About

I'm so happy you've found me. My name is Susannah and I am an award-winning photojournalist who has been published by the Los Angeles Times, the Wall Street Journal, and the Denver Post, among others. My experience in photojournalism has placed me on the streets of San Francisco documenting the lives of the homeless, in Kenya tracking the great wildebeest migration, and in Scotland racing behind a pack of huskies while documenting the lives of professional mushers. Through these experiences, I have developed a total love for the power and beauty of visual storytelling. My camera has allowed me to delve deep into people’s lives, my own life, and the world around me.

I strive to use my experience in documentary photojournalism to truly tell your story and capture the most powerful moments that make each wedding so special and unique.

I am a Destination Wedding & Lifestyle Photographer and Videographer currently based out of Austin, TX but willing to travel far and wide to document your special day.

Let's get to know eachother! The best way to reach me is via email at photo@susannahkay.com. Also feel free to peruse both my wedding and editorial portfolios at susannahkay.com. I look forward to hearing from you soon!

I don't think we could have picked a better photographer for our wedding than Susannah. She is exceptional. Her photos are spectacular, and her dedication to her craft is obvious and impressive. Whether it was perching on rock outcroppings, climbing through dense tree limbs, or crouching in stinky drainage ditches, Susannah dove in and did whatever it took to get herself in position to capture our photos from the perfect angles. She was a real trooper for our endless combinations of family photos. And I was particularly thrilled when we got the photos back (very quickly after the wedding!) to see all the moments she captured of our guests at the reception that my wife and I didn't get to actually witness during the frenzy of our other wedding duties. Absolutely well done.

We could not have asked for a better photographer! Susannah was fantastic to work with from start to finish. She was very professional and friendly and made me feel comfortable through out the whole experience. She provided some helpful pointers on what the day would look like and how best to navigate the "cocktail hour" family photos just after the ceremony. I did ask for a few special items to be photographed that came out beautifully! She even saved the day in finding a missing fork when we cut the cake!
The pictures that Susannah captured for us were absolutely priceless. She was able to catch the important moments in a way that didn't distract from the ceremony or reception. The quality of the images are amazing and you can tell in looking at the images that she really paid attention to all the details. We received the images two weeks after the wedding and they are all breathtaking. It was amazing how well Susannah was able to capture the feelings in each moment as well as the setting. I would highly recommend her - she exceeded every expectation!

Susannah was a pleasure to work with and her photos are amazing! The final edited photos really pop with color and light, and there are loads of them! We chose the option to download the digital files through a link, which is working really well for us (the download takes a bit of time though, just a head's up). Now that we have the high resolution photos we plan on making prints, albums, and we've already uploaded them on Facebook. Very satisfied!!
