Jenelle Kappe Photography

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $8,575
  • Serves Forked River, NJ

I believe experiences outweigh possessions. I have a slight obsession with making my dog pose on random objects, just so I can upload the photo to Instagram. I wish to one day make out in a hot summer rainstorm. I collect nearly empty perfume & lotion bottles that I will never finish. Their smells bring back so many good memories. I believe the relationships that inspire you the most should be the ones held closest to your heart.

Jenelle was absolutely amazing as our wedding photographer! From the moment we met her at our engagement shoot to our wedding, she has made the entire experience stress-free and relaxed. Her calm and chill vibe helped keep everything low-pressure, allowing us to truly enjoy each moment of our wedding day. Jenelle is so accommodating and went above and beyond the entire day/night whether it was helping with my gown, the Groom’s boutonniere or capturing photos of us and our family in the rain. Her photography is breathtaking, capturing the emotion and romance of our special day in the most beautiful way. We are so grateful to have worked with Jenelle and cannot recommend her enough!

During a difficult time, Lindsay at Gemella Fiori Designs went above and beyond by creating a complimentary memorial bouquet for my stepmom's chair, who had passed away just 2 months before the wedding.

Sophie Gabriella Photography 

5.0

  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Serves Forked River, NJ

I believe there is beauty in everything. From magnificent sunsets, to even something as small as a cell. I guess capturing beauty is what really drew me to photography. The opportunity to freeze a moment in time, the little (and big), BEAUTIFUL moments... and be able to come back to them by just looking at a picture... It's truly amazing when you think about it... I enjoy photography, art, cooking, music, and the outdoors (when it's warm). But most of all, I love spending time with my Creator. I'm just running the race to my final destination.

Sophie and Yelena are the absolute best duo you could possibly hire for your wedding day. Not only is the product absolutely stunning (and I only have highlights so far!), but they emcee your wedding day in the most productive, professional way. Yelena and Sophie became family members within the first hour of the day. They kept the entire day running smoothly, made us feel so comfortable and loved, and took such care and time with our family and friends. We have two very young kids, and they were PHENOMENAL with them. They worked perfectly with other vendors, with our coordination team, and venue. They knew who our most important guests were, and truly, never left my side the whole night to make sure every moment was captured. I truly felt they were apart of our family. I cannot express how wonderful our experience has been from engagement shoot through to the last moments of our wedding day. If you are hiring a photographer for your wedding, or for any reason, look NO FURTHER than Sophie Gabriella Photography. You will be blown away.

On an absolutely frigid day last January, we had a blast at our engagement shoot and the shots were phenomenal! We knew we were in for a treat on our wedding day, and Tommy delivered in spades. His positive presence kept the mood light while we set up shot after shot, which made a long process much more enjoyable for our families and wedding party. They were singing his praises all day! He even finished our shot list ahead of schedule. We received the photos quickly, and we can say they are absolutely gorgeous.

Welcome to LBI National Golf & Resort, where you can immerse yourself in the experience of nearly 200 acres of meticulously maintained and reimagined golf, accompanied by a memorable type of hospitality culture. LBI National is a destination that attracts guests from all over the nation, whether they are seeking to enjoy our championship golf course or indulge in locally inspired cuisine and fully renovated guest accommodations. Situated on carefully tended grounds, we are conveniently located just minutes away from the bridge of Long Beach Island and within walking distance to the bustling waterfront town of Little Egg Harbor City. Our 35,000-square-foot clubhouse serves as the heart of our resort, featuring a variety of amenities including restaurants, a pro shop, outdoor spaces, and an incredible view of the Atlantic City skyline.

I don’t even know where to begin! Our wedding was 5/18/25 but we planned it for over a year and a half. From the beginning, Stephanie was so warming and really drew us into the beautiful venue as it was still under renovation. She made the booking process so simple and showed us nothing but kindness. In the midst of the waiting period of planning, Caitlin became the new venue coordinator who was our go to girl for everything. Anything I threw at her, wanted to change, or was concerned about, Caitlin handled with happiness and ease. She answered a million and one emails from me, met with me multiple times and really helped my vision come to life. I can’t say enough about her because Caitlin really did run the show from the moment we began working together to the very end of our wedding weekend. She helped plan and organize our rehearsal dinner, morning after brunch, and stuck by our sides from the morning of our wedding to the end of our after party (at 2 am the following morning). She was involved in every single step of the decorating and events that took place on our wedding day and I don’t know how would it have all been executed without her. Caitlin is the real MVP of our wedding and I can’t thank her enough for all of the help and kindness she showed toward myself, my husband, and our families. Like I said, anything I threw at her, she handled and took care of with a smile. She really is the best The rest of the staff, Scott, Maddie, and Avery were amazing during our wedding weekend as well. Scott was so kind and helped my family in any way possible with the room bookings and Maddie and Avery also stuck aside mine and my husband’s side to make sure we were okay throughout the day. The staff was all in all, so attentive, kind, and helpful throughout the entire wedding day. Anything we needed, they were all there to help. As far as the wedding, guests are still raving about how beautiful the grounds were and how delicious all of the food was. The bartenders and servers were all so amazing as well. I cannot recommend and thank everybody at LBI National enough for the most amazing wedding day we could have.

Desiree’ Wolf with Devoted Wolf Events was our day of coordinator and also did amazing design work for our wedding at Hotel LBI. We loved working with her and are so happy with how it all turned out. She kept us on track during planning, provided insight and support along the way, was responsive and so kind and easy to work with. She took our abstract visions for how we wanted our wedding to look and made them a reality, including joining meetings with our florist and collaborating closely with her, which was essential the look we were going for. On the day of the wedding, Desiree’ and her team made sure we had everything we needed and executed our vision perfectly. They worked really well with all our vendors. We felt like Desiree’ was just as excited for our wedding as we were! Desiree’s design work was incredible. I loved that her pricing model allowed us to add on installations for some of the big ideas we had, such as the attached EPIC escort display and guestbook (see photos!).

The Claridge Hotel was the perfect venue to celebrate my wedding! The Claridge is elegant and full of charm. The staff at the Claridge went above and beyond! Jeff did a remarkable job! He was very helpful, accommodating, and was communicative, answering every question I had promptly. He was there for me every step of the way from the tour of the Claridge to my wedding day. Lance, the banquet manager, was phenomenal! He worked tirelessly the day of my wedding, ensuring that everything was in place and ran smoothly. He was so kind in helping me envision and bring about the wedding reception of my dreams, and also kept me organized by helping me create a timeline for the day of my wedding. Curtis did a fantastic job handling guest room bookings! He stayed in communication with me until the day of my wedding, accommodating requests with ease. The bridal assistant was amazing! She constantly checked on me and my husband and brought us whatever we needed. The waitstaff and bartenders at the Claridge provided outstanding service. It made me so happy to hear from so many of our wedding guests that our wedding was the best wedding they have ever attended. I am forever grateful for the memorable experience, it was truly the best day of my life!
