Capturing Moments that Make Life Meaningful

About Vanessa Oppedal Photography

Hey, Nearlyweds!

I’m Vanessa Oppedal, and I have the honor of capturing the moments that make life meaningful. My style is timeless with a creative touch, focused on real emotion and the little details that make your wedding day uniquely yours. I want you to look back at your photos and feel like you are right there again, reliving the laughter, the quiet glances, and the happy tears.

Before your wedding day, I take the time to truly get to know you. Your story, your vision, and how you want your day to feel all matter to me. I believe photography is about more than beautiful images. It is about creating an experience that feels genuine, comfortable, and true to who you are as a couple.

On the wedding day itself, my approach is calm and supportive. I will guide you when needed and step back when moments naturally unfold. I focus on documenting your day as it happens, so your gallery feels personal, emotional, and timeless.

Whether you are planning an intimate celebration or a full wedding day surrounded by everyone you love, I would be honored to tell your story in a way that feels honest and unforgettable.

Services Offered

I offer a wedding photography experience that is personal, flexible, and thoughtfully designed around your plans. Every couple is different, and I believe your photography should reflect that.

My services include:

  • Partial and full wedding day coverage, from getting ready through the final moments of the night

  • Engagement sessions customized to your style and personality

  • Elopement and intimate wedding coverage focused on meaningful, authentic moments

  • Film photography options and disposable cameras for guests to capture candid memories

  • Coverage for pre wedding events such as engagement parties, bridal showers, and rehearsal dinners

After your wedding, the experience continues. I offer an optional gallery reveal celebration where you can relive your day and explore heirloom albums, wall art, and keepsakes designed to last for generations.

Every collection includes professionally edited, high resolution images delivered through an online client portal. This portal allows you to easily access contracts, invoices, galleries, and design proofs all in one place. I also provide ongoing email and call support throughout the planning process, offering guidance and reassurance every step of the way.

Frequently Asked Questions

How would you define your "style"?

My style is timeless and emotional with a creative touch, blending natural candids with gentle guidance so your photos feel real and effortless.

What does the process of working with your company look like?

It starts with a consultation where we get to know each other and talk through your vision to make sure we’re a great fit. After booking, I guide you through planning meetings, engagement session prep, and wedding day details so everything feels easy.

What is included in your most popular packages?

My most popular collections include 8 to 10 hours of wedding day coverage, an engagement session, and a physical wedding album that highlights your day.

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 focus on building real connections with my couples and creating a wedding photography experience that feels uniquely yours. From engagement sessions to your wedding day, I tailor my approach to capture your story authentically.

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

I work at a film lab, so I bring my love of analog photography to your wedding, including film options and disposable cameras for guests to capture candid, nostalgic moments.

How did you get started as a wedding pro?

I’ve always been drawn to love stories, and photography became my creative outlet in high school. Weddings combine storytelling and emotion, and I knew that capturing these moments would be my dream job.

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

Let others help you. Delegate tasks, share your vision, and trust vendors—you don’t have to do it all alone.

What's your favorite wedding tradition and why?

I love the quiet simplicity of signing the marriage license. It’s a small, intimate moment to connect and take in the gravity of your day before the whirlwind begins.

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

I connect most with couples who value being present and focus on the meaning of the day over perfection. Their photos become heirlooms, capturing love, kindness, and joy that last generations.

What are some of the best compliments you've received from your clients?

Couples often tell me that working with me felt natural and stress-free, and that their photos captured the true emotion of their day. I’m so grateful when they say the images bring back all the laughter, love, and meaningful moments exactly as they remember them.
