We couldn’t have picked a better photographer!

Sue did a fantastic job of capturing our special day in September 2024. Over 500 photos and the quality on every single one is excellent. Sue has an eye for detail and knew how to “stage” photos and also took plenty of candid shots, so we’ve got the best of both worlds on our album! Communicating with Sue was no problem at all, emails were responded to quickly and we also had a pre-wedding meeting to discuss how the day was going to unfold and discuss what photos we would like. We’ve shown our family and friends the photos from our wedding day and they agree that the photos are excellent and they have also said how brilliant Sue was on the day and that they enjoyed talking to her. We’ve got so many nice things to say about Sue, I’ll be here all day! Thank you again Sue, for everything!

Sue is incredible!

We met Sue at a wedding in March 2024 and booked her then and there. She knows the venues, is a lifesaver with a sewing kit & takes the most beautiful photos. Sue Thankyou so much for capturing our special day so beautifully xo

Best photographer ever!!

Sue was an absolute dream to work with. She was so sweet and very professional. She made some great suggestions to start when we were getting ready on the wedding day and got some great shots of both the preparations and when the guests were arriving. Both during and after the wedding, all of the guests talked about how lovely she was and was able to make everyone feel so much at ease. There were a number of pictures she took where we didn't even realise she was taking pictures there!
All of the pictures came out amazingly, and I was really happy with the amount of pictures she got despite her not being there for the full day. Even before the wedding day, she made sure to put us at ease and make sure we got pictures of everything we'd want and more. I cannot recommend her enough for the amazing value and her outstanding work ethic :)

Outstanding

Sue was just the most amazing, friendly and comfortable person to be around. Everyone was so complimentary on Sue's professionalism and work. Sue from start to finish knew what she was doing and took on a couple of requests from few family members (which made their day) thank you. We have received our wonderful photos of our perfect day! Sue went to all lengths to capture our day together and memories. Sue is amazing and if you have her for your special day, you're in good hands. Thank you Sue

Amazing photographer

Sue was the photographer for our wedding at Kent Life on September 17th 2022. We felt completely at ease with Sue from our first meeting with her. She is so friendly and enthusiastic. We wanted a relaxed approach on our day, and she was amazing with both us and our guests. We love our photos and were overwhelmed at how well Sue captured our day. Would never hesitate to recommend Sue for any special occasion.

The Perfect Photographer

There are no words good enough to describe Sue! Genuine, warm, funny, thoughtful, professional, kind, caring, original… I could go on for DAYS! Myself and my wife were recommended to Sue in 2014, as soon as we met her, we knew she was “the one!”. Our wedding in 2015 went without a glitch, and the moments she captured with her beautiful photography; for us are priceless. Not only did she make everyone in her presence comfortable, she fitted into our family like she’d been with us forever. Nothing is ever too much trouble, anything is possible and everything is always thought of with Sue around. She really is one of a kind. Her prices are phenomenal, in this day and age especially! She COULD be charging 3x what she is, but she still keeps her fee’s lower than average - and her standards are the highest I’ve ever known. Her shots are stunning, her editing is brilliant - and her attention to detail is second to none! Sue cares so deeply for her ‘clients’ and offers a wonderfully professional yet warm and comforting service. My brother in law booked Sue in 2017, (he is painfully shy and hates having his photos taken - he was; like us, put at ease immediately!) Most recently my best friend booked Sue for her wedding earlier this month - she just gets better and; better. I would recommend Sue in a heartbeat for ANY event you wish to remember. Not only will leave you with gorgeous photographs and memories captured - she will restore your faith in wonderful humans! She was once our wedding photographer, she has now become our friend. Thank you Sue! You’re simply, the best! X

I would recommend without a doubt

Sue was totally amazing, she had the loveliest manner and put the whole wedding party at ease. She worked really hard to make sure that we had the shots that were wanted, even having difficult conversations behind the scenes to ensure that our requests were met 💖
She listened carefully to our requests and also made recommendations to make sure that nothing was missed.
I would highly recommend Sue, we love our photos
