EXPERIENCE ISN’T SOMETHING YOU CAPTURE

IT’S SOMETHING YOU FEEL

Finding someone who completes you is a feeling unlike any other. And like finding the love of your life, you deserve a photographer that best completes you.

A photographer who not only documents your experience but creates one for you.

A PERSONALIZED EXPERIENCE FROM BEGINNING TO END

Your wedding is an investment. Financially and emotionally.
And selecting the right photographer means you’re also investing in your overall experience.
With us, that experience is personalized from beginning to end. It starts with a custom proposal that fits your exact needs. And continues through to the end when we deliver a personally edited collection of photographs.
And everything in between.

A NATURAL APPROACH TO PHOTOGRAPHY

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

First, we observe. Then we direct.

Here are some of the ways we naturally, yet intentionally, direct you.

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 of 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 adjust to any situation. So whether we have to rearrange the timeline because something or someone is running behind…Or inclement weather permits us from taking photos outside… You can relax knowing that you get the photos you want and time to spend with your guests.

A large part of how I create photos that showcase your unique traits is by focusing on the way you interact together 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 your surroundings, together.

Together we overcome any obstacle. Because I’ve photographed approximately 1000 couples over the past 15-years, my team and I overcome every challenge that can take place on a wedding day. We always anticipate the expected and are ready for the unexpected.

Email, phone call, video call, text, direct message… However it is you like to communicate, 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. So I have no issues taking control when needed. But, I have also perfected the art of blending into the background when most appropriate.

To make sure 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 poses would flatter both of us, which lighting was just right, catered to our french bulldog, oh and she made us feel like we were supermodels (which we definitely 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

I started photographing famous musicians and DJs like (Tiesto and Benny Benassi) in the early 2000s. It taught me the importance of capturing a moment as it happened in the darkest environment, always being ready and prepared for the unexpected, and working in low-light situations.​​​​​​​ This is why I love a strong evening portrait as much as a daytime one today!

But what drove me to photograph weddings 18 years ago was losing my father to cancer. It taught me how short life is and how memories must be documented.

Now, I put my creative control and experience to good use – Hoping to capture those memories for you to create your history and preserve your legacy. ​​​​​​​

When I’m not working, you can find me with my husband and our rescue baby, Stella, traveling to new countries (48 and counting!) or eating at the best restaurants around the city with family and friends.
