Digital Memories Event Videography 

5.0

Oakland, NJ
  • Videographer
  • Documentary style
  • Starts at $1,795

Films are my life. Everything I do is seen through the lens of a camera. It's my life and love, and I strive to create the most cinematic films I can. I have been working full-time in the event industry since I graduated from film school in 2000, and I have captured well over a 1000 events. My job as a cinematographer is to create a cinematic film of your day that is both natural and magical. When I'm working, I prefer to be as discrete as possible, therefore I don't like to do too much staging of shots. I like the more natural films and that is what I strive for with every job I take on.

I loved working with Chris! He was really friendly and helped make the entire process really easy. He was always quick to respond to my emails and he always kept in contact with us as the wedding got closer. His work speaks for itself and we were more than happy with our videos!

Oakland, NJ
  • Photographer
  • Editorial style

Love stories demand exceptional images. We deliver. Wedding photography requires an interesting set of skills. You need the eye of an artist, reflexes of a sports shooter, and the people skills of a therapist. You need to disappear at times, ninja-like, and reappear larger than life to marshal the attention of 50 alcohol-fueled people for a big family portrait! You need stamina, incredible organizational skills, and the best camera gear money can buy. Most importantly, you need to have a big love for what you do. We are those guys! Let us exceed your expectations!! Love, Tom

Awarded Best of Zola
Thanks to Jersey Photography I was able to get all of the breathtaking pictures without being constantly pulled to take pictures. My husband and I were able to flawless pictures while still being able to Dance and enjoy our time. Tom was actually early to our wedding, very responsive throughout, and gave us 100 images to preview 24 hours after our wedding. I can't recommend jersey photography enough ! In fact, when my husband's brother (my brother in law) got married he also booked jersey photography! You definitely wouldn't regret working with jersey photography. And just for reference my wedding was 7.3.2022.

As someone who suffers from eczema and sensitive skin, looking through make up artists was nerve racking. However, when I found Glam Beauty and saw the amazing jobs that they can do, I immediately contacted them. Communication was nothing short of fantastic, all of my concerns were answered. When it came to the wedding day, the Glam beauty team was remarkable. They worked so fast and were so much fun and conversational. They even allowed the bridal party to have that small break between photos and getting dressed because they were so efficient. The makeup stayed ALL DAY, and did not smudge one bit! Despite the happy tears. Our hair was in place perfectly and did not move! And none of us had one outbreak and our skin is still as smooth as can be! Cannot be more grateful for Glam Beauty!

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 so wonderful to work with. He was generous with his time, taking our ideas and bringing in his own, and shooting both engagement and wedding photos that truly exceeded our expectations. He and his team are kind, genuine people who are easy to communicate with and who we loved spending our wedding day with. We are so, so grateful and recommend Hyde Photography to anyone! We can’t wait to show our kids these photos someday. ️

From the initial phone conversation, she made sure to listen to what we wanted and came back with recommendations that really brought it to life. She ensured that we stayed within the budget parameters we set by providing various options of things we could do but, making sure everything was still of the highest quality. She even worked with our schedule to come meet us at the venue with samples to finalize all the details. A few days before the wedding we ran into a small issue around the Chuppah structure we chose and she made sure to call us right away to explain the situation, and came up with alternative solutions that did not require any additional charge.

MMUAV Pro is INCREDIBLE. Having never had professional services done before, I had so many concerns: my eczema-prone skin, if my hair would stay volumized, if there was experience with a wide-range of complexions and hair textures for my bridal party, etc. etc. etc. The list went on. For myself, Norma DID HER THING with the makeup! No flare ups or skin irritations all day. The natural glam was spot on with what I was envisioning. Linda was AMAZING with my hair! Everything came out perfect and the curls sat so beautifully on my collar bone. The airbrush was super light and didn't irritate my eczema-prone skin at all. For my family and bridesmaids who had services done, they were all so happy with their hair and makeup! Norma, Linda, Omayra, and Chantelle were so wonderful. They knew how to work with everyone's skin type, facial structure, and hair texture. Everything held up so well. From inquiring to the trial and wedding day, MMUAV Pro was always kindly available. I couldn't have imagined anyone else doing hair & makeup for the wedding. They made my vision come to life. Everyone was so professional, calm, fun, and just overall had a great attitude from start to finish. This day was so special for all of us. So grateful for Vicky and Linda for taking the time to listen to all my thoughts, questions, and concerns throughout the way. Thank you isn't enough, and I hope this review helps so many others with similar concerns I had. THANK YOU MMUAV PRO!!!

Awarded Best of Zola
Working with Angie was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. My husband, mom, and I often talked about how incredible she was and how we couldn’t believe we thought we could plan the wedding without her! We started planning on our own for the first year and then brought Angie on for the final three months—it was completely worth the investment (in hindsight, I wish we had hired her sooner). Angie is beyond generous with her time. Our weekly meetings, scheduled for an hour, often extended to two, and not once did she make us feel rushed. Her entire approach is so thoughtful—she took the time to really get to know us and our families, and she truly understood our vibe. Then, she took everything to the next level, suggesting creative touches we’d never have thought of, like turning our seating chart into a map of NYC with table names for different neighborhoods! One of the biggest reliefs was having Angie coordinate directly with all of our vendors. She worked with everyone—our venue (Tavern on the Green), rehearsal dinner and brunch venues, hotel, hair and makeup teams, band, photographer, and baker—meaning we didn’t have to manage any of that ourselves. She even managed our payment schedule, which was such a huge help. Angie was always full of great ideas, and she didn’t just come up with them—she would go ahead and make them happen! From printing all of our signage to supplying candles, photo frames, and even ring boxes, she has everything you need. Her calm, empathetic nature and fantastic listening skills made the entire experience enjoyable and stress-free. Honestly, we were so sad when the wedding ended because it meant no more weekly calls with Angie! If you’re even considering working with her, I cannot recommend her enough—she is a true gem!

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.

We couldn’t have been more thrilled with the music for our reception and cocktail hour! We went with The Gramercy, a DJ/band combo, and they were absolutely amazing. From start to finish, they kept the energy up and made sure the music was exactly what we wanted. They were incredibly interactive with our guests, which really added to the fun. It wasn’t just background music—it was a key part of the celebration, and everyone felt engaged. They played every song we requested perfectly and seamlessly filled in with other tracks that hit the mood exactly right. The vibe was always on point, and we had guests commenting that it was the best wedding music they had ever experienced. Beyond their talent, they were also so easy to work with. The whole process was super streamlined, from submitting song requests and details through their app to coordinating with the venue. They were professional, responsive, and just an absolute joy to work with. One highlight was when they played "Shipping up to Boston" and all of the Boston College alumni went crazy on the dance floor! See the pics below, from our amazing photographer Carolina Rivera (who we also recommend!) We had the best time, and the music made the night unforgettable.

We planned a weekend-long wedding at a summer camp. We had no idea how involved this would be. The One15 team not only helped us to brainstorm and research, but also kept us from feeling defeated or overwhelmed. On top of that, they reminded us what really matters at the end of the day. Working with them likely kept the relationships with our friends and family and with each other intact (I know it sounds dramatic but planning a big wedding was very hard and emotional for us). Thanks so much One15 Team!

We were very happy with the band we chose for our wedding. They brought great energy, played a solid mix of music that kept our guests dancing, and added a fun vibe to the night. They were also flexible which i really appreciated. They were willing to work with our unique setup, including performing on a backyard stage we built. Most importantly, they really listened to what we wanted and tailored the music to match the tone we envisioned. Their professionalism and adaptability helped everything go smoothly. We’re really glad we had them as part of our celebration and would definitely recommend them to other couples.

Kristin was a wonderful makeup artist for my wedding day! She was extremely responsive and flexible throughout the planning process, enthusiastically embracing my vision while offering professional guidance. On the big day, Kristin arrived right on time despite traveling a bit of a distance. She did an incredible job enhancing my natural beauty in a formal yet personalized way that made me feel 100% like myself. Using a mix of her professional products and some of my own by request, she paid close attention to detail in crafting a look that was glowing and weather-resistant. My makeup stayed perfect from our ceremony through the final dance! Kristin's artistry shows through her ability to adapt her technique while still maintaining her signature style. I felt beautiful thanks to her talent and thoughtful approach. Her reasonable rates are absolutely worth it for the outstanding experience and breathtaking results!

Zina was so patient and thrived in a new atmosphere when I asked her to shoot my interior design projects. Her patience made it so easy for us to work together and we trusted each others talents and expertise to create her beautiful images. I will definitely be working with her again! If you’re ever doing an in-home shoot, she will nail it.
