Wedding Photographer Susan Stripling explores why wedding photography still matters in the age of AI, the importance of speed and adaptability on wedding days, practical lighting techniques, reliable gear for real-world situations, and how to navigate burnout, pricing, and creativity. She also shares what separates thriving photographers from the rest. This isn't about trends or going viral, it's about becoming a stronger, more reliable photographer and creating work that feels honest, intentional, and real. Whether you're just starting out or have been shooting weddings for years, I hope this conversation reminds you why this work still matters.
