event!

- Vee is all of these things and more. We felt very comfortable working with her and asked her to completely run the couples shoot, but it was clear that she intended to be responsive to any/all our requests, had we made any. My mom was particularly impressed that Vee was barely noticeable moving about during the ceremony, but suddenly captured everyone's attention when it was needed for group pictures. Just a few days later she sent us a highlights video (a compilation of 1-2 second clips) that somehow captured all of our favorite moments and, much more vividly than a picture, invokes the same magic and happiness I felt on that day. And if you're watching the purse, Vee's services are very affordable. Remarkable value for cost, particularly the video!

k both engagement and wedding photos with her, both of which turned out beautifully, and she got them back to us very quickly! The wedding day was perfect and she was able to capture all the memorable moments without us feeling like there was a camera on us. Thank you so much Vee for the beautiful memories.

and she loves how Vanessa was able to capture everything so beautifully that she felt like she was really there!! Thank you Vanessa!!

he would reliably be there catching our best moments. Vee was also affordable, communicative, and had great suggestions

fessional who is flexible, friendly, has a passion and talent for what she does. She did both our engagement and our wedding, and all of our pictures turned out fantastic and has an uncanny ability to make even the most camera-shy people incredibly comfortable as she captures what has become two of the best days of our lives. Vee isn’t the most expensive photographer out there (Win!), but that doesn’t mean she’s not one of, if not the best in the business as far as quality goes. As a musician, I’ve gigged plenty of weddings and have seen very expensive photographers unable to deliver the service and quality that she does, for 3x or more the price (Super Win!). She’s excellent at communication, catering to your needs and getting the shots that you want and need, keeps you comfortable while doing a very good job in the delicate balancing act of being flexible with your schedule and keeping you to the schedule when you need to. The photographer typically tends to double as a mini coordinator for most weddings, and Vee has that part of her game dialed in as well. Every shot from both our engagement shoot and our wedding were absolutely stunning, and we couldn’t believe the number of pictures we had received and the sheer professional look and character every shot possessed. Her style is very classic with a photojournalistic approach; every picture seems and can capture a moment, emotion, and tells a story. Pictures are not overly edited, and avoids the pitfall of falling into trendy pictures which so many photographers seems to fall into. Her pictures are vibrant with color and have the ability to withstand a lifetime, making her work incredibly timeless. We hired Vee as our photographer and loved her. If you’re looking for a professional photographer with the experience, know how, talent and most importantly the love and passion for what they do, there is not a better photographer out there than Vee.

e hadn't consulted a proper timeline with Vanessa and made it easier for us both. The day of the wedding, despite having multiple locations she was able to be at each site on time and ready to get started. I had lots of complements from family members saying she was "on it" and she discreetly make her way around crowds to get amazing shots. The quality of the pictures were more than expected. I was legitimately blown away by the pictures she was able to capture with the tons of emotions shown We had received our photos quickly after the we returned from our honeymoon. The whole process was easy and quick and her instructions were pretty easy to follow. I would recommend Vanessa for any special event!

unication via email was always quick, informative, and professional. Just how I like it! The whole booking process was painless and well-organized. I really appreciated how she was thoughtful of my needs. You could always tell she had the bride and groom's interest and happiness in mind. We booked her for our engagement shoot and wedding and I'm so glad we did! It gave us a chance to get to know each other before the big day. During the engagement shoot, I was able to observe how committed she was to her craft. She scouted the place beforehand to find the right spots and coached with our posing the entire time. That was very helpful! Little did I know that this was only a small glimpse into her work ethic. She went above and beyond during our wedding day. Vanessa arrived early carrying all her gear. She wasted no time at all and started taking pictures. I was pretty anxious that day, but it was a comfort to know that she was there capturing all the great memories with my family. I never once doubted her capabilities. During the reception, my mom was actually looking for her to make sure she ate! My bridesmaids told me that they almost had to force her to sit and take a break. The day was a blur for me, but I do remember admiring how dedicated she was to getting beautiful shots. My husband and I loved the private time we had taking pictures together. It was probably one of the more memorable moments of the day for me, and I'm glad I shared it with someone that understood that. In the end, all the pictures turned out amazing! She also did a video montage for us that exceeded all my expectations. To any brides out there pulling out their hair looking for a photographer, please look no further. You'll be lucky to have Vanessa take care of you!

irection. We ended up having a lot of fun on our engagement shoot, and we're so happy with our wedding photos (and bonus video). Vee caught all the important moments, but also the little details. 100% recommended!

phy is absolutely top notch and I look forward to working with her again! Highly recommend :)

é. I had reached out to various other photographers however they were crazy super expensive and didn’t offer much for the price. Thankfully I came across Photography by Vee who was within my budget and had great photos in her portfolio. Working with her felt like a breeze. She communicated with me along the way and provided direction the day of the shoot. Happy to have found a Texan native in San Francisco to have taken our pictures.

ing, and extremely professional. We had a traditional Indian ceremony, which can be a bit overwhelming to cover, but she was flawless!
