Susan Shek Photography

Susan Shek is a native New Yorker who leads a wedding and event photography studio with an office on Park Avenue South in Manhattan. Her team offers both photography and video, and covers weddings across New York City as well as destination celebrations overseas.

Why she suits LGBTQ+ couples

Susan works in a modern, candid style that follows what is really happening rather than directing it. Her approach starts with getting to know you and how you want the day to run, so the coverage is shaped around your relationship and your plans rather than a standard shot list. With photo and video available from one studio, you can keep the number of people in your planning small and the look of everything consistent.

What she offers

• Wedding photography with a second photographer and an assistant
• Wedding videography and same-day edits
• Engagement and proposal shoots
• Custom wedding albums and printed enlargements
• An online gallery and sneak-peek images
• A photo booth for receptions

How she works

The process runs in three stages. First comes an initial conversation to plan. Next you talk through your vision and structure the timeline for the day together. On the wedding day itself, the team works quietly and stays ahead of the action so that you and your guests can relax. Couples describe the finished images as stylish and emotional, with a strong sense of place, whether at home in Manhattan or on a Greek island.

Where she covers

The studio is based in Manhattan and covers weddings throughout New York City, including Brooklyn, and the surrounding region. Susan also travels for destination weddings and has photographed celebrations as far away as Mykonos.
