I’m Madalina, a wedding photographer based in Miami and the Jersey Shore, but I’ll happily follow love wherever it takes me. I’ve always been drawn to the quiet, meaningful moments: the way your partner looks at you when you’re not looking, the hug from your mom that lasts a little longer, the feeling of joy that hangs in the air. My approach is calm, intentional, and heartfelt. I want your photos to feel like you: beautiful, honest, and full of soul.

“From my first conversation with Madalina Photographer, I knew I had found the right fit for our engagement photos. She responded quickly to all of my questions and kept everything straightforward and upbeat throughout the planning process. When weather threatened to derail our surprise proposal, Madalina didn't hesitate to shift the timing and even offered smart suggestions on when the light would look best. During our shoot, she made us feel at ease with her guidance on poses and encouraged us to be ourselves, capturing both posed shots and genuine candid moments that we'll treasure. Her turnaround time for the edited photos was impressively fast, and the quality of every image exceeded what we were hoping for. I would highly recommend Madalina for anyone looking for engagement photography.”

We’re Mark and Brittany Edman, the husband-and-wife team behind This Insane Idea Photography. Brittany was the one who encouraged Mark to take his lifelong love of photography full time. It sounded like an insane idea at the time, but documenting weddings quickly became the work we love most. Mark photographs the day as it unfolds: the big emotions, the quiet moments, and everything in between. Brittany brings 20 years of hospitality experience to helping couples feel cared for and keeping the day flowing. Together, we get to know you and the people you love so you can feel comfortable, stay present, and enjoy your wedding. Our approach is simple: nothing added, nothing taken away. Your story, captured as it felt.

“Mark and Brittany are truly exceptional at what they do. My husband and I are not typically in front of a camera, but Mark made us instantly comfortable in a way that allowed him to truly capture the moment between us instead of feeling like models posing for a job. We had a small wedding with no formal wedding planner or runner for the day, but Brittany and Mark helped everything to go smoothly, and we truly couldn’t have done it without them. Beyond all that, the images are truly breathtaking. Mark has an intrinsic ability to scan a space and find the most beautiful piece of it. I have never seen the inside of a train station look so magical! If you choose This Insane Idea for your special day, you will not be disappointed!”

Hi! I’m Shauna — but you can call me Shay. I’m the photographer behind Milestone. What started as a side business in 2015 became my full-time dream in 2022, and I thank God daily that I get to serve amazing couples through my work. I met my husband at 15 and we’ve been together ever since, so love stories have always meant a lot to me. As a wife and mom of two adventurous boys, I know how meaningful life’s biggest milestones are. My goal is to give every couple a relaxed, fun experience and a gallery of memories you’ll treasure for a lifetime.

“Shauna was recommended to me through my videographer. He worked with her in the past and felt she would be a good fit for my big day. He was absolutely right. Shauna is not only an exceptional photographer, she's an exceptional human. My husband and I loved working with her. When I first talked with her, I instantly felt comfortable and at ease. She answered every question I had and was able to give advice on not only the photography side, but weddings as a whole. I really felt like I had someone completely on my side throughout the whole experience. My package included engagement photos and she helped me pick the best location that would work for us as a couple. When we finally met her in person, we felt comfortable. She made us laugh and made sure the experience didn't feel awkward. We were able to feel the love while getting amazing photos taken. Once we got our engagement photos back, we knew our wedding photos would be topnotch and we were so excited for the day we got those. Shauna is always responsive and willing to chat whenever a question comes up. We video chatted multiple times before the big day to make sure everything could run as smoothly as possible. I can't thank her enough because I was all nerves until I got to see my husband during our first look. I knew I was in good hands though because of Shauna. She and Amy handled the day so perfectly. We got our wedding photos back and I can't begin to describe how much I love them. If you're looking for a photograph who really cares and will make the whole experience more easy, Shauna is your girl!”

At the heart of every wedding is the same beautiful truth: two people choosing each other. We believe deeply that love is love, and every couple deserves to feel seen, celebrated, and safe on one of the most meaningful days of their lives. Our work is rooted in respect, compassion, and equality—because love does not look one way, and it does not belong to only some. We are honored to document love stories in all their forms and to create space where every couple feels welcomed, supported, and genuinely celebrated.

“To say I love my photographer would be an understatement. Our special day was thrown together in 6 weeks, but you couldn’t tell by looking at our pictures. Lauren took the time to speak with me about the moments that were most important to me, and why. After explaining to her that my father had cancer and his diagnosis was a big part of our rush, she made it her mission to capture every smile every tear every dance and every look my husband and I shared, and my father shared with everyone in attendance, especially me. She set up the first look between my husband son and I, she understood my vision and my need to be different, her artistic eye and attention to detail turned a broken down roadside stand into the perfect fall/Halloween backdrop for our first look. When it came time for my father to see me, before our guest, she set him up, back turned and captured every smile, and every tear he and shared in that moment. She created memories for myself, my husband and our family, and froze them in time with pictures that I will always treasure, and I couldn’t be happier and anymore grateful for how much love and dedication she poured into making sure our special day and every moment of it was captured”

Being able to look back, remember the great laughs, and reminisce a particular night is what we all look forward to. Our goal is to help everyone remember one of the best nights by telling your story through our eyes. There is no better compliment than for you to show your loved ones what happened through one of the best days of your lives.

“We cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience during our engagement shoot! From the moment we arrived, the energy was infectious — we were laughing, moving, and genuinely having the time of our lives. It never once felt like a photoshoot; it felt like spending the afternoon with a friend who just happened to have a camera. What truly set our photographer apart was the perfect balance of fun and professionalism. They kept the session lighthearted and exciting while never losing their sharp eye for the details that make a photo extraordinary — the way the light hit just right, thoughtful staging of every scene, and gentle, natural posing direction that made us both feel completely at ease in front of the camera. No stiff, awkward poses here — every shot felt candid and authentic. Their patience was also something we deeply appreciated. They never rushed us, always made sure we were comfortable, and took the time to get each shot exactly right. You can feel that care and intentionality in every single image. And the final photos? Absolutely stunning. The quality speaks for itself — crisp, vibrant, and full of genuine emotion. We are so in love with every single one and will treasure them forever. If you are on the fence, consider this your sign to book them immediately. You will not regret it for a single second. We are already counting down the days until our wedding so we can work with them again!”

My love for photography was born when I picked up a camera and started shooting street photography as a hobby. This hobby quickly took over my entire life! Thankfully, combined with my editing and retouching skills, I was able to turn my passion into a career. Owning and running Wild Hearts has been the one of my greatest joys! I love truly love capturing your real life moments and emotions. Yes I am organized as hell and type A, but balance that with heavy doses of standing back and just capturing the moment as it’s happening. I feel a real connection with all the wild hearts out there, and would love it if you let me capture yours!

Awarded Best of Zola
“My wife and I booked Wild Hearts for our 2025 wedding. This was the single best decision we made for our wedding (aside from choosing to get married). Kamelia is a fabulous photographer, a fastidious planner, and an encouraging partner for your wedding day. Kamelia is equally comfortable keeping order during wedding chaos and being a bastion of support who will tirelessly and patiently listen to all of your wedding woes. I cannot say enough good things about Kamelia. She made my wife feel supported and sane throughout the wedding process by offering sage, leveled advice and being a constant source of understanding and reassurance. She made me, who is not often comfortable in front of the camera, feel at home in our shoots. Never once when working with Kamelia did photos feel tedious, unwelcome, or unenjoyable; rather, every moment with her was fun, easy, and smooth. As a photographer, Kamelia has a unique skill to capture the beauty of small moments, to represent love and affection and happiness in timeless images. Life becomes art through Kamelia’s camera lens. Truly, her talent is unmatched. But her peerless skill as a photographer is only part of the reason you should hire her. With Kamelia, you get more than a photographer; you get a wedding planner, a sympathetic soul, a wedding day drill sergeant who keeps everything and everyone on track, a genuine advocate for her couples, and a friend. I promise, give Wild Hearts your business. You will be making one of the best decisions you could make for your event or moment. Thank you to Kamelia and Chris for making our wedding day such a serene, easy event and for capturing our love in such a beautiful, elegant fashion. You have given us memories we will cherish forever. We are eternally grateful.”

We went over the run down of who is in what photo groups and she very smoothly helped when there was a last minute change up!! It felt like we had known each other forever! Would 100% book again, hopefully she decides to add maternity shoots in the next couple years!”

A creative team of storytellers capturing joyful love stories and effortless real-life moments. Magdalena Studios captures and preserves authentic stories and moments in an effortless, joyful manner. We believe that every subject deserves an individualized experience and to remember, see, and feel how beautiful they are at that moment in time.

“We absolutely loved Magdalena Studios and could not be happier with our experience! From the very beginning, their packages stood out to us because they offered everything we were looking for, and the photos we saw from their work were absolutely stunning. One of the best parts of our package was the complimentary engagement shoot with our photographer, Ashley. This was such a great opportunity because it allowed us to get comfortable in front of the camera and get to know Ashley before the wedding day. From the moment we met her, Ashley was so friendly, kind, and made us feel completely at ease. By the time our wedding day arrived, it felt like we were working with someone we already knew and trusted. Prior to the wedding we filled out questionaires about the photos we wanted for our wedding, and who we wanted in our photos. On the wedding day, Ashley and her assistant Casey were incredible. They worked seamlessly with our videographer, kept everything organized, and truly took control in the best way possible. They knew exactly what they were doing, guided us when we needed direction, and helped the entire day flow so smoothly. We were able to get every photo we hoped for, and each one turned out absolutely beautiful. We were also so excited to receive 100 sneak peek photos within the week, and they were beyond what we could have imagined. They captured all of the special moments, emotions, and details of the day so perfectly. We are so grateful to Magdalena Studios, Ashley, and Casey for being such an important part of our wedding day. They are incredibly talented, professional, and made the entire photography experience so enjoyable. We would highly recommend them to any couple looking for photographers who will capture their day beautifully and make them feel comfortable every step of the way!”

Hi I'm Danielle and I’m so excited you’re here! I freaking LOVE my job! I get to come into your life, envelop myself in the magic of your love, inspire sweet interactions and freeze those unbeatable moments in time. After 6 years doing happy dances and climbing over things to ‘get the shot’, I’ve only become steadily more obsessed with illustrating love, nailing the shot, and serving my couples in every way I can. If you seek classic images with a heap of genuine emotion and a dash of adventure, I already know we’ll be fast friends. Let’s grab a virtual coffee and hang!

“If I could add 100 stars, I would. Danielle was phenomenal from the start. She was extremely responsive to all of my questions. One thing that I believe makes Danielle stand out from other photographers is her adaptability. For our engagement photos, our initial location did not work out, but she was quick and willing to switch locations at the last minute. She knew exactly where to go to get the perfect pictures that fit our vision. My husband and I were initially so nervous about taking pictures, but Danielle made the process so seamless and FUN! My husband and I still rave about our engagement session. For our wedding, it was a very chaotic few days leading up to the event. I had to make changes to the schedule at the last minute and she was kind and accomodating, and rolled with the punches like a true professional. She had to deal with a lot of moving parts and did it with true grace. She eased my anxiety and was a pure joy to work with. She also had her second photographer with her, Taylor who was also pure perfection, and they both worked really well with my son, who has ASD. I felt that I had friends working with me, and not just business owners who wanted to collect a payment. Her work is unmatched, but her kindness towards her clients especially during stressful times is something that you can't get from just anybody. Danielle is truly a special soul, and I will continue to work with her for future projects. I will tell anyone I can about how perfect she is, and having her as your wedding photographer is the only logical choice you can make for a smooth and happy day!”

Timothy Anderson Jr Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (7 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Lakehurst, NJ

I’m an artist, a husband, a brother, a dear friend, an inquirer of life and a creative soul. I was born and raised in central New Jersey (if such a thing exists) where I still reside. I have a deep appreciation for the nostalgic things in life. Things that have the ability to bring you back to a happy place in your lifetime. I suppose this is why I love what I do so much, why it is so fulfilling. I am creating those nostalgic things for everyone else.

“Tim was an excellent choice for our wedding photographer! From start to finish, he made the process easy. He was always there to discuss and was a great help in figuring out the timeline of our day. He made us feel at ease on the day itself, and captured some amazing shots in a more documentary style, which is what we were looking for. Jeff, the second photographer he brought, was also great and had a great personality. Definitely recommend!”

A perfect blend of dreamy art and real moments, not bound by tradition or convention. You don’t have to choose between fine art or documentary-style photos for your memories. You can have both; art that feels like you and candids that show how the day really felt. You'll be encouraged to live in the moment during your wedding with your partner and guests. I'll be there to document it all and turn it into art.

“I can’t recommend Jess enough! From the moment we booked her, she made everything so easy and relaxed. On the day of the wedding, she was a total pro—super attentive and really took the time to understand the vibe we were going for. She gave us just the right amount of direction to make sure we looked our best, but also let us be ourselves and enjoy the day. The photos came out absolutely stunning—she perfectly captured the emotions and all the little details we wanted. We couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. If you’re looking for someone who’s not only talented but also makes you feel totally comfortable, Jess is your person!”
