Glowing words from Nikki and Matthew LoPresti: “Matthew and I could not have imagined anyone else shooting our wedding other than Suzanne. Her understanding of our style and our personality was impeccable. Throughout the entire process of working with her she was so laid back and full of creative, artistic ideas that we absolutely loved. Suzanne made us feel very relaxed and confident in her talent and ability to accomplish what we wanted. That’s the last thing a bride wants is to feel unsure and nervous about something on the day of her wedding! She always made herself available if we had questions or other ideas. I recommend Suzanne to anyone, even if they already have a photographer! She is an absolutely fabulous photographer in every way and a wonderful person to work with.”
Great feedback from Jared Earley, along with a snapshot he sent of the canvas wraps he purchased from Suzuran: “In planning our party, we had aimed for a balance of comfort, indulgence and whimsy – and, looking back on the occasion through Suzanne Cofer’s studied lens, we are delighted to recall an event just as colorful and lively as the one we had envisioned – perhaps even more so. Suzanne’s documentary-style approach has allowed us to weave a lasting story through photographs – ones that capture the event’s every headline moment along with subtle details of our guests’ intermingling, allowing us to discover new details even long after the fact. We have since had four enlargements printed to adorn our apartment wall, reminding us daily not only of the unforgettable celebration, but of our talented friend and photographer Suzanne.”

Blush-worthy feedback from recent bride, Lisa Smith: “Working with Suzuran Photography for our wedding was such a delight! They are professional, warm and have an incredible eye for what looks good in a photo. They captured the best moments of our wedding, both posed and candid. Suzanne is a true artist and her passion for photography is evident in everything she did for us. We could not have been happier with our wedding photos and get compliments on them all the time!”
Thank you, love Jolie Bond, for these sentiments regarding her wedding photos with Suzuran Photography: “When I look back over the pictures Suzanne took, I always smile because the happiness of the day is completely captured in such a beautiful way. We knew that we wanted our wedding pictures to be unique, artistic and lovely – which they are – but Suzanne completely blew away our expectations. We are having a hard time not putting wedding pictures all over our house because we love them all so much!!”

A lovely testimonial by Lauren and Shawn Jones: “Suzanne (Suzuran photography) photographed our wedding in May 2010. She was recommended to us by a friend and we are so glad we chose her to capture photos of our special days. Working with Suzanne was a pleasure. Not only did she meet our challenging schedule, she was creative, friendly, professional and very easy to work with. We enjoyed her artistic nature, great attitude and natural ability to capture special moments in fun and different ways. Excellent job, both at the wedding ceremony and the reception celebration. I would recommend Suzanne to anyone. “
