Sincerely Dj Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (14 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,700
  • Serves Newark, NJ

Hi there! I’m Djaniella (or dj for short). I love storytelling, adventures, and creating connections with people. I’m attracted to a meaningful image, and being able to relive that moment in my mind. A coffee shop and an ice cream parlor is always on my list whenever I visit a new town. I love the sound of waves crashing along the shore, I love people-watching, I love basketball, I love spending time with my family, and I love good food. Thanks for visiting! Let’s work with each other :)

Awarded Best of Zola
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!!

They allowed us to feel comfortable when taking photos and helped guide us with poses as my now husband and I are NOT great picture takers lol. Thank you so much!!!

Awarded Best of Zola
If you are contemplating between Jen & Steve and anyone else- PICK THESE TWO! We could not be happier with our experience and our photos. From the start, Jen and Steve were an absolute dream to work with. They listened to our vision and brought it to life effortlessly. They have a way of balancing timeless, elegant vibes with authentic, candid moments. We didn't want anything to feel staged or forced, but we still wanted some classic wedding photos, and they nailed the balance perfectly. They also made us feel super comfortable. They were easy to talk to, didn't make us feel awkward doing poses, and genuinely made us laugh through the whole process. Posing for photos can be tedious, but this wasn't! They are also such sweet people. If this didn't convince you to go with them yet, then the photos speak for themselves. Their photography skills are unbelievable and they took such beautiful photos of us on our wedding day. We literally look at them at least once a day since we have gotten our preview gallery because they are so stunning. They created our first heirloom to share with our families and we couldn't be happier with how the photos came out and the experience they gave us.

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 can’t say enough good things about Seth! From the moment we booked him, he made the entire process feel so easy and stress-free. He was always available to answer our questions and made us feel so comfortable leading up to our wedding day. On the day of, Seth and Sarah were calm, fun, and somehow managed to be everywhere at once without ever feeling intrusive. He captured all of the big moments and so many little ones that we’ll cherish forever. The moment we went through even just our sneak peaks, we were already blown away. The photos are absolutely stunning and brought us right back to our wedding day! Hiring Seth was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding, and we couldn’t recommend him more!!

I have nothing but good things to say about Geoff and his colleague, Alan. Geoff from the very beginning was so responsive and accommodating. As someone planning a week worth of wedding events on their own, it was a daunting task. Geoff only served to alleviate some of that stress. Geoff captured photos for our engagment, my mehndi and haldi, as well as our Vivah Sanskar, and Christian ceremony and reception during fourth of July 2025 weekend. Each shot is so beautiful and I believe captures our love and our families so well. This will definitely not be the last time we choose to work with Geoff.

We couldn’t be happier we that chose Chris to be our wedding photographer. He made us feel so at ease in front of the camera, and he made the process fun (even in the 90 degree July weather). Our photos are stunning- the posed photos aren’t boring or overly posed, and the candid shots make us feel like we’re reliving the day all over again. We ended up behind schedule due to circumstances out of our control, but Chris stayed late just to make sure he fully captured the day. He clearly loves what he does, and he’s one of the best.

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.

Angelica was quick and easy to communicate with. She captured all of the emotion of the day with a lot of real and candid shots. She was SO fast with getting all the photos back to us. It felt like there was just another friend there.

I’m drawn to couples who value authentic moments alongside beautifully crafted portraits. From getting ready details through to your final send off, I work intuitively and unobtrusively so you can stay present while I preserve the joy, elegance, and energy of your day.

Awarded Best of Zola
From initial meeting to getting our highlights in under a week, working with Bryan was a dream. Right off the bat, he understood we weren't very touchy/PDA couple and were definitely not used to having a camera in our face. We had Bryan join for our rehearsal dinner to get some family photos and give us a chance to get comfortable, and right away he did just that. Taking photos didn't feel like taking photos with Bryan. It was a private moment we had away from the chaos of a wedding day. On our wedding day, Bryan and Kyle arrived on-time and ready to go for our first looks. Bryan has an amazing eye for finding the perfect shots, whether that was avoiding some rain puddles on the ground, or less-than photo worthy NYC city streets, he truly made us the focus of every shot. Throughout the night not only were they capturing all the sweet sentimental moments of our first hours as a married couple, but Kyle was on the dance floor getting shots of everyone which I know we will cherish forever. All our guests enjoyed taking photos with Byran and Kyle and emphasized their enthusiasm and good vibes all day long! Even non-wedding guests have been complimenting our photos, and admiring the true beauty of our celebration.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Zina at many events through WEDVIBE, and I can honestly say she is amazing. She is incredibly professional, attentive to every detail, and knows exactly how to capture the beauty and atmosphere of an event. We often work together at private events for high-net-worth and ultra-high-net-worth clients, where discretion, efficiency, and respect for people’s time are extremely important. Zina has exceptional people skills and an incredible ability to connect with clients naturally. She knows how to read the room, communicate with ease, and make people feel comfortable without ever being intrusive. Everything feels effortless, while behind the scenes she keeps the photography organized and running smoothly. Whenever I arrive at a venue and see Zina there, I already know I’m going to get amazing photos. Every single time. She has such a great eye for detail, knows all the right angles, and somehow manages to capture everything without disrupting the flow of the event. Her editing is another one of her strengths, and she delivers galleries much faster than most photographers I’ve worked with, which is such a huge plus. I absolutely love working with her and would highly recommend Zina to anyone looking for a wedding or special event photographer. Through WEDVIBE, she consistently delivers not only beautiful photography, but also professionalism, discretion, and an exceptional client experience. You’ll be in the best hands!

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!

We spent a lot of time looking for the right wedding photographer and from the moment we found Michelle she was nothing short of wonderful! From the first call, she was attentive and thoughtful, helping us think through all of the different aspects of the wedding and what we would need. She was honest and helpful throughout! She also pays really close attention to the details – like sending us a cute holiday card. Anytime I had a question she would answer SHOCKINGLY fast and made sure we were scheduled for a final call a week out to align on everything. She is a pro who has done this so many times so her advice was invaluable. Day of the wedding she struck the perfect balance between moving things along and making sure we got all the right photos while also blending into the background and capturing beautiful candid shots. She instantly put us at ease with her calm energy and corny jokes! Working with her made the entire day easier. Within ~10 days from the wedding we already had a blog post with AMAZING photos and soon after access to every photo from our wedding. Michelle is worth every penny and thanks to her we have so many beautiful photos we can’t even pick our favorites!!!!

Awarded Best of Zola
Kimberly is an expert. And we would recommend her to anyone. My partner was a groomsmen in a wedding that Kimberly was the photographer for and he was so impressed by her presence and efficiency (not to mention we both loved her photography) that we immediately reached out when it came to our wedding.  Her ability to capture the best and sweetest moments without feeling like we were surrounded by cameras is truly a super power. We were floored by the incredible images she took. Not only did she manage the schedule based off of the photos we wanted to take, but her talent is evident in the countless pictures we have from our wedding weekend that look back on this special milestone. She captured the essence of our day in ways that felt natural to my partner and me -- and to us, that's the mark of an expert photographer.  Kimberly also balances this ability to wield a calm and warm energy while commanding a large room of people to get a photo together -- which is not easy. Her energy and grace is exactly what you need on a stressful day filled with places to be and schedules to follow. She was truly our favorite person to work with leading up to and during the weekend. Easy, efficient, communicative and most importantly kind.  Photos are important to look back on the day you've spent so much time preparing for and we would put our faith in Kimberly all over again for future events and endless recommendations to other couples. We are forever grateful for the beautiful pictures she took of us.

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?

Awarded Best of Zola
When we were planning our New York City wedding, we didn't quite know where to start when selecting our photographer. We are both creatives and we wanted someone who had a unique style that didn't feel too 'generic'. We asked around our networks and had Ben recommended to us.. and boy, are we lucky to have found him. Ben and his entire team (including his manager, Abby, and wife, Karis) were an absolute joy to work with- and while we haven't had a chance to see all of the finished pictures quite yet, the sneak peeks he has shown us are absolutely perfect. He even printed a few selects out during dinner and presented them to us as we were sitting at the table - it was the best surprise! Ben is a true artist. He allows the atmosphere and the energy of the room influence where and how he shoots. He finds natural light and discovers all of the hidden nooks and crannies in a space to create true magic. In addition to his artistry, Ben will work with you and tailor (or streamline) his services wherever he can to meet your target budget - which does not always happen with vendors at his level. Very grateful for his flexibility. We are so grateful to have found Ben - we can't recommend him and his incredible team enough!

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.

Chynna knows exactly how to do her job & the way she was so patient! We aren’t really big into photos, but she absolutely made us feel so comfortable! I found her on wedding wire, her editing and picture taking skills is what really made us go with her but her personality is a BONUS. She was within our budget and we couldn’t be more thankful!

Hi! I’m Stan, a professional photographer based in Northern New Jersey. I’ve been photographing weddings around the world for 15 years. I love creating timeless photos with a classic European style. Just be yourselves and enjoy the day - I’ll capture the good stuff and step in when you need a little direction. No pressure, no awkward stuff. Just great photos of a great day.

Stan is an amazing photographer. We had an early morning, small proposal at Piers Park. He captured candid moments and also helped pose us so we didn't look awkward. Our photos came out absolutely beautiful and we couldn't believe how quickly they arrived. Stan truly is a phenomenal artist. Throughout the entire process he was always prompt at responding and very professional. Stan exceeded our expectations and we highly recommend him!
