We so appreciated the creativity Susanna used to create both our kid’s senior pictures. So many senior pics look just like the next and it’s boring. Plus she was willing to take into account their important events- NCAA signing day, homecoming court etc and make time to capture those really important moments. The prices are far more reasonable than other photographers as well. Now we just need another event!!! More...

Susanna was patient and kind with our shy daughter's senior pictures. She even calmed an overwelmed Mom's nerves! The process was easy and the pictures turned out great and really showed our daughters personality. We had so many wonderful pictures to choose from. More than I could have ever hoped for. We look forward to using her again! More...

Where do I begin...from the time we met, I knew that she would capture our day perfectly. She listened to exaclty what I wanted and she didn't disappoint. She was always available with my fretting questions and quickly put my mind at ease. It was quite a stressful time for me and she made everything very easy and natural. Susanna has a beautiful eye for seeing the little things and focusing on the important moments. I will treasure looking back and seeing the memories she captured with my children and my husband. Thank you, Susanna, for seeing my vision and bringing it all to life. I do appreciate you and your patience with me. I would recommend Susanna to everyone More...

From start to finish, Susanna was so easy to work with and extremely prepared. From the first time I met her, I knew we wouldn’t have to worry about a thing. What we feel makes her unique is the time she spent, and her effort to get to know us as a couple. She struck the balance of asking for our input and knowing what was best from her experience perfectly. We are so happy that we chose Susanna as our wedding photographer, she captured memories that we will enjoy forever. We will recommend her anytime we get the opportunity! More...

Susanna is amazing! She was more than we could have ever asked for. We were more than happy with the photos we received from our engagement and our wedding!
For our engagement shoot, she spent a whole day and rode to Purdue with us so that we could have a special experience. I was very confident with her decisions and knew that she would take care of photos on our wedding day, this is one less thing the bride and groom have to worry about on such a hectic day. She captured every special moment that we had together, and more! Susanna is a spectacular photographer and a great friend! :)

My husband and I got married on 6/20/14, and we were THRILLED with Susanna. We were very picky with what we were looking for in a photographer. We wanted somebody who was a good mixture of creative and classic; and somebody who would take photojournalism shots, but also incorporate formal shots. After seeing Susanna's work online, I knew her style fit us right away. Due to the location between us (I'm from the South Chicago suburbs), we first spoke via phone. After the initial phone call, we continued to communicate up until the wedding via email, Pinterest, phone and Facebook. Susanna is very timely in her responses, both via e-mail, and phone. I never felt like I couldn't get a hold of her. On our wedding day, I felt like Susanna perfectly captured the entire timeline of events, as well as, the tiny details, which is exactly what I wanted. I cannot tell you how much I LOVE my wedding photos. In addition, I have received many compliments from friends and family on how beautiful our pictures turned out. Susanna is very easy to work with. She is very organized, efficient and creative. She is also open to new ideas and suggestions. It only took one week to get our wedding photos back, and I was immediately able to share them online with family and friends. I would definitely recommend Susanna Tanner Photography to any couple getting married! With Susanna you can trust your entire day will be captured beautifully and that you'll end up in love with all your wedding day photos. More...

I could not be happier with my experience working with Susanna Tanner as she captured such a wonderful day for my husband Jon and me. Susanna was a great combo of professional and creative, taking the time to learn what we value as a couple and what makes our love for each other different and worthy of celebrating. The time and energy she invested into understanding my husband and I as a couple (from a questionnaire to Skype calls to meetings at Starbucks) translated into images that stood out from the sea of cliché wedding shots and truly reflected our wedding day, our love for each other, and our relationship with our families.
She also used her technical expertise and experience to guide us in the decision to do a “first look”, which was Jon and I’s favorite moment of our wedding day. Despite our trepidations that seeing each other before the ceremony would diminish the moment as I walked down the aisle, the first look was incredibly emotional and our one moment to take time to pray and talk with each other away from the hustle and noise surrounding the wedding. It was a powerful opportunity to reflect on the commitment we were about to make to each other and those images were our favorite of the many, many photos Susanna sent us. The first look also made the day flow much more smoothly and allowed us to get to the reception (and the dancing) faster!
Perhaps the best compliment we could give Susanna was a comment my co-worker made: “Did a friend take these pictures? They look so personal!” If you’re looking for a unique, reasonably priced, and thorough photographer, then Susanna Tanner is perfect for you!

We were in a unique situation this summer with two daughters getting married within a month. Susanna was our photographer for both weddings and she did a fabulous job capturing every detail. The girls, and weddings, are quite different and her photos beautifully reflect each day. I would highly recommend Susanna Tanner Photography. She is a true professional. More...

When we started looking at wedding photographer's we were really impressed with how much Susanna's photos felt like she got to know the couple and understand their story and their relationship. Now that we have our photos back (in fewer than two weeks and over 600 photos) we are impressed with how completely she captured the day and our relationship. She made an effort to get to know us before the wedding, and was in touch as our wedding day approach. The photos are beautiful and we had a terrible time trying to pick out our favourites to share. In addition she was non-intrusive during the ceremony and reception. The bride had broken her leg a few weeks before the wedding and Susanna was very conscious of when she got tired of standing during the photos. She was also great about working around when the bride needed to sit and taking some great photos in a variety of different poses. We opted for just the hi res digital package as we are very digitally oriented people and we are very happy to have the full range of photos accessible in that format. More...

Susanna and I have had the opportunity of getting to know each other through my profession. In doing so, I’ve made a wonderful friend. I do hair and makeup and I have been honored with the privilege to help Susanna’s daughter get ready for her senior pictures and dances. Her daughter is stunning, not only on the outside, but also on the inside. Meeting someone’s children is usually a direct reflection of their parenting and character. Susanna’s daughter has shown the upmost respect and kindness that I know was instilled in her by her loving mother and father. I had already seen Susanna’s portfolio, but the interaction I had with her child sealed the deal to know she was the type of photographer Josh and I wanted. Susanna is a very personal and empathetic person. She knows the kinds of moments that are a must to be captured. Our pictures are out of this world and honestly, we forgot she was even there. She lives in the moment; understands raw beauty, emotion, connection, love and creates an epically unforgettable story of your special day through photographs. Josh and I will be forever grateful for her love, passion, and talent. I would highly recommend her services to anyone who is looking to capture the short-lived moments that will last a lifetime.

Coming from the most awkward, camera shy couple, Susanna did a wonderful job making us feel incredibly comfortable and let us have fun with it! The photos were everything and more -- beautiful combination of serious, fun, loving, and simply, us! Susanna genuinely wants to know you, your story, and how she can capture it best. I never thought I'd feel so connected with this memory and Susanna sparked that right from the start! I would highly recommend Susanna, for her incredible work, and (just as important) her genuine, warm, and caring personality. Thank you Susanna! More...

Susanna was everything we envisioned and more! Our one "non-negotiable" for the wedding was in photography as we knew in order to capture our special day indefinitely and candidly we would have to hire top notch talent and that's exactly what we got in Susanna. From start to finish there was organization, class, integrity, artistry, and most important approachability. She was always a email or call away and we knew that. Come the big day, Susanna guided us through the motions and kept us and our guests focused on what is most important, which is celebrating the marriage and magic of the day. Thank you for being such a paramount role within our big day ma'am, Shana and I know without a doubt we made the right decision in you! More...

Susanna was amazing! She managed to capture beautiful photos and to be honest I hardly saw her through the ceremony portion of the wedding. Susanna was very respectful of my time and very professional in the days leading up to the wedding. She made sure that she knew what was going on during the day and she never missed a beat the entire day. I feel like if she was not there, we would have not stayed on schedule. My photos are wonderful and I cannot wait until we have our favorite ones printed! More...

My husband is from Richmond Indiana, so his mom knew about Susanna's work, when she first showed to me I was sold! Then I met Susanna and she was very professional and flexible and really listened to what we liked in terms of photographs. I am very selective with the type of pictures I like and she listened to every detail. She did our engagement session and just with that it blew my expectations. It was a great way to get to know each other better. The day of the wedding she was there early and I really appreciate she took extra efforts capture great moments like my exit from the hotel. Our wedding pictures are a dream and I had such a hard time choosing my favorites because Susanna did a tremendous job of capturing everything beautifully, and really had patience with me and all of the edits I requested. Thank you so much Susanna for perfectly capturing our special and magical day. These images will be treasure for a lifetime. More...

Susanna was absolutely perfect for taking our engagement, wedding, and wedding celebration pictures! She is a seasoned photographer that helped us realize what moments we wanted captured. When we first met with Susanna we didn't know what we didn't know about wedding photography obviously. So our search for the right person before we met Susanna was really difficult. After spending time with her we were relieved to see her level of knowledge, professionalism and quality work. Our pictures turned out absolutely amazing! Equally as valuable was the fact that we never worried for a second about our photographer leading up to and during our wedding as we knew we were in good hands. We hardly knew she was taking pictures which is a great compliment. Thanks to Susanna for delivering such great memories for us with your passion for doing such great work! More...

Susanna was very patient with me. My career keeps me on the go, so it was hard for me to find the time to sit down and figure out what pictures/album to order. My advice would be to place your order sooner than later. You will more than likely order fewer pictures as time passes, because the excitement of being a newly wed fades away. More...

Q&As

Aside from the creative outlet photography offers me, I enjoy the relationships I cultivate with my couples first and foremost. My goal is for each bride and groom to feel like they have a trusted friend behind the camera. From carrying the bride's lipstick in my camera bag to giving her my tissue during an unexpected reaction during the first look, I want my brides to feel confident they have someone they can rely on during the wedding day and during the wedding planning process. I've gone through lots of weddings and can offer thoughts on what works well and what might lead to unnecessary stress.

I watched my father spend hours developing his own business in our home while growing up, and how his clients all became a small part of our larger family. I suppose it felt natural to take on something similar for myself. Owning your own business can be a lot of hard work, but it's also equally gratifying.

I've always felt that the success of a photoshoot isn't just about being happy with your images. A photographer can have a great eye for composition and color, and know how to operate their gear. But it's also about the experience itself. A lot of people aren't comfortable in front of the camera and show up to a shoot feeling anxious. If my clients reflect back at the end of the shoot and tell me they've had fun then I consider it a success. And if we can go out to breakfast, dinner or drinks afterward then that's a bonus!
