If you’ve been married or photographed a wedding before, then you know that 9 times out of 10 the day never goes quite as planned.  And when that happens or things are running behind schedule, usually the photos of the bride & groom are what get chopped out to make up for any delays which is such a shame because the B&G photos are by far my favorite part to any wedding album.  Because of this, I’ve started encouraging my brides to just save these photos altogether for another day, whether it’s literally the day after or a couple months later.  It’s also nice because you can let your hair down a bit and relax some more than you might on your actual wedding day – no schedules to keep to, no worrying about getting a smudge on your dress.  Speaking of after-wedding shoots, that’s exactly what Jackie & Jim decided to do and I couldn’t have been more happy – a beautiful bride & groom + equally gorgeous sunset = magical.

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.
