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
Djaniella was AMAZING!! We booked her for our wedding which was 8/23/25. The package we chose included an engagement shoot, which was wonderful because we got to meet her ahead of time and make sure that we meshed well together, which of course we did because she’s just so wonderful, and those pictures blew us away already. She is so talented and so sweet. My husband and I had warned her we aren’t center of attention or photogenic people but she made sure to capture every moment and she did it so subtly that we didn’t feel like we were being swarmed by a paparazzi. She got along with our coordinator beautifully, and I actually think she enjoyed our wedding which was such an amazing feeling for us that even our vendors had a good time, even though they were working. I will be hiring her again and again and again, for all of life’s photo worthy moments. She also sent us a few photos the day after the wedding just to ensure we had something tangible before she got to edit the rest and they are beautiful. Thank you Djaniella, from the bottom of our hearts for giving us memories that will last a lifetime.

Awarded Best of Zola
We had such an easy time working with Enchanted Celebrations staff that I would jump at choosing them again! Blair and Summer were professional, thorough, empathetic and communicated very clearly all the different features of the videography plans so that we felt like we chose the right plan for our wedding day. As time came closer, Summer was diligent at working with us on the details for the day-of, and then a few days before the wedding we confirmed everything with Edwin, our assigned videographer. Edwin’s style was spot-on with what we imagined and the videos came out beautiful and so much quicker than we expected them. We’re delighted with our experience!

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
We’re so glad we chose Jason. We can’t believe how beautiful our photos are. We’re both pretty awkward people and we always look silly in photos. He was so fun and encouraging. He captured every moment beautifully. We’ve never looked so graceful in our lives. We had our wedding at a campground and he arrived early and worked with us to get pictures of our friends and families in that casual setting in our casual clothes. In these pictures and in the photos of our wedding, he made beautiful use of the scenery. He got to know us as a couple and really understood our vision. He gave detailed directions but the photos still look organic and spontaneous. He was also so kind and accessible through the whole process. We didn’t have a planner and he helped us figure out our wedding itinerary even though that was definitely not his job. He has a ton of wedding experience and it shows.

Awarded Best of Zola
We cannot say enough great things about Nicholas Yee and his incredible team! Literally from the very beginning, he demonstrated unparalleled professionalism - answering all of our emails super quickly, and taking the time to ensure every detail was covered. He worked with us to create a personalized timeline that made our day run SEAMLESSLY. Most of our vendors worked off his timeline. This allowed us to focus on the joy of the moment without worrying about logistics. He’s also just a great person overall - we felt like we were talking to an old friend. :) What truly sets Nicholas Yee apart is his eye for capturing not only the big, emotional moments but also the quiet, loving exchanges and the spontaneous moments of levity that made our wedding day uniquely ours. We were blown away by the pictures and the moments he captured. We can only really describe the pictures as breathtakingly “cinematic.” 10/10!!! On top of his artistry, his organizational skills were impeccable. He efficiently coordinated all of the family and wedding party photos with incredible time management, ensuring everything was done quickly and beautifully. He budgeted extra time in the timeline for delays which was most appreciated! This allowed us to maximize time with our guests and enjoy the celebration while still getting every shot we had hoped for—and then some! If you are looking for a photographer who is professional, organized, funny, and, above all, an artist who can tell the story of your day with authenticity and heart, then book Nicholas Yee and his team. Seriously!!! Thank you for making our wedding memories so perfect, Nick :)

Hyde Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (45 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $5,000
  • 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.

Awarded Best of Zola
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.

Awarded Best of Zola
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. We're so grateful to have had someone who truly respected the vibe of our day and captured it so beautifully. Thank you again for being part of it — we’ll treasure these memories forever.

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
Angelica is an absolutely wonderful photographer and woman. She made me, the bride, feel beautiful on my wedding day and she kept me feeling calm by gently directing and keeping the pace of what we asked her to photograph. All the photos turned out better than we could have ever dreamed and we are so grateful for her talent and hard work.

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. We can’t recommend him enough for your special day!

She is southern charm with a touch of New York grit; a hometown photographer with big city savvy - the perfect combination for an exceptional photographer.

Awarded Best of Zola
Kim at Craven and Co. did far more than take unbelievable photos of our wedding day (though I'll get to that as well). I had no idea that a photographer could do so much to add to the energy of our overall experience. She caught the most touching details that I would have never thought to mention--from getting ready to the final moments walking away from our after party--as well as managed the group photo portion of the day brilliantly. Most importantly, Kim is wonderful at making everyone feel at ease so she can capture the true energy of the wedding. She knows weddings inside and out and knows how to be at the right place at the right time. Logistically, she was quick, easy to contact, and amazing at compiling images that told the full story of the experience. I still have people asking me who our photographer was and we have many of the photos framed in our home. I would recommend Craven and Co. to any couple!

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.

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!

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.

We hired Stan for our Boston City Hall wedding photo shoot. The ceremony was supposed to be quick and we wanted a photographer who knew how to work the area and if not could figure out ways to capture the short moments as much and as best as possible. Stan was very quick to respond when we engaged. While it seems like he has few engagements, we looked past it because his portfolio showed great composition, mood, and lighting skills. We were not disappointed. Stan is quite creative and finds ways to work with the subjects and the surroundings. He was punctual, did his research of the area, and showed up 30 minutes before we did to scope the area for the day. During the photo shoots, he was very active in directing us to the best angles and also engaging with us to see if we had ideas. Often running ahead and moving from angle to angle, you could tell he was dedicated to producing good work. Stan had some locations picked up including some he thought would be an interesting shot to experiment with and it all turned out great. We would have spent the whole day taking pictures with him but unfortunately, had dinner plans right after the wedding. We enjoyed the photo shoot and working with Stan and couldn't recommend him enough. He is probably one of the best on the platform! Attached are some examples of the work that he produced.

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. '•.¸♡ ♡¸.•'

Andrea is truly a dream to work with! Besides being super talented and having a knack for capturing the energy of the moment, she genuinely is a wonderful person! She makes you feel calm and reminds you to focus on the importance of being in the moment. As a person who does not enjoy photos of myself, she made me feel relaxed and happy on my wedding day. Her style is literally like out of Pinterest board and feels so genuine to the moment. She gives incite into the details of your wedding day and helps you make the best choices for capturing your day. My husband and I could not recommend her enough. We truly feel we gained a friend in this process and if and when we ever need photos again we will use her services without a second thought!
