We wanted the music to naturally draw people to the dance floor without any emcee work, and DJ Cam nailed it with a fantastic set list. He avoided the typical "wedding-y" songs and created the party atmosphere we dreamed of. DJ Cam was super responsive via email, text, and phone, and his fun yet professional demeanor made everything smooth.

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.

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!!!!

Awarded Best of Zola
Let me start by saying that this bride is a bit late on reviews... but as my 1 year anniversary approaches and I look at the beautiful pictures that I have from my wedding day, I wanted to take the time to thank RB Studio and Michael! When I first contacted them I knew he was the photographer for us based on his personalized response. We asked for a bit of an unusual session from him as we wanted to travel all over the Hoboken area on our wedding day to take pictures with as many local backdrops as we could. Michael didn't blink an eye, he was all for the adventure! We were new to the area so we left it up to him to plan the day and he chose the most amazing locations, even including a coffee shop that captured part of our love story. I am thankful that we found Red Bank Studio and will be hiring him again to explore more locations in the future.

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'm Kaitlin Noel—a wife to Michael, mother to Nicholas and Ryan, and dog mom to our French Bulldog, Ellie. I’m a passionate photographer, traveler, and incurable romantic. When I’m not shooting weddings around the globe, you’ll find me in Cape May, shopping at my favorite local spots with a coffee in hand or walking on the beach. Family is everything to me and my clients are an extension of that. I could eat tacos daily, adore martinis, and decorate my home with a coastal chic inspiration. As an international photographer, I have the pleasure of traveling and experiencing new coastal towns and culters which brings me so much joy!

We hired Kaitlin Noel Photography for our September wedding in Cape May, NJ, and the experience with her and her colleague, Chris, was wonderful! From the moment you meet her to the day you receive your wedding album, you feel like a VIP. The attention to detail and the level of service and care she provides to her clients are beyond words. Her team knows what they are doing and they do it exceptionally well. For example, she was able to corral a group of 50 people, ranging in age from 7 to 90, in just 20 minutes to take a variety of church photos. If you think that's impressive, she even convinced our bridal party to pose on the beach in the blazing sun while wearing their tuxedos and gowns, capturing some truly memorable moments. At the cocktail hour and the reception, Chris was able to capture our many guests and special moments/traditions without being intrusive, ensuring that everyone felt comfortable and relaxed. The level of dedication and experience her team brings was such a stress reliever for myself and my husband throughout the entire day. It’s as if they knew what you wanted without you even having to say it. Overall, our experience was just WOW, and we would highly recommend her and her team to anyone.

My wife Debbie and I celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary by hosting a party of close to 100 people with family and friends. We searched for a DJ in our area that would listen to our requests for music to get everyone who attended to get up and dance and join the celebration. Alex did not disappoint and was an outstanding DJ. His price for the event was also very reasonable. We spoke to him several times to seek ideas for the celebration songs to play and when to play them. He had a user-friendly website where you can put in the top 50 songs you wanted to play as well as additional songs if there was time. I sang to my wife at our wedding 50 years ago and wanted to surprise her at the party and do the same. I called Alex and asked him if he could set up and find the background instrumentals to “Have I told you Lately”. Minutes later he sent me a link of the instrumental via email. I practiced it once and it was perfect. My wife was definitely surprised, as well as our guests, when I sung it to her while I danced with my her. It was a special moment during our celebration and Alex helped make it happen. Received a lot of complimentary comments about Alex from our guests. We wholeheartedly recommend Alex for your next celebration! Thanks Alex!!

Awarded Best of Zola
We were thrilled to have FindOrion Photography as our wedding photographers. From the beginning, Claire and her team were prompt, friendly, and incredibly creative in their approach. They were professional, communicative, organized, and truly comforting to work with throughout the entire process. Claire was a huge part of our surprise wedding, and she totally understood the assignment, bringing our unique vision to life with us. She was so patient with our guests and worked seamlessly alongside us the entire time. The best moments of the day were perfectly captured, and we will cherish the amazing work they did for us on our wedding day. We would recommend FindOrion Photography to anyone looking for a friendly, professional, and extremely talented event photographer. 10/10!
