and I am so happy you are here.
I'm Susan,
I’m happiest outdoors in nature with my family. But as much as I love a good adventure, or an action-packed trip overseas, I’m also very much a home bird.
Life for me is about finding a balance of the two.
one
I love old friends and new countries; music loud, and laughter louder. Cold mornings; campfire coffees. Pinprick stars in a blanket of ink.
next
I'm a compassionate, generous, sensitive soul. I try to live a meaningful life; to prioritise people, relationships, and experiences over ‘things’.

next
I love good food, an oat milk latte, and a proper G&T (or a cocktail if we’re overseas and feeling fancy). I love that *heart-racing, fumbling with the envelope* excitement when I get a roll of film back. Or finding a new song or artist to overplay.

I love love LOVE an adventure! Stopping for snacks at roadside diners. Offroading in Land Rovers; uncharted corners, and half-forgotten trails. The world is out there for us to play in. And I just want to play, all the time!

I’ve lived in seven countries- mostly in Africa. I spent several years working in Kenya. Think: elephants, leopards, living in a tent, scorpions, bucket showers, nomadic warriors. Though I'm back in Scotland indefinitely now, a part of me will always be there.

next
I spent so long (and I mean SO LONG!) trying to answer the question of ‘what do you want to do?’ Years of feeling like I hadn’t found ‘my thing’; of longing potential, unanswered.
But looking back now- all the random jobs I’ve done, the places I’ve seen, the experiences I’ve had…were all part of a twisting path that led me here. Seeking out beauty, and unbridled adventure. And framing joy for couples in love.

After a decade overseas, I moved to Shetland in 2018. Over a hundred miles from the UK mainland, and never more than three miles from the sea, it's not for the faint hearted.
I’m wife to Ritchie, new mum to Wren, and entertainer of our Vizsla, Barney.
I’m forever drawn to the outdoors - the freedom to be found beneath the naked sky. And ever since I picked up my first camera, I’ve been drawn to couples who feel the same.

“Right away from the first meeting we knew Susan was the right photographer for us. We really felt on the wedding day that Susan was another guest of ours rather than a hired professional.”

"We were really happy with Susan! She took care of us from the first moment we contacted her and was a huge help! We obviously knew very little about wedding photography and how complicated it can be beforehand, we instantly felt more comfortable after having just one conversation with Susan. The pre-wedding meetings were a lot of fun, and really made it easy for us to become more at ease with Susan, and that made the whole process much more relaxed for us."
