As an NYC and destination editorial photographer, Susan Stripling approaches her work through observation, noticing the silences that hum louder than words and the glances that speak volumes. It is within these nuanced and ephemeral details that she finds profound joy, bringing a gentle sense of timelessness to the way she documents weddings with utmost care.
Rooted in the world of theatre and deeply shaped by her love of storytelling, Susan has always been drawn to stories waiting to be uncovered and told.
There is a quiet kind of magic in preserving a fleeting moment and giving it permanence on paper. That sense of joy is present in every image she creates for couples and their families.
