Hello, We're Lisa & Pieter! We're a South Africa and New Jersey Wedding & Lifestyle Photographer Duo who love capturing all things love! We met working on cruise ships, traveled the world together, fell in love, and now are photographing beautiful love stories together!

Awarded Best of Zola
If you're looking for a wedding photographer who truly captures the essence of your special day, look no further than Lisa Blanche. From start to finish, Lisa was absolutely amazing to work with. Her professionalism and warmth immediately put us at ease, and we felt completely confident in her hands throughout the entire process. She made us feel like we were the most important couple in the world, which made our experience even more memorable. Her photos are nothing short of breathtaking. Every shot tells a story, perfectly balancing candid documentary-style moments with beautifully posed portraits. It’s the best of both worlds—authentic, emotional moments, paired with stunning, timeless images that will hang on your walls for years to come. Lisa has an incredible ability to make every shot feel natural and full of life, capturing all the little details that make your wedding day unique. What truly stood out was how Lisa listened to us and understood exactly what we wanted, while also providing expert guidance. She didn’t just meet our expectations—she exceeded them in every way, making our dreams come true and then some. Not to mention, Lisa’s husband was also a huge help and a joy to work with. Together, they make the perfect team, bringing not only expertise but also a sense of fun and ease that made us feel like we were working with friends, rather than just hired professionals. The end result was a collection of photos that surpassed everything we hoped for. We will treasure them forever. If you want a photographer who’s skilled, professional, and passionate about her craft—and who will truly make your wedding day unforgettable—Lisa Blanche is the one to hire. I couldn’t recommend her more!

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 fantastic! He was the perfect photographer to have for our wedding, and we’d chose him again in a heartbeat. He was reliable, organized, professional, but most of all, he was very kind! We immediately felt comfortable working with him the moment we started planning together. Wedding day, he was almost also like our wedding coordinator, something we didn’t have. He helped keep us in time, know what the next thing was, and even stay present to each moment. His execution of photographing and the details he captured throughout the day, truly exceeded our expectations. The quality of the photos were stunning, and our family and friends still rave about not only them, but also him as a photographer, over a year later. The photos came out regal yet soft, and we loved how timeless they came out to be. We had him for the morning to take portraits of the bridesmaids then groomsmen, during and after the ceremony, couples portraits right after, and lastly the beginning parts of the reception, which included entrances, speeches, dancing, and the cake-cutting. I grew up with a photographer father, and a Filipino family that lives and breathes pictures, so I definitely had a taste. Paul was the perfect fit for us, and we definitely recommend you chose him for your next event!

We're a husband and wife team, wanting to capture your beautiful memories. Photographs are the visual representation of your love story that replace memories over time. And we cherish the opportunity to help you preserve it. We have fully integrated services available including photo, video, photo booth, assistance with planning and timeline development, etc.

Awarded Best of Zola
From the moment I met Niki and Aubrey we knew in our gut who would photograph our wedding. Interviewing other photographers instantly became unnecessary. Niki and Aubrey’s portfolio spoke for itself, but witnessing his passion firsthand was the icing on the cake. Our first photography session with Niki and Aubrey was our engagement shoot, and that is where Aubrey shined. She was incredibly prepared, with a vision of the final product already in her mind, despite never seeing the location prior. Her excitement was contagious, and her attention to detail was second to none. The engagement shoot served as a proof of concept for our wedding, but still couldn’t prepare me for how perfect the big day would go. Capturing every moment, wrangling unruly groomsmen, being everywhere while simultaneously blending into the surroundings; Niki and Aubrey were the most incredible duo we have ever had the pleasure to witness in their element. The final edited pictures arrived quickly, and are absolutely breathtaking. We can’t choose a favorite, each one tells a story. We couldn’t be happier with our decision to have Niki Phillips Photography document our special day. We have since had Niki and Aubrey shoot our maternity pictures and will continue to be return customers of theirs for all of our photography needs in the future. We would wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone.

Just a little bit weird, enough to keep it interesting. Usually the quiet one until I get around a smaller group of people then I absolutely can't stop myself from yapping. I cry easily at any emotional part of a movie like when Moana's grandma visits her when she's at sea and basically all of Inside Out (1 and 2), and I love all the tiny moments in life that truly make you feel alive. The smallest detail or fleeting moment is sometimes the most important thing or has the biggest impact, and that’s why I love photography. I get to capture the little things in life.

Awarded Best of Zola
Richel was wonderful to work with and we highly recommend her. We actually had so much fun shooting our engagement photos and it shows in the photos. Richel delivered a gorgeous final product and guided us throughout the process. professional, thoughtful, sweet and highly skilled are some of the ways I would describe Richel.

For many years, I have had the honor of documenting weddings in New Jersey, working with couples to make sure their love story is captured exactly as it unfolds—organically and beautifully. From the quiet, intimate moments to the big celebrations, I focus on preserving the genuine joy and connection between the couple and their loved ones.

Last year I was recommended Kasia from a mom’s Facebook group and the rest is history! Kasia is such a fun soul to work with and is also a mama so she has tremendous patience from the beginning to the end & I’m not sure there is an end. She first did my fiancé and I’s engagement photos and then our wedding, and I am excited to keep her close to our family for whatever is on the horizon with her amazing ability to capture the sweet moments of life into photos. So thankful we clicked and I love her work. She is relatable and down to earth and is “just there to capture our love” as she says. She helped ease my nerves of being in front of the camera and that was the toughest thing for me. Highly recommend Kasia!!

Tina Elizabeth Photography

I know you might hear a lot of photographers say this... but I’ve truly always loved taking photos! Taking a great photo has always brought me joy from a young age. When I was a little girl, I’d hog my grandmother’s polaroid camera at parties, my mom’s film camera on vacations and throughout high school, I weekly went through disposable cameras and I loved capturing all the moments in life.

I can’t even begin to say enough great things about Tina and her team. The whole process from having our initial phone consultations to the big day was seamless! She was always available to answer any questions we had and made sure to include everything we asked for in the proposal. On the wedding day, her and her team arrived early, and throughout the day made sure everything went smoothly. She had a calm presence (which I appreciated as the bride) while still making sure to keep things moving and ensured we stuck to our schedule. She even reminded us about specific moments we talked about capturing and made sure we found the time to fit them into the day. The pictures came out absolutely beautiful!! She did a great job of not only getting posed shots but really capturing the love in the room and happiness of the day. When I look at her photos, they instantly bring me back to the day and all the emotions. If you work with Tina and her team you won’t be sorry!

Being a professional photographer is a dream come true, not just a job. From sketch books, canvas's, trains and walls, to a darkroom room, I've always been inspired to create visual landscapes. From Toronto originally, I now live in Pennington New Jersey with my amazing wife Melissa and two children, Jalen and Birdie. I was lucky to have spent ten years as a photo assistant in NYC where I learnt from the best photographers in the world how to be a pro on every set.

We could not be happier with our wedding photographer! Josh was professional, responsive and attentive to our needs. His creativity and skill resulted in stunning photos that perfectly captured the essence of our day. The entire process was smooth and enjoyable thanks to his excellent customer service. We highly recommend Josh to anyone in need of a talented and reliable photographer.

We got married on August 2025, and had the pleasure of working with Aimee Tursky. Prior to our wedding, we spoke on the phone regarding what we wanted (photo ideas) - under the veil, bubbles, a VERY specific group shot, and a game day photo. Aimee DELIVERED. She exceeded all of our expectations, and we are still receiving compliments on our photos, including statements about how they are "Bridal Magazine" worthy. Reflections Media made the booking process easy, and Danielle was available through every step for any questions or concerns. My husband and I couldn't recommend Reflections Media PA, and Aimee enough. We are so pleased on how our photos turned out. I'd also like to add it took about 3 weeks for us to get our edited photos back.

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.

My goal is to give every couple a relaxed, fun experience and a gallery of memories you’ll treasure for a lifetime.

From our first conversation, Shauna at Milestone Photography made it clear she was someone we could trust. She shared vendor recommendations and wedding site suggestions that genuinely helped us prepare, and showed up ready to work on the day without missing a beat. What sets her apart is how she directs each shot—she has an eye for detail that makes poses feel natural while keeping everything fun and comfortable. Her photos are timeless and breathtaking, capturing those small moments that make your day uniquely yours.
