Hidden Gem Visuals 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,250
  • Serves Carteret, NJ

Welcome to Hidden Gem Visuals! We are are an Award Winning Photography Company and provide services to NJ, NY, PA, and CT. The owner, Geoff (Jeff), will personally be the photographer at your wedding to ensure everything goes smoothly!

Geoff from Hidden Gem Visuals was amazing from start to finish! I decided on a photographer for my civil wedding at the very last minute; about 1-2 days prior to the big day. He was extremely responsive and easy to talk to. To top things off, his price was very competitive as well! On the actual wedding day he arrived 15 minutes early and was ready to go. Geoff was courteous, professional, and extremely kind! He efficiently directed our group of 15 people while simultaneously capturing beautiful pictures. As a bonus, I want to commend his attention to detail as Geoff addressed some members of my family by name despite me not even formerly introducing them yet! Upon completion of group photos, my husband and I then did a private photo session. Perhaps the most impressive thing about Geoff was his ability to make our environment appear a lot more beautiful and eye-catching than it really was. For reference, we were surrounded by government buildings, court houses and municipal property. However, his attention to detail and on-the-spot creativity set the scene for something much more amazing. In fact, some of my favorite shots were taken under very simple arch ways, greenery and benches you would normally pass daily without any thought. Geoff’s use of natural sunlight was the icing on the cake to add that extra cinematic feel to already flawlessly captured images. Lastly, the turn-around time for our photos was very quick and we were extremely happy with how everything turned out. Thank you, Geoff, for beautifully capturing one of the most important days of my life. I cannot recommend him enough!

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.

Kamelia and Allyson nailed it! From consultation to wedding day, I couldn’t have asked for anything better. They worked really hard to bring our vision to life and we’re such an important part of a day that we will never forget. Besides being awesome people they are so amazing at what they do. Best decision ever.!!!

Carolina Wahnish Rivera Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Carteret, NJ

When I was a little girl, my favorite part about making the trip to Argentina to visit my grandparents, was rummaging through their old boxes of prints on a rainy day and just imagining life through those photos. I think that's what started my passion for photography. Knowing that a photo can have such an impact on a child, someone who hasn't even met you yet, makes taking them all the more meaningful. I am passionate about making meaningful images for others because I know how important those photos will be in the future.

Awarded Best of Zola
We had the absolute pleasure of working with Carolina for our wedding, and we couldn’t be happier with our decision! From the very beginning, she made us feel comfortable and at ease, which was such a relief for two people who aren’t always the most comfortable in front of the camera. Her pre-wedding connection shoot was a fantastic way for us to get to know her better and for her to understand our personalities and what we were looking for. It was a great way to break the ice and helped us feel much more relaxed on the big day. Throughout the entire process, Carolina was not only professional but also genuinely kind and attentive. She truly went above and beyond, even giving us a few sneak peek shots early, which was such a thoughtful touch and helped us relive some of the best moments right away. We couldn't have asked for a better photographer. She captured our day in such a beautiful, authentic way, and we are so grateful for all her hard work. If you're looking for someone who is not just talented but also warm and genuinely cares about making you feel comfortable and happy, we highly recommend Carolina!!

Hi! I'm Naomi, a wedding and portrait photographer passionate about what I do. I strive to build a relationship with my clients, making a connection that enables me to bring out the best in them and capture it with my camera. I love to work with natural light, and my work strikes a perfect balance between photo-journalistic and traditional. Based in scenic Hunterdon County, and lucky to use my beautiful surroundings as a backdrop for my work.

If we could give Naomi 100000000 stars we would! She was amazing from the first time we spoke with her and still continues to be amazing to this day! We got married in June, in the heart of the pandemic. And she was so kind about all of it. She makes you feel so comfortable in front of the camera, which is one thing I was worried about- both my husband and myself are pretty awkward with posing.. but she was able to capture all of it like nothing. And she did it with the biggest smile on her face the whole time! And most importantly, her photos turned out BEAUTIFULLY. I still scroll through them at least once or twice a week and it’s now months later. She captured EVERYTHING. Highly HIGHLY recommended.

Photography by Fabienne 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,499
  • Serves Carteret, NJ

First and foremost, I care about capturing your vision. Fabienne has been passionate about photography and capturing moments of beauty long before she officially started her business. Years ago, a friend asked Fabienne to photograph her intimate backyard wedding. In doing so, she discovered that she could share her passion and talents with the world. That same year she launched her business shooting weddings, and later expanded to newborns and families after the birth of her daughter. Additionally, she has over 10 years experience in commercial photography.

Fabienne is a true artist and a true professional. She photographed my wedding, and we've worked together on many photography projects since then as well. Before planning my wedding, I didn't think that choosing a great wedding photographer was super important for me, and didn't think it would be a top priority. I was wrong! I can't believe how much I treasure my gorgeous wedding photos. Fabienne knows how to make every shot beautiful, and she's inventive and creative in her approach. Plus, she really understands the logistical challenges of a wedding and knows how to make the process as stress-free as possible. She listens to what you want, and she'll make sure that you get every photo your heart desires.

In the 20 years that I've been photographing professionally, I’ve honed my skill of knowing when to step in and make things happen, and when to step back and simply *allow* things to happen. Documenting the REAL emotion of the day is how we capture those picture-perfect moments. They happen organically, not by force, and I promise you: we're not going to miss ANY of them. = )

We chose Christopher to photograph and videograph our sangeet celebration rather last minute as we were busy planning everything else, so it was quite a relief and so helpful to see how swiftly he communicated with us and delivered on such wonderful memories. Christopher was amazing to work with - as we had wanted, the posed photos were quick (yet came out incredible). We asked him to focus on the celebration and dancing and we couldn't be happier with how everything turned out. We highly recommend Christopher -- thank you for making our evening so special!!

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).

You MUST use Hyde Photography for your wedding & engagement photos!!!! We came across Hyde Photography through Instagram and we immediately fell in love with how beautiful and crisp his photos are. After meeting with Seth, we knew he was essential for our engagement and wedding photos. Seth is so professional and immediately makes you feel at ease. On our wedding day it POURED rain and the second he showed up for pics, every single anxiety/stress we had disappeared. He had us dancing in the rain and made sure we got every photo we planned on getting. Our families are still raving about how awesome he was. We've already received some pictures from our wedding and we are BLOWN AWAY by how gorgeous they are. HIGHLY RECOMMEND for your engagement & wedding pictures!!!

Roaming with a camera, I capture the candid moments and small details that make your wedding unique to you, while making sure to set aside time for a few special portraits.

Stephanie was an incredible photographer for our engagement shoot and then our actual wedding day! At our first shoot, she worked through posing with us and helped us to get comfortable with both the camera and each other in a way that really helped remove any potential awkwardness or stiffness for our wedding day. Throughout the lead up to the wedding, she was prompt and communicative, responding quickly to ideas and inspirations we had and in general helping assuage any concerns that arose. On the day of, she was a STAR. Steph joined us early in the day for some getting ready shots and from that point on, blended so seamlessly into the background that I was genuinely surprised the 3 times I saw her (all 3x were to grab us for agreed upon shots with family, friends and each other). Our wedding guests were equally impressed with how unintrusive she was throughout the ceremony and dinner - something I appreciate so deeply as we wanted this to feel like a fun night out with friends in Brooklyn, and she inherently understood what we were going for, which was reflected in both her presence and the photos, On the photos, they were STUNNING. We wanted several vogue-esque posed photos with our wedding party and then more in the moment capture of the rest of the night, and Steph nailed it. Every photo felt thoughtfully curated, and the entire collection represented our day perfectly. All key moments were captured along with some wonderful ones that I wasn't aware of as I was too busy dancing. Our dog was part of the wedding, and Steph worked so wonderfully with him, incorporating him in all important shots and in general, loved on our little guy so much. In conclusion, Steph is thoughtful and talented - a dream of a vendor and an asset to any event you would hire her for!

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
I don't even know where to START!!!! This gal immediately became part of the crew from the first photos with the bridesmaids to the end of the night rager! Angelica and her second shooter were both incredible start to finish. Great at going with the flow but also making sure to get those photos that I had on my shot list (no matter how hard everyone was making that haha!) She had the best energy that helped me not feel nervous at all and honestly empowered from the start. She got so many amazing details that we are literally having a viewing party with all of our local guests because we just cannot choose which photos to post. I chose her because her photos and galleries all looked so different but one common theme was everyone looked like they were 1. having fun and 2. being themselves. Personally posed photos aren't for me. So when I saw her galleries I knew I wanted her above all other photographers. And I had a chart of 21 that I researched but after my first meeting with her I was sold. I chose three photos for this review- one of her capturing the insanity of our hair at the reception, Angelica being a part of the crew (my dad mentioned 3 times how great she was and how much he loved her and the second shooter) and the one where she truly shows her style of capturing natural excitement in the people and world around her.

Awarded Best of Zola
We are so lucky to have had Anecdote Photography as our wedding photographers. From the moment we first spoke with them, their communication style was immediate, detail-oriented, friendly, and respectful. The quality of their work was flawless - the photos are beautiful and creative, and they had such an easygoing presence that put us at ease on our wedding day. Eddie, our lead photographer, was one of the best parts of our special day. He was extremely organized and helped lay out the timeline perfectly, and he was so thoughtful - he even had extra bobby pins on hand when my hair needed a touch-up, and he helped the groomsmen with their boutonnieres at the church. We cannot recommend Anecdote Photography highly enough - their attention to detail is impeccable, and they are truly wonderful to work with. Please consider them for your next event!
