About

Long ago, when I was still a little girl, the world of photography totally captivated me. I remember looking at my dad's copies of National Geographic for hours on end. returning to see them over and over. It didn't occur to me until I had my own children and was supplementing our family income by teaching music lessons that maybe I should consider work as a photographer.

And when I began to pursue that thought, it became totally clear that photography is truly where I belong. Those images from so long ago plus the ones that influence me every day continue to push me forward to become the very best photographer I can possibly be-blending my photographic style with your life changing moments is really all I want to do as a professional.

I love photography. I love people. I love weddings. I love portraits. And to fuse all of those things into one day that I get to live many times in a year is just an incredible way to experience life.

Let me shoot your wedding. Together we will laugh, we will enjoy, we will celebrate. And most of all we will capture images that will influence you and the lives of those you love most for years to come.

I'm Susan Lloyd, a portrait and wedding photographer who loves to infuse drama and fashion flair into photographs of everyday people. I'm based in Charleston, SC, but I'm not scared to travel!

Susan was AMAZING. I would highly recommend her for your wedding! She was wonderful to work with, professional and able to take charge for our large family photos. Also kept the wedding party energy going and focused for post-ceremony pictures (hard in hot Charleston!) We met a couple of times during the planning process, which helped our relationship be more personable...keep in mind you’re with your photographer all day, so getting along with them is important! She was quick to send us a “sneak peek” gallery that my husband and I could view during our honeymoon - a small sampling of the pictures she took. I can’t say enough good. :)

Susan is the best in the Biz, and the second shooter she brought with her (Amy) is not far behind her. I have known Susan for a while and it was a no brainer to hire her for our wedding but even knowing her past work didn't prepare us for how amazing our photos would turn out. Throughout the day she carried herself very professionally and made wrangling all of the family members for a quick and efficient process. Couldn't ask for a better experience.

Susan was absolutely amazing at my wedding and also with my bridal portraits. Her professionalism is outstanding and she makes you feel so comfortable. I will be using her for my sons newborn pictures as well and I know they wil be just as awesome!

Susan has been photographing my family for the past 16 years. I have seen my boys grow up in her photographs and it has been a blessing to have these memories. The most recent session we did was very unique in that it was a "going away to college" shoot. We started at our home and Susan captured the moments of my son leaving his room and coming down the stairs to bid farewell. It was the most incredible moment for us a family, seeing our son off on his journey to the next phase of his life. We left and went to Boone Hall Plantation and shot interaction photos with my husband and the two boys. The end product was a storybook of the day which will be a forever memory I will always cherish. I love that Susan is so diverse and so easy to work with. She is very open to ideas and has the most creative forms of photography to date. I am looking forward to my youngest son's college shoot as soon as we find out where is he going. I highly recommend Susan Lloyd Photography!

Susan is amazing! I have used her for a mother/daughter shoot, engagement photos, and my wedding day. All of which I was thoroughly impressed with the price, quality, and just overall experience. Susan is very professional and uses her skills to make sure your shoot is unique to your personality. She has a way of putting you at ease, which is key for any bride to be! I would recommend her services to anyone who asks!!

Susan was seriously the best photographer ever. She was so fun and made pictures very enjoybale for everyone. She is willing to meet with you before to know exactly the shots you want as well as put her own touch on it. We all enjoyed having her a ton. We have only took a look at a few sneak peek pictures but they were great and I know the rest will be too. Also, very reasonably priced compared to others in the area.

Susan was absolutely amazing and we couldn't be happier with our pictures! We told her exactly what we wanted and she did just that, plus extra. We were so lucky to have her and a second photographer that came with her to make sure she didn't miss anything! He was dressed very appropriate (we had a fancy evening wedding) The best part is, she didn't only capture the love and happiness of our special night but she hand picked photos and put them in a photo album we can cherish forever! We would most definitely recommend her and have. We have since used her for family photos! Needless to say my husband and I are beyond happy with her professionalism, friendliness, creativity, and most of all our pictures!

I hired Susan for both my wedding as well as an individual portrait session. During both encounters Susan was very professional and GREAT to work with. Her photos are fantastic! She not only captures your special day or event she becomes a part of it!! Susan is AWESOME and I will always call on her if ever I need high quality photos.

Susan Lloyd Photography. I had the pleasure of meeting Mrs. Lloyd in July of 2013. It was then when I witnessed her work for the first time, that I knew I HAD to have her as my wedding photographer! She is an absolute delight to work with. From the time I contacted her about my exciting news, her reaction was as if she was getting married too! Saying "Susan enjoys what she does" is an understatement. She doesn't just enjoy what she does, she lives for capturing everyone's moments and is AMAZINGLY gifted. Mrs. Lloyd is one in a million. She is not just a photographer she is an exquisite woman with a heart of gold. She helps you in any way shape or form. I had a question about hair dos and what looks best with strapless. She didn't hesitate on answering a question that didn't pertain to what she was "hired" to do. And that didn't matter to her, she is full of encouragement and knowledge and will do whatever she can to make your day as bright and as memorable. I have only recommended Susan Lloyd photography to anyone that is in search of a photographer. I cannot wait to work with her again for any type of event that I have. Thank you so much Susan!

I am beyond pleased with Susan's work! I found her on facebook and was thrilled that she would travel to Nashville for my wedding. I even cancelled the photographer I had originally booked because I really love Susan's use of lighting and how her photos look radiant without looking over-processed with editing. She gave great instructions to my wedding party and really put them at ease in front of the camera. She also did a great job of capturing all of the details of my wedding. There are not enough stars to "rate this vendor!"
