Awarded Best of Zola
We had such an easy time working with Enchanted Celebrations staff that I would jump at choosing them again! Blair and Summer were professional, thorough, empathetic and communicated very clearly all the different features of the videography plans so that we felt like we chose the right plan for our wedding day. 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. Edwin’s style was spot-on with what we imagined and the videos came out beautiful and so much quicker than we expected them. We’re delighted with our experience!

Welcome to Hidden Gem Visuals! We are are an Award Winning Photography Company and provide services to NJ, NY, PA, and CT. The owner, Geoff (Jeff), will personally be the photographer at your wedding to ensure everything goes smoothly!

Awarded Best of Zola
I have nothing but good things to say about Geoff and his colleague, Alan. Geoff from the very beginning was so responsive and accommodating. As someone planning a week worth of wedding events on their own, it was a daunting task. Geoff only served to alleviate some of that stress. Geoff captured photos for our engagment, my mehndi and haldi, as well as our Vivah Sanskar, and Christian ceremony and reception during fourth of July 2025 weekend. Each shot is so beautiful and I believe captures our love and our families so well. This will definitely not be the last time we choose to work with Geoff.

When you hire Jamie you actually GET Jamie as your photographer on your wedding day! Why? 1. I LOVE photographing weddings! (I don’t want to send someone else to “do it for me” 🤪) 2. If you’re reading this, then you’re at the stage right now where you are researching individual photographers style, reading reviews showing their reputation, and scheduling a call to research their personality while sharing your vision. …. Now imaging doing all that work just for a “team member” or “an associate” photographer to show up on your wedding day? CRAZY RIGHT?! When you hire Jamie, your date is locked in FOR YOU, no unwanted surprises!

Awarded Best of Zola
Jamie was amazing! She brought so much enthusiasm to every part of the process from our engagement shoot to the big day. She helped us visualize the full timeline from start to finish, and her artistic eye and direction made us feel completely at ease in front of the camera. The photos are stunning—capturing every moment from getting ready to our bubble exit, and she stayed through the very end with no extra fees. Our album is gorgeous and such a special keepsake from the day. We can’t recommend Jamie enough!

If you want authentic, beautiful photos done by someone who truly cares about what she does, Shelby is the one you want! From the moment we set up our first call with us it was clear that she really wanted to get to know what makes my husband and I, us. This lead to some amazing photos for both our engagement and wedding. She was so efficient through out the whole process and her timeline was flawless. I can not recommend her enough! I can't wait to get back our wedding video because I know that it will be just as amazing as our photos.

Carolina Wahnish Rivera Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Avenel, NJ

When I was a little girl, my favorite part about making the trip to Argentina to visit my grandparents, was rummaging through their old boxes of prints on a rainy day and just imagining life through those photos. I think that's what started my passion for photography. Knowing that a photo can have such an impact on a child, someone who hasn't even met you yet, makes taking them all the more meaningful. I am passionate about making meaningful images for others because I know how important those photos will be in the future.

Awarded Best of Zola
Choosing a photographer was easy because Carolina came HIGHLY recommended by a good friend. From our very first phone call, I knew that I was in good hands, and that I was now working with an artist. Carolina offers a complimentary “connection session” just to get to know you as a couple before your big day. This was a fantastic touch and also served as “save the date” photos. It also made me feel so at ease on the day because I already knew how we would be photographed. The day of the wedding! Carolina captured what we agreed on, standard family photos and such. But I also told her to just “do her thing” because at this point, I had seen her work. I’m so glad I did, because she really knows how to find the candid moments. The moments in between, using natural light and shadows, creating art with different lenses and imagination. When I saw the finished work, I was floored. I now have the best of both worlds; standard traditional photos for friends and family, but also artistic, special and dare I say editorial photos that I cherish even more. My friend already booked Carolina for her upcoming wedding. I am so happy with my choice and I hope everyone I know uses her. Thank you Carolina !

Awarded Best of Zola
I looked into several photographers, and the low budget ones were basically bad, and the good ones were thousands of dollars. Adorable time gave us top quality photos at a reasonable price. We went out to Robert Moses beach to shoot our engagement shot, it was easy to meet up and communicate with him. He was very professional, and it was a breeze to do business. The contract signing went without a hitch. Ive posted our engagement shoot photos so you can get a good idea of the quality. My moms an amateur photographer and she really likes them as well, which is surprising since she is very picky. I'll probably update this review when the wedding pictures come in.

WHO WE ARE... Authentic? Artistic? Creative? Timeless? Nope! These are among the most overused marketing words in the wedding-photography industry. They aren't meant to capture your life. They are meant to capture sales. How do we describe our work? The same way you would describe your relationship: wild, unpredictable, playful, and - above all else - fun! Your biggest day shouldn't follow a tired script. Let us share in your vision and help you tell your story!

Nick & Kelly Photography were an absolute delight to work with for our wedding day. From the very first call, their communication style was easy, fun, comfortable, understanding, and kind. They truly took the time to get to know us and listen to our vision for the day. On the wedding day, Kelly was there with me in the bridal suite, helping me get ready while also capturing all the special moments. Nick made my husband and his groomsmen feel so at ease, and they both allowed us to be ourselves, which resulted in the most beautiful, detailed, and candid photos. Every guest mentioned how Nick and Kelly were never intrusive, yet they were always there to capture the perfect shots. We are thrilled with the quality of their work and the value they provided. We have since worked with them for additional photo shoots and cannot recommend them highly enough.

Hello there, My name is Joe Kuan and I am the creative director of Joie Elie Photography & Cinematography.

Photography by Fabienne

  • Serves Avenel, NJ

First and foremost, I care about capturing your vision. Fabienne has been passionate about photography and capturing moments of beauty long before she officially started her business. Years ago, a friend asked Fabienne to photograph her intimate backyard wedding. In doing so, she discovered that she could share her passion and talents with the world. That same year she launched her business shooting weddings, and later expanded to newborns and families after the birth of her daughter. Additionally, she has over 10 years experience in commercial photography.

Fabienne is a true artist and a true professional. She photographed my wedding, and we've worked together on many photography projects since then as well. Before planning my wedding, I didn't think that choosing a great wedding photographer was super important for me, and didn't think it would be a top priority. I was wrong! I can't believe how much I treasure my gorgeous wedding photos. Fabienne knows how to make every shot beautiful, and she's inventive and creative in her approach. Plus, she really understands the logistical challenges of a wedding and knows how to make the process as stress-free as possible. She listens to what you want, and she'll make sure that you get every photo your heart desires.

I graduated in 1993, with a BFA in Photography from University of the Arts in Philadelphia, PA. Before becoming a full-time photographer, I worked for a decade in journalism in the US and internationally as an Art Director and Creative Director at the Philadelphia Weekly, The Wall Street Journal and WSJ.com. After leaving journalism in 2004, I opened my own studio in Manhattan where I lived for 20 years, met my husband, and had twins before moving to Princeton, NJ in 2014.

Hiring Eivan’s for our wedding was a great decision! Our photographer Gregory I was professional and FUN! He kept us smiling throughout the day with his quirky personality! My fiancé does not care for photos so I’m happy we had someone working with us who could make him comfortable. He made sure to get multiple images even if it was just “one more”, it was never one more! We had actually hired a different photographer and we replaced him with this company. Worth the stress and money! If I had any tips for the company, it would be to have your photographers give a 30 minute warning before their contracted time is up. Weddings are so busy for the bride and groom, it is very easy to lose track of time. I think clients would appreciate a little heads up just so they can try and capture any photos they may have missed. Other than that, I have ZERO complaints. Such an amazing experience! 10/10 highly recommend :)
