Vanessa Joy Photography

Hello everyone. My fiance is from Freehold and Vanessa Joy Photography is right there on main st. I found many positive reviews on other websites and was wondering if anyone had experience with her? Also does someone know of the estimated price range for her work. I didn't see anything regarding her price packages. It says that she has won awards which usually comes with a nice price tag. Wink I'll also be looking into Jason Rhee but I know he's extremely popular on this site and may not have the availability on my date. Thank you!

    She does amazing work and I looked into her. I know someone who used her and loved her, but she was out of our price range. Her husband also does great videography. I think our quote was in the $5-6k range before an album

    Wow. Yeah that will definitely put us out of our price range. I'm at like 3000 max price but would go to $3500 if its really worth it but even that may be pushing it. Her work does look amazing though. Any other suggestions would be great.

    I am using her for my October 2011 wedding. She has different packages in different prices. For 5,700 we are getting 2 photographers for up to 10 hours, a wedding album, a proof book, thank you cards (however many we need), $250 credit towards anything ( we are going to put it towards parents albums) and also she has a digital fame that she uploads pictures throughout the day and puts them on display at the wedding.

    Although she hasnt taken pictures for my wedding yet I can say her pictures at her studio are AMAZING! and Her personality is AMAZING. She has so much energy and passion towards photography.

    I seriously can not say enough GREAT things about her. I have already told all my friends who are engaged or almost engage about her in hopes they use her to.

    My fiance who was afraid of getting a cheesy photographer was very happy we found her. We are going to book John Acara in Red Bank but after meeting Vanessa decided she was a better fit for our wedding.

    Wow.

    You can loot at Robert Wayne Photography.  He's certainly in your price range.  He's in northwestern NJ and travels pretty far, but I don't know if Freehold is too far south or not.

    I'll check out Robert Wayne Photography. My venue is il Villaggio in Carlstadt, NJ (North Jersey) so it wouldn't be too far from him. Thank you for the recommendation.

    I am using ESP Photography in Hasbrouck Heights, not too far from your venue......they have some packages in your price range. I was just a MOH in a wedding who used them - their pics came out great, as did my engagment shoot.

    We are using Chris Mastalia and have been very happy so far- our e-pics came out great. He has packages starting at $3k- what I love is hes their for the whole day regardless of package and gives you all the rights to the pics, so you can make your own album if you want  www.photocm.com
