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.

Gianna is the most genuine and passionate photographer I’ve worked with! She is absolutely committed to delivering your vision from the moment you first speak to her. Gianna’s fantastic at making you feel comfortable in front of the camera, capturing real moments full of personality and emotion. I’ve had the pleasure of working with her multiple times and she always goes above and beyond. She’s the best couples photographer out there!

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!

Wow. This woman is not only a great photographer but an all-around great person. Just my upfront vibes from her made me feel so comfortable during our engagement shoot. She gave us a suggestion of a location and she really helped us out when it came to different poses that would work and different photo ops. I was so excited when I got the engagement photos back and when she arrived at my wedding venue the day of the wedding I knew that I could trust her to capture our wedding beautifully. I got some sneak peaks and I am in love. I cannot wait to get the rest of the photos. I would hands-down recommend her as a photographer to anyone! I found her on this app and it was one of the best decisions I’ve made for my wedding.

Awarded Best of Zola
As someone who suffers from eczema and sensitive skin, looking through make up artists was nerve racking. However, when I found Glam Beauty and saw the amazing jobs that they can do, I immediately contacted them. Communication was nothing short of fantastic, all of my concerns were answered. When it came to the wedding day, the Glam beauty team was remarkable. They worked so fast and were so much fun and conversational. They even allowed the bridal party to have that small break between photos and getting dressed because they were so efficient. The makeup stayed ALL DAY, and did not smudge one bit! Despite the happy tears. Our hair was in place perfectly and did not move! And none of us had one outbreak and our skin is still as smooth as can be! Cannot be more grateful for Glam Beauty!

We had a great experience working with Mitali. My wife and I love plants and so we wanted our wedding florals to reflect that. We reached out to Mitali and asked if she would be willing to put together a plant-forward design for our wedding. Mitali immediately got excited about the idea and started thinking of unique ways to integrate plants into the space. We were blown away by the outcome. The plants were so unique and special. We had people coming up to us all night telling us how great they looked. All the guests were also allowed to take the plants home at the end of the night which we thought was such a unique party favor and also great way to reduce waste. In addition to the center pieces, Mitali put together a stunning bridal bouquet and boutonniere that matched the colors of the wedding perfectly. Mitali was also very responsive throughout the whole wedding planning process and had some great recommendations and advice. We're so grateful to Mitali for bringing our vision to life and would highly recommend her as a wedding florist!

We're a husband/wife photography duo. We're college sweethearts and we're currently expecting our first child in June 2021! We are so happy to be in this business but we didn’t always know we’d become wedding photographers. Seth spent about 10 years in video production (aka the equipment expert) and Nicole is an advertising art director (aka the artsy perfectionist).

We truly could not have asked for a better wedding and engagement photographer!! We feel so incredibly lucky to have had Seth and his team capture our special day. From the moment Seth arrived at our venue his main priority was making sure we were in good spirits and having fun while capturing every moment, big and small. Seth was so kind, organized, professional, and down to earth. We cannot recommend Hyde Photography enough!

Absolutely Incredible Experience with Posh DJs! We live in Florida and got married in New Jersey, so I did all of the planning remotely. After reading glowing reviews, I reached out to Posh DJs—and from my very first meeting with Nicky, I knew he was going to be our DJ. That turned out to be one of the best decisions I made for our wedding! Nicky and the Posh team went above and beyond to make our day unforgettable. The energy, the music, the packed dance floor, and even the robot—everything was just amazing. Our guests are still talking about it and telling us it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to (some even said better than their own)! If I could give 10 stars, I would. Nicky, thank you for giving us the night we dreamed of. I’m still in awe. Worth every single penny. You made our wedding EPIC! Thank you, thank you, thank you! Friday the 13th Bride and Groom.

I was blown away by the talent of the musicians, they really take their craft seriously. I requested a Roaring Twenties theme from Louis Pettinelli and they went above and beyond to make it happen. The singer Karlea was phenomenal and did an amazing job of keeping our guests engaged and entertained. The musicians were all courteous, professional, and exceptionally talented. They dressed appropriately for our wedding theme and many of the guests at the Hawthorne Hotel wanted to take pictures with Karlea in her Twenties attire. In addition to being a wonderful experience, they were also a great value for the price. These are top quality musicians and we paid a reasonable price for the band. I highly recommend this group for your wedding.

We cannot say enough great things about Nicholas Yee and his incredible team! Literally from the very beginning, he demonstrated unparalleled professionalism - answering all of our emails super quickly, and taking the time to ensure every detail was covered. He worked with us to create a personalized timeline that made our day run SEAMLESSLY. Most of our vendors worked off his timeline. This allowed us to focus on the joy of the moment without worrying about logistics. He’s also just a great person overall - we felt like we were talking to an old friend. :) What truly sets Nicholas Yee apart is his eye for capturing not only the big, emotional moments but also the quiet, loving exchanges and the spontaneous moments of levity that made our wedding day uniquely ours. We were blown away by the pictures and the moments he captured. We can only really describe the pictures as breathtakingly “cinematic.” 10/10!!! On top of his artistry, his organizational skills were impeccable. He efficiently coordinated all of the family and wedding party photos with incredible time management, ensuring everything was done quickly and beautifully. He budgeted extra time in the timeline for delays which was most appreciated! This allowed us to maximize time with our guests and enjoy the celebration while still getting every shot we had hoped for—and then some!

It wasn’t just background music—it was a key part of the celebration, and everyone felt engaged. They played every song we requested perfectly and seamlessly filled in with other tracks that hit the mood exactly right. The vibe was always on point, and we had guests commenting that it was the best wedding music they had ever experienced. Beyond their talent, they were also so easy to work with. The whole process was super streamlined, from submitting song requests and details through their app to coordinating with the venue.

Awarded Best of Zola
Victoria is awesome! She is so sweet, professional, fun and responsive. She made me feel so comfortable during my trial and we played around with my hair and make up until it was perfect. The day of my wedding was even better - she came ready to go and I’ve never felt more beautiful. My wedding guests told me I looked like a model and even afterward when people saw pictures they immediately complimented my glam! I wanted to go for a natural but pretty look and Victoria killed it. I went with a classic low bun and it looked great and stayed together all night. Highly recommend! She was also super helpful with recommending make up as well.
