Nessa

My name is Nessa and I’m your favorite photographer’s favorite photographer. I take notice of the small details. I find the small key moments that transport you back to your big day from a single snapshot. In my work, I love how candid shots show off a more organic, freeing moment between partners.

My artistic style takes inspiration from nature and film photography. I crave being outside and photographing the world around me. As an avid outdoors lover, I strive to translate nature’s beauty to compliment you on your special day. Film photography gives off a dreamy, vintage aura that makes you look and feel nostalgic. My goal is to give you nostalgia every time you look back on your wedding day photos .  

My educational background started in graphic design where I learned the history of photography, composition skills, and how to utilize post production programs like Photoshop and Lightroom. They even gave me a degree in it! Graphic design and photography tended to always overlap for me. It wasn’t until I shifted my focus solely on photography that my creative career took off! I am extremely grateful that I get to do what I’m passionate about for a living everyday.

When I’m not behind the camera I love doing activities such as camping, hiking, kayaking, biking, and roller skating. I live for a good road trip and it’s the perfect excuse I use to bring my camera along as my passenger. You never know what adventure you’ll capture next.
