Working with Miranda, Raquel, and Kylie was a true pleasure. Kylie assisted us at our rehearsal the day before our wedding, practicing the ceremony to ensure we understood the process and best practices for each bridal party member. Miranda and Raquel were there for us on our wedding date, helping set up decor, running to get breakfast for the bridal party, and being the point of contact with all our vendors. At one point, as the bride, I was getting overstimulated with all the pictures being taken in a short amount of time, and Miranda/Raquel had my back by making sure I had water and 30 minutes to center before our ceremony. I'd recommend Start Rose Creations to family and friends for any event.

I did my trials for hair and makeup a few weeks before my wedding. They texted me a few hours later to see how everything held up and what I wanted to change. On the day of my wedding the helped me deal with the awful news that my venue would not be staffed for my wedding. They helped me get my mind off of all that and focus on my friends and the hair/makeup. We made the changes I wanted and I genuinely have never felt so beautiful in my life. My bridesmaids looked incredible as well. Were all different ethnicities, skin tones and hair textures and all looked amazing. They were efficient in our timeline so much so that we finished nice and early which allowed me to take a breather with all the things going on with my venue. The make up and hair held through tears, sweat, outfit changes, and head banging on the dance floor. I can’t thank them enough for making my wedding day the best it could be!

Mitali is an absolute gem of a florist! From the moment we first connected, she was responsive, creative, and incredibly knowledgeable. I shared with her my vision for our wedding, emphasizing the importance of incorporating lavender, whimsical touches, plenty of candles, and an overall romantic and dreamy atmosphere. Mitali not only listened to every detail I shared but also made sure to include my personal touch requests in the most beautiful way possible. The flowers she used were of the highest quality, and the candle holders and candles themselves added such a warm and romantic glow to the entire venue. Mitali's attention to detail was truly impeccable - even the flowers we took home with us lasted for days after the wedding! What truly sets Mitali apart is her overall understanding of design, reliability, and flexibility. She was able to make changes to the design to accommodate any last-minute requests or changes, and her ability to bring my vision to life exceeded all of my expectations. But beyond her talent and skill as a florist, Mitali's wonderful aura and easy-to-trust nature truly set her apart. Working with her was an absolute joy, and I am so grateful to have had her as part of our special day. Thank you, Mitali, for creating the most beautiful and magical floral arrangements for our wedding!

We're a husband/wife photography duo. We're college sweethearts and we're currently expecting our first child in June 2021! We are so happy to be in this business but we didn’t always know we’d become wedding photographers. Seth spent about 10 years in video production (aka the equipment expert) and Nicole is an advertising art director (aka the artsy perfectionist).

Where can I even start? Seth is one of the most personable, professional, friendly people I have ever met. Off the bat with our first FaceTime meeting, he had me sold! His photos are absolutely stunning, and there’s no question that he is incredibly talented and has an eye for the perfect shot. Throughout our 21 month engagement, Seth kept in touch through the pandemic, the possibility of postponing, and him and his wife expecting their baby right around the time of our wedding! Through it all, Seth had a back up plan and was ready to handle any possible situation. The best part, Seth has now become a good friend that we plan to keep in touch with in the years the come. I promise you won’t regret having himself and his awesome team capturing your wedding day!

Awarded Best of Zola
Working with Angie was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. My husband, mom, and I often talked about how incredible she was and how we couldn’t believe we thought we could plan the wedding without her! We started planning on our own for the first year and then brought Angie on for the final three months—it was completely worth the investment (in hindsight, I wish we had hired her sooner). Angie is beyond generous with her time. Our weekly meetings, scheduled for an hour, often extended to two, and not once did she make us feel rushed. Her entire approach is so thoughtful—she took the time to really get to know us and our families, and she truly understood our vibe. Then, she took everything to the next level, suggesting creative touches we’d never have thought of, like turning our seating chart into a map of NYC with table names for different neighborhoods! One of the biggest reliefs was having Angie coordinate directly with all of our vendors. She worked with everyone—our venue (Tavern on the Green), rehearsal dinner and brunch venues, hotel, hair and makeup teams, band, photographer, and baker—meaning we didn’t have to manage any of that ourselves. She even managed our payment schedule, which was such a huge help. Angie was always full of great ideas, and she didn’t just come up with them—she would go ahead and make them happen! From printing all of our signage to supplying candles, photo frames, and even ring boxes, she has everything you need. Her calm, empathetic nature and fantastic listening skills made the entire experience enjoyable and stress-free. Honestly, we were so sad when the wedding ended because it meant no more weekly calls with Angie! If you’re even considering working with her, I cannot recommend her enough—she is a true gem!

  • Serves Essex Fells, NJ

I'm Angelica, the owner of Dawnpoint Studios! I'm an adventurous and internationally requested wedding/elopement photographer with a focus on sustainability! Here's an unexpected fact - I hated weddings when I first started second shooting them. It broke my heart to see couples being rushed, overwhelmed, and not truly having any connection to couples. That's what drove my passion to breath a fresh air into the wedding experience! Plan with intention, focus on being present, and building genuine relationships with couples! You should be heard, appreciated, and understood. You should feel encouraged to get married your way.

Awarded Best of Zola
Read for my true heartfelt experience with Angelica at Dawnpoint, but in short - hire her. This should be the easiest decision you make in your wedding planning journey. I came across Dawnpoint after she documented the wedding of someone I know. Those pictures felt so authentic and real. They took me right to the event and made me feel so much. I knew I needed to meet her. From my initial zoom meeting with Angelica, we hit it off. I said I wanted to get the best views in our pictures. She was on board right away. For our engagement pictures, she took us on a hike. Chris and I showed up in hiking gear with our formal wear in our packs. So did Angelica. This may seem so minuscule but for two people who had never been photographed and just wanted someone to make them feel comfortable and to capture something real, this made us trust her from the get go. Needless to say, those pictures were amazing. We even used them for our save the dates! Fast forward to our wedding day in Lake Placid on June 15, 2024. My goals were ambitious but Angelica was on board every step of the way. From creating the timeline to executing the plan the day of, it was the least stressful part of our day. What I loved most was that she listened to my vision and incorporated it in everything she did that day. I even forgot that I wanted a specific picture of my dress, but she definitely did not. When I was getting ready, she had my bridal party share personal stories of us and it was so sweet, I felt so connected to the people closest to me that day and it helped me stay grounded and present from the beginning. For our first look, we wanted to meet at the top of Whiteface Mountain. This was 40 minutes away from our venue and logistically a lot of things could go wrong. Yet, Angelica was a smiling face reassuring me that we could do it. Everything from asking for us to skip the elevator line, to clearing the space on Whiteface for Chris and I to get our moment. I was and remain truly speechless of how she actually made this happen. The pictures speak for themselves. After, we returned to our venue and without delay resumed with a first look with my dad (which I added last minute and was meeted with so much excitement from Angelica). One of my favorite parts was golden hour pictures. I take zero credit here. This was Angelica’s idea and I am so thankful. It was a truly beautiful and authentic experience to photograph the newly wed joy I felt. This is just one of so many ways in which Angelica showed that she was as present and invested in our day as we were. After receiving my sneak preview pictures, I was honestly met with so much emotion. I was brought right back to each moment and exactly how I was feeling. I am truly blown away because if anyone can get a picture to tell a thousand words, it is Angelica. She perfectly captured our day and was the single most best decision I made that day. Unsolicited feedback from my guests: “Your photographer smiled the entire night! She looked like she was having so much fun!” This was feedback I got multiple times and it goes to show much Angelica loves her job! P.S. Jake, her second shooter, was also an absolute pleasure. Together, their energy was infectious.

Awarded Best of Zola
For almost the entirety of the planning process, we put off working with a wedding planner. About 3 weeks before our wedding day, we realized we couldn’t put it off any longer – that’s where One 15 Events came in. From our first conversation with Erica and Katie, we knew we made the right decision and were in the right hands. Katie immediately injected a sense of calm into the weeks leading up to our big day. She was thoughtful, thorough, precise, and decisive. On our wedding day, Katie was our right hand. She was our eyes and ears, running around to ensure every detail was executed as we planned. When there was a small table snafu at the eleventh hour, it was Katie who sprang into action to resolve. When it was time for our brief ceremony rehearsal, it was Katie who took charge and led the way. When we realized our bridesmaids hadn’t been given their bouquets for formal pictures, it took no more than a minute for Katie to locate and hand them out. It was because we had Katie there as an extension of us that we were able to sit back and enjoy what could have been a hectic and stressful day. Spoiler alert – the day was awesome! Without hesitation, we would recommend using One 15 Events for your wedding! Ask for Katie – you won’t regret it :-)

We couldn’t have been more thrilled with the music for our reception and cocktail hour! We went with The Gramercy, a DJ/band combo, and they were absolutely amazing. From start to finish, they kept the energy up and made sure the music was exactly what we wanted. They were incredibly interactive with our guests, which really added to the fun. It wasn’t just background music—it was a key part of the celebration, and everyone felt engaged. They played every song we requested perfectly and seamlessly filled in with other tracks that hit the mood exactly right. The vibe was always on point, and we had guests commenting that it was the best wedding music they had ever experienced. Beyond their talent, they were also so easy to work with. The whole process was super streamlined, from submitting song requests and details through their app to coordinating with the venue. They were professional, responsive, and just an absolute joy to work with. One highlight was when they played "Shipping up to Boston" and all of the Boston College alumni went crazy on the dance floor! See the pics below, from our amazing photographer Carolina Rivera (who we also recommend!) We had the best time, and the music made the night unforgettable. We can’t thank The Gramercy enough for helping us create such an incredible celebration!

There is nothing I love more than photographing weddings - a day full of raw emotion and I get to document and make art of out it! I'm a newlywed so I totally get what you're going through! We recently adulted hard and bought a house - next up is a dog! Please tag me in all funny dog videos :) I love occasionally working out, always eating cookies, and watching nonstop romantic comedies - especially while I edit (let's not talk about how many times I've seen Dirty Dancing). Can't wait to meet you!

My now-husband and I do not consider ourselves photogenic by any means so it was really important for us to find a talented photographer who also “clicked” with us for the big day! Michelle is that photographer! From the very start, she put as at ease and kept us at ease through all of the perfectly timed pre-wedding check-ins. On the day of Michelle was prompt, positive and ready to go. Her second photographer was also fantastic. Michelle was ready with the Dad jokes to keep us laughing in front of the camera. Our photos turned out absolutely gorgeous, and we couldn’t be happier! Seriously we couldn’t believe we could look as good as we do in them. 🙂

I'm Miranda, a Jersey City, NJ wedding photographer. I understand that being in front of a camera can be awkward, especially if you're not used to it. Instead of putting you in robot poses, I will guide you on moving naturally and provide prompts to evoke fun and romance. Your wedding day is a once-in-a-lifetime event, surrounded by all your favorite people and their love as they celebrate your next chapter as a married couple. It's no surprise you want wedding photos you can look back on to feel the connection, remember the moment, and share the stories. I believe photographs are like time machines, one of life's greatest treasures.

Awarded Best of Zola
From the moment I saw Suess Moments instagram page, I was drawn to the beauty of her images. Once my Husband and I met with Miranda, we knew we would be in great hands for our wedding day. Her strategic planning sessions prior to our day, helped us map out our wedding day, moment by moment and made our day go by smoothly. Her assistant Ashley’s attentiveness added to making us feel at home and in great hands, simply a great team! The photos came out unbelievably beautiful and we’re in the process of choosing the shots for our photo album and picture frame shots, so many to choose from! For any couple looking to capture the magic and beauty of your wedding day, look no further than Suess Moments as the only choice for your special day!

Having performed at hundreds of Weddings, all throughout the country, as well as other private and nightlife events, Taso has the unique set of skills, experience, & vision to provide the right vibe for your celebration and dance floor!

Awarded Best of Zola
DJ Taso was hands down the best decision we made regarding our wedding. His organization prior to the wedding was top notch—he helped guide us through the whole day and gave us a lot of great ideas and feedback on how to make our vision come true. During the event, he was on top of everything and made us feel totally comfortable. He has a great positive energy, but is still very commanding of the room as emcee. Finally, the MUSIC. We literally had multiple people tell us it was the best wedding they had ever been to and that the DJ read the room and kept the party going the whole night. We have people from California who said verbatim that if they got married, they would want Taso to fly out for it. Thank you for everything Taso; you are the BEST! - Ted and Lindsey

Our wedding day was absolutely perfect thanks to Hildegard and the SkyView staff! We planned our wedding less than a year out, and Hildegard was very accommodating and very responsive throughout the planning process - she was truly a pleasure to work with. On wedding day, we also had Jenn and Iwan helping out to make sure the day ran smoothly. We did our ceremony off-site so we cannot speak on that, but our cocktail hour and reception were absolutely awesome!

Not only with flowers - but helping design the entire day. They are so much more then florists, they completely design your wedding and help you set up AND break down.
