A NATURAL APPROACH TO PHOTOGRAPHY

Like a documentary-style director, we focus on things’ natural, candid flow.

First, we observe. Then we direct.

Here are some ways we capture those in-between moments

Receive beautiful images regardless of the quality of the light. From moments in the daylight to those on the dance floor, I’m an expert at photographing them all. And because I have connections with the best in the city, I provide vendor recommendations who will best bring your vision to life.

My team and I adapt to any environment. Whether we have to rearrange the timeline from someone running behind…Or inclement weather permits us from taking photos outside… You can relax knowing you get the photos you want and time to spend with your guests equally without taking you away from the party.

A large part of how we create photos that showcase your unique traits is by focusing on how you interact and the places that speak to you. I infuse your ideas with my 30+ years of knowledge and love of the city to create photos that frame your personality and surroundings together.

Together, we overcome any obstacle. Because I’ve photographed approximately 1000 couples over the past 19 years, my team and I are experts at navigating anything that can take place on a wedding day. We always anticipate the unexpected and are ready for the unexpected.

Email, phone call, video call, text, direct message… However, if you like communicating, you’ll do so directly with me. You’ll receive thoughtful, honest, and quick communication. As well as clear direction, both before and during your wedding day, to make you feel at ease.

Know what to expect at all times with my guidance and direction. I’m a natural leader. I have also perfected the art of blending in when needed.

To ensure we genuinely connect, you and I will take time to get to know one another. I ask you all of the right questions. And, instead of immediately diving into photos, we talk, let loose and get comfortable beforehand.

“During our engagement shoot, we had no idea what we were doing, and what we soon came to learn about Susan is that the second she is behind the camera – she is a director! She knew exactly which would flatter both of us, which lighting was just right, and catered to our French bulldog, and she made us feel like we were supermodels (which we are not!) We needed someone to tell us what we should be doing, and Susan picked up on that without us having to say a word!” – Hannah

Susan | Photography

My photographic journey began in the early 2000s, capturing the energy of renowned musicians and DJs like Tiësto. Navigating the dynamic, low-light world of live music honed my skills in spontaneous expression, adaptability, and technical mastery in challenging lighting conditions. This early experience cultivated a love for portraits that transcend the time of day, allowing me to find equal intrigue in both the vibrant hues of dawn and the nuanced shadows of dusk. However, a transformative personal shift propelled me in a new direction eighteen years ago.

Beyond my professional pursuits, my time is dedicated to enriching experiences with my loved ones. Traveling with my husband and our rescue dog, Stella, allows us to discover new cultures and broaden our perspectives. (We’ve been fortunate to explore 48 countries and counting!) Closer to home, I cherish savoring culinary delights at the city’s finest restaurants with friends and family.
