With a DJ style thats both engaging & fitting at all times, he understands not only what to play, but how and when to play it most effectively. Whether it be mainstream or alternative music, there will be dancing (and singing) ensuring your celebration is unforgettable. In addition to providing DJ services & sound equipment, Kevin will provide MC services, making any announcements and introductions throughout your reception.

Kevin is truly the best. 1. He is incredibly professional. During the preparation process before the wedding, he fully understood our busy schedules and proactively reached out to us about any areas where we were lacking, allowing us to prepare accordingly. He communicated thoroughly with us about the general feel of the music we wanted, creating a wedding atmosphere that we absolutely loved. Whether you have specific requests for the wedding atmosphere or prefer a smooth, no-frills execution, Kevin fits perfectly and will do his best to assist with the wedding. 2. Right after our wedding, friends who attended and were about to get married asked for Kevin's playlist because the dance party atmosphere was fantastic. We only provided a general feel, and Kevin chose most of the songs. Additionally, many guests repeatedly told me how much they enjoyed the party atmosphere. 3. Beyond his professionalism and excellent music selection and operation skills, Kevin is genuinely great to work with and a fantastic person. Whether it's a wedding or any event requiring a DJ, we highly recommend Kevin.

Hi! My name is Madison, but you can call me Maddi. Raised in Maryland, I've lived in Colorado, South Dakota, and Germany. I now live in Philly with my husband and our two dogs. After so many moves, Philly really is the place that feels like home. I've always had a love for photography and I feel privileged to bring my passion to life. I want my photos to capture the genuine feeling of the moment and to reflect you and your story.

Awarded Best of Zola
We are absolutely thrilled with our experience with Madison! From the moment we met, she was incredibly friendly and easy to talk to. She made the whole process feel so natural and enjoyable, which was so important on such a big day. Not only was she professional, but she went above and beyond in ways we didn’t expect. For example, when I was struggling to pin something to my dress, she immediately jumped in to help—something totally outside her job description, but she did it with a smile and made sure everything was perfect. It was those little thoughtful gestures that truly set her apart. And of course, the photos are nothing short of stunning! We absolutely love her style and the way she uses color. She made sure to capture every important moment, and we now have beautiful memories to cherish forever. We couldn't have asked for a better photographer and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for not just a photographer, but someone who genuinely cares about making your day perfect.

Last month I got married at The Sanctuary on Roosevelt Island, and I had the pleasure of working with Jackie Fanara, an artist from Melissa’s makeup team. She was an absolute joy to work with from start to finish- it felt like hanging out with an old friend! She is so incredible at making her clients feel comfortable, listened to, and pampered. She went completely above and beyond- when the bridal party was finishing photos outside and it started pouring, she got SOAKED while shielding my bridesmaids and making sure everyone was able to get safely from the park to the vehicles to inside the venue. She literally used herself as a shield and then proceeded to to help everyone get touch ups while they dried off- by the time the ceremony had started, no one would have had an idea that everyone had been rained on. By the end of the day, she was everyone’s best friend. She was an angel that day and I am so thankful she was my artist. If you’re looking for an incredibly talented artist who will charm you with her positive attitude and incredible sense of humor- Jackie is your gal. Special shout out to Tressa, who did the makeup for my mother in law and few other people’s on my husband’s side of the family- they all loved her and said that she made them feel so special! And of course, shout out to Melissa for being lovely and communicative while setting me up with her team!

If I could give Morby Photography more than 5 stars I would! Out of all my vendors, they were by far the best. They kept great communication leading up to the event, arrived early to set up, were so nice, and so easy to work with! Our photographer, Daniel was phenomenal. He made me feel comfortable with the photos all day (I am not usually comfortable in front of a camera). He was so personable and nice, and thought of everything. Our wedding was on a snow day, and I wanted outside photos. He even thought of an umbrella to shield my hair from snow in between shots, and brought hand warmers for us to hold and keep us warm. He could read the vibe of our wedding party and leaned into it to make the entire process of photos fun and quick so we could enjoy every part of our day. The photos are astounding. The owners of the company check on you and remain involved through the process, the assistants were wonderful, and even the album design team after the wedding have been great to work with. Overall, the entire company is outstanding and I 10/10 would recommend them!

From the first phone call with Pavel, I knew we were going to have an amazing team. Pavel was so incredibly thorough and reassuring and helped create a perfect timeline for the day. The team, Eddy, Rob & Dave, were so charismatic and knowledgeable. They knew exactly what to do and what instructions to give my husband and I to create the most beautiful and intimate photos. We’re a little camera shy, so the fact they were able to direct us and make us feel comfortable shows their expertise. We are so beyond happy with our photos, full length video and highlight reels. Also - I have to say, the team is so great at capturing AMAZING candids during the party! There were times I didn’t even know they were behind me, and I am so happy to have all these moments captured. I did not feel like I had a camera in my face during the party at all! We had 3K AMAZING photos to look through, and EVERY photo is fantastic. I have also watched my highlight reel so many times, and I’ve already watched my full length film and plan on watching it again with my parents. I will seriously be recommending PSPI to everyone I know!! THANK YOU PSPI!!

Hello! My name is Alec and I run Small Batch Films! With a Master's Degree in Business Administration, I never thought I would find my love in wedding videography. I initially picked up a camera as a hobby, and then friends started asking me to do photography for them. Pretty soon I was doing photography for my friend's weddings, and I was hooked. It was such an exhilarating feeling to capture such an important day in the lives of two people in love! But where I really found my love was with the video camera.

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

Awarded Best of Zola
A few things that stood out the most about Isaac were how responsive he was, how he was able to accommodate to our budget, and how he took pictures from angles and views that turned out great on the photos. As a couple with demanding careers, I much appreciated how quickly Isaac was with replying to emails. We had a pretty tight budget, and Isaac was able to offer us a package that landed pretty close to our budget and only had the items that we needed the most (mini engagement photoshoot for the website and wedding day). Our ask for him was to get some candid shots as we feel pretty awkward in front of the camera. I personally think that the wedding day pictures came out more naturally because of the setting being surrounded with friends and families, and Isaac and Sushen did a great job capturing the candid moments beautifully. Isaac even had an idea for me to pose by climbing up a wooden stair ladder for a shot that I honestly wasn't sure how it was going to turn out while doing it, but it ended up turning out beautiful and magazine-like in addition to other ones that he asked us to pose for. Isaac put together a behind the scenes video that also showed the reactions of guests to our photo place cards before we had entered the reception area, and this was lovely in that we got to see our guests' reactions that we weren't able to see.

We had a small wedding with no formal wedding planner or runner for the day, but Brittany and Mark helped everything to go smoothly, and we truly couldn’t have done it without them. Beyond all that, the images are truly breathtaking. Mark has an intrinsic ability to scan a space and find the most beautiful piece of it.

Thank you so much, Kelsey and Erica for beautifying me and my wedding party! I was on the fence about getting hair and makeup done professionally, and I'm glad I went for it! Kelsey did an amazing job setting me up for success during our trial, taking my "natural look" inspiration photos and translating them for my skin tone. We made some tweaks to my day of look and it turned out better than I could have imagined! Erica did a great job with everyone's hair, and the vibe Kelsey and Erica brought was wonderful and relaxing.

MMUAV Pro is INCREDIBLE. Having never had professional services done before, I had so many concerns: my eczema-prone skin, if my hair would stay volumized, if there was experience with a wide-range of complexions and hair textures for my bridal party, etc. etc. etc. The list went on. For myself, Norma DID HER THING with the makeup! No flare ups or skin irritations all day. The natural glam was spot on with what I was envisioning. Linda was AMAZING with my hair! Everything came out perfect and the curls sat so beautifully on my collar bone. The airbrush was super light and didn't irritate my eczema-prone skin at all. For my family and bridesmaids who had services done, they were all so happy with their hair and makeup! Norma, Linda, Omayra, and Chantelle were so wonderful. They knew how to work with everyone's skin type, facial structure, and hair texture. Everything held up so well. From inquiring to the trial and wedding day, MMUAV Pro was always kindly available. I couldn't have imagined anyone else doing hair & makeup for the wedding. They made my vision come to life. Everyone was so professional, calm, fun, and just overall had a great attitude from start to finish. This day was so special for all of us. So grateful for Vicky and Linda for taking the time to listen to all my thoughts, questions, and concerns throughout the way. Thank you isn't enough, and I hope this review helps so many others with similar concerns I had. THANK YOU MMUAV PRO!!!

Thank you for visiting & CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR ENGAGEMENT!!! We are based in the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania area but travel all over for weddings. Our furthest yet was Vermont! Our bright, colorful & crisp photography style provides our clients with timeless images that will be forever cherished. When I am not working, I enjoy drinking wine, trying new breweries, traveling to the New Jersey shore with my husband, our baby boy born in February 2024 & family, watching Harry Potter for the millionth time, & cuddling with our mini schnauzer.

Seriously... book her NOW! Get comfortable, because this is going to be a long one - Before I begin, let me just prepare you for a ton of synonyms because there just simply aren't enough words to describe how utterly amazing Andrea Krout Photograhy is. Do you want stunning, bright, high quality, breathtaking photos? Do you want a photographer who makes you feel like you've been best friends your whole life? Not a best friend who will just tell you what you want to hear - an actual, true friend who makes sure you look good and puts you in poses she knows work for YOU? Do you want professionalism? Thorough communication? To laugh your entire session and never have to worry whether or not she got "the shot?" Of course you do - who doesn't? That's why your search ends here. With Andrea, you get all of these things... and more! I started the hunt for a photographer when we got engaged in 2019. I somehow landed on Andrea's Facebook and instantly LOVED her style. After reading the bio on her website, I sent an inquiry and almost immediately received the nicest response that didn't simply give me pricing options - oh, no. The first paragraph was just Andrea being so excited for me and asking all the details - how he proposed, how long have we been together, what do we love doing together? And I was sold. I never even inquired with another photographer because I knew this is the person I wanted documenting the most important day(s) of our lives. So, naturally, the world came to a stop right before our planned dinner date to get to know each other (how sweet is she?!) and instead "met" over a Zoom meeting. We discussed that we would be postponing to [this] year. Three hours and one bottle of wine later, we figured out the details for her to come shoot our "mini-mony" wedding on our original date. That day comes and my family couldn't stop talking about how much they adored her! Honestly, she will make you feel like she has known you and your family forever. Okay, I'm probably losing you here so fast forward to our real wedding last weekend and as things go, we got a little bit behind in makeup so Andrea (and her AMAZING second-shooter Rachel) were already at the venue getting the groom shots, details shots, etc. I get there, I'm stressed, not entirely confident in my last-minute coordinator supplied by my venue, and there's Andrea ready to greet me with a huge hug, smile and all the reassuring words a bride needs to hear. Instant relief. When I tell you that Andrea (and Rachel <3) went ABOVE AND BEYOND their job description, I whole-heartedly mean it. She literally bustled my dress and helped me get in/out when I needed to pee. Without this girl, my day would have been unbelievably chaotic and frankly, a mess, but she truly saved it. She will not only photograph your day and produce those breathtaking photos (which she 10000% did because I already got my sneak peeks), but she will be your shoulder to lean on because she truly cares about her brides and loves what she does. I hope this entirely long novel of a review is enough to convince you that Andrea Krout Photography is the right choice, but if not, look at the other stellar reviews and her portfolio because her work speaks for itself. Andrea and Rachel - I could never thank you enough for everything you did and giving us the most incredible photos that I haven't been able to stop looking at. Forever indebted to you!

My love for photography was born when I picked up a camera and started shooting street photography as a hobby. This hobby quickly took over my entire life! Thankfully, combined with my editing and retouching skills, I was able to turn my passion into a career. Owning and running Wild Hearts has been the one of my greatest joys! I love truly love capturing your real life moments and emotions. Yes I am organized as hell and type A, but balance that with heavy doses of standing back and just capturing the moment as it’s happening. I feel a real connection with all the wild hearts out there, and would love it if you let me capture yours!

Wild Hearts was the best photographer you could ask for on your wedding day! Kamelia is great at communicating throughout the entire process. Ahead of the wedding day we had a comprehensive 45 min conversation before I booked her about vision. She actually helped me get a timeline set up for the day and gave me a list of other recommended vendors which I used to find my hair/makeup stylist. It was very easy because the payments were broken up over time so nothing snuck up on you. About 1 week before my fiancé and I met up with Kamelia over brunch to discuss the locations of all the shots we planned on taking, the color scheme, all family members for those photos, and to get more comfortable with each other. I really appreciated this. The day of the wedding I could ask for nothing better. Kamelia is very organized and kept the whole day running with great direction. It was easy to follow her direction to set up poses and get some candid shots. Allyson was the other photographer and really got along with the groom and the groomsmen. They knew all of the good spots around Asbury Park and the board walk to get photos. The best times that my husband and I had was when it was just us and the photographers walking around Asbury Park Boardwalk. We were all vibing having a great time and I really think that made the photos even better. They are both such lovely and professional individuals to work with and it shows. Both photographers took INCREDIBLE photos. You always want your wedding photos to turn out great but these exceeded my expectations. Every single person at my wedding has nothing but incredible things to say about the photos. I would highly recommend Wild Hearts if you are getting married in or around Asbury Park. They were beyond a pleasure to work with.

If you're the kind of couple that would prefer their photographer feel like one of the guests as opposed to a paparazzi, and if when the neighbors complain about the noise, you just invite them to the party, keep reading. I take a documentary-style approach to my weddings. Roaming with a camera, I capture the candid moments and small details that make your wedding unique to you, while making sure to set aside time for a few special portraits.

Steph is a wizard, ninja, and a unicorn all rolled into one. From the minute we reached out to her she immediately made us know we were in good hands. She was clear, communicative, and professional, but every time we talked it still felt like talking to an old friend. (Several of our guests assumed that she WAS an old friend of ours who happened to be a photographer — that’s how warm and chill she is.) Ahead of time she was great about getting details of exactly what we wanted, so that on the big day she just slipped in and out seamlessly without pulling us away from the fun. She was also careful to figure out exactly what we wanted the vibes of the final product to be (candid, colorful, joyful) and she delivered in spades. The finished products are beautiful and were delivered quickly (both the digital copies and the physical prints we ordered). We cannot recommend her highly enough!
