Sincerely Dj Photography

  • Photojournalistic style

  • Serves Washington, NJ

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!”

“From our first call with F&H we have never doubted for a moment that we were making the right decision. Jen and Steve are true professionals,  they are informative, focused and phenomenal at what they do. Their creativity and eye truly wowed us, always catching the light and making every backdrop look absolutely magical. They were able to give gentle guidance to ensure that we looked our best in such important photos. They were able to put us at such ease, to the point where we forgot they were there and we got to just enjoy our moment together. Our photos turned out amazing and we had such variety to choose from.  Best of all, they provided us with a day of schedule that really helped us set expectations. Making sure all staged photos were done prior to ceremony, allowed us time to really breathe and soak in the day! We appreciate everything they did to make our day perfect and they truly captured the love and happiness of the day!  Highly recommend!!”

Hyde Photography

  • Serves Washington, NJ

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).

“Hyde is incredible and was our favorite vendor that we worked with. Seth was easy to talk to and was so receptive to what we were envisioning for the day. We wanted equal parts posed photos and candid moments of the day. He did an unbelievable job of doing just that. With all the stress of the day, I really did not feel like myself in front of the camera. I remember feeling like I was not going to look great in the photos. But Seth did such a wonderful job of giving direction without making you feel too awkward or posed, and the photos turned out better than I could have ever imagined. I want to throw another event just so I can have Hyde take photos again!”

“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.”

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.”

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!

Awarded Best of Zola
“When we started planning our May 2026 wedding, we were not particularly excited about the photography aspect of the day. Posing for hundreds of tacky staged shots seemed an inevitable hurdle (especially as a very camera-awkward couple)...until we saw Christopher's portfolio. We reached out immediately when we saw what our wedding photos COULD be. While, naturally, plenty of formal shots were taken, they were quick and painless. What truly stood out was his ability to catch the right shot at the right time, capturing not only beautiful, thoughtful compositions, but also the true feel of the day, from morning prep to last dance. Upon receipt of the photos, we laughed...we cried...we "awww"d... Viewing them felt like reading a narrative, allowing us to relive our favorite day. Aside from his unparalleled expertise with a camera and editing, Christopher is also just a really, really cool guy. He answered our multitude of silly, repetitive questions, but more than that, we truly loved being able to chat and get to know him. His cool, calm presence chilled out the hectic morning of getting ready, and he was organized and professional throughout the planning process. His assistant, Kyle, was also absolutely wonderful! Go Kayfield or go home!!!”

“We truly cannot recommend Jia enough! He first photographed our engagement session in NYC and then, a year later, captured our wedding day. Having him there for both of these huge milestones made the experience even more special. From the very beginning, Jia was incredibly communicative, flexible, creative, and so easy to work with. What stood out to us most was how much time and thought he put into making our photos feel personal to us. He took the time to get to know us, understand what we envisioned, and incorporate little details and ideas that made our photos feel unique to our relationship rather than staged or generic. We absolutely LOVE Jia’s work and our photos. He has such a talent for capturing not only the big moments, but all of the little candid moments and details that made these days so special. Our photos genuinely feel like us, and looking through them brings us right back to those moments. We are so grateful Jia was there to capture both our engagement and our wedding. We couldn’t be happier with our experience or our photos and would recommend him without hesitation to anyone looking for a talented, thoughtful, creative, and genuinely wonderful photographer!”

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.”

“From initial meeting to getting our highlights in under a week, working with Bryan was a dream. Right off the bat, he understood we weren't very touchy/PDA couple and were definitely not used to having a camera in our face. We had Bryan join for our rehearsal dinner to get some family photos and give us a chance to get comfortable, and right away he did just that. Taking photos didn't feel like taking photos with Bryan. It was a private moment we had away from the chaos of a wedding day. On our wedding day, Bryan and Kyle arrived on-time and ready to go for our first looks. Bryan has an amazing eye for finding the perfect shots, whether that was avoiding some rain puddles on the ground, or less-than photo worthy NYC city streets, he truly made us the focus of every shot. Throughout the night not only were they capturing all the sweet sentimental moments of our first hours as a married couple, but Kyle was on the dance floor getting shots of everyone which I know we will cherish forever. All our guests enjoyed taking photos with Byran and Kyle and emphasized their enthusiasm and good vibes all day long! Even non-wedding guests have been complimenting our photos, and admiring the true beauty of our celebration.”

“I’ve had the pleasure of working with Zina at many events through WEDVIBE, and I can honestly say she is amazing. She is incredibly professional, attentive to every detail, and knows exactly how to capture the beauty and atmosphere of an event. We often work together at private events for high-net-worth and ultra-high-net-worth clients, where discretion, efficiency, and respect for people’s time are extremely important. Zina has exceptional people skills and an incredible ability to connect with clients naturally. She knows how to read the room, communicate with ease, and make people feel comfortable without ever being intrusive. Everything feels effortless, while behind the scenes she keeps the photography organized and running smoothly. Whenever I arrive at a venue and see Zina there, I already know I’m going to get amazing photos. Every single time. She has such a great eye for detail, knows all the right angles, and somehow manages to capture everything without disrupting the flow of the event. Her editing is another one of her strengths, and she delivers galleries much faster than most photographers I’ve worked with, which is such a huge plus. I absolutely love working with her and would highly recommend Zina to anyone looking for a wedding or special event photographer.

“This review is a mix of both happy and a little disheartened. Our Photographer had such an amazing personality. He kept us on our toes. He kept us laughing, leading up to the big moment however, looking back on photos that were being taken in the bridal suite I feel like there’s a lot of mess in the background of them which I don’t blame the Photographer at all that is our fault and those photos did come out beautiful. Our reception photos came out beautiful, but what leaves us this heart in a little bit is our bridal party photos and alter photos. We were hoping to have close pictures of the altar and we didn’t. They’re just kind of dark looking. Which again I understand lighting in a venue I was just hoping for more of an edit, but the biggest one are the Bridal party photos. A lot of our girls look white washed, as if there was little no editing done to it. There was trash or mess in the background that as a photographer I would hope it would’ve been picked up on so we could’ve moved stuff out of the way. I received one photo back with our entire bridal party, which I was excited for to find out half of their faces are blurry and some people were cut out so I can’t share that photo. The rest of the pictures have shadows in them exit signs that could’ve been cropped out not centered properly. I know the day is a lot because there’s things I forgot for example, we never got a full family photo. My husband doesn’t have any with his siblings and parents same with me and my siblings and parents and with our siblings and parents altogether with us on both sides, which should’ve been something I thought of myself, but I know it was talked about prior. I loved our reception photos. I do wish there was a little more of our parents and us but the reception photos came out beautiful and amazing. I’m just a little disheartened with the private bridal party photos. However it’s an easy fix because my maid of honor is a Photographer and my bridal party is gonna. Dress back up and do their hair and make up the way it was that day and we’re gonna redo our photos. Overall though David was amazing to work with the communication was perfect. The payment plan was amazing. I remember one time having to pay him a little late and there was no issue at all. He actually gave me extra time and told me to wait until after the holidays. And I will forever be appreciative for that I would still hire David for other events. Attached are photos we did like and some that we didn’t - the one with our bridal party missing included”

“Working with Ana at Soul Motion was a game-changer for the couples I collaborated with on their big day. Her communication is refreshingly straightforward and friendly, she genuinely cares about delivering the best results, which shows in how she jumps in to help with everything from day-of planning to zipping up dresses and keeping timelines on track. The editorial style she brings is distinctly different from typical wedding photography, capturing candid moments that feel authentic and editorial-quality without breaking the bank. Ana's easygoing approach puts everyone at ease, and her talent behind the lens is undeniable. I'd recommend Soul Motion to any couple looking for photography that's both artistic and accessible.”

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!

“My husband and I are not really into having our picture taken, so we were pretty nervous about our wedding day. That being said, Michelle did a great job putting us at ease and capturing us in a way that was natural and didn’t make us feel uncomfortable. The pictures came out outstanding- better than we could have ever imagined! We had no plans to order a photo album, but I gave in and could not be more happy with how it turned out! We are incredibly pleased and grateful for the work Michelle put in. We would highly recommend her as a wedding photographer!”

“David was exactly what we were hoping for in a photographer and I couldn’t have asked for someone better to capture our perfect day. From our first phone call to getting our photos, David has been there for us and going above and beyond to help us and make sure our planning was going okay and just life in general. We were looking for a creative photographer to put their own spin on our photos and get some unique poses and shots and David checked that box over and over again. David uses modern technology to ensure he captures the best of your moments and enhances the environment around you for just an even better product. Above all, we felt like we made a friend due to David’s positive attitude, the laughs we shared, and eagerness to capture YOUR moment. He is obviously a master of his craft and I recommend him to anyone that is looking for creativity in their photos, while also still capturing classy and classic poses. David is an incredible photographer that I simply can’t recommend enough.”

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?

“When we were planning our New York City wedding, we didn't quite know where to start when selecting our photographer. We are both creatives and we wanted someone who had a unique style that didn't feel too 'generic'. We asked around our networks and had Ben recommended to us.. and boy, are we lucky to have found him. Ben and his entire team (including his manager, Abby, and wife, Karis) were an absolute joy to work with- and while we haven't had a chance to see all of the finished pictures quite yet, the sneak peeks he has shown us are absolutely perfect. He even printed a few selects out during dinner and presented them to us as we were sitting at the table - it was the best surprise! Ben is a true artist. He allows the atmosphere and the energy of the room influence where and how he shoots. He finds natural light and discovers all of the hidden nooks and crannies in a space to create true magic. In addition to his artistry, Ben will work with you and tailor (or streamline) his services wherever he can to meet your target budget - which does not always happen with vendors at his level. Very grateful for his flexibility. We are so grateful to have found Ben - we can't recommend him and his incredible team enough!”
