Susan was fantastic! We found her online and asked her to photograph our Engagement pictures while we were in the Louisville area from out of town. She took full advantage of mul...
tiple outfits and various backgrounds and landscapes to create a bunch of pictures that captured our excitement for the venue and our happiness. After the resulting gallery knocked us off our feet, we asked her to photograph our reception in Lexington. Her attention to detail and thoroughness led to some amazing pictures. She entertained our guests while getting them to smile for portraits, she shared the details behind her actions in real time, and was familiar with the venue and knew where and what to shoot. She captured so many pictures of the beautiful venue and decoration details, the formal family pictures, informal conversation shots, and still made us feel like we were the center of the event. All while making sure we got all the pictures we wanted. We walked away from the night with a handful of mini polaroids! We then soon received, about a week later, another handful of photos. Next, we received delivery a few weeks after that of more photos and the final full portfolio about two months after the event. The full gallery reminded us how happy we were with how the details, family, and friends came together, some moments that we might have missed, and created a gallery we will always treasure as one of our favorite nights. Susan was great at communicating and kept us in the loop before and after the event.
We used Love Hunters for our engagement and elopement pictures, working with Susan both times. I cannot overstate what an incredible experience both times were. Susan is incredib...
le at creating moments that are special, and then capturing them in a way that feels organic and fun.
As a couple, we are not especially 'public'. We are more the low-key, relaxed atmosphere crowd. Prior to this experience, I would have emphatically stated that I would not likely enjoy the process of taking photos, and I definitely wouldn't be happy about all the planning that would be necessary to facilitate them.
After our experience with Love Hunters, my viewpoint is a complete 180. We had such a blast with Susan creating and then capturing special moments, that we never would have been able to do on our own (or likely with any other photographer). I cannot overstate how blown away we both were with the entire process, and I cannot recommend Love Hunters - and especially Susan - enough.
Susan is an INCREDIBLE photographer and we are so grateful to have worked with her! We love our engagement photos and wedding photos. Susan has so much experience and skill that it...
was just easy. She is accessible and answered all my questions!
Our images are stunning- every one is pure art. I would choose Susan as our photographer every time.
Thank you!
I cannot recommend Susan enough if you want absolutely STUNNING wedding photos. I was looking for natural lighting, high fashion look, and a focus on candid shots. Susan did more t...
han just deliver. When people see our photos they all are in shock at how gorgeous they are, she truly made us feel like models (no matter how awkward we were in the moment). By the end of the process Susan became like a friend to us and we are already brainstorming reasons to have photos taken with her again. Her team was incredible and we have the best memories of our wedding thanks to her!
A couple friends recommended Susan & Love Hunters for our wedding, and I am so thankful they did. Susan was an absolute joy to work with at every step of the process: She worked wi...
th us to create a package that fit what we wanted, was attentive to what kind of pictures we liked, and did an amazing job on the day of the ceremony. She's also so creative in sensing which parts of the venue would make for the best pictures, and at capturing things from every angle in a way that seems impossible. The pictures turned out so incredibly, and we haven't stopped looking at them and sharing them with friends since. She captured every incredible moment of an incredible day. I can't recommend Love Hunters enough. Susan is the best!
They say a picture is worth a 1,000 words, but that's not nearly enough to adequately capture how spectacular Love Hunters is! We are BLOWN AWAY by our wedding photos, which we got...
literally two weeks to the date after our wedding! I mean, that timeline is just insane, and we couldn't believe we got them back that quickly. Susan was such a dream to work with, and she made us feel so comfortable from the moment we first chatted and booked with her. From helping us craft a wedding day timeline to bringing the absolute best attitude and spunk, this superstar does it all! We had so much fun with her during the planning process, and she brought so much joy and energy to our wedding day. Susan does such an incredible job of getting the right balance of traditional shots and more candid, in-the-moment shots. She is so wildly talented, and we feel so beyond grateful we got to work with her! We will treasure our wedding photos and the experience forever thanks to her. We cannot recommend Love Hunters enough!
Love Hunters was an absolutely amazing choice for our engagement and wedding photography!! Susan made us feel comfortable from the moment we met her. For our engagement photos, she...
captured us in our favorite places (in several different locations), so not only were the pictures amazing but also very meaningful to us. On our wedding day, she and Sam were very organized and made sure we got every photo that we wanted and needed. She captured every special moment and detail from the day, so we can relive it over and over! The pictures turned out beautifully. I could not be happier or more appreciative that she was our photographer for our special day!!
Right when my husband popped the question, I knew without a doubt who I wanted to capture our day. I had been following Love Hunters for quite some time at that point. I have alway...
s loved her ability to find the perfect balance between traditional wedding photos and modern shots that are personal only to the couple. I immediately secured her for photography, but was hesitant with videography. In my mind at the time, it seemed like an extra perk and we didn’t have room in our budget for extras. As time got closer to the wedding, I came across a wedding video that made me begin to regret my decision to not add videography. After much deliberation, we secured Susan and her husband, Kevin, to shoot video as well. The day was perfect to say the least, but went by immediately. To say it was a blur would be an understatement.
We received our photos first, our expectations were greatly exceeded. Susan captured our day (while very pregnant I might add) perfectly. Each shot was well thought with us in mind and she got every detail I spent many restless nights worrying about. Even at the end when I was ready to eat, she pushed us to just get a couple more…those photos are by far my favorite and are currently hung up right next to me. So after being so incredibly happy with our photos, married life started and we only revisited our day every now and again with happy stories and instagram scrolling.
While celebrating another month down, we received our video. This video completely left my husband and I speechless. Many tears were shed as we listened to my sister tell our love story as our day unfolded right in front of us. We were able to relive our perfect day, see our family smiling, friends dancing-we were immediately taken back to the best day of our life. Our video passed expectations I didn’t even know I had. Our video will be there during the happy moments, hard times and all of the in between days in our marriage. I cannot wait to show our children, grandchildren and great grand children how much love there was on the day of October 5th, 2019.
For all those that are questioning adding on videography, believe me I was there. I never really got into other wedding videos, and only until after seeing ours, it became clear that our love story is only ours, just like our timeless video. So when considering if this extra perk is worth the money, keep in mind that you’ll quickly learn it’s not a perk, it’s up there with venue, dress, and booze-it’s essential. And when you are considering Love Hunters, I would 100% recommend, absolutely no question-she is one of the best in the business.
I cannot recommend Susan and her team enough. First of all, the art is incredible - the most beautiful, real, unique yet classic photos we could’ve wished for. And the team is a pl...
easure to work with at any stage of a journey. Susan is attentive, personable, kind, and creative. My husband was dreading having to be in front of a camera for a couple hours, but Susan immediately helped him feel comfortable and let our shoot flow. It really just felt like hanging out with a friend. The engagement photos we received are memories we will cherish forever. I’m grateful to have worked with such a fantastic group. I would implore any engaged couples to hire Love Hunters stat!!!
WOW -- Thats the word I use to describe my experience with the Love Hunters team. After viewing Love Hunters work on InstaGram, I knew they were the photographer for us. The moodin...
ess of the photos were exactly what we were looking for! Susan was amazing to work with planning everything with my busy schedule. Planning a wedding is no joke, even with a wedding planner. After scheduling, and rescheduling, and finally choosing a place for engagement pictures, Susan worked with our awkwardness and crazy dogs to create BEAUTIFUL photos for us. Fast forward to our wedding day. The craziness began, but Susan started work, pretty much without me knowing to be honest, and I loved that. She worked so well with our videographer (Happy Camper Film Photo) and was not in the way at all. I told her what I was wanting ahead of time, and she got everything. It was not until later that day that I met her work partner Sam--he spent the morning with the boys, and bless him for that. My husband is not very chatty and does not enjoy pictures, but he was able to make a fun environment to get some great shots! Susan & Sam are a well oiled machine. They made sure we got time to eat dinner (thank goodness because I get hangry so fast) and got amazing shots just the 2 of us after the ceremony without disturbing the vibe of the wedding. After the wedding/honeymoon hype wore down, we received our photos and flash drive in the mail in the chicest way! The box they delivered our photos in will be treasured forever and really showed they cared about details. We are forever thankful for Love Hunters and they will be apart of our lives for many years to come! With my husband and I expecting our first child, we are already in the works of booking Love Hunters for the maternity shoot! It would be silly to book anyone else!
Thank you Susan & Sam!

I don't know where to start with how wonderful our experience with Love Hunters has been. Working with Susan, Sam, and Kevin was so fun and personable and we couldn't have asked fo...
r anything better. In my initial conversation with Susan, I immediately knew I wanted to hire her as our wedding photographer. She was so easy to talk to and understood what I was looking for. Susan was also extremely flexible with our engagement photos. There was bad weather on our initial date for the engagement photos, and Susan did not hesitate to move them until the weather improved.
During our engagement photos, Susan and Sam were so great at directing us on where to look, what to do, and made it so fun. We were ecstatic with how our engagement photos turned out. They're beautiful!
Leading up to our wedding, Susan was great about making sure our timeline and schedule of photos was set and made a list of all 'Must Take' photos. It was a breeze scheduling this, thanks to Susan.
The day of our wedding couldn't have been more perfect, and Susan and her team at Love Hunters were a big part of how great our day turned out. Not only were they professional and made sure we kept on schedule and got all the photos we wanted, but they were so fun to hang out with. Several members of the bridal party mentioned to me how great they thought Love Hunters was and were impressed.
Now that we have our wedding photos back, I cannot thank Susan, Sam, Kevin and Love Hunters enough for capturing the beauty of our day perfectly. The pictures are stunning and I can't stop looking at them.
We got our wedding video back and I watched it 8 times in a row, no joke! The music is stunning. The edits are perfect. The moments captured are unforgettable. I get emotional watching it still, months later. It is the perfect combination of pre-wedding, ceremony, and post-wedding footage. The special moments and emotions of the day were captured perfectly - laughs, happy tears, love - it's all there for us to re-live. Our friends/family love our wedding video too and have all positive things to say. Picking Love Hunters to capture our wedding photos AND wedding video was 100% the perfect decision for us.
I would hire Love Hunters a thousand times over and am so thankful we found them!
Susan was the most amazing person to work with!!! She not only was a fantastic photographer that calmed my nervous, unphotogenic groom but she also worked with me extensively on my...
details and timeline! She has a wealth of knowledge on how weddings work and she, so kindly, provided all her best practices to me while I worked on our day of timeline. We had at least phone calls to talk through the timeline and then she kept us on time the day of the wedding, it was incredibly helpful!!!! Her photos are amazing, I have been a bridesmaid in 2 of her weddings before so I knew the product was going to be fantastic! She provided sneak peeks of our engagement and wedding less than a week after, it was amazing!!!! I can't sing her praise enough, she is truly one of a kind and one of the most helpful people you can have throughout your wedding planning process!!!!
It has been 4 months since the wedding of my daughter and son-in-law in Nashville, Tennessee. The vendors they chose were outstanding, but the most impactful was their choice of Lo...
ve Hunters as the wedding photographer. Susan took the time, at the engagement photo session, to get to know Rachel and Lucas. Because of that effort, the chronicling of the wedding captures their personalities, as a couple, and as individuals. They respected the couples desire to have fewer formal pictures, while having enough to satisfy the parents-a true balancing act. From the details of the flowers, to the huge group shot of each side of the new family, with so many candids in between, Susan and Sam preserved the day for us to enjoy forever.
During the formal shots, Susan had a vision that was very efficiently communicated, from where to put your hands, how to hold the flowers, etc.. so that the wedding party looked their best.
The candid pictures taken captured the joy and happiness expressed, from the bride and groom, to the friends and family in attendance.
In particular, the photos of the band and the wedding guests enjoying themselves were so much fun to see.
Our only regret was failing to have a videographer. In hindsight, the extra that we would have spent, was not much, for the return of having another view of the day.
Hopefully, we’ll have a chance to correct that omission the next time we have a family wedding. Can’t wait to use the service of Love Hunters again!
We had the BEST experience with Susan. She is not only an amazing photographer but had great advice and suggestions for all our venders (flowers, hair, music, etc). At first, my hu...
sband and I weren't interested in doing an engagement session but she highly encouraged it. By the end of the session, we had to admit we were so glad we did it. Susan has a way of making it all feel natural. She was easy to get a hold of and very adaptable to any special request we had. And since she has so much experience, Susan was also able to help us identify any issues she thought we may run into on the big day (i.e. helped with our timeline). On top of all of this.... she takes AMAZING PICTURES!!!!!! You will not be disappointed :)
Anyone can see the sheer talent Love Hunter's has through their pictures and albums, but what pictures don't convey is the friendliness, hard work, and professionalism of their tea...

Love Hunters was the perfect selection for our engagement and wedding photographers. For our engagement session, their team picked the perfect time and locations for our shoot. They were able to not only capture the beauty of the scenery around us, but our personalities were evident in the shoot. They easily made us laugh and feel at ease so our photos looked more natural and fun. We got so many compliments on our engagement photos and even displayed them at our wedding.
Then came the wedding, which was no easy task for Love Hunters. We had a large wedding with 4 different locations for the two different wedding preps, wedding ceremony, and reception. Love Hunters went to each location and operated a photo-booth at the reception. With their team they captured everything from candid shots of my niece, our guests, the table arrangements, cake, etc. to the formal shots of our families, bridesmaids, groomsmen, guests both in and out of the photo-booth, and just the groom and bride together.
After the wedding Andrew and I were excited to see pictures and were surprised that we received a sneak peak of our wedding photos so soon. We also received our wedding photos and jump drive much more quickly than what we anticipated.
The pictures not only capture the entirety of the day, but the beauty and emotions of the day. I am beyond grateful we chose Love Hunters as our photographers and for their amazing work. I have been able to relive our wedding day through these photos and will continue to do so in the future.
Love Hunters has the talent, friendliness, hard work, and professionalism you want for your special day.
It has been about a year since I got married, and I can tell you my wedding photos mean the world to me. All you have left when it is over is your photos and your video. Susan capt...
ured every moment, even moments I didn't think were special but looking back were some of the sweetest. She is a complete perfectionist, and her photos reflect that. Worth every penny.
Susan was fun to work with for our engagement and wedding and was a consummate professional -- particularly when difficulties needed to be managed.(She also redirected our lost lim...
o driver and prevented the wedding ceremony being way off schedule -- not at all in her scope of duty, and oh boy, did we appreciate it.) Most importantly, we've gotten a million compliments on Susan's excellent photos! thanks, Susan!
Two notes: we signed on with Susan before the brand name change, and as mid-30s bride and groom, we much preferred the less cute/youthful brand name. I noticed that she does mostly photograph folks who are younger than ourselves, though, so the brand name may target her market very well!
Secondly, make sure you take note of the tasks at hand AFTER the wedding and be proactive about getting those selections made. We were slower than molasses getting Susan our album choices, and I do wish she'd gotten on us more with gentle reminders as the months dragged on!
Susan is a great photographer and a very thoughtful human -- highly recommended!
Choosing the perfect photographer was the most important vendor decision to us. We scoured the internet for weeks researching different photographers in the area but kept coming ba...
ck to Susan's photos, and none seemed to compare to how much we loved her work. When we got our engagements photos back, we knew we made the best choice. Susan and her associate photographer, Sarah, captured our wedding day. They were both very attentive and always giving us little tips to position ourselves or make sure my hair or train was laying perfectly. They captured everything we wanted and more. Susan sent us a few teaser shots within a week of our wedding and the rest about a month later. They are truly the most beautiful photos! Our family and friends have not stopped commenting on how fabulous Susan and her photos are, and we couldn't be happier with choosing her as our photographer!
Hiring Love Hunters to photograph our wedding was one of the best decisions we've ever made! Susan knew EXACTLY what we wanted and made sure to get all of the shots I was hoping fo...
r plus a LOT that I didn't even think of before! She is extremely detail oriented and makes sure everyone is looking their best in every shot! She also got our pictures back to us SUPER fast and when I received the USB/jump drive package, my jaw literally dropped. She was so thoughtful and it was truly something I'll cherish for the rest of our lives!!
Susan and Sam are amazing! So incredibly talented and down to earth. Picking a photographer is hard but I rest assured knowing I picked our perfect match!
Choosing a wedding photographer is one of the most important decisions a couple has to make. The photographer has the capture memories that will last a lifetime. I’m so glad that w...

ake of its own!!
I am so happy we chose Love Hunters to be our wedding photographers. Susan and Sam are truly amazing at what they do. From start to finish they were very professional, caring, and ...
easy to work with. They invited us to look at all of their products at their studio and let us choose the appropriate package we needed. We had no idea what we truly wanted, but had small ideas. We trusted their judgment and style, and as they guided us through the entire process, everything exceeded our expectations.
We didn't know where we wanted our engagement shoot to take place, but Susan and Sam had some hidden gems in mind. Our engagement shoot was full of fun and laughter. As for our wedding photos, we were overwhelmed at how wonderful they turned out. Susan and Sam went above and beyond to get so many different shots that we never would have envisioned. I may be biased, but I truly love their style and work ethic. You cannot go wrong.
Susan and Sam were absolutely incredible to work with. When my husband and I started planning our wedding we decided that photography would be our most important vendor on our list...
. We literally met with 11 different photographers in Louisville, but from the moment we met with Susan and Sam we were sold.
We wanted to have professional, timeless, and beautiful photos. But we also wanted to be comfortable and to have fun. We did our engagement pictures with them first which allowed us to get to know them casually before the big day. Talk about a fun experience! Our wedding day was amazing, and both Susan and Sam kept us relaxed and having fun. I could have not asked for a better team.
I would recommend them to anyone I know and hope to work with them throughout our life's adventures!
Susan and Sam are amazing! They were so easy to work with and Susan made sure to call the day before to see how I was and to calm any pre wedding nerves which was very thoughtful. ...
They were super flexible on the wedding day and made my husband and I feel at ease in front of the camera. We also got our pictures back quickly after the wedding which I know any newlywed really appreciates. Would definitely recommend!
Susan and Sam are so easy to work with. It was like having a couple of our close friends handling all things photography on our wedding day. Their personalities are one of their bi...
ggest strengths but their photography skills are the real reason to hire them. We had a lot of luck from Mother Nature, but Susan and Sam's ability to find the angles and light that make beautiful photos is second to none. Highly recommend. If I ever got married again (to my husband of course 😉😉) they would be my photographers.
Love Hunters is amazing. Susan and Sam photographed my wedding four years ago and we can't say enough wonderful things about them. Since our wedding, my husband and I got into the ...
wedding business ourselves (we are wedding videographers) and have had the privilege to shoot alongside Love Hunters. They are nothing short of professional, genuine, and crazy talented. It is SO crucial to find a photographer who works well with other vendors! We have also used them to shoot promotional material for our website, and anniversary photos. They are pretty much our forever photographers - love them!
Susan & Sam are THE BEST! They are both so easy to work with, are extremely talented and produce an amazing final product. I cannot recommend them enough. One of our favorite vendo...

Couldn't ask for a better photographer! Initially booked them for our wedding and now use them for ALL of our photography needs!

Wow... I don't have enough kind words for this team!
First, the quality of the photos is incredible... They have a wonderful eye for art and all of the shots are just beautiful...
.
The value is second to none- having 2 photographers insured that all of our special moments were captured.
I mostly worked with Susan during the day. She was so professional. Because of her exoerience in the industry, she knew which shots she needed, directed us very well, and did so without getting in our way or interfering with all of the organic special moments that occur on the wedding day.
I had the best experience with Susan and Sam and know that I will use them for lots of family photos in the future!!
Stewart-Hunter Photography is the best, most reasonably priced Louisville area wedding photography. Susan traveled to Guatemala to shoot my destination wedding in November 2014. I ...
had been in the bridal party for other weddings she has shot, so I knew that I would be treated well and with respect during the day. She captured every moment from the beginning to end of our wedding day. She was flexible and tried to get every shot we wanted. The photos that we received from Stewart-Hunter Photography were high quality, and the files were well organized and easy to view. I would highly recommend using this great company for wedding photography!
Susan and Sam are great photographers. Their packages are not based on hours, which allows you a lot more freedom in planning the day. I also liked that they were able to split up ...
and photograph both of us getting ready. They scouted the area around our hotel and found the best place for a first look. Susan was great at directing our somewhat rowdy families and keeping as close to the schedule as possible. We originally didn't order an album but are considering adding one on since we love our pictures so much!
Stewart Hunter is awesome! I would highly recommend them!!
