Mrs. Suzette is AWESOME! She’s so attentive and easy to work with. As a bride, it’s usually your first (and only) wedding. So you don’t really know what you’re supposed to be doing or the need to knows. She made everything so easy for my husband and I to follow and everything went SUPER SMOOTH
Not being from the area, I really had no clue who to go to for capturing our wedding. SBJames Photography was recommended to us and after looking at the online portfolio I knew we had to book with them! Suzette was so attentive and worked with me to make sure she captured every important detail of our special day. Planning the wedding takes months and the big day comes and goes so fast...I am so glad that I didn’t skimp out when it came to the photography. I can now relive the magical moment over and over, thanks to SBJames Photography. My expectations were greatly surpassed not only from the photos but from the unbelievable client service. Will definitely be using SBJames Photography in the future!!
I highly recommend booking this company!! So professional and easy to work with! Quick response to questions affordable and wonderful people! Suzette definitely knows what she is doing and takes the extra time to capture all the details big and small!!! Did everything I wanted plus!!
Suzette and her assistant were amazing to work with!! I am the bride, and she got photos that are more beautiful than I could have imagined! We had an evening outdoor wedding and an indoor reception to follow. They shot both lighting area’s beautifully!! To set everything up we exchanged emails and had a phone call. Very affordable, very professional, and some of the nicest people I have ever met! 12/10 would recommend!!!
From the raw emotions to true color to brilliant lighting, Mrs. Suzette and her talented second shooter captured our wedding day with incredible precision and accuracy! Mrs. Suzette, is a true professional and brilliant visual artist, not to mention, a calming presence to have on your wedding day. When Covid 19 forced us to change our guestlist size and venue two weeks before our wedding, Mrs. Suzette didn't hesitate to encourage us and offer her professional opinion that helped our day go smoothly. Every time I view the images she captured, I am thrown back into that day and get to relive every moment! From the effortless candid shots to the beautifully composed group photos, every photo is simply brilliant. The unique photos we received were nothing short of a works of art. I cannot recommend SBJames Photography enough if you are looking for a professional, personable, visual artist to preserve your wedding day!
Suzette was wonderful to work with, very friendly which allowed us to get some great pictures! Our engagement and wedding photos turned out beautifully!
As a luxury wedding florist I have had the opportunity to work with many of the top photographers in the south. When it came time to choose a photographer for our son’s wedding Suzette was our first choice. We love Suzette’s editing style (or more specifically how little her photos need to be edited!) she is a true artist who is adept at her craft she gets the shot right from the get go in bright natural light capturing true vibrant colors and sharp details. Her night time photography is exceptional too with special effects lighting and dramatic contrast that I love. She has a journalistic style that really focused on our unique story and she accurately captured the emotions and key moments of the day. She is a consummate professional who shows up on time and works continually throughout the day so that she gets every important shot. While on the job she and her team were completely unobtrusive to the point that we didn’t even know she was there resulting in very natural poses and compositions. We were blessed with beautiful sneak peeks within hours of our event and her booking and consultation process was very thorough and enjoyable. I have seen thousands of wedding photos through my work in the industry and SB James is the best of the best!
We are so glad we chose SB James to be our wedding photographers! They were fantastic. Suzette is super friendly and easy to talk to. Before the wedding day, she answered all of my questions and gave me a helpful timeline/plan for the day regarding the photography. On the day of, she and her staff were efficient - quietly working hard the whole time. They were also so friendly - contributing calm and smiles into a relatively stressful day. We love the photos they took. It was exactly what we were hoping for. They are very talented, and had the eyes to capture so many moments I didn't even realize she was capturing - so neat to see the pictures they produce. They were also good with all of the detail photos - she got lots of photos of all of the little touches and decorations we planned for the day, but didn't have time to really get a good look at, on the day of. She has you covered. You will be glad you went with Suzette and her team. We definitely recommend them!
The team was AWESOME!!!! They caught our beautiful moments and that’s exactly what we wanted out of a photographer/videography team!! I recommend them to everyone we speak to! My husband and I would not change our decision about choosing SBJames Photography! My wedding was January 19th, 2020 and our families are still raving about how well they did! I can’t wait for our pictures and video to come back!!
Very excellent service! Professional and caring! Mrs. Suzette took absolutely beautiful pictures of our special day, and made us feel really comfortable while taking them!
Me and my wife got married May 25th 2019 and we had her as our photographer. She took amazing pictures and I would recommend her to everyone. Our pictures came out great
WOW!! The first thoughts that come to my mind when reviewing my photos for my wedding! SBJames managed to capture every single detail and all the moments of my family and my guests. She and her assistant were detailed, persistent, professional, and very pleasant to work with from day 1. Let me not forget to mention the quality of work!! She delivered amazing photos and her pricing is very reasonable!! SBJames adhered to their contract and I received my pictures within the time frame mentioned. They showed up to begin working ON TIME!! She was always available to answer questions. I had no worries with working with SBJames photography and I would recommend them 1000 times over and over again!!

Amazing is an understatement! Suzette and her team went above and beyond for our wedding day. They were sure to catch every detail, big and small. With all of the hectic wedding planning, Suzette always gave us a sense of relief, that our wedding day would be captured just the way we wanted.
Suzette and her team were a dream to work with. She shot both engagement and wedding day pictures. She had great ideas and kept me calm during the whole process. Her team was very professional and respected our space. I was impressed with the detailed photographs that were taken during the ceremony. I would highly recommend SB James Photography for your next special life event.
I hired SBJamesphotographer for my son's wedding 9/7/2019.
It was a church wedding to a reception hall.
Church weddings are not easy for a photographer and or videographer due to all the rules of churches. They must follow these rules and still manage to capture every precious moment of the ceremony.
They handled the timeline very well.
Had a great crew. They were on top of everything. Guests even noticed how they were everywhere to capture everything.
When researching for this vendor, they were the only that provided 2 photographers and 2 videographer without extra cost. Their prices are extremely reasonable and quality of work very professional.
I also suggest going with SBJamesphotographer, especially if you want videographer because they provide you with both services. You will have a team that works together to give you all those special moments that you will treasure for years to come. Suzette was very prompt to answer my questions, give ideas to, and very friendly and easy to talk to.
I would definitely suggest them to trust for your special day.
Suzette did an awesome job with our wedding. She got a bunch of awesome shots during the reception, and close-ups before hand. She is lovely!
Easy to work with, beautiful pictures!
We LOVED working with SBJames Photography! She did the engagement, bridal, wedding day photos, & videography. She always went over and beyond for us and produced amazing work . We cannot wait to use her for future milestones in our lives .
We loved her! She made everything so easy and got everything done quick! She even had our list with her to make sure she didn't miss any of the pictures we really wanted. Would definately recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer! Even our family was amazed at her work!
This team did an awesome job capturing our special day! They were so much fun to work with. Felt like part of the family. I'd definitely use them again if I ever want professional photos taken. Keep up the great work! :)
Loved working with Suzette! She listened to what I wanted and produced us beautiful pictures.
Great photographer!! I absolutely love my pictures and I can still call or message her with questions about downloading new pictures!! Kafore
Such a great photographer to work with!!! She takes the time to know your expectations but also adds her talent and creativity to bring your photos to the next level!
Suzette took my wife and I's engagement and wedding pictures. She worked with us with the budget we had to work with for photography and we were very happy with the end result!
After SBJamesPhotography took our engagements, we just knew we needed her to take our wedding photos too! She is both talented and easy to work with. We loved the quality of our photos, and the care that she took to make them. I highly recommend SBJames!
Suzette was great! She was very accommodating, the pictures came out beautifully, and we even got a photo album. I would def. recommend.
Suzette did a wonderful job on our wedding photos. Her prices are fair and she works very hard to make sure every little detail of the wedding is documented. We couldn’t have been happier with our photos and will cherish them for years to come!
Great, professional, friendly staff members who really know what they are doing. By the end of the wedding, they started feeling like part of the family. Thanks Suzette and company!
Thank you and your team very very much for your hard and nice work on our wedding day and your awesome preparation despite the short notice. You and your team are very nice and easy to work with. My husband, I, and our family members really enjoyed the whole process and felt very blessed! We have already received numerous positive feedback from our guests on how much they like the way you guys took the photos and filmed videos (especially on the dance floor!). In addition to that, we really appreciate how you guys helped us on the things outside your scope of work, such as placing the veil, buttoning up my wedding gown, placing boutonnière, etc. Can't wait to see all beautiful photos and videos! :)
SB James Photography was highly recommended by every wedding vendor we spoke to. Suzette’s photos speak for themselves. Suzette is not only extremely talented and capable; she is the consummate professional. Her team went above and beyond to capture each moment beautifully. She is respectful of the venues she works with and is timely and thoughtful. It was nice to have a photographer we could completely trust to capture all the special details of our wedding day. We really enjoyed working with her and cannot say enough good things about her services. We were told by many she was the best, and she still exceeded our expectations.
Best ever! Got the shots I had envisioned perfectly! On time, fun and punctuational.
Amazing! It was an amazing day that was captured in such a fabulous way! I couldn’t be more pleased with the photographs from my daughter’s wedding! Suzette is so laid back and sweet...and creative. She truly is an artist. I am in awe...every picture is beautiful...they really do like like they belong in a magazine. You are so talented Suzette and I cannot thank you enough for capturing her day in such a unique way!
Working with SBJames Photography was so easy and fun! Well priced for the services offered and quality of service. I would definitely recommend SBJames Photography!
We absolutely loved working with Suzette! She was so much fun and had so many creative ideas to get the most beautiful shots! Our wedding day was perfect and we can't thank SBJames Photography enough!!!
We had an excellent experience with Suzette at our daughter Laura’s wedding. She was so easy to work with and kept us all on track throughout the day.
The photographs are beautiful and she captured the joy of the day perfectly.
I am delighted to recommend her as a first class bridal photographer.
Suzette did an amazing job photographing my wedding! She was a pleasure to work with. My pictures turned out beautifully! :)
Suzette is awesome!!
She is so friendly and welcoming! She made our engagement pictures (which have the potential to be awkward) super relaxed and enjoyable. They turned out exactly like we wanted them to!
On the day of the wedding, Suzette was so so helpful and patient. She managed to capture all of the best moments of our big day. The pictures are awesome!
I can't say enough good things about her - awesome!!
We are absolutely in love with our wedding day pictures! Suzette is so creative and imaginative, fun to work with! I was obsessed with not having stiff/ formal pictures and was blown away with how many amazing pictures of everyone laughing and enjoying the wedding. Highly recommend for any couple getting married!
Great, personable, and friendly people to work with. We love our pictures!
Where do I even begin in recommending SBJames Photography. I cannot give Suzette enough stars. As the mother of the bride, one of the most important decisions concerning my daughter’s wedding was the photography. The venue may be spectacular, the flowers may be gorgeous, the bride and groom may look amazing, the ceremony may be magical, and the reception may be the event of the season, but if you do not have good photographs, all of that will exist only in your memory. So a great photographer for the wedding was our number 1 top priority. As an artist myself, I became interested in Suzettes photography when we lived in Baton Rouge and I have followed her artistry even after we moved from there. When the time came to choose a photographer for our daughter’s wedding, I did look around in my current home town but although I found that there are some good ones here, I knew that if I really wanted the very best, I would have to have Suzette. Thankfully, she was available on our date (but we would have changed the date, if she hadn’t been lol), and was willing to travel to us. One of the things that really impressed me about Suzette was the great communication we had with her. She was very thorough in finding out our vision and desires and she was willing to answer all types of questions and very quick to get back with her answers. She was helpful in so many other matters like, helping me to come up with a wedding timeline and with tips and advice. She’s as involved as you need her to be and thankfully she eased this nervous mother’s mind on many occasions. And that’s not even sharing yet about her amazing photography. We had her do our daughter’s engagement pics and also her bridals. I may sound biased because it’s photos of my daughter, but trust me when I say, they were some of the most beautiful engagement and bridal photographs I have ever seen. They FAR exceeded our expectations and having seen Suzette’s past work, our expectations were already high! The day of the wedding Suzette was a calming and professional presence. Our outside venue was massive and spread out and I was slightly concerned that one person couldn’t get so many shots from so many angles. I honestly don’t know how she did it but I shouldn’t have worried. Suzette is amazing and our resulting photographs showed us that. People who have seen our photos (engagements, bridals and the wedding day photos) have been blown away and have asked us who our photographer was. Those who attended the wedding say that the photographs truly captured the magic of the day. The creativity of the shots, the lighting, the special moments and the minute details that we may have forgotten over time, were all beautifully captured in her exquisite photographs. It was a fairy tale wedding and now we can look at our beautiful photographs and relive it as it truly was. If you are looking for a phenomenal photographer who is also an equally awesome person, please don’t hesitate to book Suzette for your wedding, portrait session or event. I guarantee that you will NOT be disappointed!
Suzette and everyone on her team that I had the pleasure to meet were AMAZING! I instantly felt comfortable at our first meeting. She took detailed notes about what kind of photographic style we liked and we sent pictures so she would know exactly what sort of feel we wanted. I had a bridal portrait session done and our wedding photos. I was nervous about the bridal portraits because I'm an awkward person and definitely not a model, but once I got the photos back you would never know that! Suzette gave great direction and made me feel like a model. She's still working on my wedding photos - I was married very recently, but I've seen a few photos and I'm in love! I can't wait to see the rest! I'm surprised there aren't more rave reviews of her on the knot - I would highly recommend her to anyone. Book her fast she's the greatest!! Not to mention her prices are extremely reasonable. I've heard so many photographer horror stories from friends and I feel so lucky and happy that I found someone so awesome. Also, her husband is in videography so it's a great package deal that they work so well together!
Suzette was a joy to work with! She took my daughter's engagement pictures. She was very kind and professional and open to hear ideas from my daughter about the pictures. Can't wait for the wedding pictures!
