We Love Weddings Because…

Weddings hold a special place in our hearts because they are filled with deeply emotional moments that we cherish capturing—whether it’s the tender anticipation of a first look or the touching bond of a daddy-daughter dance. These intimate, once-in-a-lifetime experiences bring such joy and raw emotion that they inspire us to create timeless keepsakes. Being part of these moments allows us to witness the beautiful unfolding of a couple’s love story, making each wedding not just an event, but a profound experience that we love to preserve.

Our Wedding Style

Our wedding photography style is high-end, luxury, and romantic with a signature light and airy editing aesthetic. We focus on natural posing, attention to detail, and capturing authentic moments that tell the genuine story of each couple. Our approach combines traditional elegance with contemporary creativity, producing timeless images that emphasize joy, love, and luxury.

Our Personality

Our personality is upbeat, friendly, and FUN, creating a comfortable atmosphere that makes clients feel like they’re working with a trusted friend. We balance professionalism with warmth, ensuring that every interaction is enjoyable and stress-free. Our extensive experience and approachable nature help put couples at ease, leading to more natural and genuine photos.

 

What Inspired Us to Start Our Business

20 years ago I lost everything I owned in a house fire, including pictures of my kids growing up and my own childhood memories. During that time I truly realized how important photos are to have and look back on. Wedding days are once in a lifetime, and I truly think it’s an honor to be the person to capture that moment in someones life and share that memory alongside them.

What Makes Our Business Stand Out

What sets us apart is our deep commitment to the importance of printed products and the unparalleled, personalized service we provide before, during, and after the wedding. Our signature album design process over Zoom creates a unique, intimate experience that lets couples relive their wedding day with a slideshow set to music, while our expert album designer works with them in real-time to create a stunning album. This attention to detail, coupled with our playful personality and focus on creating heirloom-quality products, delivers an experience that feels both luxurious and personal.

Meet Susan Elizabeth

I’m a mom to 3 amazing adult daughters (30, 27, and 20) who, along with my 20-something brides, keep me feeling like I’m still in my 20s too! I’ve been married for 12 years, and we split our time between New Jersey and Florida, where I soak up the sunshine and adore palm trees (instant mood boosters). I’m a dog mom to 4 fur babies: two Goldendoodles, a Lab, and a Chihuahua (Bentley, my 60 pound doodle, secretly has my whole heart!)

I’m obsessed with country music (Favs: Morgan Wallen, Kelsea Ballerini and Megan Moroney) and will find a way to make it to any country concert. I’m a proud Swiftie and new Chiefs fan (Go Taylor’s boyfriend!). My youngest daughter attends the University of Florida, making me a very dedicated Gators fan.

I also have a (perhaps unhealthy) penchant for designer sunglasses, way-too-frequent Amazon shopping sprees, and scrolling social media.

One thing most couples would be surprised to know is:

Despite my upbeat and friendly presence on wedding days, I’m actually an introvert and a homebody who prefers relaxing on the couch in sweatpants binging my latest Netflix obsession to going out somewhere nice.
