About Your Photographer
Welcome! I’m Suzy, a passionate and dedicated destination wedding photographer with a love for capturing the beauty and romance of weddings in Italy. With multiple weddings under my belt in this stunning country, I’ve had the honor of documenting love stories in some of the most picturesque locations, from my current hometown in North Carolina to the breathtaking Puglia, Italy
My work has been recognized and published in The Lane and The Wed, showcasing my commitment to delivering exceptional photography that tells a story. My style is candid, storytelling, infused with editorial flare. I believe that the most beautiful moments are the unscripted ones—the genuine smiles, the stolen glances, and the heartfelt emotions. As a photographer, I adopt a fly-on-the-wall approach, giving minimal direction to ensure that your day unfolds naturally and authentically.
To deliver photos that truly resonate, I invest time in location scouting and planning ahead with mood boards. This preparation allows me to understand the venue’s best angles, lighting conditions, and unique features. By planning and visualizing, I ensure that every moment of your wedding is captured in the most beautiful way possible.
The Value to Your Clients
As a planner, you carefully craft an experience that feels seamless and intentional for your couples. My role is to capture it in a way that reflects their story—without interrupting the natural flow of the day.
Why My Approach Benefits Your Clients
Unscripted & Natural: I take a fly-on-the-wall approach, allowing couples to be fully present while I document real, meaningful moments. Their gallery will feel effortless, timeless, and true to them.
Aligned with Your Vision: I work closely with planners to understand the mood, design, and flow of the day. From scouting locations to creating mood boards, I ensure that the photography enhances the aesthetic and atmosphere you’ve curated.
A Stress-Free Experience: With careful planning and an unobtrusive presence, I capture every key moment without disrupting the timeline or adding pressure to the couple.
Storytelling That Lasts: The final images will not only reflect their love but also highlight all the intentional details you’ve designed—preserving the experience exactly as it was meant to be.
If you’re looking for a photographer who blends seamlessly into the wedding day and delivers a gallery that truly represents your clients and your work, I’d love to connect.

Equipment Readiness: Before the big day, I’ll ensure all my photography gear is in top condition and fully charged. This means I’ll be equipped to handle any lighting conditions or technical challenges that may arise.

FAQs
-
Yes, I am set up for payment plans. I can divide the payments up into three parts with a 50% non- refundable retainer due once the contract has been signed.
-
It depends on the amount of coverage but on average about 1000
-
Yes! I can collaborate closely with your planner to provide tailored venue recommendations.
-
It’s very standard for photo and video to be separate. While I specialize in photography, capturing every detail and emotion of your wedding day, I can certainly provide recommendations for videographers who align with your desired style. Let’s discuss your vision, and I’ll point you in the right direction for videography services that complement your photography choices.
-

-
All of my travel fees are included in my packages, ensuring there are no unexpected expenses. I also offer a flat fee for travel that covers lodging, flights, and other related costs. If I create a custom quote, I’ll strive to secure the best possible price for your specific needs.
-
At Suzy Anderson Photography, I understand that unforeseen circumstances can sometimes affect your wedding plans. My cancellation policy is designed to provide clarity and fairness to both parties. Here’s how it works:
1. Non-Refundable Deposit:
To secure your wedding date, a 50% deposit is required at the time of booking. This deposit is non-refundable. It guarantees your date and prevents other clients from booking the same date.
2. Cancellation Timeline and Fees:
-
More than 60 days before the wedding date: If you cancel your booking more than 60 days prior to your wedding date, you will forfeit the 30% deposit, but no further payments will be required.
-
30 to 60 days before the wedding date: If you cancel your booking between 30 and 60 days prior to your wedding date, you will be responsible for 75% of the total package price. This fee covers the initial planning and scheduling work already undertaken.
-
Less than 30 days before the wedding date: If you cancel your booking less than 30 days before your wedding date, the full package price will be due. This is because it becomes challenging to rebook the date on short notice, and considerable time and resources will have already been allocated to your wedding.
3. Rescheduling:
-
Rescheduling Due to Unforeseen Circumstances: If you need to reschedule your wedding due to unforeseen circumstances, we will do our best to accommodate the new date, subject to availability. If the new date is available, your deposit will be transferred to the new date. If the new date is not available, the cancellation policy will apply as outlined above.
-
Rescheduling Fee: Please note that rescheduling within 30 days of the original date may incur additional fees, depending on the circumstances and new date.
4. Force Majeure:
In the event of force majeure (such as natural disasters, pandemics, or other extraordinary circumstances beyond our control), both parties will make reasonable efforts to reschedule the wedding. If rescheduling is not possible, a fair and equitable solution will be sought, considering the work already completed and the non-refundable deposit.
5. Communication:
Timely and clear communication is crucial. If you need to cancel or reschedule, please inform us as soon as possible. We will work with you to address any concerns and find the best possible solution.

For me, film isn’t just a cost or a technical choice—it’s a deeply personal and artistic part of how I approach wedding photography. Film has a unique way of capturing light, color, and emotion that digital simply cannot replicate. It has a timeless, organic feel that evokes a sense of nostalgia and intimacy, which perfectly aligns with the way I tell stories through my lens.
Including film in every wedding package is not just about offering something ‘extra’—it’s about bringing a layer of richness to my work. Each roll of film I shoot is a deliberate decision to slow down, to be present, and to capture the essence of a moment with intention. The grain, the subtle tones, and the softness that film offers create an atmosphere that digital images often lack, and it’s this beauty that I want to preserve for my couples.
By incorporating film into every package, I’m able to offer a gallery that’s not only dynamic and vibrant but also timeless and evocative. Film photography adds depth and texture to the story I’m telling—whether it’s the quiet, emotional moments or the grand, joyful celebrations.
Film isn’t just a medium; it’s part of the story that unfolds throughout the day. It’s a way to bring out the true, raw emotion of your wedding day, and I want you to experience that, not only through digital photos but through the art of film.

Thank you
