January was a big month for Wedding meetings and this particular one was definitely one of my favorites.  Bridgette greeted me with such excitement when we met because she chose me after seeing the Wedding images that I captured for a friend of hers a few years ago.   Word of mouth referrals are so helpful and are truly appreciated!  I am so lucky to receive such amazing testimonials from my couples too which I always post to my website.  They really give new couples an idea of how I perform ON the Wedding day revealing my excitement to be there just as much as anyone else.  It is truly a magical experience!

Not only was I excited to meet Bridgette, but I was introduced to her English Bulldog Pudgie too and it was love at first sight.  He was the sweetest, happiest little guy and I couldn’t stop playing with him.  (don’t tell my dog Buddy though ~ he’s always my favorite) 

I am really looking forward to their Big Day in November … and though it seems like a long ways away, we know it will be here in no time.  We decided to split up the Engagement session which was a great idea…half now in the winter, and a few more over the summer to get a different look.  It’s nice to have the extended time to be able to do that. They live in the Corn Hill area, so we took a few in the house with Pudgie first, and then off to the landing which has special meaning to them.

Congratulations Bridgette and Chris ~ you guys are adorable together and I’m honored that you’ve chosen me to photograph your Wedding day; it’s going to be pure bliss.  Enjoy this very special time together! 

Congratulations on your upcoming Wedding ~ you must be so excited to be planning for the Big Day!
If you received a goodie bag from the show, save my card, schedule a get together with me, and if you choose me as your photographer by the end of January 2010, you’ll receive a complimentary canvas print after your Wedding ~ a $200 value!

I would love to have the privilege of being your photographer, and I look forward to hearing all about the special details of your celebration ~ have fun!

It still amazes me after these last few years of running a business of my own, just how genuine, sincere, and thankful my families and couples are for the pictures and service I provide for them. After years and years of working in the corporate world, I was lucky if I ever got a ‘thank you’ for all the hard work I was doing…but I always appreciated it if one came my way. Now, I am blessed to be doing something I am absolutely passionate about, I’m surrounded by happiness and love within the families and couples I photograph, and am thanked and appreciated beyond anything that I am worthy of.
Every time I receive a new testimonial, the expressions of gratitude and praise fill my heart with happiness because it reminds me that those treasured moments in time are equally as important to others as they are to me.

This most recent testimonial was written by a mother of the bride; someone I truly adore and I felt like one of the family the minute I was welcomed into their home and celebration. Thank you Jan for taking the time to write this ~ your family will always be close to my heart.

“When we began our search for a wedding photographer, I happened onto Sue’s website, and after looking at her photos, decided to meet her in person. We immediately liked her friendly, happy demeanor—and we loved the beautiful pictures she showed us.

We next saw Sue on my daughter’s wedding day—and she found us all sitting around the family room table eating and laughing. I think she wondered why we weren’t further along in readiness, so she calmly but effectively moved us into action! She is remarkably easy-going as she does her job—and she clearly was sharing our joy that day. She quietly moved around, snapping wonderful candid shots, and the requisite “posed” pictures were very easily taken. Again, her light manner, her ability to blend in, and her wonderful positive attitude made what can be onerous actually quite fun!

In looking through the hundreds of photos that Sue took throughout the day, it is really striking that there is not a single picture of someone with a “plastic” smile. The photos tell a story of family and friends celebrating altogether. She managed to beautifully capture the wedding—and especially the radiant, happy bride and groom. I think that Sue’s personality really helped to elicit the joyful responses from those being photographed!

We felt that we were in very good hands with Sue—and really appreciated her professional, unobtrusive, yet fun nature. I personally can’t thank her enough for the beautiful reminders of one of the best days of my life! ”
