Fen Video Production

Matawan, NJ
  • Videographer
  • Documentary style
  • Starts at $2,000

Hello! My name is Fen, nice to meet you online! I’m a freelance cinematographer and editor. I split my time between shooting weddings and indie films. I enjoy doing both because I love the thrill of operating a camera and I love people and stories! I have shot almost 400 weddings and I edit everything myself. In my spare time I love swimming, hiking, skiing, traveling with my family, writing and learning all kinds of stuff. I’m very curious about the world!

Awarded Best of Zola
Fen went above and beyond all our expectations. We got a documentary style wedding video and she truly captured the most special parts of our day. From using a drone to multiple cameras being set up during the ceremony and first dance, Fen did it all! We saw a ton of sweet moments we may have missed and it was the best reliving every second of our special day watching our video. The background music she chose was beautiful, and the sound was crisp and clear. There wasn’t a part that she missed! Fen blended right in! We hardly noticed the camera out so she truly got some really candid moments. We could not recommend Fen more! Her work is beautiful and she is extremely kind and calm—definitely someone you want around on your day!

MTC Photography 

5.0

Matawan, NJ
  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,900

I have been photographing weddings since 2008. As the wedding industry has evolved over the years so has the wedding photography aspect. Trends as in the past have long gone and newer more non traditional styles have evolved. As photographers, we have to continue to learn and hone our craft like most careers. The "MTC" stands for not only my initials but also stands for " Moments To Capture" I'd like to think that at every wedding, event, etc we are capturing moments and creating lasting memories. At the same time however, we are enjoying the day with our couples and making sure they have the best experience we can give them. Lets have fun!

I’ve worked weddings with MTC Photography since 2012 - Manny and his team are by far my favorite to work with. They respect other vendors schedules (which is rare), never invade personal space and are not only professional, but also so much fun to work with! You know the moment Manny arrives - he always livens up the room and gets everyone excited. They know how to keep everyone on track and on schedule, without creating stress. I also love how the style of the photos are timeless and true to color, which I love reposting because they really show off my work nicely (as opposed to light and airy presets). I could not recommend a better company and always recommend them to my clients.

Chrys is THE BEST of the best!!! I cannot sing her praises enough. Not only is she the sweetest person, she is professional and fun!! Chrys made me feel like an absolute goddess on my wedding day. Chrys came highly recommended from a friend and I couldn’t be more grateful for that recommendation. Chrys and her team had their hands full with 18 ladies for hair, 16 for make up and my bridal hair and make up. They were finished ahead of schedule and absolutely rocked every single head of hair and face of make up. I have a few people close to me who are not fans of getting their make up done and they couldn’t have been happier with the results. Everyone’s make up looked flawless and everyone’s hair absolutely stunning. Book Chrys and her team for every event you have!!! You will not be disappointed !!

If you are looking to have a wedding where your guests do not leave the dance floor the entire night - look no further because JB Pro Live is who you need!! Our DJ, Jan, absolutely exceeded all expectations we had as a DJ for our wedding day. When we met with him before the wedding, we gave him a few of our favorite songs but told him to use his discretion as what was most important to us was having everyone dancing and enjoying themselves. WELL, did he know what he was doing!!! Our dance floor was filled the ENTIRE NIGHT. We had 220 guests at our wedding, and 0 of them were sitting. We have guests who didn't even know we had a photo booth or voicemail booth because they truly did not leave the dance floor one time to look around. Jan reads the room perfectly and truly has a niche for knowing what people like to hear. Our MC Matt was also so great! He helped keep the night on track and made sure we were enjoying ourselves the entire time. He was fun, entertaining, and kept the vibes going! We have had 10 guests ask for our DJs information so they can book him for their own wedding because he really was just that good. After just the first dance set alone, our guests were excited and ready to party because he set the tone perfectly! We also booked a saxophonist through JPBRO as well as a dry ice machine, indoor firework fountains, and the snow effect and they were all perfect! The snow was by far the best addition! It was practically real snow (way better than what we were expecting) and all of our guests went crazy over it! The saxophonist was also a great touch and played practically every song throughout the night which our guests loved! And of course the dry ice machine and indoor firework fountains looked so great in our wedding pictures! Request Jan as your DJ- he is worth every penny and you will not regret it!!! He is absolutely a pro at what he does and you can guarantee that with him, not only will you have the best night of your life, but your guests will as well!

Working with Mandy was an absolute dream! For my makeup trial, I gave her a reference photo and she copied it exactly. She took my very minimal comments from the trial and implemented them perfectly for the big day—I’ve never felt so beautiful! I love Mandy’s style because I’m not someone who wears makeup regularly, and she made sure I still felt like myself. She enhanced all my features in such a natural, effortless way. My makeup put stayed all night and looked fantastic in photos. Mandy was also incredibly professional and organized. She provided a detailed timeline for myself, my bridal party, mom and (now) mother-in-law for the wedding day, which was so helpful for coordinating with my hair artist and keeping everything running smoothly. She was always prompt and responsive via email. I can’t recommend Mandy enough!

It’s movie magic with Jesse. He is a kind and professional videographer who has experience with a lot of events so even with unexpected things that may come up, he knows how to roll with it and capture your special moments. The quality of his equipment is unreal meaning that it is so sharp and he also has a drone. He traveled from NJ to my Brooklyn wedding and was on time. The package also came with blu-ray DVDs which had chapter bookmarks so we can go to the important moments. But the nicest personal touch was a customized USB drive he sent that had our names engraved! These pics are screenshots from our highlight film. One thing I wish I would have specified is to get more footage of our family and friends - while it was nice to have a focus on us in some moments, I wish we talked through that so I could have soaked in more but I also know the limits to having one videographer. I think he has a separate editing team especially when it’s busy season but it would have been nice to know if he wasn’t the main person stitching it together as we communicated on vision. My lesson learned is stick with the typical 2-month turnaround and don’t try to get it sooner like I did in my contract because he makes really good quality videos but it’ll take time if you want it done right. Overall, you will not regret hiring him for your wedding - you will also feel comfortable around him which is important!

Monica Nguyen Makeup

  • Beauty professional
  • Serves Matawan, NJ

Monica Nguyen has been a makeup artist for 9 years working backstage at runway shows and on set for fashion, editorial, and commercial shoots. Her career began in the wedding industry, which is still a big part of what she does today. The biggest joy she receives is knowing she is there to pamper and take care of the person sitting in her chair, especially on one of the most important days of their life. No event is too big or too small as she places great importance on each and every one of them.

Awarded Best of Zola
First of all, I discovered Monica’s Instagram page through a mutual friend, who is a stylist at the top of her game (hair). Browsing through Monica’s posts, I immediately loved her work - every look she created was flawless - smooth and natural, while highlighting and accentuating each subject’s best features. And that’s exactly what I wanted for my wedding look - to be my most beautiful, flawless SELF; to look amazing but still look like myself. When I asked my friend/hair stylist for her opinion of Monica’s work, she appropriately referred to it as “true artistry”. Fast forward to my wedding day. After having had one makeup trial with Monica trying to incorporate some of my wedding hues (at my request) months prior, I decided on the morning of my wedding that I wanted to go for a different palette (warm and neutral) and an overall different look. Not only was Monica unphased by this last minute (and, for me, daring) change of plans, but she effortlessly executed the look beyond my expectations. I was admittedly a little nervous when I made the request that morning (I felt bad putting her on the spot like that), but i was confident in Monica’s talent and I was also reassured and calmed by her laid back and warm nature. And it seems that it was all meant to be. I have never looked and felt as beautiful as I did that day. I received countless compliments and to this day am still reminded of how “stunning” I looked, all thanks to Monica. People have sought out her services through me, and I will always keep her on speed dial for special occasions. Six years after having had the pleasure of booking Monica, I still occasionally browse through her portfolio and see that she continues to do it all (from weddings to editorial and fashion week). I’m impressed by her professionalism and humility with all her clients; she’s true to her craft, and gives every client the VIP treatment she believes is deserved.

We were thrilled to have FindOrion Photography as our wedding photographers. From the beginning, Claire and her team were prompt, friendly, and incredibly creative in their approach. They were professional, communicative, organized, and truly comforting to work with throughout the entire process. Claire was a huge part of our surprise wedding, and she totally understood the assignment, bringing our unique vision to life with us. She was so patient with our guests and worked seamlessly alongside us the entire time. The best moments of the day were perfectly captured, and we will cherish the amazing work they did for us on our wedding day.

Being able to look back, remember the great laughs, and reminisce a particular night is what we all look forward to. Our goal is to help everyone remember one of the best nights by telling your story through our eyes. There is no better compliment than for you to show your loved ones what happened through one of the best days of your lives.

Victor with Victory Photographs was a lifesaver after we had issues with our original photographer and had to find a replacement. He was responsive, kind, and respectful in all of our communications leading up to the big day. On the wedding day itself, Victor struck the perfect balance between guiding us to get great photos while also letting my husband and I enjoy our reception. His friendly demeanor put us at ease. The end results speak for themselves - Victor captured all of the special moments of our wedding beautifully with his high quality work. My husband and I felt relieved knowing we were in good hands with Victor. We'd highly recommend him to any couple looking for a talented, professional photographer who also makes you feel comfortable in front of the camera.
