We were thrilled with our wedding photographer from Wedding Bug. David was a dream to work with - his communication style was amazing throughout the entire process. He was incredibly responsive, made everything easy and fun, and had an incredible talent behind the lens. The photos David captured from our special day are stunning - he has such an artistic eye and brilliant way of composing shots. He brought so much energy and fun to our event, making all of our wedding party feel at ease while also directing us for gorgeous portraits. The value and quality of David's work is exceptional. I cannot recommend Wedding Bug highly enough - they are simply amazing! Their entire team, especially David, were a joy to work with and contributed so much to making our wedding day perfect. Frank was our DJ and he was absolutely amazing to work with. He kept the dance floor full and made quick adjustments to the crazy night. He was kind and smart and great to work with! I would book both of them a million times over!

We had a wonderful experience working with Sound Originals for our wedding photographer vendor. Our photographer did such an amazing job, he took so many beautiful photos, it's difficult to pick our favorite, lol. Which, is definitely the kind of problem you want to have. The entire process was so easy, it really removed a huge stressor from planning/the wedding day. We had so much fun working with Steve. I highly recommend Sound Originals for wedding photography needs!

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!!!

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.

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.

Where to even begin? We had seen Nicks work through a friend on IG and loved what we saw! We first met Nick during our engagement photoshoot. Nick made us both feel so comfortable and was so easy to work with. He quickly got our vibe and how we interacted with each other- and played into with his photos. We didn’t feel like we had to give him ideas- he knew exactly what to do and how to pose us. Then for the wedding, Nick and his team are PHENOMENAL. They are the most fun team to have with you on your wedding day. My husband does not like taking photo- Nick and his team “did not make the photos feel like a chore or a hassle” instead, my husband had so much fun with nick and his team. Nick will make you feel so beautiful on your wedding day and be your biggest hype man. He also really helped us since we did not have an event planner. He helped us with an entire day of timeline and kept things super organized for us. If you’re reading this and still haven’t booked Nicholas Yee Photography, what are you doing!?

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.

I booked a photo session that I used for my business and it was the best decision ever. The Photographer was on time and made me feel really comfortable on camera. The photos turned out so good I'm able to use them for marketing material and on my website. I was so happy that I booked another session for an event and now we have professional photos that captured our special event. These memories are priceless and the customer service is top notch. If you need a high quality Photographer I highly recommend giving Ellis N Design a try! The owner was also able to help me create a logo for my business and print some business cards for me as well.

Christopher is the best! From initial zoom meeting through wedding day and even after. His personality and sense of humor make working with him so fun and easy. He brought Kyle as our second shooter who was also laid back and wonderful. Low stress experience and high quality, beautiful pictures!!! Chris has awesome artistic vision and will do what he’s gotta do to capture the shot (shoes off, standing on furniture included). Our formal portraits feel modern, not stuffy and the dance floor candids put us right back in the moment. It was such a pleasure to have him with us capturing all our moments, big and small. Thank you Chris - so glad we found you!

  • 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.

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.

Bryan arrived to the getting ready suites on our wedding day with a framed photo of Dan and I from our engagement shoot, which we now have on our nightstand. Bryan is thoughtful, attentive, and truly cares about each couple. Bryan and Blaze were both supportive and efficient throughout the entire day. He even sent our sneak peek photos less than one week after our wedding on 2/1/25! Bryan and his team kept timing on track and helped keep the calm atmosphere throughout the day and night. The photos are absolutely stunning and everything we could have imagined- candid, clear, crisp and fun photos to really capture the energy of the night.

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!

Absolutely THE BEST! It has been a month after our wedding and looking through our hundreds of wedding pictures just takes us back to that magical day. Michelle does an amazing job as your photographer the day-of but also helps guide you every step of the way during the pre-planning stages. Here's a few reasons why you HAVE to pick Michelle if you connect with her style: *She will make you feel comfortable in front of the lens. We were very unsure as to what to do during our engagement shoot and we definitely did not want our pictures to come out as very posed, stiff or fake. Michelle took care of this in an instant, we got to talk, laugh, tell dad jokes throughout the shoot and our pictures came out like US which is what we truly wanted. The same goes for the day of the wedding, with a 12 person bridal party and multiple family configurations, Michelle was able to make everyone comfortable and naturally pose for our pictures. Not to mention, she was able to organize everyone for the church exit with the rice throw in a matter of minutes! *She will listen to what you want and provide her honest feedback with her years of experience. We were very set of having an engagement shoot in Jersey City not only was it crazy to get there, we got washed out with a huge storm (none the less she got great shots in a matter of 10 minutes!). She suggested we did another try but something more local like where we lived in Morristown. Not only were we more comfortable because we knew where to go, the pictures came out again looking more genuine in our hometown. *She is incredibly professional, takes her job seriously AND has an awesome personality. We got our pictures both for the engagement and wedding within a matter of weeks with some sneak previews the very next day! No watermarks and the possibility of downloading all of them instantly. She does her job with a smile on her face that is just contagious!

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.

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.

I knew I had made the right choice hiring Adam after our engagement shoot! He was kind, funny, and struck the perfect balance between giving direction and letting us just be ourselves. I felt so confident going into my wedding day with Adam as our photographer — but he still managed to exceed every expectation. As a bride managing chronic health issues, I woke up on the morning of my wedding not feeling my best. Adam not only captured all the essential photos and flat lays beautifully, but he also went out of his way to help with little things — like finding random items in the suite while I was a bit out of it. He stayed calm, patient, and reassuring even when we fell slightly behind schedule. Once I started feeling better, he jumped right back into action, guiding us through all of our photos — including family portraits — efficiently and effortlessly, without ever making us feel rushed. He worked with such professionalism, kindness, and ease, helping us get to the ceremony on time while still capturing every moment that mattered. We received our preview photos in record time, and I could not be happier with them. Adam’s images truly capture my husband and me in the most genuine, beautiful way. I would hire him again in a heartbeat!

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!

Hi, I'm Andrea! A Latina wedding photographer based in NJ/NYC, shooting both film and digital. I've spent 10 years behind a camera and 4 of those dedicated to weddings, and I still get butterflies every time. I'm part of the LGBTQI+ community and my space is safe and welcoming for all marriers, always. When I'm not making photographs, I'm crocheting, developing film in my home lab, traveling back home, or taking care of my chosen family. '•.¸♡ ♡¸.•'

We are so happy with the pictures Andrea took of us on one wedding we worked together! Thanks to those pictures we got to book so many other weddings to play at. Sometimes photographers don’t pu to much attention to the musicians, understandably so, however it’s so helpful to all vendors at the wedding to be able to get a little footage to promote the work we do.

Through my documentary approach to photography, I capture authentic visual stories. Since 2014, I've travelled the world documenting not just weddings but diverse cultural events and meaningful moments across continents. I blend into the background while remaining attentive to every genuine emotion and unexpected detail. Whether an intimate ceremony in a historic venue or a celebration against a stunning international backdrop, I craft visual legacies with creativity and heart for clients who embrace what makes them distinctive.

Ben Kelmer Studio was the perfect choice for our wedding photography. From the very first meeting, Ben and his team were open, honest, and warm in their communication, putting us at ease and helping us feel confident in their abilities. Their work is truly professional, showcasing a generous and creative approach that captured all the special moments of our day - even the small details that other photographers might have missed. Ben's keen eye and humanity shone through, both in his interactions with us and in the beautiful, timeless photos he delivered. We were so impressed and cannot recommend Ben Kelmer Studio highly enough!

On most days, you’ll find me at my desk editing galleries while catching up on the best of Bravo shows or any 2000’s rom-com movies with a cup of iced coffee. I’m a huge Buffalo Bills and New York Yankee’s fan, I love trying new brunch spots, and well…I love to talk. If I’m excited or anxious, I’m always rambling on about everything and anything I can.

From the moment we booked Giannav Photography, she was a pleasure to work with. Her communication was always fast and friendly, making the planning process easy and stress-free. On the day of our wedding, Gianna was amazing - she captured every moment beautifully and helped make the whole day fun and enjoyable. The final wedding album she delivered is truly stunning, showcasing her incredible talent as a photographer. Highly recommend Giannav Photography to any couple looking for an amazing wedding photographer!
