Suzanne Karp Photography

Suzanne was the BEST! She was a joy to work with and the pictures demonstrated why she is so gifted at what she does. Our guests loved her, we loved her and her pictures perfectly captured the candid, precious moments of our special day. We would recommend her to anyone who is lucky enough to work with her.

Suzanne and her frequent videographer Sean Pettis did a great job at our wedding, capturing the intimacy and energy of our event. Imagery was wonderful, and some are outstanding as stand alone images outside a wedding album. Highly recommended.

Suzanne’s efforts on our wedding day truly blew us away. We are so grateful for her incredible work behind the camera! We received a sneak peek within days and our gallery shortly following. Beyond that, her ability to make us and our family comfortable in front of the camera was priceless - that’s a hard thing to do! Her support by helping hold phones, grabbing the florals, coordinating who needs to be where and when, helpful tips on dress readjustments, how to pose, timing, and vibrant energy from the moment she walked in made the entire experience even more special. She was the most essential part of our celebration. The photos created lasting memories we will cherish forever.

Suzanne was the most incredible photographer we could have ever imagined. From the moment we spoke on the first call I knew I had found the right photographer for our wedding. She made a point of understanding us as a couple so that she could capture our day as it truly was- magical and perfect. She is also just so intuitive with the camera and so efficient- she’s able to capture the most incredible photos in such a short span of time- she just knows where to be, what to say, how to position herself and us- she’s a master of her craft. Also, on the day of, she really acted as a calming and centering energy. She makes a point of really understanding her brides as people- she just knew the exact right thing to say, and honestly, helped to protect my sanity on my wedding day. I am struggling to find the words to capture what a wonderful presence she was on my wedding day. Even my guests commented on how lovely she is. When I got my wedding photos I was totally blown away. The photos were absolutely stunning. The colors were vivid, she captured all the details- I have no idea how or when, but she really caught all of the most magical moments of our wedding. It was the most beautiful set of photos I've ever seen. I had no idea how to chose for our album. Weddings are a moment in personal history. It's a moment where your families and your loved ones come together to celebrate your union. Suzanne understands that. For her it's about the people, capturing the day as it is, in all of its beauty and magic. Every time I go back to the photos, I get to relive the most wonderful day of my life again and again. I have Suzanne to thank for that because she truly captured every aspect of our day so beautifully and perfectly. I didn't know a photographer could be as incredible as she is. She’s amazing. The photos were incredible, the day was perfect, and thanks to her I can revisit the magic over and over again.

I never thought I'd say this about any of our vendors, but I genuinely can't imagine our wedding day without Suzanne. She's truly the warmest, most authentically caring, AND crazily talented person we had the pleasure of working with on our special day. She became our friend as well as an incredible talent behind the lens. Go Suzanne!

Where do I even begin! From the first conversation on the phone, to the day I received my wedding album Suzanne has impressed us with her talent, her ability to ease our nerves, her professionalism and her personality! There are simply not enough words I can use to describe how amazing she is. Suzanne really helped us make this entire process easy and calmed our nerves along the way. She made sure we looked our best and made us so relaxed in front of the camera! She is extremely talented at what she does and went above and beyond our expectations. If you are looking for the absolute best experience for you special day, look no further!

Suzanne was the most amazing photographer for our wedding in 2022. Every time we mentioned her name to another vendor, they sung her praises that we were in great hands with her. Suzanne made sure we felt comfortable throughout the day and was easy to interact with. We are not the type of people who love to pose or have every worked with a photographer, so the process was new to us. We were able to celebrate with our friends and family and not be stuck taking photos for hours, and all the photos that came back captured all the highlights of the day and more! We recommend Suzanne for any of your photography needs!

Suzanne is an absolute freaking dream - a wedding photographer who makes us laugh and is somehow also down to earth, so incredibly chill, loving, intuitive, warm, and just naturally knows how to get those beautiful shots. Her attention to detail made me feel like I was actually a guest at our wedding when viewing the photos later (because we didn't get to 'walk in' as guests do); it was really special to see the whole thing, big and small, our friends and families' faces and reactions...we will use Suzanne for literally any photo-worthy event she'll let us hire her for until the end of time. We love you, Suzanne!

Suzanne has been so wonderful to work with! She’s so warm and friendly and you immediately feel comfortable with her. She’s also an incredibly skilled photographer and knows how to make posing for photos fun, efficient and helps keep energy levels high so the photos really reflect the joy of the day. It’s like watching a master at work! She did both our engagement and wedding photos and we definitely see more sessions with Suzanne in our future. Suzanne, thank you for capturing such special moments in our lives!

Just book her! You will not regret it. She felt like one of the family. When we met her, we instantly fell in love with her. My wife hates having her picture taken and yet Suzanne put her at ease. Even the family photos were a breeze. That is no easy feat with a lot of Italian and Indian family. Her photos were amazing and she captured the spirit of our wedding perfectly. To top it all off, we had previews of our photos before we left for our honeymoon only a few days later! Suzanne is just perfect.

I have had the pleasure of knowing Suzanne for 5 years. She shot both my sisters’ weddings, and not only captured the beauty and joy of those days, but celebrated with us like a member of the family. She cares so much about the people she photographs and so obviously loves witnessing these special moments. My husband and I were so excited to work with Suzanne that we reached out to her as soon as we had our venue and date secured. Suzanne first did our engagement photos which gave us a chance to feel comfortable in front of the camera; she told us “just do your thing” and she captured us laughing and cuddling and being completely us! Our wedding day was so wonderful, and we felt totally at ease. Suzanne gave us little direction, and just had us “do our thing”. We laughed and cried with her all day long, and our photos are amazing!! If only we could relive all the magic from that day!

My husband and I were very lucky to get to work with Suzanne for our wedding at Tyge William Cellars in Sonoma, CA on May 12, 2018. She truly did an amazing job on our engagement pictures, rehearsal dinner, and wedding. We loved working with her because she makes everything so easy. Our friends, family, vendors, and everyone loved how smoothly she made taking all of our pictures. She captures all of the pictures you could dream of and more. We are so in love with all of the pictures she took. Everyone has complimented on what great pictures we have. We highly recommend Suzanne for your photographer, you will not be disappointed. Thanks, Mr. and Mrs. Ibarra

Suzanne was the best decision we made for our wedding day. I can not praise her enough. She has a heart of gold, and obviously is so passionate about her job. Her calm yet focused demeanor put everyone at ease, especially myself who was a super nervous bride. she captured every shot I wanted, without me having to do a thing! I will recommend Suzanne over and over again to every bride, because the photographer is a crucial decision and a huge part of your wedding day. Suzanne nailed it!!!

Suzanne was absolutely amazing to work with! As soon as we talked to her over the phone – we knew we had our photographer. She is calm, easy going and really fun to work with. My husband and I both feel uncomfortable in front of the camera and Suzanne instantly put us at ease. She gives you just enough (friendly) direction and has great ideas without being overbearing. Our pictures turned out flawless – very natural and romantic. She was able to capture the atmosphere so well that when we look back at our pictures, we are instantly transported back to our wedding day. Suzanne is also great at understanding space, light and natural surroundings. She was able to get some really great shots of the vineyards, trees, sky and wedding space as well as really great candid photos of family and friends. Moreover – she is fast without sacrificing quality. We (and our families) were so impressed with her ability to get the right shot quickly while doing group family pictures. The best part about Suzanne is her personality – she’s incredibly warm, calm and funny. She is able to put everyone at ease – making photos turn out natural. Every wedding guest who encountered Suzanne not only commented on how good she was at capturing moments but how friendly and warm she was. Suzanne is so talented – we cannot say enough nice things about our experience with her!

Suzanne is phenomenal! We looked at 3-4 photographers and knew Suzanne was the one we wanted from the start. She is professional, friendly and charming. On the day of she was focused and attentive but also made all of us feel comfortable and left plenty of room for laughter. Our photos are fantastic, we've got a great mix of whimsical, romantic and the formal. We are thrilled to have worked with Suzanne!!

Not enough stars available for Suzanne - she was so thorough, responsive, supportive, and fun from the moment we met her. She shoots so quickly, so no hours on end of staged photos. She hid in the shrubs and told my husband just where to stand so she had the best light! We loved every minute of working with her and I'm not exaggerating when I say her photos bring tears to our eyes. Images are so personal and intimate feeling, we could not have asked for more. We will be using Suzanne in the future for family photos!

Suzanne is the best wedding photographer that I could have asked for. The photos that she captured are beautiful and show the day as I experienced it. She also made me and my husband feel comfortable in front of the camera (even though we usually are not). Suzanne captured these gorgeous shots while not intruding on our day. Our guests barely noticed that we were missing for pictures, and we got to spend most of our time enjoying the event. I've had so many friends ask about my photographer because you can really tell that Suzanne has a gift by viewing her work. Even better, she is a joy to work with and lets you focus on your day. I highly recommend Suzanne Karp Photography.

There is no way I could have chosen a better photographer than Suzanne. I am really nervous in front of a camera but wanted both an affordable and high quality wedding photographer (a needle in a haystack in wine country!). And yet, I found Suzanne. She is the warmest, easiest person to be around and from the moment we spoke on the phone I knew she was The One. She put us completely at ease and made us smile and laugh through our engagement photos and through the stress of our wedding day. In fact, her experience and great suggestions helped us plan a more efficient timeline for the wedding day itself and helped us minimize the post-ceremony photos so we could enjoy more of our reception with our friends and family. Our photos came out stunningly, and I think Suzanne's most notable gift is her ability to capture candid moments that showcased our guests' personalities and their relationships with us and each other. I look forward to working with Suzanne in the future and am forever grateful that we chose her to photograph our wedding!

When I first met with Suzanne she explained her style as laid back and unobtrusive and she was completely accurate. She managed to capture the most beautiful and memboral moments of the day, without causing disruption. She acknowledged that my husband and I wanted to celebrate with our guests and provided us with amble opportunities to do so, but again captured every moment.

Suzanne is a fantastic person and great to work with. She was very good at working with the children at the wedding and getting them to pose for pictures. She is also a great photographer with a good eye for fun pictures. If I had it all to do over again, I would have met with Suzanne prior to the wedding to work through all the pictures we wanted for the day.

Truly an amazing photographer. She was patient with our family (who do not take direction very well) and got awesome shots in a relatively short amount of time. My family thought she was a friend because she cried while photographing our first dance! I can't say enough great things about her.
