Awarded Best of Zola
We had such an easy time working with Enchanted Celebrations staff that I would jump at choosing them again! Blair and Summer were professional, thorough, empathetic and communicated very clearly all the different features of the videography plans so that we felt like we chose the right plan for our wedding day. As time came closer, Summer was diligent at working with us on the details for the day-of, and then a few days before the wedding we confirmed everything with Edwin, our assigned videographer. Edwin’s style was spot-on with what we imagined and the videos came out beautiful and so much quicker than we expected them. We’re delighted with our experience!

We had an amazing experience with Masters of Visual Studio! Their combination of artistic and candid photography completely blew us away. The quality of their work is just outstanding. From the start, everything was so efficient and simple. Getting the price which is openly listed on their website, signing the contract, and even receiving everything after the wedding was smooth and exactly as promised. They were very responsive, polite, and patiently answered all my questions even though I am a bit detail oriented. The pictures and video were absolutely stunning, and their pricing was very reasonable. They were a huge help in putting together a wedding day timeline. Highly, highly recommend them.

Hyde Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $5,000
  • Serves South Orange, 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!

  • Serves South Orange, 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 was an angel from the beginning. She is very intentional and genuine in getting to know her clients. It's clear her top priority is helping the couple curate and experience a memorable and one-of-a-kind celebration. From her cheerful spirit to her attention drawn eye, she is an amazing person to work with. Clearly I (we) can't say enough kind things about her, so you should book her and find out for yourself hehe.

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.

I met Bryan at a wedding expo and immediately knew I wanted him to be the photographer for our engagement shoot and wedding. It was very important to us to have memorable photos that we can look back on and relive such a special day. I gave Bryan a vision of what I wanted and he exceeded my expectations and delivered the most beautiful photos that we will cherish forever. He went out of his way to pick locations with amazing views to get the perfect shots and coached us on what to do. My husband and I were very nervous because we've never taken professional photos but Bryan was very patient and guided us and made the experience very enjoyable. He was attentive to what we asked for and he was very professional and an absolute pleasure to work with. I can't say enough good things about our experience and we hope to work with him again in the future. Thank you Bryan!!

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. 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
Djaniella was AMAZING!! We booked her for our wedding which was 8/23/25. The package we chose included an engagement shoot, which was wonderful because we got to meet her ahead of time and make sure that we meshed well together, which of course we did because she’s just so wonderful, and those pictures blew us away already. She is so talented and so sweet. My husband and I had warned her we aren’t center of attention or photogenic people but she made sure to capture every moment and she did it so subtly that we didn’t feel like we were being swarmed by a paparazzi. She got along with our coordinator beautifully, and I actually think she enjoyed our wedding which was such an amazing feeling for us that even our vendors had a good time, even though they were working. I will be hiring her again and again and again, for all of life’s photo worthy moments. She also sent us a few photos the day after the wedding just to ensure we had something tangible before she got to edit the rest and they are beautiful. Thank you Djaniella, from the bottom of our hearts for giving us memories that will last a lifetime.

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!

I have told everyone I know that the decision to marry my husband was the first best decision I made and hiring Michelle as our wedding photographer was the second best!! She is hands down the most amazing and talented person to work with on your wedding day! From the very first Email Michelle makes you feel like you guys have been friends for years! She is so down to earth and instantly makes you feel comfortable whether its through email, FaceTime or over the phone she makes it known that she is there for you the entire planning process. Michelle answers every single email almost instantly and no question is ever a dumb question. She will walk you through every single minute of your wedding day to make sure things run smoothly and so you have nothing to worry about the day of, and she even calls the shots when it comes to getting the family in order for family pictures. My biggest concern when looking for a photographer was how I always felt my husband and I weren’t the most photogenic people and we aren’t comfortable in front of the camera and boy was I wrong. Michelle not only captured some of the most beautiful pictures of us together but she captured the pure love we share and feel for each other. Michelle got the pictures back to us so quick and she keeps you in the loop the entire time. If you are on the fence about a wedding photographer do yourself a favor and email her!!!!!

Kimberly is an expert. And we would recommend her to anyone. My partner was a groomsmen in a wedding that Kimberly was the photographer for and he was so impressed by her presence and efficiency (not to mention we both loved her photography) that we immediately reached out when it came to our wedding.  Her ability to capture the best and sweetest moments without feeling like we were surrounded by cameras is truly a super power. We were floored by the incredible images she took. Not only did she manage the schedule based off of the photos we wanted to take, but her talent is evident in the countless pictures we have from our wedding weekend that look back on this special milestone. She captured the essence of our day in ways that felt natural to my partner and me -- and to us, that's the mark of an expert photographer.  Kimberly also balances this ability to wield a calm and warm energy while commanding a large room of people to get a photo together -- which is not easy. Her energy and grace is exactly what you need on a stressful day filled with places to be and schedules to follow. She was truly our favorite person to work with leading up to and during the weekend. Easy, efficient, communicative and most importantly kind.  Photos are important to look back on the day you've spent so much time preparing for and we would put our faith in Kimberly all over again for future events and endless recommendations to other couples. We are forever grateful for the beautiful pictures she took of us.

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?

Awarded Best of Zola
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!

Honesty in Your Photography: That's not just a promise but a guiding principle. As your photographer my passion lies in capturing the essence of your day - the feelings, the love, and the authentic emotions that happen organically. My approach is centered on embracing the beauty of genuine connections and preserving the unique atmosphere of your wedding day, wherever those moments may happen.

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!

She makes you feel calm and reminds you to focus on the importance of being in the moment. As a person who does not enjoy photos of myself, she made me feel relaxed and happy on my wedding day. Her style is literally like out of Pinterest board and feels so genuine to the moment. She gives incite into the details of your wedding day and helps you make the best choices for capturing your day. My husband and I could not recommend her enough. We truly feel we gained a friend in this process and if and when we ever need photos again we will use her services without a second thought!

Ben Kelmer Studio

  • Photojournalistic style

Through my documentary approach to photography, I capture authentic visual stories. 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.

Ben Kelmer Studio was the perfect choice for our wedding photography. From the very first meeting, Ben and his team were open, honest, and warm in their communication, putting us at ease and helping us feel confident in their abilities. Their work is truly professional, showcasing a generous and creative approach that captured all the special moments of our day - even the small details that other photographers might have missed. Ben's keen eye and humanity shone through, both in his interactions with us and in the beautiful, timeless photos he delivered. We were so impressed and cannot recommend Ben Kelmer Studio highly enough!

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 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,850
  • Serves South Orange, NJ

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 :)
