Susan Stripling Photography

My sister suggested that we check out hiring Susan as our wedding photographer when she saw photos on Facebook of her friend’s wedding (which were gorgeous). After viewing Susan’s portfolio, we knew we had to hire her. We loved the raw emotion that came through in her photos and her incredible use of light. We also loved that the photos looked natural and not at all posed as I find is typical of other wedding photographers.
We booked Susan several months in advance to ensure she was available for our wedding. As the day got closer, we had several touch points with Susan both via email and telephone to ensure all the details of the day were ironed out. With our wedding being in Manhattan and us wanting to do first look along with photos of us and our dog there were a lot of logistics that needed to be ironed out. Susan provided great suggestions as to certain areas of Manhattan that she suggested we shoot in addition to being completely patient and easy going as we moved around the city. Susan was incredible to work with and very efficient in getting her shots – there was no standing around or wasting time. Throughout the night Susan was quick to jump on photo requests and also captured candid shots. We are so excited to receive the final images and would recommend booking Susan to anyone in need of her services. We LOVED having her as such an important part of our wedding day!

I LOVE Susan. I cannot even begin to express how extremely happy we were with her services. She photographed our wedding back in 2012 and I find myself looking at them all the time. She is a true artist and sees the most creative and beautiful things through her lens. American Photo has named her one of the best for 2012 and it’s no surprise why, she’s brilliant. She aims to please and will get that epic shot of your day, and then some. I hired her again for a bridal portrait shoot in the summer of 2013 and she presented me with shot that a girl could only dream of, but she made it a reality for me. Thank you Susan, we’ll call for you again to capture more notable moments of our lives. Wouldn’t dream of looking anywhere else.

Susan Stripling is incredible. My wife and I LOVED working with Susan Stripling to capture the magical moments of our incredible wedding. I am thrilled with the quality and style of the photos that Susan took during our big day. We got married on New Year’s Eve, and even though the holiday makes life a little crazy, Susan was a pleasure to work with. She was, without a doubt, the best decision that we made during the wedding prep. Her photos will endure for the rest of our lives. She can’t be beat!

Susan’s pictures from our wedding were nothing short of amazing! Susan was easy to work with, added a fun energy to our wedding, and we could not have been happier with the finished product. Her pictures have such a unique richness and depth — its like a work of art! We were realistically hoping for 1 – 2 great frame-​worthy pictures going into the event, and we ended up with dozens. HIGHLY recommend.

No words could accurately describe Susan’s pictures (but I’ll take a feeble stab at it)! For starters, she was incredibly responsive, fun to work with, super flexible, absolutely tireless (I actually think she climbed on a billboard to get the perfect shot of our rooftop dinner!), and more than fair on pricing. Then there are the pictures.. . to say they are stylish, classy, unique, stunning, or perfect would be a total understatement. They look like a Vogue-​produced coffee table book of the hottest wedding around, yet somehow still captured every emotion, every tender moment, and every detail. Every single member of the wedding party, without exception, said these were the best pictures of themselves they’d ever seen, and my husband and both of my sisters immediately changed their facebook profiles to one of Susan’s pictures. It’s been four years since our wedding and we STILL have people gasping when they see the photos somewhere. The only negative about using Susan is that it’s virtually impossible to narrow down the favorite photos to a display-​able number!
