Hi, I’m Heather! (that's me on the left) I'm a wedding photographer with a deep passion for capturing the genuine moments and raw emotions that make each wedding day so special.

My goal is to not just take pictures, but to tell the unique love story of each couple I work with, from the grand moments to the quiet, intimate details. My husband is a wedding videographer. So, if you are also looking for video, look no further!

We're great at tying bow ties and we won't forget the bourbon, cigars and music.

Awarded Best of Zola
Doorbell Barbers did an incredible job on haircuts for both my husband and me, as well as our groomsmen. Our hair has never looked better! Christian was not only an amazing barber but also truly kind and understanding of our time constraints, even accommodating some last-minute changes without any hassle. His pricing was more than fair for the quality of work and level of professionalism. The whiskey and cigar treatment made our groomsmen happier then ever, and the mini-facials were something that truly helped calm the nerves on the big day! What really stood out was how compassionate and flexible Christian was when unexpected, and incredibly tragic, circumstances forced us to postpone our wedding for a year. He handled everything with such grace and made the rescheduling process stress-free during a very challenging time. We couldn’t have asked for better service or a more thoughtful experience. Thank you, Doorbell Barbers and Christian, for making our big day look and feel amazing. Highly recommend!

Josh was a great communicator and really understood from the beginning what we were wanting. Josh was also very helpful with timeline for the day and had great suggestions.

The quality of videos were amazing. After watching our ceremony video we were impressed with the sound quality and we were astonished by how many cameras he had around without us knowing they were there. Him and his team went above and beyond on our wedding day and showed real professionalism throughout the whole day. Josh was good on his delivery of videos from the sneak peak to the actual videos he sent. If you are thinking about getting a videographer don’t hesitate to book Buxton Media Production.

Hey there, I'm Jordany Almonte, but you can call me "Jordan" – a friendly guy based in the state of New Jersey with a passion for life and a big heart for family. I take immense pride in being a devoted husband and a proud father; they are the driving force behind everything I do. To me, photography is more than just capturing images; it's a way of feeling, touching, and loving the world around me. What I capture in the film holds the essence of the moment, preserving memories that we can cherish forever. Those little things, often overlooked, can bring floods of emotions long after our other memories have faded.

The attentiveness, selections and understanding of what we wanted to achieve with our portraits, were a blessing. And to also meet our budget was the icing on the cake!!!

Hi, I'm Danny! My passion is to capture couples & their love story in a timeless way. I like to describe my style as a fusion between story-telling & editorial. I lean into true-to-life colors with a warm ambience and posing that's timeless but also interwoven with an editorial flare that's unique, artistic, and stylish. I also love incorporating story-telling stills that involve movement rather than a bunch of photos that feel "stiff" or overly posed. Story-telling moments bring wedding galleries life! I’d love the opportunity to connect with you, and hear more about your wedding vision!!

Danny was not only extremely kind, thoughtful, fun, energetic, and easy to work with, but the photos he captured of our wedding day are so very stunning.

I don’t just film — I feel. The camera is an extension of my hand, which is why you’ll rarely see me using a tripod. I’m drawn to movement, emotion, and authenticity. It’s never about the perfect pose — it’s about capturing real moments as they unfold. My style is simple and human. I create a relaxed space where even the shyest people feel safe to open up. If I see someone holding back, I gently guide them — helping them loosen up, feel seen, and express themselves naturally, without pressure or force. This approach helps create a comfortable atmosphere, which allows for raw and genuine moments to shine.

We escaped from everyone to get married in Las Vegas and wanted someone with us who could do both photos and videos. We have never regretted choosing Konstantin; we were in various locations including Nelson Ghost Town Movie Ranch and Red Rock, and we got married in a Las Vegas church. Everything was just as we wanted, and this guy has quite a sense of humor. Thanks to him, we felt like we had just had a glass of wine—relaxed, beautiful, touching, and feeling like stars of a big movie. We highly recommend Konstantin; he's a genius who doesn't like standards, he loves his work, and it's very important for him to provide his clients with awesome results.

Margaret was better than I could’ve asked! Leading up to the day she was so easy to communicate with. She created a timeline for the day and any thoughts I had she took them into account and found a way to incorporate them into the plan. Truely felt like a team because of how kind and thoughtful she is. Get to the day, she was a calming presence for sure. She showed up with a smile on her face and seamlessly cued the bridesmaids and myself throughout. She was present but didn’t hover it was the perfect balance. Along with that she was my hype girl throughout it 3 Now let’s talk about the pictures, I’m not used to getting my picture taken and feel so uncomfortable being the center of attention but she tells you every detail you need, and if something doesn’t look right she’ll correct it gracefully in the moment. I felt like I got to enjoy my day without it feeling like a photoshoot. She delivered the pictures so fast!! A couple of my bridesmaids made comments about how fast the turnaround time was…and they were breathtaking!! Better than I ever could have imagined, I can’t stop looking at them. Not a moment was missed and due to her talent we have the most perfect picture to remind us of our special day for the rest of our lives. Do yourself a favor and book with her, worth every penny.

Brian is one of the best wedding DJs in the business. In the past two years I’ve been to eight different weddings. Brian was the DJ for three of the eight, and the party/reception component of the events was never more fun than when Brian was driving the bus. He is an east coast DJ, but he spun tracks at both of my sister-in-laws’ weddings and as we were searching for a DJ for our own wedding we reached out just to see what he would charge for a wedding in Chicago. Turns out the price was right. Brian traveled to Chicago, MC’d our entire wedding, brought all of the equipment necessary and made our day exceptional in every way. I think there are a few things that really set Brian apart from other wedding DJs. Anyone can stand there and run through a playlist, but Brian went off book a few times to match and capture the energy of the guests. As we were in the midst of the planning process he added zero stress, and just calmly walked us through the process of selecting songs. He had suggestions and recommendations along the way. He even brought an extra speaker so that we could plug our digital piano in and the pianist would be able to play loudly enough. Overall, we can’t recommend Brian highly enough. You will not regret choosing him to DJ at your wedding, party, event. Whatever it is, Brian is a huge value add and a pleasure to work with.

Zhané was an absolute pleasure to work with for my bridal hair trial! I wanted to write this early in case anyone was considering her and wanted early feedback. Her communication was always clear, efficient, and timely, putting my mind at ease throughout the scheduling process. She was very flexible with finding a time that worked with my schedule. The quality of her work and value was excellent - she truly provided a full-service experience that was both professional and fun. Zhané was particularly wonderful, as she was patient with me even though I was indecisive with what I ultimately wanted. She made sure I was comfortable and that my dreams were perfectly visualized, ensuring I looked and felt my absolute best and I knew then that she would do the same on my special day. I will update this after the wedding but if you are looking for a natural hairstylist, book her yesterday! Update post-wedding: Working with Zhané was an absolute dream. She took such good care of not only my hair but also my spirit leading up to the big day. I received her complete service which included the bridal trial (shampoo, treatment, and styling) and hair prep 1 day before the wedding (which I received shampoo, customized protein treatment, and prep for the big day) and then she was with me to finish the look at the wedding. She was so funny and got along with my other vendors (even tag-teaming with my MUA so that they both could work when time was getting short). She brings such great energy to the space and I received compliments on my hair all day. For those of you who have natural hair and want to highlight that on your big day, it is truly a no-brainer!

I've had a camera in my hand since I was a kid. My mom was a wedding photographer also. I spend my days taking photos because it inspires me and fills me with joy. To me, there is nothing better than capturing a beautiful moment. I have photographed weddings all over the US TX, NY and the Hudson Valley, the East Coast, as well as in Europe, the Caribbean, & Hawaii. A few more things about me… I love the ocean, traveling, exploring, hiking, dancing, the change of seasons, the outdoors, sunrises, sunsets, walking without a destination, that few minutes of magical golden light before the sun sets, life… and telling stories with photographs.

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.

He made us feel comfortable and relaxed throughout the entire process, which really showed in the natural and authentic photos we received. Davide’s professionalism and passion for his craft were evident every step of the way. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer who will go above and beyond to make your memories unforgettable. Thank you, Davide!
