Susan Stripling is an inclusive NYC and destination wedding photographer documenting weddings, elopements, microweddings and engagements. Rooted in theatre and life's everyday rhythms, she captures the unspoken glances, soft laughter and poignant in-between moments, aiming for timeless elegance with evocative intention. Based in New York with a studio in Brooklyn's Gowanus neighborhood, she welcomes every couple and every story, drawing from the city's pulse and the richness of global cultures. Couples describe her style as dramatic, ephemeral and playful, praising her innate ability to find pockets of light that make dynamic, one-of-a-kind images without heavy-handed editing, and her work has appeared in national publications including Martha Stewart Weddings.

She is one of the most talented, amazing, and professional photographers we have ever come across. Everyone commented with the same response: those are the best wedding pictures I have ever seen.

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.
