how we can work together
Before we talk about collections, I want to know what you’re planning.
Tell me about your wedding weekend. Tell me what you’re excited about. Tell me who’s going to be there. Tell me what matters most to you. Maybe you’ve been dreaming about the party for years. Maybe you’re planning a quiet weekend with your favorite people. Every celebration has a different rhythm, and I want to understand yours before we talk about photography.
From there, I’ll recommend the collection that makes the most sense for your plans. Every wedding collection includes two photographers, begins at $9,000, and is tailored to the way you’re celebrating.

Small doesn’t mean simple.
Whether you’re planning an intimate wedding, an elopement, or a celebration with just your closest people, the photographs deserve the same thought and care as any larger wedding. I’ll build coverage around the way you’re actually celebrating, whether that’s two hours in New York City or an entire weekend somewhere farther from home.
Elopements and intimate wedding collections begin at $2,500 for two hours of coverage.

elopements
Think of it as an excuse to spend an afternoon together.
We’ll wander your favorite neighborhood, explore somewhere you’ve always wanted to photograph, or revisit a place that means something to you. The result is a set of photographs that feels relaxed, personal, and unmistakably yours.
Engagement sessions begin at $1,500 for one hour, with additional time available if your plans call for it.

After reviewing what seems like thousands of portfolios of work from other photographers, we can truly say that Susan's shot composition and overall aesthetic are unrivaled. Susan possesses this innate ability to identify pockets of light that make for dynamic and dramatic images without a heavy handed edit. Each shot in our respective collections feel truly unique as Susan plays with depth, focus and changes lenses and cameras frequently in order to create pictures that are one-of-a-kind, even if they're shot against the same backdrop.
Beyond her artistic ability (her pictures speak for themselves) Susan achieves the perfect balance of charming and professional! Our rapport grew during each of our shoots and she made us both feel so at ease, that getting organic looking pictures was a breeze.
“Susan Stripling is an absolutely essential hire for you and your partner.”

As creatives ourselves, we wanted a photographer who did more than just capture our wedding; she made ART that is timeless and unforgettable.
But don’t be intimidated, she’s one of the most down-to-earth, easygoing, and delightful people I’ve ever met. We had so much fun with her and were honored to have her as our photographer.

I'm notoriously long winded so will try and be as brief as possible. Susan is awesome; her assistant is awesome; even her dog is awesome! She was easy to work with, professional, and creative. We felt like celebrities doing a photo shoot during our first look around Philly! The photographs Susan took are beautiful, we love them and we've received so many compliments on them.
Many of our guests and friends are now following Susan on Instagram--I recommend to anyone reading this to spend two minutes right now and check out her gorgeous photos of the Hamilton cast and you'll see for yourself that the 5 stars are well deserved. The value we received for the price we paid was well worth it. If only Susan was there to capture all of life's big moments! I would highly recommend Susan to any couple looking for a wedding photographer.
“There isn't enough space for me to express my gratitude to Susan for shooting our June 4th wedding at XIX in Philly.”

She is one of the most talented, amazing, and professional photographers we have ever come across. After we shared her blog post of our wedding showing a preview of the photographs, everyone commented with the same response: "Those are the best wedding pictures I have ever seen".
In a market flooded with wedding "photographers" Susan stands out far above the rest. She exceeded our expectations and captured the emotion of the day perfectly. Her usage of lighting and her composure of the images are incredible. If you are looking for a wedding photographer, stop, and hire Susan. You won't regret it.
“If we could give susan stripling 10 stars we would say that isn't enough.”

Not everyone needs the same kind of headshot.
Some people need one great photograph for LinkedIn. Others need a full library of branding images, updated comp cards, or portraits for a new website. Before we schedule anything, we’ll talk about how you’ll actually be using the photographs so we can create exactly what you need.
Headshot sessions begin at $1,500 and take place in professional studio spaces in Manhattan, Brooklyn, or Jersey City, depending on your location and needs.

You don’t need a major occasion to deserve great photographs.
Some portrait sessions celebrate milestones. Others don’t need a reason at all. Families, maternity, seniors, bridal portraits, boudoir, or simply a season of life you’d like to remember—I’m happy to meet you there.
Portrait sessions begin at $1,500 and take place in a studio or on location, depending on what you’re planning.
