About Malta Studio

Malta Studio

Head Photographer

A small studio in Union NJ with big plans! I have been a photographer for 6 years working as a freelancer. Like back in the day, learning on the field is the best way to learn everything about photography. Starting a Zola is the first step to branch from a freelancer to a business owner / photographer. I'm starting my own business for my baby, Xavier. Working at your wedding helps me be with my family longer.

I'll work with you financially, before your big day (engagement shoots), on your big day, and after ( photo editing). Not only do I provide the services needed to complete your vendor search but I also print your albums, cards, t-shirts and more so everything you need is in one place. This is a family business. I'm LGBTQ+ friendly.

Best of Zola 2024

    Wedding

    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

    He keeps removing bad reviews

    We hired Malta Studio for our wedding and deeply regret that decision. From the start, communication was nearly impossible—Davide rarely responds to messages and when he did, they spoke to us in a condescending way that made us feel small. One week before, it became clear they had no respect for the occasion or our needs, treating us like we were bothering them rather than paying clients. After experiencing their unprofessional behavior and lack of effort, we made the difficult choice to end our contract with them. What made this worse is that they still owe us a refund as outlined in the agreement we signed, yet they refuse to respond about it. We strongly advise other couples to look elsewhere—this business shows as permanently closed on Google/yelp, and based on our experience, that's probably for the best.

    Customer

    I hired Davide as my wedding photographer for November 7, 2025, with a 3-month delivery timeline. It is now April and I have received nothing. I have reached out multiple times with no response, which is extremely unprofessional. This situation is especially upsetting because my mother passed away just two days before my wedding—these photos are irreplaceable to me. I am requesting immediate delivery or a clear response with a guaranteed timeline. If not resolved promptly, I will pursue further action.

    Malta Studio, great service!

    Fantastic service all around, I like working with local businesses, so my wife picked Malta Studio. We had a tight schedule on our wedding day since we both have big families. They were taking pictures fast, just knocking out the photo list. After the cake cutting I liked that they asked us if we wanted any more pictures taken before they leave, most businesses would of just left without us knowing and contact us the next day. Great job guys! We just got the pictures back, they look great. working the wedding album with them hopefully I can post some pictures of the book soon.

    My review on Malta Studio, photo, video, DJ

    Starting from the meeting they sounded like they knew what they were doing, they asked practically all the questions and even questions I should have brought up with the venue. What sold me was the payment plan. They didn't have to but they gave me a payment plan but when I was switching between jobs they didn't charge me any late fees and even changed the plan to make sure I took care of the family first by lowering the monthly payments. The big day: They came an hour early, but we were 30 minutes behind. They knew how to improvise. They were helpful all the way through. After big day: They said if it's not to busy they can get everything done in about 2 months but I usually just go by the contract. But ya they got everything done within a proper timeline. Pictures and video looks great and now I asked for a wedding album and thank you cards.
