Carolina Wahnish Rivera Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (7 reviews)
Califon, NJ
  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style

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.

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Carolina for our wedding, and we couldn’t be happier with our decision! From the very beginning, she made us feel comfortable and at ease, which was such a relief for two people who aren’t always the most comfortable in front of the camera. Her pre-wedding connection shoot was a fantastic way for us to get to know her better and for her to understand our personalities and what we were looking for. It was a great way to break the ice and helped us feel much more relaxed on the big day. Throughout the entire process, Carolina was not only professional but also genuinely kind and attentive. She truly went above and beyond, even giving us a few sneak peek shots early, which was such a thoughtful touch and helped us relive some of the best moments right away. We couldn't have asked for a better photographer. She captured our day in such a beautiful, authentic way, and we are so grateful for all her hard work. If you're looking for someone who is not just talented but also warm and genuinely cares about making you feel comfortable and happy, we highly recommend Carolina!!

WOW, SPECTACULAR, AMAZING, FANTASTIC…These are all words we would use to describe Chris and all of Limitless Entertainment. We had the pleasure of booking Chris for our wedding during his busy schedule and we could not have made a better choice. He made sure we had everything we wanted and more! From providing music for our ceremony, reception, and after party, to all the amazing details including dancing on the clouds, cold sparklers, CO2 gun (my favorite), handouts, all kinds of lighting that really set the scene, as well as Photo Booth for our guests to help us capture the evening! He was a one stop shop which made it incredibly easy to work with only one vendor for all of our entertainment needs. He ensured all of our music was exactly what we wanted and did a fantastic job MC’ing the evening. He is incredibly personable and has a fantastic “whatever you need” attitude which ensured our day was as perfect as could be! I cannot recommend him enough for all your DJ/Entertainment needs!

The flowers were the best part of the entire day. Growing up, my grandma was a florist so flowers were one of the most important things to me. I sent Laura my vision and she took it and brought it to life. You can tell she has such passion and love for each bouquet she puts together. She is so sweet and has amazing communication. When she delivered my bouquet in the morning, she wrote me a letter and it just shows her kindness and passion. The flowers were one of the most talked about things of the night!

I’ve known Norman (and the newlyweds) for years, and watching him lead the ceremony was truly amazing. I had the pleasure of being a bridesmaid, and they honestly couldn’t have picked a better officiant! He made everything feel so warm and personal, heartfelt, and even a little fun! He gave us smiles, he gave us laughs, and he perfectly captured the couple’s personalities. Weddings can be hectic and stressful, but he made sure that on the big day they were calm, confident, and completely at ease in front of everyone. It was very natural, very organic, and I loved that. The ceremony flowed beautifully, and so many of us were smiling, laughing, and even tearing up at the perfect moments. The bridesmaids cried, the groomsmen cried, we all cried. But it was all happy tears, such a beautiful thing to be apart of! We all had such a great time, and you could just tell how much thought and care he put into making their day special. If you want someone who’s professional, warm, and makes the whole experience unforgettable, someone who’s going to reflect on your personalities and your journey as a couple, and someone to really move and make your guests feel that love in the atmosphere, Norman is the man to call!

Awarded Best of Zola
From the very beginning, Park Château made the entire wedding process feel like an absolute dream. The moment I stepped onto the grounds for the first time, I knew it was the perfect venue—I could already picture our wedding day there. As a Type A bride, I deeply appreciated how responsive and helpful Devin was throughout planning. Every question I had was answered quickly, and every concern met with care. The team was incredibly accommodating, honoring the vision we had for a meaningful, multicultural celebration. They worked with us to alter the stations so I could incorporate my Filipino heritage and allowed us to bring in soju to represent my husband’s Korean culture. Every request, no matter how detailed, was thoughtfully considered—it genuinely felt like their mission was to bring our dreams to life. On the day of the wedding, the service was impeccable. From the moment we arrived, we were treated like royalty. Danielle kept us relaxed by constantly checking on us, keeping the suite clean, steaming dresses last-minute, and making sure we were well-fed and comfortable. Once we were ready, Jeremiah and Justin took care of my husband and me with such attention, joy, and professionalism that we never once had to think or worry about a thing. They truly went above and beyond!! They made sure our hair was never out of place, carried my lipstick for touch-ups, managed my train, cape-veil with ease, shaded me from the sun, and brought cold water (with a straw for makeup!) every 30 minutes. When my dress got dirty during photos (which I was mentally prepared for!), they were on the ground scrubbing it clean and blow-drying it dry—both of them. Later on the dance floor, they cooled me down with a cold cloth and made sure I stayed hydrated, all while keeping the energy light and fun. I could go on and on because these were just a few things they took care of for us that day! They made us laugh, checked in on us emotionally, and truly felt like part of our celebration. Their presence made the day even more magical. Our guests were blown away—not just by the sheer amount of food, but by the quality and taste of everything, from cocktail hour to dinner to the drinks. Everyone thought the grounds and venue were so beautiful and it all ran so smoothly! We've had so many guests tell us it was one of the best weddings they've ever attended, and we couldn’t agree more. Park Château truly knows what they’re doing. I wish I could relive the day all over again—it was absolutely perfect. Thank you to the entire Park Château team for giving us a wedding day beyond our wildest dreams.

Carlo was THE first of our amazing lineup for our wedding. It definitely felt like it was meant to be -- I came across him completely by chance when someone I knew from college posted her wedding teaser film on FB. I do not, by any means, know that person from college all that well ... but, believe me when I tell you, watching that video brought up so many emotions that I KNEW I needed to have his team to capture our special day. Carlo was the reason that we found the perfect photographer (Victory Photographs) & DJ (Ian from Lifetime Entertainment) for our event which completed our fully stacked lineup & we couldn't be more thankful for that!! From the very beginning he was always so incredibly nice, calm, & professional ... as was his team. He truly exceeded our expectations as we were IN LOVE with both our wedding teaser & feature film. It takes us right back to that special, emotional, & absolute BEST day of our lives every time & we will continue to enjoy them for all the years to come!! Thank you for everything, Carlo!! Our dream wedding would NOT have been possible without you (literally)!!

I’m a drummer, a mother of two amazing kids, and a proud owner of an 80lb Samoyed. My passion for photography is deeply influenced by my family legacy—my grandmother was a dedicated full-time photographer who spent her life capturing and hand-coloring her own images. Growing up immersed in her art has profoundly shaped my own approach to photography. As a photographer, I'd love to capture the journey of two people in love, telling the genuine and touching story of their life together. I strive to create images that convey heartfelt narratives and reflect the true essence of your relationship and the moments you share.

Awarded Best of Zola
We LOVED doing our engagement photos with Momo! She was lovely and communicative throughout the whole process. When the forecast called for rain, she offered to reschedule, which I thought was really nice. Both my fiance and I are usually a little shy behind the camera but Momo made us so comfortable and it was easy to forget she was even there sometimes. Afterwards, my fiance couldn’t stop talking about how much fun he had (“I just got to kiss you for an hour!”). She was also great with our big, goofy dog. The pictures, which she sent in two days, exceeded all our expectations. They are so amazing and special for us to have, and everyone is gushing about them! We couldn’t be happier we went with Momo.

Our goal is to make sure you are having fun and enjoying every second of your day while we are working behind the scenes to capture every moment.

J&R Photography was the best choice for our wedding photography! From the moment we first spoke with Jenn and Ro about being one of our wedding vendors, we were immediately impressed by their friendly, and personalized communication style. They made it so easy to understand what they offer and what their photography style is (exactly what we were looking for). They truly want to be the best fit for your special day and will make sure you understand everything before booking. After we booked our date, Jenn and Ro sent us the most personalized package (including samples of their work, date night activity cards, the BEST sugar cookies personalized with our wedding date and a Starbucks gift card for wedding planning). It was the KINDEST gesture that made us feel so special and took a little bit of stress off planning! Our engagement shoot was nothing short of perfect; Jenn and Ro made us feel SO comfortable behind the camera and made us so excited for our wedding day. It was incredible getting to know them better in addition to capturing early memories. On our wedding day, they created a warm and laid-back atmosphere, making us feel like we were just having fun rather than being constantly photographed. The quality of their work is stunning - their natural, candid shots captured all the joy and special moments of our day. They sent us digital previews so quickly and even gifted us 5 8x10 prints that we came home from our honeymoon to! My cousin booked Jenn and Ro for her 2020 wedding, and I knew as soon as I saw her gorgeous photos that J&R Photography was the team for us. Five years later, we know we could not have made a better choice. We can't wait to see the rest of our photos and w e couldn't recommend them more highly!

Ashley is so talented! We knew each other before hand from school so I knew I wanted her to do my make up. We did a trial a few months before to see how we wanted to practice for the day of at her studio which was super convenient. We were able to make a few adjustments if needed. On my wedding day, she came so prepared and was able to do 9 girls in a fair amount of time. She even left me with a little lipstick to reapply after she left. I absolutely loved my make up, it was natural but classy without being caked on and I still felt like myself. I truly enjoy her company and her services. Her prices were very fair especially due to her certifications and experience. I've recommended her to many and my sister is even going to use her for her wedding!

Hi, I’m Bebe, the owner and lead coordinator of Seamless I Do’s. I’m here to turn your wedding vision into a day that feels beautiful, intentional, and completely you. My approach blends organization with creativity, making sure every detail flows effortlessly, so you can focus on celebrating, not managing timelines. I truly believe your wedding should reflect your story, and I’m honored to help bring that story to life, seamlessly

Awarded Best of Zola
Hiring Bebe was possibly the single best decision we made when planning our wedding. Planning a wedding is as stressful as they say it is and having someone you can trust to take care of the little details is so important. As soon as we hired her and met with her for the first time, my stress levels dropped dramatically. She made sure everything went well and got us back on track whenever we had any hiccups throughout the day, which are bound to happen. She got everything done behind the scenes and made us focus on having fun with our wedding party and guests so we didn’t have to worry about logistics. She also advocated for us so that we didn’t have to deal with it when we had an issue with the caterer. Even before the wedding, she helped us navigate any issues that came up, which I thought was above and beyond for a Day of Coordinator. She was a key part of bringing to life everything that we had envisioned for our day. We HIGHLY recommend going with Seamless I Do’s!

Where do I even begin? We got married at the Grain House at the Olde Mill Inn on May 23, 2024, and it was nothing short of perfect. The entire wedding planning process was made easy thanks to everyone at the Olde Mill Inn and Grain House. They are very responsive, which is crucial when planning a wedding. My grandmother and grandfather had their wedding reception here back in 1957, so I knew I wanted to meet with them to discuss having my wedding there. It was the first and only venue we met with. After going on a tour and discussing the different packages with Lea, I was sold. They take care of your accommodations, catering, bar, cake, tables, chairs, etc. My wedding planning “to-do” list was cut in half! Everyone is so accommodating and they really work with you to make sure your day goes perfectly. So many guests told us how they never experienced wedding food to this level. Everything was DELICIOUS! Better yet, we actually got to eat as the bride and groom. The property itself is gorgeous. John was our Matre d’ and he was the best! He made sure we stayed on time, he ran food from the cocktail hour to me and my husband when we were taking photos, and he coordinated with our vendors so we didn’t have to worry. His efforts did not go unnoticed. Once again I had guests come up to me and tell me how amazing he is. I also had guests reach out after to tell me it was the best wedding they have ever been to. All of our vendors were fantastic but the Old Mill Inn and Grain House really did the bulk of the work to make it an unforgettable experience. The hotel itself was wonderful to stay in, everything was so clean and the breakfast was delicious. I wouldn’t change a thing about my wedding day, everything was perfect and I really have the Old Mill Inn and the Grain House to thank for that. I would recommend the Old Mill Inn and the GrainHouse to anyone planning a wedding. It really is the ONLY choice in my opinion. You will not be disappointed.

  • Serves Califon, NJ

I am Paul, a husband, father, and photographer serving the east coast NY, NJ, tri-state area, and available for travel worldwide. I have a joy and enthusiasm for life, love, and marriage. I love creating beautiful photos and capturing moments and memories but more importantly I love to photograph weddings and engagements because I love marriage and the love it signifies.

Awarded Best of Zola
Paul was absolutely incredible to work with! We had the pleasure of working with him for both our engagement shoot and wedding, and he made every moment enjoyable. From the start, Paul was kind, communicative, and incredibly creative. My husband and I can sometimes feel awkward in front of the camera, but Paul made us feel completely at ease. He avoided overly posed shots and instead guided us into natural, flattering poses, (but still fun and creative) which turned out stunning. We were a bit nervous about finding a great photo location without needing to drive somewhere else. We thought we might be able to take photos around the grounds; Paul arrived early and scouted out the best spots, ensuring we had the perfect backdrops for our pictures. We had a few edit requests, and Paul was more than accommodating. On the wedding day, he was meticulous in capturing all of our group photo requests and making sure no detail was missed. At the reception, Paul expertly documented all the little moments that will allow us to relive those joyful memories for years to come. We couldn't be happier with our photos!
