Sue Zeccola Review

]


One of the most useful things that I saw on another photographers’ web site was to share all of the comments that his clients had left for him…whether it was through a thank you note or just a quote… by the time I was done reading them, I felt like I knew the photographer! What a great idea! I, too, hope that I can compile such an extensive cumulative file of my client’s kind words! By reading on, I hope that you will get a glimpse of just what to expect when you choose Sue Zeccola Photography! “As a mother, one of my greatest hopes for my children is that they find something in their lives, which they are passionate about, whether it is a hobby, a sport, or their life’s work. Sue Zeccola is one of those lucky people who found her passion and lucky for us, she has made it her life’s work. Sue photographed our family of five (and the dog), as well as our oldest son alone for his senior pictures. Her passion for her work comes through from the first minute you talk to her. Her enthusiasm is infectious. Sue was involved in the process from beginning to end. She met with us and helped us coordinate outfits and choose the perfect setting. She spent hours going over proofs with us, and even was involved in the framing process. Sue was fun to work with, yet at the same time, she was always an exacting professional. A great mix, not always something that can easily be pulled off. The whole experience was thoroughly enjoyable for us and we are DELIGHTED with the results. Without reservation, I have, and will continue to recommend Sue to friends and acquaintances.” Kathryn Bailey, MD It has been more than a pleasure meeting and working with you Sue. Could never thank you enough for the beautiful photography. I will treasure it! Thank you so much! Tammy Newville Sue is truly an artist and captured our family wedding magnificently. Ruth Fleischmann-Colgan Thank you for taking the time to make Jessica’s photo shoot be so special. Your work is really amazing. Cathy Lipari We all enjoyed working with you the other night in the studio. Thank you for taking the extra time and making the extra effort for our family portrait. I know we will enjoy the photos for years to come. It was a pleasure working with you and I look forward to working with you again! Patricia Miller I have recently had the true pleasure of working with Sue Zeccola to help preserve the memory of my children's childhood. From our first phone discussion to the beautiful finished portrait, my husband and I could not have been happier. Sue's work is truly benchmark. I have had our children’s pictures taken by several studio photographers, but have never experienced anything like working with Sue. She was very committed to giving us exactly what we wanted in our portraits. The time she spent with us, her patience with our three young and very active children, and her interest in making sure every detail was perfect, went above and beyond what we expected. As a result, we have not just a portrait, but in our opinion, a beautiful piece of personalized artwork that is priceless. We would and have highly recommended Sue Zeccola to anyone interested in capturing a memory for a lifetime. Thank you again Sue. You're the best! Carrie & Phillip Rauen “When my fiancé and I were searching for a photographer to shoot our wedding, we were looking for someone who would take the time to get to know us and who would capture not only the standard, formal shots, but more importantly to us, the more candid moments of the day. We met with many photographers and thought their work was good, yet we were surprised to see the difference in Sue’s images. They were so much more “real.” Sue was exactly what we were hoping for in a photographer. Our work with her started long before the wedding day as she traveled to Letchworth State Park to take our engagement pictures. She really got to know our personalities and what we were looking for in a photographer. Sue generously photographed our rehearsal party and looking back now, we can’t imagine not having pictures from that night, as it was a very ethnic, unique event. She was a blast to work with and very comfortable to be around! Sue captured so may wonderful moments of our wedding, many of which, my husband and I are sure would have been overlooked by other photographers. Her work is amazing! She was recommended to us and we would, without a doubt, recommend her to others!” Jessica Mustafa “We would highly recommend Sue Zeccola as a photographer. She put great effort into creating the perfect family portrait for us by investing her time to find a suitable location that was functional as well as one that reflected our taste. She was also willing to look at our clothing selection ahead of time and make suggestions. Her willingness to put the extra effort into the shoot made our family portrait reveal our own style. Usually taking a family photo is a dreadful experience but Sue made it an enjoyable session. The end result was a family portrait that we love. You would be very fortunate to be able to work with Sue. You can tell that photography is Sue’s passion and it is truly evident in her work.” Marla & Chris Wendel “Sue Zeccola Photography…A+++…Fear of picture taking? Not with Sue! Sue not only photographed us as we walked around our farm, she also captured us with our 3 children, their spouses and our 8 grandchildren with ease and such fun! She returned to photograph our 50th wedding anniversary party days later. The 50th wedding anniversary album is a treasure. We share it with family, friends and acquaintances far and wide. Thanks Sue!” Deloris & Jack Munt “Trust is a good feeling and for years our family has enjoyed that feeling with Sue Zeccola. Our annual family portrait is used for our Christmas card. For this past year Sue and my wife decided to shoot with a snow background. As fate would have it Mother Nature added a wrinkle and postponed the onset of winter. Admittedly I began to doubt the ability to pull it off. Then, as if Sue had willed it, there was a sudden cold snap, an early A.M. call …Sunday December 19th …waiting for the right light …9 degrees F …in the snow …one sick kid …one indifferent kid …bring the skis …two outfit changes …shoot …47 proofs …print …PICTURE PERFECT …mail the cards three days before Christmas …For me, the family experience of the shoot is more valuable and longer lasting than the picture. Thank you Sue Zeccola!!” John Quinn “I am surrounded by the priceless portraits of my beautiful children – thanks to Sue Zeccola. We have several stunning portraits done by Sue throughout our home. Every visitor remarks immediately on the exquisite work that Sue has done. We have utilized several professional photographers in the past, but when Sue took her first portrait of our children in 2000, it was immediately evident that none can compare to Sue in terms of capturing the pure essence of her subjects. Sue has helped me immensely in planning our annual portrait, taking great pains to ensure that every detail is as WE wanted it. Last summer, she even spent a day at our cottage on Keuka Lake photographing three generations in a timeless portrait that my husband will treasure always. Our hope is that Sue will continue to chronicle the all-to-brief passing of our children’s childhood, and that these portraits will someday hang in their own homes.” Susan Knox Smith “Our family had used every background that we could in the department stores, for our girls and family portraits. So we wanted something more natural. We had seen the photos in our Dr.’s office and thought that they were something we would like. We were directed to Sue and from beginning to end she was our dream come true. Our girls loved her, because she talked to and included them in everything. We did not know if it was something we could afford. But her prices were reasonable and she really gave us what we wanted…and we’re picky!! Sue and Bill make a great team and we have not been back to the department stores since. The quality of her work is timeless…we could show it off to friends and family anywhere in our home. Now our girls pictures are on the wall of the Doctor’s office!” Diane Severin
