  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Freehold, NJ

I’m an artist, a husband, a brother, a dear friend, an inquirer of life and a creative soul. I was born and raised in central New Jersey (if such a thing exists) where I still reside. I have a deep appreciation for the nostalgic things in life. Things that have the ability to bring you back to a happy place in your lifetime. I suppose this is why I love what I do so much, why it is so fulfilling. I am creating those nostalgic things for everyone else.

My wife and I had the absolute pleasure to work with Tim for our wedding! He has such an amazing vision for absolutely stunning pictures! Wedding photos are one of the most important aspects of your big day, and his shots were nothing short of spectacular! His focus and attention to detail puts him way above the rest. We can’t wait to work with him in the future for other major life events. Thank you for your amazing work. We HIGHLY recommend Tim

What we love most about weddings is their individuality! We take the time to understand our couples, their preferences, and expectations. We discuss every detail of their wedding day, ensuring they're comfortable with our approach. We won't ask you to do anything cheesy for the camera; our job is to observe and document the natural, amazing moments. We're professionals at making you look and feel your best, knowing when to take the spotlight and when to blend into the background. Let's connect through the inquiry form so we can learn more about you and discuss your wedding day in detail. We're eagerly looking forward to meeting you.

Jose at Delia Studios and Delia overall was so easy to work with. I met with multiple videographers before Delia and definitely felt the most comfortable with them and felt like we were getting a ton of videos and content for the money we were paying. Not just any videos though, ALL of our videos turned out amazing and we could not be happier. On wedding day, they were on time, so creative and got amazing footage from it. It is so clear how much pride they have in their work and I would recommend Delia to anyone. They will answer your emails quickly and it is a very personal experience. Thank you Jose and Delia team!

Presley Planning 

4.8

  • Planner
  • Offers 4 services
  • Starts at $2,500
  • Serves Freehold, NJ

I'm Victoria, Owner + Lead Planner at Presley Planning with four years experience in the wedding industry and seven years in beauty marketing. My unique background is where I became the detail-oriented and creative professional that I am today (& weddings are ALL about the details!). My wedding experience includes traditional and non-traditional venues, large outdoor tented weddings and bespoke intimate ceremonies. I customize each package to my clients’ needs and make sure you're enjoying the process along the way! The only thing I love more than my husband + two pups (George + Henry), is making my clients' dream wedding vision come to life!

Victoria, Danielle and Kyle can solve and will solve absolutely anything that comes up on the big day and all the days leading up. I was a bride on a budget so was unsure if I "needed" a planner. Let me tell you, you do, and you freaking deserve it. No matter how much you plan you WILL need her. Every question, she has the answer and the 4 weeks leading up to your wedding are insane, so the fact that she coordinated all the communication with vendors legit saved my job. Day of, she and her squad showed up with a legit Mary Poppins bag of anything you would need day of. From safety pins to foot numbing spray to q tips. Because all of the reviews of planners on this site are glowing and positive, which makes it hard to choose, let me list out what she did for me as she was actually a super woman planner. 1. On my way to the church I realized I didn't have my veil. I gave her a call, she picked up on the first ring and didn't even bother to ask me where it was all she said was "no problem"! She sped back to venue and retrieved it and made it back to the church right on time. 2. After a sunshine filled week nothing short of an actual cyclone descended on my wedding day. I was determined to make my boardwalk pics happen (despite that legit never being possible). As I looked at my frigid bridesmaids I couldn't hold it in and the full sob occurred. We relocated into the venue and I was shocked to find my venue 100% set up 2 hours early and it looked absolutely stunning. Victoria had foreseen this inevitability and saved my day. 3. Oh and about the full sob, she was there with a large glass of Chardonnay, the perfect shade of Dior lip gloss and a beauty blender to patch me back together after. 4. The entire day went on exactly as planned per the timeline bc she was there! Ladies, your not going to be wearing your Apple Watch on your wedding day and you are going to be so emotional you don't deserve to be thinking about what's next. 5. We forgot my MIL favorite bottle of wine at my dads house, Danielle zoomed to his house, got in using a hidden key, retrieved it and showed up and handed it to me drenched from the rain. 6. After my wedding day when I felt guilty for having social anxiety the day of she was so supportive and honest in telling me all my feelings were 100% normal and don't trust everything you see on instagram (many brides are unprepared for 300 eyes on them). Last thing, unlike some NJ planners that only do weddings over 100k, she isn't like that AT ALL. The best planners can work with any budget, and Victoria is actually THE BEST.

Third party messages will not be seen._______Stella Fatalé is a New Jersey bridal hair team created to make brides feel gorgeous and confident as you walk down that aisle. Natali and her team of hairstylists focus on personalizing every style, from glamorous updos to romantic waves, specifically for you. Essentially, our goal is to leave you with an experience you can look back on and feel beautiful for a lifetime.

I had met Natali at a styled shoot a few months before my engagement pictures and loved the way she did my hair. The style lasted all day despite the heat, humidity, and me sweating like crazy! I knew I needed to hire her for my engagement shoot hair. Prior to the shoot, she had a coffee date where she discussed my expectations and her recommendations. She picked out my hair extensions, ordered them, and treated them prior to my shoot. My hair came out perfectly! It was a windy day on the boardwalk and my hair was getting blown around like crazy, yet looked amazing in every shot. I received so many compliments on my hair once my family and friends saw the pictures. More than anything, Natali makes you feel like you are an old friend that just happens to be having their hair done. She goes above and beyond in all aspects of her business and makes you feel like the upmost priority. I highly, highly recommend!!

What a show! The Stompers absolutely blew the roof off the joint, keeping the dance floor not just packed but singing along and dancing their hearts out all night long. There is never a dull moment and never a rest between songs. The song selection, arrangements, and overall vibe are like the best concert you ever been to, but it’s your wedding. A special shout out to their arrangements of Pink Pony Club and I Don’t Want to Go Home, learned for our wedding, and an absolutely ripping Tenth Avenue Freeze Out that doubled as both our entrance song and a big club hit at the end of the night. All night, we kept hearing from our guests how incredible the band was, and we have to agree! We closed the night with DJ Ian playing dance music for the final hour, with some help from the stompers horn section toward the end. Really can’t think of a better set or show, loved every second. And now we can go catch them on Mondays at R Bar to keep the party going!

We had such an amazing experience working with Gray Mustache Studios! Ryan was professional, organized, and prepared for everything the day of our wedding. Even before the wedding day, Ryan reached out to our photographer to introduce himself, since they would be working closely together on the day of the wedding. Between getting ready in the hotel rooms, to the first look and bridal party pictures, Ryan worked seamlessly with our photographer to get all the shots he needed while also allowing the photographer the space he needed as well. He knew exactly where to be (and when) to capture so many amazing moments of one of the best days of our lives. Even during our reception, I would look around and see Ryan getting footage of our guests enjoying themselves on the dance floor and capturing candid moments and it was amazing to know that we will be able to relive our night over and over again! So quickly after our wedding, we already had a social media highlight reel which was the best way to keep the wedding bliss vibes flowing! When we received the final video, tears of happiness were shed while rewatching our perfect day and it was amazing getting to see some moments that we even missed ourselves from the day but Ryan captured for us forever!

When my husband and I were looking for wedding venues, we were very specify on what we wanted. We really wanted something outdoors for the ceremony and a beautiful reception hall that did not give off that "Ballroom" look. We hated chandeliers and let me tell you, it was difficult to find a venue in NJ without a chandelier. When we first toured Blue Heron Pines, we instantly fell in love. We immediately knew that this was the spot we wanted to get married in. It was exactly what we wanted but the only hesitation we had was that our family lived about an hour away from it. After going back an forth about it, we decided to book it and that was the best decision we have ever made. It turns out that the people that truly love you will make that trip for you because everyone on our guest list came to our wedding! All the employees at Blue Heron were extremely helpful and super nice. Sarah and Tara are amazing at keeping the bride calm throughout the whole process, from booking the venue, down to the day after the wedding. Our wedding day was perfect, thanks to Blue Heron Pines and their amazing staff. I HIGHLY recommend having your wedding at Blue Heron. They will definitely not disappoint!

Last month I got married at The Sanctuary on Roosevelt Island, and I had the pleasure of working with Jackie. She was an absolute joy to work with from start to finish- it felt like hanging out with an old friend! She is so incredible at making her clients feel comfortable, listened to, and pampered. She went completely above and beyond- when the bridal party was finishing photos outside and it started pouring, she got SOAKED while shielding my bridesmaids and making sure everyone was able to get safely from the park to the vehicles to inside the venue. She literally used herself as a shield and then proceeded to to help everyone get touch ups while they dried off- by the time the ceremony had started, no one would have had an idea that everyone had been rained on. By the end of the day, she was everyone’s best friend. She was an angel that day and I am so thankful she was my artist. If you’re looking for an incredibly talented artist who will charm you with her positive attitude and incredible sense of humor- Jackie is your gal.

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.

There are no words to express how perfectly smooth everything went! From the moment I started planning until I pulled out of the parking lot on my wedding night the staff was beyond what I could have asked for. Judy was an Angel; she helped with every little thing I needed and even gave me some ideas. The staff the day of was so attentive and kind. The food was AMAZING every single guest has talked about how awesome the food was. The setup there was spectacular and the sunset we got was just epic. Best day ever!!

Changing the game in the wedding industry, Enchanted Celebrations aims to successfully redefine the paradigm of personalization and compassion in each wedding. Whether we are capturing your love story behind a lens or mixing your perfect wedding day soundtrack, Enchanted Celebrations has the experts to create the wedding day vibes you’ve always dreamed of.

Where do I even start? This guy is a wizard. We didn’t even notice him filming half the time, yet he captured every single meaningful moment. I’m talking tears, laughter, goofy dance moves—everything. And when we got the video back? I had chills. It wasn’t just a wedding video, it was my most special day. The way the team edited it, the way it was pieced together, it was honestly unreal. Ben somehow captured the entire essence of our day in a way I didn’t even think was possible. If you want someone who doesn’t just point a camera at you, but actually creates something beautiful, Ben is the guy.

I am a published photographer who lives within minutes of the beautiful Jersey Shore. When I'm not behind the camera you can find me chasing my two kids around while chugging my fav drink ever - the Pink Drink from Starbucks (if you’ve never had one, you’re missing out!). I love having fun during sessions and always do my best to make you comfortable all while providing a one of a kind experience! I always tell my clients - It’s okay to feel awkward at the beginning of a session, that’s NORMAL. My job is to help you relax and enjoy the experience. I promise by the end of the day you won’t even remember there’s a camera there ;)

Rebecca is so easy to work with and always delivers the BEST images! Her photo shoots are never boring she is always coming up with such creative poses and prompts to make our time fun and memorable. She will also be the best hype women you've ever met making your feel super confident.

Our wedding at The Renaissance with Falco's Catering was amazing. Heather helped us with less than a years time to plan our day. She was quick to respond to any and all questions and was so flexible in meeting me to go over details. The owners, John and Steve, were also so friendly and willing to make our day special. The food is amazing, which was seen at the mock wedding tasting (this is great so you can see that they have quality food). They hold only one event at a time, making your day their focus. The main room has great acoustics and the staff are so attentive to all the details. Lisa was our maitre'd and she was truly to definition of professional. She made sure we had everything we wanted for the day and helped run each part smoothly. Thank you so much!

Alberto and I wanted to take the time to thank you for not only being the best photographer but also person. Jackie went above and beyond for me when anything went wrong including sewing in my dress (definitely not on the photographers list of responsibilities). Her vibe makes everyone comfortable yet she has the ability to keep you on track. Her art is stunning and her skills are unmatched. We cannot thank you enough :)

Hi I’m Kristina. I’m a wife, toddler mama, and a photographer. I’ve always had a love for photography but really took the plunge when my children came into this world. I took the time to learn the in and outs of photography while adding my own flair. I wanted nothing more then to document every second of their lives without missing a single moment. Before I knew it I started to grow a following of others wanting me to document their precious moments as well. Soon after my dreams became a reality. Capturing candid moments are my absolute favorite and you’ll always find me clicking away when you’d least expect it.

Hi Kristina, We just wanted to say a huge thank you for all your work on Saturday! We loved having you a part of our day and we had so many positive comments from people saying how great they thought you were! Thank you for making everyone feel so at ease and special. I have no doubt you got some amazing pics which we can’t wait to see. We loved the sneak peek!! Juan & Kelly Married June 25th 2022

The team at Atlantic City Country Club was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. Their communication was clear, efficient, and highly professional throughout the entire planning process. The value we received for our wedding was amazing compared to other local venues - the scenery was breathtaking with beautifully manicured grounds, the food and drinks were delicious, and the servers were friendly and attentive. Caroline and the team of coordinators made sure every detail was exactly as I wanted it, and they were even flexible when rain was impending, ensuring my husband and I were taken care of all night long. I cannot thank the AC Country Club team enough for making our special day perfect and unforgettable.

I never dreamed of being a wedding photographer. I thought it was all the same, you show up to a venue, photograph different couples in the same poses every weekend and after is all said and done never see them again. However one day while I was taking photographs of people I loved and cared about it clicked! I could photograph couples who I truly got along with, who just want to have a great time on their wedding day. Couples who want to be themselves. Couples who I could consider friends, not clients. I’ve built my business on this premise and enjoy it every single day.

Lily was recommended to me from my sister whose daughter was a flower girl in a wedding that Lily shot a few years ago. I perused her website and her instagram and was so impressed by her style of photography. Once we connected, though, I knew VERY quickly that Lily was exactly the type of person that I wanted to be leading the charge/in my corner on such an important day! I cannot express enough how incredible Lily was leading up to our wedding- between the engagement shoot to answering my many questions via email incredibly fast-Lily was always there for us. When it came time for our wedding day, I knew we were in the absolute best hands between her and her second photographer, Joe. Lily was early to my parent's house that day and I felt immediately relieved to see her! She led the charge between setting up the most creative backdrops for photos to making sure we were sticking to the schedule, and offering helpful advice throughout the whole day. Lily and Joe were in constant communication which was so helpful because he was with the groom and groomsmen at a different location prior to our first look. It made me so relieved to know Joe was doing the same thing for the guys! Both Lily and Joe helped us and our families with countless things throughout the day-from putting on the boutonnieres to bustling my dress once we got to the reception! They went above and beyond to make our day absolutely perfect. Lily is just an all-around awesome person to be around, who also happens to take the most incredible photographs. We just got our full gallery back and it is unbelievable how much she was able to capture throughout our day. I couldn't believe some of the specific shots they got because I had no recollection of Lily or Joe being remotely nearby! They both somehow moved throughout our ceremony and reception without ever being intrusive or too blatantly obvious. That must be such a hard balance to achieve as a wedding photographer, but Lily dominated at it. To sum it up, looking for a wedding photographer who is incredibly talented and who is equally as awesome? You found her!
