Testimonials

“We did a family photo shoot with VNC Photography and we were very pleased with the results (I had several relatives come in from out-of-town and wanted to do something special while we were all together). Lots of great pictures including some great “candid” shots that were taken in between the formal poses. Van and her husband were friendly and did a great job of amusing/engaging the kids to get some wonderful smiles from them. It was a fun outing in Piedmont Park and everyone loved the results!” — Lenny S. (Event date: 4/9/2017)

“Vandreena is undoubtedly a great person! Thinking back on our wedding day this past Friday, Vandreena went over and beyond when she arrived! We were running late for the ceremony, but she made sure my dress was perfect before walking out. Joel was also awesome. The 2 together make the perfect team for their business! I would definitely recommend VNC Photography to everyone I know!! Vandreena thank you for everything!!” — Sabrina J. (Event date: 8/28/2015)

“Vandreena was absolutely phenomenal! From her initial correspondence leading up to the event, to her involvement on our wedding day and of course the finished product were absolutely top-notch. I have never seen someone successfully wear so many different hats at a wedding. If I didn’t know better I’d say she has a professional event planning background as well! She was always making sure everyone was involved in the shots & basically just assisting wherever she could. Now to the REALLY good part 🙂 We gave her free rein to choose what footage went in our wedding video along with the flow & music. It was spot on! Her creativity and energy is really reflected in her finished product. I give her FIVE STARS across the board and highly recommend connecting with her for your next event.” — Jason F.

“Awesome company! More than service they are the life of the party. Very professional, on time, funny and provide amazing products for the price. I love them both and will book them for every future event I have.” — Niki N. (Event date: 5/3/2014)

“Very entertaining and had a great time with Vandreena, if no one else has fun, Vandreena will. She can bring a party to funeral, all while getting her task done 150% better than expected. I have already referred her to 3 people in the last 6 months. Great work is hard to find, so I’m glad we stopped with VNC.” — Lavar V. (Event date: 5/26/2013)

“We’d been to plenty of bridal shows and looked at countless photographers before finally settling on VNC Photography. Best. Idea. Ever. My sister was the one who suggested using Vandreena, who we’ve known for quite a while. One of the main things we were looking for was a photographer that was going to be personable and fun so the pictures they take would reflect, not only the beauty of the event, but the candid moments as well. We lucked out. We ended up with TWO great photographers. Vandreena and Joel are the dream team of photography! They take the most amazing photos! They even got in the middle of the action on the dance floor! Everyone enjoyed having them be a part of the wedding and reception. We are so pleased with the way our photos turned out and our families loved the photo books that were made for them. They definitely went above and beyond what one would expect of wedding photographers and they made the entire process so easy. We will definitely be using them for more occasions!” — Leah N.

“I had been acquainted with Vandreena and her boyfriend/business partner Joel for a few years before our wedding. They offered to do an engagement photo session with us as part of the wedding photography package, which we took them up on. My fiance and I also wanted to make a video to tell the story of our relationship, to show at the wedding, so Vandreena and Joel interviewed us and filmed it. I enjoyed working with Vandreena and Joel. They’re fun people, and take good photos. Here are a couple of stand-out moments that I really appreciated them for.

1. On the way to our engagement photo session, my fiance and I managed to get in a fight. (I think it was about the correct way to park the car.) So we arrived at the coffee shop (our meeting place) in bad tempers. Vandreena and Joel took it in stride, kept their moods upbeat, and encouraged us to share a pastry. After a little while we felt better and were able to have a good photography session.

2. When I’ve attended weddings, it bugs me to wait a long time between the ceremony and reception for the wedding party to have a huge photography session. I didn’t want to make our guests mill around forever, nor did I want to do all the photos beforehand (and ruin the “dramatic reveal”.) I told Vandreena this, and she said if we just wanted to do basic family/wedding party groupings, she could have it done in 15 minutes. My fiance and I were fine with that; we’re not big on photos anyway. I’m not sure if we spent only 15 minutes on pictures, since I wasn’t wearing a watch, but it felt about that long. We got all the standard groups photographed, with a couple of fun wedding party pictures, and then we got on with the reception.

If you want a photographer who cares about your preferences and who seems more like a friend than a vendor, give Vandreena a call!” — Danae M. (Event date: 9/17/2011)

“VNC photography was outstanding! They went above and beyond the entire day of our wedding. By the end of the day people were nominating Vandreena as my maid of honor lol! Fantastic job guys, I will absolutely hire them for all photography needs in the future :)” –Leslie S. (Event date: 7/5/2015)

==============================================================================

“I don’t know how I would’ve survived my wedding without Vandreena!!! She delivered my husbands surprise gift and sewed my moms dress close, that’s all while taking fabulous pictures and videos!! She is awesome and you should hire her if you want affordable quality and genuine support!! She did a photo session with just my dress and accessories, she did everything I’d never think of!!!” –Quinae J. (Event date: 08/16/2014)

==============================================================================

“Vandreena did a boudoir photo session with me. She was ever professional and made me feel comfortable getting a little sexy for my husband to be. I felt safe and free to express myself with the confidence that my shoot would remain private. For ladies like me who are a little reserved but want to step out of the box for your husband, Vandreena is a perfect match for your boudoir shoot! She was flexible with my timing and even had wine to help me loosen up a bit. She sent me great ideas beforehand and allowed me to do as many outfit changes and poses as I liked!” –(Event date: 8/4/2014)

“Ms Cotton gave me more than I could have ever hoped for. I am a relatively hard critic, but when it came to the services that VNC Photography delivered I was not only impressed, but elated. She was able to promptly capture meaningful shots in a timely manner. She guided me as far as location because I had no clue where to begin. And the quality of my photos were amazing. I not only will and have recommend her, but I will never use another photographer to capture my special moments. The best of the best.” — Kelli P. (Event date: 7/8/2014)

==============================================================================

“Vandreena and Joel were so exciting and fun to work with. We had so much fun, and we were truly blessed. They literally spent the whole evening with us. We shot at three different locations, my favorite being the Jackson Street Bridge at sunset!! I am so looking forward to having VNC Photograph my wedding. Vandreena is a super talented professional and I would highly recommend her services.” — Queen J. (Event date: 7/2/2014)

“Vandreena & I have known each other personally since college, but have worked professionally on numerous occasions. This is the 2nd photo shoot we have worked on together, and it was a great experience. As an independent musician, my budget is limited & Vandreena worked with me to make sure that we had a price that suited my budget. Joel & herself were very hands on & professional, offering a variety of ideas to make my vision for what I wanted come together. I will definitely work with her & Joel in the future not just for photo shoots, but for my next music video as well.” — Jorge M. Gonzalez Jr. aka JDiez (Event date: 11/21/2013)

“Quality of Service: We really appreciated the details captured in their photographs, many of which we didn’t spot ourselves on the day. Responsiveness: Consistently fast responses at every stage of the process, from choosing a photographer to arranging times and dates.

Professionalism: They were fun to be around, yet blended into the background when they needed to. Value: They provided more than they promised, in terms of both photos and coverage.

Flexibility: We didn’t stretch their flexibility much, but they were very open to negotiation over Creative Commons licensing, which other vendors were more hesitant about.

Thank you (and Joel!) for being our photographers and all you did to make the process easy, relaxing, and fun. It was great to see the DVD this morning, and we look forward to perusing the other three (!) disks of goodies. Also thank you for taking photos on the Sunday in the park, and at the rehearsal dinner… you gave us so much more than we asked for. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thank you for putting us at ease. Also, thank you Joel for going to get Rachel’s jewelry at a key moment.” –Martin H. (Event date: 5/7/2011)

“VNC Photography photographed my June engagement session and my July rehearsal dinner, wedding and reception. They provided the best value for my money. The photographers were prompt and flexible. They were full of energy and did not miss a special moment. I have since then recommended VNC for photographic events at my job and we will use them for our first holiday pictures. The photos were beautiful and the turn-around was quick.” –Danielle R. (Event date: 7/2/2011)

==============================================================================

“VNC Photography is one of the best photography companies I have worked with before. It was an honor to have this company do my wedding, they was on point with everything and went the extra mile for my husband and I to have great photos for our memories. The quality of the photos were marvelous, it blown us away when we saw our photos that they hand delivered to our house. I would recommend everybody to make sure they book VNC Photography because you will not be disappointed with the quality of service,value, flexibility,professionalism, and responsiveness that they present very well to their clients. VNC Photography did my engagement,wedding, and recently my maternity photos! My husband and I are always so excited to see our photos VNC Photography has captured!” –Julie P. (Event date: 7/22/2011)

==============================================================================

“VNC Photography is awesome! We felt like celebrities. They captured EVERY moment. Our family and friends raved about them as well. When you’re getting married and there is so much going on. You can feel like your missing out on some moments but when we looked back on our photos. We felt like we didn’t miss a thing. We even saw photos of family and friends we didn’t get to see or spend a lot time with during the reception. VNC Photography was so great we also used them for our engagement, bridal luncheon, groomsmen breakfast and rehearsal dinner. Thank you so much VNCP!” –Shondrel G. (Event date: 8/7/2011)

“Vandreena is absolutely amazing! She did such a wonderful job with our engagement shoot and wedding that everyone was giving her compliments!

You can tell that she really LOVES what she does!” –Tamecca E. (Event date: 8/27/2011)
