Suzanne did a friend of mine's wedding, and her proofs brought tears to my eyes. Then, when we saw her portfolio in her studio, it brough tears to my eyes AND my husband's! She is an artist trained in photography, and not some "weekend warrior" with a point and shoot camera. Her work is phenomenal.
She is worth every penny, and was even more expensive than our honeymoon, but I don't regret it one bit. Everyone I know who scrimped on the photog. regretted it. I was MOH in June and when you look at my MOH's (she was mine, I was hers) pictures compared to mine, it's heartbreaking how bad it was for her. She caught some of the most amazing moments I could ever imagine. She had an assistant there the whole time too to make sure she didn't miss a thing.
To be blunt, we clashed big-time when we first met. We're both Alpha Females, though different in personality type. Had I not seen my friend's photos, I may have been hesitant about booking with her. But once we did our engagement photo sitting, I warmed up to her a lot, and vice-versa. When she's in action, you can see how she is instantly opening her up to the feeling between you two, so she can capture it. They were amazing - it's harder than you think to capture love and trust in a photo, and she does it with ease (or at least makes it LOOk easy!). She is expensive, but worth every single last penny.
We were just there last week picking up the digital originals, and hugged warmly. It just took us getting past that first part, and I would now consider her a friend. But the pictures.. I can't even tell you how lucky we were. They were amazing.
I booked her 3 months before my reception!!!
It was about 2K for the day (extra hour in there I think)
we're planning on buying some really high-quality albums
and we also purchased all of the digital originals.
her packages are actually comparable to other local vendors, but we bought extra.
