Nathan and I feel so blessed and lucky we came across Vanessa and her team at XO and Fetti! Vanessa went above and beyond from the beginning of our wedding planning process to the end. We are very happy we booked her for both our engagement session and our wedding day. From the beginning, Vanessa was organized, professional, detail-oriented, and extremely responsive.
We are both amateurs and awkward when it comes to posing for photos! Vanessa guides you through each pose and the photos came out looking natural, romantic, and classy --- everything we wanted it to be! Vanessa asks you to fill out a short guide prior to the photo session so she gets all of the details perfectly. She also allows you to submit inspiration photos to your private client portal.
Our wedding was the typical Vietnamese wedding with over 250 guests and multiple days and events – tea ceremomy, church, location and multiple outfit changes, and very chaotic. Vanessa remained calm throughout the entire wedding and also made it fun for us. She hops on a detailed call with you prior to the wedding, makes the most meticulous wedding day timeline of photos. She captured every single photo we wanted with every single guest. The photos she captured were not just photos… she turned them into romantic art! Take a look for yourself!
Nathan and I are forever grateful for Vanessa and the beautiful photos from our wedding. Not only is she the BEST at what she does, she is also a very kind and compassionate person. She is an absolute treasure and artist!

My husband and I are the biggest fans of Vanessa!! She is actually the one vendor we contacted without waiting to get our planner’s recommendations because we fell in love in love with her photos (and of course, our vendor recommended her without even knowing we had already called her haha). And since both my husband and I are hobby photographers with our first hangouts being photoshoots, photography was a top priority. From the intro phone call, we knew she was our photographer. She made us feel so comfortable and she has such wonderful energy! But even so, we couldn’t imagine how beautiful our photos would come out. There’s one photo I really wanted but our wedding was on a harsh sunny day (100F) so capturing that photo was not on my mind, if anything, I worried about the harsh lighting for every photo. But yet she captured that magical moment and more!! Every family member told us how surprised they were, the photos came out so much better than they could have imagined too - Vanessa’s work is priceless. Our wedding is one special day and now we have it memorialized through her beautiful talented photography.
Vanessa was so wonderful to work with from start to finish! She is so sweet and made us both feel comfortable in front of the camera, so we could truly be ourselves. From our engagement photos to the wedding day, Vanessa was organized, responsive, and captured the most gorgeous photos and moments!! Her photos are beautiful, natural, romantic and timeless! Although our engagement session and wedding venue were both in the Bay Area, she had no problem traveling here from Southern CA to help us capture our engagement shoot and wedding day! On the wedding day, she was organized and truly produced the most incredible photos/memories of the whole day. She took all the preplanned photos we asked for beforehand, but also let the day unfold organically and captured every beautiful moment of it! All of our friends and family are RAVING about how much the loved the photos she took. The complete wedding album she put together captured every moment throughout the day so well and we will cherish these memories and photos forever. My husband and I both truly loved working with Vanessa and would 100000% recommend her for any photo/event needs!
Choosing a photographer was no easy task. However, the biggest advice we received after getting engaged was to invest in a quality photographer, and we are so glad we did! Vanessa’s style was perfectly in line with my husband and I’s vision for our wedding day. I loved her sweet and romantic point of view, and the brilliant coloring of her photos! Looking back at our photos brings our wedding day back to life and that is a true gift for my husband and I. Vanessa also was a value to have while planning our wedding. She was responsive, organized, and provided lots of helpful guidance. This is imperative for any couple! I cannot recommend Vanessa more highly!
If you are still looking for a wedding photographer look no further! Vanessa is the wedding photographer you should go with for a romantic, timeless, elegant, emotional, and creative touch! I normally never write reviews for anyone, but Vanessa and her team definitely deserve one. The first time Vanessa and I spoke on the phone, I liked her immediately. She was so friendly, and I could feel how genuine and passionate she was about her work. I remember asking so many questions, and without hesitation Vanessa sent everything I asked for. She answered all my questions with so much kindness too and never made me feel bad about being so meticulous. Vanessa is such a good person, and you can tell she has the biggest heart.
For our engagement shoot, I remember seeing Vanessa come 30 minutes before our session to scout the beach for good photo spots. She is such a hard worker and takes her client’s time seriously. When we received our engagement pictures, we were shocked at how beautiful they turned out! That gave me the confidence that our wedding day pictures would be amazing too.
Throughout the process, Vanessa was very responsive. She was organized and easy to communicate with. On the wedding day, I was very nervous but when Vanessa arrived, I felt immediately at ease and comfortable. I felt like I was seeing a best friend!
We got married a few months ago and every time we look at our wedding photos we are completely blown away by how stunning they are! My husband has it playing as a screensaver on our TV and it always brings us so much joy when we see the pictures pop up. We have also received so many compliments from friends and family on how amazing and beautiful the photos were. I felt so lucky that we picked Vanessa as our wedding photographer. She was easily my favorite vendor. I would love Vanessa to capture all our future huge milestones!

Everything from start to finish, my time with Vanessa was easy and seamless. She really took the time to get to know us as a couple and all the details that went into the planning.
I hardly knew Vanessa and her assistant were at the wedding taking our photos, that’s how good she is.
On our honeymoon we received our wedding gallery was such a sweet surprise and the perfect occasion. I highly recommend booking Vanessa for any special event photos.

Vanessa and her team were absolute professionals and experts in their field. On our most stressful day of our lives, Vanessa and her team kept us at ease on track according to our itinerary. Pictures were absolutely beautiful and captured every aspect of our big day. From fun pictures with friends, memorable moments with family we have not seen for quite some time, Vanessa created moments we never could have imagined. Thanks to Vanessa and her team for all her hard work and dedication!
Hands down, Vanessa is the best wedding photographer! Please look no further and hire her now! When someone loves what they do, you can tell. Her incredible work is a direct reflection of the passion she has for wedding photography. I admire her for always learning, striving, and honing her craft. A colleague of mine hired Vanessa in 2017 and I've been a fan of her work since. I knew who would be my wedding photographer before I met my husband! Haha.
Vanessa is both personable and professional. She genuinely cares for her clients and goes above and beyond. I honestly think she should charge way more for her services. I did still research other photographers to compare pricing/ packages. A well-known photographer in San Diego has a similar style and charges a lot more than Vanessa. However, that vendor lacked warmth and kindness and left me feeling like just another source of income. That was not the case for Vanessa at all. She was enthusiastic and lovely from our very first contact.
Moreover, Vanessa is quick to respond to all communication and is extremely organized. She provides a lot of information and assists with all the details for preparation. I never once worried about the photography aspect of wedding planning. I was also able to ask her for tips/ advice outside the topic of photography.
During the engagement shoot and wedding day, she and Claudia (her associate photographer) provided guidance on posing/ prompts you on what to do. This was very important as my husband and I are not naturals. They remained calm and patient throughout the busy wedding day. She provided sneak peeks within days and the full gallery in a timely manner. I’ve had such a hard time going through and picking favorites because I love it all.
I am so grateful to have such beautiful photographs of the wedding day, family, friends, and of course, my husband!
Thank you to Vanessa and Claudia for capturing our happiest day!

Vanessa and Claudia are simply the best you will find. We had been working with Vanessa over a year from engagement photos, to planning for the wedding, and wedding day and we truly can’t say enough good things. She is so organized and genuinely cares about the outcome of your wedding and your photos. It is so clear how passionate she is about photography as an art AND as YOUR wedding memorabilia. On the wedding day, Vanessa and Claudia had the most perfect presence. You spend most of your time with your photographers on wedding day - so choose wisely! We were so happy we chose XO because they both were so kind, calm, and excited for us!! It was exactly what we needed on such a crazy but important day. And lastly, the photos speak for themselves.. but Vanessa/Claudia take such gorgeous shots and their editing tops it all off. We have already received SO MANY compliments on how beautiful our sneak peek photos turned out.. If you’re debating hiring XO, the debate is over..seriously!! Just do it!! They are amazing! ☺️
I cannot say enough great things about Vanessa! Not only was she so kind, professional, and fun to work with, but the photos from our wedding are everything I have ever dreamed of. She captured our day perfectly and we are so thankful for the beautiful memories we get to look back on for the rest of our lives. We love XO and Fetti!
