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.

Awarded Best of Zola
We’re so glad we chose Jason. We can’t believe how beautiful our photos are. We’re both pretty awkward people and we always look silly in photos. He was so fun and encouraging. He captured every moment beautifully. We’ve never looked so graceful in our lives. We had our wedding at a campground and he arrived early and worked with us to get pictures of our friends and families in that casual setting in our casual clothes. In these pictures and in the photos of our wedding, he made beautiful use of the scenery. He got to know us as a couple and really understood our vision. He gave detailed directions but the photos still look organic and spontaneous. He was also so kind and accessible through the whole process. We didn’t have a planner and he helped us figure out our wedding itinerary even though that was definitely not his job. He has a ton of wedding experience and it shows.

Hyde Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $5,000
  • Serves Newark, NJ

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).

We cannot recommend Seth highly enough if you are looking for a wedding photographer. From our initial calls with him, and then our engagement shoot, it was clear that Seth is not only such a kind and sweet person but also a fantastic photographer. He made us feel so comfortable and at ease and was so much fun to work with—which was super important to us being that you spend such a large portion of your wedding day with your photographer. Seth brought Sarah with him as his partner on the day of our wedding and we cannot say enough good things about her as well. The two of them got the most gorgeous photos of our day and captured all of the love and joy better than we could have imagined. They were even able to wrangle our very large families together for beautiful photos that mean so much to us. There is not a better photography team out there!

Dawnpoint Studios 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $7,000
  • Serves Newark, 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.

Nathan was the photographer for my sister’s wedding and I knew I had to book him for mine! I love his kind, calming, and funny personality! His style is the classic, timeless, clear photos and he delivered! He let me run the show, but also sticked to our well thought out list of photos that we discussed prior. He was able to get in a photo session before the ceremony, but without a first look! He let me do inside and outside photos even when it was raining. He wasn’t rushing me nor pushing me for more photos! I was able to not miss the cocktail hour and he did not pressure me for night photos. Nathan and the second photographer Ana from live picture studios were the best and so talented!

Hey all you adventurous care free lovers! Thanks for being here. My name is Alyssa and I’m a nj based wedding and elopement photographer. I travel all over the US and beyond as well. When I’m not photographing weddings you can find me curled up with a fantasy book or at the gym or hanging out with my three daughters. My style of photography can be defined as documentary. I love capturing perfect moments that are happening organically as opposed to posing you through every part of your day. I like for my couples to enjoy the day as it’s happening and not stress about every second being dictated by a photographer. Let’s chat!

We first worked with Alyssa for our engagement photos and knew we had to book her for our wedding! She was responsive, kind, helpful and helped in anyway that she could on our wedding day! The turnaround time for our photos was amazing and we are so happy with the photos! We 1000% recommend Alyssa from Oceans to Mountains Photography!

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!

Michelle and Allison (her 2nd shooter) were absolutely phenomenal! We were so excited to get our photos back -they were stunning and exceeded by expectations. Michelle is a breeze to work with, and a true professional. She was able to help us navigate everything from various terrain, to family dynamics, all while calming my nerves. Several of my bridesmaids who had been in other weddings/recently married remarked that they had wished their photographer was as organized yet calm and directive as her. She wrangled a big bridal party quickly and made sure we had amazing shots. We had such a blast with her during our engagement shoot (which I highly recommend doing!) as it gave us a feel for her fun personality (along with her dad jokes) as well as how she shoots, which helped me figure out poses I liked/didn’t since I am very self conscious. We loved that she tries to take photos that reflect “in the moment joy,” rather than just a ton of posed photos (though don’t worry, she will take plenty of beautiful portraits too). She really understood the importance of capturing the spirit of the day and we are so excited our photos!!

Welcome to Dre Photography LLC! Capturing the timeless essence of your love story is our passion! With a keen eye for detail and a commitment to excellence, we specialize in creating stunning imagery that tells the unique narrative of your special day. Drawing inspiration from the beauty of love and the magic of weddings, we strive to deliver images that evoke emotion and encapsulate the essence of your relationship. Whether it's an intimate elopement or a grand celebration, we approach each wedding with professionalism, creativity, and a genuine passion for our craft.

I don't even know where to begin with Dre! Choosing your vendors is one of the most stressful tasks leading up to a wedding but let me take some of that pressure of by saying HIRE THIS MAN! Just do it. Before the wedding Dre checked in, asked what our expectations were, ran through what kind of shots we wanted and gave us some great ideas, and helped us with scheduling so we could get every picture we wanted. The day of our wedding he arrived early, introduced himself to everyone, got setup, and went straight to work. Despite never meeting in person, I instantly felt comfortable with him and knew I was in good hands. I really wanted a lot of candid shots throughout the day but was nervous that in order to do so it would require the photographer to be all up in our space and would be a distraction from getting ready and staying on task but Dre is such a professional that he was able to get any and every shot I could've wanted without us even knowing he was snapping away! Come time for the posed photos and Dre was IN CHARGE making sure everyone was where they needed to be and ready to go in order to keep the day moving as planned. The rest of the night went just as perfectly as it had started and when we got our pictures back we were just blown away at how he was able to capture every single person (187 of them) that was in attendance during the short amount of time that everyone was actually all together. Since our wedding we have stayed in touch and Dre has become more of a friend than just a wedding vendor. I even had a friend from High School reach out to me asking if I would recommend him and any chance I get to talk about our wedding photos or how incredible Dre was is a conversation I am excited to have! Like I said earlier, just do it! You will have less than no regrets!

We’ve stood in your shoes, and we know how important it is to capture a story full of meaning and heart. Our goal is to narrate the day as we see it, embracing every emotion and sentiment that unfolds. With over a decade of experience, we’ve told countless stories—sometimes we can predict the moments, and other times they surprise us. But we’re always excited to discover and capture the next amazing story.

Awarded Best of Zola
Olya and Tony are on a completely different level. It’s truly art when you watch someone love what they do. They are professionals and skilled craftsmen. For example, we originally planned to have our first look at a nearby park, but they suggested that we book a private area instead. Both my fiancé and I were skeptical and unsure if we should, since it required us to spend a little more. All I can say is that I’m glad we did. You can’t control the weather, and on the day of our wedding, it rained. Thanks to their advice, we have some of the best photos I’ve ever seen. During our first look, Tony directed me on where to stand, while Olya guided the bride. She fixed her dress when needed and noticed minor details most people would overlook. And don’t get me started on the actual wedding—Tony, like a magician, was able to capture key moments and genuine reactions. During out wedding both Tony and Olya directed us on how to stand, where we should place our hands and which way we should look. They communicated with us and coached us through each photo. Before the wedding they helped us plan a timeline and were quick to respond if we needed to make changes. The two of them are a blast to have around and the results are something else. I couldn’t be happier with how things turned out.

Hi there! I'm Bryan and I can't wait to capture the beauty of your love and the joy of your big day.

From your getting ready details to your final send off, I blend in seamlessly and document the day like a friend, keeping it fun and stress free. With a style that is timeless and not bound to the trends of the moment, I capture each couple in a unique way and I see you for you.

Working with Bryan was a joy. He is communicative, kind, relaxed, and so skilled in his art. He took the time to get to know us as a couple first and then as clients, which I'm sure helped his understanding of what we wanted and needed to capture. He knew the prompts to suggest to create gorgeous photos and was willing to work with is with the many things we wanted to try during portraits and the reception (including dealing with rain and a huge group photo where he graciously accepted standing on a chair to get the shot). He was thorough and got every shot that we asked for and used his talent and skill to give us many more that have become our favorites. The photos were given to us extremely fast and at a beautiful quality – everyone we've shown them to adores them. He was accommodating on the day and the result is nothing short of stunning – it helps us relive the day in clarity, which is priceless.

Awarded Best of Zola
We had the absolute pleasure of working with Daniel for not one, but TWO wedding days. Our wedding plans were a bit…unconventional. When we first got engaged, we decided to elope (just the 2 of us) to Ireland. However, due to logistics, we decided it would be best to sign all the legal paperwork before we departed. We also really wanted an opportunity to celebrate with our families and friends upon our return with a larger-scale party–and we wanted both days to be documented with beautiful photos that captured the different vibes of each event. Enter Daniel! We discussed our ideas with Daniel during our first consultation, and he was more than willing to make our vision a reality. He created a custom package to incorporate both days, and was excited to capture two very different events for us. In the months of planning that followed, we were beyond appreciative of his patience, understanding, and flexibility as we navigated the various concepts for what both unconventional wedding days would look like. Before we get to any of that though, we have to talk about our engagement photo shoot. As big fans of professional wrestling, we wanted to somehow incorporate that into the photos. So we contacted Warriors of Wrestling, a local promotion here on Staten Island, and they agreed to let us use their ring for the shoot! This was a first for Daniel, and he was thrilled to have the opportunity to do something different. He made us look like real superstars that day, and the images he captured are some of our all time favorites. A few weeks prior to our “first” wedding day in June of ‘23, Daniel met with us at our home to get an idea of the layout and review the timeline. We then went to Fort Wadsworth park, where the post-ceremony photos would be taken, and scouted out the best locations for photos. By the time the actual day arrived, everything was perfectly planned out, and Daniel’s amazing photos really captured the intimate nature of our living room ceremony with 10 family members looking on. We capped the night off with a trip to Duffy’s Tavern – a local Irish bar – where we got some great photos of us enjoying huge burgers and pints of Guinness! Daniel was by our side the whole time, and he helped make the day so special. Fast forward a few months and it was finally the day of our reception! Our family, friends, and co-workers all gathered at the Nassau Inn in Princeton NJ to celebrate us. Right in the middle of it all, of course, was Daniel, capturing moments in time that we will cherish forever. His photography truly is art, and you can see his passion for this through his lens. The photos that stand out the most from our reception are the shots on the dance floor. We feel that one place Daniel’s talent shines brightest is his ability to tell an entire story in one click of the shutter–and the photos of ourselves and our loved ones having a blast truly encapsulate the feelings we had in those moments. Through it all, we feel Daniel became an honorary family member thanks to his enthusiasm and genuine investment in telling our love story. Our photos are EVERYTHING we were hoping for and more. We cannot recommend Daniel enough.

Hi there! I’m Djaniella (or dj for short). I love storytelling, adventures, and creating connections with people. I’m attracted to a meaningful image, and being able to relive that moment in my mind. A coffee shop and an ice cream parlor is always on my list whenever I visit a new town. I love the sound of waves crashing along the shore, I love people-watching, I love basketball, I love spending time with my family, and I love good food. Thanks for visiting! Let’s work with each other :)

Awarded Best of Zola
Our experience with Djaniella was amazing from the start. Our engagement shoot where we first met gave my husband and I the utmost confidence of our decision to book with Dj. She is fun, cool, calm, and creative- something we prioritized in finding our photographer. Our wedding day was obviously stressful and at times overwhelming, however Dj was always there and effortlessly brought calm into the room. She was highly complemented by our friends and family for being so kind and easy to work with. Clearly her work is incredibly beautiful as well, when she delivered "sneak peak" photos (the same night as the wedding may I add), both my husband and I were tearful. Of all of our vendors, I felt the most comfortable and myself throughout the day when with her. We would book her a million times over again, I cant recommend her enough!

Hi, I’m Andrea! a Latina wedding film photographer based in NJ/NYC. With 7 years in portrait photography and 2 years dedicated to weddings, I’m passionate about capturing love stories. Weddings inspire me as they are unique moments where communities unite in pure joy and love. Being part of the LGBTQI+ community, I ensure my space is safe and welcoming for all marriers. When not behind the camera, I love traveling back home, crocheting, taking care of my chosen family, and creating in my photo lab! Each moment I capture is a testament to my love for love.

I am a photo-documentary wedding photographer, specializing in capturing all the authentic and unscripted moments of your wedding day. With over 10 years of experience, I've proudly photographed hundreds (and hundreds) of weddings in NJ, NYC and destinations worldwide. Though my photography work has been published in magazines, and I've garnered my fair share of awards over the years, my proudest achievement till this day was when my youngest son finally learned how to ride a two-wheeler. I mean, c'mon: that's pretty awesome, right?

Cannot recommend Ben enough! We did our engagement pictures with Ben ahead of our wedding and they were 1000/10. He is a master at finding the perfect lighting and did the perfect mix of the more modern photos we love and the more traditional ones our parents/grandparents love. My husband and I are both terrible at posing but Ben kept us comfortable and laughing our entire wedding day and made our photos look so natural! He is hilarious and brought such positive energy the entire day - everyone in our bridal party couldn’t say enough wonderful things about Ben! Ben even gave us a few preview physical prints during our reception which was such a beautiful touch! Can’t recommend Ben enough!

Joel was so wonderful to work with! He was very down to earth, easy to communicate with, and best of all, takes amazing photos! We hired Joel to take photography and videography of our wedding and we are both so so happy with the results. Joel met with us several times during the planning process in order to go through the rundown of the day with us, which helped relieved the stress of the process. The final pictures and video came back promptly afterwards, in such wonderful quality. Oh yeah, he also uses a drone with gives some of the most stunning views of the venue!

David was exactly what we were hoping for in a photographer and I couldn’t have asked for someone better to capture our perfect day. From our first phone call to getting our photos, David has been there for us and going above and beyond to help us and make sure our planning was going okay and just life in general. We were looking for a creative photographer to put their own spin on our photos and get some unique poses and shots and David checked that box over and over again. David uses modern technology to ensure he captures the best of your moments and enhances the environment around you for just an even better product. Above all, we felt like we made a friend due to David’s positive attitude, the laughs we shared, and eagerness to capture YOUR moment. He is obviously a master of his craft and I recommend him to anyone that is looking for creativity in their photos, while also still capturing classy and classic poses. David is an incredible photographer that I simply can’t recommend enough.

Awarded Best of Zola
Orchard Street Photography was a preferred vendor on a list that our venue (The North Shore House) provided to us. After speaking with Julian for the first time, it was an instant match. My husband and I explained that we were looking for an authentic, unstaged, photojournalistic depiction of our wedding day. When we looked at the pictures, we wanted to be able to feel exactly how we felt that day. We got married last week and from the sneak peaks that we’ve seen Julian and Sarah captured that, despite inclement weather! We couldn’t imagine our wedding without either of them! We had two photographers for 8 hours, which was able to cover getting ready photos, the ceremony, family portraits, and the reception. Never having planned a wedding before, Julian was completely honest with us, shared his professional opinions, and advised based on our requests. His laid back demeanor, go-with-the-flow attitude and artistic vision complemented our day perfectly. We had three children in our wedding party and he was so great with them as well. From the two pictures they’ve shared on social media, they’ve captured exactly what we wanted. Can’t wait to see the rest! Book this Orchard Street, I promise you won’t regret it!

My name is Jia, I am a lover of Seafood, Peking Duck, and Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Lattes. I also love to see people smile. I believe that all smiles are contagious, this is why I chose wedding photography: it magically makes me smile more. I love the warm sunlight and true emotions from both the bride and the groom. Now looking back, I am really thankful that clients appreciate my artistic vision more than my professional equipment. PS: Personally, I’d avoid the moon but I am more than happy to photograph you anywhere on earth. :)

Awarded Best of Zola
I don’t even know where to begin to describe just how amazing Jia is as not only a photographer but a videographer as well. I had initially found him through my best friend Sam, who he had done BOTH photo and video for, and I was blown away by his amazing work. He was kind enough to do the videography for my wedding and I am so grateful that he did. Not only does he do amazing work, but he is professional, kind, pays attention to every detail, and he ended up being the life of the party at the wedding. All of my guests adored him, and he made everyone feel so comfortable. When my husband and I received our video, we were both in tears. You can really tell how much time and effort Jia put into it. If you are in search of a photographer or videographer do not hesitate to book Jia from Frame Your Love Photography. You surely will not regret it!! attached are some screen shots from my wedding video because they are just too good not to share.

Blooming Faith Photography was a MUST HAVE vendor for our wedding. I would have rescheduled if she wasn’t available!

Hi, my name is Ryan, thanks for checking out my work! I am very passionate about photography and I am extremely fortunate to make a living doing it! I’ve held a camera in my hands almost all my life, but I’ve been a professional NJ wedding photographer since 2005. Getting married? I’d love to be a part of your day! After capturing hundreds of weddings in the NJ area, there are very few venues that I’m not familiar with, chances are I’ve been to yours multiple times! I’m also available for engagement shoots, portraits, head shots, and family photos.

The best decision I made on my wedding day was marrying my husband. A close second was using Ryan (Artemis Photo) as our photographer. If you're searching for a true professional, then look no further. Ryan was my most responsive vendor, getting back to me right away and always courteous and professional. My husband does not enjoy getting photos taken but he agrees that Ryan made the process as painless for him as possible and the results are STUNNING. We couldn't recommend him more!!

Spend your day having fun, not posing for photos. My approach is to focus on capturing what's really happening, so you can focus on making memories and I can deliver effortless, natural looking photos.

I can’t recommend Jess enough! From the moment we booked her, she made everything so easy and relaxed. On the day of the wedding, she was a total pro—super attentive and really took the time to understand the vibe we were going for. She gave us just the right amount of direction to make sure we looked our best, but also let us be ourselves and enjoy the day. The photos came out absolutely stunning—she perfectly captured the emotions and all the little details we wanted. We couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. If you’re looking for someone who’s not only talented but also makes you feel totally comfortable, Jess is your person!

My name is Christopher Kayfield. I’m a professional photographer working in the NYC and Philadelphia areas. I focus on personality, humor, and sincerity. I deliver what is essentially a visual storybook, capturing the day’s narrative.

We couldn’t be happier we that chose Chris to be our wedding photographer. He made us feel so at ease in front of the camera, and he made the process fun (even in the 90 degree July weather). Our photos are stunning- the posed photos aren’t boring or overly posed, and the candid shots make us feel like we’re reliving the day all over again. We ended up behind schedule due to circumstances out of our control, but Chris stayed late just to make sure he fully captured the day. He clearly loves what he does, and he’s one of the best. We can’t recommend him enough for your special day!

A small studio in Union NJ with big plans! I have been a photographer for 6 years working as a freelancer. Like back in the day, learning on the field is the best way to learn everything about photography. Starting a Zola is the first step to branch from a freelancer to a business owner / photographer. I'm starting my own business for my baby, Xavier. Working at your wedding helps me be with my family longer.

Davide and his entire team were incredible and professional. He also did our engagement photos which helped us break the ice prior to the big day. On the day of our wedding his entire group was a blast to work with. Even when my nephew was crying and refusing to take photos, they were patient and made the family photos work! I could rave on and on about how amazing they were and how they made two awkward photo takers quite comfortable!
