Each one is consistent with the look and feel of what I have wanted and needed. As important, she has done this design work with a minimum of supervision and direction: I have given her the content and she creatively works to evolve exactly the flyer that I would have hoped for. In addition, I brought to her a design project involving creating a text and photo book for my daughter's graduation. Again, the results are professional, stunning in design, and reasonably priced. She is excellent and pleasure to work with personally.

I began chatting with Vanessa and immediately she began brainstorming and coming up with ideas. Within minutes she had drafted several variations of the idea. After I selected my preference she went right to work and encouraged my input through the multiple stages of the process, ensuring it was exactly what I wanted. At no point was I left in the dark, Vanessa sent me progress pictures along the way. It was nice to see how things were coming along. I was very surprised, not just by how quickly it was done, but the extra degree of care that went into the piece. Vanessa overdelivered in every way, and I can't wait to make one special little girl the happiest for her big day. She is absolutely going to love her gift. I highly recommend Vanessa, go see what she can do for you!

Coco is awesome!!!!!!!!!!…read more When we were researching wedding photographers, they all fell into three basic groups: Expensive+Awesome, Expensive+Boring, and Cheap+Boring. All except for Martinography! There's a whole new category of one: SuperAffordable+SuperAwesome. I am so sick of standard wedding photos. Boring colors, boring lines of people, and HOURS of boring standing around getting paired up with different combinations of the wedding party. Boo! I wanted tons of color, creative poses, and candid shots. Coco brought it! I knew she was special as soon as I saw the pix on her website, but it was fantastic to meet with her in person and look through her fun portfolio. A previous reviewer wrote here that "When Coco and I met, I instantly like her--I think its hard not to be magnetized to her passion and zest for life". That captures her in a nutshell. I'm going to make the same joke here that I made the whole time we were engaged: if I hadn't married Annie, I'm pretty sure she would have married Coco! Everyone at our wedding who met her told us what a delight she was, which is important. Photographers can be invisible or fun or both, but you don't want people telling you how off-putting or bossy or unpleasant your wedding photographer was to them. No worries here! She even took some videos with her camera, which I forgot was a possibility. Or maybe I just wasn't paying that much attention when we met because I had already made my decision. It was an incredible blessing though, because we had the most awesome wedding dance ever - we rickrolled the entire wedding, live - and the people who were going to record it had to leave early. And then it appeared on our wedding photo cds, along with video footage of our opening and closing and vows. (Clearly not as important as the DANCE....) Coco should be charging three times what she charges. We paid (ok, my mom paid as her gift) something around $400 for what was supposed to be three hours if I remember correctly, and Coco even stayed longer out of the goodness of her heart to capture our dance. But I didn't want to tell her she should raise her rates till after we paid! She has a day job in Silicon Valley and does the photography because she loves it so much. Why not just do what you love, is what I say! (I suppose she must love her day job too, but it's hard to imagine her in an office.) Magnificent! I am so glad that I found her through Yelp forums and so glad that we chose her.
