We are Mark & Brittany Edman, NJ based wedding team. Mark created “This Insane Idea” with the vision that anything is possible. As your lead shooter, he had a passion for photography his entire life, capturing moments around him in the most authentic ways until one day Brittany told him “go full time”, it was insane. He fell in love with wedding photography and the emotion it brought out for everyone involved. Coming home so happy with unique stories and photos from all over the state, Brittany knew she needed to join him on wedding days. Having a background in hospitality for 20 years Brittany began coordinating the day alongside Mark.

Awarded Best of Zola
Mark and Brittany are truly exceptional at what they do. My husband and I are not typically in front of a camera, but Mark made us instantly comfortable in a way that allowed him to truly capture the moment between us instead of feeling like models posing for a job. 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. I have never seen the inside of a train station look so magical! If you choose This Insane Idea for your special day, you will not be disappointed!

I cannot say enough amazing things about Justine and her team!!! From the first call to the trial run to the day of the wedding, Justine was the consummate professional—thorough, organized, and a generally calming and beautiful presence. She took the time to hear my vision and my worries (I don’t wear a lot of makeup normally so I was concerned about making sure I felt like myself) and at the practice run, she took the time to make sure I felt comfortable and beautiful before I left her chair. The day of the wedding, she and her team were right on time, and took care of my bridal party, mother, and mother in law quickly and beautifully! They helped my mother in law (who’s even more nervous about makeup than I am) feel relaxed and beautiful, and answered my mom’s very specific concerns with no issues. Everyone in my bridal party felt gorgeous, and so did I!! They brought a calming presence to what could have been a hectic morning, and everyone who was part of the getting ready process agreed that we couldn’t have had a better beauty team.

We booked Teyanna in 2022 for our August 2024 wedding and did not regret it one bit. It was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. Teyanna was beyond accommodating and informative throughout the entire process. Her precise, creative, and professional "client-first" mentality shone through. From countless Zoom calls to meeting up in person to select flowers, it was more than we could have asked for and were expecting. Her professionalism and creativity showed through when we had to improvise our outdoor ceremony to an indoor one thanks to a horrific tropical storm. She called us on the morning of our wedding to ensure we were doing okay and went over every detail with both my husband and me to make sure she and her team didn't miss anything. We cannot wait to work with Teyanna again in the future.

My husband and I hired Madison as our day of coordinator. We did not hire a florist and ended up doing a lot of DIY projects for our wedding decor. We really wanted a professional to help us with setup and take-down of decor on the wedding day, so as not to burden our family/friends and take them away from the event to help. Madison was so friendly in the months leading up to the wedding and offered us lots of helpful advice on things we didn't even think to prepare for, like arranging seating charts and timing of processional songs. Our original venue coordinator ended up having to move away just a couple weeks before our wedding day, and Madison took the lead in syncing with the new venue coordinator on all the things we'd talked about. This really helped us out and took a load off our plate in those last few weeks before the wedding! The day of, she came early to the venue and, like a fairy godmother, had incorporated all of our decorations beautifully before we even arrived, so we were able to take lots of photos beforehand! Throughout the event, she cleverly found ways to repurpose some of our decor items to give them a second life, like setting reception flower arrangements along the room's bookshelves to dress them up for the ceremony, making a beautiful display with our ceremony roses and boutonnieres on our memory table, and using me and my bridesmaids' bouquets to create a beautiful sweetheart table arrangement! We were so incredibly thrilled with how well Madison and her team were able to follow our vision and exceed our expectations. A final sweet memory I have from near the end of the night - my hair was getting very tangled with my dress buttons on my back from dancing, and I was overheating and sweaty. Madison and her team arranged my hair into a beautiful low bun style so I could go back and have fun dancing again without worrying about it tangling further or looking bad. :) I'm so thankful we hired Madison as our day of coordinator, and we can't recommend her enough!!

Here at Tree Films, we make your story a priority. We strive to get to know our couples and how they came to be, down to the silly coincidences and weird first dates. We like to think that our mission goes beyond just documenting your wedding day -- the goal is to create an unforgettable experience! We are invested in making each video as genuine as possible, as if your story was being told by a best friend who witnessed all the important stuff. Tell us who you are as a couple and let us put together a video that tells the story from day one to I do!

Treefilms is a stellar photography and videography company! After our venue, they were the second vendor we booked as photography and videography was very important to us. Ashley was responsive and kind from the beginning! She was open to our ideas in regard to location and then made it look even better in the photo video! We felt so comfortable during that shoot and at our wedding in front of the camera with them. They gave us enough direction that it was easy to know what to do, but did not result in stiff or overly posed pictures. The candid shots that they captured throughout the wedding day are photos we will cherish; they were able to capture all the emotions so perfectly. The team worked seamlessly with all the other vendors, they truly know what they’re doing! (Shoutout to Ashley for doing up the buttons on my dress!) Our wedding video is a work of art, I don’t think it’s comparable to the standard videos produced by other vendors. Treefilms is the vendor we recommend most to friends and family, and we look forward to working with them again in the future!

We had an amazing experience with Mel and Go Event Group. Not only is Mel professional and extremely skilled in her field, she is so incredibly kind and down to earth. She made us awkward birds feel so insanely comfortable in front of the camera. She helped us feel relaxed and at ease the entire time while still directing us in a way to capture all the magic. She could read the room and could tell when my husband, who genuinely hates getting his pictures done, needed a breather. The pictures are more than I could have ever imagined, she captured the essence of the day so perfectly. And did I mention she was 9 month pregnant!? Such a trouper, didn’t leave until she captured every moment of the day/night. Highly recommend, book her NOW!

Their excellent work and attention to detail resulted in so many compliments from our guests.

Hi there! My name is Madison and I am a wedding photographer based in the beautiful seaside town of Newport, Rhode Island. Although I call Newport home, I provide my services to couples throughout the greater New England area and am always willing to travel worldwide for my clients' special days. I have always been passionate about capturing life's most special moments through my camera lens, and there's nothing quite like the magic of a wedding day. I consider it an honor and privilege to document the love story of each unique couple I work with.

Awarded Best of Zola
We were so thrilled to have Madison as our wedding photographer. From our engagement shoot to the wedding at Fort Adams, she was a total pleasure to work with. We had a little rust being in front of the camera, but one of Madison’s great skills is making you feel comfortable, natural, and helping to pose you. On top of being a pro at what she does, Madison is super down to earth and easy to be around. She also has a great sense of humor and kept us laughing throughout our shoots. Madison nailed the timing of everything on our wedding day — we got the photos we wanted without feeling rushed or missing out on time with each other or our families. She made the whole process so smooth and enjoyable. We couldn’t recommend her enough! If you want someone who’s talented, chill, and cares about making your day memorable, Madison is the one!

Zina was so patient and thrived in a new atmosphere when I asked her to shoot my interior design projects. Her patience made it so easy for us to work together and we trusted each others talents and expertise to create her beautiful images. I will definitely be working with her again! If you’re ever doing an in-home shoot, she will nail it.
