I recently had my wedding at the Madison Hotel. I can say that my wedding was the wedding I always dreamed of. From beginning to end, the staff was very professional, especially my Maitre'd Joe Zimmerman and his assistant Jose. From the day of the rehearsal till the next day of the wedding they were fantastic. We held our rehearsal dinner at Rods and the food was phenomenal. The day of the wedding, the ceremony was held in the dreamy conservatory and the reception was in the grand ballroom. The transition went seamlessly. They worked very well with all my vendors, DJ, photographer, and string quartet. I had a decorator that they let her come in to stage early and when the conservatory and ballroom were available, they let her right in. They also provided us with a bridal suite for us the get ready in the day of. The whole staff was very attentive and courteous. The food was absolutely amazing at cocktail hour and the reception, we had no complaints! Two bars with top shelf liquor was available the whole night. At the end of the night we had a sparkler sendoff, the staff knew exactly what to do and it all worked out perfectly. We stood at the hotel both nights. The night of the rehearsal we had separate king size bedrooms and the wedding night they provide us with a complimentary honeymoon suite, which was amazing. I highly recommend the Madison Hotel.

Gianna has been sharing their many amazing pictures and videos.....love them all!! Your sharp eyes are amazing, coming from Mom, I have to say though, my daughter and her then fiance are very photogenic. But ALSO you captured the MOMENTS of the day, the EMOTIONS of the day, the EVENTS of the day and EVERYTHING in between to perfection. Many take pictures, it takes an eye like no other to bring together the pictures that I have seen from you all. I love every pic, some caught me differently than others and most of those were the ones that were truly "simple" or "out of the box" versus traditional, you got it all!! I hope you enjoyed the day as well. You are all amazing, work great together and we wish you continued expression of excellence and a lifetime of good health and joy.

Awarded Best of Zola
I cannot recommend Sophie enough for wedding make up. My wife and I used Sophie as our makeup artist for ourselves, our two moms, and my sister-in-law. Getting your make up done is an intimate process and sets the tone for the entire day and with Sophie there I felt beautiful and comfortable the whole time. We were not able to do a make up trial due to my schedule so she worked with me prior to my wedding day via zoom to make sure she knew exactly what I wanted. She sent me examples and helped me articulate my vision and even tried the looks on herself so that I could see them come to life. On the day of I felt so glam and powerful. My look lasted through performances and lots of dancing and my pictures from the end of the night are still STUNNING with no touch ups required (though she did provide us with the cutest touch up kits) My wife’s style and comfort with make up is much different than mine so she did a make up trial and Sophie helped her to find a look that was “wedding glam” but still felt authentic. Our looks were very different and incredibly “us” and showed off Sophie’s range and talent. Logistically, she is a complete professional with high end products that she organizes for ease of use and hygiene. Though my make up ran much longer than intended, she had anticipated that and so we still finished exactly on time. I never felt rushed or stressed - only like an absolute queen. It was the perfect way to start my wedding day and was worth every single penny.

Welcome to Dre Photography LLC! Capturing the timeless essence of your love story is our passion! With a keen eye for detail and a commitment to excellence, we specialize in creating stunning imagery that tells the unique narrative of your special day. Drawing inspiration from the beauty of love and the magic of weddings, we strive to deliver images that evoke emotion and encapsulate the essence of your relationship. Whether it's an intimate elopement or a grand celebration, we approach each wedding with professionalism, creativity, and a genuine passion for our craft.

I don't even know where to begin with Dre! Choosing your vendors is one of the most stressful tasks leading up to a wedding but let me take some of that pressure of by saying HIRE THIS MAN! Just do it. Before the wedding Dre checked in, asked what our expectations were, ran through what kind of shots we wanted and gave us some great ideas, and helped us with scheduling so we could get every picture we wanted. The day of our wedding he arrived early, introduced himself to everyone, got setup, and went straight to work. Despite never meeting in person, I instantly felt comfortable with him and knew I was in good hands. I really wanted a lot of candid shots throughout the day but was nervous that in order to do so it would require the photographer to be all up in our space and would be a distraction from getting ready and staying on task but Dre is such a professional that he was able to get any and every shot I could've wanted without us even knowing he was snapping away! Come time for the posed photos and Dre was IN CHARGE making sure everyone was where they needed to be and ready to go in order to keep the day moving as planned. The rest of the night went just as perfectly as it had started and when we got our pictures back we were just blown away at how he was able to capture every single person (187 of them) that was in attendance during the short amount of time that everyone was actually all together. Since our wedding we have stayed in touch and Dre has become more of a friend than just a wedding vendor. I even had a friend from High School reach out to me asking if I would recommend him and any chance I get to talk about our wedding photos or how incredible Dre was is a conversation I am excited to have! Like I said earlier, just do it! You will have less than no regrets!

Orchard Street Photography was a preferred vendor on a list that our venue (The North Shore House) provided to us. After speaking with Julian for the first time, it was an instant match. My husband and I explained that we were looking for an authentic, unstaged, photojournalistic depiction of our wedding day. When we looked at the pictures, we wanted to be able to feel exactly how we felt that day. We got married last week and from the sneak peaks that we’ve seen Julian and Sarah captured that, despite inclement weather! We couldn’t imagine our wedding without either of them! We had two photographers for 8 hours, which was able to cover getting ready photos, the ceremony, family portraits, and the reception. Never having planned a wedding before, Julian was completely honest with us, shared his professional opinions, and advised based on our requests. His laid back demeanor, go-with-the-flow attitude and artistic vision complemented our day perfectly. We had three children in our wedding party and he was so great with them as well. From the two pictures they’ve shared on social media, they’ve captured exactly what we wanted. Can’t wait to see the rest! Book this Orchard Street, I promise you won’t regret it!

Words can't even begin to describe how wonderful Chris is! He was a referral from another friend, and he did not disappoint. From the beginning he was easy to work with, flexible, and had a creative mind. He not only makes the most of the environment he's given, but truly embraces it, which leads to the most stunning photos (and experience!). I'm fairly certain we had all 4 seasons, and every type of weather one could think of in a weekend, and you would have NO idea based off the outcome of the photos. Chris is truly a gem, and I couldn't recommend someone more to do your photos. If you want someone who will work with you, listen to you/also give opinions, party with you, take advantage of any situation, and take the most stunning photos, then Chris is definitely your photographer!

Felipe, and his team. I reached out to him about a year before the wedding. Felipe immediately scheduled a zoom call, walked me through the process, and upon talking to him I knew immediately that he is truly a visionary. Felipe talked to me about what I wanted, made me feel super comfortable, and was also extremely responsive. On the day of the wedding, while many things were going wrong, he not only was the videographer but was also there to calm me, talk to me, and continuously assured me that everything would be perfect in the video. His team was amazing to work with. I got a sneak peek, preview and then the full video so quick I could not believe it. The quality of the videography, the editing, and sound was excellent. By far one of the best choices I made when it came to my wedding was hiring F-records and their team for the videography. Oh did I mention that he also held the umbrella for me, walked me to car, helped me with my dress, and made sure to just be amazing! Felipe definitely went above and beyond for me! I could not be more glad to have hired F-records.

Opting for a Thursday wedding turned out to be a fantastic decision! On our special day, the staff was exceptional, the food was delicious and served promptly, and the cocktail hour was filled with all our selected dishes, while the bar staff efficiently managed the crowd. They also have a fantastic selection of preferred vendors! Our event coordinator, Kristian, along with Maitre'Ds Brenda and Brandon, were simply outstanding! Their communication, both via email and on the day itself, was seamless. Everything unfolded even better than I had envisioned! I did encounter a decor hiccup with the arch behind my sweetheart table, which my husband had crafted. On the wedding day, I was trying to adjust it when Brenda noticed my struggle. She immediately stepped in, reassured me, and took charge of the situation. Thanks to her, the arch turned out beautifully, just as I had hoped, and I was so relieved! I truly don’t know what I would have done without her help. Choosing DCI for our wedding was the best decision we could have made, and our day was absolutely flawless! We wholeheartedly recommend them!

Working with Tanvi was an amazing experience, I cannot recommend her enough for your henna needs! We had a multicultural fusion wedding, so I did not really know what to expect throughout the henna process but Tanvi made the whole process simple and easy, great communication, and delivered AMAZING work. Even on our honeymoon, people could not stop complimenting the beautiful designs.

Hi, I’m Andrea! a Latina wedding film photographer based in NJ/NYC. With 7 years in portrait photography and 2 years dedicated to weddings, I’m passionate about capturing love stories. Weddings inspire me as they are unique moments where communities unite in pure joy and love. Being part of the LGBTQI+ community, I ensure my space is safe and welcoming for all marriers. When not behind the camera, I love traveling back home, crocheting, taking care of my chosen family, and creating in my photo lab! Each moment I capture is a testament to my love for love.

We are so happy with the pictures Andrea took of us on one wedding we worked together! Thanks to those pictures we got to book so many other weddings to play at. Sometimes photographers don’t pu to much attention to the musicians, understandably so, however it’s so helpful to all vendors at the wedding to be able to get a little footage to promote the work we do.

I am a photo-documentary wedding photographer, specializing in capturing all the authentic and unscripted moments of your wedding day. With over 10 years of experience, I've proudly photographed hundreds (and hundreds) of weddings in NJ, NYC and destinations worldwide. Though my photography work has been published in magazines, and I've garnered my fair share of awards over the years, my proudest achievement till this day was when my youngest son finally learned how to ride a two-wheeler. I mean, c'mon: that's pretty awesome, right?

Cannot recommend Ben enough! We did our engagement pictures with Ben ahead of our wedding and they were 1000/10. He is a master at finding the perfect lighting and did the perfect mix of the more modern photos we love and the more traditional ones our parents/grandparents love. My husband and I are both terrible at posing but Ben kept us comfortable and laughing our entire wedding day and made our photos look so natural! He is hilarious and brought such positive energy the entire day - everyone in our bridal party couldn’t say enough wonderful things about Ben! Ben even gave us a few preview physical prints during our reception which was such a beautiful touch! Can’t recommend Ben enough!
