Professional.
“Susan was super knowledgeable and professional from day one! Susan took the time to get to know us and what we were looking for. You can tell that Susan loves what she does and is truly happy for her clients. Her work is incredible – the photos made us cry. She is an artist and she knows how to capture the moment.”

Helpful.
“Susan made our dream come true! The first time we met I felt like we already knew each other for a long time. The photos are beautiful, every single one. She is such a great professional photographer and made us feel natural in front of the camera even though we both are totally awkward. We are still so overwhelmed how wonderfully she captured our love in these pictures. Thank you so much Susan!”

I am a passionate Isla Mujeres wedding photographer and love to document stories of the heart.
Everything I do and strive to achieve in my imagery and relationships with my couples and families is in pursuit of this passion.
Since 2005, I have been photographing professionally throughout Mexico capturing more than 800 incredible love stories and countless families.
Ten years ago, I moved from Colorado to Mexico and have called Isla Mujeres home ever since. My focus is primarily here on this tranquil island and the jungles, cenotes and beaches of Tulum; however, if you have your heart set on another Mexico destination along the Riviera Maya like Playa Mujeres or the west coast beachside towns of Sausalito or Zihuatanejo, lets chat! I’m willing to travel to tell your love story!
Over the years, my imagery has been featured in print and wedding blogs such as Style Me Pretty, The Knot, WeddingWire and LearnLove to name a few. I have also received awards for TOP WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER and the winner of the COUPLE’S CHOICE AWARDS for multiple years. Additionally, I’ve been a member of the FEARLESS PHOTOGRAPHERS invitation only organization where my imagery has been awarded as well.
In the end though, what really matters to me is my relationships with my clients. They are why I do what I do!
Trust.
“I would suggest Susan to anyone considering a wedding, especially a destination wedding. There is a certain element of anxiety when planning a wedding thousands of miles away from your home turf and with Susan, I knew I could trust her and had nothing to worry about. She was very easy to communicate with and exceeded our expectations in every way. Thank you Susan for capturing the best day of our life!”
Katie + Greg
Above and Beyond.
“I can’t praise Susan enough for her amazing work. She went above and beyond her duties as a photographer and made destination wedding planning so much easier for me! All my interactions with her have shown me what a truly genuine and caring person she is. She listened to what was important to us, was always responsive to my countless questions, very organized and unobtrusive on the wedding day and just a pleasure to work with. Her dedication to her profession and clients is outstanding. Choosing Susan was one of the best choices during my wedding planning!”
Jennifer B.
Personable.
“Susan did such an incredible job at our wedding. The images are stunning and her personable and professional way of approaching everything was exactly what we were looking for!! Our wedding guests kept asking “how did you find your photographer, she really knows what she is doing and she is so cool”. Susan’s technical skills, creative eye, and confidant way of approaching every situation she was faced with at our wedding really put our minds at ease. We just can’t say enough good things about this talented woman!”

My Style: Weddings, Elopements, Vow Renewals
As an Isla Mujeres wedding photographer, I am a visual storyteller. My style is a mix of documentary, creative, emotive and timeless.
For most of the day, I will blend into the background and capture all the excitement and energy that makes your wedding story unique in a hands-off, candid approach.
Sometimes, we all need a little guidance when it comes to feeling comfortable in front of the camera. Not to worry! I will be there to guide you. Even in these situations, your photos will still look natural and show the authentic ‘you’ and the connection you have with your love.
The images I provide will allow you to truly ‘feel’ the moments of your day each time you look at them throughout the years.
My Style: Marriage Proposals + Engagements
Wether you’re staying in Cancun or Isla Mujeres, the island is “THE” destination to propose marriage! You seriously cannot get more romantic than on the cliffs of Punta Sur or a quiet stretch of sand with the crashing blue Caribbean Sea behind you.
Don’t worry if you’ve never been to the island! As part of my services, I provide you with step by step detailed instructions that will provide you with all the information and timing for your special moment.
Proposal sessions can include engagement photos so after you pop the question and your sweetie says “I DO” we will continue taking photos to capture your next journey together!

My Style: Photographing Families on Vacation
I approach my family sessions from a more relaxed and natural way.
I understand that sometimes you just need that one photo of perfection, but mostly, you just want the images that capture your unique family relationships in a fun way. After all, you’re on vacation!
Don’t worry if you are nervous about being in front of the camera, I’ll be there to gently guide you and I promise to do what it takes to make your little ones belly laugh so I can capture their cute smiles!
