Wedding Bug was amazing to work with! The customer service from the start while communicating via email was really good! And then our photographer, James. He was so thorough while taking pictures, it a pleasure working with him! Everyone enjoyed him very much! We absolutely love our pictures and so glad we got a photographer to capture our day since we aren't too big on taking pictures ourselves. He is very creative and really works with the space!

Awarded Best of Zola
We had such a great experience with Enchanted Celebrations for our wedding! From the beginning, Summer was wonderful to work with. She was very responsive, helpful, and always quick to answer our questions throughout the planning process. Our photographer, Ash, was amazing. He was extremely professional, attentive, and so easy to work with. You can really see how devoted and passionate he is about his work and how much he cares about getting the perfect shots. He had great ideas throughout the day and made us feel completely taken care of. Even some of our friends noticed how great he was and commented on it afterward. Our videographer, Randolph, was also amazing. His enthusiasm and positive energy made us feel so comfortable and confident in front of the camera. He was very attentive throughout the day, and we could tell he genuinely cared about capturing all the important moments. The only thing I would recommend to future couples is that if you choose a specific photographer from their portfolio, ask Enchanted Celebrations to confirm that person’s availability before making your payment. We selected a photographer when we booked about eight months before our wedding, but around two weeks after booking, we were told that photographer wasn’t available. Their contract does state that if your selected photographer isn’t available, they can assign another photographer from those available, but I would have appreciated having the availability confirmed before we booked and paid. That being said, we ended up being extremely happy with Ash and Randolph. They were both wonderful to work with and made us feel like we were in great hands on such an important day. We can’t wait to see everything they captured. Thank you to the entire Enchanted Celebrations team! Her are pictures taken from Ash the photographer for the engagement shoot !

Hyde Photography

  • Serves Newark, NJ

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).

Seth was amazing as our wedding photographer! Our wedding package included an additional photo shoot that we used as an engagement shoot. This session helped us feel at ease with our decision. He made us feel very comfortable in front of the camera and we were so impressed with how those pictures turned out. Leading up to the wedding day he helped us build our day of timeline and we compiled a list of must have pictures. Seth and Drea helped us stay on schedule and were able to capture all the pictures we wanted. They were organized, professional, and prepared. Any time during the night we wanted a photo captured, Seth and Drea were already on it. They made it so easy for us to enjoy and have fun knowing they were capturing all our special moments. Seth even agreed to stay later because it started snowing and we took some amazing photos in the snow! Seth turned around wedding preview photos for all the big moments in only a few days. These pictures are amazing! We already have many of the framed and hung in our home.

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.

  • Serves Newark, NJ

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
I don't even know where to START!!!! This gal immediately became part of the crew from the first photos with the bridesmaids to the end of the night rager! Angelica and her second shooter were both incredible start to finish. Great at going with the flow but also making sure to get those photos that I had on my shot list (no matter how hard everyone was making that haha!) She had the best energy that helped me not feel nervous at all and honestly empowered from the start. She got so many amazing details that we are literally having a viewing party with all of our local guests because we just cannot choose which photos to post. I chose her because her photos and galleries all looked so different but one common theme was everyone looked like they were 1. having fun and 2. being themselves. Personally posed photos aren't for me. So when I saw her galleries I knew I wanted her above all other photographers. And I had a chart of 21 that I researched but after my first meeting with her I was sold. I chose three photos for this review- one of her capturing the insanity of our hair at the reception, Angelica being a part of the crew (my dad mentioned 3 times how great she was and how much he loved her and the second shooter) and the one where she truly shows her style of capturing natural excitement in the people and world around her.

My name is Christopher Kayfield. I’m a professional photographer working in the NYC and Philadelphia areas. I focus on personality, humor, and sincerity. A visual storybook, capturing moments that you're there, and the moments you miss!

Awarded Best of Zola
When we started planning our May 2026 wedding, we were not particularly excited about the photography aspect of the day. Posing for hundreds of tacky staged shots seemed an inevitable hurdle (especially as a very camera-awkward couple)...until we saw Christopher's portfolio. We reached out immediately when we saw what our wedding photos COULD be. While, naturally, plenty of formal shots were taken, they were quick and painless. What truly stood out was his ability to catch the right shot at the right time, capturing not only beautiful, thoughtful compositions, but also the true feel of the day, from morning prep to last dance. Upon receipt of the photos, we laughed...we cried...we "awww"d... Viewing them felt like reading a narrative, allowing us to relive our favorite day. Aside from his unparalleled expertise with a camera and editing, Christopher is also just a really, really cool guy. He answered our multitude of silly, repetitive questions, but more than that, we truly loved being able to chat and get to know him. His cool, calm presence chilled out the hectic morning of getting ready, and he was organized and professional throughout the planning process. His assistant, Kyle, was also absolutely wonderful! Go Kayfield or go home!!!

Hello! I'm Florencia, a wedding photographer based in NY/NJ and I'm looking forward to meeting you! I'm fluent in English and Spanish and I found myself working with multicultural couples a lot. That's one of the many amazing parts of my work. I've been capturing love stories for more than seven years and I LOVE to do this for a living.

Awarded Best of Zola
We absolutely loved our experience with Flo as our photographer and hiring her was the best decision that we made about our wedding day. We interviewed a few photographers but had an instant connection with Flo who seemed so enthusiastic and genuinely excited for our love story and wedding. She had such positive energy and we knew we wanted that kind of energy surrounding us on our wedding day. She was also willing to customize a package for us to work with our budget and our needs for the wedding day which was so reassuring - and she is worth every penny of what she charges. We had an awesome engagement session with her before the big day, and even when I broke a nail on the way there, she was so great at keeping me from stressing out. We were able to relax and laugh a lot and be ourselves on camera, and the photos were stunning. We also appreciated how Flo kept in touch with us on Instagram leading up to the wedding and afterwards - it must be so much work to keep up with all of her clients but it really felt so nice that she was following us on our wedding journey. She was so supportive, liking our stories and posts and letting us know she was consistently invested in our story. When the wedding day came it was like we were meeting up with an old friend even though we'd only met in person once for the engagement session. Flo also worked with us to figure out the "wedding timeline" that every vendor seemed to want even though we were a little clueless about it to start. She came up with a plan for the most efficient use of our time to make the day go the smoothest and it really worked out perfectly. She kept us on schedule and used the questionnaire we had filled out to make sure she got all of the shots we requested. All of our wedding party and family told us how great she was and how much they liked working with her. She and her second photographer and assistant were ON IT and captured so many moments throughout the day, they didn't miss a thing! We were able to put complete trust in her and just enjoy the wedding. As for the photos themselves, her style is so beautiful and striking and exactly what we were looking for - we love how saturated her colors are and it worked perfectly for our jewel tone fall wedding. She has a passion for sunset lighting as well and the pictures from our engagement and wedding day at sunset came out so beautifully. For both engagement and our wedding, we had a bunch of sneak peek photos within a day or two which was great to tide us over while we waited for the final products. Communication and payment and the photo gallery platform were all super straightforward. We cannot recommend Flo enough for the genuinely positive energy she will bring to your planning process and wedding day and for the gorgeous photos she will capture on your special day.

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. We couldn’t be happier with our experience or our photos and would recommend him without hesitation to anyone looking for a talented, thoughtful, creative, and genuinely wonderful photographer!

Working with Bryan was a joy. He is communicative, kind, relaxed, and so skilled in his art. He took the time to get to know us as a couple first and then as clients, which I'm sure helped his understanding of what we wanted and needed to capture. He knew the prompts to suggest to create gorgeous photos and was willing to work with is with the many things we wanted to try during portraits and the reception (including dealing with rain and a huge group photo where he graciously accepted standing on a chair to get the shot). He was thorough and got every shot that we asked for and used his talent and skill to give us many more that have become our favorites. The photos were given to us extremely fast and at a beautiful quality – everyone we've shown them to adores them. He was accommodating on the day and the result is nothing short of stunning – it helps us relive the day in clarity, which is priceless.

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

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 had such an amazing experience with Djaniella. What drew us to her was the sense of character and warmth in her photography. From the start, she was very thoughtful and attentive to our vision. It was clear that not only did she want to provide us with beautiful photos, but she also wanted to give us photos that captured our personalities and our relationship. We are a bit of a goofy couple, so her ability to both have fun with us but also remain professional and bring out more serious shots was very important. She made what could, at times, feel awkward much more comfortable by providing clear direction and feedback. I appreciated how she checked in to see what our favorite photos from our engagement shoot were to better understand our preferences before the wedding. After a medical emergency at our wedding, she was also very kind and generous with her time, staying an extra hour to capture more of our reception. We would absolutely work with her again given the chance—she’s really great!

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!!!!

We had the pleasure of having Kim photograph our Adirondack wedding in June 2012. From our first email exchange, she was professional, prompt, and most importantly - got exactly the feeling and vibe we were looking for. The photos of the wedding day turned out incredible. Looking back ten years later, we are still in awe of how she was about to capture the magic of our special day so perfectly. Thank you, Kim!

Honesty in Your Photography: That's not just a promise but a guiding principle. As your photographer my passion lies in capturing the essence of your day - the feelings, the love, and the authentic emotions that happen organically. My approach is centered on embracing the beauty of genuine connections and preserving the unique atmosphere of your wedding day, wherever those moments may happen.

Adam was an absolute JOY to work with and we were so fortunate to have him as a part of our special day! Working with him on our engagement shoot and wedding day was so much fun - he truly made everything feel very relaxed and made the process easy. He was in constant communication with us leading up to our big day and answered all the questions we had. He rolled with all the hurdles of the day - including the weather - and created absolutely beautiful photos that we will cherish forever!! He also sent us 70 photos within 24 HOURS of our wedding so we could quickly relive all the happiness of the day! An absolute 1000/10 definitely recommend!!!

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?

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!

Hey there, I’m David! I’m a down-to-earth wedding photographer based in NJ, born and raised with strong family values that keep me grounded. My passion is capturing genuine connections and turning fleeting moments into timeless memories. When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll find me spending time with my three dogs! My mission is to capture beautifully real, candid moments—big or small—so you can relive them forever.

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.

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!
