Your Keweenaw Peninsula Photographer
Haaii! I’m Veronica Urbaniak (VU = “enjoy the view”).
I can’t wait to be your Keweenaw Peninsula photographer!
My specialty is helping people feel comfortable in front of the camera. This starts with getting to know you ahead of time and helping you feel prepared and confident for your session.
I get it! You have a million things going on already. As a full-service photographer, I assist with every step of the process for a stress-free experience.
I help you feel and look your best through candid and natural poses that donât feel forced or awkward. If you like real laughs and natural, fun poses that feel like the real you, then Iâm your photographer!
I’m the only Keweenaw Peninsula photographer focusing on serving my clients by providing a full-service experience from planning outfits to hanging frames on their walls!
I didn’t just “pick up a camera and discover I liked taking pictures.” As a second-generation photographer, I grew up working for my mother behind the scenes. This experience set me up for success, from helping my subjects relax, to how to use off-camera lighting, and the best poses to make you feel great about yourself!
Being a photographer is so much more than having a camera and clicking a button.
Is that all you needed to know?

I’m proud to share that I have over 40 5-star ratings on Google.
As a registered member of the Professional Photographers of America,
I invest in continuing education, from online courses
to in-person, hands-on workshops.

I’m never content to sit still, assuming I’ve learned everything.

My Other Half
My husband Rob works with me as my second photographer! I’m a little silly, he’s a little more sane. It’s a good match đ He comes to most family and senior sessions with me as well as weddings. We love working together as a team to create the best portrait experience for you.
In our free time, you can find us outdoors – spoiling our horse Kiira, trail riding and hiking the Keweenaw, camping, fishing, and kayaking on the canal. We love living in the Copper Country because there’s always somewhere new to explore!
Do you have a place you think we would love? Please let me know – we love recommendations!
We live in Hancock and serve clients from Copper Harbor to Ontonagon and Marquette (and sometimes beyond!) There’s too much beauty in the Upper Peninsula to limit to just one area. Rob and I love to explore, which means we’re always finding new potential locations when we’re out hiking.
How I Help You
Most often included in my Google reviews is that I help people feel comfortable in front of the camera. That is the highest compliment for me!
Whether I’m capturing your destination senior pictures, updating family portraits to send out on this year’s cards, or witnessing you start your life as a married couple – I am all in.
My fiancĂ© and I have never had pictures taken professionally together and we were nervous because we didnât know how to pose, but Veronica made it so easy and effortless!

I would love to be your Keweenaw Peninsula photographer, too!

Veronica and Rob were a great team and helped me plan my proposal to get the best shots possible. We love the pictures and would use them again 10/10 times. Thank you so much for helping us with such a special moment!

"Veronica and Rob were AMAZING to work with!! It was like hanging out with longtime friends from the first video meeting, to the engagement pictures and on our wedding day. They make such a great duo and make you feel like you are a pro at getting your picture taken! They were so easy to work with and were so accommodating to all of our ideas.
Having them design a wedding album after everything was over with, is SO AWESOME⊠and it's included, which means by the time you get it, it's FREE! Veronica was so cooperative with all my picky photo placements and ideas in the wedding album. We ended up adding pages to the album because we just couldn't choose from all the beautiful pictures she and Rob took! They truly made the wedding experience so much easier. Wish we could do it all over again so we could hang out!!"

Veronica and her husband, Rob, were so so amazing from the very beginning! They made us feel so comfortable and relaxed, it definitely didnât feel like it was the first time we met! They had such great communication with each other and with us! Theyâre so easy going and make the experience so relaxing and comforting. They picked the most beautiful, perfect locations and completely blew us away with the pictures! My fiancĂ© and I have never had pictures taken professionally together and we were nervous because we didnât know how to pose but Veronica made it so easy and effortless! If you or anyone you know is looking for a photographer in the Copper Harbor area, I highly HIGHLY recommend Enjoy the VU Photography! Very affordable, high quality, professional photos. Such an amazing experience that we will never forget! Thank you so so much Veronica and Rob!!

I used Enjoy the VU Photography to take my daughter's senior pictures. Veronica is an amazing person who quickly put my daughter at ease. She was able to capture my daughter's beautiful smile and personality in every picture. In addition, Veronica is the quintessential photographer, showing the utmost respect and professionalism in all she does.
In the Keweenaw, there are endless locations for photo opportunities, and Veronica was willing to meet us on top of Brockway Mountain and by Lake Superior for our photo session. This meant the world to us as the Keweenaw has a special place in our hearts. The process for ordering photos was simple and straight forward. Veronica was always available to answer my questions. The quality of the photos is absolutely amazing. I'm excited to display her work in my home. Thank you, Veronica for such a wonderful experience. You made this truly memorable for Natalya.

I cannot speak enough awe-inspiring words to convey how AMAZING Veronica and her husband were at capturing our wedding day. We did the elopement package, but they still made us feel like royalty. They are both very sweet, they know how to capture the love of the day, and I would recommend them for anyone getting married in the UP.

"I wish I could give more than 5 stars! Veronica went so much more above and beyond expectations as our small wedding ceremony photographer, and she offered so much great advice for planning some of the details that I would never have thought of! She and Rob were so much fun to work with, and they made our special day feel even more special. And the photos turned out amazing, everything I imagined and more! Highly, highly recommend to anyone looking for some great pictures with a super great photographer! âșïž"

"Veronica and Rob are far more than talented! They are personable, professional, and made sure all went as planned. They were an integral part of my son's surprise proposal. Veronica took the time to speak with my son to hear his vision of the day. And then she and Rob got to work with a plan. They send a video and some pictures so that he knew where to be for that time of day. They went above and beyond to ensure it was perfect. The results are amazing! Our family highly recommends them. Thank you for capturing the moment. We are forever grateful."

"We live downstate, but my husband graduated from Michigan Tech so we like to come up to Copper Country on vacation. We knew we wanted to get our annual family photos taken while on vacation. After some searching, I came across Veronica. During our consulting call, she figured out what exactly I was hoping to get out of our session.
As our vacation drew near, Veronica scouted spots to see where the fall colors were peaking as we really wanted fall foliage along Lake Superior for our session. We went with her recommendation, and it was the perfect spot. Stunning fall colors along the waterfront. Veronica put us at ease and got genuine smiles out of our preschooler (that's a hard thing to do!). We are so grateful to have these beautiful photos that captured memories of our 2022 trip that we will cherish forever."

On top of the stunning photos they captured, Veronica helped us plan the day out ahead of time with timelines and photo options which was such a huge stress relief, she referred vendors being it was a destination wedding in northern Michigan, and she found the perfect spot for our engagement session. We absolutely loved their style and especially loved their confident and calming demeanor."

Veronica went above and beyond when helping us plan our outfits, and was incredibly flexible when planning around our two crazy puppies. The whole experience was personalized to help us look and feel *our* best... to the point that it made you forget that you were in front of a camera, rather than just hanging out and having fun! **Buyer beware, Veronica comes equipped with dad jokes.**
Needless to say the results were high quality and we couldn't have asked for more. Thank you Rob and Veronica for everything!"
