Suzan McEvoy (she/her)… You already know I’m an award winning event photographer – that’s why you’re here. But there are 100’s of photographers out there, so why pick me?

I’m a natural born people person – my mother would say I could get the life history of someone in record time. I have 30+ years’ experience in customer service industries. Heck, I worked a Help Desk and was an ‘Escalation Manager’ where service challenges were sent when others couldn’t resolve them. Shyness is not my thing! I’m described, by my clients, as “easy to work with”, “cool, calm & collected”, “a problem solver”, and have a great sense of humour which can usually diffuse tension in no time at all. I’ve been known to straighten cutlery, lay out client gifts, notify planners of potential issues before clients are aware of them, and still ‘get the shot’. Event photography came about when I was given a media pass to World Skills 2009 and asked to capture everything from blank canvas to motorcycles leaping through hoops of fire. I was hooked! Calgary has an incredible event industry. (My memberships in ILEA, MPI, Tourism Calgary and The Calgary Chamber attest to that!) I spent 4 years as part of the official Globalfest photography team. Guest speakers, politicians, royalty, cool entertainers, blazing fireworks, happy couples, grateful guests, educators, philanthropists and some incredible behind-the-scenes work to pull events and weddings together, all grace my extensive portfolio.

Event photography is as much about the psychology of people – knowing where to look and when, as it is about technical skills.
