Hiring Susan as our wedding photographer was one of the best decisions we made! Her energy and professionalism made the entire process so enjoyable. My husband isn’t typically photogenic, but Susan worked her magic during both our engagement and wedding shoots, helping him feel comfortable and confident.
Susan’s timeline was a lifesaver, keeping us on track without ever feeling rushed or pulling us away from the moments that mattered most. She also collaborated seamlessly with our videographer, which made everything run smoothly.
We had a clear vision of what we wanted our wedding to look like, and Susan captured it perfectly through her photography. We trusted her expertise and gave her the freedom to choose poses and locations, and it truly paid off. The results are beyond stunning!
Susan now feels like a friend after this experience, and we are so grateful for her work. We have two beautiful albums filled with memories we’ll cherish forever. If you’re looking for a photographer who will exceed your expectations, we highly recommend Susan for any future Mr. & Mrs.!
Working with Susan Elizabeth and her team truly MADE our wedding day! I found Susan Elizabeth by looking through our wedding venue’s Instagram and by far, I loved the way her photos captured the couple and site the most. Every picture looked natural through the way the couples were pictured and the coloring of every image. I was taken aback by how seamless, helpful, creative, and kind everyone we worked with was- from her design team, associate photographers, and Susan herself. On the wedding day, I felt so much more light knowing her team was there to guide and memorialize the day. I am forever grateful for these pictures, and the entire experience, that captured our day so beautifully!
We are so thrilled with the photos from our daughter's wedding, they are PERFECT. Susan and her team captured the love and magic of the day. They are professional, fun, funny and efficient. Above and beyond happy with Susan and I highly, highly recommend her!
If you're searching for a wedding photographer, look no further than Susan Elizabeth Photography. Her signature light and airy aesthetic immediately drew us in, but it was her warmth and artistic vision that made our choice simple.
What sets Susan apart is her exceptional talent and genuine care for her clients. From our first meeting to our final album delivery, having Susan as our photographer felt less like a vendor relationship and more like having a trusted friend by our side. Her meticulous attention to detail and thoughtful communication gave us complete confidence that we made the right decision. The investment is absolutely worth it for the exceptional quality and experience you receive.
We were absolutely stunned by our photos - each image more breathtaking than the last. Susan has an incredible eye for capturing those perfect, intimate moments that tell the story of your day. Her dedication didn't end with the wedding; Susan and her team worked closely with us afterward to create an album that perfectly preserves our memories.
Don't hesitate to book Susan Elizabeth Photography. It will be one of the best decisions you make for your wedding day!
Susan Elizabeth was the photographer for our wedding at the Ryland Inn in October 2023. We knew after our initial consultation that Susan was the one! She’s personable, thorough and professional. Her vibe aligned exactly with what we were seeking – both style and personality. Throughout the process of wedding planning, Susan was engaged and attentive to details. She was always responsive to any questions that I had. The day of our wedding, Susan and her assistant’s eye for detail was astounding. Beyond their photography expertise, they were an absolute pleasure to spend the day with. The first time we saw our photos, we melted and had tears of joy! We were in awe of how the photos exhibited love and light. They both captured the most candid and intimate moments.
We will treasure our photos forever. Thank you, Susan Elizabeth Photography!
1000% recommend. Not only is Susan an incredible photographer - but she is an absolute blast. So easy going and fun, and makes taking (sometimes awkward) pictures so fun. She went above and beyond with providing timelines, etc. and made my wedding planning process so smooth. Could not recommend more!!
From my first conversation with Susan I knew she was going to be such a dream to work with for both my engagement photos & wedding! You can really feel the energy and passion she has for her work and that translates into her incredible photos. I got married at an indoor/outdoor venue during a tropical storm (40-50 mph winds) and she was able to pivot the plan day-of to make sure I got all the best shots (while staying clean & dry). It meant the world to me and was executed seamlessly. I also LOVED how she posted behind the scenes content on social media that I could re-post/save/send to family, and received my sneak peak photos, all by the next day. I felt so comfortable with her and her team throughout the entire process and felt very taken care of on the big day. When you let Susan do her thing, her talent truly shines. Would recommend her to all my friends!
We loved working with Susan! She was so much fun to be around, which helped our pictures turn out so natural and beautiful! She was very professional and knowledgeable. She knew exactly where to take photos and how we should pose. She was also extremely organized and made sure our big day ran smoothly and we got all the pictures we wanted. Our photos were stunning because of her! Can't recommend her enough!
Susan, through my entire experience with her (not just at the wedding), was very personable and easy to communicate with. The day of the wedding, I was pleasantly surprised by how organized, calm, and humorous she was. The photos came out beautiful and I couldn’t put into words how impressed I am with her ability to spontaneously create an artistic moment in a photo. Honestly, having her as a photographer (and her awesome assistant) made my husband and I’s day more fun, full of more laughs, and gratitude for the choice we made to go with her. Not to mention how much of a ninja she was on the dance floor. I rarely saw her and she never got in the way of anything.
Susan is the best! I'm obsessed with my pictures, and she made the whole process so easy and painless. She was fun, attentive, and made me feel so comfortable. I highly recommend!
Susan was the very FIRST vendor I booked because I knew I wanted her to be a part of my wedding day! I chose my date based on her availability- that's how badly I wanted to have her! I loved her romantic, airy style. Every photo is magazine worthy! Susan was the best support throughout the wedding process. I had a small, intimate ceremony and did not use a wedding planner. Susan helped me create a wedding day timeline and checked in with me leading up to my day. Susan's cheerful, fun energy brought so much FUN to my day! I was worried about how I would look in my photos, but Susan helped me with posing and directed my husband and me. The results were beautiful and I'm so happy with her work! Thank you Susan for everything!
Susan is the best photographer there is!! If you are reading this- book her now! Susan only books a certain amount of weddings each year, so be sure to reach out to her as soon as possible. Susan is a friend, a planner, and a photographer throughout your entire wedding process. Prior to us even booking Susan, she spent a full hour talking to us- learning about us, sharing with us her process, and going through what all the next steps would look like. Susan takes an incredible personal approach to every couple she works with. Susan plans your entire wedding timeline for you – this is a huge help when planning your wedding day. She also guides you with many helpful hints, tricks, and guides- but ultimately respects what decisions you make for your wedding. I ran into many weather challenges and Susan was an amazing help through it all. For our engagement shoot- we had to reschedule twice due to rain and wind- as we were shooting on a beach. During each of these “reschedules”, Susan would call me to go through the pro’s and con’s of whether we would move forward with the shoot or not. For the wedding day, when rain was becoming a reality in the forecast, Susan talked to me on the phone for an hour to help me understand how she would make the day work regardless. I am a very type A/ planner person who loves sunshine, and I can honestly say Susan made the rain a non-issue on my wedding day, and majority of the pictures you could not even tell it was raining. Susan also put herself straight in the rain countless times to ensure I got the photos I was dreaming of- and they were light, airy and incredible!! Susan is also so much fun, very kind, and easy to work with! You become a friend during the process and as Susan is editing she will frequently text you “sneak peaks” which is so much fun to be able to see the photos come to life live. I cannot thank Susan enough for all her help through the entire wedding process, and how amazing she was on the wedding day!!
We hired Susan for our engagement shoot & wedding based off of reviews & checking out her social media. We immediately loved her shooting style & vibe! When we met up for our engagement shoot, we quickly realized that Susan was so cool & my fiancé & I had so much fun! We knew then that we definitely made the right choice in also booking her for our wedding. Fast forward to the wedding day, Susan & team really made us feel special & took the most beautiful pictures of our day. My Dad joked that there was a whole production team for our wedding between Susan’s crew & the videographer & there definitely was! Thank you Susan for capturing all of the details & highlights so perfectly! There were definitely tears when she posted the initial “sneak peek” on social media & even more once our album arrived!
I stumbled across Susan when we first got engaged, and once we had a wedding date, she was the first vendor I booked. She’s a magician. Obviously I think they’re the best wedding photos because they’re mine, but our friends and family are all commenting on how beautiful the photos are! She’s so fun the day of and so talented!
I cannot say enough good things about Susan! We were married on November 12, 2022, and Susan made the entire day perfect. From our first communications, Susan was extremely responsive to everything. Our engagement shoot was perfect and the wedding day was even more perfect if that can even happen. She was highly detailed and helped you throughout the process to make the best decisions. I am so excited to get all of the pictures back. The day wouldn't have been even close to as amazing as it was if it wasn't for Susan!
One of the BEST decisions we made for our wedding day was hiring Susan for our Florida wedding. She was incredible from start to finish, making us feel at ease with her guidance while navigating the torrential downpour that loomed over our venue. As the rain hammered down, Susan took charge and washed away my worries of not having any outdoor photos with her quick and clever thinking. Thank you so much, Susan, for making our day the best it could be. <3
Susan makes you feel like she is your friend from day one! Making sure the connection is there, understanding what you are looking for, etc. She is AMAZINGLY organized so when other vendors ask timelines you have it all set from Susan. After the most incredible day of your life her photos make you fall in love with the day all over again when you see them!! She does a fabulous job ad her photos are ASOLUTELY BREATHTAKING! Cannot thank Susan enough!
Susan Elizabeth was truly amazing! Providing us with the wedding photos of our dreams and had the day organized perfectly leaving me with nothing to worry about. Book her you won’t regret it from start to finish by far the best experience and photos ever!
I have been (patiently) waiting to be married for 13+ years so I can use Susan as my wedding photographer, and she did not disappoint! Her expertise and attention to detail shine through in her work. She was so easy to work with, and managed myself and my bridal party with ease. She is always so responsive to email communication and has tons of resources that help you throughout your wedding planning process. She also worked super hard to send over a few teaser photos from our day so we had them. And we are absolutely obsessed with them. If you are looking for a wedding photographer, look no further!
Susan was the first vendor we booked for our July 9, 2022 wedding, and it was the best decision we ever made! From the very beginning Susan was extremely sweet, personable and easy to get along with. She was extremely helpful and partnered with us when determining other vendors to book. We constantly had an open line of communication during the months leading up to the big day and she also made sure our day was prioritized from start to finish. I cannot recommend Susan enough. Not only was she a great person to work with, but she also made sure our big day was fun and filled of laughter and love rather than the monotony and the stress that can come with wedding pictures. If you are looking for a wedding photographer who truly cares about making you and your fiancé’s special day the greatest moment of your lives, then Susan is the photographer for you!
Susan was awesome! Can't recommend her enough she was extremely organized leading up to our wedding and was efficient with our time the day of. The photos came out beautiful and I'm so excited to see our wedding album!
Susan is an incredibly talented photographer and was amazing to work with! I couldn’t have imagined not having her there on the day of our wedding. As someone who doesn’t love taking pictures, Susan made our day so much fun! She truly cares about her brides and making sure you get what you want out of your photos. She is an expert at what she does, and we couldn’t be happier with our photos. Would give more than 5 stars if I could!
Susan was one of the best decisions we made when it came to vendors for our wedding. We initially hired a different photography company when we first started planning in 2019 and after we had an engagement session with them, we decided we did not want to move forward with them for our wedding day. We were looking for a new photographer and Susan was the first photographer we met with (out of 6) on a zoom call in the middle of 2020. My husband and I both loved her personality and could tell how detailed she was and how much she cared about her clients and the photos she took. After meeting with the other photographers, no one compared to our meeting with her and we decided to move forward. Booking with Susan is an EXPERIENCE. She is truly an expert at what she does and sends you so much helpful information along the way so that you are prepared for your wedding day – she wants your pics to turn out beautiful just as much as you do! On our wedding day, Susan and her team were amazing. They kept everything moving and made sure we stayed on time but still managed to keep a calm and fun energy throughout the day. My bridal party was also raving about her and her team. Even after the wedding, she kept in touch and would send sneak peaks and the turnaround time for her to send us the photos was so quick! The way she organizes the photos in her gallery is so helpful. She is a true professional and I could go on and on about how amazing she is. I would recommend her 10/10!
Susan and her assistant, Amberlee, were absolutely phenomenal on the day of our wedding. They considered every single detail and put care and thought into getting every shot so that not a single experience was missed. It is obvious that Susan is a consummate professional who has a true passion for capturing every one of her couple's special moments. We started with an engagement session about 8 months before our wedding. We were worried that we would feel awkward an uncomfortable since we are not great in photos, but Susan made us feel so comfortable and at ease. She taught us the best ways to pose naturally, which was perfect practice to make all of our wedding day portraits flow smoothly. Every picture is beautiful...we have no idea how we will choose favorites! We would HIGHLY recommend Susan to any couple who are prioritizing gorgeous, timeless photos for their wedding day! Thank you, Susan and Amberlee!
I have said “Susan is amazing” no less than 10,000 times during our wedding planning! I knew immediately Susan was it and we were in good hands! Her honesty is what I appreciated the most. She took the time to chat with me and help me understand and see how certain decisions we made would shape our wedding day. At the end of the day it is your wedding and she supports your decisions but her knowledge and understanding helped making these decisions easier for Ryan and I. She is unbelievably talented and her attention to detail is so on point and amazing. I strongly encourage booking engagement photos too. Ryan and I never had never taken a professional picture before in our lives and that time with Susan allowed us to get to know each other but also prepared us for what to expect on our wedding day. Susan made it effortless for us when it came to providing a list of what is needed for wedding day photos to planning the wedding day timeline to making our wedding day run smoothly! The teasers she posted from our wedding only has me 1,000 times more excited to see all of our pictures! And I thought picking out my favorite engagement photos was hard enough! Do not think twice about choosing Susan as your photographer. I promise you will not be disappointed working with Susan or the photos you will have for years to come!
Susan was the first vendor we booked for our May 2021 wedding, and boy are we happy we did. The first time my fiancé and I spoke with Susan, we knew we had to book with her. Not only did we click with her but we were beyond impressed by her knowledge in wedding photography. We had our engagement session in July and were BLOWN AWAY! It was the first time my fiancé and I took professional photos, so of course we were nervous. After talking to Susan for only a few minutes those nerves went away. Susan made us feel so comfortable and it was like we've known her and have been taking professional photos for years! Both of us had so much fun. And to no surprise, our photos came out absolutely STUNNING! We are so happy with them and cannot wait for the wedding.
Susan is an extremely talented photographer. We were so lucky to have her shoot our engagement shoot before covid hit. She made my husband and I both feel so comfortable, and we ended up having a ball! I don’t think we stopped laughing the entire shoot. Every single photo Susan took is stunning and really captures a beautiful moment. When we had to cancel our wedding, Susan was wonderful to work with and helped us find a new date. We are so excited to have Susan shoot our rescheduled wedding reception! Her photography is one of the parts I am looking forward to most. :)
Susan was absolutely AMAZING during our entire wedding process. We cannot put into words how happy we are that we booked Susan to photograph our engagement, as well as our wedding day. Throughout the entire wedding process, along with having to postpone our wedding due to COVID, Susan was very receptive and response to all our concerns. She is very easy to communicate with and very personable. Overall, we had an amazing experience with both sessions! Her work and talent in photography is incredible! We can’t thank you and your assistant Amber enough, for capturing our moments that will last us a lifetime! We look forward to booking you again for other events!
From the moment we first reached out to Susan our experience working with her was effortless and enjoyable. She is easy to communicate with and worked with us to reschedule our engagement photos several times due to bad weather! My fiance and I were anxious about spending 2 hours taking engagement photos but Susan makes you feel totally comfortable and natural throughout the whole experience. She accommodated all of our last minute requests including getting our dog into photos! She is professional and gets her job done but also can't help but make you (and family and friends!) have fun while working with her. The photos from our wedding are absolutely flawless. Sometimes when I look at them I still can't believe they are of our wedding! All of our friends and family are blown away with how they turned out and we will cherish them forever! Would absolutely book Susan again and also recommend getting one of her wedding albums. Totally worth the money!
Words cannot express how happy we are to have had Susan as our photographer! We came across her photos on Instagram and knew right away we had to see if she would be available for our wedding.
Susan and her team made our wedding day run completely seamlessly. They know exactly what they’re doing and there’s no need for you as a bride (or groom) to have to think or stress about absolutely anything the day of - with Susan everything was planned out in advance, which made the big day run perfectly. Susan is also soooo caring and made me and my wedding party feel so comfortable taking photos, too!
And for the photographs themselves - they are absolutely STUNNING! I can’t begin to express how many compliments we still get about our photos and how beautiful they are! Susan really just has an eye for the perfect shots, and I am SO grateful we found her!
Susan was absolutely amazing during our whole wedding process. From her organized timeline, to her amazing personality and of course, her perfection in her pictures, she exceeded all expectations. For us, we got lucky enough to get married during a hurricane at the Mallard Island Yacht Club. However, Susan did not miss a beat and our pictures are proof that you don't need a sunny day to have AMAZING photos. Susan and her team are everything you would ever want on your wedding day because she keeps everything in order, stays on your timeline while making the whole process super fun and enjoyable. We got some many compliments from our bridal party and family about Susan. She was nothing short of amazing.
I could literally write a book about how amazing Susan was on our wedding day (and before!) Everything leading up to our day was 100% organized from payments to an entire outline of everything we could expect from her for the day to what we needed for her to take amazing pictures on the wedding day! On the day of, she was like a friend hanging out with us while we were getting ready! She captured perfect moments during our ceremony and made us look like professional models during the photos!
She also gave us about 30 preview photos literally the NEXT DAY for us to share with family and friends! We got our entire album within a few weeks!
Literally every picture was perfect - which I expected based on her amazing instagram (which is actually how I found Susan - thank goodness!). She is worth every single penny and we couldn't have asked for a better person to capture our wedding day!
We knew from the moment we first spoke with Susan that she was going to be our wedding photographer and felt beyond confident in our decision. She made us feel comfortable immediately, was extremely sweet, efficient, and organized in her approach with us. Once we booked her, we never had to worry about the day-to-day details of our wedding because Susan provided us with a detailed timeline of the entire day, morning to night. The day of the wedding Susan was absolutely amazing to work with - she made the entire bridal party and family feel comfortable, all while being professional and well-prepared. She even had a portable stereo to play music during the bridal party shots! Susan brought along Chrissy, our second photographer who shot mainly with the groomsmen and was amazing as well. Our jaws dropped when Susan showed us sneak peeks of our wedding portraits. We were elated when we opened our first set of sneak peek photos and so were all of our family and friends! Susan’s incredible talents truly shine through in her work. Susan makes each of her couples feel special and beautiful. Her work truly is phenomenal and we highly recommend Susan to anyone in need of a photographer. She was a perfect choice.
Wedding planning can be super stressful and time consuming. After seeing Susan Elizabeth's wedding and engagement photos, and having one conversation with her, we knew we could cross that decision off of our list. Susan is a complete professional, takes outstanding pictures, and is extremely funny! Thank you to Susan Elizabeth for capturing moments that will last us a lifetime!
My husband and I are just a little slow at writing our wedding reviews. I think we were both hoping what to say with time. However, we are both still at a loss for words when it comes to Susan's work. Amazing just doesn't seem to describe it. From creating our photography timeline to our wedding day, she was there for everything. She really has such an eye for her work that the day of our wedding we were ready and willing to try everything she asked! Our photographs speak for themselves, but to say we were pleased is an understatement. If you are still looking for a photographer, look no further than Susan. As our friends and family have all said, each portrait looks as though it could be in a magazine!
Susan just crushed it, plain and simple! From the first time we spoke to her it was clear that she was a pro. She knew exactly what needed to be done and the photos spoke for themselves. She reviewed/helped build our timeline, heard exactly which photos we wanted and created a day of shots based on that. She made the experience fun and all of our guests loved her! She was always available when needed for questions and was just overall a dream to work with. After the wedding, Susan mentioned we would get some “teasers” before the big bunch. We expected 5 or 6. Susan delivered 37 beautiful teasers that we are going crazy over. Can’t wait to see all of the photos! Can it recommend Susan more highly!!
Susan was an absolute dream to work with!! We did our engagement shoot with her first, less then a year before our wedding, and knew she was the one. She was so down to earth and easy going and did not make anything awkward at all (which most people think it will be)! We got a huge sneak peak within the week of our wedding and our gallery a month after!! We are so blown away when we saw our pictures, they are flawless. HIGHLY recommended Susan, she is amazing ❤️
Susan is an AMAZING photographer. I cannot put into words how happy I am with booking Susan. She answered all my questions from the very beginning and was the first vendor besides the venue that I booked. She helped make suggestions for my other vendors and wanted to ensure that I had everything I needed leading up to the wedding. We first met Susan at our engagement shoot and she made me and my husband feel so comfortable. The day of the wedding she ensured that everything went smoothly and that we had every picture that we wanted. I cannot recommenced her enough I promise you will not regret working with Susan!
I cannot express how thankful we are to have booked Susan for our wedding photos! From the very first phone call with Susan, she was so sweet and excited to get to know Michael and I. She got back to me a day after emailing her, and the second I got off the phone I knew we didn’t have to look any further for a photographer. She is a true professional and expert. Also, she traveled over 2 hours to our college to take our engagement photos, how amazing?! Susan helps you feel so comfortable in front of the camera, and has an eye for all the best spots to take AMAZING photos. Susan is someone who truly cares about her clients, and only provides the best work. If you are looking for a photographer where you will have absolutely 0 doubts about the outcome, I highly recommend Susan!!! My family and friends are absolutely blown away at our wedding pictures!
Right from the start, I knew that Susan was the perfect match to make my “wedding vision” become a reality. Throughout the entire wedding process, she was receptive and responsive to all my concerns and was able to guide me through things that I was unsure about. During our engagement photo session, she enabled us to feel comfortable in front of the camera, and her guidance was extremely useful when our big day came. The “wedding day timeline” that she created was very useful and really took all the guess-work out of the day for me. She had everything plotted out and I must say that all aspects of the day exceeded my expectations. Susan’s attention to details and finding the perfect lighting for her shots are exemplified in each and every one of her photos! I cannot say enough good things about Susan! We just received our photos from our wedding and every photo had its unique charm and beauty! She was truly able to capture the rustic essence of our venue and all the important details. Her stellar commitment and communication were top-of-the-line. We were given sneak peaks of photos the day after our wedding! It was amazing to be able to share these amazing photos with family and friends! We were SO EXCITED that we actually pulled the car over to look at them on the way to our mini-moon after receiving the text from Susan! I cannot tell you the amount of family and friends that have commented that these photos should be in a bridal magazine! The connection and comfort that we felt with Susan in conjunction with her impeccable eye for detail & capturing the real-life emotions made my wedding day a real-life fairy tale!
Susan was the first vendor we booked for our wedding (October 2018). She set the tone for the rest of our planning process & it was the best decision ever. Right off the bat, Susan made us feel very comfortable and understood exactly what we were looking for. She was easy to talk to and treated us like friends, not just another client. We first met Susan face-to-face at our engagement shoot. She and her husband were lovely and very easy to work with. Despite it being incredibly windy, Susan made the shoot extremely enjoyable. We had a great time and highly recommend it to anyone who is questioning whether or not they should add it to their package. It was the BEST way for us to get to know each other and for her to get a feel for what we were comfortable with... and the photos were amazing!
Leading up to the wedding, Susan was very proactive about confirming the shooting plan and timing with the other vendors. She was always available for questions and was easy to get a hold of. The week of, there was news that a Nor'easter would be passing through the weekend of our wedding (ugh). Susan called and reassured us that everything was going to be fine and worked out a back-up plan just in case. On the day of, Susan and her second shooter were very organized and easy to work with. Even though we had to shoot everything in one spot due to weather, she made the most of it (you'd never know it was storming by looking at the pics!). They worked seamlessly with the other vendors and made the hours leading up to the ceremony stress-free. During the reception, Susan and her team were complete professionals - they got every shot we could hope for and were respectful of giving us and our family space when needed. We never felt like we had to slow down our night for a picture.
All in all - WORK WITH SUSAN. She's a professional and I couldn't imagine the day without her! The photos were absolutely gorgeous and something we'll cherish forever! :)
From the instant we got off our first phone call with Susan, we knew we had found the PERFECT photographer. Her style matched exactly what we were looking for in our photos, and her demeanor was so calming I actually felt the stress of wedding planning melt away as I spoke with her! If you book with Susan, know you are getting the real deal! She is so organized and thinks of little things you otherwise wouldn't even consider, and she is always available to answer your questions and help along the way. On the day of the wedding, she knows exactly what needs to happen to get the perfect shots of your big day, and she never EVER makes you feel stressed or anxious... she keeps everything running on time (kudos to her amazing timeline creation) and most importantly, everything FUN! Susan made our day that much better, and we can never thank her enough for all of the beautiful pictures and memories she captured of us. Did I mention she turned ALL of our pictures (over 1300!!) around in 3 WEEKS?!?! Serious GIRL BOSS! 3 weeks is UNHEARD of -- I have friends who got married a month before me receive their photos 2 months after we did! If you are considering hiring Susan for your wedding, look no further and BOOK NOW! Believe me, she is 100% worth it and you will not regret it! THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING SUSAN!
Hiring Susan was one of the best decisions I made in the wedding planning process. I found her through looking at her photos on social media and reading reviews like this one – everything her couples rave about is true. She is AMAZING. Your photographer is one of the most important people you will hire. They are with you ALL day. As soon as we finished our engagement session with her (which I highly recommend doing), we knew we were in the best hands. She made us feel SO comfortable and her directions are specific that you can’t possibly mess up. She knows how to pose you in a way that looks natural and organic. When she tells you to point your toe, trust her and point it. She has this natural ability to know what translates well through her lens and what doesn’t. TRUST her! Her personality is upbeat, fun and she makes you feel so comfortable. You spend so much time taking photos. You want someone there who will keep the mood happy and fun and she does! I also need to mention her detail shots. Susan is just as good at capturing these and she is at photographing people. She magically makes your wedding day details you want to remember look like a styled shoot. Another thing I love about Susan is how organized she is. She has a system down and it works. She works with you to create a timeline so you don’t have to worry about the logistics of that day. I cannot emphasize how helpful that was. Susan LOVES her job and takes pride in her work and it shows through her beautiful photos. The hardest part will be choosing which photos to frame – she is THAT good.I feel like I can relive that day over and over because she managed to capture every special moment. We are forever grateful to Susan for capturing all the love and joy we felt that day! xo Ashley & Mike
I'm so glad we were able to book Susan for our engagement and wedding photos. Since I first saw her work I knew she was "the one". Her bright, dreamy photos were what I always wanted and she truly made my Pinterest boards come to life. She is also just a funny, down to earth, and friendly person who is radiating good vibes and made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. Even in the excruciating July heat and getting bug bites left and right, she pulled through our photo session and wedding night like it was no big deal and trust me, IT WAS. She's just the best and we are really lucky to have had the opportunity to work with her!
Susan is AWESOME! She's an amazing photographer and a total blast. The photos for our engagement session and wedding came out looking fantastic, and that's all because of Susan's excellence. Her style, her sense of detail and lighting, her willingness to do whatever it takes for a great shot -- she's a pro! She also made us feel so comfortable and made all of the photo sessions so fun. Our engagement session is one of our favorite wedding memories, and our wedding photos are even better than we imagined. We couldn't be more thrilled to have booked her for our wedding.
From the moment we met Susan we knew she was the right person to photograph our wedding and engagement pictures. We clicked instantly with her. Susan was more than just our photographer! Throughout the entire planning process she was there for us -- any time we had questions/doubt/panic, she always had an answer! She always goes above and beyond. Throughout each step of the process Susan managed to surprise us in the with the most thoughtful personal ways. She really is one of a kind!!
Anyone who has gone through the process of planning a wedding will tell you how stressful it is. When it came to our pictures we never had a doubt. Our engagement pictures were the most incredible pictures we had ever seen. She made our whole experience fun- made sure we were laughing the whole time and truly captured our love for each other. While we were initially nervous about the session - the second we got there Susan made everything just feel easy.
When our wedding day came we had a hundred different things going on. Susan was there every step of the way-- whether it was keeping us on schedule or coming up with new and creative shots to try out. The second she arrived there was an instant sense of relief!
She braved the cold and got us the most stunning wedding pictures that we will cherish for a lifetime.
It's one of the most important days of your life and you want to make sure you have the right person there capturing it. Choose Susan and don't think twice.
Susan was absolutely wonderful to work with. She is extremely knowledgeable and professional, and really guides you through the process every step of the way. She sends out questionnaires along the way to get to know her couples, and creates a timeline that is very helpful in planning the wedding day. She is extremely responsive to emails, and will give you advice on anything you ask for. We did both our engagement and wedding photos with her, and were so beyond happy with the results. During the sessions, she makes you feel very comfortable, and coaches you so that the poses look and feel natural, and makes the long photo sessions fun. She is so creative, and has so much experience that she really knows how to find the best locations and lighting to give you amazing photos. Her second shooter for our wedding day, Amber, was also absolutely wonderful to work with. All of our family and friends were so impressed with their professionalism and expertise. Susan is also very excellent at delivering photos as soon as she can. Our engagement photos were ready within days of our session. The morning after the wedding, I woke up and Susan had already posted 16 sneak peek wedding photos on my Facebook page so that we could see them before we went away for our honeymoon. We can't thank Susan enough for helping us feel at ease on our wedding day, and capturing all of the important moments. We highly recommend Susan!!! :)
Hiring Susan was the very first thing I did for our wedding. I didn’t even want to meet with any other photographers and I’m pretty sure I texted her on our way home from meeting for the first time and told her “we’re in!” There is something super unique about Susan in both her personality and photography. She makes you feel like a long-time friend in such a short time. She was more than an amazing photographer for us. She was a wedding planning, a décor expert and always there for any of my wedding planning meltdowns. I felt like I could ask her anything and valued every word of advice she gave me. Her photography is OUT OF THIS WORLD. Our engagement shoot was so fun, Susan made us feel super comfortable in front of the camera and my husband ended up being a real ham during the shoot! Our wedding day was amazing. She kept us on schedule, got every little detail shot I hoped for, and dealt with some bridal party shenanigans like a true professional. Susan has this amazing ability to make any picture, in any setting look beautiful. I can’t express enough how much I am in love with our photos, and how many compliments we have received from all of our family and friends on how amazing they look. I would plan a wedding every year if it meant Susan was there taking pictures. Do yourself a favor and book her ASAP if you’re looking for more of an experience with your photographer rather than a simple transaction. Thank you so much Susan! You are amazing!! <3
For a girl who had never envisioned getting married, much less know what she wanted her wedding to be like when the time came, Susan was a dream come true.
There are several things, big and small, that you'll see repeated in all the other reviews, which I can’t stress enough how true all those statements are, but I’ll try to capture some of the highlights that we remember the most:
- Her infectious bubbly, sassy personality. Susan has a way of making everyone feel at ease while being honest in her feedback, no matter the situation.
- Susan isn’t just your photographer; she’s also part cheerleader, decorator and event planner. She wants everything to go as smoothly as possible because it gives her more things to photograph and more time for her to photograph all those details & moments!
- She created a Facebook group for all her brides to ask questions, share ideas and look for items to buy & sell! She also sends out her own magazine of tips and tricks, how the couple can best prepare for the bid day.
- Her eye for finding things you never saw, and using them to create your favorite pictures! We walked into our engagement shoot and wedding with an idea of what we thought Susan would like. Susan walked around for 5 minutes and found backdrops and angles that we never saw and would become the backdrops of our favorite pictures!
- Timeliness. Susan knows how eager couples are to receive their pictures and she works hard to try and deliver them as fast as possible. We ended up receiving our engagement shoot pictures within 48s hrs, and she sent us our wedding pictures almost EXACTLY a month after our wedding date.
From the moment we met Susan, we knew she was the one and, even still, she exceeded all of our expectations. She sent the sweetest gift of champagne and other goodies to welcome us after we signed her on, and after our engagement shoot, she sent us a keepsake locket with a picture from the shoot too.
Susan just consistently went above and beyond to make us comfortable in front of the camera, kept in contact despite a 16 month engagement, was a joy to be around the day of and delivered photographs that I will forever call ‘the moments we peaked’. We had an incredible experience throughout the process and now have pictures that we’ll treasure forever. Thank you Susan!!!!
Booking Susan as our wedding photographer was easily the best decision we ever made. From the moment we first met with her, I know there was something special. Her personality was so vibrant, she was sassy, and had such talent as we sat in awe looking at all of her photos in her office. As we continued to get to know her through social media, occasional texts, and our engagement session, there was no doubt in our mind that we had picked the right person. Two days ago, our wedding day finally came! I sat in the morning watching my bridesmaids and family get ready. The silent nerves of the day began to set in. It wasn't until Susan showed up that it really hit me. She embraced me as if we had been lifelong friends and her excitement truly showed. She cares SO MUCH about her clients. She is the glue that holds the entire day together. There were moments when we inevitably ran off schedule or were running behind. Susan NEVER made me feel stressed or overwhelmed. She was flexible and patient. She was honest when we needed to move around some scheduled pictures and always had my best interest in mind. She was SO FUN and had us laughing the entire day! She has this calming vibe about her while still being hilarious and always willing to crack a joke with the bride and the groom. We trusted her judgment and even left our reception to get some final shots as the sun was setting. At this point, I wish we were getting married again just so we could hang out with her all day! Susan is a true professional and now someone that will be a lifelong friend to us. She is down-to-earth and stands in a league of her own in her profession. I even heard her say "we can find better lighting" several times while we were searching for the perfect spot with natural light to take our photos. This proves how much Susan cares about her passion. She will NEVER settle for anything less than the best.
Literally, 10 hours after our wedding had ended, she already sent me some teasers...one of them being the BEST PICTURE I COULD HAVE EVER DREAMED OF! While I would be honestly be happy with that one, single photo that captured our love...I know that there will be tons more than Susan sends our way. Booking Susan will be the best decision you ever make for your wedding. We love you Susan and are so thankful that you were part of the best day of our lives! We can't wait to see you this summer at some country concerts xoxo Love, Britt & William
I don't even know where to start with Susan. She was the photographer at my husbands cousins wedding and from the second I saw the pictures from wedding, (not to mention, I wasn't even engaged at the time!) I knew that when I did get engaged, she would be the photographer I chose. Shortly after that wedding, I got engaged. Before even booking a venue, actually 2 days after I got engaged, I contacted Susan. Not even minutes after contacting her, I had a response in my inbox and we immediately hit it off. I had no doubts about Susan even with only a few messages back and forth. She became my right hand in wedding planning. We would text back and forth about Pinterest pictures we found and she immediately became the inspiration for my pastel colored spring wedding. She took our engagement pictures in Branch Brook Park and I don't just love them, I adore them. Days after we got the prints back, we printed about 50 of them and she made that decision very hard. The pictures are absolutely stunning. So this leads us to our wedding day and let me tell you...my husband and I are blown away with the pictures. We fell in love with every single one. Susan posted a few pictures the next day after our wedding and I immediately became impatient for more. She had our blog the following day on Facebook and the pictures are flawless. I can sit here and talk about Susan all night. She isn't only an amazing photographer, but an amazing friend. I can't thank her enough for capturing the love between my husband and I. We love you!! YOU'RE THE BEST!
As soon as we met with Susan a year before our wedding and she offered us a beer and a smile in her awesome office, we knew we had found our wedding photographer.
Our engagement session was outside on a cold, rainy day and the photos not only came out amazing, but she had them back to us literally the next day. Her laugh and professionalism helped us ease our awkwardness in front of the camera.
At the wedding, (another rainy day!) Susan and her team let my husband & my personalities show and we cannot wait to see the final images. She got in a muddy river ditch to get an awesome shot of us, and I don't know many photographers who would do that! The quick views we got on the small screen of her camera throughout the night were amazing, so I can only imagine how good they will look full size. Her team had our entire bridal party cracking up the entire time.
She also provided us with a photobooth that people flocked to, and the props provided were a hit. There was a line for it almost all night.
Susan - thank you so much! We are so glad we had you as part of our day, and can't tell you how much we appreciate you!
Where do we even start?! We were referred to Susan by my cousin who also hired her and the Something Blue team for their wedding...From the moment we met Susan and saw her artistry we were completely sold! We didn't even look for another photographer! Aside from her easy going personality and all around awesomeness her photography skills are ON POINT!!! We were recently married on 9.9.16 and Susan and her team made sure it was a day we will never forget! She and her staff were professional but FUN and made the process and day that much easier! It was a hot day and she made sure to "get that shot" no matter what it took! She and her team made us laugh and really enjoy each and every step! To add to the already incredible experience, only a few days later some of our pics were ready and posted to a blog all about our wedding...and let me just say they are some of THE MOST BEAUTIFUL pictures ever! Family and friends CAN NOT stop talking about them! We are BEYOND happy we chose Something Blue Photography and cannot wait to use Susan again for the next big life event!! Nothing but LOVE, LOVE, LOVE for her!!
Susan and Jae were great to work with! Susan answered all emails and text messages quickly and help to stop those last minute jitters. Their positive energy matched perfectly with our crazy and wonderful bridal party. Susan truly knows how to work with angles and lighting, and she held her camera inches above water on a moving dock to get the perfect shot. Also, her price is amazing for her quality of work. I would highly recommend Something Blue!
When my husband Pat and I first started wedding planning the first requirement that I had was that Susan would be our photographer! I had met Susan when I worked with a DJ company and we worked a wedding together. Her commitment, creativity and bubbly personality stood out in my mind and I knew that one day I would be asking her to photograph my wedding.
Forward to about 6 years later... our wedding pictures have exceeded what I would have hope for them to be 6 years ago. Susan did an amazing job capturing all of the details of our special day. I am very grateful to have had her as our photographer because she went above and beyond to make sure that Pat and I were happy, comfortable and having a good time. Not only is she extremely talented but a BLAST to be around! She definitely did everything possible to give us our dream wedding and pictures. Her assistant Josh was also amazing and extremely talented! Their creativity and professionalism together resulted in BEAUTIFUL pictures that we will cherish forever! I have never looked at a picture of myself and been please! THANK YOU SUSAN.... we can't thank you enough for EVERYTHING that you did to make our day perfect and the pictures that we will use to remember it by forever amazing! We are so happy with our sneak peak shots and cannot wait to see the rest of them!
Susan is an AMAZING photographer! The BEST! When we first met Susan we knew immediately that we had to have her shoot our wedding!! Pictures were the number one most important thing to us when it came to our wedding so we knew we had to have the best. Her work is amazing. She will do whatever it takes to get that "PERFECT" shot! Thank goodness for her because she captured what we missed and what we forgot since the day was such a whirlwind. Thank you so much Susan! You've preserved memories that we'll now be able to cherish forever.
Susan and I went to school together. We shared multiple classes through the years and I knew she was destined for greatness. When she started Something Blue Wedding Photography and began sharing the pictures, I instantly became a fan. I hoped she would be available to shoot our wedding. She was the first vendor that we booked and her availability weighed heavily on our choice of a wedding date! On our wedding day, we had such a great time. The moments and memories that she captured in the photos are truly amazing. Susan really does fantastic work and we couldn't be happier with our choice in booking with Something Blue. Thank you SO much!!! Mike and Stephanie Picardi
Susan is my new best friend. She was professional, fun, yet gets the job done. She was a blast to work with. Her vision is beautiful!! I LOVE her and her work.
