DOM + STEPH

Nice to meet you

My name is Vanessa.

Owner and founder of The Raconteur Collective. You’ve come to the right place if you’re looking for storytelling magic.

I love love, don’t you? Which is why I’ve always been passionate about filming real love stories. And what better way to tell your story than through capturing those big moments, with your favorite people, on the best day of your life!

I grew up learning all kinds of art. In school, you would catch me drawing, doodling, making little boxes out of paper for pencil shavings or taking tons of photos and videos (when posting on social wasn’t even a thing yet.) I graduated from a bachelor’s degree in Fine Arts followed by an associates degree in filmmaking so I’ve been inseparable with cameras since!

Wedding days can be hectic so my very chill demeanor is key to giving ya’ll sense of peace and calmness. But, I’m also not afraid to party it out when the time calls for it! Not a lot of people can say that they love their job but I LOVE MINE!
