  • Classic style
  • Starts at $4,800

Being able to look back, remember the great laughs, and reminisce a particular night is what we all look forward to. Our goal is to help everyone remember one of the best nights by telling your story through our eyes. There is no better compliment than for you to show your loved ones what happened through one of the best days of your lives.

“We cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience during our engagement shoot! From the moment we arrived, the energy was infectious — we were laughing, moving, and genuinely having the time of our lives. It never once felt like a photoshoot; it felt like spending the afternoon with a friend who just happened to have a camera. What truly set our photographer apart was the perfect balance of fun and professionalism. They kept the session lighthearted and exciting while never losing their sharp eye for the details that make a photo extraordinary — the way the light hit just right, thoughtful staging of every scene, and gentle, natural posing direction that made us both feel completely at ease in front of the camera. No stiff, awkward poses here — every shot felt candid and authentic. Their patience was also something we deeply appreciated. They never rushed us, always made sure we were comfortable, and took the time to get each shot exactly right. You can feel that care and intentionality in every single image. And the final photos? Absolutely stunning. The quality speaks for itself — crisp, vibrant, and full of genuine emotion. We are so in love with every single one and will treasure them forever. If you are on the fence, consider this your sign to book them immediately. You will not regret it for a single second. We are already counting down the days until our wedding so we can work with them again!”

We’re Mark and Brittany Edman, the husband-and-wife team behind This Insane Idea Photography. Brittany was the one who encouraged Mark to take his lifelong love of photography full time. It sounded like an insane idea at the time, but documenting weddings quickly became the work we love most. Mark photographs the day as it unfolds: the big emotions, the quiet moments, and everything in between. Brittany brings 20 years of hospitality experience to helping couples feel cared for and keeping the day flowing. Together, we get to know you and the people you love so you can feel comfortable, stay present, and enjoy your wedding. Our approach is simple: nothing added, nothing taken away. Your story, captured as it felt.

Awarded Best of Zola
“It was an absolute pleasure to have This Insane Idea photograph not only our entire wedding weekend in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, but also our engagement in New York City two years earlier. I have a close relationship with Mark and Brittany, the founders of This Insane Idea, so it would be easy to assume that’s why we chose them. The reality is that I have always been incredibly impressed by Mark and his team’s talent behind the camera, as well as Brittany’s knowledge of wedding planning and understanding of how a wedding day should flow. I truly could not have asked for a better photography team. Throughout our wedding weekend, everything felt completely under control and according to plan. We captured all of the photographs that mattered to us without ever feeling like the photography took us away from actually experiencing the weekend. I was especially impressed by the way Mark worked with our friends and family. So many people told us afterward how comfortable they felt, including family members who normally aren’t at ease in front of a camera. Mark gives clear direction while still making everything feel natural and relaxed, and that really comes through in the photographs. As a bride, photography was truly the last thing I had to worry about because I knew Mark and his team had it handled. We received sneak peeks almost immediately, and our full gallery came back incredibly quickly. I also really appreciated how receptive Mark and Brittany were to our ideas and how closely they listened to our vision. As a professional designer, I was very involved in the creative direction of our entire wedding and naturally had thoughts about the photography as well. They listened to my perspective while bringing their own expertise and creativity, and the result felt completely aligned with what we had envisioned. Most importantly, they beautifully captured not just how our wedding looked, but the people and moments that made the weekend so special. Our friends and family were just as thrilled with the photographs as we were. We are incredibly grateful to Mark, Brittany, and the entire This Insane Idea team for documenting both our engagement and wedding so beautifully. We truly could not recommend them more to any couple looking for a photography team they can completely trust with such an important time in their lives.”

Freehold, NJ
  • DJ

Hi! I’m Joe Orlando (Jo Flash), owner of Orlando Event Services. I’ve been DJing since 1989, bringing decades of experience to weddings while evolving with today’s music, technology and production. My focus is simple: make your celebration feel like YOU and keep it stress-free. We plan the soundtrack and timeline together so everything flows naturally. I mix live, read the room and know how to bring generations together on one dance floor. Expect polished MCing, professional sound, modern setups and a packed dance floor without the cheesy DJ routine. Based in NJ, serving NY/NJ/PA/DE and available to travel.

“We truly can’t thank Joe enough for making our wedding day exactly what we envisioned—high-energy, perfectly organized, and nonstop fun from start to finish. From our ceremony to cocktail hour, reception, and even the after party, they handled every part of the day flawlessly. I’m very timeline-focused, and they followed our schedule like a dream—smooth transitions, perfect pacing, and not a single moment felt rushed or delayed. They also worked incredibly well with all of our vendors, which made the whole day feel calm and coordinated behind the scenes (even with 300 guests!). The production was next-level. We had a photobooth, nightclub lighting, a photo montage, dancing on a cloud, and sparks—and they executed everything perfectly. The room looked insane, the energy stayed up all night, and the dance floor was packed constantly. The music was on point, the announcements were polished, and they read the crowd so well that every age group was out there having a blast. If you want a team that’s professional, organized, and knows how to throw an unforgettable party, book them. They didn’t just DJ our wedding—they elevated the entire experience.”

“I want to share my wonderful experience with Alexa Lynn Photography. My experience started as soon as I booked Alexa as my wedding photographer. Immediately she was super communicative and just made me feel comfortable. Shortly after booking, we scheduled our engagement shoot. We met for the first time and I knew I made the right choice. She is so sweet and her photography speaks for itself. Look at her instagram page or her website and you will find the most amazing photos. Leading up to my wedding I enjoyed seeing all the other weddings and mini sessions she did. Seeing these, I knew she would photograph my wedding beautifully. I also wanted to hire a videographer and content creator and Alexa connected me to two wonderful people for both. Fast forward to wedding day… Alexa arrived early and ready to go. I felt a weight lifted from my shoulders when she arrived because I knew from that point on she would run the show and keep everyone organized. She did just that & with a smile & the most positive vibes ever. Even when the weather didn’t cooperate for some of my day, she made all the shots happen exactly how I dreamed. Her photography style is simply amazing and timeless, I highly recommend her! ”

“We met John and Lauren at a wedding expo and didn't even bother looking elsewhere. They have extensive knowledge regarding the use of lighting and creative angles and demonstrate that greatly in their photography. In addition to awesome pictures (for both our engagement and wedding photos), John and Lauren are truly wonderful to work with. My husband and I are not picture people and were very nervous about participating in photoshoots, but they put as at ease immediately and made the whole experience quite enjoyable. I highly recommend South Street to anyone looking to capture their special moments with amazing photos and have a good time while doing it.”

My parents commented on how well he seemed to know who everyone was and focus in on them throughout the day. He made sure to get every single photo on my shot list and I really couldn't be more satisfied with how the photos came out. Book him for your wedding. He is so nice and amazing at what he does.”

Arnie was excellent with communication along the way, gave us clear timeframes as to when he needed our selections so he could be prepared, and showed up early to the wedding to prep his keyboards. This speaks to his professionalism. Arnie played many beloved songs from his repertoire and played my favorite song for my processional, From the Ground Up by Dan and Shay. Throughout the evening and in the weeks to follow, I received many compliments about what an excellent addition Arnie was to our wedding day, with many guests asking for requests and his contact info for future events.

They set up & cleaned everything up for us which was lovely. the hotel bar stayed open late (sunday wedding) but you couldn’t make it private. so you had people at the bar trying to add to an open tab. you get a room block, the director of rooms Rebecca is very easy to work with as well. the outdoor ceremony space is gorgeous!!!

He did such an amazing job making our ceremony feel incredibly personal and meaningful. So many of our guests told us afterward that it was one of the best wedding ceremonies they had ever attended.

“We had such a great experience with Enchanted Celebrations for our wedding! From the beginning, Summer was wonderful to work with. She was very responsive, helpful, and always quick to answer our questions throughout the planning process. Our photographer, Ash, was amazing. He was extremely professional, attentive, and so easy to work with. You can really see how devoted and passionate he is about his work and how much he cares about getting the perfect shots. He had great ideas throughout the day and made us feel completely taken care of. Even some of our friends noticed how great he was and commented on it afterward. Our videographer, Randolph, was also amazing. His enthusiasm and positive energy made us feel so comfortable and confident in front of the camera. He was very attentive throughout the day, and we could tell he genuinely cared about capturing all the important moments. The only thing I would recommend to future couples is that if you choose a specific photographer from their portfolio, ask Enchanted Celebrations to confirm that person’s availability before making your payment. We selected a photographer when we booked about eight months before our wedding, but around two weeks after booking, we were told that photographer wasn’t available. Their contract does state that if your selected photographer isn’t available, they can assign another photographer from those available, but I would have appreciated having the availability confirmed before we booked and paid. That being said, we ended up being extremely happy with Ash and Randolph. They were both wonderful to work with and made us feel like we were in great hands on such an important day. We can’t wait to see everything they captured. Thank you to the entire Enchanted Celebrations team! Her are pictures taken from Ash the photographer for the engagement shoot !”

“We were the lucky ones, hiring this dynamic duo! Jeremy and Jenn were extremely efficient, fun, and caught all of the moments that were truly special to us. Wedding day, they came in and literally handled it all. Jenn even sewed my nieces dress so it fit her properly. She was the master of all things. The day went amazing from 1st look to the cutting of our cake. They made it all so easy for us. I was a ball of nerves and Jenn made it all ok. Haha. Both of our families were telling us both, how wonderful they were. Jack and I knew from the moment we spoke to them, they would not only do a wonderful job, but we would become friends after. We cannot thank you both enough for the stellar job you've done.”

“This is what dreams are made of. When I was a little girl, I had big dreams about what my future wedding would look like. As I got older and realized how much everything costs, I started to think my dream wedding would stay just that—a dream. But one thing never changed: I always wanted to get married in a little white chapel and walk down the aisle to the sound of a violin. Petya made that dream come true. From the moment I first reached out to her, we instantly connected. I knew, without a doubt, that no matter where we ended up getting married, she had to be a part of it. I’d listen to her music on YouTube and just melt. She’s cheerful yet calming, incredibly talented, and truly helped put me at ease throughout the process. The morning of my wedding was stressful, but Petya texted me with encouragement, lifting my spirits and getting me excited for the day ahead. Guests even told me how beautiful the atmosphere was as they waited for my arrival—all because of the ambiance she created through her music. As the church doors opened and I saw my soon-to-be husband standing at the altar, the sound of Petya’s violin made it feel like I was walking into a dream. I couldn’t see anyone else—it was as if her melody was wrapping around just the two of us. It might sound dramatic, but we had a very Christian ceremony, and we asked her to play worship music. It made the moment feel sacred, like God’s presence was truly among us. At the end of the ceremony, I ran up to her and couldn’t help but gush about how incredible she was. She gave us our fairytale moment.”

“Ledg Entertainment was the heart and soul of our wedding day. Literally cannot say enough good things! From the very first conversation, their communication style was professional, thorough and easy. They took the time to understand our vision and preferences, and worked seamlessly to bring our wedding to life. Every single person I spoke to about our DJ and the planning process DJ Cam has was blown away — it felt like he cared as if it was his own wedding! The quality of their work was truly the best of the best - they kept the dance floor PACKED all night, I myself literally never left the dance floor.

“Cyan Blue Photography was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding day. From the very first interaction, Jillian and Tom's communication was clear, consistent, and thorough, putting us at ease throughout the entire planning process. Their work is truly stunning - the photos they captured are beautiful, filled with creative angles and a keen attention to detail that made our special day look like it belonged in a magazine. Beyond their incredible photography, Jillian and Tom went above and beyond, helping with everything from adjusting my dress to tracking down family members.
