Your search for your wedding photographer is over - hire Susannah! She is kind, easy to work with, professional, communicative, and a true artist.
We can't say enough good things...
about her, but here's a start:
- Her photos are works of art. Susannah has an incredible eye for capturing the spirit of every part of the wedding day: the meaningful ceremonial moments, the love of the parents, the deep bonds between the siblings, the spontaneous moments on the dance floor. Everyone raved about how beautiful and special Susannah's photos are, and we couldn't have been happier. She also made everyone look their best and most flattering!
- We had some specific preferences. Susannah understood us from the beginning, didn't push us at all, and honored our preferences the day-of. We're so grateful to Susannah for making sure we felt comfortable and understood.
- She's a warm, kind, sweet presence who made everyone feel at-ease. Our parents loved her as much as we did, and to this day (months after the wedding), they still talk about how kind she was (not to mention how brilliant her photos are.)
Thank you for being the wedding photographer of our dreams, Susannah!
I am so happy we went with Susannah for our photographer during covid! She is so cheery, positive, professional, and funny. She was super flexible about moving the time around a fe...
w weeks before the wedding, and had great advice on how to structure the wedding and ensured everything moved smoothly. Susannah was responsive via text and email, and worked tirelessly to ensure we were happy with each step of the way, from the intro zoom call, to the contract, to the final photo touch-ups.
The photos could not be more gorgeous. All of my guests for my small wedding remarked on how sweet she was and loved her photos. She even captured multiple angles of the ceremony instead of just straight on, which was very important to me.
She even suggested that we jump into the pool at the end of the day, which resulted in my favorite shot from the entire wedding!
I'm very budget conscious. I could not have asked for such high quality photos from any other photographer in my price range; believe me, I looked.
Thanks Susannah, for making my wedding day so stress-free and memorable!
My husband is from Richmond Indiana, so his mom knew about Susanna's work, when she first showed to me I was sold! Then I met Susanna and she was very professional and flexible and...
really listened to what we liked in terms of photographs. I am very selective with the type of pictures I like and she listened to every detail. She did our engagement session and just with that it blew my expectations. It was a great way to get to know each other better. The day of the wedding she was there early and I really appreciate she took extra efforts capture great moments like my exit from the hotel. Our wedding pictures are a dream and I had such a hard time choosing my favorites because Susanna did a tremendous job of capturing everything beautifully, and really had patience with me and all of the edits I requested. Thank you so much Susanna for perfectly capturing our special and magical day. These images will be treasure for a lifetime.
Susannah and Greg are not only amazing photographers, but wonderful people that we consider friends after our wedding experience together.
New York's loss is the Bay Area's gain...
- we were so happy to randomly find Susannah when she first moved out here. She did our engagement shoot, our pre-wedding event, and our wedding, which was in Carmel Valley. Both Susannah and Greg have knacks for taking awesome candid and artistic shots, which really came through in the photos we received.
To show you how much they care, both still check on us during our birthdays and anniversaries - that's how far their true care for their clients goes.
We had a wonderful experience working with Susannah. She was easy to work with, and her photos are exactly what we wanted. We were from out of town, but it was still easy to get to...
know her and communicate with her through email and phone. We scheduled an engagement photo session, where we first met her. She made us feel comfortable with her friendly, easy-going, and engaging personality. We received samples of the engagement photos early so we could use them for our invitation. The wedding day went smoothly and we barely noticed that she was there. She worked efficiently through our group photos with large families and friends. Susannah and Greg are a great team, and it was a pleasure to work with them.
We were thrilled to have Susannah and Greg photograph our wedding. Susannah was wonderful to work with during our engagement shoot. Not only did we get incredible pictures, but w...
e also had a lot of fun. Susannah and Greg were also great for our wedding. The pictures were absolutely amazing. Other than the formals (which they got through very quickly!), we wanted most of our pictures to be candid. Susannah and Greg did a great job capturing all of our moments, while also be very discrete. We hardly noticed they were there, but they captured everything! After the wedding, it was only a few days before we got a sneak peak of some of our pictures. Susannah also put together an amazing blog to tell the story of our wedding day. We're so happy to have all of these wonderful photos and that Susannah and Greg were so easy to work with for our special day!
Susannah captured our wedding from a point of view I didn't even know was possible! Her photographs were stunning. Each one better than the other. AND, I didn't even know she wa...
s there. Susannah's personality shines like her artwork. She truly understands the bride, art of a wedding schedule and seamlessly becomes part of the day. Not only did she get all the standard "important" family shots you need but also captured every laugh, tender moment shared between my husband and me, funny things that happened in between and never felt intrusive.
She was easy to work with, communicated clearly and delivered above and beyond!!! I will use Susannah Gill for every big life moment!!!!!
Where do I begin... Susannah has an amazing eye for the world and brings out the joy in every moment not only through her photography, but her personality as well. I cannot be more...
thankful to have found someone who is not just your wedding photographer but an artist that captures the subtle emotions in any moment. She listens to your initial story and thoughtfully suggests ways to deal with the multitude of moments you want to capture; in my case I wanted Susannah to do her thing and be my lens into moments of my guests that I would not be able to observe on my wedding day. Like a journalist she captured all the love and joy that was present that day. I still have guests complimenting our wedding photography from all over the globe.
I am truly, from the bottom of my heart endorsing Susannah as your wedding photographer. She will showcase your special moment with grace and with an eye to highlight the best qualities of every detail you painstakingly planned for the big day!
We got married at Seascape Beach Resort earlier this month and Susannah was a blast to work with. She's very attentive to the couple and wants to make sure you get the pictures yo...
u want. She was very easy to work with via email and phone conversations before the wedding and even met me on site the day before to get an idea of the scenery that was most important to me. Your wedding day can be very stressful and Susannah does a good job of keeping it light-hearted and fun and makes sure that the photo shoot runs smoothly. Her work is beautiful and really captures the mood and scenery on the big day. I wanted pictures at the edge of the bluff and Susannah was even willing to help me jump a fence to get the shots. I highly recommend her, especially if you want photographer that is willing to give you more than the typical overdone wedding photos. Her pricing was very reasonable and she was willing to work with me to create a package that fit within my budget. I can't say enough good things.
I was so blown away by Susannah's photography of my friend's wedding last year that when I got engaged, I knew I wanted her as my photographer as well.
Not only are my husband,...
I, and both of our families thrilled with our wedding photos, but we are so grateful for the PRESENCE of Susannah and her assistant. Our wedding day had some unexpected hiccups and natural disasters. Susannah and her assistant went above and beyond their role with the camera to add a sense of fun, playfulness, and calm to the entire day. She really has a way of putting people at ease.
Since then, I have hired Susannah as the official photographer for my business, and she has photographed several more events for me. In addition, she has become a good friend!
Susannah is prompt, efficient, thorough, fun, and incredibly talented. I recommend her highly!
First of all, it should be mentioned that Susannah has done not one, not two, but three weddings of some of my closest friends, so I already had the pleasure of seeing her and her ...
partner-in-crime (her husband Greg) in action on multiple occasions, and the result of their amazing (and consistently gorgeous) work. So it was really a no-brainer when it came to choosing her as our wedding photographer for our June 2015 wedding in Mill Valley.
From the get-go she was easy to work with: great communication, willing to answer my (MANY) questions, and worked with us to set up a great game-plan and wedding package, which included engagement and day-of wedding photos.
Susannah is a big ball of energy, and yet has a calm nature about her. My husband and I aren't big on getting our photo taken, and often feel awkward in front of the camera -- but she made us feel comfortable, and even made the process enjoyable! Truly a pleasure to work with.
As far as our photos go--they were gorgeous, and her turnaround time is very fast. She sends a sneak peak of photos not long after your wedding, which is a lot of fun to look at when you are still on that post-wedding high. Of course, everything she produced was lovely. We were married up in the redwoods and she even scoped out the most beautiful and unique backdrops in advance for our photos. She has a very photojournalist style about her, which is what we absolutely wanted and loved. We really feel like her photos captured the essence of our day--all of the details, the emotions, the scenery. And yet, we barely noticed her in action... a real pro!
She is worth every penny, and I would highly recommend Susannah and Greg to any couple looking for a top-notch photographer. We hope to someday work with her again as our newly-formed family grows!
Susannah was a fantastic wedding photographer. She was very respectful-- we didn't even notice she was around us snapping away and we love the photos she took. They definitely te...
ll a story of our amazing day. Each time we look at them we are brought back to the moments and feelings, which were so lovely. She is very lighthearted and easy to work with and followed our every request. She partners beautifully. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone to use.
My husband and I were recently married in Half Moon Bay. We planned our wedding from NYC and could only do so because of amazing people like Susannah and her husband, Gill. Susanna...
h took extra measures to make sure she knew our wedding site perfectly and explored the area around our venue to find the best locations for pictures. She knew the area better than we did.
The first thing you will notice when speaking with Susannah is her attention to detail. For our engagement shoots and all our wedding pics, Susannah was the reason our wedding timeline worked out so perfectly. She knows how to capture an appropriate diversity of scenery, the sunlight, the sunset, indoors. and so quickly and perfectly! Susannah was at some point in a perfect situp position on our reception floor to get some awesome shots. And then went up to the roof to get an even crazier view! Just amazing!
When planning a wedding from close or afar, it's most important to trust your vendors. Susannah gained our trust quickly. Not only because she has photographed several of my old highschool classmates' weddings, but because she is SO responsive. Every email gets a thoughtful response.
We've already seen several sneak peak pictures (she emailed us the DAY AFTER our wedding - SO FAST!) and we are so so happy. The landscape, the detail - it's just so perfectly captured. Indian weddings are full of color and this is represented so well in the photographs.
I can't write a review of Susannah without complimenting her incredibly sweet, helpful husband, Greg. The two work together seamlessly. And it's so lovely to see a married couple working so well together on the day you get married - an inspiration at the least =)
And their son is really darn cute too!
We LOVED working with Susannah. I would recommend her to anyone getting married, including my family. If we ever need formal photographs in the future, she is the one.
Susannah came highly recommend by my sister in law who is also a photographer so that was a huge plus and also how we got in touch with her. We weren't able to meet her in person i...
nitially since we live in San Diego but let me just say, talking to her for the first time is like talking to an old friend. She is down to earth, full of energy and so charismatic. One of the things I really loved about her was that she was willing to create a customized photo package for us since we had already had our engagement photos done by my sister in law. Susannah kept in touch with us the months going into our wedding and let us know what to expect. She asked to know which family members and friends were important to us as well as a list of photos we wanted to have taken with our family and bridal party. On the day of our wedding, she was perfect. She worked with a 2nd photographer so while Susannah focused on us, he was able to capture the reactions and emotions of everyone else. She was able to tell our story through her photos and we were able to re-live all the details of our special day. It's amazing how much we missed because the day flew by so quickly but Susannah had all of it in her photos, every moment of laughter, tears, love and emotion. She orchestrated beautiful photos with amazing lighting of us and remembered to take photos of our grandparents and friends and everyone who was there to celebrate. Susannah took care of everything the day of the wedding and directed everyone so that our family and bridal party photos were organized quickly and they could enjoy cocktail hour. I would highly recommend her, you would be so lucky to have her capture your special day. She was so fun to work with, she was like family and we can't thank her enough for capturing every moment of our special day so that we could remember every detail.
Susannah is an awesome photographer. She did such a great job of explaining and executing the vision that both my wife and I wanted. She is very easy to get along with and all the ...
photos that we have seen turned out fantastic! I would highly recommend Susannah to others looking for a Photographer for the big day.
I think we won the lottery finding Susannah Gill to photograph our wedding! My hope is that everyone can be as satisfied with their photographer as we were with Susannah. Susannah ...
is professional, meticulous, thorough, creative, and patient. She took the time to visit the wedding venue on her own because she had never been there before. She was proactive in identifying good places for pictures, as well as helping with the timeline of our big day. We had a huge bridal party and Susannah was organized and assertive. My confidence in Susannah’s capabilities was so reassuring on my wedding day. On top of her awesome personality, she captured the most incredible pictures! She even sent us a sneak peek the day after our wedding. We received hundreds of edited pictures a few weeks after the wedding, which is an impressive task. Susannah did not miss a moment and captured the love and energy that was present at our wedding. I HIGHLY recommend Susannah Gill for your wedding – it will be the best decision you make!
Susannah and her husband Greg were more than perfect! My husband and I flew from Florida to California to elope this past Summer. Not knowing the town we were visiting or anybody w...
ho lived there, I yelp and Pinterest reviewed all of my vendors and wedding professionals. I stumbled upon Susannah through Pinterest where she had photographed some gorgeous wedding photos of a couple in the same location that I was hoping to have mine taken. After a lovely chat on the phone, I decided she was the one I wanted. Ironically enough, the photo that I found on Pinterest was of her good friend, Kim Guiley, who just so happen to be a makeup artist. She shared her contact info with me and I couldn't be happier that she did because Kim made me look and feel so beautiful on my big day! Susannah served not just as a photographer, but also as my own personal travel agent. Besides all the things she did above and beyond her job, most importantly, she took the most remarkable, breath taking pictures of my special day. We had talked back and forth through email prior to my arrival and she made sure to make me feel comfortable even though we were not going to be able to meet before our wedding. I gave her the reigns to plan our pictures and take us anywhere within Nisnee Marks, as she knew the land and I had not a clue what I was going to experience. She had mentioned that she wanted to take us to a shallow body of water within the forest and I told her that we were in. I'm so glad I did, because they were some of the best shots from the shoot! This being said, every picture that she took was perfection! Her husband Greg (the mule) carried her equipment and my odds and ends all around our trek of the land. This was no easy feat, but he was a true gentleman and good sport. I would recommend Susannah and Greg to anyone, anywhere. She added so much extra happiness to our elopement, I couldn't possibly thank her enough!
I am "over the moon" happy with my wedding photos from Susannah Gill - Photographic Storytelling. She has an amazing eye for detail and captured so many memories for us to treasure...
for years to come. Susannah is a great listener and really understood what I wanted in our photos while bringing along her creative style and professionalism. She gave us so many wonderful photos to choose from - all of them were great. Couldn't have been happier and I highly recommend her to other brides who are looking for a wedding photographer.
I heard about Photographic Storytelling from a friend. I read the blog that they had from there wedding and absolutely fell in love. Even before I was engaged I knew I wanted to us...
e this photographer. I was nervous that Susannah would not be able to photograph our wedding because she had moved to the west coast and we were on the east coast. Fortunately Susannah was going to be in the New York area around the time of my wedding.
Susannah was a joy to talk to over the phone. It was a little unsettling to finalize everything via email or phone and not face to face. However Susannah made everything very organized and easy to follow. We did not meet face to face until our engagement photo session but because we had converse so many times prior I felt like I had known her for years. She made us feel so comfortable.
Susannah made the engagement session fun and the day of the wedding it never felt like work taking photos with her.
The product was even more spectacular! We love every single photo that was shot. Making picking out photos for our album very difficult!
I highly recommend this photographer. She knows how to capture the day and her storytelling skills are amazing.
Aside from the multiple coincidences that made Susannah meant to be at our wedding (like living across town from her in California when we're both from the east coast and that's wh...
ere I got her name!), Susannah is beyond wonderful. She was a great coach when needed and amazing at finding the right angles with lighting. Super fun personality too! We love the pictures that we have seen so far and can't wait to see the full album. Pick her for a picture book happy ending!
Susannah and her husband did a great job photographing my wedding! They scoped out photo spots beforehand to make sure that we'd get the best possible pics and use our time wisely...
. Susannah did a great job capturing all of the wonderful elements of the wedding in an artistic way.
