Hyde Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $5,000
  • Serves Paterson, 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).

We hired Hyde Photography for our 11/15 wedding, and we couldn’t have been happier with the experience. Both Seth and his second shooter, Drea, were absolutely incredible from start to finish. They had such a calm, grounding presence throughout the day while still keeping everything moving on schedule. They were flexible, attentive, and made sure we captured the handful of concept shots that were really important to us. On top of that, they were just a genuinely great vibe to be around, which made the whole experience feel effortless. We received our preview photos about a week after the wedding and they were so perfect — beautifully composed, natural, and truly reflective of the day. We’re already confident the full gallery will be just as stunning. Highly, highly recommend!

Awarded Best of Zola
We had a very small and simple wedding, and having Ellis there honestly made the day feel more special. From the moment he arrived, it felt like we had a friend with us — calm, kind, and quietly capturing all the little moments. We didn’t want anything overly posed or formal, and he understood that. The photos reflect exactly how the day felt — relaxed, full of love, and real. Looking through them now brings back so many little details we might have forgotten. We’re not used to being in front of the camera, but Ellis made us feel so comfortable, and that really shows in the photos. We're so grateful to have had someone who truly respected the vibe of our day and captured it so beautifully. Thank you again for being part of it — we’ll treasure these memories forever.

Dawnpoint Studios

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $7,000
  • Serves Paterson, NJ

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
Angelica is an absolutely wonderful photographer and woman. She made me, the bride, feel beautiful on my wedding day and she kept me feeling calm by gently directing and keeping the pace of what we asked her to photograph. All the photos turned out better than we could have ever dreamed and we are so grateful for her talent and hard work.

Florencia Saav Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,600
  • Serves Paterson, NJ

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.

Working with Bryan for our special day was an absolute breeze. He made us feel so comfortable and honored any request we had. Bryan arrived to the getting ready suites on our wedding day with a framed photo of Dan and I from our engagement shoot, which we now have on our nightstand. Bryan is thoughtful, attentive, and truly cares about each couple. Bryan and Blaze were both supportive and efficient throughout the entire day. He even sent our sneak peek photos less than one week after our wedding on 2/1/25! Bryan and his team kept timing on track and helped keep the calm atmosphere throughout the day and night. The photos are absolutely stunning and everything we could have imagined- candid, clear, crisp and fun photos to really capture the energy of the night. We cannot wait for our full album and HIGHLY recommend Bryan and his team for any and all photography needs!

If you’re looking for a photographer who will exceed all the expectations you have for your wedding look no further! I have nothing but good things to say about Jia. From our engagement photos to our actual wedding every picture he took was beautiful and came out better than I could have imagined. We were having a 150 person wedding and at first I was a bit nervous about only having 1 shooter with Frame Your Love, but I don’t regret it one bit. Jia managed to capture every detail and not a moment of the wedding was missed. 10/10 recommend. I have truly have no complaints. His communication was great, he was reasonably priced, and I got my photos back with full editing quickly. Do yourself a favor and book with Jia at Frame Your Love Photography!!!

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.

We are so happy with our decision to book Sincerely DJ Photography for our engagement photos in Nov 2024 and wedding photos on 9/20/25! We are obsessed with how our photos came out. We booked DJ because we loved her editing style and how natural yet happy the couples looked in the galleries on her website, and our photos were exactly what we were hoping for (but somehow even more amazing than we could have imagined). Coordinating our engagement shoot and wedding day timeline with DJ was easy and she is very responsive; she is very professional, kind, and down-to-earth, so we really enjoyed working with her on our wedding day. A bonus was that she was a natural when dealing with the younger kids who did not want to cooperate during portraits. Highly recommend Sincerely DJ to all couples!!

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.

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!

Honesty in Your Photography: That's not just a promise but a guiding principle.

I knew I had made the right choice hiring Adam after our engagement shoot! He was kind, funny, and struck the perfect balance between giving direction and letting us just be ourselves. I felt so confident going into my wedding day with Adam as our photographer — but he still managed to exceed every expectation. As a bride managing chronic health issues, I woke up on the morning of my wedding not feeling my best. Adam not only captured all the essential photos and flat lays beautifully, but he also went out of his way to help with little things — like finding random items in the suite while I was a bit out of it. He stayed calm, patient, and reassuring even when we fell slightly behind schedule. Once I started feeling better, he jumped right back into action, guiding us through all of our photos — including family portraits — efficiently and effortlessly, without ever making us feel rushed. He worked with such professionalism, kindness, and ease, helping us get to the ceremony on time while still capturing every moment that mattered. We received our preview photos in record time, and I could not be happier with them. Adam’s images truly capture my husband and me in the most genuine, beautiful way. I would hire him again in a heartbeat!

Since 2014, I've travelled the world documenting not just weddings but diverse cultural events and meaningful moments across continents. I blend into the background while remaining attentive to every genuine emotion and unexpected detail. Whether an intimate ceremony in a historic venue or a celebration against a stunning international backdrop, I craft visual legacies with creativity and heart for clients who embrace what makes them distinctive.

We had a great experience with Ben! He was professional, easy to work with, and made the whole process smooth and comfortable. On the wedding day, he captured all the important moments with great attention to detail. The final photos were high quality and reflected the day perfectly. We are very satisfied with the outcome and would happily recommend him.

I wish I could upload every single photo Chris took on our wedding day, but you'll just have to take my word for how awesome he is. Chris was super easy to work with, and since we live on the west coast, he was very flexible meeting with us over zoom. He made the planning process easy for us and every time we met, I felt a little weight of the wedding planning was lifted off of my shoulders. It ended up raining, and we moved the formal photos inside, and Chris was not only flexible, but made the room/photos look excellent. During the reception it cleared up and Chris took us outdoors for some couple photos, and I'm so glad he did. I've added some of my favorite pics, but I can't recommend Chris enough!!

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.

Giannav Photography - Documentary Wedding Photographer

On most days, you’ll find me at my desk editing galleries while catching up on the best of Bravo shows or any 2000’s rom-com movies with a cup of iced coffee. I’m a huge Buffalo Bills and New York Yankee’s fan, I love trying new brunch spots, and well…I love to talk. If I’m excited or anxious, I’m always rambling on about everything and anything I can.

Gianna was an absolute dream to work with for engagement photos and civil wedding. From the moment we first connected, Gianna was incredibly professional but personable. My husband and I think we're the most awkward people out there and usually hate most photos of us, but Gianna warm persona made us feel so comfortable throughout the whole process and we LOVED how our photos turned out. The most special thing about Gianna is how passionate she is about her work and much she cares about her couples. The quality of her photography is simply STUNNING - the photos beautifully captured all the special moments and details of our day. She truly went above and beyond for us and made our Pinterest board come to life (and more!) She even stayed past sunset for our engagement shoot to make sure we got every bit of beautiful, stylized photo we could. We were thrilled with the quick turnaround, and the gorgeous, high-quality images. We loved her so much that we hired her again for our larger wedding! We can't wait :)
