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.

Gianna has been sharing their many amazing pictures and videos.....love them all!! Your sharp eyes are amazing, coming from Mom, I have to say though, my daughter and her then fiance are very photogenic. But ALSO you captured the MOMENTS of the day, the EMOTIONS of the day, the EVENTS of the day and EVERYTHING in between to perfection. Many take pictures, it takes an eye like no other to bring together the pictures that I have seen from you all. I love every pic, some caught me differently than others and most of those were the ones that were truly "simple" or "out of the box" versus traditional, you got it all!! I hope you enjoyed the day as well. You are all amazing, work great together and we wish you continued expression of excellence and a lifetime of good health and joy.

Storytelling by Tony & Olya

  • Photographer
  • Fine art style
  • Serves Rockaway, NJ

We’ve stood in your shoes, and we know how important it is to capture a story full of meaning and heart. Our goal is to narrate the day as we see it, embracing every emotion and sentiment that unfolds. With over a decade of experience, we’ve told countless stories—sometimes we can predict the moments, and other times they surprise us. But we’re always excited to discover and capture the next amazing story.

Awarded Best of Zola
Working with Tony and Olya was beyond anything we could have imagined. They didn’t just capture our wedding day at Hudson House in Jersey City—they immortalized it in the most stunning, breathtaking way possible. From our first look, with the city as our backdrop, to every intimate, emotional moment, they transformed what was a rainy day into a masterpiece of light, emotion, and beauty. Every shot, every angle was perfect. Before the wedding, I had the chance to meet with Olya, and that made all the difference. She took the time to sit down with us and really listen to what we wanted. We talked through our vision for the day, and Olya helped shape that vision into something even better than we imagined. She also worked with us to create a timeline that kept everything running smoothly without ever feeling rushed. Her professionalism and creativity were exactly what we needed, and it gave me so much confidence going into the big day. Olya was also incredible during the getting ready process. She was so attentive to every little detail—the dress, the shoes, the rings, and all the small, meaningful touches that might have been overlooked. She captured everything beautifully, and her calm, professional presence helped me feel relaxed in the midst of all the excitement. It felt like having a close friend there who just happens to be an extraordinary photographer. During our engagement session in Curaçao, Tony and Olya made us feel like absolute superstars. We weren’t just taking photos—we were living a dream. They even created a short video alongside the session, and it’s something so deeply beautiful that we’ll show it to our children and their children. It was an experience we’ll never forget, and neither will anyone else who sees their work. Their ability to direct us, make us feel comfortable, and anticipate moments is nothing short of magic. Tony and Olya work together with such seamless synergy, always one step ahead, making sure every single detail is captured beautifully. From the very first planning stages to the final shot, they took care of everything—keeping the timeline, offering ideas, and helping us relax, while making every moment an experience to savor. Tony and Olya are worth every single penny. The way they captured the essence of our love, the laughter, the tears, and the joy—it’s priceless. I can’t imagine anyone else I’d trust to capture all of our future milestones, because I know that they’ll always go above and beyond. If you’re looking for photographers who will not just meet your expectations but blow them out of the water, look no further. Tony and Olya’s passion, talent, and energy are unmatched. I am beyond excited to continue working with them for every big moment in our lives. They are truly one of a kind.

I cannot recommend Sophie enough for wedding make up. My wife and I used Sophie as our makeup artist for ourselves, our two moms, and my sister-in-law. Getting your make up done is an intimate process and sets the tone for the entire day and with Sophie there I felt beautiful and comfortable the whole time. We were not able to do a make up trial due to my schedule so she worked with me prior to my wedding day via zoom to make sure she knew exactly what I wanted. She sent me examples and helped me articulate my vision and even tried the looks on herself so that I could see them come to life. On the day of I felt so glam and powerful. My look lasted through performances and lots of dancing and my pictures from the end of the night are still STUNNING with no touch ups required (though she did provide us with the cutest touch up kits) My wife’s style and comfort with make up is much different than mine so she did a make up trial and Sophie helped her to find a look that was “wedding glam” but still felt authentic. Our looks were very different and incredibly “us” and showed off Sophie’s range and talent. Logistically, she is a complete professional with high end products that she organizes for ease of use and hygiene. Though my make up ran much longer than intended, she had anticipated that and so we still finished exactly on time. I never felt rushed or stressed - only like an absolute queen. It was the perfect way to start my wedding day and was worth every single penny.

Tiffany and her team at Hair by Tiffany were a true lifesaver for our wedding day. From the moment I called Tiffany for advice after my fiancée was unhappy with another stylist's work, she was prompt, quick, and a great listener. Tiffany insisted my fiancée come in, and within 2 hours she had fixed the style and given my fiancée the exact look she was going for. Tiffany's efficient, resourceful, and empathetic approach was invaluable, as I would have never heard the end of it if the hair wasn't perfect for our engagement photos the next day. We are so grateful to Tiffany and her team for their incredible attention to detail and commitment to making our special day flawless.

The studio is dedicated to ensuring that couples have beautiful images and films that they can treasure long after their special day.

I would give a million stars if I could. We had the most incredible experience with Anthony Ziccardi Studios as our wedding photographer at Rock Island Lake Club on May 30, 2025. From start to finish, they were everything we could have hoped for and more! We knew we wanted this photographer before we even knew what venue we would book! From the first interaction in the office, they were professional, personable, and genuinely caring. By sheer fate, we had Anthony shoot our engagement photo shoot. He took the time to understand our vision, and more importantly our personalities. Before we even got home from the shoot, we had emailed and requested he be the photographer for our wedding day (although truthfully we would have been happy with anyone on his incredible staff). On the big day, he and Karina blended seamlessly into the celebration, capturing every laugh, every tear, and every beautiful detail with such an artistic eye. They are so knowledgeable about the work and the photos that would be bested, and we trusted them endlessly! Anthony and Karina made us feel so comfortable and confident, even in the most emotional and high-energy moments. They were never intrusive but always right there when it counted, capturing magic without us even realizing it. The photos? Absolutely breathtaking. Every image radiates emotion and tells the story of our day so perfectly. We couldn’t stop smiling (and tearing up) as we looked through them. They delivered not just pictures, but memories frozen in time...and as I write this I've only seen a handful. We cannot wait to receive the rest! We truly couldn’t imagine having had anyone else by our side for this once-in-a-lifetime moment. Anthony Ziccardi was more than just a vendor—he is now a friend and truly felt like family. If you're lucky enough to book them for your wedding, do it. It was hands down one of the best decisions we made for our special day. Thank you, thank you, thank you for being such a meaningful part of our celebration!

Our formal portraits feel modern, not stuffy and the dance floor candids put us right back in the moment. It was such a pleasure to have him with us capturing all our moments, big and small. Thank you Chris - so glad we found you!

Felipe, and his team. I reached out to him about a year before the wedding. Felipe immediately scheduled a zoom call, walked me through the process, and upon talking to him I knew immediately that he is truly a visionary. Felipe talked to me about what I wanted, made me feel super comfortable, and was also extremely responsive. On the day of the wedding, while many things were going wrong, he not only was the videographer but was also there to calm me, talk to me, and continuously assured me that everything would be perfect in the video. His team was amazing to work with. I got a sneak peek, preview and then the full video so quick I could not believe it. The quality of the videography, the editing, and sound was excellent. By far one of the best choices I made when it came to my wedding was hiring F-records and their team for the videography. Oh did I mention that he also held the umbrella for me, walked me to car, helped me with my dress, and made sure to just be amazing! Felipe definitely went above and beyond for me! I could not be more glad to have hired F-records.

David's Country Inn was the perfect venue for our wedding day. From the moment we first reached out, their communication style was quick, professional, and direct, making the planning process smooth and organized. The venue itself had a unique, vintage charm that created a warm and welcoming atmosphere for our guests. The staff went above and beyond, even tying my shoes before the ceremony, and always seemed to be one step ahead, ensuring we felt like royalty and completely stress-free throughout the entire day.

Working with Tanvi was an amazing experience, I cannot recommend her enough for your henna needs! We had a multicultural fusion wedding, so I did not really know what to expect throughout the henna process but Tanvi made the whole process simple and easy, great communication, and delivered AMAZING work. Even on our honeymoon, people could not stop complimenting the beautiful designs.

Hi, I’m Andrea! a Latina wedding film photographer based in NJ/NYC. With 7 years in portrait photography and 2 years dedicated to weddings, I’m passionate about capturing love stories. Weddings inspire me as they are unique moments where communities unite in pure joy and love. Being part of the LGBTQI+ community, I ensure my space is safe and welcoming for all marriers. When not behind the camera, I love traveling back home, crocheting, taking care of my chosen family, and creating in my photo lab! Each moment I capture is a testament to my love for love.

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.

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?

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! Ben even gave us a few preview physical prints during our reception which was such a beautiful touch! Can’t recommend Ben enough!
