5Cents Media 

5.0

  • Videographer
  • Storytelling style
  • Starts at $599
  • Serves Dorchester, NJ

I have worked in the photography and video field for almost 10 years, 5 of which I have operated under my own business. In the last two years my company 5Cents Media has been awarded Best of Fast.com for 2020 and 2021 for Photography and Video. I have also been awarded Couples Choice for 2021 for Photography and Video.

Originally we didn't want a videographer. We thought it'd be too expensive and wouldn't fit in with our budget. Well last minute (I think it was January and our wedding was in April) I decided a videographer was a must. So began the searching. A lot of videographers are really expensive (5000-10000 depending on the package you select) and do not give you all the raw footage in the less expensive packages or you only have them for a few hours. After much research, I found Matt. Not only is he funny and a pleasure to work with, our wedding highlight video speaks for itself. Check it out on YouTube. We selected his mid range package, he was at the wedding the entire day (almost 12 hours, excluding travel), and we received all of the raw footage as well. Matt was truly able to capture all the fun in our day and we had a great time working with him. He is extremely laid back and responsive and bonds with the couples he works with. Even my husband, who really did not think we needed a videographer, was excited to see the video after the wedding! Matt also meets up with you in person to hand deliver your raw footage, ceremony video, highlight video, etc to make sure everything works and plays properly. I am so happy I not only got a videographer, but that we chose Matt for the job! Best wedding planning decision ever. You won't be disappointed.

NST Pictures

  • Videographer
  • Cinematic style
  • Starts at $4,980
  • Serves Dorchester, NJ

Our films are classic. No filters or vintage film styles that quickly date your video. You’ll be watching this for the rest of your life so we want to make sure it stands the test of time. Our artistic approach lies in finding the authentic moments, in between snapshots, where you’re swept up in excitement and emotion. We think of our films as moving family portraits. We offer affordable aerial drone, 4K, multi-day coverage & more from $4980.

I've been a wedding planner in NYC for over 8 years and NST Pictures have been my go-to videog team since the day we connected! I even hired them for my own wedding back in 2016. They're just really great to work with, the process is always very smooth and on the wedding day you won't have those crazy lights and giant cameras in your face, you won't even know they are there, which is the true beauty of working with them. They coordinate and work alongside your photography team and you get to just live in the moment, and soak up every second of fun on your wedding day all while not being posed or interrupted to re-do something. Then when the final video edits are being made and you have that final product you can also really appreciate why you chose to hire a videographer. They capture live moments in action that you just can't get with still photography. Knowing what I know now I would ensure to hire NST Pictures for my wedding day over and over again, they're truly amazing!

Nithya Sharma Photography

  • Starts at $1,800
  • Serves Dorchester, NJ

I've been in love with the art of photography for as long as I can remember, and I'm truly blessed to be able to pursue my passion every day. Growing up all over the world (Sweden, India, and Denmark to name a few!), my love of photography grew from my desire to capture the places and people I wanted to remember the most. What I love most is the incredible honor of being part of your special day and capturing the deep emotions behind the photograph.

Nithya is a wonderful photographer- very easy to work with and flexible. We just received our pictures and they’re exactly what I asked for! Nithya was such a calming presence during our wedding and extremely professional and helpful. We’re both people who are a bit camera shy which probably made Nithya’s job so much harder - and yet - she made every effort to make us comfortable.

We are a boutique wedding film company based out of Central Jersey. The owner (Hans) started the company in 2015 and has since then filmed over 150 weddings. We make films with that blend authenticity and artistry.

Booking Hans as our wedding videographer might have been the best decision that I made throughout planning the entire wedding. He captured everything so beautifully and adds a very professional artistic touch in his editing style. I cannot tell you how many times I have re-watched our wedding highlight video (and I normally don't enjoy watching videos of myself). It was like re-living the whole day over again - he captured all of the emotions, excitement, and fun throughout the day. He and his team were so great to work with throughout the process.

Take it from us... marriage is not all sunshine and rainbows, but when looking back on photos and videos from your day, you'll remember the love you had from the beginning... not all the other "fluff." Being able to work together as a husband and wife team has been an amazing journey, but growing this company and establishing a trustworthy and talented group of creatives to serve our couples has become really important to us . We value the relationship you have and your love is all that matters. That's all that's left after the wedding anyway... and your photos and videos too of course.

Kristen and Christian and their team are wonderful!! From our engagement photos to the wedding day everything was just easy with them. They don’t bring crazy bulky equipment that gets in the way, we hardly even noticed they were there which was so nice when you just want to twirl around all night. The photos speak for themselves, they’re everything we hoped for, and we even got our sneak preview pics the next day which the family loved!!! Our wedding day was dark (December) and poured rain the whole time and yet the photos are crystal clear and oh so stunning. We chose Dearly Beloved because they do a great job in darker settings and they did not disappoint! To any bride in a twinkle lit setting, these are your photographers.

Raven Productions is an entertainment company that provides amazing, entertaining and engaging singers and musicians that have traveled the world and performed with the best recording artists and entertainers and when we hit the stage you see our passion with every performance.

Our 50th wedding anniversary was an event of a lifetime for us. We gathered fifty of the most important people in our lives for a black-tie gathering in New York City. Because friends came from all over the world, it was important to us to create an extraordinary evening for them to enjoy. The setting was magnificent, the food extraordinary and Patrice and the Show perfection. From our first meeting to that wonderful night, there is not one thing they didn't hit out of the park. Communication was prompt and clear and their logistic preparation flawless, which took a great weight off our shoulders. When I called Patrice two weeks before the event and told her I wanted to sing my toast to my husband, she was so encouraging and supportive. I sent a youtube video of the Tina Turner song I was going to sing, we spoke on the phone and that night it went off like we had rehearsed endlessly! If you have a chance to book them, don't hesitate. They are Simply the Best!

Hi, I am a multi-cultural wedding photographer, with a taste for bold and vibrant imagery, authentic moments and a dash of glamor. Emotions drive my passion for the art form, and human connections guide me. Born and raised in another hemisphere, I have traveled since. Everywhere I went, my camera allowed me to capture the story behind the people I met & the cultures I observed. I bring the same drive to my wedding photography, where every couple, every family, and all the cultures and traditions I come across, have a different story to tell, and I have the privilege to witness and capture it all!

Abhi is incredibly great to work with! Super professional and always fun. I love his creativity and he communicates really well; which I can appreciate.

A hopeless romantic and people person, I found my true passion when working in the bridal industry. I love getting to meet excited brides, connecting with them to learn about their vision, how they dreamed of the perfect wedding so I can bring that to life! Being able to give them the gift of confidence on their wedding day is truly a special part of my job. Building a friendship is a by-product, and I have become friends with so many of my brides, staying connected years after the wedding, and even glamming them up for other big milestones of their journey, like maternity pictures and baby showers!

Juliana and her team made my wedding day SO special. From the moment I met Juliana (she came with the highest endorsements), to the proposal process, to my trial, to my day, I understood that I was working with a true professional. Not only is she insanely talented at making you look your absolute best, she is caring, friendly, communicative, and can understand your vision and push it even further than you thought. I have NEVER felt more beautiful in my entire life and will hire her again and again and again. She is masterclass! All of my bridesmaids said they felt gorgeous and had the same experience.

Day of the wedding I was BLOWN AWAY— the flowers took my breath away. They made a very traditional wedding venue into an upscale location. I cannot thank the team enough. The flowers was something I didn’t have to worry about and I owe that all to Robyn and team. I plan on using them for my baby shower in summer.

He visited the ceremony and reception sites in advance to scope them out, and he told me about how the sunlight affected the timing of what photos he took where. He was also great fun taking engagement photos. I could not have asked for a better wedding photographer.

Hi! I’m Gary Pope, your inclusive photographer for FOLK(X) of all sorts based out of Hartford, CT but you can find me shooting photos all over New England. I’m a self-proclaimed-ex-D-list-board-game-Youtube-celebrity who is really just a closet geek at heart. When people first meet me they think I’m definitely an extrovert, but the way I describe it is that I’m DEFINITELY an introvert (nothing beats staying home to play board games and video games!) but I most certainly have a huge battery from my upbringing.

As a venue coordinator, we work with many different vendors. Gary is great to work with, responds quickly and is easy to work with onsite. He's friendly and has great attention to detail. The couples he's worked with at my venue have had great experiences with him. Would definitely recommend!

I've been shooting unique, non-traditional, very-traditional, queer, straight, weird, normal, sexy, just-plain-fun weddings for over a decade now. Don't think your wedding falls into that category? Don't be so sure. Your unique love deserves to be documented whoever that may look. If you want bad-ass photography that stands out, all while having fun doing it, we're what you've been looking for. Let's connect. We'd love to hear your love story.

I haaaate having my photo taken. I was super anxious about the whole process going into it. It takes a certain amount of trust to let someone photograph you... Jay and his Bellocq team were A from start to finish. We were blown away by A) the sheer amount of photos given back (they don't cap their packages at certain photo counts) and B) how seamlessly the entire collection flowed together from start to finish. We couldn't have asked for more. We will definitely be re-booking them for our family photos (first baby on the way!!!) in the future. Jay is incredibly kind and fun to be around, and just puts you at ease. That is the first thing you'll notice when you meet. Can't recommend Bellocq enough!!!

Hi there! I’m Michelle, the wedding photographer behind Michelle Lynn Weddings. I love authentic, timeless, and joyful photographs, and I’m drawn to photographing weddings with a mix of romantic, natural portraits and a photojournalistic style. I have an easygoing, go-with-the-flow & positive personality that my clients find very calming and reassuring.

Michelle was phenomenal from the start. Before booking we met up at a Panera to see if we had the same idea for what was important in a photographer. Her packages were reasonably priced and included an engagement session. I never thought I'd want one but boy was I glad to have one. We were able to get comfortable posing in front of a camera and we also learned what poses we liked and what ones we really didn't like. Michelle quickly got us our engagement photos. We were able to view and download them from her website! On the day of the wedding, Michelle and her 2nd shooter were both on time and professional, but since we had the engagement shoot it felt like we were seeing friends again. She made sure to get the shots that I had requested but also captured the details I didn't even think of. After the wedding Michelle again quickly got our photos to us online but then also sent us a beautiful package with a flash drive that included the engagement shoot and some prints as well. Michelle even took the time for us to look through and find some additional photos of my husbands grandfather after he passed away. She is truly amazing. I cannot recommend Michelle enough, she was spectacular through the entire process. If you want an amazing photographer and wonderful human then she is your girl!

Lil’ Chop is here to offer quick, yet quality hair services. We’ve taken Headchop’s top requested chop and styling services to create an atmosphere providing to our folks on the go! Our express studio provides perks with quarterly memberships, group bookings for you plus a crew, and a genuinely new way to experience being taken care of ;)

More than anything, I wanted to look like myself on my wedding day. That meant I was committed to wearing a curly hairstyle with my natural texture. After searching for curl specialists near my venue in the Hudson Valley (and striking out repeatedly), I asked my hairdresser if anyone at Lil' Chop did weddings. As it turned out, Martha Ellen Mabry, the shop's owner, loves styling clients for their big day and was available for my date. Booking her was a no-brainer. I felt an instant connection and trust with Martha Ellen, who worked closely with me in our trial to ensure that my updo was not only the look I wanted but comfortable to wear for many, many hours. On my wedding day, she was a bright, calm and fun presence, and she totally nailed the look that everyone was hoping to achieve. My hair looked amazing all night, and the pins were placed so comfortably that I was able to fall asleep with the updo in. I'm so grateful that Martha Ellen was able to be part of my team, and I couldn't recommend her more highly.

My daughter had a rather unusual song request for her wedding processional and Lucia collaborated with a family friend who plays the flute to make it happen! The music was wonderful and the combination of Lucia on harp and Vlada on violin far exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend Lucia Marone and South Jersey Harpists.

Red Oyster USA 

5.0

  • Caterer
  • Serves Dorchester, NJ

We are a boutique catering business, specialized in Oystertaining people. Our Oystertainers open fresh oysters on the spot while entertaining your guests. The oysters come from carefully selected oysterfarms in the Northern East coast of US/Canada. With their outgoing personality, our Oystertainers know how to persuade almost anybody to eat oysters. The founder, Matijn Wijn, started the company 20 years ago in the Netherlands. He is driven by a passion for oysters and when he introduced Oystertainment® it was an overnight success. We also run oyster bars at world leading art fairs like Art Basel and TEFAF. Let's Oystertain you!

If you have the opportunity to book Red Oyster USA for your event you 100% should! First off the booking experience was above and beyond with customer service, answering all of my questions promptly and with ease. My husband and I renewed our vows on a rooftop in New York City December 30. My husband and a lot of our guests enjoy oysters so I thought this would be the perfect addition to our reception! We had the pleasure of having Sophia as our Oystertainer for the evening. She was AMAZING!!! She was extremely friendly and helpful! I was not much of an oyster person before, but she had me try them a couple of different ways and I did find one that actually worked really well for me. If it wasn’t for her knowledge and guiding I probably would’ve never tried them and now I am a fan! The Oystertainer was really another amazing staple to our evening and I am so glad we were able to book them. I would book them each time I had an event if I was given the opportunity, I highly suggest you do the same!!!! You won’t regret it!!! Now I will have to wait until they expand to Oklahoma (hint,hint) to book again!
