But, not everyone has a way to go back and read their story. Not everyone has a Notebook. But, you will! Once you see the beautiful story that’s told through your wedding film you’re going to cherish it forever.

From the drone footage, to the ceremony to the dancing and everything in between, wow just wow ! And the best part was you did not feel like you had a video camera in your face all day ! Y ou barely noticed they were filming you all day! And they were the nicest guys on top of it ! 10/10 recommend !!!!

He avoided the typical "wedding-y" songs and created the party atmosphere we dreamed of.

Ten stars! I know I am super late, but better late than never. I just wanted to say thank you for how awesome Michael and the Red Bank Studio team were for our wedding. From their punctuality and professionalism throughout the whole process, to Michael’s contagious smile and good spirit on the wedding day, we must say that we could not have been able to find anyone else better than them to take care of us on our special day. I am not just saying this myself, but in fact many of my guests very impressed with Michael’s work and charisma, and came to me to complement his work and personality. Your energy, your charm, and your ability to make people laugh even when they do not want to, made our wedding day extra special. I must say that I was extremely worried about my husband and his lack of smiling skills, but he gave us the best smile I have ever seen in him. More than taking pictures and recording a video, Michael and the team would make sure that we were comfortable and we never felt overwhelmed with pictures that day. They actually enjoy their work. You can tell is not a job for them! I cannot thank you guys enough, and I will be forever grateful for the stellar work you guys performed at our wedding. I wish you and your team a successful and healthy 2023, and I hope we get to work together soon!

Awarded Best of Zola
If you are looking to have a wedding where your guests do not leave the dance floor the entire night - look no further because JB Pro Live is who you need!! Our DJ, Jan, absolutely exceeded all expectations we had as a DJ for our wedding day. When we met with him before the wedding, we gave him a few of our favorite songs but told him to use his discretion as what was most important to us was having everyone dancing and enjoying themselves. WELL, did he know what he was doing!!! Our dance floor was filled the ENTIRE NIGHT. We had 220 guests at our wedding, and 0 of them were sitting. We have guests who didn't even know we had a photo booth or voicemail booth because they truly did not leave the dance floor one time to look around. Jan reads the room perfectly and truly has a niche for knowing what people like to hear. Our MC Matt was also so great! He helped keep the night on track and made sure we were enjoying ourselves the entire time. He was fun, entertaining, and kept the vibes going! We have had 10 guests ask for our DJs information so they can book him for their own wedding because he really was just that good. After just the first dance set alone, our guests were excited and ready to party because he set the tone perfectly! We also booked a saxophonist through JPBRO as well as a dry ice machine, indoor firework fountains, and the snow effect and they were all perfect! The snow was by far the best addition! It was practically real snow (way better than what we were expecting) and all of our guests went crazy over it! The saxophonist was also a great touch and played practically every song throughout the night which our guests loved! And of course the dry ice machine and indoor firework fountains looked so great in our wedding pictures! Request Jan as your DJ- he is worth every penny and you will not regret it!!! He is absolutely a pro at what he does and you can guarantee that with him, not only will you have the best night of your life, but your guests will as well!

Working with Mandy was an absolute dream! For my makeup trial, I gave her a reference photo and she copied it exactly. She took my very minimal comments from the trial and implemented them perfectly for the big day—I’ve never felt so beautiful! I love Mandy’s style because I’m not someone who wears makeup regularly, and she made sure I still felt like myself. She enhanced all my features in such a natural, effortless way. My makeup put stayed all night and looked fantastic in photos. Mandy was also incredibly professional and organized. She provided a detailed timeline for myself, my bridal party, mom and (now) mother-in-law for the wedding day, which was so helpful for coordinating with my hair artist and keeping everything running smoothly. She was always prompt and responsive via email. I can’t recommend Mandy enough!

When I’m not shooting weddings around the globe, you’ll find me in Cape May, shopping at my favorite local spots with a coffee in hand or walking on the beach.

As an international photographer, I have the pleasure of traveling and experiencing new coastal towns and culters which brings me so much joy!

From the minute we spoke with Kaitlin on the phone, we knew we needed her to be a part of our special day and wedding planning journey. She made us feel like we mattered and that we weren't just another business transaction for her. Kaitlin's communication style was open and honest. She is very organized and prepared, as she sends planning documents for the couple to work on along the way. Her open communication and responsiveness to any and all of our questions made us feel so relaxed and at ease. Her work is detail-oriented and timeless, and she truly valued us as part of the KNC family, not just her customers.

Makeup was one of the most important aspects of my wedding for me because I like a specific, more natural look. Monica's background and experience is impressive. She was professional and supportive and is incredibly talented. Monica made it look like I wasn't wearing a lot of makeup but accentuated my assets and played down my flaws. She also has a huge range of what she can do as the other women in my bridal party all had very different requests and looks. Everyone looked amazing and I can't recommend Monica enough. She is a step above a lot of other makeup artists that I've had experience with; she is a true artist.

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.

Victor with Victory Photographs was a lifesaver after we had issues with our original photographer and had to find a replacement. He was responsive, kind, and respectful in all of our communications leading up to the big day. On the wedding day itself, Victor struck the perfect balance between guiding us to get great photos while also letting my husband and I enjoy our reception. His friendly demeanor put us at ease. The end results speak for themselves - Victor captured all of the special moments of our wedding beautifully with his high quality work. My husband and I felt relieved knowing we were in good hands with Victor. We'd highly recommend him to any couple looking for a talented, professional photographer who also makes you feel comfortable in front of the camera.

Edwin from Enchanted Celebrations was a true pleasure to work with for our wedding video. From our very first interaction, their communication style was easy, fun, and happy - they clearly love what they do and it shows. The quality of their work was creative, very good, and absolutely amazing. They captured so many special moments throughout our day in a way that was fun, emotional, and totally us. We couldn't be happier with the final video and would highly recommend Enchanted Celebrations to any couple looking for a videographer who will help make their wedding day unforgettable.
