Capturing Every Moment

My wedding day would not have been the same without Sue! She did a very in-depth planning process and we identified that I wanted my photos to capture the day's joy, and oh did they! Every image is stunning and she did a fantastic job herding my crazy family into stunning portraits while also capturing everyone's personality! I adore all the shots of people laughing and having fun and at the same time I was left speechless by the gorgeous posed shots that captured so much amazing detail from our venue. I got my photos back while on a weekend girls trip and everyone was physically screaming each time I swiped to a new picture! Sue takes so much time and care to get to know you to capture your relationship perfectly. When I look at the photos of my husband and I, they perfectly capture moments I will cherish forever. There are drama shots, romantic moments, goofy laughs, and they all feel completely true to our relationship. Her team was amazing and there was always someone nearby to "get the shot!", and my guests told me they felt like celebrities! Communication was a breeze and our photos came back much earlier than I was expecting. I truly couldn't recommend her more, she was such a special part of my day and I will remember her each time I look at the photos!

Passion Meets Professionalism

If you are looking for a friendly face to provide a top-notch experience that is both visually stunning and also stress-free, then photographer goes above and beyond those qualifications. From the easy and genuine first phone call to the unforgettable dedication on our wedding day, my wife and I couldn't be more pleased with Sue's services. Throughout the entire experience, Sue and her helpers were attentive, communicative, and super friendly in doing their jobs. It was clear that we were working with professionals who were passionate about their business, and that passion was reflected in the gorgeous memories that they captured. Within a really reasonable time frame, we received back countless quality photos that brought us right back to that special day. We recommend Sue to anybody looking to make their special occasion, that very special and fleeing day, last forever in beautiful photographs.

Simply the Best!

Trust us; look no further than Sue takes Photos for your photography and videography needs. Identifying a professional who incorporates their artistic vision into your special day will allow you to encapsulate memories that will engage you for a lifetime. From her first prints shared, Sue demonstrated her unique and uncanny ability to capture the moment, including the warmth, tenderness, and emotions that made it special. The key to exceptional photography is anticipating the moment and putting oneself in the proper position to capture it. When our dog got loose in the church, Sue was able to secure a photo of her midstride, floating above the floor, in a perfect frame with crisp detail. This moment alone speaks volumes of her proficiency and adeptness in identifying and anticipating where to be at a moment’s notice.

Sue met with us and had all the details preplanned to ensure she was prepared for the day. Sue was incredibly attentive yet always hiding in plain sight to capture each and every moment that made our wedding day so special. Sue was fun and creative, and her artistic vision takes you on a photographic journey of your special day. We cannot speak highly enough regarding how impressed we were with her professionalism, willingness, and proficiency to document every detail of our special day.

Excellent wedding photography experience

Sue was an absolutely wonderful wedding photographer, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Her communications beforehand were always timely and helpful. She did a wonderful job editing and putting together a wealth of beautiful and artful images that capture so many little details of the day, which will always be treasured. Most of all, we so appreciated her joyful and professional style throughout the event itself! She simply brought a lot of great energy which really made so much easier all of the people-wrangling and various scheduling demands of the day. We really just enjoyed having her and her assistant Emily there with us! Thank you!

Excellent Photographer!

Sue was absolutely brilliant for our wedding last fall. Clearly very experienced photographing weddings, she asked us what moments we wanted captured prior to the wedding, and included many options we hadn't even considered. On the day, she walked with us around the venue to find the best locations, and the photos testify to her excellent eye for detail. We were particularly impressed by her attention to textures and lighting. We can be a bit camera shy, and appreciated Sue's candor to help keep us from feeling too awkward!
When time came for family photos, Sue kept things orderly and got all the shots we wanted succinctly. Throughout the reception she was excellent for capturing moments that we are very glad to have and remember.
I cannot recommend Sue highly enough. Her presence and professionalism greatly improved our wedding, and we will treasure the photos she took for us for years to come.

A Great Photographer!!

Sue was truly amazing.......an incredibly talented and gifted photographer. She has an artist's eye and was able to capture the beauty and essence of the most meaningful moments of our wedding day. She responded to our inquiries very quickly and professionally and was a joy to work with. She covered the entire event from start to finish in a most unobtrusive way......the mark of a true professional! And, finally, all of this at a very reasonable price.

Sue is awesome!

Sue is super easy going and a consummate professional. We did one goofy photoshoot and one more serious one and we loved how they came out. She finds the right mix of being present to direct you while also making you feel at ease so the photos feel natural. And she's great at photoshop for post editing, which can be underappreciated. If you want one less vendor to stress about in your planning, go with Sue!

Professional & personable

We can not recommend Sue enough. We had a small intimate wedding and Sue basically fit in with the family which was great. Prior to the wedding I had some specific photos I wanted and she nailed it. Lastly, She got us our pictures in less than 2 weeks which was a lovely touch.

Sue is exceptional.

Let me make this easy for you, one decision off your wedding planning plate: hire Sue. It was the easiest decision I made for my wedding. Not only is she the sweetest person, completely down to earth, and up for anything even if you have unconventional photo ideas, she’s so professional and dependable! My wedding was crazy; we have a lot of performance arts based friends, and Sue was diving on the ground of the dance floor to get the cool shots! All of our friends were so impressed with the dedication! And believe me, our photos came out beautifully. I don’t consider myself a photogenic person, but in every photo, every SINGLE photo, I look incredible. Sue absolutely captured the most beautiful, most fun pictures that my family and I will treasure forever.

Stunning photos, wonderful experience

Sue was an absolute gem to work with! She made us feel comfortable, beautiful, and we were able to truly enjoy the day with her guidance. The photos were absolutely stunning, each with consideration of our most flattering angles, gorgeous light, and perfect composition. I have been lucky enough to work with Sue on other photography projects in the dance world as well, and her eye for flattering composition, timing and light is always unique and right on point. We are so lucky to have found Sue, and hope to work with her again throughout the different seasons of life!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
