Laura was fantastic! She photographed my wedding and I cannot stop singing her praise. The pictures turned out gorgeous and the whole experience was fun and easy. Neither me nor my husband are big fans of getting our pictures taken; but with Laura we quickly fell into a natural and comfortable zone and got pictures that were beautiful beyond my wildest dreams. Everyone who has seen the pictures agrees that she was worth every penny we paid for her services. Thank you, thank, you thank you Laura, for capturing my special day!

At Focus Photo and Film, we specialize in wedding photography and videography that authentically captures the essence of your special day. Our team is dedicated to documenting genuine emotions and candid moments, ensuring that each image and film reflects the unique narrative of your love story. From the intimate exchanges to the grand celebrations, we strive to create timeless visuals that you will cherish forever.

What I loved most is that they didn’t just take photos, they told our story. From the first look to the sparkler sendoff, every picture flows like chapters in a book. The video too it’s edited so beautifully, like a documentary of our love. They caught my mom tearing up while I was putting on my veil, something I didn’t notice at the time. I also love that they included shots of my best friends laughing together during the reception. Nothing felt forced, just real emotions. My husband said he never expected to like pictures of himself but now he can’t stop looking at them. Even our dog, who we included in the ceremony, looks amazing in the photos. I’ll cherish these forever. This was the best decision we made for the wedding.

Eric Coleman

Hello couples! Ive spent a lot of my career working with celebrities and professional athletes all over the world but have always had a connection with the wedding photography world and decided to go full time with that a few years ago! Id be honored to shoot your special day and seek out every moment I can for you, your family and your friends!

I can’t say enough about how incredible our experience was with Eric as our wedding photographer. Located at the Jersey Shore, where most photographers focus on sunny beach weddings, I was looking for something different. Our wedding took place in the fall, full of rich earth tones and a fun, edgy vibe that centered not just on romance, but on the presence of our children. It was important to us that the day felt authentic, emotional, and full of movement. And, just to make it more fun, ours was a Halloween wedding. We had a formal ceremony followed by a costume reception, and Eric embraced every bit of it. He didn’t just roll with our unique requests—he elevated them. He found the perfect location: a hidden gem that was edgy, raw, and exactly what I didn’t even know I was hoping for. The backdrop had this cinematic, timeless feel that makes you wonder “where in the world could they be,” which paired beautifully with our nontraditional theme. Photographing four young kids is no easy task, especially on such a big day. But Eric’s speed, patience, and instincts were unbelievable. He captured fleeting moments—tiny glances, quick smiles, the chaos and joy of our family—without ever losing sight of the romance and connection between me and my husband. Every image tells a story. Every photo feels felt. If you’re looking for a photographer who goes beyond the typical and brings a true artistic eye to your day—especially one that includes children, unconventional details, or an untraditional setting—Eric is your guy. We will treasure these photos forever.

One of the most challenging decisions my husband and I made when wedding planning was choosing a photographer - we are so grateful that we ended up choosing Forever North!

She helped us to stay on schedule on our wedding day (to the point that we were actually AHEAD of schedule, so we had plenty of time to just enjoy the day!). When choosing a photographer it's SO important to choose someone that you feel comfortable with because you will be spending so much time with them - and we are so thankful that we had Tara.

I’m an artist, a husband, a brother, a dear friend, an inquirer of life and a creative soul. I was born and raised in central New Jersey (if such a thing exists) where I still reside. I have a deep appreciation for the nostalgic things in life. Things that have the ability to bring you back to a happy place in your lifetime. I suppose this is why I love what I do so much, why it is so fulfilling. I am creating those nostalgic things for everyone else.

Tim was recommended to us by my cousin who is also a photographer, and we couldn’t be more grateful for her recommendation! Tim was extremely professional, easy to talk to, very receptive to all of our wants/needs, and produced amazing photos!! He worked our wedding alone (our preference), and he still covered every aspect of our special day from the setup, ceremony, reception, and everything in between. We had multiple guests comment on how great he was, and a couple asked for his information for their brother who is getting married next year. You will not be sorry by booking Tim for any event you want beautiful, high quality photography for!

Five Pines Photography

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $3,400
  • Serves Ocean Gate, NJ

As a southern New Jersey wedding and engagement photographer, I specialize in documenting personal moments between you + your loved one while capturing all of the true, raw emotions during our session. Building a genuine, honest connection with you and all of my clients is something I strive for constantly. It's not just about taking pictures, but rather the experience that makes the photos magical. I want to exceed your highest expectations of telling your love story and create something you'll never stop reminiscing on.

After moving into our first home, my boyfriend and I wanted a way to bring our white walls to life. The two of us are usually never caught behind the camera lens, but after this experience I would choose Ashley from Five Pines time and time again to capture life’s most important moments. Ashley puts thought into every detail: from the location to the time of day to ensure the best quality pictures. She is kind and genuine and carries on casual conversation while snapping away to produce the perfect candid and effortless shots. I especially liked how she kept us moving around a majority of the session which at times made me forget we were even getting our picture taken. Ashley is professional, accommodating and timely. She followed up with us multiple times before our session about location and time, ensured she checked the weather and was highly accommodating. Although not initially part of the plan, she allowed us last minute to bring our dog which proved to be tricky in the moment, but she welcomed and worked with him with ease and smile. I also couldn’t believe the quick turn around time from the night we took our pictures to when she edited and sent them out. I can’t thank Ashley enough for capturing one of the most exciting and memory filled years of our relationship. If you are in need of remembering and capturing the moment, Ashley will give you the quality and experience you’re looking for!

A creative team of storytellers capturing joyful love stories and effortless real-life moments. Magdalena Studios captures and preserves authentic stories and moments in an effortless, joyful manner. We believe that every subject deserves an individualized experience and to remember, see, and feel how beautiful they are at that moment in time.

We cannot recommend Magdalena Studios enough! The Magdalena Studios team was so easy to work with prior to our wedding day. We were able to customize our package to be perfect for us, and their reminder emails and blog posts were such an amazing extra perk. All of the staff we spoke to throughout the process were incredibly helpful and kind, which made planning with them stress-free and enjoyable. Kelee and Ashley were absolutely amazing, and our photos completely blew us away. Literally every single one is stunning! Their talent is incredible, and we are honestly speechless every time we look at them. Beyond their artistry, they were such thoughtful and kind people throughout the day. While taking photos in the freezing cold, Ashley even gave me her coat to make sure I stayed warm — moments like that show just how caring they are. During the ceremony and reception, I hardly even noticed them as they blended seamlessly into the day and captured every special moment as it happened. The entire experience with them was so much fun, and I was genuinely sad when it was time for them to leave (I had one of our guests even take a photos of us). I would recommend Kelee and Ashley again and again to anyone looking for photographers who are talented, kind, and a total joy to be around!

The whimsical “running through a field of flowers” aesthetic I was going for, she got it just perfect! I literally look at my photos every single day because I’m so obsessed. All my bridesmaids and family have said these are probably the best wedding photos they have ever seen/ been apart of. We are all in love with every single shot. BOOK ALEXA, just do it!

Hello, my name is Anthony N Resto, the founder of Alpha Omega Studios. I am a multi-media artist with a creative eye for design born in my soul, I crafted this business to utilize my best attributes to fuel my passion to deliver outstanding content for all my clients.

We had the pleasure of working with Anthony Resto, owner, photographer, and videographer of Alpha Omega Studios, for our wedding back in 2010, and again for several milestone events for our daughter, including her senior prom and graduation party in June of 2025. From start to finish, Anthony has been nothing short of exceptional. When we first inquired about his services for our wedding, he impressed us with his creativity, knowledge, and professionalism. He shared his extensive portfolio from various events, offering us inspiration and ideas. One idea we loved was his suggestion to have a black-and-white photoshoot of just the two of us at the Museum of Paterson on Market Street. Anthony meticulously laid out the day and planned different poses, and the photos came out beautifully. We even decided to place a black-and-white picture of us on each table, adding a personal and elegant touch to our wedding décor. On our wedding day in November 2010, Anthony arrived bright and early, full of energy and ready to capture every moment. He was patient, personable, and everywhere at once—capturing moments that we didn’t even see. Our guests loved him as well; he made everyone feel comfortable, creating a relaxed and fun atmosphere. His pricing was reasonable, and he was flexible and accommodating throughout the planning process. Years later, we turned to Anthony again for our daughter’s senior prom. He took the time to meet with her, listen to her vision, and provide thoughtful suggestions. Once again, the photos turned out amazing. We also hired him for her graduation party in June of 2025, and he not only took beautiful photos but also professionally videoed the event. He captured all the joy, excitement, and special moments of the celebration and provided both the pictures and video on a timely manner, creating lasting memories for our family. Anthony is not only a talented photographer and videographer but also a true professional who brings creativity, enthusiasm, and a personal touch to every project. We are grateful to have found him and highly recommend Alpha Omega Studios to anyone looking for someone who truly cares about capturing memories beautifully.
