Madalina Photographer 
Rating: 5.0 (52 reviews)
·Ratings include Zola and Google reviews
Cape May, NJ
  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $3,200

I’m Madalina, a wedding photographer based in Miami and the Jersey Shore, but I’ll happily follow love wherever it takes me. I’ve always been drawn to the quiet, meaningful moments: the way your partner looks at you when you’re not looking, the hug from your mom that lasts a little longer, the feeling of joy that hangs in the air. My approach is calm, intentional, and heartfelt. I want your photos to feel like you: beautiful, honest, and full of soul.

“From my first conversation with Madalina Photographer, I knew I had found the right fit for our engagement photos. She responded quickly to all of my questions and kept everything straightforward and upbeat throughout the planning process. When weather threatened to derail our surprise proposal, Madalina didn't hesitate to shift the timing and even offered smart suggestions on when the light would look best. During our shoot, she made us feel at ease with her guidance on poses and encouraged us to be ourselves, capturing both posed shots and genuine candid moments that we'll treasure. Her turnaround time for the edited photos was impressively fast, and the quality of every image exceeded what we were hoping for. I would highly recommend Madalina for anyone looking for engagement photography.”

“I recently got married at the Chalfonte Hotel this past June. It was the most magical day. From the serene beauty of the Willow Tree garden to the simple elegance of the Magnolia Room, everything about the day was perfect. Of course, everyone loved having cocktail hour on the porch, which is personally my favorite part of the hotel. Even before and after the wedding family and friends loved getting together on the porch, having a cocktail, and just enjoying Cape May. I cannot begin to express how kind and amazing the staff are at the Chalfonte. Planning a wedding can definitely feel overwhelming but Ellie was so helpful and communicative every step of the way. Any ideas that we had about how we wanted the day to go she was so receptive to. She made sure that everything we had envisioned was there on our wedding day. If you want a wedding somewhere that is naturally beautiful, fun, and perfectly located, I highly recommend booking you wedding at the Chalfonte Hotel.”

“I cannot say enough amazing things about the Inn of Cape May and our experience having our wedding there. From the very beginning, the entire team made the process feel so easy and stress-free, but Jeri Anne truly went above and beyond to make our wedding day everything we dreamed it would be. Jeri Anne was absolutely fantastic. She took care of every detail, answered all of my questions, and made sure everything came together exactly how I pictured it. Being able to drop off our wedding items ahead of time was such a huge help, and knowing that Jeri Anne and her team were handling everything gave me so much peace of mind. When I walked into the reception space and saw everything set up so beautifully, it was truly better than I imagined. The staff at the Inn of Cape May was also incredible. Every person we interacted with was kind, accommodating, and genuinely wanted to make our day special. They made our guests feel welcomed and taken care of, and their attention to detail did not go unnoticed. Our wedding day was everything we hoped for, and so much of that was because of the amazing team at the Inn of Cape May. We are so grateful to Jeri Anne and everyone who helped make our wedding day so unforgettable. I would recommend the Inn of Cape May to any couple looking for a beautiful venue with a team that truly cares about their couples. For reference we had 86 people, the cocktail hour, and ballroom were the perfect size, and we had room for lots of dancing in the ballroom.”

“This was a dream wedding venue and team. We held cocktail hour upstairs, dinner and dancing under the beautiful tent! Alyssa was an absolute pleasure to work with! She always had the calmest, positive and open delivery throughout each step of a stressful wedding process. She made the process much easier and really worked with us to address all of our questions and needs throughout the year of planning. During our last visit, Alyssa had the best ideas for design and layout. These ideas really made our photos stand out. The chef, Joey, was truly unbelievable. All of our guests said best food at a wedding and better yet, best food in general! Both Joey and Alyssa were so helpful coming up with interesting menu ideas. The staff- every single bartender and waiter was on it! No cup was empty, no one was waiting on their food, all allergies were correctly listened to. Not only was the service amazing, but they all were happy to be there, adding positive energy to our big day. I can't recommend Alyssa and her team enough! Thank you!!! XO”

“The Floral Eden brought our wedding vision to life in ways we didn't even expect. From our first conversation, the team responded to every question and concern right away, and they truly understood what we wanted for our big day. They created the most stunning centerpieces that sat on each table, and candles were placed throughout the venue to set the perfect mood. When we walked into our reception, the combination of florals and candlelight made everything feel absolutely magical and romantic. The quality of their work was exceptional, and we felt like we got incredible value for what they delivered. We can't recommend The Floral Eden highly enough to any couple planning their wedding.”

Since 2010, I’ve helped couples of all backgrounds feel seen, celebrated, and totally at ease on their big day. Every ceremony is written from scratch to reflect your vibe, your values, and your story—not a template in sight.

“We couldn’t have asked for a better officiant for our wedding! Kevin was the first officiant we met with, and we knew right away that he was the right choice. He did such an amazing job making our ceremony feel incredibly personal and meaningful. So many of our guests told us afterward that it was one of the best wedding ceremonies they had ever attended. We even had multiple people ask us how we knew him because the ceremony felt so personal that they assumed he must have known us for years! He made everything feel completely unique to us and told our story in such a natural, genuine way. It was heartfelt, personal, and still had the perfect amount of humor. We’re so grateful for how special he made our ceremony and would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for an officiant!”

“Jennifer and Jeremy are truly the most incredible people you could have by your side on your wedding day. From the very first moment, they made us feel completely at ease, and it quickly became clear that they were so much more than photographers — they were our guides, our support system, and our calm in the chaos. Honestly, without them, so much could have gone differently; they were absolutely priceless and worth every single penny. Their professionalism, kindness, and preparedness are unmatched. From planning to execution, they thought of everything — big and small — and made sure we never had to worry about a thing. On the day itself, I watched them quietly put out fires, organize people, and ensure we had everything we needed — all while capturing the most breathtaking, emotional, and timeless photographs. Every single picture tells a story, and every story is more beautiful than we could have imagined. What really sets Jennifer and Jeremy apart is how deeply they care. We trusted them completely, and that trust was met with nothing but care, attention, and joy. Our family relied on them throughout the day more than anyone else, and they were always there with a steady hand, a kind smile, and an eye for the moments we didn’t even notice. Even with a huge team of vendors around us, they were the ones who made everything feel effortless and truly magical. Hiring Jennifer and Jeremy wasn’t just about photography — it was about having people we could trust completely to capture and protect our memories, to make the day feel seamless, and to give us photos that we will treasure forever. They are extraordinary, both as artists and as human beings, and I cannot recommend them enough. If you’re considering them, do it — they will make your wedding day everything you dreamed of and more.”

“This is what dreams are made of. When I was a little girl, I had big dreams about what my future wedding would look like. As I got older and realized how much everything costs, I started to think my dream wedding would stay just that—a dream. But one thing never changed: I always wanted to get married in a little white chapel and walk down the aisle to the sound of a violin. Petya made that dream come true. From the moment I first reached out to her, we instantly connected. I knew, without a doubt, that no matter where we ended up getting married, she had to be a part of it. I’d listen to her music on YouTube and just melt. She’s cheerful yet calming, incredibly talented, and truly helped put me at ease throughout the process. The morning of my wedding was stressful, but Petya texted me with encouragement, lifting my spirits and getting me excited for the day ahead. Guests even told me how beautiful the atmosphere was as they waited for my arrival—all because of the ambiance she created through her music. As the church doors opened and I saw my soon-to-be husband standing at the altar, the sound of Petya’s violin made it feel like I was walking into a dream. I couldn’t see anyone else—it was as if her melody was wrapping around just the two of us. It might sound dramatic, but we had a very Christian ceremony, and we asked her to play worship music. It made the moment feel sacred, like God’s presence was truly among us. At the end of the ceremony, I ran up to her and couldn’t help but gush about how incredible she was. She gave us our fairytale moment.”

He listened to what we wanted, read the room perfectly, and created the most fun, high-energy atmosphere we could have asked for. We truly had the best night of our lives, and Cam played a huge role in making that happen. We would recommend him to absolutely anyone and everyone!!!”

“Jillian was fantastic. We had family photos done and my girls loved her and she made it look so easy having them cooperate lol. It didn’t feel like just a business transaction - she was patient, approachable, listened to what our vision was and tried to make it happen and DID! It felt as if we already knew her because of how comfortable we were. You can tell that she genuinely has a passion for photography through her work and watching her snap photos of your kids on her own when they are candidly being cute and saying how she could help it because “ they are just too adorable” This was our first experience with taking professional photos outside and not in a studio at the mall. It was worth the entire experience and I can’t thank her enough! I highly recommend and have been recommending her to everyone because I’ve gotten so many compliments and we got so many good photos!!”

“Our wedding at The Renaissance with Falco's Catering was amazing. Heather helped us with less than a years time to plan our day. She was quick to respond to any and all questions and was so flexible in meeting me to go over details. The owners, John and Steve, were also so friendly and willing to make our day special. The food is amazing, which was seen at the mock wedding tasting (this is great so you can see that they have quality food). They hold only one event at a time, making your day their focus. The main room has great acoustics and the staff are so attentive to all the details. Lisa was our maitre'd and she was truly to definition of professional. She made sure we had everything we wanted for the day and helped run each part smoothly. Thank you so much!”

Hi! I’m Shauna — but you can call me Shay. I’m the photographer behind Milestone. What started as a side business in 2015 became my full-time dream in 2022, and I thank God daily that I get to serve amazing couples through my work. I met my husband at 15 and we’ve been together ever since, so love stories have always meant a lot to me. As a wife and mom of two adventurous boys, I know how meaningful life’s biggest milestones are. My goal is to give every couple a relaxed, fun experience and a gallery of memories you’ll treasure for a lifetime.

“Milestone Photography, LLC was a fantastic choice for our wedding photography. From the very first phone call, Shauna was patient, full of creative ideas, and fun to work with. Her communication style made us feel comfortable and at ease throughout the entire process. The quality of Milestone's work is truly 10 out of 10 - Shauna captured all the special moments of our day beautifully. Shauna had so many cute and fun photo ideas that we loved, and it felt like we had known her forever by the end of our wedding. We felt so comfortable chatting with her and walking around with her taking our photos. Shauna was so wonderful from start to finish, and we are thrilled with the amazing photos that will help us remember our special day for years to come.”

At the heart of every wedding is the same beautiful truth: two people choosing each other. We believe deeply that love is love, and every couple deserves to feel seen, celebrated, and safe on one of the most meaningful days of their lives. Our work is rooted in respect, compassion, and equality—because love does not look one way, and it does not belong to only some. We are honored to document love stories in all their forms and to create space where every couple feels welcomed, supported, and genuinely celebrated.

“Bokeh Love saved my wedding! I was in a panic when my circumstances changed and I was left without a photographer with just over 4 months until my out of state wedding. Lauren was able to get me booked and planned out in time for my day. Her and her assistant were fantastic. They were not afraid to help wrangle relatives that were interfering to make sure that my husband and I got the pictures we wanted. The final results are beautiful. I got every shot I wanted and I love everything I got. I can’t recommend her enough!”

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.

“My husband and I cannot recommend Victor enough! From the moment we met him, he felt more like a friend than a vendor. On our wedding day, Victor made us and all of our guests feel completely comfortable. He had everyone laughing, which created such a fun and relaxed atmosphere. His energy was truly amazing. Victor also was always readily available to chat whenever we had questions or needed guidance. He made us feel supported every step of our journey. Victor really went above and beyond in every way — including surprising us with our wedding gallery as a Christmas gift, which completely blew us away and meant so much to us. His photos are absolutely stunning: crystal clear, beautifully captured, and full of genuine emotion. Every single person who has seen our photos is beyond impressed. If you’re looking for a photographer who is not only insanely talented but also kind, thoughtful, and a joy to be around, Victor is hands down the best. We are so grateful we chose him and will cherish these photos forever!”
