About Vanessa Montano Photography

Vanessa Montano Photography

Owner/Photographer

Hi there. I am a wedding + lifestyle photographer serving the East Bay, San Francisco, Napa, Sonoma and Sacramento areas. My focus is on outdoor weddings: gardens, historic homes, wineries, parks, private estates, forests, national parks, and country clubs. I adore details and love when couples pour their hearts and souls into making their wedding a special day they will remember forever.

To me, photography is the ability to be transported back to a moment. A moment shared between couples, friends, family, or even a moment in solidarity. This is why I love my job! I would LOVE the opportunity to work with you and create not just some amazing images, but rather pieces of art that last a lifetime.

    I got married in Napa Valley and didn't know who to hire for my professional pictures. The venue recommended a few names and after contacting Vanessa I knew that is who I wanted to work with. She was very caring and patient. She was on time and didn't disrupt the moment when I was getting ready, instead she made it special. She gave us poses to do and talked to the venue to make sure we could go to a little bridge I wanted to take pictures at. I highly recommend her!!

    Wow, just wow! Our experience with Vanessa Montano Photography was nothing short of phenomenal. From the initial consultation to receiving our breathtaking photos, every step was filled with professionalism, creativity, and a touch of magic. They effortlessly blended into our day, becoming an integral part of capturing not just images but emotions. Their talent isn’t just in snapping beautiful pictures; they have an innate ability to capture the essence of a moment, freezing laughter, tears, and all the little details we never want to forget. They made us feel comfortable and at ease throughout the entire process, ensuring our personalities shone through each frame. The final photos exceeded our wildest expectations. Each image tells a story, evoking the same emotions we felt on our special day. The quality, composition, and attention to detail are unparalleled. Thank you, Vanessa and team, for immortalizing the most incredible day of our lives. You’re not just a photographer; you’re an artist who beautifully crafts love stories through the lens. We’ll cherish these memories forever and highly recommend you to anyone seeking a photographer who turns moments into masterpieces!

    Vanessa photographed our outdoor wedding. Although lighting es a challenge, Vanessa's great eye made all of the pictures perfect. She was professional, nice and a good communicator.
