Incredible, natural pictures & warm personality - great for South Asian weddings!

My husband and I got married in Washington DC and Suzanne was recommended to us by another photographer in the area. My husband and I had a traditional Indian wedding and we were looking for a photographer that could strike the balance of natural photos, portraits and could capture the most important parts of the ceremony. Suzanne and her team hit it out of the ball park. Our photos (both engagement and wedding) are beautiful and we've gotten so many compliments from our family and friends. More importantly, Suzanne and her team were such a pleasure to work with. For our engagement photos, Suzanne traveled all the way to NYC to shoot us for a couple of hours in the early morning (and it was freezing)! Although she was unfamiliar with the area, she did her research before hand and knew all the best shots to get. Furthermore, even in the early morning cold, she was incredible cheery and warm. It was a personality that immediately made my husband and I comfortable. Before our wedding, we made a last minute request to add on additional photographers to cover the pre-events and reception and Suzanne was extremely accommodating with our request and was able to secure her colleagues quickly. Suzanne's team was just as great as she was. As a bride, she made me feel calm and comfortable through the getting ready process and amidst the chaos of an Indian wedding was able to capture shots that felt like my husband and I were the only people in the room. Our wedding was on a pier with wind gusts of up to 40 mph that morning and Suzanne and her team did not shy away from the challenge. Overall, I cannot recommend Suzanne more, she's incredible and will be the easiest vendor you work with and more importantly, she'll capture the moments you will cherish for a lifetime.

Amazing!!!!

Suzanne's beautiful wedding photography speaks for itself. The warm, deep hues she uses are second to none. She is not only great to work with, but brings a new artistic lens to wedding photography. She is worth every penny folks! Her cool vibe, great personality and fun spirt makes every minute feel comfortable and natural. Not a cookie cutter photographer, but a true artist. Do yourself a favor and choose Suzanne.

Excellent, Bubbly, Attentive

We cannot thank Suzanne enough for the amazing moments she captured on camera. Her photographs are simply STUNNING and we are so happy that we chose her for our wedding. During our first look we didn't even realize she was there, as she was so discrete. We had never done a couple's shoot before so we were nervous we wouldn't look natural on camera, however, Suzanne had so many tricks to make us feel comfortable and made us laugh throughout the process. We felt like we had known her for years!!

Her photographs are incredible and we HIGHLY recommend Suzanne.

Fun photos, full of life!

Suzanne was AMAZING to work with. From the very beginning we loved Suzanne's personality that was somehow relaxed and energetic at the same time. She is incredible at capturing candid moments. The only tough thing is that all of the photos were SO good that it's hard to pick a favorite. Wedding planning is stressful, do yourself a favor and pick a photographer that will make things fun and effortless!

Suzanne is the best!

From the bride: I could go on and on about how happy I am with Suzanne! Her amazing work speaks for itself so this review will focus on the wedding day experience- she is so nice, fun, easy going, and professional. I knew the pictures would turn out amazing when she was able to find a small detail of my house that I loved for her backdrop of detail shots. During the day there were a few small hiccups which happen with any wedding day and Suzanne and I made eye contact and I knew we were on the same page and she had my back. For the candid moments there was never a camera lens in my face, I didn't know she was there, and was surprised to see what awesome moments she captured. For the couple shots, she helped make us feel so relaxed and bridal party pictures were natural too and not forced. I love every single photo she took and can't wait to get an album.

Wonderful photographer!

Suzanne was absolutely wonderful to work with for both our engagement shoot and our wedding (September 2018)! She is friendly, funny, and organized, and totally made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. Her pictures are absolutely STUNNING - I had a friend book her for her own upcoming wedding after seeing our engagement shoot! I would absolutely recommend Suzanne to anyone looking for beautiful professional photos.

Absolutely Stunning Photos

Suzanne was such a delight to work with from day one and we are in LOVE with all of our pictures! Everything— from the family and wedding party formals, to the couple portraits and the candid reception shots— turned out gorgeous, romantic, and full of laughter. Her entire process, including contract, payment, the list of shots, scheduling, etc. made everything so easy. We can't recommend working with her enough! Next to picking each other, we think picking Suzanne was the best choice we made for our wedding. :)

When only the best will do

We had exceedingly high expectations, both in quality and aesthetic style, for a wedding photographer and Suzanne excelled in every way.

From our first conversation, she was attentive, well-spoken, and thorough which made us feel at ease. Suzanne took time to clearly explain the process and paperwork before the wedding and worked with us to prepare for the big day; this included setting clear expectations and developing a comprehensive set of photo shoots.

On our wedding day, her experience and passion behind the lens ensured we felt at ease in front of the camera. That rapport allowed her to capture and forever preserve intimate moments that we will cherish for a lifetime. That day was more than the highlight of our year; it was an intentional series of delicately orchestrated moments that redefined our relationship. The final product - the artistry - of Suzanne’s talent, genuine enthusiasm and masterful perspective became the soundtrack to our marriage ceremony; adding additional depth and permanence beyond our own experiences.

Suzanne’s work is beyond stunning and we were left speechless by the beauty and nuanced expressions of love she so vividly, yet thoughtfully, revealed in our photos. A picture is worth a thousand words, so check out her social media to see for yourself the magic she could bring to your special event.

Lovely photo session and great pictures

Suzanne is very friendly and professional. She arrived before our scheduled time to find out good spots for the engagement photoshoot session, and came early on the wedding day. She made us at ease at the photoshoot session (as I never had any photoshoot before and was a little nervous in front of a camera). The photos came on time and they are nicely done. She is great!

Just perfect

Suzanne was so personal and professional when it came to our wedding. She was very good at keeping communications open and quick to respond to all my emails. By the day of our wedding I felt calm and assured that our photography was in good hands. Suzanne really put me at ease and covered all of our bases. Not only did my wedding photos turn out above and beyond what I had immagined, she also was such a lovely person to have with me on my special day! Her personality is charming, friendly, and relaxed. I didn’t realize how much that would mean to me- I hadn’t thought about it before, but you are spending your whole wedding day with your photographer! Choose someone wonderful!! Suzanne went above and beyond my expectations. She was able to keep up with our crazy families and handled unexpected changes smoothly and efficiently. I am so glad she was our photographer!! She was even able to make our sparkler sendoff photos look like it was really dark out! (We left before the sun really went down) Overall I would give her a 5 star rating hands down. I absolutely LOVE my fairytale photos and it’s all thanks to Suzanne!!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
