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

Vasili and I had the BEST time ever photographing this wedding at the Sofitel Hotel in Chicago (whose staff worked so incredibly hard to ensure the day went smoothly and everyone had everything they needed, including us).   When I last saw Tamara & Brian at their engagement session, they told me that while there were going to be many traditions incorporated into their big day, they wanted it all to really be about the amazing friends and family in their lives.  And that it was!  In terms of the details throughout the day, I was particularly in love with the floral arrangements and bouquets put together by Nadine Horwitz of Fragrant Design as well as the oh so delicious cupcakes made by Sweet Mandy B’s (mmm sweet mandy b’s is my absolute FAVORITE!)

Thank you so much B&T for allowing us the honor, blessing and privilege of capturing the story of your wedding. Mazel tov!

Ceremony/Reception venue: Sofitel Hotel Chicago  

Florist: Nadine Horwitz, Fragrant Design

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.
