I photograph weddings for those who will love the photographs of their favourite people "just being people", as much as their newlywed portraits. For those who want to be present, have the deep conversations and not be pulled out of the day they're there to live.
It lives in the space between the timeslots. The moments you never planned for. You have to leave room to breathe within the schedule.
Because when you're immersed in the day, the photographs become about so much more than appearances.
And my goshhhh they're richer for it.
What I'm getting at is:
the good stuff rarely happens on cue.
Your wedding day can pass remarkably quickly when every moment is scheduled, managed and documented. Don't get me wrong, a relaxed, easy-going day rarely happens without structure - which is why we work on one, together.
But this is the make or break for whether you come away with a nice, safe record of your day, or a gallery that reflects all the nuances, the quirks, the memories.
"Susie, I don't even know what to say. Our photos take our breaths away. You captured our day exactly the way we'd hoped to remember it. You are one of the most talented, beautiful souls I have ever met and it was a privilege to have you photograph this most special day of ours.
We will forever remember your warmth and light, and the absolute ease and authenticity you fostered for us and for everyone who crossed your lens.
You pour your heart and soul into your craft and I know that finding that overlapping sweet spot between our vision and your eye is a big part of what makes your work stand out from everyone else's.
Soooo many oooohs and aahhhs and heart melting moments that you captured so lovingly, carefully and exquisitely."

"We couldn't have asked for a better photographer than Susie. From the very beginning, she was warm, thoughtful, and incredibly kind. She has such a gifted eye for detail and emotion.
As someone who's quite camera shy, I was a little nervous about being photographed. But Susie was so considerate, and she understood that completely and made me feel at ease. Her presence was gentle and calming, and at times I even forgot she was there. Yet somehow, she managed to catch every special moment.
Susie is not only talented, she's also a genuinely lovely person to be around. We feel so lucky to have had her with us on such an important day. Her photos are something we will cherish forever."

"If I could give 5 million stars, I would.
Working with Susie was truly one of the best decisions we made. From our very first online meeting, we felt so supported and cared for. She was consistently reliable, every sneak peek, every document, always delivered right when she said it would be.
Susie took the time to listen to what we envisioned, something cinematic, a little fantasy-inspired, and meaningful.
She suggested breathtaking locations for our shoot and made sure everything reflected our story. During the photoshoot, she made us feel completely comfortable, no awkward moments, just a joyful, relaxed day that we genuinely enjoyed.
These photos are forever, and every time we look at them, we'll remember not only our magical elopement but also the warmth and talent Susie brought to the day. We'll always think back on that experience, and on Susie, with a huge smile."
