Eric Coleman 
Rating: 5.0 (7 reviews)
Forked River, NJ
  • Photographer
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $1,500

Hello couples! Ive spent a lot of my career working with celebrities and professional athletes all over the world but have always had a connection with the wedding photography world and decided to go full time with that a few years ago! Im here because I love this, and believe that EVERYONE should have access to affordable, quality coverage for their special day. Id be honored to shoot your special day and seek out every moment I can for you, your family and your friends!

I can’t say enough about how incredible our experience was with Eric as our wedding photographer. Located at the Jersey Shore, where most photographers focus on sunny beach weddings, I was looking for something different. Our wedding took place in the fall, full of rich earth tones and a fun, edgy vibe that centered not just on romance, but on the presence of our children. It was important to us that the day felt authentic, emotional, and full of movement. And, just to make it more fun, ours was a Halloween wedding. We had a formal ceremony followed by a costume reception, and Eric embraced every bit of it. He didn’t just roll with our unique requests—he elevated them. He found the perfect location: a hidden gem that was edgy, raw, and exactly what I didn’t even know I was hoping for. The backdrop had this cinematic, timeless feel that makes you wonder “where in the world could they be,” which paired beautifully with our nontraditional theme. Photographing four young kids is no easy task, especially on such a big day. But Eric’s speed, patience, and instincts were unbelievable. He captured fleeting moments—tiny glances, quick smiles, the chaos and joy of our family—without ever losing sight of the romance and connection between me and my husband. Every image tells a story. Every photo feels felt. If you’re looking for a photographer who goes beyond the typical and brings a true artistic eye to your day—especially one that includes children, unconventional details, or an untraditional setting—Eric is your guy. We will treasure these photos forever.

From the engagement party, bridal shower, bachelorette party, and the wedding- Mariah has made this whole process easy, fun, and enjoyable.

Addiction Floral 
Rating: 5.0 (4 reviews)
Forked River, NJ
  • Florist
  • Starts at $1,500

Hi, I’m Kristine—and I’m a total flower addict. It all started in 2004 when I walked into a local flower shop hoping to land a receptionist job… and somehow never left. Fast forward 20 years, and I’m still head over heels for blooms. With a background in fine art and graphic design, I see flowers as nature’s artwork—and my favorite way to get creative. I love dreaming up floral designs that are just as unique (and fabulous) as the people I make them for.

Booking Kristine for my wedding flowers was the best decision I made for my wedding. She did an absolutely breathtaking job and my wedding guests are still talking about how beautiful the flowers were. They were truly even better than I could have imagined. My bouquet was unbelievable and every arrangement from the flower arch down to the bud vases on the tables were exactly what I had hoped they would be and more. The flowers were very high quality and my bouquet, my bridesmaids' bouquets, and the bud vases that guests took home lasted many days beyond the wedding. Kristine was so enthusiastic about my wedding vision and color palette and was great at communication throughout the planning process. She sent a proposal after our first conversation that brought together my inspiration with her ideas, and was flexible with changes I had leading up to the big day. She was so friendly and so supportive throughout the process and was extremely dedicated on the day of to make sure everything looked perfect. Even when there was an issue with one of the corsages she stopped everything to fix it on the spot so that it was ready for the ceremony. I highly recommend Kristine at Addiction Floral for her beautiful floral style, enthusiasm, and attention to detail. She has the talent, artistry, and vision you can trust to make your wedding vision come to life!

I can’t speak this companies praises enough. From the beginning of booking, the communication was incredible. We requested Agnes for our wedding photographer and were delighted to get her. Both our photographer and DJ were booked through them. They walked you through planning call stages prior to our wedding. Both our photographer Agnes and our DJ Mark Allan called us directly to confirm details, and go over timelines and our direct requests. We were impressed with Agnes from start to finish of our day. She communicated well, gave amazing direction, and did her very best with our rowdy group full of kids and ensured that we could get pictures that will last a lifetime. She kept us comfortable, calm, at ease and still managed to make the experience incredible regardless of the rain. DJ Mark Allan was everything we were hoping for. Organized, timely, and fun. He was very helpful with helping us get messages out to the guests, playing the brides most requested songs, and keeping the guests and vibe fun and exciting. He was amazing and loved having him as our wedding DJ.

Jeremy and Jennifer are a husband and wife team! With 3:17 Photography you get two photographers to capture your day!! What is better than two people in love capturing your once in a lifetime moments? Your wedding means so much to us and we want to make your day perfect from beginning to end!!! When we started our company we promised that we would always charge what we could of afforded when we got married. We feel as though so many couples are being taken advantage of by other companies.

Awarded Best of Zola
Jennifer and Jeremy are truly the most incredible people you could have by your side on your wedding day. From the very first moment, they made us feel completely at ease, and it quickly became clear that they were so much more than photographers — they were our guides, our support system, and our calm in the chaos. Honestly, without them, so much could have gone differently; they were absolutely priceless and worth every single penny. Their professionalism, kindness, and preparedness are unmatched. From planning to execution, they thought of everything — big and small — and made sure we never had to worry about a thing. On the day itself, I watched them quietly put out fires, organize people, and ensure we had everything we needed — all while capturing the most breathtaking, emotional, and timeless photographs. Every single picture tells a story, and every story is more beautiful than we could have imagined. What really sets Jennifer and Jeremy apart is how deeply they care. We trusted them completely, and that trust was met with nothing but care, attention, and joy. Our family relied on them throughout the day more than anyone else, and they were always there with a steady hand, a kind smile, and an eye for the moments we didn’t even notice. Even with a huge team of vendors around us, they were the ones who made everything feel effortless and truly magical. Hiring Jennifer and Jeremy wasn’t just about photography — it was about having people we could trust completely to capture and protect our memories, to make the day feel seamless, and to give us photos that we will treasure forever. They are extraordinary, both as artists and as human beings, and I cannot recommend them enough. If you’re considering them, do it — they will make your wedding day everything you dreamed of and more.

Hi! I’m Shauna — but you can call me Shay. I’m the photographer behind Milestone. What started as a side business in 2015 became my full-time dream in 2022, and I thank God daily that I get to serve amazing couples through my work. I met my husband at 15 and we’ve been together ever since, so love stories have always meant a lot to me. As a wife and mom of two adventurous boys, I know how meaningful life’s biggest milestones are. My goal is to give every couple a relaxed, fun experience and a gallery of memories you’ll treasure for a lifetime.

I’ve had the pleasure of experiencing Shauna’s work up close 3 separate times. After seeing Shauna effortlessly handle my brother’s wedding (during Covid I should add) I knew when it was my time I needed to have her. I booked Shauna for my engagement and my wedding. My husband and I don’t love posing for the camera but Shauna made us feel so comfortable and got some amazing photos. She’s fun, confident, and talented. Every bride needs Shauna in their corner. She isn’t afraid to stick up for her brides and work to get the best shot. She handles a timeline with ease and truly made my day that much easier.

Awarded Best of Zola
Sandy made our wedding ceremony absolutely perfect! From beginning to end she helped us so much. Sandy was always super easy to get a hold of. It never took her more than a day to respond back to any emails we sent her (which to anyone planning a wedding knows is key to have vendors respond as quickly as possible). She made the ceremony so unique by reaching out to some of our friends and family to ask them question about my husband and I and incorporated their answers into the ceremony, which made us and our friends and family feel even more apart of the ceremony then they already were. And everyone knows that one of the post stressful parts of all of this is writing your vows. Which Sandy knows (of course) and she goes above and beyond to help with that she gave us a detailed list of things to incorporate (if you decide to write your own) along with a list of already made vows that you can choose from or use to help create your own version of. Which helped so much to alleviate some of the stress of it all. If I were to do it all again I would choose Sandy every time she was so helpful through the planning of it all and when it came to the actual execution of it, it was perfect and true to her business name, felt like it came right out of a storybook written just for us.

Many of our friends and family were shocked that the flowers were wooden! It was so special to be able to pick the exact colors we wanted. From the ceremony garland to the bouquets and boutonnieres to the centerpieces and cake flowers, Dana were above and beyond our wildest expectations. You truly will not be disappointed!

Hello! My name is Fen, nice to meet you online! I’m a freelance cinematographer and editor. I split my time between shooting weddings and indie films. I enjoy doing both because I love the thrill of operating a camera and I love people and stories! I have shot almost 400 weddings and I edit everything myself. In my spare time I love swimming, hiking, skiing, traveling with my family, writing and learning all kinds of stuff. I’m very curious about the world!

Fen was wonderful to work with for out wedding on October 8th, 2023! From the very first virtual meeting all the way through the big day itself, she was so friendly and professional! On the day of our wedding she coordinated with our photographer to get video capturing the entire day from start to finish, sometimes from the same angles as our photographer and at other times different angles or multiple angles all at once! We opted to receive both the full-length format video as well as the short highlight summary, and they are both fantastic! From the drone shots of the venue in the introduction, to the wonderful B-roll video clips in the transitions, and overlaid music at times where it made sense, the videos we received are just so wonderfully put together and capture the events of the day perfectly! The highlight video struck a great balance of events throughout the day and was great to be able to post to our socials. We asked for a small change to the highlight video, and Fen was more than accommodating and had an updated version sent back out to us very quickly. And when we received and watched the full 3 hour edit, we felt transported right back to that day and like were able to completely re-live it. We are so happy with our choice to work with Fen, and overjoyed to have this special record of our big day for the rest of our lives. Overall we cannot say enough good things about Fen and her work, and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a videographer!

My fiancé and I took our engagement photos at Resorts Casino and we had the best experience! We chose Resorts specifically for the nostalgic charm that the casino and grounds offer. Nancy, the events manager, kindly tended to all of our questions and needs before and during the shoot. She made sure we were escorted by security as she guided us to all the best spots around the casino and the rest of the building to take photos. She walked us through a beautiful ballroom to get to the balcony with an amazing view of the boardwalk and the famous Resorts sign to get incredible pictures. Lastly we were able to shoot in the lovely classic theater that we didn't even know existed and was perfect for the theme of our photos. There are a variety of options to choose from whether you're planing a wedding, engagement party, bridal shower, bachelorette party (which we saw while stayed there) or just taking photos like us. I definitely recommend Resorts Casino for an event during your wedding journey.

I'm Kaitlin Noel—a wife to Michael, mother to Nicholas and Ryan, and dog mom to our French Bulldog, Ellie. I’m a passionate photographer, traveler, and incurable romantic. When I’m not shooting weddings around the globe, you’ll find me in Cape May, shopping at my favorite local spots with a coffee in hand or walking on the beach. Family is everything to me and my clients are an extension of that. I could eat tacos daily, adore martinis, and decorate my home with a coastal chic inspiration. As an international photographer, I have the pleasure of traveling and experiencing new coastal towns and culters which brings me so much joy!

Awarded Best of Zola
We chose Kaitlin for her specific style of photographer. Her pre wedding forms made the day of seamless. Her assistant and her navigated our 4 kids and large immediate family. They made sure to capture all of our special requests. Our collection turned out amazing.
