Suzi is so amazing! She is truly interested in you, your spouse and your story. She takes her time to get to know you and to make sure that your engagement and wedding photos are unique to you guys. If you are a person that appreciates the details that go into your wedding and you want a photographer that will captures them, Suzi is your girl!
There are not enough words to describe how thankful we are to have had Suzi share our special day!! Our wedding photos are fun and exciting! She is talented beyond belief! My only problem is having so many photos I don't know which ones to frame. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! Love, Carla
Suzi and Terrence were/are the most perfect people to work with for our wedding! My husband and I were referred to We Are A Story by a friend who had used the company for their wedding and we had heard nothing but wonderful things about them. When we met with them, we knew instantly that we wanted them to capture our special day! They are down to earth, funny, compassionate, and easy going individuals. They kept in contact with us throughout our wedding planning process, asked us what we wanted while offering their own suggestions, even came to our rehearsal to meet our family and become familiar with them, and delivered the most wonderful photographs and video from our wedding. We couldn't have asked for better people to work with. They made this part of our wedding so easy! We got nothing but the best from them!! Did I mention, Suzi was up on a ladder taking photographs at our wedding and she had only given birth a few weeks prior!?! Whenever we get the chance, we show off our wedding album (that Suzi designed) and wedding video (that Terrence spent so much time editing)! We are so lucky to have found them!! You see, when you hire We Are A Story, you not only get the best of photography and videography, but they become apart of your family!!! A big thank you to Suzi and Terrence! We love you both!
I happened to find Terrence by coincidence one day while browsing, of all places, wedding reviews online. I narrowed the selection down to two companies pretty quickly based upon the reviews and style of work. From there I sent information requests to both companies via their online websites. Terrence impressed me from the very start, responding within hours of submitting the request versus almost a week for the other. As I viewed the online presentation Terrence sent me, I quickly realized that his work was truly something special. He has a completely different approach to wedding videos than most "cookie-cutter" enterprises that are out there. In my mind there was no comparison, his work just has that something extra about it.
I live full time in Washington DC and my wife and I were planning an out-of-state wedding. Living in DC tends to make you extra critical and overly harsh on everything and everyone you meet. Even after interacting with Terrence through this “skewed” vision, I was still very impressed. First of all, he does exactly what he tells you that he is going to do and delivers on schedule. Second, even more important, he is completely honest even if the answer is not what you want to hear. Within the first e-mail correspondence with Terrence I felt completely at ease with him and I knew that I had found my videographer.
The package that my wife and I selected included an engagement interview session that will be put on the final DVD product. Living in DC limited the times that we could meet with Terrence; and the only time that would work ended up being the day after Christmas. While most people would want to stay at home with their two little children the day after Christmas, Terrence and Suzi suggested locations to meet and ended up spending about two hours with us to get the right shot. I mean what can I say, they are constantly working to make sure you are pleased with your end result.
The day of the wedding, I barely even noticed Terrence and Suzi filming away. While some of the shots seem unnatural, especially when you are holding a kiss for a much longer time than usual, rest assured they come out on camera as completely natural.
Now here is the really exciting part, a few weeks after the wedding Terrence posts a “teaser trailer” on his blog from your wedding. This is a wonderful treat and I think my wife and I have watched it maybe 20 times within the first 24 hours of seeing it. After viewing the teaser I can honestly say that I was blown away. My expectations were exceeded and this is hard to do. Terrence and his wife, Suzi, are an absolute pleasure to work with. If you are looking for a unique look for your wedding video, Terrence is the way to go!
Oh my gosh, where do I begin?...I knew from our first e-mail with each other that this was going to be an experience of a lifetime and a day that Craig and I would remember forever. Suzi is the best! Talented, creative, friendly...she just has a different way of seeing things and captured the real "us." To say that we are happy with our photos is an understatement - we love them! We planned our photo day together over several emails. We are both super busy people, and, for me, I really appreciated being able to do everything with Suzi right over the internet. Each email was so warm and loving. It was like writing to my best friend. Suzi was always responsive and offered her suggestions for timing and places to take our photos. She was extremely flexible with scheduling and locations. Every time we look at our photos, we want to get married again...and have Suzi capture more gorgeous images for us. She is not the norm; she is what all wedding photographers should strive to be - UNIQUE! She knows her lighting and has the ability to make you feel comfortable while being photographed. Having Suzi photograph our wedding was one less thing to worry about. We love her and we love our photos!
Wow, what can I say? Suzi is such a wonderful and relaxed person who really made us feel comfortable, even though we were in front of so many people! We had such an enjoyable time together with her, and I believe the day was more fun and full of love just because she was there with us! I can't imagine any other person I would have rather had there with us taking our photos. It simply would not have been the same wedding day without her there!
Suzi brought joy to the day and made the day flow so smoothly. I really appreciated her spending so much time on the phone with us going over the day's events ahead of time and putting together a well thought-out timeline that really let us know what to expect and how to best prepare for the wedding day. I loved the little tips she included in there that I would have never even thought of.
And when we received the pictures a few weeks later, we were blown away! We love the beautiful but still natural look of the photos. We still have no idea how Suzi managed to take so many amazing shots during the course of the day - we are usually not very photogenic, but we are just speechless with how effortless and natural the photos all look, all while exuding such emotion.
A huge thank you to Suzi and her team for making our wedding day such a beautiful memory!

Let me first start of by saying the only thing you have left after the wedding to remind you of your special day is your photos and video. That's why it was so important for me to only go with the best!!! Words can't express the gratitude and sincerity I have towards Suzi and her company. Suzi made sure to capture all of my memories of my special day. She's easy to get along with, and you don't even notices she's there snapping away. I'm very happy and pleased with all of my pictures. There isn't a single picture I disliked!! Being in the wedding industry for over twelve years I've seen the work of many photographers, and she definitely exceeds over all of them. I knew I was going to go with her as my photography even before I was engaged. She definitely went over and beyond of what I expected of her. I would definitely recommend her all to all brides!
My goodness.....this company is absolutely AWESOME!!! Choosing We Are A Story to do my photography was one of the best decisions of the entire wedding planning process. Pictures are extremely important and you only have one chance to get it right, so I had very high expectations and they did not disappoint one bit! First, I always received a prompt, courteous, professional, and honest responses whenever I contacted them, and they were never hesitant to answer any questions or concerns I had. They showed up on time and began snapping pictures right away....capturing EVERY DETAIL. They mingled wonderfully with our family and friends and were very accommodating with requests to get specific pictures taken. I have nothing but accolades to give to this company, and they have made me a lifetime client!
Brides, take my advice and don't gamble with the most important pictures of your life! We Are A Story will make your photography dreams come true. I couldn't be happier!
OMG!!! If I was with you right now, I would squeeze you so tight and then put you in my pocket and take you everywhere with me! I got teary eyed when I saw the photos. I felt like I was back there all over again. Andrew even said you captured how he felt in that moment in a photo, and let's be honest, Andrew isn't all that mushy or in touch with his "feelings". I absolutely love you to pieces!!!
We have already decided that every year on our anniversary we will be making a trip out to see you and have our photos done.
I'm so excited! I can't wait to see do our family photos!!!
Love always, your most enthusiastic, We Are A Story "groupie"

We Are A Story is the BEST bar none! I was lucky enough to stumble across their website whilst looking for wedding dresses, and I was so impressed with Suzi's pictures I emailed and booked immediately! Suzi's work is contemporary, edgy, romantic and fun. Everyone that has seen our pictures have been completely blown away - they are pictures I will cherish forever! If you want pictures that are beautiful and want to work with someone easy and fabulous - look no further! Suzi from We Are A Story is the only way to go! I only wish I had a reason to book Suzi every year...vow renewal...maybe? xxx
We hired Suzi and Terrence to tell our story, and putting into words everything they did for us just doesn't even seem like it would begin to describe our gratitude towards them. I first off want to just mention how kind they both are. They always made us feel at ease about everything, from the first consultation, to the follow-up talks over the phone and through emails, they always just seemed right there when I needed them to answer any questions. The day of the wedding was truly more special just because they were there, and we knew we were in such good hands with both of them. We never felt any stress the day of the wedding, and they both had us laughing and feeling so good about the day. I truly don't believe the day would have been as special if they both weren't there. All of our family and friends kept mentioning to us through the day that we had such a nice team of people capturing our day. That made us feel even more confident! When we actually received our photos and video, we were simply floored!! We had already set the bar pretty high considering how highly they came recommended - but they went above and beyond our highest expectations. We truly can't recommend them enough! We Are A Story - we love you guys, and you have made us believers that WE ARE A STORY TOO! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
