About Vanessa Montano Photography

Vanessa Montano Photography

Owner/Photographer

Follow us on instagram *vanessamontanophotography I’m Vanessa—born and raised in the Bay Area, now soaking up the California sun with a camera in hand. When I’m not out photographing everything that catches my eye, you’ll probably find me in the kitchen trying out new recipes, sipping a dirty martini with friends, blasting country music on a drive, or enjoying time with my family. I got my first film camera at the age of 8, and it was love at first click. Telling your story through photos isn’t just a job for me—it’s something I genuinely love. I’ve been lucky to witness and capture it all.

My photography style is all about natural lighting, authentic candid moments, and editorial-inspired shots that make your wedding album feel like a cinematic experience. Let’s create some timeless memories together. 😄

    From start to finish, working with Vanessa was an absolute dream. We knew our wedding photos would be important, but the moments she captured completely exceeded all of our expectations. From the very first consultation to the final delivery of our images, every step of the process was seamless, professional, and filled with care. On the day of our wedding, Vanessa was not only incredibly skilled but also a calming and positive presence. They blended into the day perfectly, capturing candid moments without ever being intrusive. The photos are a perfect mix of breathtaking portraits and those spontaneous, emotional snapshots that tell the story of the day. From the laugh-filled getting ready shots to the tender first look, every photo is a work of art. Thank you Vanessa for giving us the gift of such stunning memories — these photos are treasures we will cherish forever!

    I got married in Napa Valley and didn't know who to hire for my professional pictures. The venue recommended a few names and after contacting Vanessa I knew that is who I wanted to work with. She was very caring and patient. She was on time and didn't disrupt the moment when I was getting ready, instead she made it special. She gave us poses to do and talked to the venue to make sure we could go to a little bridge I wanted to take pictures at. I highly recommend her!!

    Wow, just wow! Our experience with Vanessa Montano Photography was nothing short of phenomenal. From the initial consultation to receiving our breathtaking photos, every step was filled with professionalism, creativity, and a touch of magic. They effortlessly blended into our day, becoming an integral part of capturing not just images but emotions. Their talent isn’t just in snapping beautiful pictures; they have an innate ability to capture the essence of a moment, freezing laughter, tears, and all the little details we never want to forget. They made us feel comfortable and at ease throughout the entire process, ensuring our personalities shone through each frame. The final photos exceeded our wildest expectations. Each image tells a story, evoking the same emotions we felt on our special day. The quality, composition, and attention to detail are unparalleled. Thank you, Vanessa and team, for immortalizing the most incredible day of our lives. You’re not just a photographer; you’re an artist who beautifully crafts love stories through the lens. We’ll cherish these memories forever and highly recommend you to anyone seeking a photographer who turns moments into masterpieces!
