About

I'm a photographer based in Moorestown, New Jersey, specializing in weddings, engagements, maternity, and family portraits. I take a candid and lifestyle approach when shooting, utilizing natural light and looking for those moments when my subjects are laughing, rather than posing.

I've spent years in the photography world - first as a student at the Fashion Institute of Technology, and later in magazine publishing and photo editing. Now, I'm happy to have found a home behind the camera, and grateful to be doing what I love full time - capturing the moments in life that matter most.

I was married in the Spring of 2016, and I know wedding planning is both really fun and super stressful, and that the moment you see your photos is almost as special as the one when you walk down the aisle. That’s why I make it a goal to be the easiest vendor you’ll hire, and why I work hard to capture images that will bring tears of joy to your eyes. A wedding is one day, but your photos are forever. Capturing those once-in-a-lifetime moments is a responsibility that, as a photographer and a newlywed, I take very seriously.

When I’m not photographing a wedding or editing images from a recent shoot, you’re most likely to find me chasing around my toddler son, watching reruns of Friends, drinking wine, decorating my home and cooking a fancy dinner with my husband.

Thanks for visiting my site! I can't wait to work with you.

Susan

Philly wedding

Susan was the best communicator of all of our vendors (and we had some great ones). She had nice forms that we could fill out for the shot list, other vendor information, etc. and was so responsive via email and text (closer to the day). She created a super detailed timeline of the planned pictures, which we used as a starting point for our master timeline.

We had a quick call for a vibe check prior to booking (spoiler: she passed), and because we didn’t do an engagement shoot, the first time we met her was actually on our wedding day. While she offered to have a quick call before the wedding, we didn’t feel like it was necessary because of all the wonderful communication she provided leading up to it. We were totally right because she was so kind (to everyone, not just us) and moved the day along without making us feel rushed and was able to accommodate several location changes. She gave great directions and put us at ease, which is saying a lot for two people who are camera shy.

I could go on for a long time, but I will note three important things: 1) She starts 2.5 hours before the first look and then doesn’t leave until after three full hours of your reception (the clock starts after cocktail hour); this means she was on the clock for over 12 hours with us because we had a late reception start time (7 pm); for many photographers we looked at, this was out of the question. 2) You can use a credit card for booking with her without a weird card fee, which is rare these days. 3) We took portraits at a skinny park with a fountain and had a large wedding party so we were discussing ways to fit everyone into the shots, and Susan said, “Honestly, I don’t mind taking my shoes off and standing in the water to shoot if allowed.” Come wedding day, she had a little towel ready to go in case she had to jump in the fountain. How cool is that?

If you want someone to make your life easier during wedding planning by being organized, communicative and supportive who also happens to take GREAT, natural and bright pictures, you’ve found your photographer!

Best Photographer in South Jersey!

From the beginning Susan was so easy to work with! My husband hates photos and was dreading the experience from the start. We started with our engagement session and we were quickly impressed by Susan! She made the session fast and easy and it felt more like we were having fun than posing for pictures. Once our wedding planning was in full swing Susan was such a help for scheduling the day and everything went by so smooth. Her pictures are flawless and I get compliments on them all the time! We are now expecting a baby boy and we will be using her for our newborn photos in the near future!!

Susan Is Incredible—Highly Recommend!

From our very first emails with Susan, I knew we were in great hands. She was warm, kind, professional, and completely on the ball. When we had our engagement shoot with her last November, we were blown away—she made us feel so comfortable and at ease, and the photos were absolutely gorgeous. After that experience, we were even more excited for our wedding day.
Flash forward to the wedding, and we truly cannot stop talking about how incredible it was to work with Susan (and Abbey!). She was thoughtful, efficient, and everything you could possibly hope for in a photographer. She captured moments so naturally while keeping the day moving smoothly and stress-free.
We are over the moon looking through the sneak peek of photos she’s already sent, and we cannot wait to see the full gallery. Hiring Susan was one of the best decisions we made—she is exceptional at what she does and an absolute joy to work with.

Seamless process from start to finish with Susan!

We booked Susan in the Fall of 2023 for our August 2024 wedding. She is extremely detail-oriented and wants to make sure she captures every moment of your special day. I really appreciated her organizational skills as we didn’t use a planner, and she helped us put together a run-of-show timeline for the day which helped keep us on track and she accommodated all of my requests for different shots. Susan is extremely kind and responsive - two very important qualities in a wedding vendor! We landed on her name as she was a preferred photographer for our venue and we’re so glad we did because she knew the grounds inside and out. We absolutely love how our photos turned our and are so excited to share with friends and family!

The Best Wedding Photographer EVER!

Susan was absolutely incredible. I truly cannot say enough amazing things about her - from the engagement shoot where she helped me fix my dress, all the way through our wedding and beyond she was truly the best of the best and my favorite vendor I have ever worked with. Her professionalism, kindness, and ability to make us feel comfortable in front of the camera were absolute game changers. She helped plan our day-of timeline, kept things moving and on time, and delivered photos that were absolutely stunning. To put it simply, she is fantastic and you should definitely hire her to be your photographer!!

Amazing photographer to have on your bid day!

I found out about Susan through my venue. When I first looked through her blog, I love her natural and candid editing style. When I emailed Susan, she sent me a very neat brochure that has all the information on it. At that moment I realized she would be great to work with and I am so happy with my decision! Susan was very organized and responsive throughout the planning process. The day of, she showed up early to do all my details shots before I arrived at the venue after my tea ceremony. She paid attention to all the details and kept me on track with the time throughout the day since there were so many things going on. Susan made the family formal go so seamlessly and seriously the best photographer out there to have on your big day. She watched the crowd and adjusted her work accordingly. We received our sneak peak blog post less than a week after our wedding day and we are head over heels in love with the photos. The photos captured the day so perfectly that we felt like we could relive our wedding date through them. All of our family members, bridal party, guests, and friends love them! Some even say the photos look like "they came straight from a wedding magazine." Thank you so much for capturing the most beautiful moments of our wedding day.

You've got to go with Susan!

You simply cannot go wrong when choosing Susan as your photographer! Susan is such a natural and so easy to be around. She made both the engagement photos and wedding photos a breeze! One of the things that impressed me most was her ability to command a large crowd without ruining the fun-energy or vibe. We had a very large wedding party (22) and a very complicated family dynamic but Susan was able to navigate all with ease. We were able to get every shot and combination that we wanted and still enjoy ourselves! Your photographer is someone that is with you for all the important moments of your wedding so it's really important to choose someone that not only takes great photos, but that you're comfortable with. This is definitely Susan! Now, for the photos... oh my god... people are STILL talking about how stunning our wedding photos are. We have yet to print any because we are having such a hard time narrowing it down! They are all so stunning. We can't thank Susan enough for all her hard work. Definitely book Susan - she is a pro!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
