DJ Heywood 

5.0

  • DJ
  • Starts at $2,600
  • Serves East Orange, NJ

Our DJ company starts with vibing with our clients. We feel that is really really important. By taking the time to listen to your vision with a quick chat we can tell a-lot about each other and see if we are a match. Picky sometimes to a fault we realize every couple is not our couple and do not just book couples just to fill the calendar. Thats not fair to either of us. At the end of any event we usually are good friends and miss talking to each other. You wouldn't have it any other way.

Awarded Best of Zola
If you go with DJ Heywood, your wedding is guaranteed to be a celebration to remember! My wife and I knew after one consultation with him that he was our top pick! With Mark you have a marriage (pardon the pun) :) of professionalism, fun and ease. He knows how to get the party going and truly listens to you. He went out of his way to help us and we cannot say enough good about him. Going with DJ Heywood means you will not be disappointed!

BWC Photos (Brotha With A Camera)

  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $1,800
  • Serves East Orange, NJ

Greetings! My name is Lionel and I am a full time traveling photographer from New Jersey that specializes in Weddings and Events on the east coast. I've been practicing both photography and videography for going on 10 years now and from the moment I picked up a camera I absolutely fell in love with it. Its difficult to not sound cliche but capturing once in a lifetime moments and then seeing the reaction of clients and their families is a rush and satisfaction that you just can not get anywhere else. Not everyone in life is able to realize their passion but I am thankful that I have found mine and I wouldn't trade it for the world.

I wish I could give Lionel more than 5 stores because he truly is an immaculate photographer. My husband and I decided to have a smaller, more intimate wedding and Lionel elevated the entire day for us. From pre-ceremony pics, during the ceremony and afterwards he was absolutely professional, joyous to my hubby and our guests and he captured all of the quirky moments that are the essence of our love. He has a keen eye for detail and finds beauty in every aspect of the room to capture. I highly recommend Lionel aka Brotha with a Camera for your wedding needs no matter how big or small.

Portraits By Lisa Marie

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,000
  • Serves East Orange, NJ

As a natural light photographer, I have a deep love for capturing the most beautiful moments that life presents. My passion lies in preserving these precious memories through my lens. I strive to showcase the magic and authenticity found in everyday moments. Through my photography, I aim to create images that inspire and evoke emotions in those who view them.

Lisa was hands down one of my top vendors for my September 2024 wedding. Ultimately when booking vendors we had two non- negotiables- affordability and character. I met with several photographers before her and either their pricing was not within our range or I didn’t feel any “connection” with them. When I met Lisa over FaceTime I was in Target with my two toddlers because I had my schedule mixed up. She laughed about it and we were able to have a productive meeting despite the mix up. I hired Lisa not long after and I am so glad I did. Besides from being a phenomenal photographer, her personality is what put the cherry on top. She is detail oriented and assertive - like myself- and had a very efficient way of photographing our bridal party where we were even able to enjoy our cocktail hour without having a first look. She was excellent and extremely patient with our two kids. Our family loved her as did we! We were even able to get her out on the dance floor for a bit! We wish we didn’t live so far away otherwise we would be using her as our photographer a whole lot. Thank you Lisa for being such an important part of our day and for having such an incredible heart.

Hello! I'm Jandi, a spirited photographer dedicated to capturing unforgettable moments with passion and creativity. Photography, for me, is more than just a profession, it's a desire to live in the intense moments. The ability to tell stories through visuals is a power that never ceases to amaze me. My journey into the world of photography began with a fascination to take a photograph and have that moment forever, and since then, it has evolved into a relentless pursuit of preserving that moment.

Awarded Best of Zola
Jandi and her second shooter Joe were absolutely great to work with! Super friendly and energetic. We’re definitely a camera shy couple but they made photos a fun and easy experience. They also didn’t give us any weird looks when our friends inevitably goofed off and suggested a photo of my maid of honor pretending to stab the groom or the best man suggestively riding a rake we found on the ground or even when the groom insisted Joe hop in a group photo with all the other Joseph’s attending the wedding (there were several) My husband who absolutely hates having his photo taken has already told me he intends to only use Jandi for any future events or occasions that will require professional photos so I consider that the highest praise possible from him lol You should absolutely hire Jandi if you want a comfortable and enjoyable experience!

I am known for my effortless updos, and glamorous waves! I decided to create Fluff Me because as a new mom going to a salon was a mission. What better place to get a blowout other than the comfort of my own surroundings! We pride ourselves of consistency of quality styling and positive professional attitudes.

I had the ABSOLUTE PLEASURE of working with Fania and her team (Christie and Sydney) this past September for my wedding. They were essential in bringing my vision to life and creating beautiful memories that will last a lifetime! Fania was extremely responsive and pleasant to work with throughout the entire process from booking, to the trial, to the big day. On the day of, they were timely (even running early - which with 15 girls to glam is not only impressive to say the least, but also allowed for a stress free environment all morning), and as a bride I couldn't have been more grateful. From the second they arrived until after my second look for my reception (a full 12 hour day for them), the attention to detail, the talent and the energy they brought is absolutely unmatched. My day would not have been the same without them! I speak for myself and all of my girls when I say that we have never felt more beautiful. I have been singing their praises from the rooftop to anyone who will listen and will continue to do so! If you're a soon-to-be bride I would HIGHLY recommend booking with Fania and her team!

Dayna is an absolutely fantastic businesswoman, and a true artist! Her before/after photos show off her skill - what isn't shown is how lovely the make-up *feels* and how easy it is to wear! Communicating with Dayna was so easy - she guided me through the wedding trial and day-of process with detailed and focused e-mails (my preferred method of contact). I was never uncertain of her professionalism or reliability. As a bride, juggling vendors can be so time-consuming, and I never had worry about asking a million follow-up questions with Dayna - she made it all so simple and still made me feel special. I had complete confidence that the bridal party prep would be executed perfectly - and it absolutely was! She and her assistant needed so little from us and worked so efficiently while still having fun! Beyond all of this, Dayna is the gentlest person who brings a welcome calm to a chaotic time.

Before I ever held a camera, as a kid I was obsessed with organizing and reorganizing printed family snapshots in albums. This infatuation with captured moments, led to picking out my first film camera, a 35mm Pentax, film developing and darkroom printing in high school, and then my BFA in Photography Degree. From there, I worked in varied sectors of photography, but my true passion lay in documentary work that could bring about awareness of challenging global situations. I have published and exhibited journalistic series internationally, notably at Oxford University and Aperture Foundation.

Jenny is an absolute gem! We are so happy we found her to photograph our modern beach wedding at The Wave in Long Branch, NJ. Jenny has an amazing eye and took advantage of all the beautiful aspects of the venue allowing for a great variety of photos. And a good mix of candid and posed shots. It was so apparent that takes such pride in her work and loves the art, making us feel so comfortable and calm the entire time. Both my husband and I are camera shy but Jenny gave us clear direction and took into consideration everything we were and weren’t looking for. Jenny and Camilla were also extremely flexible and supportive the entire day. We can’t thank them enough for their enthusiasm and dedication. It’s so apparent in their work.

Awarded Best of Zola
Let’s start with “WOW!” We had a music festival themed wedding with four bands so music was a critical piece of our wedding weekend and the standards were high. We interviewed over 20 bands from the NYC area and decided to go with Vitamin M after really vibing with their band leader, JJ. And boy are we glad we did! JJ worked with us to curate the perfect performance for us and our guests. He was able to balance dance songs and classics alongside some custom requests that went off the beaten path of most traditional weddings from the likes of The Band, Talking Heads and The Clash. He even helped us surprise our guests with a singing introduction of the bride and groom. He took time to get to know us and was always happy to answer any questions we had. This was not a cookie cutter wedding band performance. This is a group of truly talented professional musicians putting on a real show. Our guests and even our vendors are still telling us today, months later, that this was the best wedding band that they’ve ever seen. We are extremely happy with our decision to hire Vitamin M for our wedding. No diggity, no doubt.

I have been a photographer since 2017 and have shot over 200 weddings to date. If you’re looking to add an ally to your wedding team you are in the right place! We will provide consultation to avoid the common wedding day hiccups. Whether it’s running behind schedule or securing the best available locations for your photos. Have you ever modeled before? Probably not, and that’s ok!! We have successfully worked with all personality types. Our goal is to bring your vision to life. No two weddings should be the same. We will approach your special day as a huge collaborative effort.

Not sure where to start.  Manai totally took us by surprise.  We knew we wanted something a little different but weren’t sure what exactly.  Personally, I hate taking photos, but he kept us engaged with conversation and simple directions, and things flowed naturally.  His sense of humor was a pleasant surprise.   My fiancé really wanted a good pic with our dog, and Manai totally blew us away.  So creative!!  Highly recommended!!!!

Hello! I’m the man behind the camera, capturing moments with deep passion for a couple of decades. What began as a simple hobby quickly grew into a mission to freeze time and immortalize your joyous occasions, candid moments, and raw emotions. My goal is to make my photos more than just images—they’re reflections of your most cherished moments, creating a deep connection between you and your memories. My work isn’t just a transaction; it’s about fostering a friendly, approachable environment where you feel comfortable and enjoy the process. I hope you come to love your photos as much as I love creating them.

Richard Krutick is special. A special talent as well as a special man. He captured it! The day after our wedding he sent me a teaser gallery of what was to come. I was blown away. When planning my wedding the photographer was the most critical to me -I was picky. When I saw his work he turned my entire way of looking at my wedding around. Richard and I had over an hour-long conversation and we clicked. I, having a creative director background and working with photographers all my career, was thrilled because we spoke the same language. I wanted honest, documentary-style moments captured without noticing the presence of the photographer. He was there when you needed him and you liked him. My guests were saying what a warm and great guy he is. He got their personalities, each and every one of them. He looks at everything with a special eye. Right at the time of my outdoor wedding with the most beautiful view and lush floral arbor, it poured and didn't stop. Gravel walkways turning into mud, no bride or groom wants to see. He just grabbed the moments and ran with them. Pivoting, he captured the most creative and editorial images I could ever dream of. He took the storm and made it beautiful. I hope I will have another event, moment, fun-filled party, or cherished time that he can again capture so we can work with him again.

Hey hi, I am Vital (pronounced as Vee-tal), and I am your most chill wedding guest with a few cameras around my neck and a cheerful smile. I have been a wedding photographer since 2016, and every year I fall in love with my job more and more. My wife and I have a dog and a cat. We love to travel, eat good food and binge-watch good shows. I enjoy reading or listening to books, especially adventure novels and biographies. Alpine climbing, backpacking, and road-tripping are among my favorite activities too. There is more to my life story on my website :)

My husband and I found Vital's beautiful photography through Instagram. As a photographer myself, finding the perfect photographer to capture our wedding in October was a tough decision. From the minute we contacted Vital he was friendly, professional and knew exactly what he was talking about. Vital's style is artistic and documentary and exactly what we were looking for. As part of our wedding package he included an engagement shoot. My husband and I aren't the best in front of a camera but he made us feel comfortable straight away and we had so much fun! The experience of the shoot was just as great of a memory as the photos we received from it. Having Vital shoot our engagement really put our minds at ease that we choose the right person for our wedding. The photos from our wedding were incredibly important to us and it was nice not worrying about them on our wedding day. Vital delivered close to 500 photos of our wedding which really captured every moment of the day. He even agreed to drive to another location after our reception to capture a few more photos for us, which we are truly grateful for. We are beyond happy with how the photos of our special day turned out. We've had so many compliments from family and friends and would definitely recommend him to other couples!

I’m a photographer, mom, wife, snowboarder, roller coaster enthusiast, former math teacher, and former mechanical engineer. I love the process of learning, which led to me earning my Ph.D. (but you don’t have to call me Dr.)! I have an extremely short attention span, am addicted to wearing beanies and headbands, and am fueled by chai tea. I'm socially awkward and I make weird faces when I concentrate to take photos. I dress for comfort and for rolling around on the ground, standing in creeks, and climbing into trees to capture the best angles for my photographs — but I do clean up reasonably well on wedding days!

Carrie is UHMAZING! We’ve had her photograph our engagement, wedding - flew her to Maui b/c we love and trust her work so much! - and we go back every year for Santa photos. She’s the absolute best and worth every cent.

Two Upper West Siders. Twenty blocks apart. How had we not crossed paths before? Or did we? Well, after finally matching on Hinge we made that happen and the rest is history! We have combined families and now as a family of 7 (three dogs, two cats) we have become an unstoppable force. We both share the same passion for photography, capturing the beauty all around us and making magic happen. Our dog Lucy, embodies love, kindness and poise. We couldn’t imagine naming our business after anyone but her. That’s how Love, Lucy Photography came to be.

Not only are they both lovers of Taylor Swift (so am I so we had lots to chat about!) Bethany and Raquel are phenomenal photographers/people in general and you shouldn’t hesitate to book them. I’ve recommended them to basically everyone I know getting married or has even the most distant of plans to get married. They go above and beyond the basic responsibilities of photographers and genuinely love documenting love. I hope to book them for literally anything in the future. They were the very first vendor we booked in our entire wedding planning process and set the bar waaaay too high for everyone else. They were one of the few vendors we reached out to that did an initial Zoom consultation. I think based on rom-coms I had this crazy idea in my head that wedding planning was done through in-person appointments, but I quickly learned most is done through emails and phone calls making it all feel a little impersonal. Our first meeting with Bethany and Raquel was amazing and it felt like they were actually invested in learning about us as a couple (they definitely were!) and the type of photography experience/style we were looking for. Their kind and thoughtful personalities led us to book them for our engagement shoot and wedding straight away. They definitely can meet you at whatever level of crazy you’re currently running at. For example, for our engagement shoot I had made a whole powerpoint of the types of shots I wanted as well as potential outfits. I did a complete 180 by the wedding and I told them I trusted their artistic vision completely and had no shot list other than the groupings for formal portraits. The photographs came in while we were on our honeymoon and we were blown away by the gallery. Everything was beautifully photographed, edited, and curated. On the wedding day my husband and I were excited for our first look partially because we got to see each other, but also because it was a hang sesh with both of them (lol!). They are wonderful people who put you at ease whenever you chat with them and become your genuine lifelong friends along the way. Many guests complimented their work style in which they weren't intrusive during the ceremony, but were constantly snapping both candid and posed photos. We didn’t want our wedding to feel merely like a spectacle –we wanted it to be a gathering of all our loved ones, so Bethany and Raquel's candid style was a perfect match for us.
