Hi!! I'm Brit. I am a New Jersey wedding and portrait photographer. Photography is by far my first love. We have a relationship that is constantly growing, learning, and becoming stronger. I love learning about others, creating images to last a lifetime, and capturing moments between you and your partner! Also, you can inquire on my website for more information such as pricing and galleries!

Britt was the most AMAZING photographer & person to work with for our wedding. Not only was she extremely organized & communicative but also helped immensely on the day of the wedding. She went above & beyond making sure my husband & I felt comfortable the entire time. It was 95 degrees & sunny on my wedding but Britt & Timmy managed to capture pictures throughout the entire day that look like a fairytale (even though we felt like we were melting).

Inspire Me Imagery 

5.0

Ocean, NJ
  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,399

I started in photography much as everyone else did. What was once a hobby in 2002 quickly became a passion. I started out with a 35mm film set up and would hang out in the city capturing candid moments of people going about their day to day lives. For me, it was like stepping outside the world around me and documenting it like looking through a window into a world I was no longer part of. In 2008, when I myself got married, I realized that a wedding day is one of the most emotional moments for a couple. Not only for them but for the families involved as well! It was Oct. 31st, 2008 when I shot my first wedding. I haven't looked back since.

My sister got married about a year ago and used Inspire me imagery, we had such a great experience it was a no brainer when I was planning my wedding! Lauren and her crew could not have been anymore amazing! I felt completely comfortable with her and took her lead on everything, the result were some pretty amazing photos we’ll be able to cherish forever! Shout out to Mediha and Jyoti for being a great addition to team! All smiles and there to lend a helping hand wherever needed The day started out a little shaky as most wedding days do(our wedding party was late to the venue) but once we got going we had the best time! Everyone was relaxed and having a great time, this crew captured some truly amazing and memorable moments! We’re struggling on which photos to hang up there’s so many good ones! Thank you Lauren for making our day even more special and for capturing some great moments for us to cherish! Hire these guys you will not regret it!

As time came closer, Summer was diligent at working with us on the details for the day-of, and then a few days before the wedding we confirmed everything with Edwin, our assigned videographer.

My love for photography was born when I picked up a camera and started shooting street photography as a hobby. This hobby quickly took over my entire life! Thankfully, combined with my editing and retouching skills, I was able to turn my passion into a career. Owning and running Wild Hearts has been the one of my greatest joys! I love truly love capturing your real life moments and emotions. Yes I am organized as hell and type A, but balance that with heavy doses of standing back and just capturing the moment as it’s happening. I feel a real connection with all the wild hearts out there, and would love it if you let me capture yours!

Awarded Best of Zola
Wild Hearts was the best photographer you could ask for on your wedding day! Kamelia is great at communicating throughout the entire process. Ahead of the wedding day we had a comprehensive 45 min conversation before I booked her about vision. She actually helped me get a timeline set up for the day and gave me a list of other recommended vendors which I used to find my hair/makeup stylist. It was very easy because the payments were broken up over time so nothing snuck up on you. About 1 week before my fiancé and I met up with Kamelia over brunch to discuss the locations of all the shots we planned on taking, the color scheme, all family members for those photos, and to get more comfortable with each other. I really appreciated this. The day of the wedding I could ask for nothing better. Kamelia is very organized and kept the whole day running with great direction. It was easy to follow her direction to set up poses and get some candid shots. Allyson was the other photographer and really got along with the groom and the groomsmen. They knew all of the good spots around Asbury Park and the board walk to get photos. The best times that my husband and I had was when it was just us and the photographers walking around Asbury Park Boardwalk. We were all vibing having a great time and I really think that made the photos even better. They are both such lovely and professional individuals to work with and it shows. Both photographers took INCREDIBLE photos. You always want your wedding photos to turn out great but these exceeded my expectations. Every single person at my wedding has nothing but incredible things to say about the photos. I would highly recommend Wild Hearts if you are getting married in or around Asbury Park. They were beyond a pleasure to work with.

DJ Cam truly went above and beyond! As a bride who knows how to micromanage, I never felt that way with DJ Cam. He perfectly captured the music vibe my fiancé and I love and delivered an incredible performance. We wanted the music to naturally draw people to the dance floor without any emcee work, and DJ Cam nailed it with a fantastic set list. He avoided the typical "wedding-y" songs and created the party atmosphere we dreamed of. DJ Cam was super responsive via email, text, and phone, and his fun yet professional demeanor made everything smooth. He arrived early to set up and handle any potential challenges, ensuring a relaxed and enjoyable evening. We felt completely at ease knowing he had everything under control. DJ Cam is not your average DJ—he's the one to deliver an unforgettable party beat!

Awarded Best of Zola
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.

I'm Kaitlin Noel—a wife to Michael, mother to Nicholas and Ryan, and dog mom to our French Bulldog, Ellie. I’m a passionate photographer, traveler, and incurable romantic. When I’m not shooting weddings around the globe, you’ll find me in Cape May, shopping at my favorite local spots with a coffee in hand or walking on the beach. Family is everything to me and my clients are an extension of that. I could eat tacos daily, adore martinis, and decorate my home with a coastal chic inspiration. As an international photographer, I have the pleasure of traveling and experiencing new coastal towns and culters which brings me so much joy!

We hired Kaitlin Noel Photography for our September wedding in Cape May, NJ, and the experience with her and her colleague, Chris, was wonderful! From the moment you meet her to the day you receive your wedding album, you feel like a VIP. The attention to detail and the level of service and care she provides to her clients are beyond words. Her team knows what they are doing and they do it exceptionally well. For example, she was able to corral a group of 50 people, ranging in age from 7 to 90, in just 20 minutes to take a variety of church photos. If you think that's impressive, she even convinced our bridal party to pose on the beach in the blazing sun while wearing their tuxedos and gowns, capturing some truly memorable moments. At the cocktail hour and the reception, Chris was able to capture our many guests and special moments/traditions without being intrusive, ensuring that everyone felt comfortable and relaxed. The level of dedication and experience her team brings was such a stress reliever for myself and my husband throughout the entire day. It’s as if they knew what you wanted without you even having to say it. Overall, our experience was just WOW, and we would highly recommend her and her team to anyone.

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.

Choosing Monica as the makeup artist for our wedding was one of the best decisions made by far! She understood the exact look I wanted to achieve and pulled it off flawlessly. During my initial trial, Monica made me feel as if I was just hanging out with a friend who happens to be amazing at makeup, and I booked her on the spot. The day of the wedding, she was nothing short of professional and made all of my bridesmaids, mom and MIL feel extremely comfortable. Everyone was extremely thrilled with how their makeup turned out as well, which I find isn't always the case when you're a bridesmaid, and echoed my sentiment of feeling as if they were hanging out with a friend the whole time. I definitely recommend working with Monica - you won't regret it!

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.
