Giannav Photography - Documentary Wedding Photographer 
Rating: 5.0 (7 reviews)
Hawthorne, NJ
  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,850

On most days, you’ll find me at my desk editing galleries while catching up on the best of Bravo shows or any 2000’s rom-com movies with a cup of iced coffee. I’m a huge Buffalo Bills and New York Yankee’s fan, I love trying new brunch spots, and well…I love to talk. If I’m excited or anxious, I’m always rambling on about everything and anything I can.

From the moment we booked Giannav Photography, she was a pleasure to work with. Her communication was always fast and friendly, making the planning process easy and stress-free. On the day of our wedding, Gianna was amazing - she captured every moment beautifully and helped make the whole day fun and enjoyable. The final wedding album she delivered is truly stunning, showcasing her incredible talent as a photographer. Highly recommend Giannav Photography to any couple looking for an amazing wedding photographer!

Erika Coy Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (2 reviews)
Hawthorne, NJ
  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $1,600

It may sound corny but I LOVE love! Every love story deserves to be celebrated. I love and accept any client without discrimination. I proudly serve all gender identities, sexualities, races, cultures, religions, bodies, and abilities. Your love is welcome here! I am truly honored to capture your special day and celebrate with you the beginning of this new chapter in your lives. I love capturing my couples connection and the genuine connections with their family and friends. I love hearing about your story - from dating to proposal and everything in-between!

Erika was incredible!! From the moment I reached out, she was quick with her responses and made the contracting process as simple as possible, by providing questionnaires and detailed information to make sure that everything was aligned. The package that my partner and I chose, also included an engagement shoot, which gave us an opportunity to not only witness the way that she works, but to be able to experience her incredibly kind spirit. During the engagement shoot, my partner and I had felt the most comfortable in front of the camera because of Erika's encouragement and guidance throughout. This further solidified our decision to choose Erika as our wedding photographer. The pics from our engagement shoot were spectacular! The edits were nicely done and even though I'm generally critical of how I look in pictures, she made sure to bring out the best of me and my partner! Erika remained in constant contact with me leading up to the wedding, which gave me so much peace of mind. On the day of the wedding, Erika was prompt and brought such a calmness, that one could only want on their wedding day. She made sure to capture the pics from the shot list that I provided her and she was able to capture so much more! We just received a sneak peek from our wedding photos that she sent within a week and OMG the pics are stunning!! I actually teared up when looking at them because she perfectly captured the beauty and love from that day! My husband and I are overjoyed with the pics and can't wait for the final edits of the remaining pictures. I would recommend Erika to anyone for the simple fact that she knows what she's doing and it is evident!! I'm looking forward to other events that we will be able to utilize her services because she was just that amazing!

We had our New Year’s Eve wedding in the Liberty House ballroom, and it was truly everything we dreamed of and more. From start to finish, the experience was great. Our event stylist, Sarah, was amazing and played such a huge role in bringing our vision to life. I had a lot of ideas (some a bit outside the box!), and Liberty House worked with us to thoughtfully incorporate them into our wedding and our budget, including espresso martini shots on the dance floor, which was such a fun and memorable moment for our guests. The food was outstanding, especially cocktail hour. Guests are still talking about it. The pasta station was a crowd favorite, and we added the sushi station, which was an absolute hit as well. Everything was delicious and beautifully presented. The views alone are unbeatable. We had the most stunning Manhattan skyline backdrop at a much better price than venues actually in Manhattan or nearby. Another huge plus was being able to decorate the ceiling of the ballroom, which completely elevated the space. We used Liberty House’s preferred florist, JR Floral Designs, and absolutely loved working with them. Communication throughout the planning process was great. One thing to note is that Liberty House is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays, so depending on when you email, there may be a short wait for a response but once they’re back, they are responsive and helpful. The week of the wedding, we were able to drop off all of our décor and personal details, which made the wedding day itself so smooth and stress-free. While there isn’t a traditional getting-ready suite, there is a small room to store belongings, enjoy a private cocktail hour, and a private restroom. I personally got ready at a suite at the Hyatt House and took an Uber over, which worked out perfectly. Overall, Liberty House exceeded our expectations in every way. Between the views, the food, the flexibility, and the incredible team, we couldn’t imagine a better place to have celebrated our wedding — especially on NYE. Highly recommend!

Gabe and the entire crew at HH knocked it out of the park. The entire day went flawlessly, they worked seamlessly with our vendors, set up the rooms better than I could have ever imagined. Not to mention the space itself/location is GORGEOUS….but funny enough, we booked the space for the insane views of NYC, but happened to get the foggiest day of December - it. Did. Not. Matter. !!!

Jason Rhee Photography is a wedding photography company based in Northvale, New Jersey. Jason’s 20 years of experience combined with his attentiveness toward his clients results in photos that reflect the true essence of each couple. He believes that encouraging a lighthearted atmosphere during your photoshoot is the best way to capture all of those natural and romantic moments. This photographer covers the New Jersey and New York tri-state areas.

Awarded Best of Zola
If you're looking for the photographer to capture all the love and joy you feel with your special person, I'm here to tell you, this is it. You found him. Does the idea of spending thousands of dollars for wedding photos scare you, because you can't see the photos right away, no refunds, no exchanges, no returns, and no do-overs, you are not alone. Do the scary thing. Invest your money on a photographer, but make sure you book Jason Rhee. I had a visual aesthetic in mind, but I also wasnt sure how to describe it. As a hobby photographer who mostly takes pictures of her dogs, or snaps pretty scenery and yummy food on vacation, I didnt know how to find to find somebody to capture our special day with the same romantic, yet slightly silly POV. I follow David Suh on IG, because he makes it look fun and easy to get photos you can proudly display, but we couldnt afford to fly him out for our wedding. We wanted somebody who gave similar energy. Instead, I spent hours on Google, Zola, Wedding Wire, the Knot, Reddit, Instagram, and reached out to Facebook groups like Subtle Asian Weddings and Ologies for inspiration. After weeks of pouring through lists of local photographers, reading price packages, scouring albums/portfolios/pages trying to find examples to describe the aesthetic I was looking for, and looking for photographers who evoke the same emotion, I found Jason Rhee. We set up a meeting, he passed the vibe check with flying colors. We had 6 months to plan our reception. We were on a budget. We needed somebody familiar with photographing not one, but three dogs at a wedding. We had an intimate (under 40ppl) wedding, with a LOT of camera-shy introverts (ourselves included!), and we wanted to get amazing pictures but have no experience posing in front of the camera. Where do we put our hands? What is our best angle? Is there enough light at the venue? Should I be serious, serene, or laughing? Don't worry, book Jason Rhee. Jason made the process of working together very easy and it felt like a true collaboration. He helped us plan within our budget. He was as invested as we were in creating our timeline, ensuring we had time for the photos we wanted, and understanding our wedding photography priorities. He provided prompts!!! He also coordinated with our videographer. Everything was clearly outlined in the contract. Our teaser album was done about two weeks after the reception (rest of the album should be done in another two weeks, which is amazing turnaround time considering the hundreds if not thousands of photos taken that day) I’ve always been self-conscious in front of a camera, but Jason was the best at boosting my confidence and posing us in a way that felt natural and look beautiful. We had many laughs along the way. Sadly, one of pups passed shortly before the big day, so we had to make it through one of the saddest months, alongside the chaos of planning our big day. Jason navigated it all with grace and went the extra mile to make sure we got all the photos we were hoping for. We got so many compliments (both during and after the wedding) from friends and family.

We absolutely loved our wedding venue! Our guests couldn't stop complimenting the space, and everything about the venue itself was perfect for our big day. The staff was generally great, and the venue itself exceeded our expectations. However, there were a couple of things that caught us off guard. First, when we went to drop off our decorations the day before the wedding, we were surprised to find large, dramatic Christmas decorations still in the foyer—something we were never informed would be there. Thankfully, the team worked with us to remove them, and by the morning of the wedding, everything was taken care of, which we really appreciated. Second, we were disappointed to find that the venue ran out of rum for our signature drink. We had clearly communicated that rum was a major ingredient, yet they only had two bottles for the entire night, which was nowhere near enough. It seemed like they completely forgot that rum was a key part of our signature cocktail, and it was frustrating to see our guests unable to enjoy it as planned. Lastly, after the wedding, we heard some concerning stories about the way the venue manager and team interacted with our vendors, particularly our wedding planner. Apparently, voices were raised, and things got very heated, with fingers being pointed at faces. It was heartbreaking to hear this, especially because it was completely at odds with the otherwise wonderful experience we had. It felt very unprofessional and left a bad taste in my mouth. Overall, the venue itself was stunning, and the event went off beautifully, but these issues were frustrating and disappointing, especially when considering how much we loved everything else. If you decide to book here, just make sure to keep a close eye on the details and be aware of how the team handles interactions with vendors.

If you are contemplating between Jen & Steve and anyone else- PICK THESE TWO! We could not be happier with our experience and our photos. From the start, Jen and Steve were an absolute dream to work with. They listened to our vision and brought it to life effortlessly. They have a way of balancing timeless, elegant vibes with authentic, candid moments. We didn't want anything to feel staged or forced, but we still wanted some classic wedding photos, and they nailed the balance perfectly. They also made us feel super comfortable. They were easy to talk to, didn't make us feel awkward doing poses, and genuinely made us laugh through the whole process. Posing for photos can be tedious, but this wasn't! They are also such sweet people. If this didn't convince you to go with them yet, then the photos speak for themselves. Their photography skills are unbelievable and they took such beautiful photos of us on our wedding day. We literally look at them at least once a day since we have gotten our preview gallery because they are so stunning. They created our first heirloom to share with our families and we couldn't be happier with how the photos came out and the experience they gave us.

When my friends started to get married, the requests to DJ their weddings began pouring in. It made sense, they wanted to party, and I had helped them do it weekend after weekend all over NYC.

Steve and his team were amazing! Steve is incredibly organized, responsive, and made the entire planning process so easy and stress-free. The platform he uses is super intuitive and well-organized. Honestly, the hardest part was just choosing our songs! Thanks to his system, even that felt effortless. On the wedding day, our DJ was fantastic. He played every song we requested and kept the dance floor alive all night. The photobooth was a huge hit with our guests; I don’t think it was empty for a single moment! The attendant was friendly and helpful, making sure everyone had a great time. We couldn’t be happier with the experience and highly recommend Steve and his team!

From the moment we met Miranda at Star Rose Creations, we felt confident we had found the right team for our wedding. We interviewed many day-of coordinators, but we chose her because of her energy - she was so warm and trustworthy from our very first call. Our wedding at St. Patrick's Cathedral in NYC was large and complex, but Miranda and her team handled every detail with such grace and coordination that we barely had to think about logistics. When I lost track of my phone at 11am on the morning of the wedding, they took care of every detail and contact without me having to lift a finger. Star Rose Creations went above and beyond in every way: detail-oriented, reliable, and so kind to everyone in our wedding party. We felt so supported throughout the entire process, and we couldn't have asked for better partners to help us celebrate.

4kweddings/Jonathan was such a pleasure to work with and my husband and I could not be happier with our video content from our wedding day!!! From our first call with Jonathan, he was very professional, kind, and responsive. Every moment that we wanted to relive was caught on camera and we are so grateful to have to watch forever! Jonathan was also beyond efficient- we received all of our video footage less than 2 months after our wedding! All of the video content that we got back honestly exceeded our expectations- everything was edited so timelessly and beautifully. For anyone contemplating hiring a videographer, I would suggest looking no further! Thank you so so much Jonathan & 4kweddings!!

Nicholas Yee and team were absolutely incredible photographers and my wife and I could not be happier that we went with Nicholas Yee Photography. The included engagement session came out fantastic and the wedding photos were perfect. The detailed itinerary for the day was a great help since it is a chaotic day but Nicholas and the team helped streamline the whole thing and made it a day we will never forget. Cannot recommend highly enough.
