Becca Bloom Photography

East Rutherford, NJ
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $1,500

Hi, I’m Rebecca—the heart behind Rebecca Cruz Photography. I’m a wedding photographer with a deep love for capturing the sacred beauty of connection, commitment, and the quiet in-between moments. At the center of everything I do is my faith in Jesus, who continues to teach me about grace, love, and light, both behind the lens and in life. I love to paddle board on the lake, kayak down the river, hike up mountains, and chase waterfalls, even when told not to. When I’m not photographing love stories, I’m likely off exploring with our gentle giant Newfie, jetting off to national parks, or chasing the sun on a tropical shoreline.

We hired Rebecca as our wedding photographer and she exceeded every expectation. Her talent is incredible. Our photos came out exactly as we hoped: moody, stunning, and absolutely perfect. She has such a calming and confident presence, making the whole day feel relaxed and fun. Her energy and personality shine through and she truly makes you feel comfortable in front of the camera. On top of that, she is very affordable and flexible, working seamlessly with our budget. It is also amazing that she is LGBTQ friendly, making everyone feel welcomed and celebrated. We could not have asked for a better photographer.

Hey there, I'm Jordany Almonte, but you can call me "Jordan" – a friendly guy based in the state of New Jersey with a passion for life and a big heart for family. I take immense pride in being a devoted husband and a proud father; they are the driving force behind everything I do. To me, photography is more than just capturing images; it's a way of feeling, touching, and loving the world around me. What I capture in the film holds the essence of the moment, preserving memories that we can cherish forever. Those little things, often overlooked, can bring floods of emotions long after our other memories have faded.

Awarded Best of Zola
We had such a great experience working with Jordany for our wedding! From the very beginning, he was professional, kind, and clearly passionate about what he does. On the day of the wedding, he made us feel completely at ease, blending in seamlessly and capturing everything so naturally. The final photos are absolutely beautiful — emotional, artistic, and full of the small, meaningful moments we’ll treasure forever. He truly has a gift for storytelling through his lens. We’re so grateful for his work and would highly recommend Jordany to anyone looking for a talented and thoughtful photographer who brings both skill and heart to such a special day.

Ever after by Evelyn was incredibly professional, responsive, and organized throughout the entire process. Evelyn listened attentively to our vision, offered valuable suggestions, and made us feel completely at ease. On the day of the wedding, she was a calming presence, seamlessly blending in while ensuring every important moment was documented without feeling intrusive. Receiving our final gallery was such an exciting moment. The photos were delivered beautifully organized in an online gallery and the quality was exceptional. The turnaround time was also very reasonable, and she kept us updated every step of the way. We honestly cannot recommend Ever After by Evelyn enough. If you're looking for a wedding photographer who is not only incredibly talented but also a joy to work with, look no further. She gave us the most precious gift – timeless memories of our special day that we will cherish forever.

Oceans to Mountains Photography

  • Serves East Rutherford, NJ

Hey all you adventurous care free lovers! Thanks for being here. My name is Alyssa and I’m a nj based wedding and elopement photographer. I travel all over the US and beyond as well. When I’m not photographing weddings you can find me curled up with a fantasy book or at the gym or hanging out with my three daughters. My style of photography can be defined as documentary. I love capturing perfect moments that are happening organically as opposed to posing you through every part of your day. I like for my couples to enjoy the day as it’s happening and not stress about every second being dictated by a photographer. Let’s chat!

We cannot say enough wonderful things about Alyssa (Oceans to Mountains Photography) and her second shooter Heather (Heather Smith Photography). From the very beginning, they made us feel completely at ease, and by the end of the night, it truly felt like they were part of the family. They captured every single moment so beautifully—both the big, emotional highlights and the small, candid details we’ll treasure forever. Their professionalism, creativity, and eye for detail are unmatched. They have a gift for making people feel comfortable in front of the camera, and the result is photos that feel natural, timeless, and full of joy. We’ve had countless friends and family members comment on how stunning our wedding photos are, and we couldn’t agree more. Choosing Alyssa and Ocean to Mountains Photography was hands down one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. We’ll cherish these photos for a lifetime, and we are endlessly grateful for the love and care she put into capturing our day so perfectly. We love you Alyssa!! We really cannot thank you enough. Your personality and sense of humor added so much to the day. We can't wait to have you photograph all of our life events :)

Love & Lenses Photography’s three dedicated individuals each have their personality and distinctive flair. What remains constant across the board, however, is their willingness to put clients at the heart of their every decision. Unsurprisingly, they are comfortable with a broad array of styles that allow them to produce a diverse collection of images for newlyweds. These approaches include contemporary, natural, traditional, and vintage. What’s more, owners Brianna and Rebecca are adept at incorporating photojournalism into their work. This versatility allows them to reflect a number of interesting themes and aesthetics.

Awarded Best of Zola
From the moment I met Becky, I knew I had found my wedding photographer. She was so bubbly and easy to talk to. She answered ALL the questions I had and put my mind at ease with each email I sent. I had a smaller wedding with approximately 75 guests. It was both mine and my husband's second marriage and we wanted a more relaxed fun atmosphere, with lots of actions and candid shots. Both Becky and Brianna exceeded our expectations. I have so many "in the moment" candid shots, along with the "traditional " type family photos. Everyone at the wedding commented on how my photographers weren't intrusive and were actually fun! I will definitely be recommending Love & Loves Photography to all my family and friends!

If you’re looking for a wedding/event/engagement/anniversary photographer, Natalia is your girl! She is phenomenal. Me and my wife first used Natalia as our photographer for an engagement shoot in Brooklyn, NY. I, personally don’t feel like I’m very photogenic… so I was a bit nervous. I didn’t really know what to expect. Natalia, however, made me feel SO at ease during this session. She was able to give us enough direction so that we didn’t feel awkward posing, and the photos turned out beautifully! We then had her, along with another photographer and videographer photograph our WEDDING in Telluride, Colorado! We received all of our photos back from her, and they are simply breathtaking. I can’t put in to words, the emotion we both felt, looking through them. They took us back to that perfect day. We are very happy to have found her as not only a photographer, but a long-time friend. If you’re wondering whether or not to book her…. here’s your sign to DO it!

I had the absolute pleasure of being photographed by Debbie for my bridal shower this year, and she did a phenomenal job. From the moment she arrived, her energy was incredible; she’s fun, funny, and such a joy to be around. She has this rare ability to walk into a room and instantly elevate the vibe, which matters so much during events where emotions are high, and things don’t always go exactly as planned. What truly sets Debbie apart is her ability to deliver a gallery that looks and feels perfect, even when real-life conditions aren’t. In the world of events, something will always deviate from the plan; that’s just the nature of it, but Debbie captures the moments in a way that lets you hold onto only the joy, the beauty, and the fun forever. Her photos don’t just document the day, they preserve the feeling you want to remember. I’ve also had the pleasure of working with Debbie professionally on several intimate weddings and minimonies, with me as the planner/coordinator and her as the photographer. Every time, she delivers a visually stunning gallery while making clients feel completely comfortable being themselves. She will hype you up, make you feel amazing, and create an environment where you feel confident in your own skin, and that confidence translates beautifully in the portraits. No awkward sessions here. If you want someone who is authentic, brings great energy, and makes even stressful moments feel lighter, hire Debbie for your next intimate event. This is truly her zone of genius, and I cannot recommend her enough.

I'm devoted to telling love stories that feel as authentic and layered as the people living them. I believe love is love, and every human deserves to feel seen, safe, and celebrated. I’m a proud first-generation Filipina woman, working at a social justice school and building a life with my partner in a WLW relationship. Equity and care go hand in hand. If you’re here for love in all its forms, you’re in the right place. I am a wedding + elopement photographer that also offers film. I service New Jersey, New York, Philadelphia + I am willing to travel!

Working with Giselle for our branding shoot was a transformative experience. Her brain truly works differently than anyone else’s in the industry—she sees angles, lighting, and creative possibilities that others completely miss. She has this 'insane' level of creativity that feels like a superpower. Throughout the process, she fixated on every single detail to ensure it was absolutely perfect. This same meticulous eye makes her wedding photography breathtaking; she captures the raw, beautiful moments of a wedding day with the same precision and artistic flair she brings to a high-end brand. If you want someone who doesn't just take photos but actually elevates your brand or wedding through a unique lens, Giselle is the one. We are so proud to have her on our preferred vendor list in addition to becoming our good friend.

One of the most important aspects of a photo is the emotion it conveys.

I would give a million stars if I could. We had the most incredible experience with Anthony Ziccardi Studios as our wedding photographer at Rock Island Lake Club on May 30, 2025. From start to finish, they were everything we could have hoped for and more! We knew we wanted this photographer before we even knew what venue we would book! From the first interaction in the office, they were professional, personable, and genuinely caring. By sheer fate, we had Anthony shoot our engagement photo shoot. He took the time to understand our vision, and more importantly our personalities. Before we even got home from the shoot, we had emailed and requested he be the photographer for our wedding day (although truthfully we would have been happy with anyone on his incredible staff). On the big day, he and Karina blended seamlessly into the celebration, capturing every laugh, every tear, and every beautiful detail with such an artistic eye. They are so knowledgeable about the work and the photos that would be bested, and we trusted them endlessly! Anthony and Karina made us feel so comfortable and confident, even in the most emotional and high-energy moments. They were never intrusive but always right there when it counted, capturing magic without us even realizing it. The photos? Absolutely breathtaking. Every image radiates emotion and tells the story of our day so perfectly. We couldn’t stop smiling (and tearing up) as we looked through them. They delivered not just pictures, but memories frozen in time...and as I write this I've only seen a handful. We cannot wait to receive the rest! We truly couldn’t imagine having had anyone else by our side for this once-in-a-lifetime moment. Anthony Ziccardi was more than just a vendor—he is now a friend and truly felt like family. If you're lucky enough to book them for your wedding, do it. It was hands down one of the best decisions we made for our special day. Thank you, thank you, thank you for being such a meaningful part of our celebration!

I grew up in Denville NJ, and now live down the road from my childhood home with the woman who has my heart, my sweet Celina.

Jeff is an incredibly talented, creative, and sweet photographer with an amazing eye for detail! From the very beginning, he went above and beyond to make our experience stress-free and enjoyable. Jeff traveled to the Jersey Shore for our engagement photos, and on our wedding day, he went to two different locations since my husband and I were getting ready separately. Even when our plans changed just a few days before the wedding, Jeff made it all work seamlessly and kept everyone on schedule! He has great communication skills and made us feel so comfortable, especially during those nervous moments. Every photo came out picture-perfect — the lighting, the emotion, the little details — all captured beautifully. Our family and friends can’t stop raving about how amazing the photos turned out! Jeff even went above and beyond by taking a short video of us at the church since we didn’t have a videographer, which was such a thoughtful touch. He also shot some photos on film that have a gorgeous vintage look — we absolutely love them. Jeff truly made our wedding experience better than we could have imagined. We are so grateful for his talent, kindness, and professionalism. 100% recommend Jeff to anyone looking for a photographer who captures not just beautiful photos, but genuine moments.

As many millennials do, we met on one of those phone dating apps (eh hem.. Tinder..) and had an instant connection! It didn't take long for Korey to make things "official" and asked Diana if she would be his girlfriend. Of course she said 'yes!' and it was a whirlwind after that. We adopted an adorable blue nose pittie, moved in together, and started a business! Now here we are, 6 years later - chasing our dreams and building a career together as a MARRIED COUPLE!! (and we also have another pup!).

What a team! Incredibly accommodating from the start of booking. Supportive through the planning process and extremely helpful with the timeline. I didn’t know where to start and their timeline gave me a strong example of how to plan the rest of the day. Diana and Korey made sure to learn our names and make us feel so comfortable the entire day. I could not brag about this team enough!!!! You must book them.

Awarded Best of Zola
If you want pictures of your wedding, tell your guests to whip their phones out and take pictures. If you want professional photographs of your wedding, there are dozens of people with fancy equipment you could hire. If you want someone who is going to guide you through the real ins-and-outs of the wedding process, someone to warn of you of the potential pitfalls and make suggestions that will bring your day to life, and someone to help you craft a seamless timeline all while making you feel seen, heard, and calm during your special day, hire Melissa. The photographs of our engagement session and our wedding speak for themselves. They’re stunning, and we look forward to looking at them every day of our lives. What you are getting with Melissa goes well beyond someone to take photos. In our first consultation, she put it perfectly: she has been to far more weddings than you ever will. She is an expert, she knows what to expect, and she knows how to keep things moving. She really felt like a second event coordinator, and one who’s primary focus was our well-being. There was a moment during the wedding when things were getting a bit chaotic, and Melissa swooped in and brought us outside, not just to get some beautiful sunset photos but more so to give us a chance to catch our breath and be in a quiet space with each other. This would have been impressive enough on its own, but considering the fact that Melissa warned us that something like this may happen and that she would trust her instincts to know when we needed something we ourselves didn’t even know we needed demonstrates the level of care and professionalism you’ll receive when you hire Blooming Faith. Melissa and her shooting partner were a joy to work with, and we plan on working with Blooming Faith for many of our future milestones.

At Remember That! Photography, I’m all about capturing the real stuff—the moments that matter, big and small. I’ve been photographing weddings since 2012, and after years of documenting love stories, I’ve launched this new business with a fresh perspective and a focus blending creative storytelling with genuine emotion, from quiet first looks to the wild dance floor moments. I take the time to get to know each couple so your photos reflect your personality, not just a checklist. The result? Timeless images that feel true to you and your day.

Chuck was fantastic! He took the time to really get to know us, which made the whole process feel super personal. Right from the start, it was clear he cared about telling our story through his pictures. On the big day, Chuck was a total pro—capturing all the candid moments and the posed shots without making anything feel forced. He got true candid shots of everything from the sweet little glances to the wild laughter during the party. When we got the photos back, we were blown away! It was all just perfect. Chuck’s dedication and talent turned our wedding memories into something we’ll treasure forever. When he contacted me to write a review of his past work for his new business, I didn’t hesitate to say yes! If you need a photographer who’s amazing at what they do and makes the experience fun and personal, Chuck’s your guy!

Weddings are filled with big and little moments that you want to remember forever. I am dedicated to capture those moments while also providing a stress free day. Apart from photography I serve as a part time wedding planner, working to set up a photo schedule that fits your day perfectly. This ensures that the day runs smoothly and you can leave the photos to us while you enjoy your day!

My Fiancé and I hired Tom for our Engagement Photoshoot. This was the best decision, hands down. Tom actively engages his Clients throughout the whole shoot, and the pictures came out absolutely amazing. We will 100% be using his services again! From headshots to weddings or other big events, Tom does an absolutely outstanding job. I HIGHLY recommend his photography services to anyone. :)

We had an amazing experience working with Frame Image Production from start to finish. Their communication was clear and honest throughout the entire planning process, and they made us feel comfortable right away. During our engagement shoot, they gave us great instruction on poses and actually reviewed the photos with us in real time, having us redo some shots to make sure we got the best ones. We felt he genuinely cared about getting our photos, and the quality of their work far exceeded what we expected.
