With a style that is timeless and not bound to the trends of the moment, I capture each couple in a unique way and I see you for you.

Before I get started: BOOK HIM! I probably spent more time than I should have going through dozens and dozens of photographer’s websites, portfolios, reviews, etc. Photography was my number 1 priority vendor for me, and both my husband and I are so happy with our entire experience with Bryan. From the first email and meeting to the wedding day itself to the photo delivery, working with Bryan was seamless and felt like we were working with a longtime friend! The quality and artistry in Bryan’s work is phenomenal, which was a shared sentiment of our family and friends as well. Magazine worthy shots, and that is coming from a couple who is a bit camera shy! Bryan is truly a gift. I’m so glad we have pictures that capture the day so authentically beautifully, and that we will have them to look back on in the years to come! HIGHLY recommend Bryan Weber Photography

We got married at the Westmount on March 14, 2025 and have been working with them since October 2023. Overall, we had an AMAZING and stress-free experience! The Westmount completely exceeded our expectations. The whole event was spectacular and exactly what we wanted! We worked mainly with Bobby and he was always very friendly and accommodating. Leading up the wedding, he was only a text or phone call away and he was an absolute pleasure to work with. We enjoyed our visits to the Westmount beforehand to sign our contract, select our final menu, and finalize the day-of details. And we were always well fed during our visits! On the day of our wedding, when we arrived to the Westmount early to take photos, everything was already set up perfectly. They went above and beyond to decorate the venue so elegantly. Given the beauty of the venue, our photos and video came out great (and there were many areas to take photos/video). Most importantly, the team was ready to help and cater to our needs. Thanks to the Westmount staff, the whole event ran smoothly and exactly how we envisioned it. Throughout the wedding, they made sure the bride and groom, parents, and bridal party were happy and eating/drinking. After our wedding, we received only positive feedback from our guests. In fact, almost everyone has said our wedding was the best they have ever attended! And our guests have not stopped raving about the delicious food! We would highly recommend the Westmount to anyone getting married!

Awarded Best of Zola
We had the absolute pleasure of working with Daniel for not one, but TWO wedding days. Our wedding plans were a bit…unconventional. When we first got engaged, we decided to elope (just the 2 of us) to Ireland. However, due to logistics, we decided it would be best to sign all the legal paperwork before we departed. We also really wanted an opportunity to celebrate with our families and friends upon our return with a larger-scale party–and we wanted both days to be documented with beautiful photos that captured the different vibes of each event. Enter Daniel! We discussed our ideas with Daniel during our first consultation, and he was more than willing to make our vision a reality. He created a custom package to incorporate both days, and was excited to capture two very different events for us. In the months of planning that followed, we were beyond appreciative of his patience, understanding, and flexibility as we navigated the various concepts for what both unconventional wedding days would look like. Before we get to any of that though, we have to talk about our engagement photo shoot. As big fans of professional wrestling, we wanted to somehow incorporate that into the photos. So we contacted Warriors of Wrestling, a local promotion here on Staten Island, and they agreed to let us use their ring for the shoot! This was a first for Daniel, and he was thrilled to have the opportunity to do something different. He made us look like real superstars that day, and the images he captured are some of our all time favorites. A few weeks prior to our “first” wedding day in June of ‘23, Daniel met with us at our home to get an idea of the layout and review the timeline. We then went to Fort Wadsworth park, where the post-ceremony photos would be taken, and scouted out the best locations for photos. By the time the actual day arrived, everything was perfectly planned out, and Daniel’s amazing photos really captured the intimate nature of our living room ceremony with 10 family members looking on. We capped the night off with a trip to Duffy’s Tavern – a local Irish bar – where we got some great photos of us enjoying huge burgers and pints of Guinness! Daniel was by our side the whole time, and he helped make the day so special. Fast forward a few months and it was finally the day of our reception! Our family, friends, and co-workers all gathered at the Nassau Inn in Princeton NJ to celebrate us. Right in the middle of it all, of course, was Daniel, capturing moments in time that we will cherish forever. His photography truly is art, and you can see his passion for this through his lens. The photos that stand out the most from our reception are the shots on the dance floor. We feel that one place Daniel’s talent shines brightest is his ability to tell an entire story in one click of the shutter–and the photos of ourselves and our loved ones having a blast truly encapsulate the feelings we had in those moments. Through it all, we feel Daniel became an honorary family member thanks to his enthusiasm and genuine investment in telling our love story. Our photos are EVERYTHING we were hoping for and more. We cannot recommend Daniel enough.

I can’t say it enough that The Rockleigh should be at the top of everyone’s venue list. They were our 2nd of 3rd venues we were touring and we never went to our 3rd venue tour. My words simply can’t portray how magical a wedding at The Rockleigh will feel. As soon as you walk in we were hit with a “wow” feeling. The venue is simply beautiful and left us and all our guests in awe. On top of a classy and beautiful venue, the service the staff provided is truly unforgettable. They will be at your side the entire day making sure you don’t have to lift a finger and ensure that your day goes as exactly as planned (and might I say better than you planned it to go). The food was also the most flavorful dishes I have ever had the privilege of enjoying. I hope this review helps other couples decide that The Rockleigh should be where they have their wedding. I could not have asked for a more perfect day and that was simply thanks to the amazing staff and service The Rockleigh provides. Please trust me when I say you will not ever be disappointed while in the care of the incredible people over at The Rockleigh.

Featuring a working mill, blacksmith shop, active church, and several beautiful historic houses, Waterloo Village is a time capsule surrounded by an air of tranquil beauty. With its rich history, Waterloo Village is the perfect setting for weddings. Boasting two spectacular indoor event spaces—the newly-renovated meeting house and the rustic pavilion—in addition to its spacious outdoor compound, Waterloo has the resources and ambiance to make your special occasion a memorable success. As a remarkably well-preserved example of a 19th-Century canal town and the site of a 400-year-old Lenape Indian village, Waterloo Village is an incredibly valuable piece of New Jersey history. Waterloo is open to the public as part of Allamuchy Mountain State Park and home to many events and educational programs to teach and inform visitors about the past. When you choose Waterloo Village as the setting for your event, a portion of proceeds will go towards the preservation and restoration of the site.

Waterloo Village is a truly magical venue, and we couldn’t be happier with our experience there. We first visited for a wedding and were immediately captivated by the rustic charm and historic atmosphere. After seeing how seamlessly everything ran that day, we knew it was the perfect place for our own wedding. The staff at Waterloo Village is outstanding—extremely friendly, helpful, and refreshingly low-pressure. They genuinely focus on making your day special without pushing you to spend beyond your budget. Their professionalism and warmth made the planning process enjoyable and stress-free. One of the highlights is their catering partner, JAM. Their commitment to farm-to-table dining is evident in every dish. Many of the ingredients are sourced fresh, some even from their urban garden, which adds a special touch. The food is not only fresh but absolutely delicious. If you’re looking for a beautiful venue with incredible staff and top-notch food, Waterloo Village is a fantastic choice!

Crystal Plaza 

5.0

Livingston, NJ
  • Venue
  • Up to 350 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $40,000

Before it became our beloved event venue, the historic Crystal Plaza was originally a residential mansion. The initial Livingston, New Jersey-based residence was built in the late 1800s by famed architect Stanford White, who was responsible for designing the Tiffany building on Fifth Avenue, the original Madison Square Garden complex among other landmark structures. While the restored building has since been reincarnated as one of the leading wedding and event spaces in the tri-state area, it still maintains the feeling of its 19th century grandeur. Our impeccable, white-glove service begins the moment you arrive. Crystal Plaza hosts only one event at a time, ensuring that our dedicated team focuses singularly on you and your every need. From the elegant Grand Ballroom boasting numerous chandeliers (how the Crystal Plaza name came to be) to the lush gardens that change beautifully with the seasons, there are myriad backdrops to complement your wedding, social affair or corporate event.

Why you'll love this venue

  • Allows pets
  • Combines timeless elegance with history
  • Provides setup and cleanup

  • On-site parking not available
  • No on-site guest accommodations

We shoot a few weddings a year at Crystal Plaza and it's a pleasure to work with everyone there. The space is beautiful and well-maintained. Our couples couldn't be happier with their special day celebrated at Crystal Plaza & the photos they receive after.

We had the best day of our lives at the Madison Hotel! We actually found them through Zola, having never heard of them before. When we toured, we fell in love with the Conservatory, which is ultimately where we had our ceremony and reception. The day was amazing - the food was delicious (and there was so much of it!), the hotel was beautiful, and it was convenient having our guests onsite for all activities (like our after party). I only deducted one star due to communication; I felt like most of the communication was driven by us, such as scheduling our final venue walkthrough. Everyone was very helpful, but I would have liked a bit more communication as a type A planner. Other than that, we couldn’t have asked for a better celebration of our love.
