Hello

Hey, I’m Susannah – though most people just call me Susie. I’m a photographer, creative, and lover of all things beautifully designed. I live in Christchurch, New Zealand with my husband, our two wild little ones, and our chaotic, old dog, Jeff.


Outside of photography, I’m all about well-designed spaces, spontaneous getaways, pilates sessions, quality time with friends and fam, and a perfectly made G&T to kick off a night out.


My photography has taken me across New Zealand and around the world, capturing love stories in the UK, Europe, Australia, and Asia.

Every place and every couple has their own magic, and I never take for granted the trust I’m given to document something so personal.


At the heart of it, photography is my way of connecting – calming nerves, reading the room, and catching the fleeting, beautiful moments that make your story yours. Every shoot is a fresh opportunity to create something honest, meaningful, and a little bit magical.
