Emerson, NJ

  • Offers 7 services
  • Starts at $75

Hi! I'm Jamie, the Owner of Keep It Sweet Studios. I've always had a passion for art in many different mediums. I graduated Rutgers with a degree in Visual Arts & Psychology. I love designing unique pieces of art to help people celebrate and commemorate the special moments in their lives (or even making an ordinary day special!). I pride myself on being detail oriented and organized so event planning was a natural fit. Making people's visions come to life is such a joy. I can't wait to hear your ideas!

Working with Jamie was truly better than I could have imagined! She was our day-of coordinator for our September 2025 wedding, but truly, she was there for us with support and planning from Day 1. Above all, I appreciated her organizational skills, positive and sweet personality, and undeniable talent. She is incredibly warm, personable, and easy to talk to, and was able to calm my nerves about so many different factors for the wedding. Jamie was always there through the process to answer my "silly" questions when I felt overwhelmed with the planning. She went on a venue visit with me to ensure she had a lay of the land before our wedding, and she created a timeline for the day, which she sent out to vendors and VIP guests. She was very communicative with the relevant parties and always knew the right thing to do when questions arose on the day. In addition to her planning skills, she is also a talented artist and made a mirror sign for our ceremony (photo attached). See the Keep It Sweet Instagram page to see other things she can create. Jamie is without a doubt a total professional and a game-changer for such a special day! I only heard glowing reviews from my vendors on working with her, which was no surprise to me. My parents were also so impressed by her. If you are considering working with Jamie on your special day, this is your sign to do so! You won't regret it. I couldn't have done it without her!

Working with Miranda, Raquel, and Kylie was a true pleasure. Kylie assisted us at our rehearsal the day before our wedding, practicing the ceremony to ensure we understood the process and best practices for each bridal party member. Miranda and Raquel were there for us on our wedding date, helping set up decor, running to get breakfast for the bridal party, and being the point of contact with all our vendors. At one point, as the bride, I was getting overstimulated with all the pictures being taken in a short amount of time, and Miranda/Raquel had my back by making sure I had water and 30 minutes to center before our ceremony. I'd recommend Start Rose Creations to family and friends for any event.

We are so happy to be in this business but we didn’t always know we’d become wedding photographers. Seth spent about 10 years in video production (aka the equipment expert) and Nicole is an advertising art director (aka the artsy perfectionist).

I cannot say enough great things about working with Seth and his team! From our first meeting, to all communications, to our wedding day, everyone was committed to bringing our vision to life. Seth was thoughtful and paid attention to every detail. I especially loved the shot list document he shared - no way anything would be missed. Day of, Drea and Brandon were on top of everyday plus so much fun to work with. We got the shots we wanted without spending our entire wedding taking pictures.

I'm still smiling thinking about our March wedding - it was absolute perfection at Crossed Keys. We were originally interested in the venue from the gorgeous pictures we saw online. The grounds are stunning but because we knew we were leaning more towards a winter/early spring wedding and NJ weather is famously unpredictable, we wanted to make sure that the indoor area was beautiful as well. CKE definitely fit the bill. I have a reputation for being a foodie so I was skeptical of most venues and caterers as we were still deciding, but when Katherine, the owner, told me during our tour that they serve lechon (I'm Filipino and my husband's Peruvian), I thought OH, these people actually know what they're talking about. And I was completely right! Multiple people told us that it was the best wedding food they'd ever had, and we have a pretty tough and selective crowd. I'm not sure how many other venues can serve good lechon and ceviche at a cocktail hour. The whole team was super communicative and responsive throughout the entire process. Katherine always says to give her a call if you need anything, and she really means it. And the planning spreadsheet they provide you helps you think about lots of things you might otherwise miss. Jess and her team did such a stunning job on our florals and decor. I think she actually did a better job than the inspiration photos we showed her, which is incredible to say. She was also flexible in working with us within our budget. Kyle did an amazing job as our maître d’ and was constantly checking up on us throughout the night. My dad said it was like he was "everywhere." And Rosemary, our waitstaff for the night, was also so sweet, making sure we were always topped off and fed. Danielle was our venue coordinator, but more importantly our literal angel. She was with us every step of the way during planning, and was on top of absolutely everything. On the day of, she didn’t take of just us, but she also showed our families so much kindness. My parents in particular were really grateful to her, especially for helping them resolve a vendor issue, which I had no idea about until after. The day went perfectly from my lens. But that's how you know you have a good coordinator! From the venue to the food to the decor and the service, the CKE team made what could have been a very stressful day utterly seamless. We felt truly taken care of, and the sweet note and pictures they left us at the end of the night were the cherry on top. We're just hoping to one day be invited as guests to a wedding here so we can experience it all for ourselves! Photo Credit: Forged in the North

Our wedding could not have been any better, thanks to Liberty House and their wonderful staff. Aurora was our contact at Liberty House, and she had everything down to a science. I never had to stress about anything. She answered all of our questions quickly and never made me feel dumb for asking the simplest of questions. I truly appreciated her guidance. The food at Liberty House was divine. Truly, their chefs are a league above others. The options we had for food selections were incredible, and we're so happy with everything we picked. Our guests still talk about the mozzarella station! On the day of the wedding, the staff was, in short, flawless. Once we arrived, they were attentive and got us and our wedding party anything we needed. When sending over our decor, I had given them a rough idea of how we wanted things to look. But I never imagined that they'd set up everything so beautifully! They took my one-sentence description and turned it into a masterpiece. Throughout the night, the staff was always there to help. From walking in my dress to getting me hot water when I was freezing, they were always ready to help. When my drink was low, they got me a new one. When I started to leave without my shoes on, they grabbed me some flip flops. When we decided last-minute that we wanted to have a rehearsal dinner at the Madison Rose, they made the process seamless. My wedding wasn't stressful. I felt like a guest at my wedding thanks to their staff. The grounds are gorgeous, the food is to die for, and the staff is exceptional!

Victoria is absolutely phenomenal. Not only is her work INCREDIBLE, but she is an amazing person inside and out. She is obviously so passionate about what she does that that shines through in her work. She does both hair and makeup and never disappoints. She is willing to try anything and always takes your opinion into consideration, because she wants everything to be perfect and for you to be happy. My wedding day was truly the most beautiful and confident I have ever felt in my life… and both my hair and makeup stayed throughout our entire 10 hour day!!! Working with Victoria and her team was an absolute joy.

I'm Angelica, the owner of Dawnpoint Studios! I'm an adventurous and internationally requested wedding/elopement photographer with a focus on sustainability! Here's an unexpected fact - I hated weddings when I first started second shooting them. It broke my heart to see couples being rushed, overwhelmed, and not truly having any connection to couples. That's what drove my passion to breath a fresh air into the wedding experience! Plan with intention, focus on being present, and building genuine relationships with couples! You should be heard, appreciated, and understood. You should feel encouraged to get married your way.

Awarded Best of Zola
Angelica was an angel from the beginning. She is very intentional and genuine in getting to know her clients. It's clear her top priority is helping the couple curate and experience a memorable and one-of-a-kind celebration. From her cheerful spirit to her attention drawn eye, she is an amazing person to work with. Clearly I (we) can't say enough kind things about her, so you should book her and find out for yourself hehe.
