I'm drawn to couples who care more about being present than checking off a shot list, who choose venues and vendors that reflect their personal style rather than following what everyone else is doing, and who weave their unique love story into every detail of their wedding day. If you're the type of couple who gets excited about the experience of your wedding day—not just how it looks—we're probably a perfect match.
My goal is simple: to create images that make you feel something. Your unique collection of images that's filled with the overwhelming love you felt walking down the aisle, and the pure joy of celebrating with everyone you care about most.
Every couple has their own way of loving each other, and your wedding photos should capture exactly that -- authentic, timeless, and full of the emotions that make your love story uniquely yours. My approach focuses on the moments between moments: the way you look at each other during your vows, the laughter that bubbles up during cocktail hour, the quiet intimacy of getting ready together.
My photography style can be best described as heartfelt, refined imagery with an editorial flair. I capture the emotions of your day through classic compositions and colors that stand the test of time. My editing style emphasizes natural tones and authentic moments—never over-processed or trendy. I want your photos to feel as genuine and beautiful in twenty years as they do today.
A storytelling approach where emotion and connection are center stage. Your thoughtfully chosen wedding details, texturized in warm, romantic light. A collection of photographs that you'll hold close to your heart for all of time.

what you can expect
I bring a calming presence to your wedding day, creating space for you to fully soak in every passing moment while I work behind the scenes. My couples consistently tell me how comfortable and confident they feel in front of my camera—translating into authentic photos that truly capture who you are together. And behind the scenes, I collaborate seamlessly with your planning team to ensure your vision comes to life, whether that's adjusting lighting to make your florals pop or finding the perfect spot for stunning portraits.
"UNDOUBTEDLY THE BEST DECISION I MADE"
how i serve my couples
"What truly set Ji Su apart was how she took the time to understand our preferences and ensured she captured us at our absolute best. Her eye for the little details, the fleeting moments, genuine smiles, and intimate interactions we didn’t even realize were happening was incredible. She effortlessly blended into the background, capturing each special moment authentically and without ever feeling intrusive. Every time we look through her photos, we feel as though we’re reliving our wedding day all over again, not just as the bride and groom, but as if we were there, experiencing it from the eyes of our loved ones.
"Her photos truly tell the story of our day in the most heartfelt and genuine way."
Ji Su is incredibly talented and has an exceptional eye for capturing the perfect moments. Beyond her skills, she made the entire process so enjoyable and always made sure that we felt comfortable in front of the camera.
Everyone says your wedding day goes by in a blur, and it’s true. But thanks to Ji Su, we have the most beautiful photos that bring us back to every special moment. We could not be more grateful for her being there to capture all the joy, emotions, and little details so perfectly. I would recommend her in a heartbeat to anyone looking for a photographer who is incredibly talented and wonderful to work with!
Choosing Ji Su was one of the best decisions I made
lisa & george
Working with Ji Su for both my engagement photoshoot and wedding day was an absolute pleasure, and undoubtedly the best decision I made during my wedding process. She went above and beyond in finding gorgeous locations and spots to ensure that every detail was perfect. On my wedding day, Ji Su truly showed her leadership and talent. From dealing with the rainy weather to making our whole family feel at ease and confident as if we were all stars. We adore her photos and it is amazing to be able to look back and feel the real and beautiful emotions of the day that we'll cherish forever.
"What impressed me the most was Ji Su's genuine interest in understanding my needs."

We loved each and every one of the photos (moments, exchanges, memories, feelings) you captured. The amount of preparation you put into your work was above and beyond what we had expected. Your thorough scouting of the location and meticulous planning made a difference. Your talent and unbelievable attention to detail is evident in the stunning quality of your work.

"unbelievable attention to detail IS EVIDENT IN THE STUNNING QUALITY OF YOUR WORK"

I am both a highly technical and emotional photographer, switching between a hands-on directing approach and a more documentary style depending on the moment. When we're taking family or wedding party photos, I will help set you up in spots with great lighting and ease into natural, comfortable poses. And in the inbetween, I take a step back and capture the moments as they unfold—like the deep breaths before walking down the aisle, or the relief and laughter after family photos. I know how to anticipate these transition moments that truly illustrate how you felt on your wedding day, not just how you looked.
Yes. I would be so honored to travel to your wedding! Travel fees will simply be evaluated at the time of the consultation call then added to your package. I will reserve my travel and accommodations 3 months prior to the wedding.
Wedding photography services begin at $7000; engagement portrait sessions at $1000; City Hall / courthouse weddings at $1400.
While your final gallery size will vary depending on the timeline, I guarantee 60 images per hour, often exceeding this in the final gallery delivery. Your gallery is intentionally curated to feel inclusive of both the key moments, the details of your vision, and the candid inbetween.
You can expect your wedding gallery within 8 weeks from your wedding date. In addition, you will also receive sneak peeks within one week to share the highlights with your loved ones.
To get started,
1. Begin by submitting an inquiry here.
2. I will respond confirming availability, and will share my client guide and a link to book a consultation call.
3. We'll hop on the call. We will get to know each other, and I will walk you through the entire sustudio photography experience.
4. You will receive a contract to review and sign, along with an invoice for the retainer. Once those items are complete, we're set!
About two months before your wedding day, we'll hop on a timeline planning call—think of it as our "dry run" where we walk through every moment of your day together. I'll hear what you're most excited about and ensure we're aligned on the milestone events that matter most to you. Most importantly, we'll make sure there's plenty of breathing room in your timeline so you can actually enjoy and be present for your celebration, not just rush through it.
I recommend reaching out 1-1.5 years in advance, especially for peak wedding season dates (May - October)! I intentionally book a limited number of weddings each year to ensure every couple receives premium, personalized service. Occasionally there is last-minute availability, so don't hesitate to reach out even if your date is closer.
