Suzzy’s Sweet Shots

If I could give her less than one star, I would. Suzanne Bernd has made the last almost 4 months of my life miserable, as well as the weeks leading up to my wedding. Let’s start from the beginning. We agreed on a price SIX MONTHS before the wedding and then the week prior she told me I would have to pay her more money if I wanted her to be there for «that long». Ok well I’m not a photographer so when we agreed on the original $ 700, I assumed that I would get all the standard wedding pictures (getting ready, bridal party, ceremony and some reception). Then I ended up paying her $ 1000 so I could have those necessities. I will say she takes beautiful pictures, but that does not make up for complete lack of maturity and lack of knowledge of how to run a business. February 1, 2015 (2 days shy of one month after our wedding) was the first time I texted her very politely asking how the pictures were coming along. She didn’t respond for 27 DAYS. She said prior to my wedding that I would get the pictures in February so I didn’t expect them Feb 1^st, but I did expect them before Feb 28^th. After two solid months of asking, she send half through email. I never received the other half, which she said she sent. Last night my father in law received a USB of the pictures and today my father received his USB. This is because they both asked her for copies since they knew I wasn’t getting mine. TO DATE (4÷15÷15) I STILL haven’t received a USB or the rest of the pictures. As a woman, I would’ve hoped that she would understand that these pictures were and are extremely important to me. They mean everything to me. I live in Arizona, and she is obviously in the Bay Area, so it is nearly impossible for me to make sure she responds to me, which is why my father and father in law got involved because they both live in the bay area.
Two weeks ago, the last time she responded to me at all, she was cussing and being very inappropriate. I have saved all messages from her, so if anyone cares to see them, please let me know. I became snarky with her after I realized that she didn’t care one tiny bit that I hadn’t received my pictures. I never cussed at her, though I wanted to. She has made the last three months of my life a living hell. Stressed, crying, upset… I just wanted my dang photos! Thank goodness my father and father in law can now send me the USB because I believe she will never actually send a copy to me, THE BRIDE.
I wouldn’t recommend her for any service, EVER. I never want anyone else to go through what I have gone through.

Suzzy is amazing! She has taken pictures of my daughter a few times and it has been an great experience every time! My daughter’s pictures have come out so adorable and are always received really quickly! Suzzy is so full of energy and you can definitely tell she loves what she does! She is 100% my go to photographer for any occasion!

Suzzy is an incredible photographer because her business goes beyond gorgeous photos. She’s personable patient and truly enjoys what she does. She makes sure she captures everything you want and gives you edited pictures in a timely manner not mention her price are A STEAL for all that she offers. I would recommend her work for any occasion to any studio session. She’s great with kids animals and weddings! Book with her!!!

I NEVER received my pictures. I had asked her several times to send them and she said she sent them but I never got them. I even offered to take a USB drive so I could have them in time for my daughters 1^st birthday party and she never replied. Be careful who you give your time and money to. If I would’ve known this would’ve happened I would’ve gone somewhere else. Now I have no pictures to give to my family members.

I couldn’t give Suzzy’s Sweet Shots enough stars! Suzzy is such a talented photographer and fun person to work with. The first time I used her was for my maternity pictures. At first, I was hesitant. I didn’t think I was photogenic, but she made me feel so comfortable and directed me on how to pose, where to look, etc. The pictures came out so great! I ended up dragging my boyfriend back to do a couples shoot and then used her for my sons newborn pictures as well.

I have gone to a few different photographers since having my daughter, and trying to find the right one that has amazing patience with my extremely hyper, wild child who HATES pictures, let alone standing still for them has been a mission to say the least. Suzzy is the only one who has been able to get the most amazing shots! Even when she’s running wild! She always has a great theme in mind before hand, and it always is kbmgwncsmwhat I’m looking for! She always gets the photos edited and over to us within a few days! She truly has a passion for what she does and it completely shows in her pictures! I highly recommend her to anyone for any type of event! She’s amazing! I’m happy to say I no longer have to look around for any other photographer, I will book her for any upcoming event!
Thank you so much Suzzy.

I was able to work with Suzzy shortly after my engagement. We took several pictures so I had a variety to choose from, and I have to say I was very satisfied with her work. I am not comfortable in front of the camera but Suzzy made it very comfortable and fun for the both of us. I highly recommend Suzzy as a photographer and am excited to have the honor in continuing to work with her as she documents our wedding.
