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.

Hyde Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $5,000
  • Serves Oakland, 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 had the pleasure of having Seth AND Nicole photograph our wedding at Nostrano Vineyards. They are the perfect team and make everyone feel comfortable. We have received endless compliments about our engagement pictures and the ones from our wedding. I’m not a person who is comfortable in front of the camera and from the first moment of our engagement shoot, Seth made me feel nothing BUT comfortable. I instantly knew we made the right decision for our wedding day. It was only magnified once we heard Nicole would be joining us that day. Leading up to the day , Seth and Nicole brought their expertise to not only aid in the schedule of the day but also to ensure we got the absolutely most stunning pictures possible. From sunset pictures in the vineyard, to getting a wide range of scenery around our venue, it was so comforting to know that we were in the best possible hands. There’s no better photographer team to go with.

Dawnpoint Studios 

5.0

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

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!

I was the maid-of-honor in two weddings who had Michelle as their photographer and 4 years later I knew that I wanted her as mine. She is an amazing person to work with, extremely helpful throughout the entire process, and a super talented photographer. She listened to my special requests and accommodated my very large bridal party perfectly in photos. She also isn’t afraid to take a quick detour to capture beautiful scenic photos! My husband and I felt extremely comfortable with Michelle and Allison which is super important since the photographer is the one vendor you are with for the entire day. Hiring Michelle was the easiest decision we had to make during our wedding planning!

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
Working with Tony and Olya was beyond anything we could have imagined. They didn’t just capture our wedding day at Hudson House in Jersey City—they immortalized it in the most stunning, breathtaking way possible. From our first look, with the city as our backdrop, to every intimate, emotional moment, they transformed what was a rainy day into a masterpiece of light, emotion, and beauty. Every shot, every angle was perfect. Before the wedding, I had the chance to meet with Olya, and that made all the difference. She took the time to sit down with us and really listen to what we wanted. We talked through our vision for the day, and Olya helped shape that vision into something even better than we imagined. She also worked with us to create a timeline that kept everything running smoothly without ever feeling rushed. Her professionalism and creativity were exactly what we needed, and it gave me so much confidence going into the big day. Olya was also incredible during the getting ready process. She was so attentive to every little detail—the dress, the shoes, the rings, and all the small, meaningful touches that might have been overlooked. She captured everything beautifully, and her calm, professional presence helped me feel relaxed in the midst of all the excitement. It felt like having a close friend there who just happens to be an extraordinary photographer. During our engagement session in Curaçao, Tony and Olya made us feel like absolute superstars. We weren’t just taking photos—we were living a dream. They even created a short video alongside the session, and it’s something so deeply beautiful that we’ll show it to our children and their children. It was an experience we’ll never forget, and neither will anyone else who sees their work. Their ability to direct us, make us feel comfortable, and anticipate moments is nothing short of magic. Tony and Olya work together with such seamless synergy, always one step ahead, making sure every single detail is captured beautifully. From the very first planning stages to the final shot, they took care of everything—keeping the timeline, offering ideas, and helping us relax, while making every moment an experience to savor. Tony and Olya are worth every single penny. The way they captured the essence of our love, the laughter, the tears, and the joy—it’s priceless. I can’t imagine anyone else I’d trust to capture all of our future milestones, because I know that they’ll always go above and beyond. If you’re looking for photographers who will not just meet your expectations but blow them out of the water, look no further. Tony and Olya’s passion, talent, and energy are unmatched. I am beyond excited to continue working with them for every big moment in our lives. They are truly one of a kind.

Hi there! I'm Bryan and I can't wait to capture the beauty of your love and the joy of your big day. I've been photographing weddings for nine years and love working with couples interested in authentic moments and stunning portraits. 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.

Awarded Best of Zola
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.

It was seamless and not intrusive to the activities on the day, he even wore a kilt! (it was a Scottish wedding). 5 stars since I can't give 10!!

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!

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.

Upon sharing our photos, all our loved ones commented on the quality and beauty of the shots. We truly relived the day going through the pictures, and that is absolutely priceless. A million thanks, Akash, for your wonderful service!!!

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.

Melissa is amazing! My mom’s wedding was Melissa’s first about 8 years ago, my family and I have been cheering her on ever since! When I got engaged I knew immediately who I was going to call for our photos! A total bonus an engagement shoot was included in her wedding package!! She was absolutely amazing to work from start to finish. Great communication the entire time, very helpful and very good under pressure. A few things did not go our way on our wedding day due to weather and time but Melissa immediately had an idea on what to do instead. To add, she’s also an amazing hype woman behind the camera and definitely helped our smiles shine on our wedding day. I would give her 100 stars if I could!!

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.

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!

His professionalism balanced with his ability to lighten a room of family, friends, and a bride with a minute-by-minute itinerary helped make our wedding day perfect! It always felt like his priority was making me and my husband happy & present throughout the day, while still capturing each special moment. So many of my family and friends loved having him at our wedding, and we loved how all the photos came out! I highly recommend Christopher to any couple!!

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.

I got the Photo / Video / DJ package deal with free selfie booth. They came an hour early to make sure everything was setup, I even got an extra hour of photos taken while the videographer was putting together his gizmo. He recommended Drawlines Studio for video which they did a fabulous job putting the video together. There DJ was perfect, had a speaker system for the ceremony and for the venue. The fog machine, sparklers and TVs really made my moments with my husband and dad special. The wedding album and parent albums are such good quality. Over all everything was perfect. Thank you for everything!!

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Adam as our wedding photographer, and he was one of the best vendors we hired. Our wedding was in June at Greenpoint Loft, and Adam made the day even more special. From start to finish, Adam was incredibly chill and a calming presence on our wedding day, which was exactly what we needed. In the months leading up to our wedding, Adam was extremely communicative, always quick to respond and willing to go above and beyond. He provided us with excellent recommendations for other vendors and was always happy to answer any questions we had, even those unrelated to photography. On the day of the wedding, Adam's sweetness and flexibility were evident. He made sure to accommodate our schedule and captured all the special moments throughout the day. We especially loved that he offered the option to add 35mm film, which we did, and those turned out to be some of our favorite pictures. His dedication and professionalism were truly appreciated. Additionally, Adam's turnaround times were super quick. He provided us with our first look photos within 18 hours, and we received the full album in less than a month. We highly recommend working with Adam. He made our wedding day even more memorable, and we are grateful for his outstanding service.

Based in Jersey City, I've been photographing weddings since 2010. I have two degrees in photography and wouldn't change a moment of what I do or how I got here. I spent 5 years producing celebrity photo shoots for magazines like Time Out and InStyle, so keeping cool under fast-paced pressure is kind of my thing. I'm always trying to push the envelope with what I do, whether that's finding a way to make better photos or optimize your experience with me.

Lauren is the absolute GOAT. Her photography style drew us to her, and then her professionalism, excellent organization, fun personality, and take charge yet flexible attitude made us die-hard Lauren fans. I loved working with her so much that I also hired her to work on my business' branding shoot. And honestly, how could I work with anyone else after working with the greatest of all time? Thank you x a million to Lauren for making our wedding photography an absolute dream from start to finish!
