Blending the elegance of a Tiffany & Co. diamond ring with the exhilaration of that pivotal moment when you realized you are going to marry the man of your dreams
Did you know you don’t have to hide the fun parts of your personality to cover your walls in fairytale wedding photos? From the moment you step into your showstopping ball gown until your new husband sweeps you off your feet to spin you around on the dance floor, this day should feel completely you, whatever that might mean! Your wedding day should genuinely be the best day of your life.
But just because you want your day to be unique doesn’t mean you don’t still want to rely on the talents of others to make your dreams a reality. I mean, more power to the DIY queens of the world, paper mache-ing their ceremony arches or what have you…but that’s not your vibe. You’re more of a done-for-you bride who wants to partner with trusted vendors to create jaw-dropping details your guests have never seen before. And I’ve got you covered.
EAST COAST WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY
Experience. After 17 years of documenting love stories, I know weddings inside and out. The best part? No two stories are the same. Being able to capture your wedding authentically as it unfolds is where the magic happens!
WHAT MAKES me DIFFERENT
My unique experience begins right here with an inquiry unlike any other. I truly want to understand you and your wedding vision! So, tell me a little about what has been inspiring you on Style Me Pretty, and I’ll be in touch in 24 hours or less with next steps. And because I only partner with a limited number of couples each year, I recommend submitting your inquiry 1-2 years in advance!
“Cause all I know is we said, ‘hello.’”

You aren’t planning any old wedding, so you don’t want to trust its preservation to any old photographer. Let’s ensure our visions align as I learn more about your photography priorities and encourage your wild, nearly impossible ideas. Whether we meet in person or connect over a video chat, I’ll help you choose the perfect collection for your wedding and answer all your questions, too!

THE PROCESS
Why would we make your wedding day the first time you step in front of my camera!? Talk about pressure! Instead, let’s do a dress rehearsal—like a date, but with a camera handy—to help you get comfy in front of my camera. As we walk from location to location, exploring a spot where none of your friends have ever taken photos before, we’ll brainstorm ways to bring your most swoon-worthy wedding ideas to life! And please bring your four-legged BFF along for the fun!
“With you, I’d dance in a storm in my best dress, fearless.”

Every bride says she wants a smoothly-flowing wedding day. But do you know the secret to ensuring you have one? A perfect custom timeline and a strategic family portrait list that I custom create just for you. Through my detailed wedding questionnaire, I understand your priorities, vendors, schedule, and must-have photos to ensure we get everything you want and more!
“Everything will be alright if you keep me next to you.”

THE PROCESS
When it comes to packing for the big day, it can all be a little overwhelming…and things almost always get left behind. Not with me! As the big day approaches, visit the Wedding Details Guide in the client lounge to walk through everything you need to bring for detail photos you are obsessed with. Let’s make sure everything, from your watercolored invitation suite to your special bottle of Chanel No. 5 arrives safely and is documented beautifully.
“I like shiny things, but I’d marry you with paper rings.”

THE PROCESS
With a Taylor Swift song on your wedding morning playlist, we’ll charge into the best day of your life surrounded by your BFFs. We’ll give that new TikTok trend a try, document fun behind-the-scenes moments to share on Insta stories, and make your man cry (in a good way!). And I’ll be there through it all to document the moments that matter most to you so you can cherish them for years to come.
“This night is flawless. Don’t you let it go!”

THE PROCESS
Finally, it’s time for everyone’s favorite part: the big reveal! And for my couples, this happens in a few stages because I know everyone hates the wait. Soon after the “I do”s, you’ll receive your first sneak peek followed by an email explaining what’s coming next. Because this ain’t your momma’s wedding photography reveal.
Oh no, we’ve got something much more magical planned…
“Can we be this close forever and ever?”
09. Gallery Reveal

THE PROCESS
The hallmark of a luxurious experience is effortlessness, and we like to make even the most challenging part of this process )trying to decide how the heck to design a gorgeous album) effortless. Just one month after your wedding (I know, so fast, right?!), you’ll meet with my designers to see your full gallery for the first time and design your heirlooms with their expert guidance. Here’s to you, newlyweds, and a lifetime full of happiness decorated with romantic, unconventional, elegant images that are just so dang “you.”
“Life makes love look hard…but this love is ours.”

"From her organized timeline, to her amazing personality and of course, her perfection in her pictures, she exceeded all expectations. Susan and her team are everything you would ever want on your wedding day because she keeps everything in order and stays on your timeline while making the whole process super fun and enjoyable."
“We got so many compliments from our bridal party and family about Susan. She was nothing short of amazing..”
Christina and Robbbie
"Susan is SO talented, professional and makes your wedding photography experience so fun and enjoyable. A big factor that helped me decide on Susan was how personable and friendly she is. I wanted to make sure we were going to feel comfortable with our wedding photographer and didn't want our photos just to be another thing 'to do' for the wedding. Starting from our first conversation, Susan really invested time to getting to know myself and my husband personally and what we wanted for our wedding."
“Best.Photographer.Ever.
If I could give Susan 100 stars I would.”
Robyn and Tommy
"Susan was absolutely AMAZING during our entire wedding process.
She is very easy to communicate with and very personable. Overall, we had an amazing experience with both sessions! Her work and talent in photography is incredible! "
“We cannot put into words how happy we are that we booked Susan to photograph our engagement, as well as our wedding day.”
dominika and Michael
"If are looking for a photographer who is professional, makes the whole process easy & fun, truly cares about you as a couple and ensures that you have the absolute best photos to look back on – you can stop looking now, Susan is the one!"
“Not only is her work out of this world incredible, Susan is also the sweetest/ most fun human ever.”
Amanda and Connor
