My name is Vanessa Chaperlin (Ness) and I am the photographer, owner and operator of Happiness Photography.

With 8 years experience photographing weddings and family portraiture, I have built my passion into a business and I continue to love capturing beautiful wedding days as they happen.

I work from home in Manly, but I enjoy traveling to lots of wonderful places to photograph weddings including the beautiful Hunter Valley.

I began Happiness Photography when I recognised a need for wedding photography that captured the whole day, the atmosphere of the day that my clients create, photos of all of the guests enjoying themselves, the carefully chosen details; beautiful images, long coverage and all at an affordable price. AND great friendly customers service from start to finish. I thought of what I would want if I was a bride planning my wedding.

From this perspective grew my Happiness Photography core values that I have based my business on. For more information click on the link happiness photography core values.

Since I came from a portrait photography background, it was a natural addition to add portrait photography to my Happiness world. I am so fortunate that manly of my wedding clients become portrait clients over the years as they begin to grow their families.

As a person, I am happy and so my business name came about quite easily - Happiness!
