Susan Shek began her career in the early 2000s photographing musicians like Tiesto in dark clubs, a training ground that taught her to work fast in difficult light and catch moments that happen once and never again. She brought that skill set to weddings two decades ago and has since photographed roughly 1,000 couples over 19 years. Her studio, Susan Shek Photography, is based at 401 Park Avenue South in Manhattan and offers both photography and cinematography, with a natural, documentary-style approach: first observe, then direct. A solo traveler to 48 countries and counting, she favors real moments over stiff posing, and her team adapts to any timeline, weather or lighting a New York wedding day can throw at them.

If you are getting married, hire Susan immediately! Our pictures and video are everything we could have dreamed of and more, and she truly captured the day's love, joy, and excitement.

Frequently asked questions

Hiring the right wedding photographer starts with knowing how to compare style, fit, availability, portfolio depth, and the way each photographer works on the day.

How do I find a wedding photographer near me?+

Start with the photographer directory, then filter by service, event type, country, style, and specialty. Open profiles to compare portfolios, languages, travel coverage, and contact details.

What wedding photography style should I choose?+

Documentary and candid are best for unscripted storytelling, editorial is more directed and polished, fine-art and light-and-airy lean romantic, and cinematic, moody, flash, film photography, or black-and-white styles bring stronger atmosphere.

What should I ask before booking?+

Ask who will photograph the wedding, whether they have worked with your venue or ceremony type, how they direct portraits, and when final galleries are delivered.

When should couples book their photographer?+

For peak wedding seasons, many couples book 9 to 15 months ahead. Elopements and weekday weddings can often be booked sooner, but popular destination and luxury teams may fill dates earlier.

Can photographers add their profile?+

Yes. Photographers can apply from the join page for a profile listing with long-term visibility as the directory expands into city, venue, and comparison pages.
