A NATURAL APPROACH TO PHOTOGRAPHY

Like a documentary-style director, we focus on the moments that matter.

First, we observe. Then we direct.

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 because of running behind… or inclement weather prevents 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 and help create your dream vision for your photographs

Together, we overcome any obstacle. Because I’ve photographed hundreds of couples, 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 it.

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 she 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 | Photographer

In the early 2000s, I found myself in dark nightclubs photographing musicians like Tiësto. It was the perfect training ground. I learned to work with difficult lighting and to move quickly to capture moments that happen once and never again. Two decades ago, I brought all of that into weddings. So when I say I can handle any lighting challenges, dawn, dusk, or candlelight, I mean it.

I believe the best stories happen when you’re with the people you love. That’s true on your wedding day, and it’s true in my life too.

Whether I’m traveling (51 countries and counting!), exploring a new place with my husband, or adventuring with our rescue dog, Basil, I’m always seeking genuine moments of connection. I crave unique experiences, the kind that can’t be replicated or staged.

And that’s exactly what I want for you.

No rules. No stiff posing. Just real moments, genuine love, and photos that actually feel like you.

If that resonates, we were meant to find each other.
