Susan Hennessey Photography

responsive and quick with her work. My photo preview is STUNNING. I couldn't be happier! I appreciate that she sent the photo preview very quickly! The full wedding gallery was phenomenal. Her product is top notch, and her pricing is excellent! I'm looking forward to working with her again in the future!

was so responsive via email and text (closer to the day). She created a super detailed timeline of the planned pictures, which we used as a starting point for our master timeline. 
 We had a quick call for a vibe check prior to booking (spoiler: she passed), and because we didn’t do an engagement shoot, the first time we met her was actually on our wedding day. While she offered to have a quick call before the wedding, we didn’t feel like it was necessary because of all the wonderful communication she provided leading up to it. We were totally right because she was so kind (to everyone, not just us) and moved the day along without making us feel rushed and was able to accommodate several location changes. She gave great directions and put us at ease, which is saying a lot for two people who are camera shy. I could go on for a long time, but I will note three important things: 1) She starts 2.5 hours before the first look and then doesn’t leave until after three full hours of your reception (the clock starts after cocktail hour); this means she was on the clock for over 12 hours with us because we had a late reception start time (7 pm); for many photographers we looked at, this was out of the question. 2) You can use a credit card for booking with her without a weird card fee, which is rare these days. 3) We took portraits at a skinny park with a fountain and had a large wedding party so we were discussing ways to fit everyone into the shots, and Susan said, “Honestly, I don’t mind taking my shoes off and standing in the water to shoot if allowed.” Come wedding day, she had a little towel ready to go in case she had to jump in the fountain. How cool is that? If you want someone to make your life easier during wedding planning by being organized, communicative and supportive who also happens to take GREAT, natural and bright pictures, you’ve found your photographer!

he made everyone in the bridal party feel so comfortable. We are beyond happy with how our photos turned out & we can’t wait to reminisce of this day many years down the road!

leading up to the big day, and working with her was truly one of the smoothest parts of the entire event. She’s detail-oriented, personable, and all around such a joy to be around. We were so thankful to have her & could not be more pleased with how everything turned out!

made our whole expierence so easy from start to finish. Our timeline did not slip and she delivered the photos on time both for engagement and wedding. Susan and her team were simply the best!

Her photos were exactly what we were looking for - bright, airy, romantic. And she did NOT disappoint. From our initial meeting for our engagement photos to our actual wedding day, Susan was professional, friendly, and so kind. She made sure to get all of the best shots and her photos were SO good that we are actually struggling to pick which ones we want to frame and put in our home because we want to pick all of them. These photos are something we will treasure forever and I can't thank Susan enough for providing us with these absolute dream pictures. If you are looking for a wedding photographer, look no further. Book with Susan!

and wedding photo shoot. The pictures came out beautiful and natural, and really captured our love for each other. She was the best and we 100% recommend Susan!!

d beyond she was truly the best of the best and my favorite vendor I have ever worked with. Her professionalism, kindness, and ability to make us feel comfortable in front of the camera were absolute game changers. She helped plan our day-of timeline, kept things moving and on time, and delivered photos that were absolutely stunning. To put it simply, she is fantastic and you should definitely hire her to be your photographer!!

re gorgeous and we are grateful for the friendship we have found.

elcoming and made us feel totally comfortable. Our rainy engagement shoot was fun and the pictures were great. When our wedding rolled around we were so excited and had a great time with her and her second shooter, Abbey. Our pictures are perfection and we love sharing them with family and friends. They will be some of our most cherished memories forever and we feel as though we made a forever friend in Susan. You definitely won’t go wrong by choosing her for your special day!

et all of the shots that I wanted! She really understood what I wanted for my pictures! I absolutely love all of them! I literally cannot picture my favorite picture because I love them all! All of my pictures are such high quality and so bright and so happy! Exactly what I wanted! Thank you Susan!

She is incredibly sweet, easygoing, calm, and kind which made working with her so easy. She was also super organized and was able to get everything done on time. The bridal party also all loved her! Our pictures came out beautiful and we will cherish them for years to come. I know I will 100% use her again and would recommend her to any brides out there! - Dani and Nate 6/17/23

so we wanted a photographer who would capture the entirety of our wedding day in photos. Susan perfectly captured all of the important moments of the day, and more! Flipping through our album feels like we are right back in the moment. During our engagement session, Susan helped us feel comfortable in front of the lens and delivered so many amazing photos that we feel perfectly capture our personalities. Leading up to the wedding, Susan became so much more than just a photographer. She helped put together a timeline for photos, gave us suggestions on when and where to plan certain parts of the day, helped put together a shot list, and took time to ask about our preferences, the bridal party, and our families to ensure she was properly prepared for the wedding day. The day of, Susan and her second shooter, Kriste, were a pleasure to work with. They both showed up early and jumped right in. Susan helped keep us, our bridal party, and our families calm whenever things had the potential to become chaotic. Susan has this magical way of directing people and keeping them on task without offending anyone. Through the ceremony, portraits, and reception, Susan was able to capture all of the photos on our shot list while keeping us on schedule. Susan will also pose you perfectly, fix your train, and keep you smiling throughout the day. After the wedding, Susan was quick to deliver a blog post with sneak peak photos. Our family loved the uniqueness of a blog post capturing the wedding day details. Our full digital album was delivered shortly after. Susan also put together beautiful album layouts that perfectly captured the day. The quality of the printed albums we received is great! Susan Hennessey Photography is true professionalism in every sense of the word. We highly recommend Susan and her team for all couples.

that has all the information on it. At that moment I realized she would be great to work with and I am so happy with my decision! Susan was very organized and responsive throughout the planning process. The day of, she showed up early to do all my details shots before I arrived at the venue after my tea ceremony. She paid attention to all the details and kept me on track with the time throughout the day since there were so many things going on. Susan made the family formal go so seamlessly and seriously the best photographer out there to have on your big day. She watched the crowd and adjusted her work accordingly. We received our sneak peak blog post less than a week after our wedding day and we are head over heels in love with the photos. The photos captured the day so perfectly that we felt like we could relive our wedding date through them. All of our family members, bridal party, guests, and friends love them! Some even say the photos look like "they came straight from a wedding magazine." Thank you so much for capturing the most beautiful moments of our wedding day.

ze! One of the things that impressed me most was her ability to command a large crowd without ruining the fun-energy or vibe. We had a very large wedding party (22) and a very complicated family dynamic but Susan was able to navigate all with ease. We were able to get every shot and combination that we wanted and still enjoy ourselves! Your photographer is someone that is with you for all the important moments of your wedding so it's really important to choose someone that not only takes great photos, but that you're comfortable with. This is definitely Susan! Now, for the photos... oh my god... people are STILL talking about how stunning our wedding photos are. We have yet to print any because we are having such a hard time narrowing it down! They are all so stunning. We can't thank Susan enough for all her hard work. Definitely book Susan - she is a pro!

e her 1000 times over

ng and of course the wedding day of run flawlessly. My parents are divorced and both are remarried so I had a really long list of family portraits to take the day of and Susan made all of that and more happen so fast and the pictures came out amazing. She is incredibly organized, and made sure all of our requests and requested pictures happened, as well as making sure we were enjoying our day! Susan went above and beyond for my husband and I all day and even after the wedding! My sister and her boyfriend broke up after our wedding and her ex was in all of our family pictures and Susan was able to send our pictures to a colleague of hers and they were able to photoshop him out! You could never tell he was ever there to begin with! All of our pictures came out so beautiful!! My husband sang to me during our reception and he forgot to mention that to Susan. Without even asking her, she saw he was getting ready to sing and stayed a little past the time she was supposed to leave to capture that incredible moment for us. A friend of ours recommended Susan to us after they used her for their wedding and I recommend her to everyone looking for a photographer!

e had trouble choosing which prints to hang in our house (so far we have 6). She gets to know you and your partner as a couple and loves your input regarding the photographs, settings, and overall look that you want for your wedding photos. Truly the best experience!

d celebrated with us when the rain stopped and the clouds cleared. She captured the absolute best moments at our wedding. I am not a photogenic person, yet Susan made me look amazing! I was drawn to her because of the lighting in all of her photos. Outdoor photography can be tricky, especially on the beach. Susan and her team did an AMAZING job. The pictures came out flawless. They are all truly breathtaking. We love Susan!!! Thank you for everything!!!

ay to make sure we can see things we weren’t directly a part of. I would highly recommend Susan to anyone who needs photography services and hope to work with her for anything else we need photographed!

t like pictures feel so comfortable and we will never be able to thank her enough for the pictures that we will cherish forever!

milestone, but helping to make sure your day goes smoothly. Susan was a dream to work with from the start. We did a phone consultation to discuss our venue and ideas for our wedding photos and I knew it would be a perfect fit. She blew us away with the fact that she created our day of wedding timeline for us. This took a lot of stress off of us to coordinate when everyone needed to be ready, what we should bring with us, and where everyone needed to be at what time. I cannot stress enough how much it helped to have her there to help direct the day! I would be remiss if I didn't mention how amazing her work is. Our photos are absolutely stunning! And she was able to give us a ton of preview shots in less than a week to relive our day before the entire gallery was ready. We will definitely be using her again in the future for other photography opportunities!

have annoying family members? Are they selfish and overbearing? Do they care more about their own day than you having the ceremony and pictures you’ve always dreamed of? Then Susan is the photographer for you! Susan worked so hard on my wedding day, when I had no one else to advocate for me to make sure I had what I wanted. After a heartbreaking postponement, all I wanted was a ceremony on the beach. Susan could see that I was becoming upset after family member after family member paraded through the bridal suite during air and makeup to tell me I couldn’t do the ceremony outside (Italian Aunts AMI right). Susan jumped right in to tell them to stop and let me have the day I dreamed of. I seriously couldn’t have held it together without her. We knew the weather changes so quickly in Avalon, and she helped me make a perfect plan with our coordinator. We checked the radar between our photos, and guess what, after a 10-minute sprinkle between pictures, we got the most beautiful beach ceremony and even better pictures. Susan is so kind, easy to work with, and the best advocate for whatever you need and want that day. I would book her 100x over and will absolutely use her again.

ade me and my husband feel completely at ease taking all of our wedding and engagement photos! She was so thoughtful with her questions and questionnaire to ensure she fully captured every moment. She is also so responsive to email! I highly recommend working with Susan and we really can't thank her enough for capturing every moment of our big day!

for photographers I loved how upfront she was about packages and how she took the lead in helping us figure out how to make our day run. On our first phone call, she had already looked up the sunset time for our date and gave me a quick sample timeline right then and there - she has everything so organized and incredibly put together. She was so on top of everything from the day we booked until the day she delivered our gallery. Our engagement shoot was rescheduled 2 times due to COVID and she was so flexible in rescheduling and took such stunning photos. She redid my timeline and shot list a dozen times with me as things were changing in the weeks leading up to the wedding and was so patient. I have a huge family with divorced parents, step families, and half-siblings, so our family portraits were a little lengthy and complicated, and she worked through them seamlessly and we finished 20 minutes AHEAD of schedule, even fitting in some bonus shots that weren’t on our initial shot list. My hair/makeup ran 45 minutes late and my flowers were delivered AN HOUR late, both of which could have completely derailed our photo timeline, but Susan rolled with the punches, kept me calm and made everything work without missing a beat or a single photo. If you want a photographer that will listen to your every request, works well with type A brides, will help coordinate your day down to every detail, and be someone you know you can rely on to make the day run smoothly - Susan is your girl!! Our photos are so so beautiful, she captured the perfect balance of candids and posed photos, and delivered them ahead of schedule both digitally and on a USB. We are so grateful we found Susan and had the opportunity to work with her. Your photos are the only thing that lasts once your magical wedding day has come and gone, so I personally felt like choosing a photographer was the most important element of our planning process, and Susan proved me right in showing how invaluable she was to us as a couple and our whole team of vendors. We couldn't be happier with our photos or our experience, and I recommend Susan to any couple or family who is looking to capture beautiful memories, and do so alongside someone who is professional, positive, kind, and makes you feel comfortable every step of the way! We can't wait to work with Susan again on any future family photos we take!

ed us electronic forms that made it so easy & convenient to fill out. She asked every possible question - our story, vendors, photo requests. Susan takes beautiful, bright photos. Her photos are very natural and she does a wonderful job of capturing the moment. She surprised us with a sneak peak article on her blog post. She wrote about our love story & added so many beautiful photos. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

y way. Not only is she SO kind and fun, but she is also extremely detail-oriented and devoted. She made sure everything went smoothly and that our bridal party was comfortable. We cannot say how thankful we are to have had such an amazing photographer on our big day. XOXO

and downs she was so patient, easy to get in touch with and her photos are just exactly what I’ve always imagined. Every session and communication we had with Susan was fun and painless for two people that are far from photogenic. The second photographer on our wedding day, Josh was so nice and helped our grooms party immensely during the getting ready process. I am so thankful for susan and her team being a part of our day and thanks to her we can look back on it for every day to come!

otographer was the silver lining to our COVID postponed wedding!

ly new to the professional photos scene but Susan made us feel comfortable and at ease, and the photos turned out gorgeous! Susan also photographed our wedding day and we couldn’t be happier. From the moment she arrived on the wedding day, she was calm and relaxed which made me feel calm and relaxed. She helped us stick to the timeline that was created, but we never felt rushed or overwhelmed. It helped the day go smoothly. By the end of the wedding day she felt like an additional wedding party member and I was genuinely sad to see her go. Susan captured so many sincere, happy, beautiful moments and the pictures really helped us to relive our day. She also posts the photos on her blog and on social media, including personal statements and our love story. This made it so much fun to wait for the photos and get these little sneak peaks. Susan is flexible, kind, and smart with her poses and photo choices. She really has a way of making you feel comfortable, relaxed, and happy, and this really shows in the photos. Everything turned out great and her photos are a perfect representation of our fabulous day. We will absolutely be using Susan for our photography needs going forward!

the rest of our planning and coordination with other vendors. She was extremely supportive and responsive during the planning period, and especially with so many changes that occurred during COVID restrictions. On the day of the wedding, Susan put all of us at ease and made sure we had so much fun during each stage of the day. She made sure we stuck to our timeline, but also maintained a fun and cheerful attitude while taking portraits. Our bridal party portraits and couple session were so much fun! Susan also provides an extremely personal touch by putting together your preview photos with a blog post that tells your story. When I shared ours with family and friends, they were so impressed by the level of detail and care that went into the post - like nothing they'd ever seen before! The photos themselves are absolutely gorgeous. We received ours about 2 months after our wedding and have not stopped looking at them! We loved working with Susan so much that my sister has already booked her for her wedding next September!

mfortable & kept us laughing and smiling all day & night!!! Susan never pressured us to take pictures we didn’t want to and made sure she captured all of the photos we had asked of her to do. Susan was always quick to respond to any questions we had and checked in on us periodically to ensure everything would run smooth on our wedding day. If you are thinking about booking Susan to photograph your special day, you will NOT be disappointed!!!!! Thank you to Susan and her team for capturing our special day and allowing us to have beautiful memories for the rest of our lives!!!!

she was so welcoming, flexible, and accommodating to our unique circumstances. We knew right away that she was who we wanted to work with. We had a micro-wedding in LBI on the shore, and it truly was a dream come true. She made everyone feel comfortable and was extremely professional. She created a beautifully detailed blog page for us to share just a few weeks after our wedding which included personal details about our love story. She also sent us a decorative box with our final flash drive and photo frame with pictures already printed. We would love to work with Susan in the future for maternity and family shoots! Her work is phenomenal!

e and is the last to walk out behind you. She documents and captures the most beautiful images in their truest form. Susan is very easy going and very friendly, she just fits right in! Definitely recommending her to anyone looking to capture their special events, big or small! Loved our experience and loved our product/service!

photos and our wedding day. We love the natural lighting and posing of her photographs. Susan was always quick to reply, very friendly, and very accommodating when our plans changed due to the pandemic. We have so many amazing wedding photos and engagement photos and it is so hard to choose our favorites! Thank you Susan!!

easy, and we were so fortunate to have her expertise leading up to and during our wedding. She works with you before the day to create a timeline, and has a form to fill out for your shot list to help you make sure you're not missing anyone. It was raining all day, but she worked with us to capture great pictures and you can't even tell it was raining! We're so happy to have hired her for our microwedding, and would recommend her for weddings of any size.

ople and a bit too goofy for serious photos but she was able to capture really genuine moments that turned out amazing. I am so happy with how the pictures turned out and she even sent us a cute little box with the USB of all the photos. She seemed to actually care about us as a couple and it showed during our photo session. I could not recommend her enough! Thank you Susan!!

. Our guests had great things to say as well. Our pictures are perfect and I am so glad she was able to capture the day perfectly. I highly recommend Susan!

g intrusive. From beginning to end, she documented our special day with ease and talent. The quality of her photos are outstanding and she envisioned all of the important moments and photographed them beautifully! If this were not enough, she personalized an album and flash drive without additional cost. She also posted a blog with highlighted photos within a week of wedding that we were able to share with our family and friends. She is truly talented! We will use her for our reception without question! THANK YOU SUSAN FOR MAKING OUR SPECIAL DAY ALL THE MORE SPECIAL!

o only was she so supportive but she basically planned my whole microwedding for me at no extra cost. Her work was amazing, she somehow got my husband to enjoy the pictures even though he normally hates doing that sort of thing. I can not say one bad thing about her I am SO THANKFUL for everything she did and how AMAZING all the pictures turned out!

ruly lovely person who is committed to helping you have the best experience possible. From the beginning, Susan was a joy to work with. My husband and I planned a semi destination wedding in Moorestown, NJ and we are from the NYC area. Susan was so accommodating in setting up Skype meetings and helping us figure out logistical details. Her attention to detail helped us schedule the day to a T and she helped the day run so smoothly. While we chose to have only Susan and not a second shooter at the wedding, This was not a deterrent. Susan had two different cameras attached to her and the shutter never stopped clicking. Her sneak peek pictures that she sent to us about a week after our wedding were truly amazing and we are dying to see the rest of them! We had a cold winter day for our wedding but still tried to march through and do as many pictures outside as possible. Susan was awesome in getting the shots and then literally gave me the coat off her back once we got inside to help me warm up because I was shivering! I could go on and on about how wonderful she is, but just look at her work and let it speak for itself. You won’t be disappointed in choosing Susan for your day! I promise. I can’t wait to contact her again in the future for any of our other photography needs!

detail and commitment towards capturing our day was amazing. Our photos came out better than our expectations! Susan we can't thank you enough for your quick response times and true professionalism. If we ever need a photographer again we will only have one number to call. Thank you for being a part of our journey!!!!!

n was so helpful in planning the timeline for the entire day. On the day of she kept everything running on time and helped alleviate much of the stress. When we received our wedding photos back I could not have imagined that they would be as beautiful as they were. We love all of them and are so happy to have these wonderful memories to share with our family and friends for years to come! Thank you Susan for making our wedding day so memorable!

ank you basket, thanking us for choosing her as our photographer. We thought that was just the nicest thing ever! Throughout the year leading up to the wedding Susan never lost touch with us. As the wedding day approached we chatted back and forth about which shots we wanted photographed and a timeline for the day. I still can’t get over how on time everything really was! Susan made the picture process completely stress free. Susan is a true professional and a master at her craft! I am so thankful we chose Susan as we now have beautiful photos to relive our day forever!
