Sincerely Dj Photography

  • Serves Hawthorne, NJ

Hi there! I’m Djaniella (or dj for short). I love storytelling, adventures, and creating connections with people. I’m attracted to a meaningful image, and being able to relive that moment in my mind. A coffee shop and an ice cream parlor is always on my list whenever I visit a new town. I love the sound of waves crashing along the shore, I love people-watching, I love basketball, I love spending time with my family, and I love good food. Thanks for visiting! Let’s work with each other :)

Awarded Best of Zola
Djaniella was AMAZING!! We booked her for our wedding which was 8/23/25. The package we chose included an engagement shoot, which was wonderful because we got to meet her ahead of time and make sure that we meshed well together, which of course we did because she’s just so wonderful, and those pictures blew us away already. She is so talented and so sweet. My husband and I had warned her we aren’t center of attention or photogenic people but she made sure to capture every moment and she did it so subtly that we didn’t feel like we were being swarmed by a paparazzi. She got along with our coordinator beautifully, and I actually think she enjoyed our wedding which was such an amazing feeling for us that even our vendors had a good time, even though they were working. I will be hiring her again and again and again, for all of life’s photo worthy moments. She also sent us a few photos the day after the wedding just to ensure we had something tangible before she got to edit the rest and they are beautiful. Thank you Djaniella, from the bottom of our hearts for giving us memories that will last a lifetime.

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.

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!

Hyde Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (40 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $5,000
  • Serves Hawthorne, NJ

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 hired Hyde Photography for our 11/15 wedding, and we couldn’t have been happier with the experience. Both Seth and his second shooter, Drea, were absolutely incredible from start to finish. They had such a calm, grounding presence throughout the day while still keeping everything moving on schedule. They were flexible, attentive, and made sure we captured the handful of concept shots that were really important to us. On top of that, they were just a genuinely great vibe to be around, which made the whole experience feel effortless. We received our preview photos about a week after the wedding and they were so perfect — beautifully composed, natural, and truly reflective of the day. We’re already confident the full gallery will be just as stunning. Highly, highly recommend!

Based in the Northern New Jersey area and embracing the East Coast and beyond, The Fox & The Hare want to document your love story! Each of us have backgrounds in fine art photography and have been photographing weddings together for over a decade. And whether we’re there for the happy moments or the emotional moments, we want to document it all.

Awarded Best of Zola
We cannot say enough good things about our experience with Jen & Steve at The Fox & The Hare! They shot our Christmas wedding and captured the vibe, energy, and emotion in every photo! Not only are they highly skilled and professional, they are also kind and just great people to be around on the most important day of your life. We felt so relieved to be able to fully trust them with what was one of the most important parts of our wedding to us (photos). Since they are a husband/wife duo, it was super helpful when they were able to quickly show us posing references by demonstrating with each other. We are obsessed with our images. The coloring, the authentic moments they captured, and use of lighting…all just perfection. Look no further if you’re in need of a highly experienced, talented, and genuine photography team! We also booked a content creator through Fox and Hare and were so happy with our experience (thank you Louie!). It was really nice having a photo/video team who work together often! It just made everything run so smoothly!

I'm Angelica, the owner of Dawnpoint Studios! I'm an adventurous and internationally requested wedding/elopement photographer with a focus on sustainability! Here's an unexpected fact - I hated weddings when I first started second shooting them. It broke my heart to see couples being rushed, overwhelmed, and not truly having any connection to couples. That's what drove my passion to breath a fresh air into the wedding experience! Plan with intention, focus on being present, and building genuine relationships with couples! You should be heard, appreciated, and understood. You should feel encouraged to get married your way.

Awarded Best of Zola
Angelica was quick and easy to communicate with. She captured all of the emotion of the day with a lot of real and candid shots. She was SO fast with getting all the photos back to us. It felt like there was just another friend there.

Florencia Saav Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (21 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style

  • Serves Hawthorne, NJ

Hello! I'm Florencia, a wedding photographer based in NY/NJ and I'm looking forward to meeting you! I'm fluent in English and Spanish and I found myself working with multicultural couples a lot. That's one of the many amazing parts of my work. I've been capturing love stories for more than seven years and I LOVE to do this for a living.

Awarded Best of Zola
We absolutely loved our experience with Flo as our photographer and hiring her was the best decision that we made about our wedding day. We interviewed a few photographers but had an instant connection with Flo who seemed so enthusiastic and genuinely excited for our love story and wedding. She had such positive energy and we knew we wanted that kind of energy surrounding us on our wedding day. She was also willing to customize a package for us to work with our budget and our needs for the wedding day which was so reassuring - and she is worth every penny of what she charges. We had an awesome engagement session with her before the big day, and even when I broke a nail on the way there, she was so great at keeping me from stressing out. We were able to relax and laugh a lot and be ourselves on camera, and the photos were stunning. We also appreciated how Flo kept in touch with us on Instagram leading up to the wedding and afterwards - it must be so much work to keep up with all of her clients but it really felt so nice that she was following us on our wedding journey. She was so supportive, liking our stories and posts and letting us know she was consistently invested in our story. When the wedding day came it was like we were meeting up with an old friend even though we'd only met in person once for the engagement session. Flo also worked with us to figure out the "wedding timeline" that every vendor seemed to want even though we were a little clueless about it to start. She came up with a plan for the most efficient use of our time to make the day go the smoothest and it really worked out perfectly. She kept us on schedule and used the questionnaire we had filled out to make sure she got all of the shots we requested. All of our wedding party and family told us how great she was and how much they liked working with her. She and her second photographer and assistant were ON IT and captured so many moments throughout the day, they didn't miss a thing! We were able to put complete trust in her and just enjoy the wedding. As for the photos themselves, her style is so beautiful and striking and exactly what we were looking for - we love how saturated her colors are and it worked perfectly for our jewel tone fall wedding. She has a passion for sunset lighting as well and the pictures from our engagement and wedding day at sunset came out so beautifully. For both engagement and our wedding, we had a bunch of sneak peek photos within a day or two which was great to tide us over while we waited for the final products. Communication and payment and the photo gallery platform were all super straightforward. We cannot recommend Flo enough for the genuinely positive energy she will bring to your planning process and wedding day and for the gorgeous photos she will capture on your special day.

For over a decade, I’ve photographed weddings with a focus on timeless imagery, genuine emotion, and refined storytelling. I’m drawn to couples who value authentic moments alongside beautifully crafted portraits. From getting ready details through to your final send off, I work intuitively and unobtrusively so you can stay present while I preserve the joy, elegance, and energy of your day.

Awarded Best of Zola
Working with Bryan was a joy. He is communicative, kind, relaxed, and so skilled in his art. He took the time to get to know us as a couple first and then as clients, which I'm sure helped his understanding of what we wanted and needed to capture. He knew the prompts to suggest to create gorgeous photos and was willing to work with is with the many things we wanted to try during portraits and the reception (including dealing with rain and a huge group photo where he graciously accepted standing on a chair to get the shot). He was thorough and got every shot that we asked for and used his talent and skill to give us many more that have become our favorites. The photos were given to us extremely fast and at a beautiful quality – everyone we've shown them to adores them. He was accommodating on the day and the result is nothing short of stunning – it helps us relive the day in clarity, which is priceless.

There is nothing I love more than photographing weddings - a day full of raw emotion and I get to document and make art of out it! I'm a newlywed so I totally get what you're going through! We recently adulted hard and bought a house - next up is a dog! Please tag me in all funny dog videos :) I love occasionally working out, always eating cookies, and watching nonstop romantic comedies - especially while I edit (let's not talk about how many times I've seen Dirty Dancing). Can't wait to meet you!

Absolutely THE BEST! It has been a month after our wedding and looking through our hundreds of wedding pictures just takes us back to that magical day. Michelle does an amazing job as your photographer the day-of but also helps guide you every step of the way during the pre-planning stages. Here's a few reasons why you HAVE to pick Michelle if you connect with her style: *She will make you feel comfortable in front of the lens. We were very unsure as to what to do during our engagement shoot and we definitely did not want our pictures to come out as very posed, stiff or fake. Michelle took care of this in an instant, we got to talk, laugh, tell dad jokes throughout the shoot and our pictures came out like US which is what we truly wanted. The same goes for the day of the wedding, with a 12 person bridal party and multiple family configurations, Michelle was able to make everyone comfortable and naturally pose for our pictures. Not to mention, she was able to organize everyone for the church exit with the rice throw in a matter of minutes! *She will listen to what you want and provide her honest feedback with her years of experience. We were very set of having an engagement shoot in Jersey City not only was it crazy to get there, we got washed out with a huge storm (none the less she got great shots in a matter of 10 minutes!). She suggested we did another try but something more local like where we lived in Morristown. Not only were we more comfortable because we knew where to go, the pictures came out again looking more genuine in our hometown. *She is incredibly professional, takes her job seriously AND has an awesome personality. We got our pictures both for the engagement and wedding within a matter of weeks with some sneak previews the very next day! No watermarks and the possibility of downloading all of them instantly. She does her job with a smile on her face that is just contagious!

With over 10 years of experience, I've proudly photographed hundreds (and hundreds) of weddings in NJ, NYC and destinations worldwide. Though my photography work has been published in magazines, and I've garnered my fair share of awards over the years, my proudest achievement till this day was when my youngest son finally learned how to ride a two-wheeler.

Cannot recommend Ben enough! We did our engagement pictures with Ben ahead of our wedding and they were 1000/10. He is a master at finding the perfect lighting and did the perfect mix of the more modern photos we love and the more traditional ones our parents/grandparents love. My husband and I are both terrible at posing but Ben kept us comfortable and laughing our entire wedding day and made our photos look so natural! He is hilarious and brought such positive energy the entire day - everyone in our bridal party couldn’t say enough wonderful things about Ben! Ben even gave us a few preview physical prints during our reception which was such a beautiful touch! Can’t recommend Ben enough!

Adam was honestly the reason our wedding was as memorable and amazing as it was. He’s reliable, dedicated, and easy to work with. He managed to wrangle a massive Italian family and give us the whimsical, elegant photos we dreamed of!

Hi, I'm Andrea! A Latina wedding photographer based in NJ/NYC, shooting both film and digital. I've spent 10 years behind a camera and 4 of those dedicated to weddings, and I still get butterflies every time. I'm part of the LGBTQI+ community and my space is safe and welcoming for all marriers, always. When I'm not making photographs, I'm crocheting, developing film in my home lab, traveling back home, or taking care of my chosen family. '•.¸♡ ♡¸.•'

Andrea made sure to capture every moment on our special day! Including the digital photos, she even gave us special film captured photos! We requested video of the ceremony and consulted with us before hand to create a video to remember.

Through my documentary approach to photography, I capture authentic visual stories. Since 2014, I've travelled the world documenting not just weddings but diverse cultural events and meaningful moments across continents. I blend into the background while remaining attentive to every genuine emotion and unexpected detail. Whether an intimate ceremony in a historic venue or a celebration against a stunning international backdrop, I craft visual legacies with creativity and heart for clients who embrace what makes them distinctive.

Ben Kelmer Studio was the perfect choice for our wedding photography. From the very first meeting, Ben and his team were open, honest, and warm in their communication, putting us at ease and helping us feel confident in their abilities. Their work is truly professional, showcasing a generous and creative approach that captured all the special moments of our day - even the small details that other photographers might have missed. Ben's keen eye and humanity shone through, both in his interactions with us and in the beautiful, timeless photos he delivered. We were so impressed and cannot recommend Ben Kelmer Studio highly enough!

My name is Christopher Kayfield. I’m a professional photographer working in the NYC and Philadelphia areas. I focus on personality, humor, and sincerity. A visual storybook, capturing moments that you're there, and the moments you miss!

Awarded Best of Zola
Words can't even begin to describe how wonderful Chris is! He was a referral from another friend, and he did not disappoint. From the beginning he was easy to work with, flexible, and had a creative mind. He not only makes the most of the environment he's given, but truly embraces it, which leads to the most stunning photos (and experience!). I'm fairly certain we had all 4 seasons, and every type of weather one could think of in a weekend, and you would have NO idea based off the outcome of the photos. Chris is truly a gem, and I couldn't recommend someone more to do your photos. If you want someone who will work with you, listen to you/also give opinions, party with you, take advantage of any situation, and take the most stunning photos, then Chris is definitely your photographer!

Welcome to Hidden Gem Visuals! We are are an Award Winning Photography Company and provide services to NJ, NY, PA, and CT. The owner, Geoff (Jeff), will personally be the photographer at your wedding to ensure everything goes smoothly!

I have nothing but good things to say about Geoff and his colleague, Alan. Geoff from the very beginning was so responsive and accommodating. As someone planning a week worth of wedding events on their own, it was a daunting task. Geoff only served to alleviate some of that stress. Geoff captured photos for our engagment, my mehndi and haldi, as well as our Vivah Sanskar, and Christian ceremony and reception during fourth of July 2025 weekend. Each shot is so beautiful and I believe captures our love and our families so well. This will definitely not be the last time we choose to work with Geoff.
