As your lead shooter, he had a passion for photography his entire life, capturing moments around him in the most authentic ways until one day Brittany told him “go full time”, it was insane. He fell in love with wedding photography and the emotion it brought out for everyone involved. Coming home so happy with unique stories and photos from all over the state, Brittany knew she needed to join him on wedding days. Having a background in hospitality for 20 years Brittany began coordinating the day alongside Mark.

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!

I can't thank her enough for her outstanding professional work!!! Alison perfectly achieved the soft curls and half ponytail I wanted, and her work lasted all day!!!! I danced, sweated, and even did pirouettes, yet my hair and curlers remained impeccable! (This is especially impressive since my natural hair is extremely straight!). They were professional, punctual, kind, and patient. One advantage for me was that they had previously worked at Park Chateau, making navigating the venue easy. Overall, communication with Alison and her team was excellent and prompt. My mom and bridesmaid LOVED their hair and makeup as well. My mom kept saying she couldn't believe how good it looked—it was like she had an Instagram filter on! I highly recommend her 100000000000!! I am incredibly grateful!!!!

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
Wild Hearts was the best photographer you could ask for on your wedding day! Kamelia is great at communicating throughout the entire process. Ahead of the wedding day we had a comprehensive 45 min conversation before I booked her about vision. She actually helped me get a timeline set up for the day and gave me a list of other recommended vendors which I used to find my hair/makeup stylist. It was very easy because the payments were broken up over time so nothing snuck up on you. About 1 week before my fiancé and I met up with Kamelia over brunch to discuss the locations of all the shots we planned on taking, the color scheme, all family members for those photos, and to get more comfortable with each other. I really appreciated this. The day of the wedding I could ask for nothing better. Kamelia is very organized and kept the whole day running with great direction. It was easy to follow her direction to set up poses and get some candid shots. Allyson was the other photographer and really got along with the groom and the groomsmen. They knew all of the good spots around Asbury Park and the board walk to get photos. The best times that my husband and I had was when it was just us and the photographers walking around Asbury Park Boardwalk. We were all vibing having a great time and I really think that made the photos even better. They are both such lovely and professional individuals to work with and it shows. Both photographers took INCREDIBLE photos. You always want your wedding photos to turn out great but these exceeded my expectations. Every single person at my wedding has nothing but incredible things to say about the photos. I would highly recommend Wild Hearts if you are getting married in or around Asbury Park. They were beyond a pleasure to work with.

Once I reached out she provided me with all of the details and hoped on a call right away.

I have gotten my hair and make up done for other weddings and events and no one has ever went above and beyond like Gabriella and her team did. Something myself and all of my bridal party appreciated the most was that she reached out to every member of my bridal party ahead of time to gather inspiration photos and make sure everyone felt confident and excited about their look. Her team was very professional and fun to be around. On the big day, she and her team were absolute magic. Everyone looked stunning and felt like the best version of themselves.

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. Family is everything to me and my clients are an extension of that. I could eat tacos daily, adore martinis, and decorate my home with a coastal chic inspiration. 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. Kaitlin's energy is unmatched, and she made the entire bridal party so comfortable and relaxed on our wedding day.

Awarded Best of Zola
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!

My name is Reverend Sandra and I am the owner of Storybook Officiants LLC. I have been officiating weddings since 2011 and am passionate about love & commitment. Creating the perfect wedding ceremony for each couple is my heartfelt passion. Storybook Officiants aims to craft custom wedding ceremonies that are filled with good energy, personalization, deep emotion, laughter, and occasional tears of joy. I specialize in crafting personalized ceremonies to resonate with each couple's unique journey. Whether traditional vows or with a blend of different bespoke elements, I provide guidance to ensure your ceremony is heartfelt and memorable.

Having Sandy as our officiant was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From the very first meeting, she made us feel like we had known her forever. She didn’t just get to know us as a couple, she spent time with our close family and friends, making sure every detail of the ceremony truly reflected who we are and what matters most to us. That kind of effort is rare, and it made our ceremony feel so genuine, heartfelt, and personal. On the day of, Sandy brought such warmth, ease, and joy to every moment. She told our story beautifully and made us feel completely present, even in front of a crowd. Afterward, countless guests told us how touching the ceremony was, and it’s all thanks to Sandy’s gift for connecting with people. Not only did we have the perfect officiant, but by the end of this journey, we also gained a friend. If you want someone who will go above and beyond to make your ceremony unforgettable, Sandy is the one. We couldn’t imagine our wedding without her.
