• Behind the lens introduction! There’s a lot of new faces around here so I thought I’d take a second to introduce myself and share some fun-facts, because who doesn’t like fun-facts? 1. I’m not a morning person, but I wish I was more than anything! 2. I wrote and photographed a cookbook called ‘Clean Eating with a Dirty Mind’ in 2015 based off my food blog of the same name! @vanessabarajas 3. I have a day job that I actually love so so much and don’t know if I’d ever want to leave it to become a full-time photographer, which is probably the exact opposite of everyone in this industry. 4. My husband was the first boy I ever kissed in a game of spin the bottle when we were in high school. After that I didn’t see him for 15 years. In our wedding vows he wrote that he was my first kiss and he’ll be my last. I’m not crying, you’re crying! 5. I have two rescue cats named Jello and Fat Cat. They are my children and I wear my #catlady badge proudly! 6. I photographed my first wedding as a favor to my best friend, never thinking I’d actually end up loving it and becoming a wedding photographer! 7. If money were no object and I could go anywhere in the entire world, I’d go to Bora Bora and stay in one of those huts over the water! 8. My favorite cocktail is a Moscow Mule, but I’ll also never turn down a Ketel One Dirty Martini! 9. Sometimes when I get my nails done I will pick an ugly color because no one ever picks them and I don’t want their feelings to be hurt. 10. I hate scary movies! I end up just watching them through my fingers and everyone makes fun of me. If a preview for a scary movie comes on while I’m watching tv, I pretend to be looking at something on my phone. #hellovanessarose #vanessarosephoto #paris #lightandairyphotography #lightandairyphotographer #lightandairy #brightandairy #filminspired #sandiegoweddingphotographer #adventurouswedding #elopementphotography #dreamelopements #sandiegowedding #sandiegobride #lagunabeachphotographer #coronadobeach #weddinggoals #destinationweddingphotographers #orangecountyweddingphotographer #bridegoals #adventurebride #temeculaweddingphotographer #temeculawedding #destinationwedding

  • Oh hey there Thursday! I see Friday peeking around the corner and also a 4-day weekend! For those of you wondering, my first bike ride of 2020 yesterday was a huge success even though my tush is now very tender! I’m also drinking fresh cold pressed celery juice right now, thinking I’m basically a Tour-de-France champion. Ha! What fun plans do you have for the weekend?

  • Going on my first bike ride of 2020 today! I didn’t get on my bike much over the holidays (I was too busy drinking eggnog 😂🤷‍♀️🙈) so I’m super excited to get in the saddle today! Hoping the sun keeps shining and that I have a nice tailwind to push my out-of-shape sack of bones along!

  • Recently I photographed a wedding with @morgandovephotography at the San Diego Central Library (my new favorite venue!) and the bride went with a classic Audrey Hepburn vibe, complete with white satin gloves and a beautiful strand of pearls. Needless to say I was in wedding photographer heaven! Can’t wait to share more from this wedding with you! I’ll just be obsessing over here, don’t mind me. #hellovanessarose #vanessarosephoto #ilforddelta3200 #lightandairyphotography #lightandairyphotographer #lightandairy #brightandairy #filminspired #sandiegoweddingphotographer #adventurouswedding #elopementphotography #dreamelopements #sandiegowedding #sandiegobride #lagunabeachphotographer #coronadobeach #weddinggoals #destinationweddingphotographers #orangecountyweddingphotographer #bridegoals #adventurebride #temeculaweddingphotographer #temeculawedding #destinationwedding #adventurouslovestories #lagunabeachwedding #southerncaliforniabride #sandiegocentrallibrary #theknot #magnoliarouge

  • Monday slapped me in the face hard this morning. 😂 I could use a nap and it’s only 9:30am! I was up burning the midnight oil and now I wish I had some Monday morning oil to burn!
