I cannot say enough positive, appreciative and incredible things about Blackburn Portrait Design. Susan Blackburn made our Wedding day absolutely perfect from start to finish. From the very moment I contacted her about our wedding date, she was not only incredibly accomodating, she was very professional, charismatic, confident and extremely friendly. I felt as though I had already known her for years the first day that we met. I never had a doubt that she genuinely put her heart and soul into every piece of the process from her portfolios, the contract process, our meetings to review details and venues and above all else into making our wedding photographs spectacular. She entertained every idea I had and took all of my suggestions and requests above and beyond what I ever could have imagined was possible. The day of our wedding, she arrived at our venue right on time and with a huge smile. She not only made myself and everyone else involved feel comfortable and relaxed but she also knew how to lead us to just have fun and get some great candid shots in addition to the gorgeous, magazine quality posed photographs. Her eye for the perfect photograph with every single shot still amazes me. She works with such efficiency, grace and professionalism and always strives for nothing less than perfection. I do not consider myself a very photogenic person and when I voiced these concerns, she assured me that I should not be worried. I have never been able to say that I like every single picture of myself from an event until now. And when it's your wedding day, you want your photos to look beautiful. Trust me when I say that you will absolutely love every single picture. Susan was with us from the time we got ready through the majority of our reception and even stayed a little extra time to get some last photos for us. She took over 1,000 pictures and I am in love with every single one, no exceptions. She truly does capture feelings, emotions and people's hearts and personalities in her pictures. It's not just faces, it's the love between the bride and groom, the joyous celebration of the guests, the happiness all around and the life-changing emotions when two people become one that are captured in her photographs. I never thought a picture could be so moving. I wish I could get married again just so I could work with Susan another time! I could never begin to thank her enough for everything she did for us. I know beyond any doubt that had I used any other photographer that I would have been sorely disappointed because they would have fallen short of Susan's work. I promise you will be incredibly pleased with your experience with Blackburn Portrait Design, your photographs and especially with the amazing photographer, professional and friend that Susan Blackburn proved herself to be over and over again. Thank you so much for everything Susan!

I don't even know where to begin! The moment we saw her work at a wedding show we knew instantly that we wanted her as our photographer. We set up an appointment with her and she was wonderful! Her personality is great, I felt like I knew her for years! She made us feel so comfortable and important. Once we looked at her work in more detail we were amazed. Not only was her work gorgeous and so creative but we could see the time, effort, and perfection she put into every single picture. After how meeting with Susan, Kyle and I went out to lunch to talk about all the photographers we had seen so far and it was a no brainer...we signed our contract and brought it to her the same day! We were beyond excited and we could tell Susan was too...made us feel special. When Kyle and I were getting our engagement photos done we had a little bit of a twist...we wanted our dog (our son) in a few of the photos. Susan loved this and had so much fun with it. She took a challenge and rocked it! She knew exactly how and where we should stand for each photo. Her personality really showed that day; she made us laugh and have fun while taking all the photos. It was a blast...just a taste of what was about to come for our wedding day. Needless to say we showed off those engagement photos to EVERYONE and they all were amazed of the quality. She was fast and efficient too, 2 weeks later we had our photos. A couple weeks before our wedding, we met with Susan to talk about everything that will be going on that day, times, etc. All three of us were excited. When the day had arrived Susan was on time, ready to go, dressed to impress, and prepared and ready to go! The day went perfect in every way. Susan is a perfectionist and truly cares about her work. She assisted in our perfect day. Kyle and I not only have an amazing photographer that we will use for every occasion but we made a friend as well. Susan is an amazing photographer who loves what she does. She will do anything and everything to get the perfect shot. Thank you so much Susan!
