Inspired by the creativity and energy of the Whitechapel District of London, this versatile venue strives to redefine how art permeates our daily life– be it through food, drink, performances, events, and other forms of artistic expression. The Whitechapel Projects was developed in a 120 year Warehouse complex through an environmentally friendly construction process called adaptive reuse. Adaptive reuse takes a structure that has outlived its usefulness, deconstructs it, and rebirths it using its original construction material. During the deconstruction process, we harvested 72,000 bricks, over 3 tons of timbers, tin ceilings, doors, pipes and even plywood. The harvested material was used in the reconstruction process to pave the courtyard, build walls, furniture, bars, tables , tap handles, and more.

As the mother of the bride you want everything to be flawless and I worried about missing little details. But when I saw the album I realized nothing was missed, from her shoes to the way her dad looked at her before walking her down the aisle. The video had me bawling, it caught every hug, every happy tear and all the laughter. I especially loved the way they filmed the reception because it felt like pure celebration and joy. My daughter keeps telling me she can’t believe how magical it looks, and honestly I can’t either. The editing was soft and beautiful, not fake or too heavy handed. I’ve watched it more times than I probably should admit. I am SO thankful we had them, it was one of the best investments of the whole wedding.

As your lead shooter, he had a passion for photography his entire life, capturing moments around him in the most authentic ways until one day Brittany told him “go full time”, it was insane. He fell in love with wedding photography and the emotion it brought out for everyone involved.

Mark and Brittany are truly exceptional at what they do. My husband and I are not typically in front of a camera, but Mark made us instantly comfortable in a way that allowed him to truly capture the moment between us instead of feeling like models posing for a job. We had a small wedding with no formal wedding planner or runner for the day, but Brittany and Mark helped everything to go smoothly, and we truly couldn’t have done it without them. Beyond all that, the images are truly breathtaking. Mark has an intrinsic ability to scan a space and find the most beautiful piece of it. I have never seen the inside of a train station look so magical! If you choose This Insane Idea for your special day, you will not be disappointed!

I can't thank her enough for her outstanding professional work!!! Alison perfectly achieved the soft curls and half ponytail I wanted, and her work lasted all day!!!! I danced, sweated, and even did pirouettes, yet my hair and curlers remained impeccable! (This is especially impressive since my natural hair is extremely straight!). They were professional, punctual, kind, and patient. One advantage for me was that they had previously worked at Park Chateau, making navigating the venue easy. Overall, communication with Alison and her team was excellent and prompt. My mom and bridesmaid LOVED their hair and makeup as well. My mom kept saying she couldn't believe how good it looked—it was like she had an Instagram filter on! I highly recommend her 100000000000!! I am incredibly grateful!!!!

If you are looking to have a wedding where your guests do not leave the dance floor the entire night - look no further because JB Pro Live is who you need!! Our DJ, Jan, absolutely exceeded all expectations we had as a DJ for our wedding day. When we met with him before the wedding, we gave him a few of our favorite songs but told him to use his discretion as what was most important to us was having everyone dancing and enjoying themselves. WELL, did he know what he was doing!!! Our dance floor was filled the ENTIRE NIGHT. We had 220 guests at our wedding, and 0 of them were sitting. We have guests who didn't even know we had a photo booth or voicemail booth because they truly did not leave the dance floor one time to look around. Jan reads the room perfectly and truly has a niche for knowing what people like to hear. Our MC Matt was also so great! He helped keep the night on track and made sure we were enjoying ourselves the entire time. He was fun, entertaining, and kept the vibes going! We have had 10 guests ask for our DJs information so they can book him for their own wedding because he really was just that good. After just the first dance set alone, our guests were excited and ready to party because he set the tone perfectly! We also booked a saxophonist through JPBRO as well as a dry ice machine, indoor firework fountains, and the snow effect and they were all perfect! The snow was by far the best addition! It was practically real snow (way better than what we were expecting) and all of our guests went crazy over it! The saxophonist was also a great touch and played practically every song throughout the night which our guests loved! And of course the dry ice machine and indoor firework fountains looked so great in our wedding pictures! Request Jan as your DJ- he is worth every penny and you will not regret it!!! He is absolutely a pro at what he does and you can guarantee that with him, not only will you have the best night of your life, but your guests will as well!

Blossom and Bee were one of the approved vendors on our venue's list. It was an easy process working with Penny and her team. I was able to pin inspo pictures on a Pinterest board as well as share pictures of my dress, my husband's tux, and our wedding invitation suite. As a bride of Indian origin, I wanted bright spring florals that also complimented the industrial/French look of our venue. I was overwhelmed by the number of color combinations I was interested in and the team helped me narrow down to the best color scheme. Something to note is that you will need to provide bud vases and rent floral stands from B&B if that is something you want in your decor. Luckily my venue provided a moon gate that could be used for the ceremony, and the venue staff repurposed the florals from the ceremony to the sweetheart table.

Hi! I’m Shauna — but you can call me Shay. I’m the photographer behind Milestone. What started as a side business in 2015 became my full-time dream in 2022, and I thank God daily that I get to serve amazing couples through my work. I met my husband at 15 and we’ve been together ever since, so love stories have always meant a lot to me. As a wife and mom of two adventurous boys, I know how meaningful life’s biggest milestones are. My goal is to give every couple a relaxed, fun experience and a gallery of memories you’ll treasure for a lifetime.

Shauna was recommended to me through my videographer. He worked with her in the past and felt she would be a good fit for my big day. He was absolutely right. Shauna is not only an exceptional photographer, she's an exceptional human. My husband and I loved working with her. When I first talked with her, I instantly felt comfortable and at ease. She answered every question I had and was able to give advice on not only the photography side, but weddings as a whole. I really felt like I had someone completely on my side throughout the whole experience. My package included engagement photos and she helped me pick the best location that would work for us as a couple. When we finally met her in person, we felt comfortable. She made us laugh and made sure the experience didn't feel awkward. We were able to feel the love while getting amazing photos taken. Once we got our engagement photos back, we knew our wedding photos would be topnotch and we were so excited for the day we got those. Shauna is always responsive and willing to chat whenever a question comes up. We video chatted multiple times before the big day to make sure everything could run as smoothly as possible. I can't thank her enough because I was all nerves until I got to see my husband during our first look. I knew I was in good hands though because of Shauna. She and Amy handled the day so perfectly. We got our wedding photos back and I can't begin to describe how much I love them. If you're looking for a photograph who really cares and will make the whole experience more easy, Shauna is your girl!

Having Sandy as our officiant was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From the very first meeting, she made us feel like we had known her forever. She didn’t just get to know us as a couple, she spent time with our close family and friends, making sure every detail of the ceremony truly reflected who we are and what matters most to us. That kind of effort is rare, and it made our ceremony feel so genuine, heartfelt, and personal. On the day of, Sandy brought such warmth, ease, and joy to every moment. She told our story beautifully and made us feel completely present, even in front of a crowd. Afterward, countless guests told us how touching the ceremony was, and it’s all thanks to Sandy’s gift for connecting with people. Not only did we have the perfect officiant, but by the end of this journey, we also gained a friend. If you want someone who will go above and beyond to make your ceremony unforgettable, Sandy is the one. We couldn’t imagine our wedding without her.

Maria was amazing throughout the whole process! We appreciated her communication and response time when planning our engagement session and preparing for our wedding. Maria made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. The weather did not cooperate with us on our wedding day, but Maria was flexible and found alternative spots for us to get the best shots. We were so happy with our photos! We highly recommend Maria!

  • Serves Long Branch, NJ

Hello! My name is Fen, nice to meet you online! I’m a freelance cinematographer and editor. I split my time between shooting weddings and indie films. I enjoy doing both because I love the thrill of operating a camera and I love people and stories! I have shot almost 400 weddings and I edit everything myself. In my spare time I love swimming, hiking, skiing, traveling with my family, writing and learning all kinds of stuff. I’m very curious about the world!

We initially didn't think we wanted a videographer, but we hired Fen and are so glad we did! We chose Fen because we really liked her style of capturing the whole day without disrupting anything "for video," which she said was her style. She was generous and ensured she had a clear plan of what we wanted ahead of time. Fen was really easy to work with and captured our entire day without disrupting us. We are so, so thrilled we hired her and can't wait to see the final video!

My fiancé and I took our engagement photos at Resorts Casino and we had the best experience! We chose Resorts specifically for the nostalgic charm that the casino and grounds offer. Nancy, the events manager, kindly tended to all of our questions and needs before and during the shoot. She made sure we were escorted by security as she guided us to all the best spots around the casino and the rest of the building to take photos. She walked us through a beautiful ballroom to get to the balcony with an amazing view of the boardwalk and the famous Resorts sign to get incredible pictures. Lastly we were able to shoot in the lovely classic theater that we didn't even know existed and was perfect for the theme of our photos. There are a variety of options to choose from whether you're planing a wedding, engagement party, bridal shower, bachelorette party (which we saw while stayed there) or just taking photos like us. I definitely recommend Resorts Casino for an event during your wedding journey.
