Deena13 Photography 
Carteret, NJ
  • Photographer

I've been working professionally as a photographer for 13 years and I've shot countless weddings, events, concerts, parties, and portraits. I capture the magic of your day while respecting that your guests are there to see YOU not me, and often my couples' favorites are the photos they didn't realize I took. My eyes are always everywhere and I often hear, "I can't believe you caught that!" My concert work has been published in dozens of local, national and international online and print publications such as Revolver, Spin, Billboard, The New York Times, USA Today, MAC Life, Fake Walls, The NJ Underground, Jersey Beat, and IFC to name a few.

Book All In Entertainment!! Anthony is phenomenal! It's been well over a month since our wedding, and our friends and family are STILL talking about how fun the dance floor was. All because of All In Entertainment! Even our older relatives who couldn't really get up to dance talked about how fun it was to see everyone up on the dance floor having the time of their lives. On the day of the wedding, because we didn't do the bouquet toss and stuff, there was some extra time before dinner. Anthony did a fantastic job figuring out a plan to fill the time and worked with our photographer to make sure the evening went smoothly. He added no stress to our day and truly helped make it magical! I am thrilled that I booked All In Entertainment! And ending the night by joining us on the dance floor and dancing to Bye Bye Bye was a perfect cherry to the night!

Laura was fantastic! As a bride who did not know much about flowers, Laura walked me through all of my options and gave thoughtful suggestions on things to consider. While she crafted a stunning bridal bouquet and beautiful matching bridesmaids bouquets, what really blew us away was the work she did for our centerpieces. We had wanted some pops of blue colors for our centerpieces and sweetheart table and she really delivered. She had told us what types of flowers were in season in those colors, and she was able to blend them beautifully. For the sweetheart table, we had bud vases and they were so sweet and romantic to see in the photographs of us later. Laura also wrote me a little card to describe the flowers she used in my bridal bouquet and it was the sweetest thing ever to receive on the morning of my wedding!

We cannot say enough wonderful things about Hamilton Manor. From start to finish, our experience was nothing short of extraordinary, and our wedding day exceeded every dream we had. First and foremost, working with our coordinator Diana was an absolute joy. She is kind, organized, calm, and endlessly gracious—exactly the person you want guiding you through such an important day. Her confidence and attention to detail made the entire planning process feel manageable and reassuring, and on the wedding day itself, everything ran seamlessly. We were able to truly relax and enjoy every moment knowing we were in such capable hands. The owners of Hamilton Manor were also incredibly flexible and accommodating, which made a huge difference throughout the planning process. Every question, request, and adjustment was met with warmth and professionalism. The day-of staff—especially Hannah and Lloyd—were phenomenal. Attentive, thoughtful, and genuinely kind, they made sure everything (and everyone) was taken care of. The entire staff was outstanding, and their teamwork showed in how smoothly the day unfolded. Nothing felt rushed or out of place—it truly ran like a well-oiled machine. Our guests are still talking about how stunning the venue was. The décor, the atmosphere, and the holiday touches were absolutely magical. In fact, so many of our friends and family have used photos from our wedding as their Christmas card photos, social media profile pictures, and keepsakes—that’s how beautiful the setting was. The cocktail hour was abundant and delicious, with an impressive spread that wowed our guests, and the dessert display was just as memorable. And the food overall? Outstanding—truly restaurant-quality and beautifully presented. Hamilton Manor delivered an experience that was elegant, warm, joyful, and unforgettable. Our family and friends were blown away, and we will be cherishing memories of this day for the rest of our lives. If you are considering this venue for your wedding or event, look no further—you will be in the very best hands.

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.

In the planning process, she helped me make what I wanted work within my budget, never pressuring me to add more or saying what I wanted was impossible (an insane claim I heard from other florists who wanted more money). She encouraged me to use florals from my ceremony during my reception and they came out beautifully. She decorated my sweet heart table with all of our bouquets. Everything held up wonderfully and many guests took flowers home. I can't recommend Jing and Hexacres florals enough!!!

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.

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.

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.

We are Jenn and Ro, a husband and wife team based out of Central Jersey. An AOL chatroom brought us together in 2003 when we were high school seniors and we got married a few years later. Shortly after our wedding, we fell in love with photography and all things wedding. As a boutique studio, we love to create a relationship with our couples that lasts throughout the entire wedding process and beyond. 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!

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.
