Meet Vanessa Sterling
My style is modern, timeless, and authentic, focusing on relaxed, natural moments that truly reflect who you are. Even if you’re camera-shy, I promise that by the end of our session, you’ll feel like a supermodel!
With over 15 years of experience behind the lens, I’ve had the honour of capturing countless love stories and unforgettable moments. You can consider me your second-best friend on your big day, making sure you look and feel amazing.
I’m based between the London and Jamaica, Destination Wedding Photographer, and will happily travel wherever my little feet can take me (I’m very tiny!)
My Story in Little Moments
Salsa Enthusiast
I absolutely love salsa dancing. I once went to classes four times a week because I got so hooked! I don’t get to do it as much these days, but you’ll definitely catch me spinning my way into a salsa club in Jamaica soon.
Petite & Proud
Standing at 4’10, I’ve mastered the art of hemming. From taking in the foot of my jeans to adjusting skirts. My trusty overlocker has been by my side for 17 years now (we’re basically in a committed relationship 😂).
Life Between London & Jamaica
I get the best of both worlds… Moody skies and city energy one month, blazing sunshine and bumpy taxi rides into town the next. Jamaica is where I feel most free… even if the sun sometimes feels like it’s trying to suffocate me! 😅
My Coconut Lip Balm Obsession
I love coconut-flavoured lip balms. The scent instantly takes me back to the countryside in Jamaica (obviously haha), where the air always smells sweet and tropical. It’s such a small, silly obsession.
Chicken Whisperer
One of my unexpected joys are feeding the chickens. They sprint towards me the second they spot grass in my hand. I feed them through the net like we’re in a soap opera. 😂 Don’t judge me… they’re part of the family now. 🤭
I love details!
I’m obsessed with detailed shots… The little things that often go unnoticed but tell such a big part of your story. I even bought a macro lens just so I can be extra on your wedding day, ha!
Life Beyond the Lens
Deep down, I am a true romantic who adores movies like ‘The Wedding Planner.’ I cherish long walks with my husband, enjoy extended drives, and have a passion for cooking Italian and Thai food. Here’s a fun fact: my husband, Chev, happens to be the best lighting assistant I’ve ever had. His incredible attention to detail prompts him to chip in whenever he senses I could use a hand.
My husband and I have celebrated six wonderful years of marriage, and he shares my love for romance. So, you’re in for a treat. Ha!
Other things I love doing include buying unnecessary fabric for sewing projects that never happen, practicing curly blow-dries on my hairdressing block, and cleaning my high heels I certainly can’t walk in 🤭.
I hope this brief insight gives you a better understanding of who I am. If you are keen to see me in action, head over to TikTok for all BTS footage.
