Hey there, I’m David! I’m a down-to-earth wedding photographer based in NJ, born and raised with strong family values that keep me grounded. My passion is capturing genuine connections and turning fleeting moments into timeless memories. When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll find me spending time with my three dogs! My mission is to capture beautifully real, candid moments—big or small—so you can relive them forever.

Awarded Best of Zola
David was exactly what we were hoping for in a photographer and I couldn’t have asked for someone better to capture our perfect day. From our first phone call to getting our photos, David has been there for us and going above and beyond to help us and make sure our planning was going okay and just life in general. We were looking for a creative photographer to put their own spin on our photos and get some unique poses and shots and David checked that box over and over again. David uses modern technology to ensure he captures the best of your moments and enhances the environment around you for just an even better product. Above all, we felt like we made a friend due to David’s positive attitude, the laughs we shared, and eagerness to capture YOUR moment. He is obviously a master of his craft and I recommend him to anyone that is looking for creativity in their photos, while also still capturing classy and classic poses. David is an incredible photographer that I simply can’t recommend enough.

A small studio in Union NJ with big plans! I have been a photographer for 6 years working as a freelancer. Like back in the day, learning on the field is the best way to learn everything about photography. Starting a Zola is the first step to branch from a freelancer to a business owner / photographer. I'm starting my own business for my baby, Xavier. Working at your wedding helps me be with my family longer.

He made us feel comfortable and relaxed throughout the entire process, which really showed in the natural and authentic photos we received. Davide’s professionalism and passion for his craft were evident every step of the way. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer who will go above and beyond to make your memories unforgettable. Thank you, Davide!

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 loved working with Christie Heimbach Photography for our wedding! Communication with Christie and our photographer Skye was super easy and quick - Christie always responded promptly to texts. We used an associate from her team, Skye, as our photographer which was a great option for our budget. The quality of Christie’s work is gorgeous - she has an amazing editing style that really brought out the best in our photos. For our rainy engagement shoot, Skye went the extra mile, trekking into mud and rain to capture candid shots of us laughing together. She made us feel at ease in front of the camera, guiding us into flattering poses while still keeping things lighthearted. We are obsessed with how our photos turned out - Skye perfectly captured the joy of our big day. They gave us stunning images we'll treasure forever. We highly recommend them to any couple looking for a talented, personable wedding photographer!

  • Serves Columbus, NJ

I'm Nikki! (Just Nikki - it's not short for anything!)​ There's nothing I love more than capturing memories. During my eight years as a professional photographer, I've photographed all kinds of people, places, and things, but I realized nothing gives me as much joy as illustrating the stories of people's lives through wedding photography. As much fun as it is spending time with the people I photograph, there's nothing quite like the serendipity of seeing those moments realized in photographs later. That's what I want to share with you, and I hope to provide happiness you can look back on and enjoy for years to come.

Awarded Best of Zola
Nikki did an amazing job shooting our wedding! The photos came out beautiful and exactly how I envisioned them. She is the sweetest person to work with and she works in a timely manner which is so hard to find in this field. My husband and I are incredibly grateful to Nikki and her second shooter Kate for capturing our special day and being there for us through the whole process!

Brittany was stellar to work with. She was calm, kind, and collected. She knows what couples want out of their wedding photos! We ended up with phenomenal shots of the wedding and reception as well as couples’ photos. We were hoping for mostly candid/action/natural shots and she delivered. She was also flexible with location- traveled to Princeton for our engagement photos and to Philly for our wedding! Highly recommend.

I like to focus on forming true relationships with my clients so they feel comfortable to let their personalities shine through. I like to consider my work to be a documentation of true candid moments as they unfold naturally, highlighting the uniqueness of each of my clients love for each other.

Awarded Best of Zola
We had a few recommendations for photographers, but when we came across Emily’s work on Zola and Instagram, we were instantly captivated. Her portfolio showcased not only her incredible talent but also her genuine passion for photography. From the start, Emily’s professionalism shone through. We’re a couple that doesn’t take photos very often, but she made us feel completely comfortable, and her natural ability to capture candid moments is unmatched. Emily has an exceptional eye for getting a variety of poses and using the scenery to create stunning images, and her artistic vision truly brought our engagement and wedding photos to life. Our wedding party was fairly large, but Emily handled it with so much patience, calling out names and groupings effortlessly to get every arrangement we had requested. Her second shooter, Wilson, was also a fantastic addition, honestly being a life saver for helping the groomsmen with their boutonnieres and capturing some key moments throughout the day. On our wedding day, Emily was the only vendor with us from start to finish, and she was a joy to work with. She collaborated seamlessly with our videographer, made sure we got in a few breathtaking sunset photos, and captured every detail of our wedding in a beautiful visual story. It truly feels like we’re reliving the day every time we look at her photos. From our initial call to the delivery of sneak peeks just a couple of days after the wedding, Emily was on top of everything. Her communication, even in the months leading up to the wedding via email, was excellent. Her photography packages had transparent pricing and clear deliverables, and she communicated everything with perfect clarity. I would 100000% recommend her to anyone. My husband even mentioned he hopes we have another reason to hire her in the future. Emily is a true professional with impeccable creativity and skill, and we can’t wait to see what she does next.

Hey there! I’m Kat, an emotive and conceptual photographer, melding candid, fine art, and photojournalist styles. One of the biggest joys I get out of photography is the magic of the moments themselves. To be able to present those moments to the clients, to treasure forever –especially if they didn’t even notice I caught it– brings a huge smile to my face. I pour my energy into making it the best experience I can for my clients. Sessions are about the experience, photos are just the icing on top! I strongly believe in the photos not looking forced, but the client doing what comes naturally to them. I want you to be yourself and have fun.

Awarded Best of Zola
I cannot say enough positive things about Kat! All I wanted as a bride were beautiful photos, captured memories and an easy day. Kat ensured all of those things came true. She was able to corral my family so effortlessly for group photos as well as come up with great ideas/location spots for us! Amazing and fast communication through every step of the way, all while being super kind and friendly; I felt so relaxed by her presence! And of course…the pictures are just beautiful! She started uploading them so quickly after the wedding too, as well as preparing our keepsake USB and making sure every detail was exactly what I wanted. Book with Kat for your wedding, seriously!

Awarded Best of Zola
As a wedding planner since 2005, I have long standing relationships with so many photographers and video teams whose work I truly admire. When choosing who to work with for my own wedding day, I went with my gut! I knew Jenn and Colin could make me laugh and tell me when I needed to relax... I knew Jenn could put our nine groomsmen in-line when we needed to get a shot... I knew she would take plenty of detail photos because I told her one hundred times how important it was to me... Most importantly I knew that both Jenn and Colin would put their whole heart and energy into documenting our two day celebration in a truly genuine way, ugly cries and all! Thank you for allowing us to be ourselves... For capturing all the moments we never want to forget ... Jenn, Colin and team you have given us a treasure of memories to keep and for that we are truly grateful!

My passion for photography stems from a deeply personal experience. What began as a senior thesis project alongside my beloved Grandmother quickly evolved into a profound journey of documenting precious moments. Today, I cherish those photographs as windows to the past, allowing me to relive poignant memories. I hope my clients can also find solace and joy in their own photographs, whether in times of loss, reminiscing about loved ones, or celebrating life's special events.

Awarded Best of Zola
Megan captured both my fiancé and my live proposal session in the summer and our engagement session in the fall, and she was absolutely incredible on both occasions! Her ability to beautifully capture the essence of each moment is truly remarkable. I often feel awkward in front of the camera, but Megan's warm and encouraging approach helped me relax and fully enjoy this special time in our lives. For our engagement session, I envisioned stunning cliff-side photos in the Poconos, surrounded by the vibrant fall foliage. Megan enthusiastically joined us on the hike, fully embracing the adventure and making the experience even more memorable. I wholeheartedly recommend her to all my loved ones and anyone seeking a passionate, fun, and talented photographer who can tell a story through her work. She truly has a gift for capturing life's most cherished moments!

If it were common practice to have a professional photographer capture every moment of the average person’s life, I’d have Andy on retainer; not only because of the OBVIOUS talent he possesses, but because of who I have come to know him to be as a person and professional. From the day I first spoke with Andy regarding our wedding, I was immediately at ease by his demeanor. He was professional, yet familiar and welcoming. I knew that he had been doing this a long time and that he knew exactly what he was doing. Andy was always incredibly responsive, while maintaining a light, friendly energy which made me feel comfortable. There was appropriate conversation between first contact and the wedding and I had zero questions for him going in, as everything had been thoroughly discussed prior. I couldn’t have been more excited. On the day of the wedding, Andy showed up slightly before I had expected him, and told me he had been scoping out the venue before his arrival, something I appreciated and did not expect. Andy kept a level head all day despite the stressful, sometimes unexpected events that come on wedding days, not to mention he maintained a sense of humor, patience and professionalism the entire time. Throughout the night, I witnessed Andy catching special moments happening before anyone knew they were happening. Somehow, he was everywhere all at once. I never had to look for him when something special happened. Flash forward to not more than a week after the wedding, Andy begins sending me edited highlight photos from the weekend and I can’t believe how incredible they are. The variety in shots, the tone and color palette of the photos, how he was able to capture the individual personalities of everyone in each photo despite having never met them.. I’ve never been more impressed by a professional artist before. And Andy absolutely is an artist. I will forever cherish these memories of our special day and I feel confident should I ever want another special moment captured, Andy will be my first phone call. Book him!! I promise you will not regret it. Thanks Andy! :)

Welcome to James Webb Photography, recently named the best photographer in the world by my daughter. My name is James and my goal is to tell your love story through powerful images. From your engagement session to your wedding day, my approach is laid back and relaxed while giving direction as needed. This is how I capture authentic and expressive images that tell the story of your most important moments.

I was in a few weddings that James shot previously, so I knew as soon as I got engaged that I needed to book him. James is SO talented. He has a unique eye for shots and creates stunning photos. I wanted pictures from my wedding that I could frame and hang on my walls, and less than a month after getting our pictures back, I already have three Smallwoods hanging on my walls. He is such a pleasure to work with and definitely brings the energy to keep you smiling in your photos all day. I will continue singing his praises and recommend him to anyone who is looking for a wedding photographer.

We make it our mission to anticipate emotional, exciting, and most of all memorable moments that you will be thrilled and astonished to discover we captured on your wedding day. Dad breaking down seeing you in your dress, nothing but smiles on your rainy wedding day, your favorite little person dumping her flowers on herself right before you make your way up the aisle, The final goodbyes after the most uncoordinated sparkler lighting event in history. These are the authentic moments I would want to remember on my wedding day, so that’s the way we are going to capture yours. (You can find all of these images in our portfolio).

Dan and his team are amazing, talented and super friendly. They helped me create my wedding day timeline so precisely and kept us all organized and not stressed! Lauren is so awesome - she even got in our dance circle during our reception. Dan did our engagement photos as well and many people complimented their work and natural looking/bright and light editing style, telling my husband and me how beautiful the photos came out (and we agreed!). I personally always feel awkward in photos but you would never know it from their coaching and talented staff. Best value for photographers in the NJ/Philly/NY area.

My wedding photography philosophy is super simple - keep it fun, keep it natural and keep it YOU. I’ve been photographing weddings since 2015 and have shot well over 300 weddings. I'm a lover of candid photos, but also know the importance of formal photos as well, so I provide a good mix of both traditional and photojournalistic styles. I approach wedding photography with a personal touch, understanding the depth of love and the significance of moments both big and small. My goal is to create timeless images that reflect the uniqueness of YOU and tell your love story.

one of the absolute best decisions we made when we got engaged was booking Allison for our wedding. She is one of the kindest people, and made us feel so comfortable during both our engagement shoot and our wedding day. our bridal party and families also loved working with her and our photos are STUNNING. the turnaround time on our photos shocked us in the best way possible - she had our whole album to us less than a month after the wedding. she felt like a friend and made our day so seamless. we couldn't recommend her more - book right away if you're thinking about it!!!
