Meet Vanessa

Founder / Creative Director

Storytelling has always been at the center of her work.

With a background in Fine Arts and Filmmaking, her approach is rooted in emotion, observation and intentional storytelling. Born in Saudi Arabia, raised in the Philippines — and half Indian and half Filipino, her perspective has been shaped by a life lived across cultures before moving to the United States at 21.

What began organically through film eventually led her into weddings — drawn to the emotion, intimacy, and humanity woven throughout each day. Her work has since evolved into documenting meaningful moments, inspiring spaces, and the quiet details that make people and places feel alive.

Her approach is calm, observant and intentional, creating space for people to feel comfortable enough to simply be themselves. The result is work that feels cinematic, emotionally grounded, and deeply human.

  • "Vanessa and her team are talented artists with an eye for detail that enables them to truly capture elements of our unique love story. Vanessa, Marlo, and Roman instantly felt like family and were so easy to work with. Thanks to The Raconteur Collective we have a beautiful visual keepsake to transport us back to our special day."
