Wedding photographer who felt like part of the family 💜

We honestly couldn’t have wished for a better photographer than Sue. From the moment she arrived, she brought such warm, energy, and professionalism that made us and everyone else feel completely at ease. She wasn’t just our photographer — she felt like part of the day, blending in effortlessly while still managing to capture every single special moment.
She made us laugh, kept everything relaxed and fun, and still delivered the most stunning, high-quality photos that we will cherish forever.

What touched me most was how helpful she was throughout the whole day — from helping put the flowers on the grooms suit to helping me (the bride) in my wedding dress and even stepping in to offer me somthing old borrowed and blue. These are things she absolutely didn’t have to do, but just shows how thoughtful and caring she is. She really went above and beyond in every way.

So many of our guests commented on how wonderful she was — not just in the way she worked, but also how lovely she was to be around. We couldn’t have asked for anyone better.

If you’re looking for someone who is incredibly talented, reliable, and who will genuinely care about making your day as special as possible, Sue is the one. We’re so grateful to her for capturing our wedding so beautifully.

Absolutely Fantastic!

Sue is everything you want in a photographer and more! Professional and friendly down to the core. Will ask you for any pictures that you want and then adds so much more. We had so many pictures and got them before the night was out! Is willing to help out whenever needed especially with tricky buttonholes.
Cannot recommend enough!!!

Such a wonderful photographer

We met Sue at a wedding fair in Kent a year or so before our wedding. After I chatted to Sue for a few minutes I knew she was exactly the type of photographer I was looking for. Friendly, down to earth, professional and relaxed about taking photos. I went off to find my fiance so we could book her for our wedding shortly after. Sue goes above and beyond being a photographer, stepping in at our wedding to help several times when we needed it, she took all our ideas on board, kept everybody laughing and enjoying themselves whilst taking pictures in the background. We've had our preview photos of the day sent via Whatsapp and love them them, we can't wait to see the rest when we return from our honeymoon.

Perfect Wedding day by Sues_special_days

We met Sue at a local Lordswood wedding fayre and were blown away with her prices and photographs. We knew we'd chosen the right person for our wedding day. We had communication over emails and video call with Sue and personally for someone who does not like having their photo taken , Sue was perfect at making me feel at ease and Sue just mingled with our guests and honestly I forgot the camera was even there.
Sue is an extremely talented photographer, and the quickness of receiving a few of our photos the night of our wedding was exciting and to then return home the next day to the full wedding albumn on our USB stick just incredible

Thank you Sue 😊 . If you're looking for a photographer go quick and book Sue's Special Days photography ASAP

Many thanks for capturing our perfect day Mrs and Mr Jeynes 💕 💕

Amazing photographer!

Sue is absolutely brilliant! From the minute of booking to the day and getting our photos so quickly she was amazing! An absolute highlight of our day was having Sue who made it so fun for us who don't like our photos being taken. She knew the venue so well and everyone loved her! Highly recommend! Than you Sue for capturing our special day!

Best photographer in Kent !

Sue was amazing, she communicated regularly with us, with a video meeting a month before our wedding so go through final details. I got my pictures on my wedding day which was amazing, some of my friends waited months for their pictures with their photographers so I’m so glad I could get them that soon,. You truly couldn’t get a better photographer she’s so lovely and fun, even had a mini sewing kit to tack in my dress for me! You couldn’t ask for a better lady, thank you so much Sue, I’d whole heartedly recommend her to anyone

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!

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

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

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
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
