Mario Oliveto Photography 

5.0

  • Photographer
  • Fine art style
  • Serves Avalon, NJ

Mario Oliveto Photography is genuine and heavily focused on real emotions, always believing that everyone has a story. Our photography makes you feel as if you were connected with those in front of the camera. Wedding photography is capturing real, raw, emotions, in the most beautiful fine art style.

We had nothing but positive experiences with Mario from engagement shoot to the big day! We used Mario for our engagement shoot in Philly about a year before our wedding. We were really unsure of locations and he had great suggestions that he ran by us and offered ideas ahead of time and during the shoot, he helped adjust as we looked at the lighting and space. We both expressed how unsure we were about taking professional pictures since this was a first for us and were not comfortable with a lot of the trendy shots and he really worked with us to make all the poses feel natural to us while still looking phenomenal. We decided to go with his associates for the big day based on our budget and they did not let down. Mario specifically picked two photographers who were familiar with our venue and had great suggestions for where to get the best shots. Our two associates, Rachel & Alyssa, were helpful, kind, fun, professional and absolute champs to get all the best pictures on our day. We had 100 degree temps and they worked so hard to make sure we were comfortable the entire time while not sacrificing the pictures we had planned for. They checked in with us often and were not afraid to tell our family that the group pictures were done so that we could actually enjoy cocktail hour (after confirming with us that is was what we wanted). They also took adorable couples pictures of our guests during lulls in the dinner service that my family and friends were beyond excited for. Mario and his associates are an absolute recommendation in my book and I can not say enough nice things about working with them!

I was blown away by the talent of the musicians, they really take their craft seriously. I requested a Roaring Twenties theme from Louis Pettinelli and they went above and beyond to make it happen. The singer Karlea was phenomenal and did an amazing job of keeping our guests engaged and entertained. The musicians were all courteous, professional, and exceptionally talented. They dressed appropriately for our wedding theme and many of the guests at the Hawthorne Hotel wanted to take pictures with Karlea in her Twenties attire. In addition to being a wonderful experience, they were also a great value for the price. These are top quality musicians and we paid a reasonable price for the band. I highly recommend this group for your wedding.

I can't speak more highly of Alexa & Nick! They are easy-going, laidback and fun to work with! They don't get in your face or make you do things over and over to get the shot. They are unobtrusive, documentary and let the day flow naturally. They only interject if they absolutely have to.

They are respectful, professional and deliver sweet and intimate videos that really feel like you're reliving your day!! The style is modern and clean with a little moody edge.

If you know how you want your hair styled perfect, let's make that vision come to life. If not I can help you pick the perfect style that complements your own unique style along with complementing your dress and wedding vision.

Having Brittany do my hair as well as my bridesmaids hair for my wedding was easily the best decision I ever made. She was professional, organized and communicated the timeline of the day to ease all of my nerves. On top of just knowing what she was doing behind the scenes, I’ve never felt prettier in my entire life. My hair in every picture and every angle was absolutely stunning and I could not have wished for anything different. I highly recommend Brittany to everyone!!

Established in 1998 by chef Nick Wall, foodwerx is the premier catering and event-production company in South Jersey and Philadelphia. Delicious food is Nick Wall’s passion; creativity, flawless execution and exceptional attention to detail are his hallmarks—and the foundation of foodwerx. We use only the finest and freshest ingredients to create delectable offerings served up with an added ‘wow’ factor. We are 100 percent committed to impeccable service. Whether you’re planning a wedding, bar mitzvah, sweet sixteen, graduation party, special birthday, anniversary, shower or a corporate event, foodwerx will meet your highest standards.

Alyssa and the team at Foodwerx could NOT have been more helpful in my desperate time of need. My husband and I decided to postpone our original big wedding plans for a small, intimate wedding in my parents backyard. Having worked professionally with Foodwerx in the past, I reached out to Alyssa; not only did they create a custom menu (matching exactly what we had originally planned), but at great pricing. She offered to handle all of the rentals as well, but I decided to do that on my own. I’m not going to lie, I was not very excited for this plan and stressing out every day. Little did I know, it was exactly what I wanted. The food was amazing (if you are debating on getting crab cakes... just do it, they were incredible), the displays were amazing, and the service was even better! A huge thank you to Alyssa, Nick, and the Foodwerx team for making our wedding the most perfect day!! :)

  • Videographer
  • Storytelling style

At Live Picture Studios, we pride ourselves on our ability to reinvent traditional wedding videography and photography. Our philosophy is rooted in our belief that every couple is unique. It is our mission to take the time to get to know you and your love story before your wedding in order to capture the details that are personal to you. Doing so allows us to ensure that every wedding video and photo we produce is compelling and tailored to each couple's personalities.

At first, my husband and I were unsure of whether or not we wanted to spend the extra money on videography, but ended up being so glad that we did. Tan and Ryan did an amazing job of capturing all the important moments of the day, while hiding in plain sight, so much so that we barely knew that they were there during the ceremony and reception. They caught moments on camera that we didn’t even know they were recording. We got our highlight reel which is about 4 minutes long, but we haven’t received our longer 45 minute video yet, and we will also be receiving all of the raw footage of the day. We’ve watched the highlight reel about 50 times already and we love how perfectly they were able to capture the essence of our wedding day in a short 4 minute clip. Definitely worth the investment to be able to relive the best day ever and see all of your family and friends having a great time.

I reside in Jersey City, New Jersey, serving New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, and beyond. I grew up surrounded by family photos. My parents had a professional photography business, Infinity Photography, back in the days of film. My friend asked me to do her senior portraits, so I started my photography business after my parent's business was closed for nearly 20 years. Fun fact, I chose "Grey" because I'm a nerd, and I love Jean Grey - she's my fave X-men. Also, my name is hard to spell, especially when you hear it. It's like "Leah" with a "Tuh."

Taliya gave us the absolute best wedding photography experience. She was extremely professional and quick to answer any questions at any point along the way. She made sure every detail was arranged before hand so there were 0 surprises along the way and day of. Not to mention that the photos turned out phenomenal. She was great at posing and framing to get the best shots and made sure that everything got pictured and captured from our special day. Would recommend 100%

Weddings are celebrations that are full of emotion and romance all in a highly dynamic environment. Wedding photographs are timeless and irreplaceable so as a photographer, I feel I have a great responsibility at hand. I try my best to work with clients on their needs, provide flexible coverage hours and I work within their budgets. I am drawn to those unguarded candid moments. I attempt to portray an artistic feel that reveals feelings of emotion onto the viewer. Be it a gaze, a beaming smile, tears of joy or a blurred image to depict movement my goal is communication. It is these moments along with many others I feel should be captured.

Jose is fantastic! He has so much experience and very professional. Before our wedding day, he always had quick and clear communication. We loved his artistic eye and dramatic style of photography. He knows how to give good direction for those that aren’t used to posing or being photographed, and was always looking for the next shot. He definitely lets you be you and can still get amazing shots. We were surprised at how quickly we got to preview our gallery. After the wedding day, I realized that there was so much I didn’t get to document personally to remember the details from that day. But after seeing some of the shots, Jose had made me so happy to see how much he documented from the day! I highly recommend Jose :)

You know those first few months that you fall in love & everything is so wonderful & terrifying & just so damn GOOD? It's that “new love” feeling & I’ve never been able to replicate that feeling with anything else, except photography. Your wedding day tells the story of your love. From that “new love” to the more comfortable kind, it is the culmination of all those moments leading up to “I do.” I consider myself the narrator of that day, telling that story and documenting your connection through my photographs.

We highly recommend JENNY for any photo needs. She’s amazingly detailed and makes you feel like she’s your best friend. We were both nervous for our engagement shoot and she made it a breeze! 15/10 would recommend!

We hired Keagan from Mr. Paradiso for my brother and sister-in-law’s wedding, and we couldn’t have been more thrilled with the service. From the moment we contacted him, the communication was seamless and he was incredibly accommodating to our requests. On the day of the wedding, the bartender arrived promptly, set up quickly, and immediately began serving our guests with a smile. The drink menu he helped us create was a hit, with a perfect mix of classic cocktails and unique, signature drinks that everyone loved. Our guests raved about the quality of the drinks and the friendly, professional service they received all night long. The bartender’s knowledge and resourcefulness really shone through, making the whole experience smooth and enjoyable. We also appreciated his attention to detail and how he expertly managed everything from start to finish. It allowed us to relax and enjoy the celebration without any worries.

We’re Julian & Evgenia. Born in the different parts of the former Soviet Union, Julian (who also lived in Israel since he was 13) and Evgenia met at an outdoors photoshoot on one of the coldest January days. Between the two of them, they spoke 3 different languages and were always drawn to timeless candid photography.

Julian and Evgenia captured our wedding this past July and we could not be more happy with the results. They were very professional and considerate throughout the whole process. They were always prompt and very flexible in terms of travel and other requests. Even our wedding coordinators told us privately after how splendid they were to work with! Julian has also worked with a few of my cousins as well and we've all been very satisfied with the end result. From the morning of to the end of the day, Julian does a fantastic job capturing every little moment. We also had our engagement photo shoot done with Julian as well. We highly recommend them to anyone who is looking to capture incredible photos of their special day or any special event.

From beginning to end Mike was very professional and showed so much patience. He contacted me back very quickly. My first conversation with him was like I already knew him. His communication was excellent and it stayed that way and as a bride that is a priority. On our wedding day he was prompt and from watching him I could see how passionate he is about his work. I couldn’t wait to get our video back! The video is like reliving my wedding day all over again. He captured the day from every angle so we were able to see everything we missed throughout the day. The day goes by so fast and we can’t thank Mike enough for capturing the day so beautifully. Him and his team were fun to work with and they worked so well with my other vendors.

Beloved Getaways was the best decision we made in planning our destination wedding to the Bahamas!! Mindi took such good care of us and our guests. From setting travel arrangements & accommodations to making sure everyone had their travel documents and itinerary, Mindi helped everyone get the biggest bang for their buck and take all the stress out of planning an international trip; things could not have gone more smoothly! She was a fantastic liaison for us with the resort; she helped us plan the ceremony, etc..., and even helped us organize an amazing off-property excursion for our whole wedding party the next day. For anyone considering a destination wedding or even a romantic getaway, we absolutely encourage you to contact Beloved Getaways. We wouldn't dream of planning any of our next trips without Mindi either!

Dear Heart Film + Portraits

I created Dear Heart Film + Portraits in college when I realized just how much I love photographing other people. It started with fun-loving seniors and now has developed into capturing adventurous couples who are so unashamedly in love.

We just had our wedding on 11/17/2023 and I cannot say enough amazing things about Shelby and her team who worked with us on our big day! From the very beginning Shelby was literally amazing, she is super supportive, kind, and organized. When we first got engaged, I talked with a few different photographers over email but Shelby was the only one I felt like matched our style, vibes, and her personality was also a great fit for us. When we did the intro zoom call, I felt like we were a great fit! My husband and I are more on the casual side of things for photography, never big fans of posing for the cameras but Shelby made us feel comfortable during our engagement session so I knew she was the right fit and I couldn’t wait for the wedding photos! Fast forward almost 1.5 years later, Shelby created detailed schedules and met with us a few times to go over the details of the wedding day. She has super detailed forms that you get to fill out to make sure you get everything you want on the day of. I will say, the schedule that she made was SUPER helpful, I sent it to Hair/MUA as well as my bridal party so everyone knew where and when to be at certain times throughout the day. Finally it was the big day! Shelby was scoping out the venue early and started taking the detail shots (dresses, perfume, rings, etc)! We also had a second photographer and videography included in our package. What I loved most about our experience with Shelby is that she was just a calm and confident presence during our big day. I feel like sometimes people get flustered, nervous, jittery, etc with everything going on but Shelby was there for us whether it be cheering us on to get the perfect shot, encouraging us to get that kiss, directing family members so we didn’t have to, or holding on to our tissues for all the happy tears. Shelby also is mindful of what YOU (the couple) want on your big day. If you change your mind about certain poses or things you want to do throughout the night, no big deal, Shelby goes with the flow! I loved all of the natural poses that she put us in and we are literally IN LOVE with all the sneak peeks she sent us. We can’t wait to see the entire gallery as well as our wedding video in a few months! Shelby, thank you for everything you and your team did, you are so incredibly talented and amazing! I would HIGHLY recommend using Shelby at Dear Heart Films for your wedding!! 100000/10!!

La Mila Catering & Events

  • Starts at $75
  • Serves Avalon, NJ

Starting their careers in the restaurant and food industry, Elie & Heidi Hanna decided to utilize their unique experiences and create their own vision of a full service event company. La Mila is named after their daughter, Milana, who provides them with limitless inspiration and motivation.

This review is a tad long so bear with me. I worked with La Mila Catering for my sister’s wedding which was held on 27 July 2024. While planning my wedding a few years ago I knew what to expect and what questions to ask. What I didn’t expect was working with such a lovely and genuine team. I worked with Sandy specifically for catering services only. She’s spunky, lively, knowledgeable, and accommodating. Working with her has been a pleasure and I felt as if I were talking to one of my best friends. Sandy is a great salesperson. She not only explains what La Mila offers but she does it in a way that is transparent and has no unexpected costs and “fine print”. She communicates well and is direct, which I appreciate. She’s a talker and I don’t mean that negatively. She makes you feel like family most sincerely. In terms of planning and coordination, Sandy was excellent and they’re lucky to have her. Menu: When creating the menu my sister wanted Mediterranean food. Now, I believe that their specialty is Mediterranean cuisine, but they do not shy away from other cuisines. Their menu is extensive and will cater to anyone’s taste. Skies the limit! We had quite a bit of offerings for Cocktail hour, Dinner, and Dessert. We were able to have a tasting which helped us narrow down if what was selected previously was what they wanted for the day of the wedding. There we met Elie (E-Lee NOT El-lee) and Heidi, the owners, and Sandy in person. Elie is the head chef and knows what he’s doing in the kitchen. Everything was cooked to perfection; delicious tasting and the portions were filling. Aside from the food it was obvious that Elie and Heidi work hard for their business and are truly dedicated. Day of the wedding: Elie, Heidi and their team worked based on the wedding timeline that I created. They were on time to serve all their food. I can’t tell you how many times I saw Elie walking back and forth to check on food and to bring food. That guy was moving! Heidi did all of the cocktail and dessert table placement and more. They are a hardworking team and I highly recommend them. From start to finish it was easy and perfectly executed. Point blank the food was delicious and I wish they had a restaurant so I could eat there all the time. LOL Thank you again for your friendship, delicious food and professionalism. *I wish I took pictures.
