A True Fairytale Wedding Photographer
If you’re searching for a wedding photographer who can both take high-quality photos and tell your wedding day story in a beautifully creative light, Susan needs to be your first choice! Not only does she capture stunning photos, but she is also THE nicest vendor you will ever work with. She makes every effort to sit down and get to know you so that she captures your vision to a tee. And the end product is proof of that, from the gallery to the prints to the full-blown album! I was lucky enough to have Susan follow our wedding story from engagement photos to bridal shower to our wedding day, and each session was a masterpiece. If I could give Susan 5 stars I would! Consider your wedding photography fully taken care of by booking Susan, she needs to be at the top of your list!

Their communication style is always incredibly thorough, helpful, and collaborative throughout the entire process. The quality of their work is truly stunning - they have a beautiful, storytelling style that captures the essence of a couples special day in a creative and artistic way. Susan and her team were extremely detail-oriented, with an eye for capturing just the right angle to bring each shot to another level. We are always thrilled with the beautiful photos that perfectly preserve the memories of our couples and their wedding day.
