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.

Wild Hearts NJ 

5.0

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,700
  • Serves Absecon, NJ

Our couples live and love in the moment. You know the ones. They live for adventures and sunsets, know the best places to eat, probably have an awesome dog and a secret handshake. Our style can be defined as modern and vivid photography, with just a touch of moody. We love capturing those perfect candid moments, but include just enough posed photos to make mom, dad, and your future gallery wall happy.

Awarded Best of Zola
Wild Hearts was the best photographer you could ask for on your wedding day! Kamelia is great at communicating throughout the entire process. Ahead of the wedding day we had a comprehensive 45 min conversation before I booked her about vision. She actually helped me get a timeline set up for the day and gave me a list of other recommended vendors which I used to find my hair/makeup stylist. It was very easy because the payments were broken up over time so nothing snuck up on you. About 1 week before my fiancé and I met up with Kamelia over brunch to discuss the locations of all the shots we planned on taking, the color scheme, all family members for those photos, and to get more comfortable with each other. I really appreciated this. The day of the wedding I could ask for nothing better. Kamelia is very organized and kept the whole day running with great direction. It was easy to follow her direction to set up poses and get some candid shots. Allyson was the other photographer and really got along with the groom and the groomsmen. They knew all of the good spots around Asbury Park and the board walk to get photos. The best times that my husband and I had was when it was just us and the photographers walking around Asbury Park Boardwalk. We were all vibing having a great time and I really think that made the photos even better. They are both such lovely and professional individuals to work with and it shows. Both photographers took INCREDIBLE photos. You always want your wedding photos to turn out great but these exceeded my expectations. Every single person at my wedding has nothing but incredible things to say about the photos. I would highly recommend Wild Hearts if you are getting married in or around Asbury Park. They were beyond a pleasure to work with.

We are Mark & Brittany Edman, NJ based wedding team. Mark created “This Insane Idea” with the vision that anything is possible. 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. Coming home so happy with unique stories and photos from all over the state, Brittany knew she needed to join him on wedding days. Having a background in hospitality for 20 years Brittany began coordinating the day alongside Mark.

Mark is beyond talented! We won a giveaway that he did for a complimentary engagement photo shoot and instantly felt so comfortable. He doesn’t stage his pictures, he captures true moments. Once we got our pictures back we fell in LOVE with the way all of them looked. After reaching out to many other photographers we found mark and his team fit us best in what we were looking for, price wise & honestly how comfortable we felt at our engagement shoot. We felt like we have known him forever when in reality we just met him. We are beyond excited to have him shoot our wedding in May 2025!

  • Starts at $2,400
  • Serves Absecon, NJ

Photography is more than a few crisp images, it’s the gift of being able to tell someone else’s story through art. Being behind the camera comes with the privilege of being present for people’s most intimate and special moments. I was born and raised in Central Jersey, and throughout my life photography has been at the center. Over 10 years ago, I took the leap and took my love of the craft to new levels by creating Cyan Blue Photography.

Cyan Blue Photography was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding day. From the very first interaction, Jillian and Tom's communication was clear, consistent, and thorough, putting us at ease throughout the entire planning process. Their work is truly stunning - the photos they captured are beautiful, filled with creative angles and a keen attention to detail that made our special day look like it belonged in a magazine. Beyond their incredible photography, Jillian and Tom went above and beyond, helping with everything from adjusting my dress to tracking down family members. They even surprised us with lovely Polaroids at the end of the night, which was such a thoughtful touch. I cannot recommend Cyan Blue Photography highly enough and look forward to working with them again for future family photo shoots.

Bryanna was kind and professional from beginning to end. After our trial appointment, I unfortunately ended up losing my hair due to alopecia. I asked Bryanna if she would be able to style a wig. She did some research and agreed to do it even though she had never done it before. My bridal hair came out so beautifully. I couldn't have asked for more kindness, talent, and professionalism.

Penney and the team at Blossom & Bee are incredibly talented. We found them on instagram less than two months out, a little desperate to find the right florist who understood our vision. We wanted wild, organic florals with rich and a hint of soft colors to really make our day stand out and they totally delivered. They were so kind and caring the day of, making sure we loved our chuppah and everything. We cannot recommend this team enough, we already are telling our friends getting married that they have to check them out. Also, reasonably priced considering how gorgeous their work is!

I enjoy doing both because I love the thrill of operating a camera and I love people and stories! I have shot over 300 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!

Fen is absolutely wonderful!! I found Fen Video on Zola and was immediately struck by the fact that I recognized one of the brides in the promo trailers as an old friend from my home town. I took that as a great sign and reached out to Fen and only Fen to ask about being our videographer. We corresponded a few times to exchange ideas, locations, details etc and everything was always very simple and easy. Day of the wedding, Fen worked closely with our photographer and together they coordinated our First Look photo shoot, which they both captured beautifully. Fen left early to set up at the church and tactfully set up several cameras to capture all the important moments of our traditional Orthodox ceremony. She was very respectful of the priest and the church customs. At the reception, she was EVERYWHERE. Slipping in and out of dance circles, capturing the different buffet lines, catching beautiful intimate moments between us and our guests, even getting right in the middle of our Greek dance circle. It was amazing! She was so sweet and generous with her time and efforts. Watching the footage back, she truly captured every special moment we could remember from that night and so many we didn’t even know were happening. Her style is simple, classic, and focused on the special personal moments. My husband and I are so grateful for Fen!

It's taken me a couple months to write this review since getting married at Park Loft in May because I just haven't felt I had the words to adequately express how perfect this venue and their entire team was. Our wedding day exceeded even our own expectations and was absolutely flawless. I expected a little hiccup somewhere along the way, but there were none. The entire team we worked with were true professionals and had the whole process down to a tee. Our director, Allie, was beyond organized and accommodating, helping us throughout the entire planning process. Chef Thomas is incredible and so invested in ensuring all the food was delicious. Everyone who attended went out of their way to tell us it was the best food they have ever had at a wedding. If you are considering booking with Park Loft, all I can say is DO IT!!

Hello! My name is Jeff Bien Aime I am the Founder and Lead Videographer of Flare Hill Productions. I fell in love with Wedding Filmmaking back in 2018 when I Filmed my 1st, Wedding. I remember feeling so excited but yet so nervous. After it was all I over and I delivered the Wedding Film to my client. They ended up loving it and recommending me to my next couple. Since then, I've dedicated myself and this company to creating and capturing timeless moments of our couple's special day. I realized that there's something magical about capturing the love and emotions of two people in a way that can be relived over and over again. ​

Awarded Best of Zola
I highly recommend Jeff at Flare Hill Productions for your wedding video! He was affordable, easy to work with, communicative and flexible with any and all of our asks. He captured our day perfectly, without getting in the way or filling us with demands. He had previously worked with our photographer before as well, which we loved, making for a seamless day and amazing work environment for everyone! His work is beautiful, artistic, unique and high quality. We loved the final product and he was able to adjust the few very small things we wanted edited. He takes the time to explain decisions, changes and he is super kind to work with from start to finish! Definitely go with Jeff if you are looking for a great videographer, who fits in your budget, but creates a final masterpiece that you will love for many years to come!

Hi I'm Danielle and I’m so excited you’re here! I freaking LOVE my job! I get to come into your life, envelop myself in the magic of your love, inspire sweet interactions and freeze those unbeatable moments in time. After 6 years doing happy dances and climbing over things to ‘get the shot’, I’ve only become steadily more obsessed with illustrating love, nailing the shot, and serving my couples in every way I can. If you seek classic images with a heap of genuine emotion and a dash of adventure, I already know we’ll be fast friends. Let’s grab a virtual coffee and hang!

Awarded Best of Zola
If I could add 100 stars, I would. Danielle was phenomenal from the start. She was extremely responsive to all of my questions. One thing that I believe makes Danielle stand out from other photographers is her adaptability. For our engagement photos, our initial location did not work out, but she was quick and willing to switch locations at the last minute. She knew exactly where to go to get the perfect pictures that fit our vision. My husband and I were initially so nervous about taking pictures, but Danielle made the process so seamless and FUN! My husband and I still rave about our engagement session. For our wedding, it was a very chaotic few days leading up to the event. I had to make changes to the schedule at the last minute and she was kind and accomodating, and rolled with the punches like a true professional. She had to deal with a lot of moving parts and did it with true grace. She eased my anxiety and was a pure joy to work with. She also had her second photographer with her, Taylor who was also pure perfection, and they both worked really well with my son, who has ASD. I felt that I had friends working with me, and not just business owners who wanted to collect a payment. Her work is unmatched, but her kindness towards her clients especially during stressful times is something that you can't get from just anybody. Danielle is truly a special soul, and I will continue to work with her for future projects. I will tell anyone I can about how perfect she is, and having her as your wedding photographer is the only logical choice you can make for a smooth and happy day!

Hey! We are United Elite Photography. We Create Powerful Imagery For Your Wedding, and Hopefully, All Your Next Milestones Following.

Please see our photographer's portfolios on our website and choose your lead photographer before they don't have your date available anymore. Typically, wedding photographers are booked at least a year in advance, however, we have some bookings up to three years in advance because of our reputation of personalizing every wedding.

Awarded Best of Zola
I'm so happy we decided to book with United Elite and after everything is said and done, I'm SO happy we were assigned to Rachel. My photographer and videographer was something I wanted to make sure I did a lot of research on, after reading some reviews I decided to go through with a consult and booked immediately after the phone call. Marcia was very thorough and I got assigned to Rachael due to her photography style and the fact she loves dogs (our dogs were in the wedding and this was something to mention to them as it was very important to me to make sure we had someone who knew how important it was). Rachael was so easy to work with and helped me so much throughout my planning. When I finally met her and the team (Karim and Aaron- sorry if I spell those names wrong), I knew we were in good hands. Rachael is a BOSS and made sure we stayed on track with everything I wanted throughout the day. Seriously- she was more attentive than my maître d' LOL. The second photographer and the videographer were so good to. They all made us feel so comfortable. Rachael was so patient with our dogs, got the best pictures of them. She captured the whole day just as it was, which is exactly what I wanted. Same with our video. I cannot say enough good things about these 3. IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR STUNNING WEDDING PHOTOS TO LOOK BACK ON FOR ALL THE YEARS TO COME, BOOK WITH UNITED ELITE!

Five Pines Photography

  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $3,400
  • Serves Absecon, NJ

As a southern New Jersey wedding and engagement photographer, I specialize in documenting personal moments between you + your loved one while capturing all of the true, raw emotions during our session. Building a genuine, honest connection with you and all of my clients is something I strive for constantly. It's not just about taking pictures, but rather the experience that makes the photos magical. I want to exceed your highest expectations of telling your love story and create something you'll never stop reminiscing on.

After moving into our first home, my boyfriend and I wanted a way to bring our white walls to life. The two of us are usually never caught behind the camera lens, but after this experience I would choose Ashley from Five Pines time and time again to capture life’s most important moments. Ashley puts thought into every detail: from the location to the time of day to ensure the best quality pictures. She is kind and genuine and carries on casual conversation while snapping away to produce the perfect candid and effortless shots. I especially liked how she kept us moving around a majority of the session which at times made me forget we were even getting our picture taken. Ashley is professional, accommodating and timely. She followed up with us multiple times before our session about location and time, ensured she checked the weather and was highly accommodating. Although not initially part of the plan, she allowed us last minute to bring our dog which proved to be tricky in the moment, but she welcomed and worked with him with ease and smile. I also couldn’t believe the quick turn around time from the night we took our pictures to when she edited and sent them out. I can’t thank Ashley enough for capturing one of the most exciting and memory filled years of our relationship. If you are in need of remembering and capturing the moment, Ashley will give you the quality and experience you’re looking for!

Presley Planning

  • Planner
  • Offers 4 services
  • Starts at $2,500
  • Serves Absecon, NJ

I'm Victoria, Owner + Lead Planner at Presley Planning with four years experience in the wedding industry and seven years in beauty marketing. My unique background is where I became the detail-oriented and creative professional that I am today (& weddings are ALL about the details!). My wedding experience includes traditional and non-traditional venues, large outdoor tented weddings and bespoke intimate ceremonies. I customize each package to my clients’ needs and make sure you're enjoying the process along the way! The only thing I love more than my husband + two pups (George + Henry), is making my clients' dream wedding vision come to life!

Victoria, Danielle and Kyle can solve and will solve absolutely anything that comes up on the big day and all the days leading up. I was a bride on a budget so was unsure if I "needed" a planner. Let me tell you, you do, and you freaking deserve it. No matter how much you plan you WILL need her. Every question, she has the answer and the 4 weeks leading up to your wedding are insane, so the fact that she coordinated all the communication with vendors legit saved my job. Day of, she and her squad showed up with a legit Mary Poppins bag of anything you would need day of. From safety pins to foot numbing spray to q tips. Because all of the reviews of planners on this site are glowing and positive, which makes it hard to choose, let me list out what she did for me as she was actually a super woman planner. 1. On my way to the church I realized I didn't have my veil. I gave her a call, she picked up on the first ring and didn't even bother to ask me where it was all she said was "no problem"! She sped back to venue and retrieved it and made it back to the church right on time. 2. After a sunshine filled week nothing short of an actual cyclone descended on my wedding day. I was determined to make my boardwalk pics happen (despite that legit never being possible). As I looked at my frigid bridesmaids I couldn't hold it in and the full sob occurred. We relocated into the venue and I was shocked to find my venue 100% set up 2 hours early and it looked absolutely stunning. Victoria had foreseen this inevitability and saved my day. 3. Oh and about the full sob, she was there with a large glass of Chardonnay, the perfect shade of Dior lip gloss and a beauty blender to patch me back together after. 4. The entire day went on exactly as planned per the timeline bc she was there! Ladies, your not going to be wearing your Apple Watch on your wedding day and you are going to be so emotional you don't deserve to be thinking about what's next. 5. We forgot my MIL favorite bottle of wine at my dads house, Danielle zoomed to his house, got in using a hidden key, retrieved it and showed up and handed it to me drenched from the rain. 6. After my wedding day when I felt guilty for having social anxiety the day of she was so supportive and honest in telling me all my feelings were 100% normal and don't trust everything you see on instagram (many brides are unprepared for 300 eyes on them). Last thing, unlike some NJ planners that only do weddings over 100k, she isn't like that AT ALL. The best planners can work with any budget, and Victoria is actually THE BEST.
