Storytelling by Tony & Olya

5.0

Photographer
Fine art style
Serves Budd Lake, NJ

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.

“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.”

Face Space Esthetics

Beauty professional
Team of 4
Starts at $875
Serves Budd Lake, NJ

Hi, I’m Sophie (she/they)! I'm a Makeup Artist, Licensed Esthetician, & studio owner with full-service approach to beauty. I offer skin care, waxing, and makeup services, with a team and on-location availability for weddings. My studio, Face Space Esthetics, is located inside of Sola Salons at 1607 Rt. 23 South in Wayne, NJ.

“I cannot recommend Sophie enough for wedding make up. My wife and I used Sophie as our makeup artist for ourselves, our two moms, and my sister-in-law. Getting your make up done is an intimate process and sets the tone for the entire day and with Sophie there I felt beautiful and comfortable the whole time. We were not able to do a make up trial due to my schedule so she worked with me prior to my wedding day via zoom to make sure she knew exactly what I wanted. She sent me examples and helped me articulate my vision and even tried the looks on herself so that I could see them come to life. On the day of I felt so glam and powerful. My look lasted through performances and lots of dancing and my pictures from the end of the night are still STUNNING with no touch ups required (though she did provide us with the cutest touch up kits) My wife’s style and comfort with make up is much different than mine so she did a make up trial and Sophie helped her to find a look that was “wedding glam” but still felt authentic. Our looks were very different and incredibly “us” and showed off Sophie’s range and talent. Logistically, she is a complete professional with high end products that she organizes for ease of use and hygiene. Though my make up ran much longer than intended, she had anticipated that and so we still finished exactly on time. I never felt rushed or stressed - only like an absolute queen. It was the perfect way to start my wedding day and was worth every single penny.”

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!”

The studio is dedicated to ensuring that couples have beautiful images and films that they can treasure long after their special day.

“I would give a million stars if I could. We had the most incredible experience with Anthony Ziccardi Studios as our wedding photographer at Rock Island Lake Club on May 30, 2025. From start to finish, they were everything we could have hoped for and more! We knew we wanted this photographer before we even knew what venue we would book! From the first interaction in the office, they were professional, personable, and genuinely caring. By sheer fate, we had Anthony shoot our engagement photo shoot. He took the time to understand our vision, and more importantly our personalities. Before we even got home from the shoot, we had emailed and requested he be the photographer for our wedding day (although truthfully we would have been happy with anyone on his incredible staff). On the big day, he and Karina blended seamlessly into the celebration, capturing every laugh, every tear, and every beautiful detail with such an artistic eye. They are so knowledgeable about the work and the photos that would be bested, and we trusted them endlessly! Anthony and Karina made us feel so comfortable and confident, even in the most emotional and high-energy moments. They were never intrusive but always right there when it counted, capturing magic without us even realizing it. The photos? Absolutely breathtaking. Every image radiates emotion and tells the story of our day so perfectly. We couldn’t stop smiling (and tearing up) as we looked through them. They delivered not just pictures, but memories frozen in time...and as I write this I've only seen a handful. We cannot wait to receive the rest! We truly couldn’t imagine having had anyone else by our side for this once-in-a-lifetime moment. Anthony Ziccardi was more than just a vendor—he is now a friend and truly felt like family. If you're lucky enough to book them for your wedding, do it. It was hands down one of the best decisions we made for our special day. Thank you, thank you, thank you for being such a meaningful part of our celebration!”

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 :)

“Where do I even begin to express the sheer delight of working with DJ on my wedding day? From the moment we first met, I knew I was in for something special. DJ's exceptional skills as a photographer not only met but exceeded all my expectations, making my wedding day an absolute dream come true! From the very start, DJ's warm and personable nature put everyone at ease. It was like having a girlfriend by our side, capturing every precious moment. As the day unfolded, her talent shined through, beautifully capturing the essence of our emotions and the magic of the occasion. The candid photos DJ captured are my absolute favorite! DJ's ability to handle even the most rambunctious of groomsmen was nothing short of amazing. She effortlessly navigated through the challenges of the day. Even with a group of boys who had indulged in a bit too much, DJ skillfully guided them into perfect poses, resulting in some of the most cherished and candid shots. Throughout the entire process, DJ displayed a level of patience and professionalism that left a lasting impression. She expertly orchestrated the wedding party, ensuring everyone was organized and ready for their moment in front of the camera. The way she managed to capture everyone’s personality while maintaining the cohesiveness of the group shots was truly commendable. There was not one person missed! DJ made sure I had a photo was each family member, which I am extremely grateful for. It felt as though DJ was more than just a photographer; she became an integral part of our wedding day, seamlessly blending in with our friends and family. The rapport she built with us was evident in the photographs! In the end, the pictures surpassed anything I could have imagined. DJ's talent and dedication to her craft have given us a treasure trove of memories that we will cherish for a lifetime. Her ability to create such a relaxed and enjoyable experience on our special day truly made all the difference. I can wholeheartedly say that DJ is not only an incredibly photographer but also a wonderful person, and I would recommend her to anyone seeking a photographer who can turn their wedding day into an absolute masterpiece! You can see capturing moments is what she LOVES to do!”

“David’s Country Inn exceeded our expectations from beginning to end! After visiting multiple venues, the moment we stepped inside, we were captivated by its charm and knew it was the perfect choice for us. Opting for a Thursday wedding turned out to be a fantastic decision! On our special day, the staff was exceptional, the food was delicious and served promptly, and the cocktail hour was filled with all our selected dishes, while the bar staff efficiently managed the crowd. They also have a fantastic selection of preferred vendors! Our event coordinator, Kristian, along with Maitre'Ds Brenda and Brandon, were simply outstanding! Their communication, both via email and on the day itself, was seamless. Everything unfolded even better than I had envisioned! I did encounter a decor hiccup with the arch behind my sweetheart table, which my husband had crafted. On the wedding day, I was trying to adjust it when Brenda noticed my struggle. She immediately stepped in, reassured me, and took charge of the situation. Thanks to her, the arch turned out beautifully, just as I had hoped, and I was so relieved! I truly don’t know what I would have done without her help. Choosing DCI for our wedding was the best decision we could have made, and our day was absolutely flawless! We wholeheartedly recommend them!”

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!”

Born on Valentine’s Day, I've always had an undeniable affinity for love & romance! With over a decade of experience in the wedding & event industry, I can truly say I still get gooey over each and every wedding I do. To me, there is no greater honor than to be apart of someone's love story. I've planned & executed a wide range of weddings, from intimate ceremonies to large-scale events, and have a reputation for creating uniquely tailored events that exceed my client's expectations. xoxo, Daphne Ashley

“We love Daphne Ashley Events!! We opted for the full planning service and have worked with Shay for over a year, she really helped us throughout the wedding planning process that it made our lives so easy and much less stressful than if we did it on our own!! During the day it went on so smoothly since it was Daphne and Shay working as a team. It was such a magical and special day and we can’t thank them enough!”
