Krutick Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (22 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,500
  • Serves Ridgewood, NJ

Hi, I’m Richard, a wedding photographer based in the Hudson Valley. My passion is finding the beauty in the simplest moments and capturing them in a way that feels raw, real, and full of life. As a candid, photojournalist photographer, I’m all about ditching stiff poses to focus on the relationships, the laughs, and the genuine emotions that tell your distinct story. I aim to capture the little details and authentic moments that make your day uniquely yours.

Awarded Best of Zola
Richard Krutick is special. A special talent as well as a special man. He captured it! The day after our wedding he sent me a teaser gallery of what was to come. I was blown away. When planning my wedding the photographer was the most critical to me -I was picky. When I saw his work he turned my entire way of looking at my wedding around. Richard and I had over an hour-long conversation and we clicked. I, having a creative director background and working with photographers all my career, was thrilled because we spoke the same language. I wanted honest, documentary-style moments captured without noticing the presence of the photographer. He was there when you needed him and you liked him. My guests were saying what a warm and great guy he is. He got their personalities, each and every one of them. He looks at everything with a special eye. Right at the time of my outdoor wedding with the most beautiful view and lush floral arbor, it poured and didn't stop. Gravel walkways turning into mud, no bride or groom wants to see. He just grabbed the moments and ran with them. Pivoting, he captured the most creative and editorial images I could ever dream of. He took the storm and made it beautiful. I hope I will have another event, moment, fun-filled party, or cherished time that he can again capture so we can work with him again.

We booked The Pros Weddings for both our photographer and DJ, and it was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Their communication was straightforward and easy to follow, which made the planning process stress-free. Our photographer captured every moment beautifully, from the ceremony to the dancing at the end of the night. The DJ we chose was so fun and kept our guests entertained the whole time. Both vendors were professional and genuinely nice people to work with on the day. The bundle option gave us excellent value, and we'd absolutely recommend The Pros Weddings to any couple looking for reliable vendors.

More than anything it's the chemistry. At Ambassador Video and Photography our team understands your dreams and vision and we strive to make you feel comfortable, unhurried and relaxed. We want your wedding to be the focal point. Although we are there to document your once-in-a-lifetime event, we are not "on location" at a movie set! We want you, your families, and guests to enjoy your wedding day experience.

We absolutely love Lawrence! He did an amazing job with our wedding photos! My sister used him for her wedding back in 2021 and he did a phenomenal job then as well, so we decided to use him as well. We also did our engagement photos with Lawrence and he did a fantastic job with those too. Lawrence was so nice, kind, and patient with my big family and bridal party as well! We got a ton of photos that will last a lifetime! We also got our photos back extremely quickly, which we definitely appreciated! I would recommend Lawrence and Ambassador Video and Photography to anyone - he truly was PHENOMENAL! He made our big day even more special!

He believes that encouraging a lighthearted atmosphere during your photoshoot is the best way to capture all of those natural and romantic moments. This photographer covers the New Jersey and New York tri-state areas.

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.

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. ️

Dawnpoint Studios

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $7,000
  • Serves Ridgewood, 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.

  • Serves Ridgewood, NJ

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 don’t even know where to begin to describe just how amazing Jia is as not only a photographer but a videographer as well. I had initially found him through my best friend Sam, who he had done BOTH photo and video for, and I was blown away by his amazing work. He was kind enough to do the videography for my wedding and I am so grateful that he did. Not only does he do amazing work, but he is professional, kind, pays attention to every detail, and he ended up being the life of the party at the wedding. All of my guests adored him, and he made everyone feel so comfortable. When my husband and I received our video, we were both in tears. You can really tell how much time and effort Jia put into it. If you are in search of a photographer or videographer do not hesitate to book Jia from Frame Your Love Photography.

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!

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!

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!

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.

Ben Kelmer Studio

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,900
  • Serves Ridgewood, NJ

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!

My name is Christopher Kayfield. I’m a professional photographer working in the NYC and Philadelphia areas. I focus on personality, humor, and sincerity. A visual storybook, capturing moments that you're there, and the moments you miss!

Chris is, simply put - the best. From our first meeting it was clear he understood exactly what we were looking for, which allowed us to go into our wedding day with full confidence and peace of mind. He came prepared that day for every possible contingency and even kept tabs with the MOH and Best Man to make sure everything was running on time, all while keeping a positive, calm, and upbeat demeanor. NOT TO MENTION he was able to capture such amazing and special moments throughout the day and evening — even when it meant wrangling some of our more rowdy guests to get the perfect shot. We could not be happier with how the photos turned out. The hardest part now is picking out our favorites to print and share because there are so many incredible photos. Could not recommend Chris highly enough — 10/10!

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.

Giannav Photography - Documentary Wedding Photographer 
Rating: 5.0 (7 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,850
  • Serves Ridgewood, NJ

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.

Gianna is the most genuine and passionate photographer I’ve worked with! She is absolutely committed to delivering your vision from the moment you first speak to her. Gianna’s fantastic at making you feel comfortable in front of the camera, capturing real moments full of personality and emotion. I’ve had the pleasure of working with her multiple times and she always goes above and beyond. She’s the best couples photographer out there!

Masters of Visual was the perfect choice for our wedding photography. From the start, their communication was quick, and they were always on top of things, responding to our emails right away. Their level of professionalism and experience was evident throughout the process - they walked us through every step leading up to the big day, ensuring we were fully prepared. Always smiling and polite. On the wedding day, we hardly noticed them, but they captured every moment beautifully, delivering photos that belong into magazines. Seriously. The quality of their work is simply unmatched for the price. We honestly couldn't be happier.
