Suzuran Photography captured our pandemic mini-wedding (October 10, 2020) and our larger reception later on (December 4, 2021), and we could not recommend them enough!

We had been following Suzanne and Dan’s Instagram (@suzuranphotography) for quite a while, and when it came time to select our photographer, the choice to go with them was easy. Not only did we love the aesthetic of their photography, but we loved the ways they captured small, intimate moments.

When we had our engagement session with Suzanne, it was very clear that her easy-going personality was exactly what we had hoped for. She knew all the creative spots and made us feel comfortable along the way. Oh! And she’s great with dogs too! Our doggo Annie had to make an appearance for some of the pictures.

Suzanne was always in touch with us and extremely accommodating. When we had to cancel our large reception to a small intimate, outdoor wedding during the pandemic, they were very understanding and took extra caution when at the reception. And over a year later, they were back with us for a large wedding reception at the Union Club of Cleveland.

We wanted a photographer that was not just a business transaction, but someone we could get to know. Suzanne and Dan get to know each couple as friends, which is a really rare experience.

For every step of the way, Suzuran Photography captured the most beautiful, timeless moments, and we could not be happier to have them as our photographers and friends.

When my husband and I first met Suzanne for our engagement session, we immediately clicked with her. She spent time getting to know us and helping us feel comfortable in a situation that, for us, felt totally foreign. By the end of the day, we were relaxed and laughing which is exactly what was captured in our photos. I was floored by how sweetly she captured these small, micro-moments of us looking at one another or turning a certain way. On our wedding day, we were both completely at ease. Dan joined my husband in the guys in their suite for the morning and Suzanne took the time to photograph all of my small wedding details while I was getting ready so i didn't feel rushed or like I had to pose the second she walked in - it was so relaxed! She and Dan coordinated perfectly for our first look and found the most magical little park near our hotel where we could exchange our vows in private. It was so special and I never felt like they were hovering or forcing a moment. It made our day feel incredibly intimate despite being followed around by 2 cameras the whole time! The most remarkable thing was how prepared they were for a rainy day that took the rest of us by surprise. They had clear umbrellas on hand, backup shooting locations and ideas for us, and were super focused on making sure they got the shot while keeping me dry and my dress white, despite the puddles. We absolutely love Suzanne and Dan - having them document our wedding felt so warm and joyful; I can't imagine having chosen anyone else!

I came across Suzuran's work randomly on Pinterest as I searched for Cleveland area vendors. As soon as I saw Suzanne and Dan's photos I absolutely knew we had to use them for our wedding. Their work is absolutely stunning and everyone who has seen the engagement photos they took for us can't stop talking about how wonderful they are. We have seen a sneak peak of our wedding photos from 7/14 and cannot wait to see the rest! Suzanne and Dan made the process fun and helped us to feel relaxed on a day that could easily have felt stressful. My husband who wasn't really excited about the idea of a photo shoot keeps talking about how much he loved working with them, so you know they are the real deal! We were so happy they were a part of our day and will likely turn to them for photos in the future.
