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!

Wow, I am SO happy with Aaron's work! I am a 58 year old professional engineer, and my company…read moreneeded a contemporary business headshot for promotional materials. I scheduled a session with VIZ. They asked for samples of other headshots that my company uses so that they could match my company's vision. Aaron was able to blend the vanilla components of a general business headshot with my personality to produce one of the best portraits I've ever had taken! Since I work in a hybrid work environment, I have to stare at my headshot on the computer constantly during online meetings, so my headshot is important to me. I LOVE my headshot!!! Thank you, thank you!

They just did our conference media day photos for winter sports and let me start off by saying that…read morethey had terrible attitudes with us the entire time. Apparently they were behind schedule and decided that the best course of action was to take it out on the athletes. Even though every single sports team had been sitting waiting on THEM, not the other way around. At least for my school anyways. Every single picture looks rushed (which they were), and there are a couple of them where athletes eyes are closed. We had been nothing but respectful of the photographers because we'd had good experiences with them in the past, and were excited, but were told that we didn't have to be in any pictures if we were so unhappy. And all because we wanted to switch up our poses, something every single other sport was doing. I get that they were trying to move as quickly as possible because there was a lack of time, but taking it out on the athletes was uncalled for and unprofessional.

She gave us some great pointers on how to pose, and used creative locations that I would've never thought about. She was very professional, yet made the event so fun!

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!

I cannot recommend her enough for your maternity and newborn/family photography needs. She takes her time and ensures she captures you in a way that you will feel PROUD of. Her makeup artist, Shelby is absolutely fabulous, and so kind too! With so many wardrobe options on-site to choose from, you are sure to find the perfect look without stress.

He is an excellent photographer and captured our wedding day exactly how we wanted. We love how our photos look so natural and dramatic and show the beauty of our day (none of that overly saturated or too much of a faded/bokeh look).

Thank you for everything!

I recently found myself exploring this place for the very first time last Saturday night & am glad…read moreI took my friends invite seriously. 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.
