Memories that feel and last forever
As a New York City native, and a wedding photographer for over a decade, I realized there was a need for more photographers like me who go beyond photo taking. I put my heart and soul into caring and paying attention to all the details, big and small. Every element in your wedding day is important. Combined my natural talents, with my oddly specific and impressive knowledge of New York City. Mostly my love for helping out when needed to make the day go smoothly. I work with my team who all love giving our couples an over-the-top, above and beyond experience. Sharing our secret spots in the city for the best photos and visuals, all while showcasing the nuances of your relationship that makes yours unique.
Capturing love stories with unwavering passion and dedication. It’s the only way we know how to work. We are diligent and reliable, with a generous sprinkle of passion and creativity. Always here for you, every step of the way. We want to work harder than anyone on your wedding day and we will have fun doing it! These values keep us at the top of the NYC wedding photographer lists.

Kind words from my couples
There are many elements that contribute to the success of one’s wedding day, and as a previous wedding planner, I am familiar with the importance of all these details. Susan Shek provided the care and attention on my wedding day that I couldn’t have anticipated needing or lacking. What a wonderful individual and team, for starters. Susan is genuine, patient, and kind. She is also thoughtful and anticipates one’s needs. I can’t stress enough this woman’s artistry and professionalism. Her team, who also provided videography and a photo booth, were an absolute pleasure. I highly recommend Studio Z photo booths; a nice touch, total upgrade to the guest experience, and fast, high quality real-time printing. All team members approached me and my family with a smile and went out of their way and call of duty to ensure my wedding ran smoothly. Not one curt comment, not one moment of dissatisfaction. I can tell you my wedding day was perfect. I owe a lot of that to Susan and her team…She knows what she’s doing. In this industry and on a day like your wedding- that is PRICELESS. Her photo editing and video editing is LIGHTNING FAST…you will not hound down this woman for photos or video. She will deliver high quality work in a timely fashion. My brother commented on my wedding video just last night, that it “looked like a movie”…but let me tell you that beyond the cinematic and beautiful documentation of my special day…every vignette reminds me of a dreamy moment at the Plaza hotel on July 27th. The memory recall is strong with the choices Susan makes in editing and storytelling is profound, and dare I say- transcendental. I attribute her ability to connect with the heart of a couple and event whixh aids in her seamless translation of the nuances she captures. Memories aren’t just made of photos and video- it’s about a feeling. I can remember feeling so secure and cared for by Susan…for that I am eternally grateful. You will be hard pressed finding better documentarians for your special day, and if you’re blessed like me, you may even make a lifelong friend. Thank you, Susan and her team, for memorializing and capturing the essence and spirit of the love I share with my husband, family, friends, and the greatest city in the world, New York City!
Susan Shek is a phenomenal photographer! She has an amazing vision to create stunning photos! She knows all the places to take amazing photos. We thought doing an engagement photo shoot would be awkward, but Susan made us feel really comfortable. She told us what poses to do and guided us on posture, which was really good. Susan is really down to earth and very professional. She’ll ask you where you want your photos to be done for the wedding and if you want any specific pictures. She’s open to taking any photos you want. She goes above and beyond helping us out with the wedding planning. She brought me a dress form for my dress since the hotel didn’t have anywhere I could hang my dress up for photos. Susan is like a one stop shop which makes it so nice. She has a package that includes photography, videography, and a photo booth. We highly recommend Susan Shek!
