Luskin OIC: Toys and Joys — The Raconteur Collective

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’ve always been passionate about capturing real love stories—because honestly, what’s better than celebrating love? And what better way to tell your story than by preserving those big moments, surrounded by your favorite people, on one of the best days of your life?

Creativity has been a part of me for as long as I can remember. In school, you’d find me drawing, doodling, crafting little paper boxes (for pencil shavings, of all things), or taking endless photos and videos—long before social media was even a thing. I went on to earn a Bachelor’s degree in Fine Arts, followed by an Associate’s degree in Filmmaking, and I’ve been inseparable from cameras ever since.

Wedding days can be a whirlwind, but my easygoing nature helps create a sense of calm amidst the chaos. That said, when it’s time to celebrate, I’m always ready to bring the energy! Not everyone gets to say they truly love their job, but I can—with my whole heart.
