Hi, I'm Suzy, a photographer, mentor and mom of 3. I'm so glad you're here.

Yup. Much to everyone’s surprise, I do take on a wedding here or there. Though I’m pretty select about the ones I do choose to document, as I want to make sure that we’re working with couples who totally vibe with our vision, are madly in love with each other, and focused on nothing but getting married and having a damn good party afterward (that and the fact that I literally am crippled in bed for like a week after each wedding we shoot soooo I can’t really do much more than a few).

But yes, this couple did fit the criteria and also happen to be good friends of some families who you may or may not remember as they pop up on my blog often (like THIS family and THIS family).

Needless to say, the entire day was just as awesome as we expected.

Congrats Kellan & Dan! SOOO happy we had a chance to get to know you better this past year and totally honored to have documented your wedding.

Hope you enjoy a little sneak peek of my perspective of the day (and more to come from Vasili soon!)

XO

Behind the Camera

Suzzane

My name is Suzy and for the last 18 years I've had the absolute honor and privilege of photographing families during their life's greatest moments in Chicago and all around the world (and I have the smile lines to prove it). I absolutely love photography, and I am extremely good at what I do. But my absolute best and most important work is being able to help people connect with their families. So they can see and appreciate of all of things that are so wonderful about their life.
