Vanessa and Fred were amazing! We had very limited time, but they could've taken pictures for ages and what they were able to accomplish was stunning! Friendly, professional, and so so talented! Plus, when my wedding plans changed because of Co...

Vanessa and Fred are so talented and so funny! My husband and I are NOT photogenic people at all, so we were stressed at times not knowing when/how we should pose and we didn’t bring many ideas to the table. Luckily, Vanessa is so talented and...

had so many great ideas and Fred kept us laughing the whole time! Vanessa even helped recommend a lot of vendors and give us great advice since we’re new to the area. We’ve only gotten some of our sneak peaks so far from the wedding, but we loved them so much and can’t wait to see the rest! Thankfully also, she lets you see the gallery as she adds more and more photos over time. I’m used to having to wait for weeks and then get bombarded with them all at once, so it’s definitely a plus that we can see some of them sooner! I would definitely recommend Poise Photography to anyone in the area!

Vanessa and Fred did the pictures for my daughters wedding and I can't put into words just how beautiful they are! Covid 19 caused a few issues and we had to move venues with only about 3 weeks notice, but they took it all in stride and somehow...

Working with Vanessa was truly a delightful experience, not to mention she is our favorite form everyone we hired. Our photos are incredible! Vanessa & Fred are such an amazing team, they are professional, fun, and so much more than we expect...

ed! Vanessa is very organized and knowledgeable which helped us plan our wedding day even more. She helped us with making a timeline, other vendors, and guided us through preparations that we didn't know about. Our wedding day was very organized and calm. My family absolutely loved her and still rave how great she was. Prior to our wedding, we had several meetings and calls and she was even available late at night when I had random questions. She provides a sneak peak and our photos look truly breathtaking!!! I cannot wait until we get them all. Thank you so very much for being part of our day! We feel truly blessed that she was available on our wedding day and we highly recommend Poise Photography.

Hi All! We decided on having our Engagement photos done in Virginia Beach because my fiances family lives here. I had a hard time finding a photographer since I am not from this area and met my finance at school. I found Poise Photography on ...

Instagram and fell in love with their work. We were a bit nervous to take pictures as we normally do not take formal images. Vanessa made us feel so comfortable and we had such a blast! We are not sure yet if we are getting married in Virginia Beach, but if we do we will definitely hire her as our Photographer!!! If you are a bit shy like me, she will help you so much. I say hire her!

Where to begin... I met Vanessa at a local bridal shop when I was shopping for my dress and immediately felt so comfortable with her. We booked with Poise Photography last year and had our wedding in February. Even though the weather wasn't t...

he greatest our pictures came out so beautiful! Through the entire process from our Engagement pictures to our wedding day she helped me plan my day. We did hire a day coordinator, but Vanessa helped me so much with finding reliable people. (My hair team cancelled 2 months before my wedding). Planning a wedding was a bit stressful and being able to call her and get advice was so nice. I was able to call or text with any questions I had at any time and she always helped. We did end up changing a couple of things last minute and she had no problem changing some things last minute. Overall, our experience was fantastic! We have already recommended her to so many. She also gave us a military discount!

Konzelman Photography has made a very hard and very sad time for us even more difficult. We booked her originally for elopement pictures at the courthouse, we only needed a few shots so we found an affordable option. Our plans changed a little...

, we gave her over 5 month's notice. She was fine with shooting our wedding of about 30 people for the same amount of time and the same price. I realized I received the quality of service I was willing to pay for. Her communications were, in my opinion, short and curt and occasionally unresponsive and rude. We had to cancel our May 8th wedding due to the Covid-19 breakout and the Governor's "Stay at Home Order" through June 10th. I asked for the refund of the deposit we paid and she refused citing they are still doing small weddings. We are unable to have our wedding as our venue canceled and a very important family member of mine has cystic fibrosis and cannot leave her home. A wedding is the most important day of your life - it should be filled with love, joy and happiness. In order for us to have that, we will not be including her as our photographer.

This situation is very unfortunate, especially since I truly wanted to help Kayla out. Kayla came to me explaining that she only wanted to pictures taken at a small gazebo for an hour and that she didn't have alot of money. She told me that s...

he really only had money for an hour of my time. So, trying to help out, I gave her a rate of $150 to help her out and to take her wedding images for about an hour. Knowing very well that I normally would stay longer to ensure she had the best pictures. (My normal elopement packages are about $1000 ). Kayla paid a deposit of $75 and per our agreement. When she texted me about cancelling the intimate wedding she had planned, I tried to help her out and suggested a new date. This was at the end of the week and I had a busy weekend ahead. Her statement that I didn't respond to her was from me not responding back to her until that Monday. After reading the nasty messages she left me, I texted her that I would refund her the $75, only to find out that she left this review not only on this platform but everywhere. Being easy going, as I am and not normally having to hear such ugliness, I was a bit taken back. Especially, since I was trying to help her out so much. I have worked with so many wonderful couples, that this situation is a bit new to me. It is sad that one has to get so ugly over $75. I hope that she has a beautiful wedding one day and hope that over time, she learns how to be a nicer person.

had was selecting which photos to send to friends and family because they captured so many amazing photos. They are very responsive, whether it be though thumbtack, facebook, or even text. They are worth every penny, and honestly, likely more based upon their professionalism and quality of their work.
