Today we’d like to introduce you to Susie Qiu and Will Tang.
Every artist has a unique story. Can you briefly walk us through yours?
We didn’t always know that we wanted to be wedding photographers. With college degrees in Communications and Biology, and jobs to match, both of us realized we weren’t happy with what we were doing. When we found photography, it became our creative outlet and we documented anything and everything that we could. When we were given our first chance at documenting a wedding, we became obsessed with wedding photojournalism. We poured our hearts into what once was a hobby and by the end of our first year, we had photographed over 20+ weddings – the response and support we received was incredible and we had finally found something that we love to do and felt passionate about. It was then we decided to leave our former careers and make a drastic change. We’ve never looked back!
Please tell us about your art.
As fine art wedding photographers, we strive to document our couples’ wedding day in the most beautiful way possible, and we want to create photographs that are classic and timeless, so that they can be proud to show them to their family and children even many years from now. While we are photojournalists at heart, and let moments unfold naturally to capture them in their most candid form, there are also times when we’ll compose and direct to create something beautiful and fine art.
We’re adventurous and we love exploring new places. We’re big fans of landscape photography and we’ll sometimes add portraiture by including our couples into the landscape in a way that both highlights them against a stunning background.
As an artist, how do you define success and what quality or characteristic do you feel is essential to success as an artist?
Success to us is doing what you love, being true to your artistic style (whatever that may be), and having some fun in the process. Bonus: downing a lot of cookies at the end of a wedding day, guilt-free.
