Fen Video Production 
Rating: 5.0 (16 reviews)
Matawan, NJ
  • Videographer
  • Documentary style
  • Starts at $2,500

Hello! My name is Fen, nice to meet you online! I’m a freelance cinematographer and editor. I split my time between shooting weddings and indie films. I enjoy doing both because I love the thrill of operating a camera and I love people and stories! I have shot almost 400 weddings and I edit everything myself. In my spare time I love swimming, hiking, skiing, traveling with my family, writing and learning all kinds of stuff. I’m very curious about the world!

“Fen is absolutely wonderful!! I found Fen Video on Zola and was immediately struck by the fact that I recognized one of the brides in the promo trailers as an old friend from my home town. I took that as a great sign and reached out to Fen and only Fen to ask about being our videographer. We corresponded a few times to exchange ideas, locations, details etc and everything was always very simple and easy. Day of the wedding, Fen worked closely with our photographer and together they coordinated our First Look photo shoot, which they both captured beautifully. Fen left early to set up at the church and tactfully set up several cameras to capture all the important moments of our traditional Orthodox ceremony. She was very respectful of the priest and the church customs. At the reception, she was EVERYWHERE. Slipping in and out of dance circles, capturing the different buffet lines, catching beautiful intimate moments between us and our guests, even getting right in the middle of our Greek dance circle. It was amazing! She was so sweet and generous with her time and efforts. Watching the footage back, she truly captured every special moment we could remember from that night and so many we didn’t even know were happening. Her style is simple, classic, and focused on the special personal moments. My husband and I are so grateful for Fen!”

Hi I’m Jess! Thanks so much for checking out my website. A little about myself, I'm a mom of 3 adventurous kids, wife to my best friend and a fur mama to our 2 Goldens. From a young age I became the family historian documenting my family through special occasions and milestones. I went on to study film and photography in college.

I'm a storyteller and I would be honored to document your day so you have an albums of memories to look back on.

“Jess Vogt Studios shot our wedding in Fort Lauderdale. We were so pleased with their professionalism and kindness through the whole process. Not only did they scope out the venue the day before our wedding, they made some creative suggestions along the way that translated beautifully in our photos. Jess communicated with us anytime we had questions (both before and after the wedding) and was available anytime we needed her. All of our family and friends said that Jess and her partner Anna were some of the nicest photographers they've met and were a joy to work with. We felt so comfortable with both of them on our wedding day, which translated to natural and gorgeous photos. We were blown away by the final photos and the quality of the albums that came with our package was top notch. Jess Vogt Studios is the best company to hire to capture your special moments!”

MTC Photography

Matawan, NJ
  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,900

I have been photographing weddings since 2008. As the wedding industry has evolved over the years so has the wedding photography aspect. Trends as in the past have long gone and newer more non traditional styles have evolved. As photographers, we have to continue to learn and hone our craft like most careers. The "MTC" stands for not only my initials but also stands for " Moments To Capture" I'd like to think that at every wedding, event, etc we are capturing moments and creating lasting memories. At the same time however, we are enjoying the day with our couples and making sure they have the best experience we can give them. Lets have fun!

“I’ve worked weddings with MTC Photography since 2012 - Manny and his team are by far my favorite to work with. They respect other vendors schedules (which is rare), never invade personal space and are not only professional, but also so much fun to work with! You know the moment Manny arrives - he always livens up the room and gets everyone excited. They know how to keep everyone on track and on schedule, without creating stress. I also love how the style of the photos are timeless and true to color, which I love reposting because they really show off my work nicely (as opposed to light and airy presets). I could not recommend a better company and always recommend them to my clients.”

“The Floral Eden brought our wedding vision to life in ways we didn't even expect. From our first conversation, the team responded to every question and concern right away, and they truly understood what we wanted for our big day. They created the most stunning centerpieces that sat on each table, and candles were placed throughout the venue to set the perfect mood. When we walked into our reception, the combination of florals and candlelight made everything feel absolutely magical and romantic. The quality of their work was exceptional, and we felt like we got incredible value for what they delivered. We can't recommend The Floral Eden highly enough to any couple planning their wedding.”

Since 2010, I’ve helped couples of all backgrounds feel seen, celebrated, and totally at ease on their big day. Every ceremony is written from scratch to reflect your vibe, your values, and your story—not a template in sight.

“We couldn’t have asked for a better officiant for our wedding! Kevin was the first officiant we met with, and we knew right away that he was the right choice. He did such an amazing job making our ceremony feel incredibly personal and meaningful. So many of our guests told us afterward that it was one of the best wedding ceremonies they had ever attended. We even had multiple people ask us how we knew him because the ceremony felt so personal that they assumed he must have known us for years! He made everything feel completely unique to us and told our story in such a natural, genuine way. It was heartfelt, personal, and still had the perfect amount of humor. We’re so grateful for how special he made our ceremony and would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for an officiant!”

“This is what dreams are made of. When I was a little girl, I had big dreams about what my future wedding would look like. As I got older and realized how much everything costs, I started to think my dream wedding would stay just that—a dream. But one thing never changed: I always wanted to get married in a little white chapel and walk down the aisle to the sound of a violin. Petya made that dream come true. From the moment I first reached out to her, we instantly connected. I knew, without a doubt, that no matter where we ended up getting married, she had to be a part of it. I’d listen to her music on YouTube and just melt. She’s cheerful yet calming, incredibly talented, and truly helped put me at ease throughout the process. The morning of my wedding was stressful, but Petya texted me with encouragement, lifting my spirits and getting me excited for the day ahead. Guests even told me how beautiful the atmosphere was as they waited for my arrival—all because of the ambiance she created through her music. As the church doors opened and I saw my soon-to-be husband standing at the altar, the sound of Petya’s violin made it feel like I was walking into a dream. I couldn’t see anyone else—it was as if her melody was wrapping around just the two of us. It might sound dramatic, but we had a very Christian ceremony, and we asked her to play worship music. It made the moment feel sacred, like God’s presence was truly among us. At the end of the ceremony, I ran up to her and couldn’t help but gush about how incredible she was. She gave us our fairytale moment.”

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”

“I still remember the first moment I saw her walking down the aisle. The groom’s face lit up in awe, and the whole room seemed to hold its breath. Their vows were full of laughter and tears, perfectly balanced and genuine. The flowers, the music, and even the soft candlelight created an atmosphere I’ll never forget. The reception felt intimate and joyful at the same time, with everyone celebrating the couple’s love. I smiled, cried, laughed, and felt my heart expand with happiness. It was impossible not to feel connected to their joy. Their first dance was ethereal, and the entire night seemed to shimmer with love. I left thinking about how beautiful love can be when it’s real and honest.”

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!”

“From our first meeting on their farm to the wedding day, it was such a pleasure working with Ulana and the Flower Barn at Locust Pointe team. Their communication style was professional, approachable, and amazing. The quality of their work was truly unique, whimsical, and gorgeous - their breathtaking florals made the venue incredible and there wasn’t a guest who didn’t ask who the florist was. Even the venue manager was so impressed that he made it a point to get their business card to refer them to others. They were so cooperative, knowledgeable, and professional to work with, and Ulana's creativity and talent is absolutely unmatched!”
