Susan Stripling Photography

Many of you have noticed (and asked!) why I haven’t been blogging as much this summer.

The answer is simple : it’s wedding season!

Blogging used to be how I got sneak peeks and previews out to clients, so the blog was the FIRST place that wedding images would drop.  Now it’s all about Instagram, and previews have been coming via my feed and stories in the days post-events.  With a busy summer and many weddings, engagement sessions, portraits, speaking engagements, travel, and time with family – well, something’s gotta give.  And that something was blogging.

Since my last post here I’ve photographed fourteen weddings, countless engagement sessions, portraits for couples visiting NYC, headshot sessions, and spent a lot of time with my family.  My oldest daughter went off to college late this summer, and I consciously replaced some work time with family time in an effort to spend every last moment with her before our huge family transition into now-there-is-a-kid-in-college.

Here are some images from the summer:

Cyd and Andrew’s gorgeous wedding in East Hampton, NY.
A family session where I proved how awesomely popular I am with kids and how much they love me (just kidding, I think she liked me…sort of)
A theatre portrait session with Broadway’s phenomenal Alison Luff.
A wedding in Cape Cod with the sweetest family and the most loving pup.
An anniversary session in DUMBO with a couple visiting from Florida.
The happiest, sunniest wedding at the Wythe Hotel in Brooklyn.
A five year anniversary portrait session at Fort Tryon Park.

Lindsay and Michelle’s marvelous Saltwater Farm wedding in Connecticut!
A charming elopement in Brooklyn, complete with pizza and champagne.
A wedding in Beacon at the Roundhouse with the most EXTRAORDINARY ceremony light!
A wedding at one of my favorites, Pine Hollow, with the loveliest of couples.
A trip to the Berkshires to document the wedding of a former wedding photographer – which is always a HUGE honor!
The loveliest, most wonderful intimate wedding at the Surrey in Manhattan.

If you want to keep up with current work and see my day to day life in my stories, follow me on Instagram! Otherwise I’ll be back with more content once the season calms down – which isn’t any time soon!  See you in the winter!
