Ephe went above and BEYOND at our wedding. I can't thank her enough! The second she was on site, my stress melted away. She handled all the last minute details and truly made the day so perfect. Every single shot is gorgeous. She is so talented and organized, and just the friend (and amazing photographer, of course) I needed on my big day!

  • Serves Groton, NY for additional fees

Based in Jersey City, I've been photographing weddings since 2010. I have two degrees in photography and wouldn't change a moment of what I do or how I got here. I spent 5 years producing celebrity photo shoots for magazines like Time Out and InStyle, so keeping cool under fast-paced pressure is kind of my thing. I'm always trying to push the envelope with what I do, whether that's finding a way to make better photos or optimize your experience with me.

Awarded Best of Zola
I honestly don’t have enough words to thank Lauren and her team for her beautiful photography. Booking her was by far the best investment we made for our wedding day—Lauren is worth the splurge no matter your budget. We wanted to curate a very specific vibe for our wedding, and Lauren understood it immediately. That’s because she has the innate ability to capture moments that no one else even sees. She is a people person through and through, and you can tell in the way her pictures come out. What could be a stagnant portrait, Lauren can turn into a stunning piece of art that evokes not just a specific vibe and mood but also emotion. Also as someone who has some insecurities about being photographed, I was blown away by how beautiful I looked in her photos. I’m incredibly grateful for her eye and dedication to making those beautiful photos. Not only that, but being around Lauren is a joy. She is so good at making sure everyone is comfortable enough to be photographed—and even includes a complimentary engagement shoot to get familiar with her before the big day (which is also so thoughtful and smart!). We had a few wedding challenges (a gigantic bridal party with 16! bridesmaids! and in-laws who were meeting for the first time at the wedding to start with!), and Lauren made sure she knew what she was walking into beforehand to make sure everything went as smoothly as possible on the day of. And it really really did. As a queer wedding with two brides, it was also really important to both of us to feel like superstars on our special day, and Lauren delivered that in spades. When we told her we wanted to have two aisles and walk down simultaneously, she was more than game for the challenge—she was excited. Finally, beyond her delightful personality, thoughtfulness, and extreme talent—Lauren is responsible for the success of our wedding. She sent us a list of recommended vendors, and we went with most of them. It was such a relief to have vendors pre-vetted by someone who had worked with them multiple times, and each one turned out to be just as good as she said they were. If you are looking for a photographer to capture your wedding, you will not be disappointed with Lauren!

Nicole made my partner and I immediately feel at ease and comfortable from the time we first met. She communicates consistently with ease and kindness. She was someone I could talk through things with for planning photos ops to make sure the small soecial moments were captured in an organic way. She and Tyler both were so funny and kind, making my husband and I both feel like we had friends that were there with us for some of the most intimate moments of our relationship. This is an important aspect that I didn’t realize until we were in the wedding! Nicole and tyler both have an incredible way to capture their vision effortlessly. They brought our day to life through photos- which was extra meaningful because we did not have a videographer. We were so appreciative when they took our disposable cameras and developed the photos, seamlessly integrating them into our online album. Nicole and tyler have a way of capturing the saturated, golden, sparkly feeling we felt all throughout the day in photo 3 it is so important to have a photographer that makes you feel comfortable and Nicole is just that & more

We fell in love with The Gaston the minute we walked through the front door. We knew immediately that would be the venue we went with. The house is so beautifully decorated and there's so much detail every section you look.

Adrienne was also very helpful along the way letting us know when it was time to start booking which vendors and making excellent recommendations.

Hello! My name's Matt, and I'm looking forward to exploring how I can help make your wedding day as special, beautiful, and memorable as it can be. From the experience of hundreds of performances I’ve had all over the world, I can promise you wonderful music on my part.

Awarded Best of Zola
Matt was absolutely spectacular from the moment that we reached out to him to the end of our cocktail hour. We wanted something different for our ceremony and our cocktail hour. My husband is a huge fan of Jurassic Park and he did a beautiful acoustic version of the theme song for the ceremony as well as an acoustic version of Stevie Ray Vaughan. His communication was prompt, and he sent multiple variations of samples of his songs months in advance. All of our guests enjoyed him and we’re singing his praises. We highly recommend.
