Wedding advice: hire Cover Story Entertainment! We worked with CSE for our July wedding. We went with the ceremony package, 6-piece band as well as their uplighting and photo booth services. Our experience with CSE from start to finish was 10/10. Chris and Elena are incredibly organized, communicative, and responsive. They always answered all of our questions (and I asked many!) Alec, Alex, Savannah, and the rest of the band members rocked it all night. One of the first things guests commented on about our wedding was how amazing the band was. One of our guests commented that they wish they could cancel their DJ and fly CSE to their wedding in Portugal because they loved them so much. Extremely talented musicians for an awesome price, which make a huge difference when wedding planning. When we reflect on our wedding day, Cover Story is a huge part of what made it such a memorable night. -MK AJ Dunne

I’m Lizzie, a wedding & engagement photographer in New York and New Jersey. For more than a decade, I’ve been capturing life's great moments. On wedding days, I am known for my happy and relaxed presence, making sure you’re on time and smiling throughout your whole day.

Working with Lizzie through the entire process, from shopping for a photographer, booking, engagement shoot, planning, day of and photo delivery was the smoothest process imaginable. My husband and I felt as if we were chatting with a friend every conversation, meeting and event we spent with Lizzie. To put it plainly, she is built for this business, in and out. Our engagement photos and wedding photos were all beyond stunning. We received sneak peak photos within days of both of our engagement shoot and wedding. The sneak peak wedding photos were received NEXT DAY! Our full wedding album came one month and one day later. Lizzie had the pleasure of photographing us when it was 20 degrees or less during our engagement shoot and torrential downpours our wedding day. The photos capture only our love and the best moments of our life, you would never even know the elements were less than cooperative. As mentioned previously, due to the weather on our wedding day 99% of our photos had to be fully indoors. Every single photos was even better than we could imagine. We were spoiled with being able to get a few awesome stunning outdoor shots when the rain broke for a little bit during our reception. Lizzie came with two additional photographers day off, Jacky and Hannah, that worked seamlessly with her to help towards our stunning lifelong memories. If you want to add a vendor to your wedding team that will ensure you have the day of your dreams to look back on forever, run don’t walk to book Lizzie.

No matter your size, race, gender, sexual orientation or religion, we're here to hype you up as you share all your wildest wedding ideas with us!

Meaghan and Evan photographed our Halloween wedding and we couldn't imagine having anyone else! We met Meaghan and Evan last October when they shot our engagement photos. They were more than willing to trudge through our favorite park and stop at all our favorite spots to get some beautiful photos we used for our save the date. We got to get to know them a little more over at our favorite little ramen restaurant after the session and of course we were instantly sold! Meaghan was super communicative and responded to every email I sent her pretty much right away every single time. As we got closer to the wedding day, she sent an incredibly detailed questionnaire. It covered everything from our most important shots to what weird family dynamics she should be conscious of; we sincerely appreciated this level of care, especially as a queer couple with some iffy family things. When I was hiring vendors, it was extremely important to me to find vendors who were queer/queer friendly and body positive, and Meaghan checked off both boxes in spades. My wife and I both have huge body insecurities and are deeply self-conscious of photos-but Meaghan made us both feel so beautiful. I was never even aware of the parts of myself I am usually hyper aware of because Meaghan and Evan both made us feel so comfortable. We were able to laugh and feel every emotion without once worrying about how we would look in the photos. On the day of, Meaghan kept us right on track without rushing us or making us feel stressed. We were definitely running behind at points but Meaghan handled it all with grace and helped me keep my head above water the whole time. They captured every moment in such a storybook way that we are able to talk about and remember every detail of the day based on the photos. This gallery is such a keepsake and such a special reminder of the best day of our lives. Its so heartwarming to look back and see how happy we and our guests look. And my wife and I both couldn’t have asked for more stunning photos of ourselves. We both look and feel so feminine, so whimsical, so magical. She captured our authentic selves, which is what makes her photos so unique and beautiful. I can't wait to order our prints and have these photos in our home forever! Thank you, Meaghan and Evan. There's so much more I could say but I'll leave off with, we are so grateful to have had you on our day. We love our photos so much. And we can't wait to have you do another shoot for us sometime in the near future! We cannot recommend you highly enough!

Our style is Honest, Emotional, Intuitive, and Real. We love traveling anywhere in the world, as long as we're together!

I have the unique experience of being a wedding planner that works with JAG Studios and this past year as a client renewing her vows! I can tell you that they are truly gifted artists and are able to read their clients exceptionally well. They create and forge lasting bonds and capture not just the wedding but every single special moment and detail flawlessly. Every client is blown away by their work, and if your looking to have an amazing photo experience, then JAG is who you should go with. As a client, renewing my ten-year anniversary vows, I wanted a photographer that could capture the years and moments that it took myself and my husband to get to this point. To be very honest, I was pretty freaked about having my photos taken; I am a behind the scenes gal! However, both Jacklyn and Chris not only made us 100% relax, but I barely knew they were taking photos, and when all was said and done and the showed us the end product both my husband and I cried for days because it was more beautiful then we could have ever imagined. They captured who we were as a couple, and as individuals and every moment, moments I did not even think about will forever be in an amazing photograph. Jaclyn Watson Events

My couples mean the world to me. I love hearing their stories, what makes them tick, and the things that are important to them. It’s my goal to capture them exactly the way they are; how they crack jokes, poke fun, dance together, hold one another. I’m there to capture the genuine tears, the laughs, how you just fit so well together. With directive posing, I bring out real chemistry and personalities. With my laid back vibe, I’ll ensure even the photo-heavy parts of the day are a breeze. I believe every single part of a wedding should be a blast and that every couple should be celebrated in their own unique way.

I could not have asked for a better person to capture my wedding! On our wedding day, it poured rain and I was absolutely devastated that the outdoor wedding I had been dreaming of was not happening. As I was sitting there faced with that reality, about to ruin my makeup with tears, Andrea swooped in like a superhero and genuinely made me feel like the rain was a good thing. She was the only voice of reason that made me feel like everything was still perfect. She ran around in the rain with us all day capturing the most gorgeous photos and I didn’t feel like I missed out at all. She was prepared with clear umbrellas and we actually had fun! She is also just so talented, the pictures and the saturation are just absolutely gorgeous, and not only that but she also has an absolute talent for capturing joy and movement. All my vendors have chosen to use her photos from my wedding on their websites, seriously just hire her!!!

Hi! I am a photographer who was born and raised down on the Jersey Shore, and I want to be able to help my couples capture their most precious memories. I've always loved keeping a camera on hand and photographing anything and everything, to the point where I had collections of memory cards from family events to just walking around my hometown. I want everyone to enjoy themselves and be able to look back on the photos and feel that same amount of joy that they felt on their day the same way i look back on my own photos. There's so many little things that happen, and I am here to help the memories fly!

Maureen Dougan Photography was absolutely the best wedding photographer we could have asked for. Their communication was amazing from start to finish - they kept me calm the whole day and had such great direction. Maureen and her staff were professional, friendly and made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. The quality of their work is top-notch, and our pictures came out amazing! I can't thank Maureen enough for capturing our special day so beautifully, and she is truly the sweetest photographer to work with. Absolutely the best decision we made for our wedding!
