My husband and I hired Vanessa as our photographer, and from the first meeting I knew she was the…read moreone for us. First off, I absolutely adore her! She is very professional, laid back, and her photojournalistic style was exactly what we wanted for our big day! As opposed to all the cheesy, stiff, posed pictures, Vanessa captured the story of our day in such a beautiful and honest way! We got some good posed and group shots too but for the most part our photos are the natural progression of the most memorable day of our lives, and that's exactly how we wanted to remember it! Vanessa was not pushy or overly present, which exactly what we needed from our photographer! We are in love with the magical memories she captured for us and would absolutely recommend VCG Photography!

The exhibit was for students of both Akron & Kent State University to express their talents and some of the work I viewed was very interesting. Some of it was just so-so and a few pieces were very cool; as with any art show. The studio itself has some beautiful & I'm assuming original woodwork that I'd kill to have in my own home. I personally didn't mind all the stairs but this is definitely not a handicap accessible building :/ There is a cute little balcony and kitchen with refreshments...oh, how it would make a wonderful studio apartment!!! But if you're an artist looking to have a showing, it has great space, plenty of natural light and wall space! I was just bummed at the lack of sculpture - maybe next time.

She was extremely friendly on the phone as we went over logistics and she was very receptive to specific types of photos I wanted to make sure we did and did not include in our set. She gave great guidance to us for how we should pose and rolled with the punches when the session took a little longer than expected. She sent us a few previews already which look great and I cannot wait to see the rest!
