about susan

behind the lens:

My profession as an NYC and destination editorial photographer is one of observation, of noticing the silences that hum louder than words, and the glances that speak volumes. It is in these details, nuanced and ephemeral, that I find profound joy, a gentle touch of timelessness that allows me to serve you and your weddings with utmost care. Rooted in the world of theatre and deeply colored by my passion for tales, I've always been drawn to stories waiting to be unearthed and told. 

It’s a quiet kind of magic, being able to pluck a fleeting moment from the grasp of obscurity and place it on paper, holding it for all time.  It's a joy that I bring to every image I will document for you and your family.

Every wedding is a tapestry of intricate tales, love stories unfolding like a three-act play.

Trust me with your narrative, and together we’ll craft a tale that lingers, heartrendingly beautiful, unique, wild, sometimes weird, always honest, and forever remembered.

Beyond the lens and the captured memories, I have found a soft joy to life. It’s there in my parents’ comforting presence, holding my daughters close, spending time with my partner, and trying to keep my pets from destroying the houseplants. Amidst these everyday rhythms, I find muses that inspire my work, making each photograph a symphony of the joyful, the gentle, and the forever timeless.

I wish for my legacy to be one of stories told with earnestness and beauty, my life and work echoing with laughter, grace, and maybe more than a hint of whimsical sarcasm.
