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.

“Gianna was an absolute dream to work with for engagement photos and civil wedding. From the moment we first connected, Gianna was incredibly professional but personable. My husband and I think we're the most awkward people out there and usually hate most photos of us, but Gianna warm persona made us feel so comfortable throughout the whole process and we LOVED how our photos turned out. The most special thing about Gianna is how passionate she is about her work and much she cares about her couples. The quality of her photography is simply STUNNING - the photos beautifully captured all the special moments and details of our day. She truly went above and beyond for us and made our Pinterest board come to life (and more!) She even stayed past sunset for our engagement shoot to make sure we got every bit of beautiful, stylized photo we could. We were thrilled with the quick turnaround, and the gorgeous, high-quality images. We loved her so much that we hired her again for our larger wedding! We can't wait :)”

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!”

“Our wedding on May 1, 2026 was truly the best day of our lives, and the entire Hudson House team exceeded every expectation we had. We had a bit of a rocky start during the initial booking process, but once Elena, the General Manager, stepped in and connected us with Gabriel, the Director, everything became seamless. From that point forward, we felt completely taken care of. The food tasting alone was an experience unlike anything we've ever seen. It was an incredible feast and gave us a firsthand look at how Hudson House executes events and the level of service they provide. The food was absolutely outstanding, and our guests are still talking about it weeks later. One of the things that made our wedding feel extra special was having the second-floor room available for cocktail hour instead of the overlook above the reception space. While both spaces are beautiful, having a completely separate floor created such an incredible guest experience. Many guests thought the cocktail hour space was the reception itself, only to be amazed when they discovered there was another floor for dinner and dancing, followed by the Stork Club for the after-party. Everyone loved the progression of the evening and how each part of the celebration had its own unique space. The cocktail hour was truly next level. We received countless compliments about the amount of food and the variety of stations. Guests repeatedly told us they had never seen so many options at a wedding. One detail that made a huge impact was having our signature his-and-hers drinks already waiting for guests as they entered cocktail hour. People loved being able to grab a drink immediately instead of standing in line at the bar, and it was one of the most complimented touches of the night. What impressed us most, though, was the service. Every single staff member was warm, friendly, attentive, and accommodating. If a guest needed something, it was handled immediately. The professionalism and hospitality were truly exceptional. A special thank you goes to Maya, my bridal attendant, who was absolutely incredible from start to finish. She was by my side all day, constantly making sure I had water, checking on me, helping me stay hydrated, and ensuring I had everything I needed. She even helped clean the dirt off the train of my dress after photos. Maya was calm, thoughtful, diligent, and genuinely cared about making my day perfect. Before we left, she made sure all of our belongings were packed and organized, and she carefully packed up the food and cake I requested to take home since I knew I probably wouldn't get a chance to eat much during the wedding. Thanks to her, we were able to enjoy so many of the amazing dishes once we got back to our hotel. Gabriel was equally incredible throughout the night. Anytime I noticed something that needed attention, no matter how small, he addressed it immediately. Knowing he was there overseeing everything allowed us to relax and fully enjoy our wedding day. Hudson House delivered beyond our wildest dreams. The venue is stunning, the food is phenomenal, the service is unmatched, and the entire team genuinely cares about creating an unforgettable experience. Everything ran so smoothly that we were able to be fully present and enjoy every moment. The only downside is that the day goes by way too fast. We honestly wish we could do it all over again. We cannot recommend Hudson House enough.”

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.

“I did my trials for hair and makeup a few weeks before my wedding. They texted me a few hours later to see how everything held up and what I wanted to change. On the day of my wedding the helped me deal with the awful news that my venue would not be staffed for my wedding. They helped me get my mind off of all that and focus on my friends and the hair/makeup. We made the changes I wanted and I genuinely have never felt so beautiful in my life. My bridesmaids looked incredible as well. Were all different ethnicities, skin tones and hair textures and all looked amazing. They were efficient in our timeline so much so that we finished nice and early which allowed me to take a breather with all the things going on with my venue. The make up and hair held through tears, sweat, outfit changes, and head banging on the dance floor. I can’t thank them enough for making my wedding day the best it could be!”

Casa Bianca Banquets has been family owned and operated in Oak Ridge since 1993. Sam, our owner, still runs the kitchen - not a catering contract, not a rotating chef. It's why guests are still talking about the food weeks later. We host one wedding at a time. Your ceremony, cocktail hour and reception all happen here, with no second party competing for the staff or the parking. The ballroom seats up to 250 under crystal chandeliers, with a grand staircase and tall windows that mean you spend less on decor and still get the photos you wanted. Packages are all-inclusive: cocktail hour, open bar, dinner service, wedding cake, linens, setup and cleanup. We cook Italian, Middle Eastern and Spanish, and handle vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and nut-free without fuss. Bridal suite, free parking, wheelchair access throughout. We cater off premise too, so your rehearsal dinner and brunch can come from the same kitchen. Come taste it before you decide - book a private tour.

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. It only took one wedding for me to realize that they needed a lot more help than what I did in the clubs. These days, I and my team help plan & entertain at all types of events (not just weddings), clients become friends (they don’t start there) and they benefit from our staff’s collective experience and the 10 years in the event industry Stem Productions has been active.

“Had an AMAZING experience with Stem Productions. Steve was very professional and made the whole process for choosing music and flow of the wedding seamless. He is well organized and always communicative. On the day of the wedding our DJ kept the vibes going that we always had people on the dance floor and our photo booth attendant was also great! Steve definitely helped our wedding day be low stress and flow nicely. Can't express enough nice things! Would highly reccomend.”

“POSH DJs was an absolute pleasure to work with from beginning to end. Their communication style was quick, professional, and enthusiastic, and the quality of their work was top-tier. DJ Urb had everyone on the dance floor and made it feel like a true party - we said we wanted everyone to enjoy themselves and he made sure to do so! Since the wedding, we've had multiple people ask for DJ Urb's information and compliment him as the best wedding DJ they've ever seen. He even got us to crowd surf! Brandon was great with communication and set up, and the POSH DJs team paid excellent attention to detail to ensure our special day was fun for all.”

“The venue itself is a hidden gem—not because it should stay a secret, but because more couples should know about it. The setting is breathtaking, with sweeping views of the reservoir, graceful weeping willows, and beautifully maintained grounds that make you feel like you’ve escaped the city, even though you’re only minutes from it. Inside, the industrial architecture is elegant, warm, and timeless. The space has so much character that we hardly needed additional décor because the venue itself is the décor. One of the biggest reasons we chose The View was its location. I wanted the beauty and tranquility of a park without sacrificing the energy and charm of an urban setting, and this venue delivered both perfectly. Our guests stayed in vibrant Downtown Jersey City, enjoyed everything the city has to offer, and took quick, inexpensive Ubers and Lyfts to the venue. It struck exactly the balance we were hoping for: a gorgeous natural setting with all the convenience of a city wedding. As a lifelong NYC girl, I also loved introducing our guests to Jersey City. They got to experience its beauty, character, and incredible food scene without ever needing to venture into Manhattan. Our guests loved moving between the indoor and outdoor spaces throughout the evening, and we received countless compliments on the venue. The food was phenomenal—beautifully presented, delicious, and genuinely some of the best wedding food many of our guests had ever had. If I could offer one suggestion, it would be to consider adding one more day-of staff member during key moments. Ivy was clearly managing an incredible amount behind the scenes, and having another team member available during transitions would make an already outstanding experience even more seamless. This isn’t a reflection on Ivy—quite the opposite. She was extraordinary, and the number of responsibilities she handled so gracefully speaks to just how valuable she is. The entire team made us feel like our wedding was just as important to them as it was to us. Their warmth, professionalism, and attention to detail created a celebration that exceeded every expectation, and we are so grateful. If you’re considering The View at Lincoln Park, don’t hesitate. It is one of the most beautiful, professionally run, and genuinely special wedding venues in the region. We would choose it again in a heartbeat.”

“Working with Miranda, Raquel, and Kylie was a true pleasure. Kylie assisted us at our rehearsal the day before our wedding, practicing the ceremony to ensure we understood the process and best practices for each bridal party member. Miranda and Raquel were there for us on our wedding date, helping set up decor, running to get breakfast for the bridal party, and being the point of contact with all our vendors. At one point, as the bride, I was getting overstimulated with all the pictures being taken in a short amount of time, and Miranda/Raquel had my back by making sure I had water and 30 minutes to center before our ceremony. I'd recommend Start Rose Creations to family and friends for any event.”
