Chace
Chase learned the art of photography way back when he was a teenager, and joined the team in 2016. Since then he has flourished with the Vanessa Guzzo Photography brand. Creating stunning NYC family portraits in our signature style he is always supportive and excited to meet new people. Chase says “my mission is to help you hold on to those moments that you wish could last forever and to help reflect back the love, joy and laughter as if they were happening all over again”.
“My family absolutely loved working with Chace. He was calming, concise, and was incredible with my two babies (3 years and 6 months old) during our beach photo shoot. He knew us all by name and we felt like we’d known him for years. The photos are breathtaking! We will be requesting him for our annual family photos every time moving forward.”

GIVING BACK
“This is my second experience with Vanessa and I could not be happier! I worked with her photographer, Luke, for my daughter’s Communion photos. Luke was so kind, professional and creative. Vanessa did an amazing job editing her photos. Thank you so much Luke and Vanessa, we are in love with our photos!”
