About Vanessa Oppedal Photography

Hey, Nearlyweds!

I’m Vanessa Oppedal, and I have the honor of capturing the moments that will become the best memories. My style is timeless with a creative touch, focusing on all the emotions and little details that make your wedding day uniquely yours. I want you to look back on your photos and feel like you’re right there, reliving every laugh, every glance, and every happy tear.

Before your big day, I love taking the time to really get to know you—your story, your vision, and how you want to feel when it’s all happening. To me, photography is about so much more than pictures; it’s about creating an experience that feels as special and authentic as your love story.

I offer curated collections, but if you don’t see exactly what you’re looking for, don’t worry! We can create a custom package that fits your plans perfectly. As a unique touch, I also offer film photography and provide disposable cameras for your guests. It’s such a sweet way to capture candid moments and add a little nostalgia to your day.

Whether you’re dreaming of classic portraits, heartfelt candids, or a mix of both, I’d be honored to help bring your vision to life. Let’s create something truly unforgettable together—I can’t wait to hear your story.

Services Offered

Your wedding photography experience begins with a personalized approach, where I take the time to get to know you and your partner. This ensures your photos reflect your unique story and relationship. Engagement sessions are customized to suit your style and personality, offering a meaningful way to celebrate your love before the big day.

On your wedding day, I offer partial to full coverage, documenting everything from the excitement of getting ready to the heartfelt moments of your last dance. For couples choosing a more private celebration, I also provide packages for elopements and intimate weddings, focusing on the authentic, meaningful moments.

If you’re looking to add a nostalgic touch, I can provide film photography and disposable cameras for your guests, creating candid, playful memories to complement the professional photos. After the wedding, the celebration doesn’t end—I offer an optional gallery reveal celebration where you can relive the magic of your day while exploring heirloom-quality albums, wall art, and keepsakes.

You can also enhance your package with coverage of pre-wedding events like engagement parties, bridal showers, and rehearsal dinners, ensuring all the moments leading up to your big day are beautifully documented.

Every package includes customizable options, professionally edited images, and access to an online client portal. This portal provides an organized space where you can view and manage contracts, invoices, design proofs, and galleries all in one place. Additionally, I offer ongoing email and call support with practical advice to help you plan a seamless photography wedding experience.

Frequently Asked Questions

What current trends have you seen at weddings?

I have noticed a trend towards nostalgia! People are gravitating to film, super 8 videos, outfits with a vintage touch, and retro decor (disco ball anybody?). Personally, I love it!

A Little About Us

What makes you or your business stand out and why should a couple hire you?

I pride myself on building real, meaningful connections with my couples. I customize engagement sessions to reflect your unique relationship, weaving your story into your wedding day to create a cohesive narrative. Your engagement session is like a mini date, filled with moments that feel authentically “you.” On your wedding day, my approach is tailored to your preferences—whether you want me to blend into the background with a documentary style or offer guidance with calm, confident direction. Afterward, we can celebrate with a gallery reveal party, complete with champagne and laughter, as we relive the day and design your wedding album together.

What's a fun or unusual fact about you or your company?

I work at a film lab, so I get to bring my love for analog photography into your wedding day. I offer unique film options, like disposable cameras for your guests, which I personally develop and deliver. It’s a nostalgic way to capture the joy and spontaneity of your celebration!

How did you get started as a wedding pro?

I’ve always been drawn to love stories—the kind that make you laugh, cry, and feel deeply connected. Photography became my creative outlet in high school, and it turned into a passion when I realized how powerful it is to freeze a moment in time. While finishing college, I realized that photographing weddings was my dream job, so I poured my heart into learning everything I could. Weddings are where love and storytelling collide, and I can’t imagine doing anything else.

Share a piece of advice to reduce stress in the wedding planning process.

As someone who DIYed a lot of aspects of my wedding, I understand how stressful wedding planning can be. My advice to you would be let others help you. Your loved ones want to be a part of this joyful process. Share your vision and delegate tasks. Find vendors you trust, and let them do their job. You don’t have to carry the burden yourself.

What's your favorite wedding tradition and why?

I love the quiet simplicity of signing the marriage license. It’s often an overlooked moment, but it’s the one that makes it official. I encourage couples to carve out time for this and use it as an intimate moment to breathe, connect, and take in the gravity of what they’ve just done—before the whirlwind of the day sweeps them away.

Tell us more about the couples you usually get the pleasure of working with.

The couples I connect with most are the ones who value being present. They focus on the meaning of the day and the relationships around them rather than the perfection of every detail. These are the people who know their wedding photos are more than just pictures—they’re heirlooms for generations to come, capturing the kindness, love, and joy that brought them together.
