We loved working with Noelle and Daniela at LaElleKae. Even though we were planning a wedding reception in a short time frame (4 months), Noelle and Daniela were calm and cool the whole time while also making sure we got everything we wanted. Additionally, they were incredibly respectful of our budget and very easy to talk to. It's clear that they are experienced in working with all types of brides (and grooms) with all types of visions! Daniela especially went above and beyond for us, working diligently to get the perfect stage for our reception when everything seemed unavailable - she didn't give up.

Gianna has been sharing their many amazing pictures and videos.....love them all!! Your sharp eyes are amazing, coming from Mom, I have to say though, my daughter and her then fiance are very photogenic. But ALSO you captured the MOMENTS of the day, the EMOTIONS of the day, the EVENTS of the day and EVERYTHING in between to perfection. Many take pictures, it takes an eye like no other to bring together the pictures that I have seen from you all. I love every pic, some caught me differently than others and most of those were the ones that were truly "simple" or "out of the box" versus traditional, you got it all!! I hope you enjoyed the day as well. You are all amazing, work great together and we wish you continued expression of excellence and a lifetime of good health and joy. It is my hope that our paths will cross again someday!! Regards, Susan & Paul

Awarded Best of Zola
I cannot recommend Sophie enough for wedding make up. My wife and I used Sophie as our makeup artist for ourselves, our two moms, and my sister-in-law. Getting your make up done is an intimate process and sets the tone for the entire day and with Sophie there I felt beautiful and comfortable the whole time. We were not able to do a make up trial due to my schedule so she worked with me prior to my wedding day via zoom to make sure she knew exactly what I wanted. She sent me examples and helped me articulate my vision and even tried the looks on herself so that I could see them come to life. On the day of I felt so glam and powerful. My look lasted through performances and lots of dancing and my pictures from the end of the night are still STUNNING with no touch ups required (though she did provide us with the cutest touch up kits) My wife’s style and comfort with make up is much different than mine so she did a make up trial and Sophie helped her to find a look that was “wedding glam” but still felt authentic. Our looks were very different and incredibly “us” and showed off Sophie’s range and talent. Logistically, she is a complete professional with high end products that she organizes for ease of use and hygiene. Though my make up ran much longer than intended, she had anticipated that and so we still finished exactly on time. I never felt rushed or stressed - only like an absolute queen. It was the perfect way to start my wedding day and was worth every single penny.

Tiffany and her team at Hair by Tiffany were a true lifesaver for our wedding day. From the moment I called Tiffany for advice after my fiancée was unhappy with another stylist's work, she was prompt, quick, and a great listener. Tiffany insisted my fiancée come in, and within 2 hours she had fixed the style and given my fiancée the exact look she was going for. Tiffany's efficient, resourceful, and empathetic approach was invaluable, as I would have never heard the end of it if the hair wasn't perfect for our engagement photos the next day. We are so grateful to Tiffany and her team for their incredible attention to detail and commitment to making our special day flawless.

They came an hour early to make sure everything was setup, I even got an extra hour of photos taken while the videographer was putting together his gizmo. He recommended Drawlines Studio for video which they did a fabulous job putting the video together. There DJ was perfect, had a speaker system for the ceremony and for the venue.

Anthony Ziccardi Studios is a full time, fully insured wedding photography and videography company based in Sparta, New Jersey. This team of caring professionals delights in helping couples through every step of the wedding photography process, and have been doing so since 2001. The studio is dedicated to ensuring that couples have beautiful images and films that they can treasure long after their special day.

I would give a million stars if I could. We had the most incredible experience with Anthony Ziccardi Studios as our wedding photographer at Rock Island Lake Club on May 30, 2025. From start to finish, they were everything we could have hoped for and more! We knew we wanted this photographer before we even knew what venue we would book! From the first interaction in the office, they were professional, personable, and genuinely caring. By sheer fate, we had Anthony shoot our engagement photo shoot. He took the time to understand our vision, and more importantly our personalities. Before we even got home from the shoot, we had emailed and requested he be the photographer for our wedding day (although truthfully we would have been happy with anyone on his incredible staff). On the big day, he and Karina blended seamlessly into the celebration, capturing every laugh, every tear, and every beautiful detail with such an artistic eye. They are so knowledgeable about the work and the photos that would be bested, and we trusted them endlessly! Anthony and Karina made us feel so comfortable and confident, even in the most emotional and high-energy moments. They were never intrusive but always right there when it counted, capturing magic without us even realizing it. The photos? Absolutely breathtaking. Every image radiates emotion and tells the story of our day so perfectly. We couldn’t stop smiling (and tearing up) as we looked through them. They delivered not just pictures, but memories frozen in time...and as I write this I've only seen a handful. We cannot wait to receive the rest! We truly couldn’t imagine having had anyone else by our side for this once-in-a-lifetime moment. Anthony Ziccardi was more than just a vendor—he is now a friend and truly felt like family. If you're lucky enough to book them for your wedding, do it. It was hands down one of the best decisions we made for our special day. Thank you, thank you, thank you for being such a meaningful part of our celebration!

Where do I even begin to express the sheer delight of working with DJ on my wedding day? From the moment we first met, I knew I was in for something special. DJ's exceptional skills as a photographer not only met but exceeded all my expectations, making my wedding day an absolute dream come true! From the very start, DJ's warm and personable nature put everyone at ease. It was like having a girlfriend by our side, capturing every precious moment. As the day unfolded, her talent shined through, beautifully capturing the essence of our emotions and the magic of the occasion. The candid photos DJ captured are my absolute favorite! DJ's ability to handle even the most rambunctious of groomsmen was nothing short of amazing. She effortlessly navigated through the challenges of the day. Even with a group of boys who had indulged in a bit too much, DJ skillfully guided them into perfect poses, resulting in some of the most cherished and candid shots. Throughout the entire process, DJ displayed a level of patience and professionalism that left a lasting impression. She expertly orchestrated the wedding party, ensuring everyone was organized and ready for their moment in front of the camera. The way she managed to capture everyone’s personality while maintaining the cohesiveness of the group shots was truly commendable. There was not one person missed! DJ made sure I had a photo was each family member, which I am extremely grateful for. It felt as though DJ was more than just a photographer; she became an integral part of our wedding day, seamlessly blending in with our friends and family. The rapport she built with us was evident in the photographs! In the end, the pictures surpassed anything I could have imagined. DJ's talent and dedication to her craft have given us a treasure trove of memories that we will cherish for a lifetime. Her ability to create such a relaxed and enjoyable experience on our special day truly made all the difference. I can wholeheartedly say that DJ is not only an incredibly photographer but also a wonderful person, and I would recommend her to anyone seeking a photographer who can turn their wedding day into an absolute masterpiece!

We believe in prompting over posing. That gives our style the natural, emotional and authentic look we are going for.

Awarded Best of Zola
Orchard Street Photography was a preferred vendor on a list that our venue (The North Shore House) provided to us. After speaking with Julian for the first time, it was an instant match. My husband and I explained that we were looking for an authentic, unstaged, photojournalistic depiction of our wedding day. When we looked at the pictures, we wanted to be able to feel exactly how we felt that day. We got married last week and from the sneak peaks that we’ve seen Julian and Sarah captured that, despite inclement weather! We couldn’t imagine our wedding without either of them! We had two photographers for 8 hours, which was able to cover getting ready photos, the ceremony, family portraits, and the reception. Never having planned a wedding before, Julian was completely honest with us, shared his professional opinions, and advised based on our requests. His laid back demeanor, go-with-the-flow attitude and artistic vision complemented our day perfectly. We had three children in our wedding party and he was so great with them as well. From the two pictures they’ve shared on social media, they’ve captured exactly what we wanted. Can’t wait to see the rest! Book this Orchard Street, I promise you won’t regret it!

David’s Country Inn exceeded our expectations from beginning to end! After visiting multiple venues, the moment we stepped inside, we were captivated by its charm and knew it was the perfect choice for us. Opting for a Thursday wedding turned out to be a fantastic decision! On our special day, the staff was exceptional, the food was delicious and served promptly, and the cocktail hour was filled with all our selected dishes, while the bar staff efficiently managed the crowd. They also have a fantastic selection of preferred vendors! Our event coordinator, Kristian, along with Maitre'Ds Brenda and Brandon, were simply outstanding! Their communication, both via email and on the day itself, was seamless. Everything unfolded even better than I had envisioned! I did encounter a decor hiccup with the arch behind my sweetheart table, which my husband had crafted. On the wedding day, I was trying to adjust it when Brenda noticed my struggle. She immediately stepped in, reassured me, and took charge of the situation. Thanks to her, the arch turned out beautifully, just as I had hoped, and I was so relieved! I truly don’t know what I would have done without her help. Choosing DCI for our wedding was the best decision we could have made, and our day was absolutely flawless! We wholeheartedly recommend them!

Working with Tanvi was an amazing experience, I cannot recommend her enough for your henna needs! We had a multicultural fusion wedding, so I did not really know what to expect throughout the henna process but Tanvi made the whole process simple and easy, great communication, and delivered AMAZING work. Even on our honeymoon, people could not stop complimenting the beautiful designs.

Hi, I’m Andrea! a Latina wedding film photographer based in NJ/NYC. With 7 years in portrait photography and 2 years dedicated to weddings, I’m passionate about capturing love stories. Weddings inspire me as they are unique moments where communities unite in pure joy and love. Being part of the LGBTQI+ community, I ensure my space is safe and welcoming for all marriers. When not behind the camera, I love traveling back home, crocheting, taking care of my chosen family, and creating in my photo lab! Each moment I capture is a testament to my love for love.

Andrea is truly a dream to work with! Besides being super talented and having a knack for capturing the energy of the moment, she genuinely is a wonderful person! She makes you feel calm and reminds you to focus on the importance of being in the moment. As a person who does not enjoy photos of myself, she made me feel relaxed and happy on my wedding day. Her style is literally like out of Pinterest board and feels so genuine to the moment. She gives incite into the details of your wedding day and helps you make the best choices for capturing your day. My husband and I could not recommend her enough. We truly feel we gained a friend in this process and if and when we ever need photos again we will use her services without a second thought!

I am a photo-documentary wedding photographer, specializing in capturing all the authentic and unscripted moments of your wedding day. 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. I mean, c'mon: that's pretty awesome, right?

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!

Born on Valentine’s Day, I've always had an undeniable affinity for love & romance!

We love Daphne Ashley Events!! We opted for the full planning service and have worked with Shay for over a year, she really helped us throughout the wedding planning process that it made our lives so easy and much less stressful than if we did it on our own!! During the day it went on so smoothly since it was Daphne and Shay working as a team. It was such a magical and special day and we can’t thank them enough!

Bello Giorno Estate is a modern interpretation of a romantic Italian villa in Tuscany. The grounds were inspired by and seek to emulate the villas of Tuscany's countryside.

Bello Giorno Estate also offers a separate 'Grooms Room' and Bridal Cottage for the wedding couple. Both spaces serve as the perfect place for your groomsmen and bridesmaids to privately enjoy pre-ceremony drinks and appetizers. Our riverside rock walls complement the outdoors and provide a place to sit quietly with your loved one and enjoy a specialty cocktail as you watch the river flow and native fauna pass by.
