About

Susan Sancomb Photography is located in the heart of South County, RI close to URI and the scenic south coast beaches. I grew up here and feel so lucky to be able to work and create in such a beautiful location! My approach to wedding photography is much like my approach to life; creative, relaxed, natural and fun. I would describe my style as a blend of candid/photojournalistic with traditional/artistic images. My assistant and I strive to make clients feel at ease throughout their day, capturing all the big moments and little details unobtrusively, and helping the day flow naturally...and hoping you have fun and enjoy the process. If you are planning a wedding in Rhode Island (or anywhere in New England - we are ready to grab our cameras and go!), we'd love to hear from you to discuss the details of your wedding and how we can help create the visual memories of your day!

Working with Susan was one of the best parts of our wedding. From the initial planning to the day itself, Susan's professionalism and calming presence always put me at ease. Our wedding pictures turned out better than I could have ever imagined. It was the perfect mix of formal portraits and candid pictures showcasing a beautiful fall day in New England. I'm still getting emails from family and friends gushing over our wedding pictures, and I know I will cherish the special moments Susan captured for years to come.

Susan did a fantastic job for our daughter's wedding. She was energetic yet calm. As you see from her website and blog, she is a seasoned professional and I would recommend her to anyone. As the Mother of the Bride, you just have to put your faith in your vendors on the wedding day and Susan Sancomb Photography certainly delivered.

It was a pleasure working with Susan for our wedding photography. She was very flexible for us to stay within our budget and capturing the images that we had requested. Since our wedding took place at a private home, she was able to visit prior to the wedding day to walk the property and gather ideas for best locations. We were very happy with the result of our photographs, and receive compliments on them regularly!

Our photos were absolutely perfect!! The entire night was captured so beautifully, we couldn't ask for a better collection of memories! We had a very large wedding and somehow Susan managed to capture everyone there; even guests that we weren't able to spend a lot of time with.

Susan Sancomb is an absolute pleasure to work with and is such a talented photographer! We found Susan through a recommendation and we set up an introductory call with her. Although we thought we might only talk with her for 15 or 20 minutes, 45 minutes later we were hanging up and saying to each other that we wanted Susan to photograph our wedding. Her personality is completely down to earth and friendly. Plus, she has so much experience shooting engagement sessions and weddings. We felt really confident that she would be able to make us feel at ease and that we could trust her to capture some amazing moments.

Susan shot our engagement pictures and our wedding pictures and they came out amazing - we couldn't be happier with them. She made sure that we let her know the style of photos we like and kept that in mind when taking our pictures. Susan was completely open to our opinions and preferences while also sharing her own insights and seeing what we thought. The pictures she takes are BEAUTIFUL. Not some of them, all of them. Even the candid pictures, sunsets, private moments, and amazing scenery are magnified through her pictures. Her photos capture the excitement and love of our wedding day perfectly and we enjoy reliving the day through her pictures. She works with talented partners (if you want multiple photographers) who match her personality and style has well.

Outside of how talented and personable she is, we feel like Susan's strengths lie in her ability to understand her clients! She was extremely flexible in working with us after our wedding to make sure we got our pictures in time for the holidays, even though she had a busy schedule for that time of year. It was a joy working with Susan and getting to know her and we will miss talking with her! Find her at susansancombphotgraphy.com

We absolutely loved working with Susan as our wedding photographer! From the beginning Susan was both very responsive and flexible to our needs for the day. We initially chose Susan based on her stunning portfolio but quickly realized she had so much more to offer - from intimate knowledge of our venues (South Ferry Church and The Towers) and where to get the best photos to just making us feel at ease in front of the camera. She captured the day perfectly and we will certainly cherish these photos for the rest of our lives.

We booked Susan last summer for our 2016 wedding over Memorial Day weekend, and couldn't be happier! I struggled selecting a photographer initially because everyone's packages and price points seemed so different and unique, I wanted to make sure I was selecting the best option, considering value, personality, and quality of work. But upon finding Susan's work online, I knew that we needed to book her (if she was available for our date, which thankfully she was!) because the quality of her work was so beautiful. After discussing her rates and process via a phone consultation, she sent us a link to a couple of private wedding albums from previous clients, one of which was from a wedding she shot at our venue. We also booked an engagement session with her last summer, which was fabulous and I would highly recommend doing before your big day! Some of our favorite shots from the engagement session are in locations that Susan pinpointed on the spot, suggesting that it would make a great shot, and they did! On the night of the wedding when her time was up, she found me on the dancefloor and let me know and we ended up booking her and her assistant Michelle (also great!) for an extra an hour for more candid dance shots. She was so flexible and we greatly appreciated her staying on longer than originally planned! She's already provided a 'sneak peak' of photos from our wedding that we used for our Thank You cards, which are gorgeous! We can't wait to see the rest!! Being a local RI based photographer in South County, she books up fast especially for the summer and fall weddings, so be sure to reach out far in advance of your desired date! We look forward to using Susan for our future photography needs!

Susan is absolutely fabulous. She was our photographer for our August 2015 Block Island wedding, and I can't rave enough about her. Our pictures turned out so perfect, and she completely captured our day. She was wonderful to work with, and made my husband and I so comfortable. She's such a genuinely nice person. We aren't the most photogenic couple, and somehow she made us look great! From start to finish she captured our day, and I can't believe we have such incredible pictures to look back on! Anyone considering Susan please know your pictures will come out dreamy!! <3
