Awarded Best of Zola
“From the minute we started talking on the phone, Spencer and I felt taken care of and confident in Rich's ability to capture our lifelong memories. Doing the engagement shoot with him first was so excellent to establish rapport and get us comfortable in front of the camera before our big day. Once it was finally here, it was easy! And the pictures! Rich is a true professional and we are so glad we made the right decision choosing his skills, insight, and professionalism for our wedding!”

“All I can say is WOW! I found out about Jason when he did my sister’s wedding (and many of her husband’s family members' weddings as well). It was a no-brainer for us to have him do our wedding as well. Our wedding pictures came out absolutely amazing and it’s hard to believe all of our shots were done by just him! He was able to capture so many amazing pictures and moments throughout the entire day. Also, we asked him to drive to Albany, NY to do our engagement pictures in my husband’s hometown and he said yes without hesitation! On a personal note, we can’t thank him enough for his kindness, open communication, and passion for the work he does. It was truly a breeze working with him throughout our entire wedding process. We couldn’t recommend him enough!”

“We cannot say enough good things about our experience with Jen & Steve at The Fox & The Hare! They shot our Christmas wedding and captured the vibe, energy, and emotion in every photo! Not only are they highly skilled and professional, they are also kind and just great people to be around on the most important day of your life. We felt so relieved to be able to fully trust them with what was one of the most important parts of our wedding to us (photos). Since they are a husband/wife duo, it was super helpful when they were able to quickly show us posing references by demonstrating with each other. We are obsessed with our images. The coloring, the authentic moments they captured, and use of lighting…all just perfection. Look no further if you’re in need of a highly experienced, talented, and genuine photography team! We also booked a content creator through Fox and Hare and were so happy with our experience (thank you Louie!). It was really nice having a photo/video team who work together often! It just made everything run so smoothly!”

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.”

“We had a very small and simple wedding, and having Ellis there honestly made the day feel more special. From the moment he arrived, it felt like we had a friend with us — calm, kind, and quietly capturing all the little moments. We didn’t want anything overly posed or formal, and he understood that. The photos reflect exactly how the day felt — relaxed, full of love, and real. Looking through them now brings back so many little details we might have forgotten. We’re not used to being in front of the camera, but Ellis made us feel so comfortable, and that really shows in the photos.

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 an angel from the beginning. She is very intentional and genuine in getting to know her clients. It's clear her top priority is helping the couple curate and experience a memorable and one-of-a-kind celebration. From her cheerful spirit to her attention drawn eye, she is an amazing person to work with. Clearly I (we) can't say enough kind things about her, so you should book her and find out for yourself hehe.”

“I wish I could upload every single photo Chris took on our wedding day, but you'll just have to take my word for how awesome he is. Chris was super easy to work with, and since we live on the west coast, he was very flexible meeting with us over zoom. He made the planning process easy for us and every time we met, I felt a little weight of the wedding planning was lifted off of my shoulders. It ended up raining, and we moved the formal photos inside, and Chris was not only flexible, but made the room/photos look excellent. During the reception it cleared up and Chris took us outdoors for some couple photos, and I'm so glad he did. I've added some of my favorite pics, but I can't recommend Chris enough!!”

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.”

I gave Bryan a vision of what I wanted and he exceeded my expectations and delivered the most beautiful photos that we will cherish forever. He went out of his way to pick locations with amazing views to get the perfect shots and coached us on what to do.

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.

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!!!!”

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 is the best of the best! After scrolling through his photography we knew he would be our perfect choice, but after meeting him, our choice was solidified. Adam is easy going but professional which was portrayed during our first meeting with him. We shared similar styles of wedding photography showcasing the emotions of the day with raw, lighthearted candids vs strict poses with serious faces. We booked an engagement session with Adam, which was a great way for us to get comfortable in front of the camera and get to know Adam more. He allowed us plenty of time to get all the shot locations we wanted and gave us excellent cues to allow for natural poses. We felt at ease with Adam as if it was a best friend taking our photos. Throughout wedding planning, Adam was always there with a quick email response. He is organized, detail oriented and planned a check in with us before the wedding to ensure everything would go smoothly. He truly listened to what we wanted and what our goals were for the wedding day. On the day of our wedding, Adam was the most calm, attentive, and down to earth photographer. My husband and I had the best day of our lives and if you look through our pictures, Adam captured it perfectly. We like to think every part of our day went so smoothly because we had Adam on our side. He seamlessly got through all our family photos and made certain we got all the photos we had planned for. Although, we honestly loved Adam so much because he snapped away during all the moments, planned versus not planned. He has incredible ability to snap photos where you can see emotions and bring you right back to that moment. I cried tears of happiness when we received our sneak peek photos because they were everything and more I could have ever dreamed of. Our family and friends have consistently raved about Adam, not only for his beautiful photos, but the way he conducts himself. Hiring Adam was the best decision we could have ever made and we cannot recommend him enough! If you want to be able relive your wedding through your photos for the rest of your life, Adam is the man yo”

“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.”

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?

“Cannot recommend Ben enough! We did our engagement pictures with Ben ahead of our wedding and they were 1000/10. He is a master at finding the perfect lighting and did the perfect mix of the more modern photos we love and the more traditional ones our parents/grandparents love. My husband and I are both terrible at posing but Ben kept us comfortable and laughing our entire wedding day and made our photos look so natural! He is hilarious and brought such positive energy the entire day - everyone in our bridal party couldn’t say enough wonderful things about Ben! Ben even gave us a few preview physical prints during our reception which was such a beautiful touch! Can’t recommend Ben 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!”
