“The team at Original Photo & Video was friendly, professional, and full of creative ideas that made us feel confident and cared for. They listened closely to our shot list and brought it to life — the drone footage was especially epic! We can't wait to see the final gallery and relive every moment through their lens. Their style is cinematic yet deeply personal - every frame feels intentional, romantic, and full of movement. Teddy (Lead Photo) and Gabby (Second Photo) captured not just the big moments, but the quiet, emotional ones too, with an eye for light and composition that made everything look editorial-worthy. Jem (Lead Video) and Feddy (Second Video) brought such positive energy to the day - they were everywhere and nowhere all at once, capturing magic without ever interrupting the flow. You could feel their passion in every interaction, and it was contagious. Our other vendors kept commenting on how much they loved working alongside them — they were collaborative, respectful, and made everyone feel like part of the story. We're so grateful to have had this dream team documenting our day!”

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!”

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.

It's clear her top priority is helping the couple curate and experience a memorable and one-of-a-kind celebration. From her cheerful spirit to her attention drawn eye, she is an amazing person to work with. Clearly I (we) can't say enough kind things about her, so you should book her and find out for yourself hehe.”

“I wish I could upload every single photo Chris took on our wedding day, but you'll just have to take my word for how awesome he is. Chris was super easy to work with, and since we live on the west coast, he was very flexible meeting with us over zoom. He made the planning process easy for us and every time we met, I felt a little weight of the wedding planning was lifted off of my shoulders. It ended up raining, and we moved the formal photos inside, and Chris was not only flexible, but made the room/photos look excellent. During the reception it cleared up and Chris took us outdoors for some couple photos, and I'm so glad he did. I've added some of my favorite pics, but I can't recommend Chris enough!!”

“We truly cannot recommend Jia enough! He first photographed our engagement session in NYC and then, a year later, captured our wedding day. Having him there for both of these huge milestones made the experience even more special. From the very beginning, Jia was incredibly communicative, flexible, creative, and so easy to work with. What stood out to us most was how much time and thought he put into making our photos feel personal to us. He took the time to get to know us, understand what we envisioned, and incorporate little details and ideas that made our photos feel unique to our relationship rather than staged or generic. We absolutely LOVE Jia’s work and our photos. He has such a talent for capturing not only the big moments, but all of the little candid moments and details that made these days so special. Our photos genuinely feel like us, and looking through them brings us right back to those moments. We are so grateful Jia was there to capture both our engagement and our wedding.

“This review is a mix of both happy and a little disheartened. Our Photographer had such an amazing personality. He kept us on our toes. He kept us laughing, leading up to the big moment however, looking back on photos that were being taken in the bridal suite I feel like there’s a lot of mess in the background of them which I don’t blame the Photographer at all that is our fault and those photos did come out beautiful. Our reception photos came out beautiful, but what leaves us this heart in a little bit is our bridal party photos and alter photos. We were hoping to have close pictures of the altar and we didn’t. They’re just kind of dark looking. Which again I understand lighting in a venue I was just hoping for more of an edit, but the biggest one are the Bridal party photos. A lot of our girls look white washed, as if there was little no editing done to it. There was trash or mess in the background that as a photographer I would hope it would’ve been picked up on so we could’ve moved stuff out of the way. I received one photo back with our entire bridal party, which I was excited for to find out half of their faces are blurry and some people were cut out so I can’t share that photo. The rest of the pictures have shadows in them exit signs that could’ve been cropped out not centered properly. I know the day is a lot because there’s things I forgot for example, we never got a full family photo. My husband doesn’t have any with his siblings and parents same with me and my siblings and parents and with our siblings and parents altogether with us on both sides, which should’ve been something I thought of myself, but I know it was talked about prior. I loved our reception photos. I do wish there was a little more of our parents and us but the reception photos came out beautiful and amazing. I’m just a little disheartened with the private bridal party photos. However it’s an easy fix because my maid of honor is a Photographer and my bridal party is gonna. Dress back up and do their hair and make up the way it was that day and we’re gonna redo our photos. Overall though David was amazing to work with the communication was perfect. The payment plan was amazing. I remember one time having to pay him a little late and there was no issue at all. He actually gave me extra time and told me to wait until after the holidays. And I will forever be appreciative for that I would still hire David for other events. Attached are photos we did like and some that we didn’t - the one with our bridal party missing included”

“We are so happy with our decision to book Sincerely DJ Photography for our engagement photos in Nov 2024 and wedding photos on 9/20/25! We are obsessed with how our photos came out. We booked DJ because we loved her editing style and how natural yet happy the couples looked in the galleries on her website, and our photos were exactly what we were hoping for (but somehow even more amazing than we could have imagined). Coordinating our engagement shoot and wedding day timeline with DJ was easy and she is very responsive; she is very professional, kind, and down-to-earth, so we really enjoyed working with her on our wedding day. A bonus was that she was a natural when dealing with the younger kids who did not want to cooperate during portraits. Highly recommend Sincerely DJ to all couples!!”

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!

“Michelle and Allison (her 2nd shooter) were absolutely phenomenal! We were so excited to get our photos back -they were stunning and exceeded by expectations. Michelle is a breeze to work with, and a true professional. She was able to help us navigate everything from various terrain, to family dynamics, all while calming my nerves. Several of my bridesmaids who had been in other weddings/recently married remarked that they had wished their photographer was as organized yet calm and directive as her. She wrangled a big bridal party quickly and made sure we had amazing shots. We had such a blast with her during our engagement shoot (which I highly recommend doing!) as it gave us a feel for her fun personality (along with her dad jokes) as well as how she shoots, which helped me figure out poses I liked/didn’t since I am very self conscious. We loved that she tries to take photos that reflect “in the moment joy,” rather than just a ton of posed photos (though don’t worry, she will take plenty of beautiful portraits too). She really understood the importance of capturing the spirit of the day and we are so excited our photos!!”

“I knew I had made the right choice hiring Adam after our engagement shoot! He was kind, funny, and struck the perfect balance between giving direction and letting us just be ourselves. I felt so confident going into my wedding day with Adam as our photographer — but he still managed to exceed every expectation. As a bride managing chronic health issues, I woke up on the morning of my wedding not feeling my best. Adam not only captured all the essential photos and flat lays beautifully, but he also went out of his way to help with little things — like finding random items in the suite while I was a bit out of it. He stayed calm, patient, and reassuring even when we fell slightly behind schedule. Once I started feeling better, he jumped right back into action, guiding us through all of our photos — including family portraits — efficiently and effortlessly, without ever making us feel rushed. He worked with such professionalism, kindness, and ease, helping us get to the ceremony on time while still capturing every moment that mattered. We received our preview photos in record time, and I could not be happier with them. Adam’s images truly capture my husband and me in the most genuine, beautiful way. I would hire him again in a heartbeat!”

“David was exactly what we were hoping for in a photographer and I couldn’t have asked for someone better to capture our perfect day. From our first phone call to getting our photos, David has been there for us and going above and beyond to help us and make sure our planning was going okay and just life in general. We were looking for a creative photographer to put their own spin on our photos and get some unique poses and shots and David checked that box over and over again. David uses modern technology to ensure he captures the best of your moments and enhances the environment around you for just an even better product. Above all, we felt like we made a friend due to David’s positive attitude, the laughs we shared, and eagerness to capture YOUR moment. He is obviously a master of his craft and I recommend him to anyone that is looking for creativity in their photos, while also still capturing classy and classic poses. David is an incredible photographer that I simply can’t recommend enough.”

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!”
