Joanna Sue Photography

ried and recommended I take a look at Joanna's photography. I immediately fell in love with the natural effortless look of her photos. I reached out to her and we met the next day. As soon as I met her, I knew she'd be a great fit. In our first meeting, she had already come up with ideas of places we could shoot on our wedding day. I could tell she was as excited about taking these pictures as much as we were. I had a pretty strict budget and Joanna was so accommodating and helped make it all work. During our engagement session, I was extremely nervous as my then fiancé and I had never really taken any pictures together. Joanna helped to relax us both by joking, chatting and making the entire session so much fun. On our wedding day, Joanna and her second shooter went above and beyond to make sure that my husband and I got amazing and unique photos together. We have only seen a few of the photos so far, but the ones we've seen have been nothing short of incredible. I'd definitely recommend Joanna for your wedding day.

were nervous about looking awkward/stiff), starting with our engagement photos. They came out looking natural, fun and loving. 2) She has a great eye - she sees potential in spaces / shots to make the photos magazine-worthy. 3) I was especially impressed with how she captured light and detail in our photos. A lot of wedding photographers overly wash out their photos, but not Joanna. You can see every detail of lace on my wedding dress in my photos, which (a photographer friend told me) is the mark of a pro. 4) She is affordable and reliable. Really, she's the best! Highly, highly recommended.

a Christmas weekend wedding, so I needed a photographer willing to bend over backwards for our day. I chose Joanna because she is very easy and fun to work with and she has a gorgeous portfolio. She was punctual, professional, and delivered beautiful photos. We didn’t want our entire wedding day dictated by photography. Instead, we wanted to focus on the once in a lifetime experience. We told Joanna that and she was able to take our wedding portraits very quickly and then beautifully document the rest of the day, as events unfolded. Her photos are timeless and thoughtful, capturing everything from my aunt’s happy tears to the groomsmen goofing around. You’ll be glad you hired Joanna to capture your wedding day.

er easy to get along with and took time to make sure she captured what we imagined. I will cherish our photos forever. I cannot wait to use Joanna Sue photography in our next steps in life!

s and all of your professional photography needs!

he, along with her partner, not only took the time to heed our requests for portraits and our desire to actually be present for our wedding day activities, but also captured the little moments throughout the day/night that mean so much to us. Joanna was knowledgeable of wedding standards, consistently responsive, and fantastic at calming any anxieties that presented themselves. We could not recommend her more!

end her! We did engagements, bridal portraits, and of course the wedding! She is amazing to work with, easy and relaxed. If she is available for your wedding day then don’t hesitate!! Book her now!

g us look like authentic, happy, glowing versions of ourselves. Joanna completed a thorough review over the phone with us about a week before the wedding that helped the whole day go smoothly and allowed us to miss very little of our reception. That helped us get the photos we wanted without wasting time. I also loved having Joanna be a part of our day. She was lighthearted, funny, and blended perfectly with the group. I did not realize how big of an asset it would be to have a photographer that felt like a friend, but it makes the day way more enjoyable! We wholeheartedly recommend Joanna for anyone looking for high quality photos and a joy filled experience!

anyone!

y fun and professional, great rates, quick turn around. I highly recommend!

d. They made everyone in our party relaxed so that everyone was comfortable in front of the camera. They did a great job of being fast paced, while also making sure every moment was captured. We have great pictures that we are going to blow up and put up all around our house for the rest of our lives. 100% satisfied!

er gallery how much she took care to make use of it in every setting. Joanna was incredibly patient and knew how to guide the poses of the groom and I. I loved looking at the angles, the portraits, everything! Joanna is incredibly talented and creative. She made every shot count. I will be looking at my photos every year and years to come. The pictures were timeless and I will treasure them for a long time. A+ Professionalism A+ Creativity A+ Team Work A+ Cost

t and professional on the day of that she could probably double as a wedding coordinator! I really cant say enough nice things about her - she is a slam dunk in my book and you will be so happy to have her, on your big day, documenting one of the most important moments of your life.

ent session was a blast and our photos of both the engagement and wedding could not have been any better. She brings a definite talent and gift to her work, and her creativity is undeniable! Joanna’s second shooter, her husband Jesse, was also completely awesome according to my hubby! They had a great time hanging out and taking pictures on wedding day too! We are so excited to have met these two, I couldn’t have asked for any better of an experience. We will def be keeping her as a family photographer for other events, and hopefully as a newfound friend in Raleigh! Book this girl Y’all you won’t regret it :)

ed and even scoped out amazing photo locations near our venue ahead of time. She was super flexible and made us feel very comfortable! I highly recommend her and am so thankful she was our photographer! We LOVE our photos!

our wedding so beautifully!!! We couldn't have been happier and we feel like we gained a friend. We were so lucky to have met Joanna!

utiful, but she has a unique gift of capturing the emotion of the day. Our engagement session was so much fun! We went back to the place where we had our first date. Joanna even asked the restaurant where we have had anniversary dates if we could use their patio to take pictures, and those are some of our favorites. We ended up having our rehearsal dinner there and displaying a canvas print of one of those pictures. Joanna was a rock star on our wedding day! She was professional, personable, and incredibly efficient. She took so many gorgeous detail shots while we were getting ready, and she was unobtrusive during the ceremony and still captured it beautifully. The family and wedding party portraits were done quickly and still looked amazing. We only had an hour for pictures after the wedding ceremony, but she made it feel like plenty of time. We have so many gorgeous bride and groom portraits in multiple locations. She captured so many little moments that I missed with her candid pictures, and she even organized our send-off at the end of the day. On top of all that, she’s the kind of person you would want as your friend. I’d highly recommend her to anyone, and we’ll definitely use her for any future photography needs.

took extra steps to make sure she was prepared for our wedding day and that any lighting issues, timing issues, etc. would be handled and/or avoided all together -- she is very careful and detailed in her planning. On our wedding day, Joanna and Jesse were timely and attentive, they took liberty to capture candid, beautiful moments while also ensuring we got every photo on our "shot list". They are a friendly, reliable and accommodating duo that makes you feel 100% comfortable on your day. Not once were we worried about our photos or their judgement on what would look best. They are a joy to work with and so reasonably priced for the services and investment they provide -- they are truly passionate about their work. So far I have seen a few of our photos, which are breathtaking, and can't wait to see the rest!

ssional and she makes you feel so comfortable throughout the entire process. We can't thank you enough and will cherish those pictures for a lifetime!

edding vendors. She gave direction very well in the stressful environment of trying to get two large families together for pictures. When I received my wedding photos back I was in awe. They looked like they were straight from a wedding magazine. I could tell that each image had a purpose and a vision. She and her husband weren't just walking around snapping pictures. Their effort to capture my day for what is was truly shined through their work. Looking through the photos I was able to completely relive my day and experience all the little moments that just flew by so fast. The light, the positioning, the editing, the creativity, the quality, all of it was just everything I have ever wanted for my wedding pictures. They pay so much attention to detail. I would HIGHLY recommend Joanna to anyone! Joanna is always willing to step out of her comfort zone and try new things and adjust to a couple's "style" which is so awesome and ensures that your pictures will truly be unique! The Shugart's LOVE Joanna Sue Photography!

got. After my wedding, scrolling through our pictures, we were able to relive or beautifully captured wedding. And it was stunning!! Joanna and Jesse work great as a team! My husband, Tyler, shared that Jesse made him and his groomsmen feel comfortable and at ease in front of the camera. I highly recommend Joanna, she we will work with you, and do the most high quality work. It's better than Pinterest y'all!

ed. The day of she showed up early and did everything perfectly. I would recommend her to anyone who wants an incredible photographer to capture his or her day. She also edited our photos quicker than I expected and all of them were incredible. We are still amazed with how wonderful she was! Almost two years later her photos still cover our walls and we still recommend her to everyone in the area. She is as good as it gets folks!

single thing. Joanna and her husband made everyone feel so at ease (especially our daughter) and made us feel like we're family. Also, THE PICTURES. Y'all, she captured pictures that I could only dream of. Those dreams became reality when I received my pictures. She was also so quick about getting them back to us which was great because I was itching to see them! I really can't say enough good things about them. (They even made my husband cry when he saw the pictures and he's definitely not a crier.) If I could give any advice to a bride it would be to book Joanna and Jesse. They are the absolute best!

family pictures. I cannot recommend Joanna enough. She is just fabulous!

lized USB with my favorite picture as the background. I would HIGHLY recommend calling her to capture any of your special moments!
